Dale Leisch on City Council - Midday Mobile - 9-19-24
"There will be no personal nor direct attacks on anyone, and I would ask that you please try to keep down the loud cheering and the clapping. There will be no booing and no unruly behavior." With that, this is painful, and it will be for a long time. "Don't fuck, baby! That's right! This man knows what's up." "After all, these are a couple of high-stepping turkeys, and you know what to say about a high stepper. No stepper, too high for a high stepper." This is Midday Mobile with Sean Sullivan on FMTalk1065. "What a shot at the top guy, I mean, I think everybody knows that." "You know, Sean, he took some licks, he hangs in there." "Yeah, what's wrong with the beer we got? I mean, the beer we got drank pretty good, don't it?" "Did you hear what I said?" "So this is a brave council, I had no doubt about them." "That doesn't suck." "If you don't like it, you're bad." "Last question. Were you high on drugs?" "Last question, kiss my sh*t." "Alright, here we go, FMTalk1065 at Midday Mobile on this Thursday. Glad to have you here. Our number two." And check in with my man Dale Leach from Lanyat. Lanyatmobile.com. Bond the Vaunt, Man Around Town, a bucker of architectural rules in downtown Mobile. I won't say exactly Oakley where he is, but he's on the line with us. Now, hey man. "Hey, I am at Lanyat Brook headquarters here in downtown, beautiful downtown Mobile." So did you clear security and you're in? "Oh yeah, I'm in. I'm in. We have a real tough security in that it's a locked door." "What you've seen?" "You can get a little known, little known fact and if you have a key to set locked door, you can get in the set locked door. So that's what I did." Okay. Like your covert mission there, for sure. I want to talk about with you, a new issue of Lanyat bout, but this story, you and I, I think it's maybe three weeks of this we've discussed about the opioid settlement funds. And you had originally come in, we came in and talked about it when Helios Alliance comes in to, I think some people are mistaking because I saw some things on the text line as well. Helios Alliance is not the provider of the care. They are right, what they are there to do, what? "They're there to simply take the politics out of the decision making process when it comes to deciding who, what providers will get funding from the $2.2 million. So they have, they have a, I think it's called system dynamics, it's a, it's a computer modeling program. And what they do is they will, they will use the model and, you know, customize it for the mobile area and then they will take applications from now until October 18th and they will, they will use the model and they will say, "This application will do, our model, you know, our model. Based on our model, this application, this group will do the most, you know, we'll have the greatest impact with, you know, the fewest amount of dollars. So we're going to give them the money they've requested. So it's sort of like, it's sort of like they are trying to, you know, find, use computer models to figure out which of the applicants for the $2.2 million will have the biggest impact and be most efficient. And so, you know, they're just basically the best way to spend the money is being decided by a third party group rather than, you know, the mayor's office or the city council making a decision on their own. Okay. I mean, this is where I got off in my AI conversation last week with you, but, but it's not, it's not AI, but they are using this. So I just, yeah. And you said October. You're going to a computer model, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. October 18th is the, they are asking, they are asking for requests for, they're, they're sent out a request for proposals. So they're asking for proposals and applications to be backlogged. October 18th for any, both for profit or nonprofit agency that wants to come, that has an idea for how to best use the $2.2 million in the city's opioid settlement funds. So this would be, this would be, you know, this could be anything from, you know, impatient care, you know, transitional housing sort of stuff, you know, you know, residential, you know, residential living for your recovery, that sort of thing. All of those would are areas where they could potentially see, you know, this money could potentially go and they're going to scrub the applications of any identifying information, send it to, and send it to a committee that will then decide, you know, local, committee of local people that will then decide based on computer model, what, what's the best use of the money. Now, now if they are successful, we'll have the most impact for our most impact. Yeah. And if they're successful with that, just a suggestion that the, and if y'all want to pay me for this over at Helios, that's fine. You then make your pitch to the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission and say, Hey, y'all, y'all let us do this now. Y'all stop what you're doing. Let us step in and do this. It really would. I mean, I don't know, you know, lost you to going to lawsuit, right? But I definitely would, something, something to that effect, some of that effect can't hurt in this, this terrible scenario we have with medical cannabis, because let me point out once again, after years of talking about it, but let me ask the esteemed reporter Dale Leach, are people who need the medical cannabis, getting it now legally in the state of Alabama? Not, not to my knowledge yet. No, and I've been covering this since the beginning, so it's been, it's been, what, three or four years now? Correct. Still, you still know. It is a failure. It is a failure. Yeah. Yeah. I can't think of it. God does so. There's so many failures in government, but this has got to be one of the, one of the most disappointing ones for sure. Yeah. So yeah, absolutely. All right. Let's also talk. We mentioned that for Helios for City Council, also at council, we've made official now officially got the new, the new mobile police chief. Yeah. Chief William Jackson is the, is officially the police chief. They took the interim tag off at the city council meeting Tuesday. And I did not go to the city council meeting Brady Petrie went forming because I was working on the cover story, to be honest with you, to let you guys a little bit of the inside baseball. I decided to skip and let Brady go, and I told them, it was funny. I told them, I'm like, well, they've got the, they've got the police chief on the agenda, but they'll wait a week, certainly, before they, because it's a, it's a new item. They'll wait a week before they appoint him. But no, they wave the rules and appointed, you know, I said, pointed and confirmed him. They wave the rules and confirmed him, and I, I get that. I get, I, I was surprised by it, but I do understand the move because like, you're not going to get, with a year out, a little less than a year out from the general municipal election, you're not going to get, you're not going to bring anybody in from out of town, say, to be the police chief, you're not going to move anybody to Mobile. So you kind of have to, you kind of have to, you know, either, either keep Chief Jackson as the interim, or remove the tag and make him official. And then, you know, I'm not saying he won't be the chief, if, if Stimson runs again and is reelected. But you should explain that to folks too, that that, that they, they serve at the discretion of the, of the mayor, right? So if somebody else was in without now, that, yeah, the council would have to, the council would have to, you know, as we saw with Paul Price, would have to make the vote to get, to get rid of them once they're confirmed, but they do serve at the pleasure of the mayor. That's absolutely true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So people would wonder why you, I just cleared that up because they'd like, why is he saying somebody moved from out of town? That's why. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Right. It's like, you know, it'd be like any other job opportunity. Right. It's the right person comes along. They could, you know, the city cast a wide net, a wide enough net, they could come bring them in from out of town, have moved Mobile. You're just not going to do that with a year left. You know, if they don't know what the future is in a year, say the mayor doesn't run again or gets reelected or he doesn't get reelected and somebody comes in and doesn't want you to be chief and you've moved here or you, you know, I could see why you wouldn't want to do that. So, so they, they took the interim tag off of chief Jackson that he is the official police chief. Now I just, I just, I was a little surprised that they did it so quickly, but, you know, I get it too. I think people were calling for a kind of to settle the issue with the police chief and I think this is the way to do it. Thanks for now. And, you know, I had friends behind there with MPD on the show last week, just as, as officers coming in and looking at some of the, and with the great, the group, Men United Against Violence, but we're looking at some of the, the stats here, crime stats and things were trended the right way. I mean, there are some, there are some good news there. So, and I want to report, you know, I'm like, it's, if there's good news, I want to report it as well. So things for looking, you know, better. Yeah. A lot of the violent crimes throughout the city are down and haven't been down or have been trending down for a while. So that pretty much the entire year, the one, there's a big meatball of a cavity up there and that homicides a little bit, they're nowhere, they're nowhere near the record breaking you, we had what, 2021, but, but there, there, I think there's 17 homicides so far this year. So we're, I mean, we're not, I think 51 was the record, right? So we're not anywhere near that yet, but, but, you know, 17, 17, you mean, correct? That's what I would tell you. So, so how to fly through it, but everything else, everything else is down. The city is actually safer than it was a year ago, for sure. It's good news. It's good news. We hopefully keep that trend. All right. Tell folks about, because I've mentioned how many things I'm getting daily from landing up. I'm not doing that by getting my fingers dirty with newsprint. I'm doing that with the computer, my friends. So how do people do what I'm doing and get signed up? Yeah, yeah. You got to keep the news fresh. I mean, news is, news is only news. It's new, right? So, so laying handle build.com is the website, click the subscribe button, get signed up. We'd love the support. Like I said, we're locally owned and operated, and, and we are, you know, we are here for you and we want to keep you as up to date as possible so you have to look at our website. If you do want to get your fingers dirty, we have, you know, purple boxes all over town. Just check your new news, Dan, you'll see it. Check it out. Thank you. Well done. Dale Leach. We'll talk next week, Ben. All right. There he goes. And we're coming right back. Oh, yeah. And by the way, I made my, at 52 years old, I made my first meme today. It's up on the X or the Twitter feed at FMTalk1065. I love how I did, but I sent it to my kids and they're like, oh, dad, I can't believe you're doing that. I made my first meme. It's up there. Go check it out. It's at FMTalk1065 on X or Twitter. All right. To the text line here as this text or first time texts are cool. Welcome aboard. Said, I'm 47 and voted in every election. I live on four steel drive and get sent to four steel elementary as my polling location. It's a majority African American polling location. It has maybe 60 parking lots available. In the last presidential election, I tried three times to enter the parking lot, but after sitting in the right lane off Moffatt Road, behind 20 other vehicles attempting to do the same thing I gave up each time. On my fourth try, I was able to enter the parking lot, only to find zero spots available and spent 20 minutes going in a circle, only to leave the lot unsuccessful again. I suppose I could have parked in the pigly wiggly parking lot, crossed five lanes of Moffatt Road traffic, hiked a quarter of a mile to the school to stand along line. But at that point, I just gave up. My wife never voted for anything in her life until the last presidential election when she was inspired to register to vote. We live at the same address and she gets sent to the Mobile Museum of Art and then it trails us as a more wealthy and then the text ends here. That's interesting to me, text her. That'll be a question for Judge Davis. If you all live at the same, we hope you do, you live at the same address there and you have different polling location. That's, I don't know if I've ever heard that before, give me more info on that. I'm interested and maybe get it to the probate judge but if you go to, oh my gosh, I'd have to look at it. If you go to the Secretary of State website and there's like my Alabama votes, I could go look it up for you but if you go there and put your address in, it'll show you where you vote. It'd be interesting if you both put that same address in, if it gave you a different polling place. I've never heard of that so, but you know, listen, learn new things daily, every other day. All right, this textor says this guy, meaning I guess, meaning smart figures, is a product of big government to the tune of $1.4 million primary residence in DC area like Anthony Daniels mentioned. I point out though, it not take away from that but like, I think my little house would cost $1.4 million in the DC area because all the government money said he's pushed for more government spending, seems like he'll say anything the audience wants to hear. This beat, beat arc says it should, first of all, it says your health care is not a government responsibility. It's yours and then said it should be an honor to vote if it's automatic anybody can vote for you. I do, I do stick with it. I like, even with my, my eldest child, right, getting her registered to vote and I don't know how she's going to vote, but the, the lift on it, I think is important. And this is one of these things where I don't, like most things I can hear, like, great arguments either way and I'm not saying I can't change my mind on it, but it's going to be a real big push for me to change my mind on that. Not because I want to disenfranchise anybody. Think anybody who's been listening to me for any period of time, but I don't want that. What I want is you to take part in our Republic. I want you to take, and that means going and doing the thing and getting, well, then do it and do it. All right. Um, let's see, Mr. Plot, um, let's see, he said, come on, Shabari, Hillary Clinton still says that Trump was an illegitimate president. Yes. That was one of the ones on my list there, Mr. Plot died. I did. Now, has Trump garnered the most attention for questioning election? Sure. Have Democrats done it? Yes. They have. Um, let's see, this far dog says maybe the Democrats could cut taxes and people could afford their, could afford this own, their own health care instead of government ruining health care. He said, if you look behind a Bush racism behind that rock racism under the floorboard racism, it's a typical Democrat. I asked the questions that I think a lot of times people are like clutching pearls when I ask it because I just want to know like if does our, is there a history of disenfranchising voters? Dang right, there is, but we're in 2024 now. So Shabari and I, both mobile guys, we turn 18, we go to get registered to vote. Is it any, it's no different for either of us, right? And he was a vote Democrat and a vote Republican or libertarian or puppy dog party, whatever. We still have, I don't see any impediment that's different in today's world. Yes. Somebody said, what's so hard about registering to vote. Terry says, while you may be a libertarian and listen, I have, I don't even know if I'm a libertarian now, I have libertarian ideas. The party, the ticket this year, could it be worse for the libertarians? I mean, we're like, it's like the bad news bears, I swear. It says, while you may be a libertarian and it may be wise to listen to the other side, I can hardly stand to listen to the Biden attorney Democrat. I can't stand them. Well, that's bring both sides and Caroline Dobson will come on here and then I'll have people like Jean or somebody gets mad about it. It's fine. We're not in the world of having to have echo chamber all the time. Let's see. Yeah. Somebody about the Gary's talking about the Hillary thing. Yes. Absolutely Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton. Yeah. And yeah, the flip side might. So Michael says, there's two things he said, I won't call figures a liar because that's not polite. I'd say he's a falsehood teller and a race baiter. He also goes on to say he, Michael says he, I guess being Shmari figures, believes it's only legitimate if the Dems do it. All right, scooter says there was no mail in drop boxes in 2016, but there was in 2020. The guy is so uninformed. Yeah. A lot of questions like backstrap stacker saying, Ashmari, how often the state is the apartment in town. That's the, you know, that I hear you and backstrap, you're not the only one that's pointed these things out, but I almost think like getting into where the homestead was and this that it's like a semantic argument that, that six weeks out from the election, I don't think is going to change anything. Yeah. Steve, somebody, the Hillary thing is where I was there about 50 of y'all on here saying the same thing. Let's see, uh, it totally flushes it out a little more said, Shmari figures just told you big lie. There were plenty of Democrats calling Donald Trump an illegitimate president, including Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, the list goes on non. So I'd rather a lot of people not vote, someone who can't name the three branches of the federal government has no business voting. I wouldn't want someone who doesn't know anything about medicine to do brain surgery on me. If I want someone who doesn't know anything about the government to vote, I don't want okay. I don't want someone who doesn't know anything about the government to vote. That's common sense. I would like, yes, I would like people to have an idea what they're voting on, but even people who go through the process that I like of getting registered to vote doesn't mean they know everything, but I agree with you, Tony, I want people to have some idea what they're voting for. Constitution doesn't say that and you know how I am about the Constitution. All right, be right back. This is Midday Mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM Talk 10065. You know, after a couple of days of discussion, what has to be the masterclass in warfare, espionage, science, destruction of command and control that maybe, just maybe the Israelis in the side pulled off, seeing the headline here on Drudge, the headline, what will explode next? It's something they pulled off here. I know we've talked about a good bit. We may come back to that later on this hour. Hey, this segment of the show brought to you by my buddy Clint Jamison at Adventure Earth Bicycles. So the name tells you he's got bicycles. All right, you got that. Non-electric bikes, he has around 400 in stock at any time. So if you're looking for mountain bikes or road bikes or hybrids or what's the new one I learned about from him that he's riding gravel bikes, which is kind of like on-road dirt road or gravel roads, right? So it's people that he says it's been precipitated by people that were riding road bikes on paved roads and got worried about the safety of it, right? And give people good hit, those kind of things. And they started riding more dirt roads and gravel roads and all that. And these bikes performed somewhat like a 10 speed, but then had the little bigger tire and suspension for dealing with gravel roads. Pretty cool. I'm in the other part of the shop there with the e-bikes. He has over 75 electric bikes in stock at any time. Love mine, love to ride mine. And yes, I ride mine by pushing the pedals, not all electric, and it's been a joy. He's in the woods. I know that people, I use it for exercise. He's for hunting. I'm getting ready, hopefully. He's it for a canoe shuttle, a trip we're getting ready to take, you know, where you drop off the vehicle and then shuttle, okay, canoe people know what I'm talking about, but also talk to people. I don't have an RV, like to have an RV, but people have an RV, so they take them with them to use as their transportation once they get to where they're going for the vacation or the weekend. They park the RV and get on the e-bike and ride to go get groceries, do stuff in town, all that. So many use for these e-bikes, he's got a great selection of them in addition to just the bikes and the fact that he's a full service bike shop. So even if you didn't buy your bike from them, they can do all the service work on your bike, but they got the accessories. If you don't sling them in the back of the pickup, like I do, they got car racks from Swagman, Tully, Couat, also the bags and panniers that go on. I'm looking at these big times, so I can haul stuff with me on the bicycle. They've got all those as well. Great helmets, which you need to wear if you're riding the bicycle, all that in stock. My buddy Clint Jamison's place, Adventure Earth Bicycles at the corner of Little Flower and Airport in Midtown, online at adventure-earth.com, I go see them, everything inside to get you outside. Tell Clint I said, "What's up?" Maybe we'll come see him riding this next week. All right, back to the text line, holy good, this is a lot of commentary here. If people ask me how long has Mr. Figger's been in D.C., well, he was there during the Obama administration and I don't know if he stayed there the whole time. I think he has had a residence there. This textured goes on to say the absentee ballots were not exploited. That absentee ballots were not exploited to the steal of the 2020 election. That's merely anecdotal, is a dishonest argument. He said Mr. Figger's is dishonest and unfit. Another unnamed textured, "I'm going on a rampage. Y'all give yourself a nickname. Come on." unnamed textured. He says, "I'm pretty sure Caroline Dobson has spent more time in Mobile over the last six months than Shomari has in the last 12 years." That's a question, too, that even though I don't know, political analysts wouldn't do this, but this is just some homeboy stuff, if you're living rural, what TV market do you look at, basically, right? If you're, you know, Caroline grew up in Monroeville in that area, Monroe County, and Monroe County, while it's not Mobile, if you had to say which community, which bigger city influences it, I would say it's Mobile, more than Montgomery. I don't know. We got to have somebody here, whether it's because they grew up here or they know about it. I mean, I am worried. I am worried about not getting the attention for Mobile that we did in the past, big time. Back when we were a community of interest, and it was a Southwest portion of the state, not everybody's interests were the same, but we were linked together more as a community to have these districts now, AL1 from Dauphin Island to Dothin, AL2 from, people say, from Mobile to Montgomery, but how about Mobile to Youfala, state line to state line? All right, Adam on the text line said, Sean, my two takeaway reactions from your interview are these. Shamari actually said that in 2016, no Democrats questioned the election results. I don't know what rock he was under, but it was a Democrat, Democratic and their media comrades that Trump said Trump's presidency was legitimate, and infuriates me that Democrats continue imply that black people are not capable or smart enough to obtain proper ID and register to vote. It's the analogy I made here. I mean, that if Shamari and I, both Mobile guys, and we both turned out older than him, but we both turned 18 at the same time in 2024, look at the history, but I'm not talking about now that there's no big, this idea that there's an impediment to somebody who's, you know, somebody who's black versus somebody who's white going to get registered to vote. I don't, I don't see it. I mean, I'm doing that with my eyes wide open, my heart open on that. Tell me how that, tell me how today it is. Yeah. So King of all unnamed texture said, Shamari forgets about the Democratic calls to not certify the 2016 presidential election, or am I missing something? All right, Jean. All right, Jean says, when an uninsured person walks into the emergency room, it starts at a thousand dollars, which we all pay you talking about on the Medicaid expansion back to those numbers here. So Parker, which is, you know, not exactly a right wing. That's public affairs. Research Council of Alabama, not exactly some right wing conservative group have predict, have projected that Medicaid expansion could cost the state of Alabama $225 million a year for six years, and then it could go up from there. We don't, they don't predict beyond that. They don't project beyond that. So I don't, year seven can't tell you what happens. You know, and it didn't get time in the interview, but one of my questions too is. So Shamari figures was making the argument that, hey, it's cheaper if you get these people coverage and get them in the system, get in checkups, the old ounce of prevention costs less than a pound of cure, right? Okay. That's fair enough. But it's also the idea that all those people right now that would move into medic, the Medicare ranks that would move in with this change would all, it would be static. Wouldn't you argue that some of those 350,000, I think is the number he gave that would move into jobs where they had insurance and wouldn't need it, you know, the idea that that would be the static 350 and it would differ change and they would all be there. Why wouldn't it be that they would obtain, you know, care through a job that they got? So I mean, Jean, it's a, it is a numbers game since we signed on to the system, right? We're going to make sure there's a path for everybody to get health insurance, but back to the thing, the real world part of it and I talked about it and I think he agreed, Shamari figures agreed that you can provide that care that doesn't mean people are going to go get their checkups, right? I mean, you could have it, I mean, there's a lot of data to show that guys and maybe some gals, but guys, you know, we'll, we'll not go. All right, let's see here, Chris and Daphne said typically the reason two people in the same house have different polling places is one of them is listed at a street address in, street address north and the other one may be inadvertently entered as street address south. Okay, maybe that's their issue. All right, community notes wannabe said, we have a U.S. Senator, you talked about Tuberville. Yeah, we have a, says we have a U.S. Senator who lives in Florida and wasn't able to name the three branches of government. Did he not name the three? When did that happen? And community notes wannabe, if you know, you remember the history when he was running for office, I was a persona non grata with, with Tuberville. I think he's done a good job since he's been in office. But yeah, he and I had several interviews that now just being me didn't go great. But I think he's done a good job since he's gotten there. He's acted way more statesman like I think than than I thought back then. Ah, let's see. So be dark since Israel will win or we will all be done. You know, the what we could, you wonder this, I was talking to friends of mine that know a lot more about this stuff than me. This morning. And I said, cause I kind of getting friends that have a reason to know something. They're ranking of what massage, I know they're not admitting to it, but what massage pulled off here and to a tee, every one of my guys I've talked to said, amazing masterclass. And I said, do you think, you know, the CIA, you know, had had these techniques and several of them said to be with the way the Biden administration has treated Israel, although it does like the words of Biden have not been a full-throated support. Sometimes they are. Sometimes they aren't, but they continue to bring us, I mean, you have a, you realize the amount of naval, uh, naval assets we have in the region now, we've continued to bring them in, continue to give them money. But they're saying because of that rift, maybe massage didn't share with the CIA. Listen, if I had a plan that was as awesome as the one they just rolled out, I don't know if I had shared it with many people in massage. I kept it a very small group of people that knew about that because it took time, right? This is something they set up over months and months and months and months or years or year in this plan. And you probably wouldn't have, uh, you know, you spend that much time with something out there, eventually something leaks and I think they did obviously no leaks in that. Aiden and citronell, oh, asking me about adventure with bicycles. Do they have gun rocks for your bike? They do, Aiden, they do, so, and you can get on the e-bikes or the non e-bikes. You can get, you can get the racks on the handlebars, like if you're carrying a shotgun or a rifle or something like that. They also make handgun mounts for the, for the bikes as well, where you can have those on the bike. So yes, um, but call down there to see if your bike fits it or what, you know, um, that's Clint's world. So call them and get that figured out. All right, um, Adam says, Sean, I can't remember the number, but in the same report about how many Americans can't name three branches of government. It also said some alarming percentage of Americans think that judge Judy or some other TV judge is a member of the Supreme Court. Now, I heard that too, Adam. I think it was one of the, like the national news updates when you hear town hall radio USA, you hear the, you know, like the beginning and the halfway through the hour. I think I heard, I'll Google that during the break. I heard that same thing too that somebody, some percentage of the people in that poll said they believe judge Judy was on the Supreme Court before you can even type the text. I would say maybe be a good thing to have judge Judy on the Supreme Court, although she doesn't need the money. Have you ever, she worked out great deals and syndication. I mean, she got it stacked up. She'd make it. I mean, she'd make it, I mean, not Oprah money, but she, she knew very good for herself. All right. Be right back. You're listening to Midday Mobile with Sean Sullivan on FMTalk 1065. By 152 FMTalk 10065, Midday Mobile on this little Friday, Friday Eve edition show. So to ask the question before I was asked, I think it was at, yeah, Adam 10%. So what Adam was talking about is that the poll out there about, because he said the number of Americans that couldn't name the three branches of government and how many Americans think judge Judy is a member of the Supreme Court, at least according to this survey here, 10%. The story was, let's see here, it says on the first day of his American national government class, Professor Kevin Dauff asked how many of his students are United States citizens, every hand shoots up, he says, how did you, all you people become citizens, did you pass a test? No, one young woman says tentatively, we were born here. And then end quote, then it says, it's a good thing because based on his years of making his students at the University of South Carolina, Beaufort, take the test given to immigrant seeking US citizenship, most would be rejected. Sorry, Professor. That's something we've been doing on this. I think the first time I did that was 15 years ago on the show, and that started the constitutional quiz thing we did for a while, right? Because we would have people call in, and I would ask the citizenship question and remember you could lose your citizenship, I mean, if I had the right to take it. So in this, it said they did this survey here, it said, the hears the stats said, most states require some sort of high school civics instruction, but with surveys, and I'm here to tell you my government econ class, my senior year was fantastic, was fantastic, and made a big difference in my life for sure. But it said most states require some sort of high school civics instruction, but with surveys showing that a third of American adults can't name the three branches of the federal government, and one in 10 college graduates, the smart college kids, huh? And 10 of them think Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court in that. So there you go. I would like to see what is required civics in our school system. I mean, I think that there's so many things we teach in school that kids go, "Ah, well, you know, I just got to just got to get through this to get to the next level." Well, then this is one you should do, and hopefully something resides there. But yeah, if people are deciding Judge Judy or they think one in 10, that's not the majority, but it's 10%, thinks Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court, or I would suggest this too. Sometimes people are, like, just answer things to be funny. So I don't know how, I mean, if it's a survey, some people might do it just to be, not that any of y'all were ever class clowns and did things to be funny, but maybe that's part of it. I think you do the, you know, cable news likes to do the man on the street and go ask people about this, that and the other. And it doesn't give me a warm fuzzy, you know, another thing too, this is probably more nuanced and subtle, but I think it's important, and one of the things I hope this station does over time as well, because there's no blame on anybody here, because I think you should name the three branches of government. I think you should have that. I will cast dispersions on you for that. And it's something I really noticed when launching the station, the people will be frustrated about an issue, pick whatever the issue is, that I might be frustrated about it as well. But where they place the blame was on either the wrong level of government. They might be mad at something they think is federal and its state, or something they might be mad about, they think is county or municipal and it's a state thing or vice versa. So that was an interesting thing to figure out if this thing is whatever the issue is, you have who's phone, you got a ring, right, who's responsible for that. And so that's probably a little more advanced than, hey, is Judge Judy on the Supreme Court or can you name the three branches of government? But I think it's fair to say too. It also shows you the importance of local government, right? We preach that all the time, so much of the attention and listen, we do it too, so much of the show is what's happening at a presidential level, what's happening in Washington. And I do not discount its importance, but day in and day out, needle it into what goes on like we've pushed since launching this, what goes on, Montgomery, right, that was, I remember seeing this kind of hole there that local issues were covered to some degree, right? I mean, this, Bull County, and then federal was, but there was this golf in between that was Montgomery, which I think we've done a pretty good job of, of filling that part of it in. But you still got to pay attention to Montgomery and then down to, you know, where your precinct is, you go vote vocally inside your city. Yeah. Oh, yeah, B.Darks says Judge Judy would have to take a pay cut. I said the same thing. She, I don't know what the number is. I hadn't pulled up in a while, but you can go just Google, just Google Judge Judy. And you know, what is it that comes up like net worth, it's like half the celebrities, the first thing that comes up on the Google searches like net worth or married, but you'll find it. I mean, she's got bugs. She's got it. She's got it stacked up. All right, community notes want to be came back here because he had said U.S. Senator Elizabeth Florida wasn't able to name the three branches of government that said he had my issues. He didn't know he didn't say that on my show. So community notes want to be said, he said it to Todd Stacey on his podcast, he said our government wasn't set up for one group to have all three branches of government. It wasn't set up that way. Mr. Teverville said, you know, the house, the Senate and the executive. Okay. Give me a link. Good. Thank you. Community notes want to be. I appreciate the link. Let's see. When was that? When he's running for office? But yeah, if he couldn't, did he, did he, was he like, I'll have to go back and listen to it. Was he like emphatic about it or did he just like trip up? Believe me, I will thank you for the link. I will go listen to that. Jessica says SUV in the water off on the calls for a dolphin island, slow down on the east side. Oh gosh. What's going on down there? And thank you, Randall. He's got the latest fan here, $480 million net worth for Judge Judy. Yeah, I'd stay away from SCOTUS and keep making decisions about who gets to keep the pet. Find it on the next one.
