Red Lights - Rob Holbert from Lagniappe Tribute to Little Sister - Mobile Mornings - Thursday 9-19-24
on our website and I'll see you next week on the news. Sports weather from Dr Bill Williams, traffic info from Cain and one of the Gulf Coast most familiar voices. It's mobile mornings with Dan Brennan and Dalton are wig. Guess is on the test line right now in the hills of Kentucky. What do you say when you find a dead body? You're not going to get it. You're not going to quite get it. I don't think anyway. That's part of what we're going to talk about here and he had shot it to some cars on the highway. I guess interstate. He did take his own life and his body was finally found yesterday. I mean, the story kind of disappeared because so much is going on. Yeah. And he just disappeared into the hollers of Kentucky and someone found him. Yeah, we'll play that audio. You might find that a little interesting little later on. Also, I have some other interesting audio Democrats of the past talking about illegal immigration, the perils of illegal immigration. Yeah. Two big names. I don't know if you've heard of these two former president, Bill Clinton, and Chuck Schumer, who is the Senate majority leader. Yeah, one was from about 25 years ago and one was from about 15 years. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll get into that audio as well. But I wanted to talk about these school threats. We've been seeing them in our area. I mean, we've had a couple in Foley just in the last four or five days, Foley high school threats and then Foley middle school threats earlier this week. And there've been so many arrests made in our state. I know there were several in the Birmingham area, Montgomery area. You had some in the pan handle of Florida arrests made there. And even a Baldwin County student, I believe a student at Alberta High School who says, Hey, we need to do something about security here and started a petition online to maybe get Baldwin County schools to add metal detectors. And remember, that was a big part of the conversation going into this school year with Mobile County public schools. And Johnny Hatcher, we talked to him in studio about all of those safety measures at those schools at nauseam, for sure. Yeah. And we'll hopefully have Johnny on again to talk about that and numerous other subjects. But it's been a big topic of conversation here recently. I think they were around was it 86, maybe metal detectors put in her weapons detection systems put into Mobile County schools before this year. And I'd love to see some stats on that. I mean, how many different weapons or vapes? Remember, that was a big part of the conversation where vaping devices and the ability of these detectors to, I guess, see those and have them taken from students backpacks or wherever they may be hiding them before they go into class. I thought this was notable. So a Florida sheriff. This was in Volusia County, Florida. An 11 year old boy was not only arrested Monday, but perp walked. He's now facing a felony for allegedly making shooting threats at two different schools. And you may have seen this sheriff go viral over the last week or so. I guess this all happened this week. Sheriff Mike Chittwood said this is absolutely out of control, and it ends now. Sheriff Chittwood said they received 54 tips and had to devote a lot of manpower to the investigation. He said what they found, and this is an 11 year old boy we're talking about here, what they found was a hit list. Some of the names appeared to have stab marks. Deputies also recovered airsoft rifles, pistols, and fake ammo, along with knives, swords, and other weapons. The boy was allegedly showing off to other students on a FaceTime call and the boy told deputies it was all a joke, but Chittwood, the sheriff, is not laughing. Quote, "What we are going to start doing Mondays is, since parents, you don't want to raise your kids, I'm going to start raising them. Every time we make an arrest, your kid's photo is going to be put out there. And if I can do it, I'm going to perp walk your kid so that everybody can see what your kid is up to. The second point of this is if I can find any way or if I can any way find that a parent knew what was going on and wasn't doing anything, your ass is getting perp walked with them." The sheriff said, "And of course, in this Fox 10 story, they mentioned some of the other threats that have been called into schools, including in Escambia County, and so this is a major problem. But remember, it wasn't that long ago that we were having the perp walk discussion right here in Mobile." They stopped doing it. They stopped. Yeah. Right. And I guess the reasoning behind that was to avoid, I guess, copycat scenarios or someone looking to maybe make a name for themselves in the criminal world and that perp walk scene. I think the words that they used can't remember if it was barber or prying at the time or who, but said that getting that perp walk was kind of like a badge of honor in many of these circles. So, perp walking children, I mean, I can see what his point is here. He's wanting to say, you know, someone has to be held accountable. And right now, with so many different threats going on, maybe some kids are being held accountable, but maybe other kids aren't seeing that and continue to call in threats, maybe don't realize how severe their punishment may end up being the whatever time they may end up doing. But the pitfalls of perp walks, you have the badge of honor thing that we talked about here in Mobile. But also, is it constitutional to do that? I mean, I've always wondered that with the newspaper rags that would come out of mug shots here in Mobile. I don't even know if they still do that. I don't, you find like a circle care or something like that. But I don't, I never really was interested in them. So, I don't know if they're still there or not, but I haven't seen them. Well, those were very popular for a time. Yeah. You have the perp walks. And I've always just kind of, you know, there's some people where you know they're bad. Maybe the state has been on the lookout for them for some time. They finally get them. They say, hey, look, we got them. Here's the perp walk. But the innocent until proven guilty thing has always kind of stuck in my mind with these perp walks and the mug shots being put out there. I've always kind of had a problem because what if, you know, what if somebody that's completely innocent? Yeah. It ends up being their mug shot shown everywhere or their perp walk. But then again, on the news, they show mug shots every night after a rest are made. But when you're talking about 11 year olds, 12 year olds, 13 year olds, I could see how people would have a serious problem with that. Yeah, because it's like your reputation has gone. You're an adult yet, right? So if it's incorrect, if they were to arrest you improperly. So a different tone, I guess you would say, but kind of the same message from Lawrence Batiste, he's the deputy director of the Mobile County Juvenile Court. That's where he is now. And he was talking about the same thing. And he's one doing it as boldly as the, I guess it was a sheriff in Florida. Yeah. Batiste says, well, the court's goal is to hold children accountable for their actions, such as calling in these threats and all prosecutors handle every case differently, he said. If a kid makes a threat, and when he or she makes that threat, there's not indication that that child has the ability to carry out that threat, then maybe it's a slap on the wrist approach. But if a kid makes that threat and he's got a gun when he makes that threat, then we take that particular threat more seriously, he explained. He also said a number of other things. He's worked with law enforcement for decades here in Mobile and he says he's witnessed the evolution of social media and the dangers that often accompany it. More than that, he says, the root cause is usually a lack of parental oversight. Thus, he's challenging parents to be more involved. Again, his language is a lot softer than the sheriff who says something out. I'm going to perp walk your ass too. That's what he was saying about his parents. Not quite the same style, but but he says, quote, his parents, there's a certain amount of responsibility that they are accountable for. God blessed them to have children. And so, they have to take care of that on that responsibility and role that says I care about my children and because I care about mine, I care about yours, he concluded. So, and then that's here in Mobile. In addition to that, when school shooters actually, you know, go through with it and usually results in tragedy, we've seen more often. I guess just these last couple of years. And I know Jeff Port talked about this quite a bit. At least two high profile instances. Ethan Crumbly, who did the shooting in Michigan. His parents were charged with, I believe, manslaughter among other charges. I think they both got 10 to 15 years, penalty for that. And then with this latest Appalachia school shooting in Georgia, and they charged the father there with actual murder. I think it may have been second degree murder for what his son did in the school. And you know, that's brought up a whole number of other conversations. But parents' responsibility. Right. And maybe that is a shot across the bow to parents. But also that's something that isn't being done across the board. Right? There's plenty of shootings that happen outside of schools involving juveniles. And I don't know how many parents we've seen charged with those. I don't think any. And you're talking about the everyday common occurrence. I've got to beef with so-and-so. I'm 16 years old. We all have guns. So at one point I'm going to shoot him. I'm going to shoot him to his car or anything like that. You're talking about parents being held responsible for incidents like that that are more common. Right. We haven't seen that. Right. We've seen these high profile shootings last couple anyway where they've done that. Don says, you know, Dan and Dalton, it's really sad that these children are ruining their future by not thinking about their actions and the consequences. On the other hand, you could possibly be stopping someone from committing murder by identifying this type of behavior early enough to force them to have therapy because they are not an adult yet. Gary says, yes, it's constitutional and no one said that they were guilty. They were just arrested. Brad says, the mug shots are now a website. Yeah, I know the Mobile County Sheriff's Office has the mug shots posted up there. I wasn't sure if they were still putting the newspaper edition out. Yeah, that was like a money maker. It was. Yeah. And Jason says, I love that Sheriff's comments. We've got to try something giving in to and coddling criminals isn't working. But I mean, this is an 11 year old. We're talking about here. That's kind of the different twist in this story. Perp walk in an 11 year old and there was another story where I don't know if you saw this and I can't remember if it was Arkansas or where this happened, but a student said he overheard another student in his class or school either joking or something about something similar to this. It was a bomb threat or a shooting or something like that. And this kid who overheard it was going into a test, I believe, and didn't report what this student said until after he finished his test. They ended up suspending him the same amount of time they suspended the kid who may allegedly made the threat. And the parents are upset. They said, well, you told him, you told every student here if they hear something, see something, say something, he did that. But you're punishing him on the same level as the person who made the threat just because he went in to do this test rather than come immediately to tell somebody. He wasn't timely enough. He wasn't timely enough. So they're going to punish him all that. And so this kid maybe walked into that classroom with two things on his mind, like I don't know if the other kids serious or not. I heard him say it, but to what degree did he believe was going to happen? And secondly, he sounds like he's concerned about taking the test. He wanted to make sure he performed well on the test. Or that he didn't miss it. And it's punished for missing the test. Don says, I think they should have metal detectors on the school buses as well. Pat says 11 or 99, still a criminal of a serious threat. I'm just wondering, you know, because these things are being so critically looked at now, pretty much every comment by students because of threats across the nation. And we know that kids like to joke, right? I mean, I've probably said an off-color joke or two in school in my time. Don't really know where that line is sometimes, especially when you're talking with your friends in school. So I guess in my weird way of picturing this, I'm seeing it's possible you have an 11 or 12 year old make a joke, which he thinks is harmless. Yeah. So kids, next thing you know, he's being arrested and then perp walk. Yeah. Well, I don't know. There's been arrests of children like six years old in first grade putting their, making their finger into the, like, an action of a gun. Right. Finger gun. And they actually would arrest the kid. That's happened in the past. Yeah. That's happened in the past. And so you wonder, okay, where exactly is the line? Also, this is a little bit off topic. But there was a, there was a touchdown scored by somebody over the weekend. And then he made the kind of a machine gun. Yeah. Rat-a-tat-tat. Like shooting up into the sky. I don't know where that collaboration comes from. And I, but it, it played a big role in the game. It's a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff. Yeah. I think that was the Monday night game, the Atlanta receiver that did that. And the head coach came out and said, he's a good kid. He was probably shooting a t-shirt gun into the stands. That was his kind of excuse for that. But then again, this sheriff Chipwood, who said he's going to start perp walking these, these juvenile suspects for these threats. With this case, that 11-year-old, they found a bunch of evidence that he had some weird stuff going on. So, really? Well, like I read there that he had this kill list. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stabbed out all of this and that. Yeah. So he did have reason to believe that this kid was up to something. Maybe, and maybe they use their discretion for who they perp walk. I would hope they would. And I also wonder if this sheriff's in a county where you are appointed or elected because this is kind of a publicity hound act a little bit too. So is this guy, is this exactly how he feels? He certainly came off like he was really peeved off about it. Use certain language to let you know that he was serious about it. But he might also be seriously trying to make sure people know exactly who he is. Last text here for this segment, Pat says, "So two nights ago I was going through my 12-year-old's text messages. A friend of his said, "Jokingly, boy, I know where you live and go to school, you die." He said, "I know they're friends. I know the boy was joking. I still called his dad and told him that's how you parent." Wow. Right, Pat. Good job. 821, Dan and Dalton. If I'm talking 106-5 in the morning, we will talk with Rob from Land Yap Mobile at the bottom of the hour. What's going on, y'all? 825, Dan and Dalton, FM talk 106-5. Tech Blind is humming 25-1-3-4-3-0-1-0-6. If you were to call us, you could do that two-by-two. We have limited time here going to grab Rob Holbert from Land Yap Mobile and get him on the line after 8-30. Yeah, we're talking about this recent increase in school threats and this Florida sheriff, Chipwood. He's saying he might, well, he will start perp walking some of these students who make these threats. Gardner says the punishment needs to be scary enough to change the justification of the perpetrator. Now that there are so many underage people committing crimes, the laws need to change as far as age and accountability so innocent victims can be protected. Yeah, what should the age be nowadays? You're right. I mean, you see so many crimes evolving, especially 16-17 year olds as well. Anger Patriots is Dalton. Imagine if 10 kids at every school called threats in every hour of every school day. This is a different generation and apps like TikTok would put them up to it. Children aren't getting disciplined, so they're going to have to learn the hard way. Another texture here. Baldwin County Police should monitor the red light abuse like Mobile did. You don't dare pull out when your light turns green. Sometimes two and three cars continue turning after their light turns red. Drivers need to be pulled over and ticketed. I will say that red light blitz that Mobile had, Mobile PD had these, they did Tuesday and Wednesday, so it ended yesterday, I guess. They didn't get you. You were running every red light, too. They didn't get me filming it. I was doing it for... TikTok Manoring. Yeah, so... But just on my drive home each afternoon to... Or take Cottage Hill. That Cottage Hill is really intersection. And two drives that I made through there. That's all three different people turned over. I assume for running red lights. One, they were catching up to yesterday. Yeah. We were getting a ticket. So I'm interested to see what those numbers were after these last two days where they focused on certain intersections. I didn't notice the... Or did I? Maybe I did. Maybe I did. I don't think that I noticed the police presence at certain intersections where I was trying to find out if they were there, just interested because we had the story. Yeah. And I also wanted to get to this. Maybe we can get to it more after Rob. But wasn't that long ago I played you some audio from Chuck Schumer from back in 2009. I loved it. Talking about securing the border and illegal immigration. This is going viral once again, just to show you how much things have changed in our domestic politics regarding the border. This was Bill Clinton back in 1996. The State of the Union talking about illegal aliens, illegal immigration, the border, and he gets a standing o. Just listen to this. This was 1996. All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use imposed burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes to better identify illegal aliens in the work face as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must do more to stop them. [Applause] I just find that amazing. It was the reality. For a long time, of course, you've had big corporations who want that cheap labor, so they don't have to pay the going rate for American labor. Now you have pretty much the whole of the Democrat party doing the opposite of what Bill Clinton was saying there in 1996. You also have the big corporations who still want that cheap labor. Pretty much just the party of Trump, the one's pushing back against it right now. So Clinton was speaking like Trump, basically. Yeah. It's 830, Dan and Dalton, Rob Hobart would land up on the way. [Music] Dan and Dalton have been talking about the '65 Mobile Morning. You may know us from, oh, I don't know, the Nappy Awards. That's right. Big fan. Big fans of the Nappy's here on Mobile Morning's and that's always a good party. Looking forward to the next one. You have to wait a while, though. It's almost a year away. Rob Hobart with land yap, landyapmobile.com joins us as he does every Thursday morning. Good morning, Rob. Good morning, guys. How are y'all doing? Doing just fine. I wanted to start by just saying that sorry for your loss. I know you lost your sister and that's from a big family. I get it. But it's a beautiful, beautiful piece in land yap that you wrote about her. So job well done. Thank you, Dan. I appreciate it. Yeah, man. Rob, a lot in this week's issue just like every week. You guys are staying on top of it. The cover story. Something that we've been discussing for a while now. And funds finally kind of trickling down to maybe where they can do some good work. Opioid settlement funds. And the city of Mobile, basically, and there's been this conversation for months in the city council. And the funds will be going to, and I lose the name of the group right here, but they will be kind of in charge of looking at applications from folks who are looking for some of those funds to help fight the opioid abuse and put it to good work. Yeah, so Dale this week. Dale Leach wrote a piece. And what do you do? He highlighted a couple of maybe some lesser known entities that are helping folks who have addictions, and it's interesting to see that there are, you know, we all have heard of lots of different groups, Bradford, et cetera. You know, there's lots of recovery even to some extent that is obviously focused on veterans. But the, you know, there are other groups in town that are working on this issue. I mean, it is a massive issue. And so with this kind of money coming into the pipeline, there's a lot of allocation issues to work out and who's going to get what. Obviously, you know, when it comes to mental health and, you know, in this state and these types of things, you know, some of the big names tend to scoop up a lot of the money, you know, all the point, and Bradford, people like that, they tend to get a lot of the money. But there are a lot of organizations that are much smaller and, you know, even smaller grants for those would go a long way to helping people. Yeah, and this opioid settlement, so I know AG Steve Marshall talked a lot about that. And it's kind of, you know, I get so upset by this whole thing. Now, you have certain players who really will never be held fully accountable for their role in the opioid crisis and the hundreds of thousands of people. I mean, you think of the Sackler family and even though they're paying out billions of dollars, still almost seems like a slap in the wrist for the carnage that they created across the country. And then when you move, start moving those funds and you just know there are certain bad actors out there who are looking to make a buck rather than really put the opioid settlement funds to a good use. And I'm hoping that the city council and then this helios alliance who is going to be distributing this $2.2 million in the city's funds, I know they're aware of that. Hopefully they, and they say they're using computer modeling according to Dale's story to determine where to put these funds. But I'm just hoping that it ends up being put to good use. Well, you know, as we always know that any time there's a big lot of money and it's a lot more than, you know, it's just the city's $2 million, but there's a lot of money coming into the state. You know, any time that there's that kind of money handed out, there's going to be some issue somewhere, somebody's going to do something with it. They're not supposed to do. You know, but we, one of the issues too, you know, and it goes back to what we've written about a few weeks with regard to the veterans and state veterans administration, you know, how much of this money is going to come into taking care of addicted veterans. We have, that's a very high percentage of the opioid crisis. I mean, there's sort of a group that is overly represented among those who have opioid addictions. Thus far, we're not seeing any of that kind of money coming into taking care of veterans as much. So that's an area to watch for. But it is, it is a matter of also just seeing where it goes in terms of does it come, is it going to be spread around to help a lot of different groups or is it just going to be end up in the hands of the same people that, you know, everything ends up then. So, you know, you have a lot of those issues that have to be worked out and then take it something to really keep an eye on for everybody. That was maybe part of this was at the heart of, of Governor Ivey and the head of the VA and then Kilpatrick. Yeah, running into, you know, with that feud started and we saw kind of quietly end subtly with the veterans authority that the director stepping, stepping away. Well, not just yet. He will in, in, in January. Well, maybe. Yeah, he's going to leave, but, you know, that, that whole issue still is, is really kind of troubling and it's, you know, you wonder, I mean, I, I still wonder why that the, you know, the state board of mental health and the governor's office are, you know, particularly why the governor's office is so, you know, coming down on, on Johnson Patrick and, you know, who's running vets recovery. I mean, that's a real boon to our community and I don't know what, you know, why all of a sudden that, that's such a big issue. Well, it felt personal. It felt personal. It, it does. I mean, you know, it's, I, I get it if they're, you know, the question of whether the veterans' administration, whether the, whether Kent Davis, who was running the, you know, the commissioner of the veteran's administration, you know, the governor's office trying to claim that he mismanaged money, which it's hard. I don't really see where that happened, but, you know, that's their claim, but why, why these ancillary attack on, on Kilpatrick and, and that's recovery as well. It makes no sense to me. Well, let's go from that controversy to a, another controversial subject and head of a state department, John Cooper. And, yeah, the aldot director, department of transportation, his criminal trial, I guess it, it won't move forward. The neighbor there in Marshall County, who tried to bring those charges ended up dropping the charges. And the, the judge agreed. So I think I saw one headline. I can't remember who had it, but they wrote John Cooper vindicated. I don't know if it goes that far. That would be yellow hammer that, yellow hammer that wrote that. Okay. But take it for what it's worth. You know, I mean, I guess if Alabama power one of that written, then that's probably what. But, you know, this was, this story and the quotes that the neighbor said that Cooper allegedly said, I think my, my favorite line. And, you know, if the, if the neighbor made these up and good on him. Yeah. He's very creative. He said Cooper said, if you touch that fence, I'm going to bury you so far under the jail. You'll have to smart to, you'll have to fart to breathe fresh air or something like that. Yeah, that was, that was the famous quote from all of that, which, it's, you know, it's not exactly like something that should be in a Clint Eastwood movie, but it's great. It sounds like something that a, that a rarely riled up Jed Clampen would say to him. Right. Yeah. Adam Beverly Hills, you know. Hey, you don't. That one's, yeah, that's definitely coming from somewhere in the backwoods. I mean, that, that sort of threat. I feel like that threat's been issued before. You know, that's not one. That's not one that just came up. Like he put it together at that moment. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's that, Rob? I said, you know, it's, I mean, it's one of those things. Again, you know, how long ago did this happen two years ago? Yeah. June of 2023 is when Cooper turned himself into police. Okay. So it's, you know, over a year. And I mean, it's, it just, these things go on and on and on. And I think eventually people just get born out with it. And, you know, that's, that's a part of a process, I guess. It's just the delay on, on this kind of stuff that, um, yeah, I don't know whether that's necessarily vindicated. I would say that he, somebody dropped the case against him, but it didn't necessarily mean it didn't happen. But, you know, he's the head of the department of transportation. So there you go. Yeah. I'm just picturing and practicing that line in the mirror. You know, trying to perfect it. It's a, it's a lot to say. In a heated moment, there's, there's a lot of moving parts there. You could really screw up, you know, it's. Also, Rob, I have to say we have listeners who are, um, very excited that, uh, land nap is taking a look at hearing aids. And, uh, we had the state legislature pass a bill this past session. I believe it was the past session that goes into effect at the beginning of next month where state tax will be taken off of hearing aids. And, uh, you know, I come from a, a long line of hearing aid wearers. Well, I guess I don't know if two people was a long line, but, uh, it's kind of a short, you come from a short line. You really have to go to the bathroom. It's a long line. Yeah. So, uh, but, uh, these taxes, I mean, because hearing aids are so expensive, uh, the tax takes up, uh, pretty good chunk out of the wallet as well. Municipal, municipality taxes aren't immediately taken out with the state taxes, but some are moving towards doing that. I know Mobile has talked about potentially doing that. It seems like Mayor Stimson's on board. Um, some of the research that Kyle Hamrick has done, uh, it doesn't really load up city and state coffers these hearing aid taxes, but it could help some citizens to take those off. Yeah. I will say this is that, you know, in our business in journalism, you do stories all the time that nothing happens or it takes forever for something to happen. I don't know that I've ever seen a story where things happened as quickly after the story was published as this. You know, Kyle, we had a gentleman call and, and say, Hey, this is going on. Would you guys look into it? Kyle did a story and I mean, two days later, Locksley, uh, dropped its taxes. Baldwin County's talking about it. Now Mobile's talking about it. So, um, it happened really quickly. So, uh, there's, there's journalism at work for you. Yeah. So, it's, uh, every now and then you get one of those things where you're like, wow, that, uh, actually made a difference. It's nice. It's been fun for us to see some of our listeners' names in Land Yap and, uh, in the news, I know, uh, uh, Dink Stevens, he helped push that bill from Marginal Cox and, uh, and then Chris from Orange Beach. He's been on this beat for a long time pushing, uh, and trying to get the names out there or get, get this story out there. And commenting on anything we got on this station. Yeah, it's exactly right. They correspond with us all the time. So, uh, good on Land Yap and you're right. Uh, these, watching this move so quickly, uh, it makes you wish that some of these things that are problems that are being uncovered by Land Yap that they'd act just as quickly on those. Yeah, it's nice to see. I mean, it's, it's a good thing. And I mean, I think, you know, it's from the standpoint of the, of the local government, it's not a tremendous amount of money. And it, it is something that certainly people who, these hearing aids are extremely expensive. I mean, some of them are, I mean, they're thousands and thousands of dollars. Some of them are, you know, $10,000. They're very expensive. So, um, you know, 10% tax is a lot of money. Uh, even 4% tax is a lot of money for folks. So, it's a, it's a good thing for them to look at this and, you know. It's just when government doesn't necessarily need all that money. Finished with this. A crucial public service void has been filled in the city of Mobile. We went a long time with, uh, with, without a, an actual police, uh, chief chief. Yeah. And now, uh, Jackson has been named and I, you know, a city this size. That's kind of a public service concern. Well, yeah, it's good to have, uh, have him named. I mean, if they're, for his, his standpoint, you know, running the police department, if you're in limbo, you're kind of an interim. Right. You don't have all the, you know, you don't have the authority maybe to make certain decisions or, you know, nobody knows what's going to happen or who's going to be in charge or somebody else is coming in. So, um, they like him. They like what he's been doing and they want to keep him. And I think that, uh, it's good for him to, to get the, get the title officially and get the job officially and we'll have to see where he goes with that. Yeah. I think it's good for the citizens. It's just good for the city to have it kind of, you know, no matter what your thoughts on the prime thing are, well, now we do have a guy in charge. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think so. You know, when they're out there, we're focusing in on, uh, on running red lights right now. Yeah. See how that works. You know, I don't, I'm, I'm a little, we'll see how it goes. But I'm a little concerned that, you know, we're basically saying we're going to do two days of this. And like, I don't know if that's going to stop two days, two days worth of it. But we'll see what happens. Well, I think it's been a failure because they had this entire drag net and they didn't get me once. Yeah. I know. I mean, you're always writing it through red lights. I see it. Every day. Uh, well, Rob from the interim, uh, morning show here on FM talk one of six, five mobile cameras. Get that permanent role here soon.

Fire dog texting in my last pair of hearing aids were $12,000. Oh gosh. Saw these latest Apple AirPods, you know, the wireless headphones they have. All right. We're FDA declared them hearing aids. So I don't know how well those work or not. They're certainly a lot less expensive than $12,000. But, uh, a lot bulkier and easier to see than some of those hearing aids as well. It is, uh, 849.

I'm going to remind you that, uh, this week is Child Passenger Safety Week nationwide. Car crashes are a leading cause of death for children under the age of 14, actually, um, and more than a third of children in 2022 who died while riding in passenger vehicles were unrestrained. It's hard to believe that's still happening in this day and age, but it is. And, uh, many of those deaths preventable, even though many of those tragedies are not. Some tips here for Child Passenger Safety Week. Of course, you want the right car seat for your child based on their age and size and you want to install that car seat correctly. There's plenty of guides, um, they come with the manuals and also online and, uh, if you're still having trouble, you can take it to a local hospital or, uh, law enforcement and I'm sure they'd be glad to help. Also, make sure you register your car seat and sign up for recalls. You'll know if there's anything wrong with the product. Tobias and Comer Law, you can check them out online to biascomerlaw.com.

This is what does one say in the rolling hills of Kentucky when you find the body of a dead fugitive? Um, well, what would you say? Do you know what you would say? I would, I would be, first of all, I have no idea where that body, you know, I wouldn't want to come across the body of anybody that's been out in the woods for a while and probably shot himself. So I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to, uh, even have those circumstances come up in my life, but when they did, it was kind of interesting. Yeah. So remember this guy, uh, he opened fire, he was on a cliff in Kentucky, opened fire on I-75 and wounded five people. So fortunate. No one was killed during that, uh, shooting spree. He went missing for 11 days and we talked about this a good week, week and a half ago, and then it kind of got missing from the, uh, from the headlines. Well, uh, a couple found Joseph Couch's body yesterday and, uh, here's what, uh, here's what it sounded like. Oh. Oh. Got him. Here he is! You found him? Oh, my lanta. I'm coming. Oh, my lanta. You found him? Oh, my lanta. Oh, my lanta. You found him. Oh, my lanta. Oh, my lanta. This lady is so sweet. Oh, my lanta. Oh, sticker bars. Yeah. I mean, oh, my lanta. Yeah. It's, uh, it's, I don't know if anyone's, I guess I can't say no one says that anymore. I don't remember that was the thing. Obviously you're, you're, you're, you're trying not to curse. You're trying to take the Lord's name in vain. Yeah. So instead of saying, oh, my gosh, or God, or whatever, or Lord, whatever, uh, so my lanta is some sort of a pharmaceutical, right? Yeah. Well, I think yeah. Some stomach medicine or something like that, but, uh, it may be indigestion or something, but yeah, that's what it is. I love this as a broadcaster. She kept it clean so that we could play that. Yeah. Yeah. I came up with, you know, my, my daughter the other day dropped the, oh, my G.O.D. Right. I was like, you can't be saying that. And you're going to get in trouble at school. We can't take the Lord's name in vain. Why don't you say, Oh, my gosh, she goes, okay. What does that mean? I went, uh, guess it's just another way to say it. And she's like, yeah, exactly. My point. Florida state would always say dad gummy dad gummy, you know, staying away from saying the bad stuff. Philip Rivers was really good at that too. Avoiding bad words. Jeff for on the way. Congressman Adderholt, April Marie Fogle, and Congressman Barry Moore joined Jeff to
