Pagers exploding - April Marie Fogel - Midday Mobile - Tuesday 9-17-24
"There will be no personal nor direct attacks on anyone, and I would ask that you please try to, um, 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." "For 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 FM Talk 106-5." "Well, Sean's a tough 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 deal we got?" "I mean, the deal we got, pretty good, don't it?" "Did you hear what I said?" "So this is a Bade Council. I had no doubt about him." "That doesn't suck. If you don't like it, you're bad." "Last question. Were you high on drugs?" "Last question. Kiss my ****." All right. Here we go, FM Talk 106-5 at Midday Mobile.

You just go to the front page there on the app, see the microphone icon, if you'll press that, let's you record the message and it stops and then it sends, like an email. And we can play it back here on the show. So check those out as well. And coming up, April, April, April, later on in the show, also today, Constitution Day. So we got a lot to talk about with the Constitution. And yes, we will talk about the story that dominates some of the conversation around here. I'll call this story, "Paging Mr. Hamas, Paging Mr. Hamas, Paging Mr. Hamas, the Hamas pager story." Well, no, Hezbollah, Paging Mr. Hezbollah, sorry, it was not Mr. Hamas, it was Paging Mr. Hezbollah. I used to carry your pigeons. Well, it goes up. I just, when I heard the story, we'll get to that. I, of course, I've thought about the Paging Mr. Hezbollah, and then I also thought about the emblematic, today was a good day from Ice Cube, which is one of the bumps here on this show, and thinking about halfway home, and my pagers still blowing up when Ice Cube said that. I don't think he meant actually exploding. Oh, a little rule. It was the fly girly's that were paging him, right? It was not the actual explosion, so we will get in that. Jeff Moore. The fly girly's. Yes, this is like what your pager must be like. Back in the old days, man, the pager, and still getting the fly girly's. Yeah, I just don't have the pager. I have the fly girly's, I just don't have the pager. Maybe I'll go back to pager. I remember it was a big deal when I got, and I thought this is how much I was a sucker, so I started working in radio, I was probably 18, 19 years old, working at the college station, then got picked up by the commercial station, and probably a year into it, they said, "Hey, we're going to give you a pager." And I was like, "Oh, man, I think I even called home and told mom and dad." I was getting a pager. That was before I had cell phone or anything, so I thought it was a big deal because I had a pager. It's kind of silly now, though, doesn't it? It does, but what it was was it took me about two or three months to get my big head about it, realized it was electronic leash. It was the pager would go off, and then it had to make a call, and they'd be like, "Oh, you got to go out to Gordo or Carrollton, Alabama to work on the transmitter," or, "Oh, we need you to go do an extra car dealership promote this afternoon," or, "When I first got the pager, you couldn't tell me nothing, man." So I got one for Christmas, and the coolest thing that it did is you could send a short text message to it, but no one, I was not important enough to be paged. I thought it was cool at first, but the only pages I got were from work at the Grant Radio Group. My mom and dad, if it went off, I had to leave what I was doing, doing a keg stand somewhere at a party in Tuscaloosa, and I had to leave and go do work stuff at the radio station because now I had a pager, and I was on call. Yeah, I don't know why. At the up my rate, I think I was making, I think I got $6 an hour for doing that. My mom is listening. Why didn't you buy me a pager for Christmas? Well, yours did not ever blow up, though, did it? No, I remember, I could see it, it was a sprint pager, and I don't understand why it would be that important. You could just leave on the voicemail, or answer machine at the time. The answering machine. Well, I don't know. Bond was, because I wouldn't ever home. I think that's what the bosses there at the Grant Radio Group wanted to make sure I was because I went home, and then we got the big bag phones, but those are different stories. But what we're talking about, y'all, if you didn't hear this breaking today, at least eight people killed and 2,750 others, including Hezbollah fighters, medics, and Iran's envoy to Beirut, were wounded today when the pagers they used to communicate, exploded across Lebanon. Security forces, security sources, and Lebanese health minister said that. Lebanon's Information Minister, Zayed Makari, said the government condemned the detonation of the pagers as Israeli aggression, Hezbollah also blamed Israel for the pager blast and said it would receive its fair punishment, you know, the regular stuff there. Israeli military declined to comment about the detonations, a Hezbollah official speaking out of the condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the biggest security breach the group had been subjected to in nearly a year in their conflict with Israel. It's pretty creative, man. Pretty creative. And the, you know, Dalton was talking to us here during the news that some people theorizing they were hacked. I think probably, somehow, Masada, whatever did, whatever they had to do to the pagers beforehand and somehow got them into the chain to be sold and Hezbollah gets them. Everybody's. What do you think Ricky thinks of this? I don't know. We try. I don't really care. It's like, I'm still kind of amazed that in modern warfare that the pager would play a role. I think they're going low tech because it's, you know, you can get harder, the track, whatever it is, Pegasus or whatever the program's hard to hack any phone. Yeah. I mean, if you're not using signal or hanglighters in, uh, October last year when they staged that attack. So. Well, you can use, I mean, we've talked about this in the, in the actual battlefield weapons that as our country would go shoot down a drone that the Houthis may have 25 grand in of Iranian money, uh, and we use a million dollar missile to shoot it down. It's a bad ratio there. And so much of the warfare, even though it's using technology like drones is going lower tech, right? And the bigger tech, you know, is, I mean, look what the Ukrainians have done with their, their somewhat submersible drones, right? And taking out very expensive assets in the Black Sea fleet for Russia. On the flip side, I think the higher tech email, smartphones and all that are probably easier to hack than a pager. And that's probably why they went pager in it. Isn't it weird though to think like, as well, it gets a page like, Oh, go attack, you know, go attack, uh, Israeli encampment that at five this afternoon, it's, it's a Star Wars episode, uh, three or whatever, execute order 66, what they did, except this time it was explosions. So there's, yeah, we will, uh, we'll get into the story later on in the show, uh, it kept you over for a couple of things, number one, yes, to ask you, did Baron Coleman off air to give you any talk, uh, stock tips, no, uh, y'all didn't hear him earlier. So Baron Coleman's been on with Jeff a couple of times and absolutely straight up, I, when he said what he said, I remember did exactly the same way. He said that they're going to, uh, try to take out Trump violently, kill him on your show. I was like, no way. You know what I mean? Like, all right. I don't believe that, but the secret service is two on their game and, and, and this is like, Sean, like, I, I thought the same thing is, you bet around these presidential campaigns and just knowing like how much of a hassle it is to get through security and deal with the secret service. And it was like, yeah, they snuffed that out pretty quick. Well, and you, and you mentioned what it was like. I mean, just, I didn't go to, you know, I just went to two. You've gone to hundreds of these events where you have to get there so early. They do a sweep and they do all these things. So then, then Butler, Pennsylvania happens and like Holy cow, this really happened, but I really didn't think right then about what, what Barrett had said. And then he comes back on and says, they're going to try to keep doing it again, I think till they're successful. And I mean, sure a second, I get it that somebody else now was going to try, uh, to do that. It was, yeah. So if he's got a, uh, got any other stock tips or anything, let me know. I'll be interested in, uh, well, I mean, he's like Donald Trump will never be president again. Um, I don't know. I'm not there with him, but, uh, if he turns out to be right and I, I, you know, we got to stop doubting him, I guess, I, he also said, I, I, I do disagree. So then we'll talk about this on this constitution day. I, I do disagree that he said that if they are successful, that there won't be much turmoil from the right on it. I think he's inaccurate there and I think it's, I think people across the country, if something like that happens, you might even see movement from fair-minded Democrats and, and independence. I think I don't know. I mean, I don't know what today after looks like and we ought to be like the least kind of thinking about this. Um, I, I do think there will be something, but how widespread will it be? I mean, will it be like summer BLM or will, you know, is it tea party 2.0? Like we, I don't know the how people will be, but hopefully we don't have to, don't have to deal with that, but, but I mean, it's, it's at least, it's at least important to consider. I would think it's, uh, and with, with this happening, the, the questions about the increased security for Trump, obviously that's the easiest stuff to talk about. Of course they should have. And of course they should now do that. Um, it does make me want to ask you from your political mind, the movement here, is it like you said this before, if something happens all the time, then it just loses impact. It's strange to think that that could be assassination attempts. But does this have less currying of favor for Trump than the first one did? You know, do you have, because you pulled out, they didn't pull, they didn't pull, uh, Joe and Mika off on this one. No, but I, I'm not like, I don't think that this, how long is it until somebody, if they keep going in this direction, how long will it be until somebody try on the Republican side or server side or whatever goes after the Democrat goes after a Democrat goes after Tim Walts or Kamala Harris. I hope they don't. That's, I hope they don't. Let's see. Greg, and just got to get out of here, but Gary's been holding on. Uh, let's go to Gary wants to, Gary, you want to talk pagers is what you got. Yeah. Just good morning. When you talk about pagers blowing up and reminded me, uh, are you, have you ever heard of the comedian Roy D. Mercer? Yes. Yes. Anyway, he had, he had some real funny stuff and I, and I've got a lease on the number of farms in Kansas and in a tradition each year when we ride out, we listen to Roy D. Mercer's, uh, uh, stories which, you know, are, are hilarious. One of his wife's name, if I remember right, Nandene, but anyway, one of his funny stories is the pager that blows up on Nandene's hip. Anyway, I'll, I'll leave you with that. But if you've never, if you, if you buy Googles Roy D. Mercer, they, they can listen to his different stories and they're, they're hilarious. Yes. And, uh, it's Americana there. Yeah. They're hearing those on cassette tape. People had recorded them and they, they passed them around, uh, like, like they had some kind of, uh, you know, some kind of secret files are like, dude, here, listen to this. Yeah. I've still got the most CDs with them. There you go. But anyway, I just want to mention that because one of his best ones is on about the pagers that blew up on Nandene's hip. Okay. Well, I will, I'll tell you what, I appreciate the call Gary. I'm going to have to, you know, join a break there, go YouTube that in here. I have a thought about Roy D. Mercer at a long time. It's been a while. You did, but you, you, you seem to agree that you got it too that used to be on like somebody to have an old TDK tape and like, dude, yeah, be like, we sit around, uh, in the old, uh, the old ramshackle house in Tuscaloosa and listen to these things like, but he just ran around in our car going somewhere in high school. I remember Roy Dhurst, Mercer, James Gregory, like, uh, there were a bunch of them. You're kind of these old, like, Southern-ish, uh, culturally Southern. I'm trying to remember the guy and it's just before like this is kind of a pre-ish, Jeff Foxworthy. Yeah. And the guy I'm thinking about, uh, there's another guy ever, it's, I'll come up with his name at some point was from like the Knoxville area. Yeah. And he, there's a famous one where he calls a Tom McCann shoe store and tell somebody he's going to come up there and whip their butt. Yeah, there was like a old radio, uh, down the dial, uh, gig, remember, he would go on their show. Yeah. And I think the story, if I remember correctly, the guy was like dying of terminal cancer. So for fun, I mean, he was in his house for like two years down the cancer, so he just prank called everybody around East Tennessee and, uh, and made it that way. Jeff, I appreciate you holding over, uh, for us. If people want to, uh, uh, you're going to Tuscaloosa, I don't want to out completely, but if people want to, uh, like go on social media and tell you what you should get at Tococasso. Would that be something you would enjoy or, um, tell you what, uh, the text me on the program tomorrow. So, so a lot of shots listeners don't listen to my show, but if you're, if you're listening to this show right now, and you're like, who is that guy? I don't know. I don't know you. I'm on nine to noon. Come, come check it out and, uh, see how irritated you could make me by just a simple text. It is Tococasso, Tococasso, Tococasso. You could talk about Tococasso. Yeah. Um, and that would probably be very triggering. All right. So there you go. There's the Reheated Hungry Man special, the Mexican version. Yeah. I mean, you could go get it Tococasso. Yeah. It wasn't a long drive to drag him into that. Jeff, thanks for being on Hey, they're traveling in. You're listening to midday mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM talk 1065 call Sean now at three four three zero one oh six four oh six five five five five five five five five five five five five five five five. Hey, Boogie Boogie, here we go, text line, phone line, same phone number three four three zero one zero six three four three zero one zero six. Uh, don't have a page, uh, pager for you to get through. Those were the old days. I was such a sucker for 19, for 19 years old, I'd say eight to 18 or 19, I started 17 years old University of Alabama. So yeah, so I was 18 or 19 years old get, I got the pager and Lord, you could tell me nothing. It was big time and it was just the electronic leisure like, Hey, this boy will work right here. We can get him to work at all hours and it took me months ago. Hey, this thing is in this cool as I thought it was from the text line here, a fire dog says, uh, let's see, I had a sprint pager early on in my Air Force career. So fire dog, did you have that moment where you thought it was cool when you first got it and then, or did you already know it was going to be a, be like trying to tether back then, uh, Monty love it somewhere in an old hardwood bottom in Perry County at the Plantation Hunters Club is a green and black Motorola pager that's been lying there since 1996. Now, Monty, did you drop it or do you sling it? Did it go? Did the pager go off while you're hunting and you've, or did you drop it? Tell me, tell me what happened there. Uh, let's see, this, uh, Texas said, good show, Jeff. I've always listened to you on everybody else's show, but never here. Now I'm tuned in. Good. That said, what about Willie P. Richardson? I don't, I have to go back and sort out all these people that did the prank calls back then. It was pretty, pretty popular, pretty popular in the 80s and 90s. That's what, remember our program directors and I've, my first morning show I did with the guy who's now the assistant district attorney in Canola County, West Virginia. Dave Bishop, one of the finest human beings I know, uh, he, he and I would, uh, get our program director to say what you think about doing some prank calls and then we lay out what we want to do. He said, no, you can't do that. That'll get us in trouble. And like what the program director thought would be a good prank call was just done and we wouldn't do it. Uh, let's see. Yeah. Vince says, I remember one of his prank calls, he said, I'll knock your T so far down your throat, you'll have to drop your pants to chew your food. Uh, let's see, uh, yeah, so some more suggested, listen, we ought to like pull these all together in one, but there should be a repository, right? That's a fan. There's my fancy word today or repository for all the old, uh, prank callers out there. All right. It is. And when we come back here, we're going to do some, you know what I like to talk about Constitution, talk about a bunch here, Constitution Day is today commemorates the formation and signing of the Constitution by the 39 back on September 17th, 1787, recognizing all who were born in the United States for by naturalization have become citizens. Think, and we talk about it, I can play some drum and fife behind it and do like one of these shows, it gets real emotional and read the words and maybe I've done that on occasion or two, um, but y'all know they've been listening a long time. I'm way more interested in the Constitution, way more interested in the rule of law than the individuals running for office. It's one of the things I've, you have to drag me kicking and screaming into a populist melee because I'm a, I'm into the paper, I'm into the words they were put down here. I would say though, I mean, as a fan, those 39, I'm a fan, boy of the 39, um, to put the Constitution together and think about we talk now about how they're so, so and so so brave. They're so brave, whatever they do, they, they went out and did so. They're so brave. Look at the bravery. These guys had stones because it's not like, if Vegas would have been around back then, the odds of them pulling this off against the superpower of all superpowers would have been horrible. I mean, it's not like they said, it's probably a jump ball. We might be able to win this thing, right? The odds were they were not going to win this thing. And so for these folks that had something to lose as well to risk it, it, it, it harkens back to people, we think about that, uh, risk things to do big things, right? It's not like there's somebody that has nothing to lose and they stepped up and when they signed that thing, you kind of signed your death warrant in a way. And so I think it's worth, uh, worth talking about it. We will when we come back because I, I believe that constitution is way more important than any of the people, the names, the human beings that we talk about today's political cycle. You know what? We may take it old school. That's what we're going to do. We're going to talk about the constitution in a way that will be relatable for people in our 40s, 50s, and 60s. You'll, you'll know what I'm talking about when we come back right here on Midday Mobile. This is Midday Mobile with Sean Sullivan on FMTalk 1065. Yeah, David, I'm sorry, you're correct, but I should point out they would say that I was talking about declaration of independence. Yes, but it was the names on those documents right that there were the death warrants. Those folks had a reason to be on, and the fact that they could disagree and still come to a document, right? So declaration of independence. Here we go. Right. You put your name down, uh, you know, we go the, uh, the, the, the gravity of that situation, right? And then those men coming back when we put together the actual constitution, can you imagine getting in today's world with the ways things are pulled, getting that made people to agree. They had disagreements, but having negotiations to be able to get the constitution signed. I mean, there were, we get this, I guess in school, there's this idea, maybe just old, old school school that they all kind of walked in there and say, yeah, we all agree on this thing. This looks good. They were many, this is the first of negotiation. This is what we look at in our, what we used to in our legislative body and people like, ah, they're, you know, they're, they're negotiating and it's going to be bad for us. This document, the constitution was not without disagreements, edits and all those things. So they, they actually got the 39 to agree to sign this. Let's do this. I'm going to do a little, uh, education here on the constitution. I figured what better place to go. And if you're like me, a child of the eighties or for child's children of the seventies, and maybe maybe the nineties, these still ran, I don't know, uh, schoolhouse rock, of course, the most famous, I'm a bill on Capitol Hill. We all know that, but schoolhouse rock and their explanation and maybe because they say in politics, you're supposed to campaign to a eighth grade level education. You've heard that before. Right. Uh, they do that in ads. They do that in, in, in, in rhetoric out there. Uh, so maybe this is a perfect here for we, the people instead of having a heavy talk about the constitution. Let's have cartoon characters tell us about it. Hey, do you know about the USA, do you know about the government? Can you tell me about the constitution, hey, learn about the USA. In 1787, I'm told our founding fathers did agree to write a list of principles of keeping people free. The USA was just starting out at a whole brand new country, and so our people spelled it out the whole things that we should be, and they put those principles down on paper and called it the Constitution, and it's been helping us run our country ever since then. The first part of the Constitution is called the preamble and tells what those founding fathers set out to do. We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty, to ourselves and our posterity, to ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America in 1787, I'm told our founding fathers all sat down and wrote a list of principles that's known in the world around. The USA was just starting out at a whole brand new country, and so our people spelled it out, they wanted land of liberty, and the preamble goes like this. We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty, to ourselves and our posterity, to ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America, for the United States of America. There you go, so Schoolhouse Rock, and I don't know how long YouTube will let this be on, maybe it's going to be misinformation, disinformation, maybe the administration will call and say listen, we're not saying you have to take down the Schoolhouse Rock Constitution cartoon, but we just want to make you aware it's up there. Think about this, it's been what? Two weeks ago, I think, not even, maybe, yeah, maybe it's two weeks, today's the, yeah, so about two weeks ago that New York Times op ed comes out, right? Jennifer Soleil, I think is her name, that wrote it, and obviously it gets attention because of what she says, but I don't know that she doesn't believe it, the book critic there at the New York Times wrote this op ed and said that the Constitution is dangerous. Constitution is one of the biggest threats to the country, actually, I think she said in there the biggest threat to ordination was the founding document. A quote from that, she said, Americans have long assumed the Constitution could save us a growing course now wonders whether we need to be saved from it. The document that's supposed to be a bulwark against authoritarianism can end up fostering the widespread cynicism that helps authoritarianism grow. Okay, so Jennifer Soleil, she said, we'll come back to some quotes from there, what exactly does she want? Because people say, you know, we're a democracy and we correct on this show and say, a Constitution Republic, if the Constitution that gives us a checkpoint, it gives us a baseline, which we talk about that on the show a lot, that sometimes you get decisions you don't like, but they're constitutional and it's a good thing because the Constitution draws back out how far have we wavered from it, I would say quite a distance. But to have at least something grounded, some baseline to look back at, you can see how far you've moved one way. So somebody like Salazar and others that think the Constitution is this bad thing, this anti-democratic, what would you have the baseline be? Here's another quote here from the op-ed of New York Times, I think this came out maybe Labor Day weekend, something like that. So here we go, Salazar says that Trump owes his political assent to the Constitution. So therefore because of her unbridled hate, her unbridled dislike of Trump, anything that would benefit Trump must be bad. So you're right. Trump owes his political assent to the Constitution, making him a beneficiary of the document that essentially is essentially anti-democratic and because we're not a democracy, Jen, that is essentially anti-democratic and in this day and age, increasingly dysfunctional. She goes on to say after all, Trump became president in 2016 after losing the popular vote, but winning the electoral, electoral college, he appointed, so that bothers her because that's laid out the Constitution. But he appointed three justices to the Supreme Court, article three, two of whom were confirmed by Senators representing 44% of the population, article one, and those three justices helped overturn Roe versus Wade, a reversal which most Americans, with which most Americans disagreed and quote. So this idea that the Constitution is bad because you didn't get the result you wanted and I've said this to people on the right too, when a decision comes out and you're like, well, it should be this way and it's like, well, that's unconstitutional. We dealt with a lot of this post-9/11, right, and there were these people on the fringe like me saying I'm all for the security of our nation, but not at the cost of the liberty of the citizens. It's now become more popular to have that opinion. But so she doesn't like the outcome because the rules of the Constitution, she said that's why Trump won because of the Electoral College. So therefore, in her mind, the Constitution is dangerous. She says this in that New York Times piece and he can look it up, although you have to go through the paywall there, but there's I think it's posted other places online. She says one of the biggest threats to America's politics might be the country's founding document. Well, I'm way more into the founding document than I am to America's politics. There has to be a baseline. If you want to change it, then do it, do it in the process laid out. But to say that the Constitution has got to go because you're not getting the outcome you want. And this person is put up as a op-ed big hub hub over at the New York Times. And there are probably people that did agree with her greatly on this and scary. We have got to even when it doesn't do what you want it to do, the baseline of the Constitution is what makes us different than so many other countries. And I understand the popularity of populism. I get it, but they're just because you want it, just because you think it's right. But the Constitution doesn't agree with you doesn't mean it's dangerous for our country. It is actually what is not dangerous for our country. All right, grab some of your text on this. A fire dog said he just, I said, I just sang along with that dang. You'll remember 35 years later, schoolhouse rock is maybe one day people will be trying to figure out this system and it'll come back as like the Dead Sea Scrolls. It'll be like, what were they talking about this Constitution thing? It'll be like, man, we have found in an old hard drive somewhere, these things called schoolhouse rock and maybe it'll be a great epiphany and a change in our nation. Thank you. Textures showing me the We The People tattoo that I dig the most. I am not a tattoo guy, but if I was, but I know you, I don't know if I copy yours, but something like that is pretty cool. If I got a tattoo, if I often said I won't get a tattoo because I don't know what I'm going to feel like about a subject in the future about that, sure of what the Constitution, I think I'd be good on that. If I was going to get a tattoo, it would be something constitutional because I, my opinion of that has never, never wavered there. So maybe that is the right one. Let's see, Larry in Daphne, oh, he says Larry previously from Daphne. He was born in 1990. He said, I remember the song and I still have the jingle of the preamble stuck in my head whenever I read it. See, they did some good schoolhouse rock did some good, I think. Everything of all unnamed textures, maybe the Constitution needs to rhyme possibly that the, the signers there should have said, listen, after we get all these, these parts in here and how the government's going to work and how the system is, maybe we should try to get it in Iambic pentameter. Joshua says, if you're going to play a schoolhouse rock, it needs to be Saturday morning and I need a bowl full of life cereal with too much sugar or lucky charms. So if you ask, remember those days, yeah, I mean, I'm not trying to, the temptation of sitting around here, all of us going, remember when, you know, you do that to cows come home and they never come home. But there was something about, you know, you're talking about how when there were three networks, people watched all the debates and paid more attention to different things in politics. We do have at least in my generation and back the commonality of I can, because y'all come up with movies I've never seen, I'll never see books I've never read or never read, different will read, but we can all go back to things that happen on Saturday morning. And if you're in your sixties, fifties, forties, we all have this thing. We all remember the same thing, zod. But it's a, maybe we have to look no further than Saturday morning in schoolhouse rock to find our tether to be an Americans, a name texture said, well said, brother, he put the good work. Well, thank you. I will stick with that Constitution thing. It's not done me wrong yet. All right. Come back more text and calls three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. This is midday mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM talk one oh six, five, and we're back 1252. You probably already knew what time it was. It's midday mobile. You might have known that as well. Did you know the phone number and the text line three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six coming up here and she's about 15 minutes or so. April Murray Fogle joins us. Let's talk about with her plus try to get her coached up to be a continuing guest host around here. So she's coming up a little after the news at one o'clock. All right, to the text line here, let's see, Joey says, you reckon the woke liberals want the kind of power or great brave founding fathers fled. You know, they, I'm sure some do and there are people on both sides of the aisle that would move towards a system where our governance is based on kind of how everybody feels right now and it's always been tough to push back against that. I've missed the train several times politically because I've stick with this constitution thing because something's popular it that you would get so far removed from a baseline or tether if you keep going to, to what's popular. That's why it's the genius of the constitution. It is, it's what it, and like I said, we have drifted, but at least there was some baseline to look back at and people, if it's going to be their side, right, then well, if people agree with me and then this side that I want that to happen because I like that and this is what I think is the right thing. Well, next time it may be something you disagree with. The handboard more power over is exactly what the founders did not want to have happen. The beauty of the system is, is the fact that we're at loggerheads a lot of times politically in this country. Now, I think people say, well, you know, today it's worse than ever. It's not good, it's not good for sure and that we have the ability to have these opinions spread so quickly, you know, through electronic media and that's not going to change. We're going to have better technology every day. We the people have got to change. We the people have to be able to stand up to those pulls out there and look back at that constitution because if you, if you don't, you end up with something that you aren't granted rights for. You're given, right? If you go into those systems of populism, well, that person, that politician, that politician gave you that thing, that right instead of God, instead of working off a baseline to say, I'm a human being. I'm an American citizen. And these things come with the deal or he got these. You got to tell me why you would take them away from me versus if you chase populism on both sides of the aisle, then it's just as good as the last person that was in office. And the next person is going to give you more of that thing or somebody else is going to take it away from you and give it to somebody else. David, I wonder who Trump likes better schoolhouse rock or Taylor Swift. Why did he say the, I mean, you know, you believe he did the hating the Taylor Swift? You should just said she has no talent. She's not really good, but yes, I don't, I think he would like schoolhouse rock. Chris and Orange Beach says schoolhouse rock. What is a bill? Yeah, the bill on Capitol Hill. That's the most famous. Right. Of course, that's the most famous, but there's way more in the catalog of schoolhouse rock that we mean like fire dogs saying, saying along with it 35 years later, it was our little mush brains as we were eating, unless I was spending the night with somebody, I didn't have fun cereal because that the sugar police in my house. So I was eating some kind of, I don't know, great nuts occasionally raising brand would show up and it had sugar and I would eat like three bowls, but there we go. Oh, and thank you. Chris said no more city taxes. Chris had called about this before and Chris, I'm definitely in this mix here because days go on. Okay, looking for your recommendations on a hearing aid properly, you know, you work in rock and roll radio and shoot guns your whole life and you come from a family that has a redity of bad hearing, I'm be heading that way, but Chris said no more city taxes on hearing, hearing devices effective of, let's see, October 1st of this year, passionately, Foley City Councilman sent that to him yesterday. Very good. But Chris is talking about there was a, the state removed taxes on hearing age, but the municipalities have to do the same, Maximus, uh, going fraggle rock. Remember that clap clap down at fraggle rock? Absolutely. Remember the fraggle rock. Didn't that come on? When that on HBO at some point, I think so, Dr. Mariana conjunction junction. What's your function? I've been a grammar Nazi ever since that episode. I had a shirt back in the eighties with, with that on there with the conjunction junction on there. I don't know why I thought that was cool, but I did at some point. Um, Terry says, thanks, Sean, for the schoolhouse rock constitution video is a great reminder for everyone. It is. And that we have to have our tether and be brought back by a cartoon from the 1970s and 1980s, um, this texture says what's scary is that you have a problem with people or the media, repeating the venom that's fused directly from the mouth of your orange cult leader. That's a constitutional right. So it's scary that I have a problem with people or the media repeating the venom this field. Do I? I love when I get bumped in with people like they're like, I assume he, he believes this thing, say what? When have you ever heard me have a problem with first and first amendment rights? I'm actually the opposite of name texture.
