Midday Mobile - Congressman Jerry Carl on the latest Trump assassination attempt - Monday, September 16, 2024
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. 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 step 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 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 main 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 ****. Way we go, FM Talk 106.5 midday mobile Monday style. Glad to have you along. Reminder to the telephone number. That's also the text number. The digits 3430106. 3430106.

Plus we got our winners from the drawings from Friday, Saturday and Sunday to talk about as well. All right. You heard me since say a couple of things here to Jeff and a lot in this first hour, maybe on through the show of another assassination attempt, or at least the setup for it on President Trump. Is this a new reality? I mean, like do we need to have like a 711 number, you know, to call in with their, you know, how you go have all these other numbers to get information out or somebody did see something and said something. I think that's why we have the suspect in custody here. But I saw this on Twitter, I guess today or something that I think it is accurate that Trump has now survived more assassination attempts than Kamala Harris has campaign interviews. And with that, I bring on our friend Todd Stacy from Alabama Daily News and Capitol Journal. I think it's two and two, right? Or maybe it's a tie game. There we go. The map is correct. Yeah, it is. So it is. So I mean, two interviews. Well, I guess she really just had the one interview and then the debate. So really, yeah, more more assassination. I mean, this is crazy. We're talking about this. I'm not ignorant that we've had, you know, assassination attempts over over time in this country and, you know, assassinations. But remember I talked to you a couple of weeks ago. I said, isn't it weird that that it's almost disappeared for the news cycle, that what happened, you know, in Butler, Pennsylvania? I mean, that in the past, maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly, but as a kid, when the assassination attempt went for Ronald Reagan, I think we heard about that it was in the news for six months or a year or something like that. And maybe because of the trial or something, this is seems like it's a weird time we're living in. Oh, yeah. And I mean, we've talked about that before a couple times about the media kind of moving on. I don't know if it's necessarily the media. I think that's part of it. But we don't just have a 24 hour news cycle. We have a hour to hour news cycle with Twitter. And that's that's kind of all of us. I mean, whether you're like us in the news business and we've got all if if all I did was write articles about the assassination attempt back in July, then I don't think that people wouldn't get pretty uninterested. Sure. Move on to say other stories. Yeah, that's fair. That's that's part of it. There's the cycle, especially in this presidential campaign moves very quickly. I mean, a week later Biden dropped off the ticket. That's a big story. You know, so but look, the biggest thing to me, this is obviously a terrible situation. I mean, you know, you just have the sinking feeling of good, you know, good discretions again. Um, but I got two problems, my first problem, besides just the fact that smile, you know, wants to kill for a president, possibly a future president. Um, I don't know how this guy knew that Trump was going to be on that golf course at that time. Now, hopefully we'll learn some more stuff. Uh, you know, why wasn't it cleared out better? But this was not on his public schedule. Well, it wasn't like the rally. The rally was public. You could find that guy had that guy had days to prepare to figure that out. Um, this, you know, so we need to know exactly how to this guy. No, but they were doing this. And, um, the other thing is, you know, more, more has come out about the fact that Trump just doesn't have the same level of protection as, you know, a president would or others. Um, that probably needs to change. I think it may be in a normal election year, so probably the, the candidates don't have as much protection as the sitting president. I understand that we're not in a normal cycle. And this, and he's already had one attempt on his life. Maybe you think about, you know, punching up that, uh, security detail and, uh, and clearing the golf course, uh, in the surrounding property. So I just, I'm not one of these that really makes up conspiracy theories and, and, and, or even follows them. Um, I think the secret service, the ones that were there did a great job. Mm hmm. I did. Identifying the shooter, making sure the former president was protected. But why wasn't there a bigger perimeter? And how the hell did this guy know that Trump was going to be playing golf? And that course at that time, you know, the thing that gets thrown out there. And I saw this, uh, last night on social media to say, well, we, you know, when the motorcade goes and goes from our long go to the golf course, it's, uh, obvious who's in it. Okay. That's fine. But what they're, you're spot on. They're jumping past the, how did you know he was there in the first place? I mean, if you were there laying, you know, in wait and said, okay, there goes the motorcade, that's probably got Trump in it. He's going to the golf course. That's fine. But how do you know to be laying in wait at more logo? You know, how do you know the tie? That's the part that gets me is how long have you been in the Palm Beach County? They're waiting for this to happen. And you know, I think we're actually probably going to figure a lot of this stuff out because they have the guy in custody. He doesn't seem like the quiet type. Right. He's been, yeah, he's been talking about that. Yeah. He kind of thinks he's somebody anyway. So some tells me he's going to have something to say and we'll learn a lot. But again, if you are a nominee for president, the Secret Service, our country has a vested interest in protecting you. And so we've got to, we've got some things to look at here in terms of making sure. Now, again, the, the very good news is that the protection worked after service did what they were supposed to do, guy was identified and never, never had a chance of reaching the president. I think that's great. But how did he get there? I had questions. Yeah, exactly. And it also put the Secret Service in a situation there where there's, you know, they found it, but and I agree, they did a good job. But why that perimeter wasn't backed, you know, and I can't picture it. I don't know where the chain link fence is. I'm not going to try it. You know, the Internet's full of people that know everything. I don't know. Yeah. I've got a lot of security experts. Yeah. So I, yeah, I don't claim to be, but I just wonder, you know, would that perimeter be pushed back? And something you're saying to, I think is interesting is, is there any ability to audible at Secret Service or any other federal groups? I would hope there, there is because you can say, well, here's the normal protection afforded to a candidate. All right. And then, but here's Donald Trump and he's had one attempt on him. So let's audible and provide something that's more than we normally do for, you know, a candidate, I mean, let alone a former president. It seems like that would be even if, okay, here's the protocol for, here's how you protect the president. Okay. Here's how you protect people that are running for office. If they have this, in this case, you might say this one needs some more protection. I mean, this one, let's ramp it up. Yeah, I think that's fair. Also, you know, I could see a situation where they might advise like, sir, it's just not the, why is this thing in the world to play golf, you know, from now until the election and on a wide open golf course with a wide open views and things like that. That's probably a bad idea. But at the same time, he can, he's supposed to be able to do what he wants. That's why you have Secret Service, right? Cause if you didn't and you're a famous person, you'd have to stay in a basement the whole time, you know, that's, that's the beauty of having that protection that you can actually get out and do things. Right. Yeah. I mean, so we, we don't know, but it's, look, it's, it's a really sad situation. I'm glad that you mentioned at the beginning that we do have a history of this in our country. And especially if you go back to, you know, 60s to like, yeah, early 80s. So you can start with Kennedy and go, you know, all the way, is really, you could go a lot further back than that. Um, if you went into the early 1900s and stuff like that, political assassinations, or at least the tents were pretty, you know, pretty common. That's where the Secret Service came from. Um, you know, like, I mean, you had to wake a little Lincoln, then you had, what, 20 something years later, I don't think you had Garfield, right? Garfield. Then you had McKinley at turn a century. Yeah. You had Roosevelt, you had an attempt on his life to say nothing of all of the overseas things. So it's not like it's, it's unprecedented. It is. We have president for this. It's just not good. We, you would hope that, but it's just the back to back thing. I think it's, it's just like it's the, it's the within, I don't know, from July to. So, I mean, it's just the month and a half time, you know, that it's just, which wild. Well, and, you know, there's a, there's kind of a melding of this pot between. All right. The guy that shot Reagan wanted to impress Jody Foster. So I mean, he's just a loony to, right? And I'm sorry if I'm using an insensitive mental health phrase. But you know what I'm saying? I knew if that was the case, he has off his rocker. Um, and, and I would think that most anybody that's that was willing to try to kill a president is a little unstable. And at the very least, the difference now is, you know, every, every town used to have a crank, you know, that was stupid and mean enough to go out and, you know, find that and try to kill somebody. But those cranks were pretty isolated amongst themselves. You really had to go out of your way to meet other cranks. Now with social media and the internet, all those weirdos find each other online. And to their crazy ideas and crazy notions about how to do things don't seem that crazy anymore because others, you know, are saying the same thing. And that's what worries me about this new age that we're in is, you know, no matter how far out your, you know, beliefs are, you can find somebody on the internet that will, you know, solidify that or that that agrees. And so that's what I worry about is, is this guy, you know, we'll let the investigation go forward, but with all it's already pretty public out there, this guy thought he was doing the country of favor by ending Donald Trump's life. And that's, that's the mindset that is scary to me. That's the mindset we need to avoid with our rhetoric and our politics. Yeah. And I, yeah. So we're going to talk about that later on in the show, but it's just the idea. There's always people out there trying to do this. I, you know, often use the analogy of one magnet pushing against another. When you remove one magnet, the other one, you know, moves forward. Um, we know these people are out there. And in this case, it's even more ramped up because of the rhetoric that the, yeah, the, I, and I'm not dog in the secret service here. They were doing their job. But just that you don't have even a bigger sterile area or whatever they call it around Donald Trump from now to, you know, and, and then of course the politics of this, uh, to hear, yeah, and I hate it this way because I'm trying to pick through it and try to be a fair arbiter, but people on the left, um, it was like either you heard there were left cranks out there cheering it or it's not a big deal move on. Trump probably did this to, to get attention for himself. You know, I've, I've heard every, uh, spin on that. And it's just, I'm, if this is where we are, we're that divided. Cause I mean, if somebody went after somebody who was, so they politically, I disagreed with big time, I'd say, you can't do that. That's, I'm not cheering that. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of, a lot of that is, well, first of all, it's completely inappropriate and completely stupid, um, it is, it is worthy of your loathing and score. Um, but I think a lot of people on the internet, whether it's Twitter, whether it's Facebook, whatever, Reddit, even email, they have this sense of like, they can say anything because they're not actually talking in person. Like you, you probably wouldn't say that to somebody in person. I get, you know, emails all the time from weirdos that are cussing me out in person. And the minute I respond, they are really apologetic. Oh, look, I'm really sorry. I had a bad day at work. You know, it's, so I really think that's part of it, which is you're hiding behind a screen and you think you have something clever to say, but it's actually really stupid. And again, I wish that wasn't part of our politics, but it's, it's, it's worth again, looking at how we talked to one another, looking at the rhetoric we lose. And when you say we have to stop this guy or else our country is gone, I mean, well, a lot of people who might interpret that as like, Oh, so you mean to me, if Donald Trump who is leading in some polls is elected, then our country won't exist. Well, I love this country got to do something about it. And that's, that's why we should not be putting this election. No matter what side you're on is the United States will no longer exist if this other person is elected. Well, I think our country is bigger than that as well. And I often ask those people, I said, well, if that's true, then why are there Democrats out there working on their campaigns for the following cycle for 2028, if they think it's all gone, why are they working on 2028? You know, maybe you need to look to them and say, yeah, it's probably not all over there. Listen, we've run out of time, but there's so much I want to talk to you about. I do want to have people check out Capitol Journal this week because what you and I talked about last week, you did cover the veteran affairs situation. So people can get some more insight there, right? Well, yeah, I mean, I think everything's been written so far about that. But yeah, we covered a lot of it on Capitol Journal had a really good episode. So you can find that on YouTube. Those episodes air Friday nights at 730 and Sundays at noon. So we're working on our episode for this Friday. Well, we'll see what happens. But yeah, you can go back and watch that on YouTube. Click the subscribe button so you won't ever miss an episode. Yeah, and not to tell. Yeah, I know Todd says, you know, air is on Friday and Sunday, but you can watch it like Monday morning or whenever by doing the YouTube. Oh, yeah, most people either most people either record it via, you know, YouTube TV or watch it on YouTube, you know, but a lot of people watch it on Sunday too. But yeah, please, please watch. All right, good deal. And people want to get signed up for the email. How do they do that? It's really easy. Just A L daily news.com. You can sign up right there on the homepage, enter your name and your email. And you'll be on the list. All right, Todd. There's always men. I appreciate our conversations. We'll talk again next week. All right, Sean. Be good. All right, there he goes. Tom Stacy, coming right back more midday mobile. Hey, joining us at about 1235 to talk more about this. Our congressman in a L one, Jerry Carl will join us. Talk to him also lots of texts and calls from you. So we'll get to those. We get back plus cracking down on red, white runners and city mobile. Just having to do with the light sinking on airport. I don't know. I'm just throwing that out there into the ether. Be right back. This is midday mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM talk. One oh six, five. 1226 FM talk one of six five midday mobile, but through some of these texts here, pretty quickly, Jerry Carl joins us in the next segment. Plus come up an hour number two. We'll draw those names for the bucket winners from the G and D outdoor expo this weekend. Your time to win coming up. So hopefully you're at the edge of your seat. All right, to the text slide. Squirrel Vereen said now is the time for a local law enforcement to speak to the public about how they will investigate and not tolerate threats. Yeah, whether you know a little bit about that coming from Foley High School, right? And Scorvering says, I bet former President Obama has more security. I don't know. I mean, you think a former president should have equal about. And then in the case of Trump, after there's been an assassination attempt, you would ramp it up. Firedog says, let's see today, still wanted by the government. They survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have former presidents who are opposed to be the next Hitler, then no one else can help you if the mainstream media can create them, then maybe you can hire the 18 and cue the cue, the theme music. So posting awful comments on Facebook and X sort of like texting into a radio show with a random name on the line, like fire dog. Oh, wait a minute. Called yourself out, fire dog. And let's see the this from unnamed texture said internal leak. He needs more security detail and there needs to be some accountability. If this would have been for Kamala Harris, it would have been newsworthy for the next three months or up until the election. Adam saying, what is this about ceramic tiles in his backpack? The news is reporting it like it's normal to be carrying tiles with them. I have not seen that. I do have a stack of info. We'll get to Adam. I did not see that yet. Let's see this from. This is Abbott. I have it says, once you realize that neither of the assassination attempts on Trump were lone wolf attacks, the context will become more apparent. You know, in this case, Abbott, we have a chance to hear from this guy. And yes, I thought the same thing. I heard the people texting in earlier today about, will he make it? You know, will he get abstained? But we'll be able to have it. I don't think so. I think there are too many eyes on it right now. I think that would be even something too far to go. We'll be able to hear from this guy, his motivations for this. Well, I don't, you know, I am interested. I am interested to hear what what he says. Mike says, it's because a sniper blew him away with no more to talk about. Oh, I'm saying about the first assassination attempt. Mike, I think there's a lot more to that actually than because that guy was, you'd say no more to talk about. I think there was a lot more to talk about with that dirt bag, the Butler Pennsylvania dirt bag. And Mike goes on to say Democrats are saying democracy will be destroyed by Trump. Once again, look go further than Democrats working on their campaigns for 2028 to tell you, do you really? I mean, if I was in an interview with them and they said, well, this is the end of democracy. If he's elected, then why are you fundraising for 2028? Let's see. Community notes want to be said. Why would the left want anything to happen to Trump? He's the easiest to beat. This is the old Biden thing, right? The Biden's easiest to beat who would they who would they run? Trump's got the support way more than anybody else who ran against him. And all right, we'll get to some of these texts later on. I appreciate it. Yeah. So I mean, LV saying ceramic towels make it bulletproof. I understand what the ceramic towels do, but I just don't know about the association with this guy with having ceramic towels. I will dig into this and we will talk about it. Coming back, AL1's Congressman Jerry Karl joins me. We're going to talk with him about what happened in Florida. This is midday mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM talk one oh six five. Right. 1234 FM talk one oh six five midday mobile on this Monday joined by our Congressman AL1's Congressman Jerry Karl. Congressman and I actually spent a second there during the newsbreak coming off of what the text line had asked about LV and others talking about the about the plates and ceramic tiles. Congressman, you and I both talked to where I hadn't seen the story. I Googled it then. So they said the the suspect here had left behind in his belongings, the GoPro, the the rifle, the backpacks and one ceramic tile that seems on no unless he's going to slide it into to a splat jacket and you know, and use it, but multiple types, you know, it would be yeah, yeah, they wanted to front one of the back. I mean, that's the way that they're sold in pairs when you when you buy the armor itself, but you know, one thing I want caution everybody, most everything you're going to hear over the next 24 48 hours is going to be a reaction to what people have seen or what they think. You know, I always try to be very cautious on situations like this until I get a heart evidence. I'll get brief tonight. We should will be in DC tonight and the conference. They should brief us a little bit as to what they know. But but you know, I want to take just a minute and thank God we got at least one secret service agent that was doing his job. Yes, he saw barrel. He started shooting. So thank God for one good secret service agent is nothing else. No, I think that, you know, I said the beginning of the hour or two that I think the secret service, I'm not I'm not here to dog them out that they did, you know, moving ahead and founding them. It's just and I don't, you know, I know the Internet's full of people that know everything. I don't know the layout there. I don't know how far the security pervertor should be outside that fence. I don't know. I just think it's worth asking questions, but yeah, good on that agent. Yeah, so, but, but you know, I've been complaining several of us have been complaining for a while about the and I'm expressed it to you and I think when you show a couple of times, but the size of the force that travels with him is not many. He got off the plane and Montgomery and there may have been four agents with him in Montgomery when I greeted him in Montgomery one time. And I've seen him a couple of times since it's been very low numbers, but that's an ex-president. I mean, he's a target. All ex-presidents are targets and you don't send four people to protect them. So we've got to break down obviously in the secret service. They don't need more money that they need to be using with the money they've got more wisely. You know, I don't know how many agents there are. I was sold as around 512 to 1500 and if they can't spare four more somewhere else and double the size of that security around that man, if they don't have the resources to put a drone in the air 24 hours a day around that golf course, you know, he's going to play it probably one day a week. I mean, that he's a creature of habit, you know, and just, you know, I'm a civilian and I can come up with that much, but it is going to be more whole lot more of this story than what we anticipate. I thought he just he's just another left wing nut job. I've seen again, I've seen a lot of stuff. I don't I don't want to get too deep in the weeds with, but but they've all seem to have several things alike that we need to start looking at from a mental mental health illness. There you go. There you go. Cause there's people that are extremely left wing in this country and extremely white, right wing in this country that aren't shooting anybody. Right. So there's another, there's another part to this formula. Oh, I totally agree. And we've got to start identifying those people. You know, you're going to Israel or some of these other countries, they're going to profile you when you get there and we got to start doing more profile. I don't care what the courts tell us. They say we can't profile the heck we can't. We have to. We have to, if we're going to prepare to take, not just President Trump, but all of us. Yeah. I was wondering, too, on the secret service side, Congressman, like I can imagine there's, you have the protection for the sitting president. Okay. And then you have whatever for the, you know, for an ex president, I guess it's standardized, but you would think, and I'm just guessing because I'm a civilian civilian, but then you go, okay, well, here's the, what we give this, this ex president, but now this ex president is running for office. So then we would increase it by this much, whatever percentage it is. And then this guy had an assassination attempt. So we increase it again. It seems like there should be, I don't know, I don't know if it's just government protocol and like, well, this is what it is. Or if there's flexibility to say, not only is it an ex president, it's an ex president who's running for office and somebody already tried to kill him. So, well, you're, you're, you're, you're over secret service and you've messed up the first time. He almost got assassinated the first time. You don't think I'd be increasing the manpower around him. You don't think I'd be increasing the technology, watching him. I mean, I would have him wrapped up. And if you think the second time is the last time there'll be a third time. I, I don't know. And the past I would have told you, I had a past I'd have told you, I don't believe it now. Absolutely. Congressman, I mean, it's done it twice now. I can't, I can't, it's better chance of been happening again than not happening. Again, it seems like he's, he's become a trophy disease. He left wing whack jobs. I mean, he's a trophy. I mean, why do you think you want to video it? Yeah, he knows he's going to go to jail. He knows he's going to get killed, whatever, you know, his video go down into history, recorded in history and people will watch it, you know, the right, you know, for the next hundred years. So, uh, there's, there's not jobs that truly believe in that. And then there's, you know, there's not jobs that are chasing, uh, some of the congressmen and senators too. I saw, I'll watch one of the congressmen and Atlanta at to get her off the plane and get her into a secure car and get her off the, uh, tarmac. I don't know what happened. Don't know what was going on, but obviously there was a death threat there. So, uh, they, they got her scooped up and got her out of there. But it's a, it's a crazy world out there, especially if you're in the political realm, we have to be very cautious about everything we do. We have to be cautious who we talk to and how much information we give them out. Uh, but, but it's, it's surprisingly paid a server and Trump realizes that. That's why he's doing it. Hey, just joining us talking to our congressmen, Jerry Carl. Uh, so you will be brief tonight, uh, when in Washington on this, then the, uh, next question is the politics of this, you know, it's, I don't know, you know, where people are in the undecided ranks. I do believe people say there's no one that left that's undecided. I don't think that's true. I don't know them, but I think they are out there, uh, politically. How does this, how does this move the needle at all? Do you have any idea on that? Well, you know, all of us Trump supporters and conservatives, I'm, I'm stunned. I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm almost numb on this one. Uh, he's a target and he will be a target. We know about the ones that, that, that they, they publicly catch. We don't know. We never find out about the ones that they disarm before they have a chance to do it. So I, you know, I don't know politically, I don't know how it's going to play out. I don't think it's going to help his number to hurt his numbers. That's the sure, but I think we certainly should be talking more about mental health illnesses across this country in so many, uh, aspects where it's local or on the federal level. This is a good example. Again, there are so many similarities of these shooters, uh, not, not just the present shooters, but also the shooters in the schools and, and public places. And we need to start focusing on that. Call it what it is mental, mental health issues. Let's get it. Let's, let's start, let's start focusing on that. What does that look like in legislation or do we already have the things, you know, often I will look at things that, uh, coming out of Washington and say, well, you know, if we were just enforcing the laws we had, we wouldn't need the new laws. But do we need new laws and what would those look like and who would be over this? How, how do you do this? So many of the laws that we have are good laws. They're on the books. They just need to be reinterpreted. If that makes sense, we've allowed the left, especially in the environmental community to interpret the laws that are on the books the way they want them interpreted. We've all agreed and we're going along with them. And I think this is one of the mental health issues is, is, uh, is across party lines. I mean, we all have problems with it. So we need to readdress that. You know, when, when we do find something, uh, and I'll share some stuff with you all fair, but, but when we do find stuff that, that collates and it's reoccurring, we need to call it what it is. You know, we need to look after Americans. I don't look after Republicans or Democrats. Let's look after Americans. Cause these are Americans that are being killed. So the mental health issue is something we've got to start folks and all. And from a political standpoint, we've got to have people willing to step up. Don't worry about the politics. I say, say what it truly is. Let's say some lives. I promise you one life is a whole lot worth a whole lot more than my political career. Congressman Terry Carroll, shift gears here for a second. And you mentioned environmental. I'll just think being out yesterday, I don't want to get into how rough it was. And the Gulf of Mexico yesterday was out there, uh, trying to, you know, catch some snapper, uh, with you not being in office here after the end of your term. Uh, and, and several other parts moving on this, uh, there's a worry in, in my ranks, at least a smaller group of people about what could happen with, you know, it's been a, it's been the nature of the pushback from the federal ranks has given us the ability to even have state management of snapper and other things. What do you see in the future here? Who's going to pick up the baton? Well, we're, we're really working hard to try to get my keys out over and, uh, past the little moss point, Gulfport area, the congressman over there on natural resources. And if we can get him on that for resources, we can schooling and he's, he's a big fisherman himself. We can, I can school him on what, um, what I've done so far. The day, the ace that I had Sean was being on appropriations. So I can play with people's numbers if they mess with it too much. Uh, you don't want to use it as a, uh, as a, um, a steering factor for big stuff, a little stuff, it's important. So in the rice as well, that was, you know, that was targeted to shut the Gulf down from drilling. That's all that was about. So I used appropriations. I don't know where that's going. That boat you went out on. I don't know what the length is, but if it's 30 foot or plus, you know, it's going to go down to 10 miles per hour. No night movement if they get their way. So it's, it's, uh, I don't, I don't, I don't know, to be honest with you. I have no idea where this is going once I leave. I hope, I hope he's able to get on that for resources. And I hope he's able to steer it. Uh, we're trying to get, uh, Dale strong on appropriations. Uh, he's out of Huntsville. We can get Dale on there with a certain work with Dale. I, I plan on, you know, I'm still going to work with everybody up there. I, I may not be in office, but that didn't stop me from working with them with them on issues that we have here in, uh, and Gulf Coast. What's your sense? Speaking of back here and the newly drawn AL2, um, national cons, I mean, you've talked about national consequence in the house for AL2, but this is, you know, this is, I don't know. I mean, some days I want to say this thing, uh, leans towards figures. Some days towards Dobson, most days, I think it's a jump ball. What are you hearing from people in Washington? Those people looking at it. So Donaldson can win. She can win very easily. But if the Republican parties and Republicans in the district too don't get out and vote. You're going to get what you ask for. If you do not vote, you're going to get what you ask for. You're going to get a congressman that's going to toe the line of the Democrat party. And I, I wrote a piece and it came out today. I hadn't seen it published anywhere yet, but it talks about our immigration issues. It's all designed by the Democrat party and all these congressmen are going on with it. So when you've got migration building up in, in, in coffee county, in a small community and, in, um, um, uh, Talladega county in a small community, that's directly because of the Democrat party. They voted for that. So to vote for a Democrat in that district too, you're saying I'm okay with that. I'm okay with them planting all those immigrants in, in our district, of district too. So I caution you Republicans, if you're listening and if you don't vote, don't say a word. You're the reason we let, we're going to lose. I think, uh, and there's this issue here where people will feel good about, well, Trump's going to win Alabama. They may, they may tell you right now they're going to go vote, become, you know, election day, be like, well, you know, that's fine, but they forget the down ballot. They forget the down ballot. Yeah, but, but, but, yeah, but I'm going to say Trump is not my worry. I understand. I'm just telling you what I think people do. You win Alabama big, but, but it's our response. But if you don't like Trump, go vote for district too. Just don't vote for president, can't do it all. That's fine, but you've got to vote for district too, if you're a Republican. Get your friends, talk to your family. Go pick them up. I, I take my mother and all of my wife's face. My mother will all to vote every time. There's some people that, that, you know, we need to help. We got to say this district too. I'm telling you, Sean, it is so important for the Gulf Coast. Because if we get it, we're going to have no representation. I, I've just, I'm worried, I'm worried, I'm worried, and we, we've got to hang on the district too. Congressman, I appreciate your time. I can get you back on hopefully many times before November. So be ready and we'll talk then. God bless, Sean. Take care. All right, there goes Congressman Jerry Carl. And we're coming right back. More of midday mobile. Right here on a Monday 3, 4, 3, 0, 1, 0, 6, puts us in touch. [Music] This is midday mobile with Sean Sullivan on FMTalk 1065. We also have to get to the arrest made here on the Iranian Assassin Pakistani National. Remember we've been talking about this on the show for months and months and months. The FBI is like, oh, by the way, in, in all these other things. There also is an assassin in the country looking to recruit people, right? They were going to go after Trump and take Bolton, Pompeo, others here over the Soleimani assassination. Get to that in a second. Grab some text here as well. My gosh, a big stack. Thank you for those. A lot of discussion about ceramic tiles and one of my buddies who really knows this stuff. He said ceramic plates is I think the term here. This is good because we have to get this accurate ceramic plates that are in ballistic vests. But he had like, here's as I see the news now, to everybody in this discussion, he had one like in a backpack. It didn't seem like it was, it didn't seem like he had to write the appropriate ballistic vests where they fit in. It just seemed like he had one. I don't know. I think that's a bit of a red herring. I think it's interesting, but I mean, it wasn't in a vest and people can buy those. It's not like you have to, so I don't know why it was just in a backpack, not in a play in a vest. I don't know. I don't know that. Let's see here. Superbomb said if it gets in responding guests to community notes, want to be who said, why would the left want anything to happen to Trump? He's the easiest to beat. Supermom said if Harris could beat Trump in a fair election, then why do they keep trying to take Trump out? If I were Trump, I'd get my own security life yesterday. You probably team, yeah, you think they were talking about black water this morning, the morning show get prints in his group in the mix, Eric Prince. Supermom goes on to say, I would not depend on the secret service or the FBI. They've proven themselves inept, culpable, and possibly in on these threats. Uh, let's see. Jason says, maybe we can get him one of those camo Harris walls hats. I hear they're cheap. Yeah, you know, that's the whole thing because, you know, it's a camo hat because everybody wears camo hats is going to vote for what I saw that too, Jason. I don't, I don't know if they're selling, but although listen, Jason, they may sell them because, you know, the kids, the, uh, the kids like to wear the camo, like to for looks or something like that. It's like a hip thing. It's like what they did to remember. They did the car heart clothing that I've been wearing since I got my grandparents to give me my first jacket when I was a kid because that's what my, my pap wore. Uh, the hipsters all wear car hearts and now car hearts way, way expensive. Um, see, Terry says not all ceramic tiles are bullet resistant to rifle bullets. They need to be a certain type of material to stop rifle rounds. Uh, Bob said, couldn't the president use private operators to be out of his detail? I wouldn't see why not, but he's a free citizen. You can pay the money and have black water. I, I think Bob, unless there's something that because Secret Service, I don't know. I don't know. I would part of me just says, well, of course you can. You're private citizen. You can pay to have private security, but maybe there's something I don't understand. Um, this texture says Biden can spare some of his Secret Service since he's on the beach. Although that'd be a tough place to protect you too, right? Because people could come out of the water. Uh, let's see this unnamed texture. Trump's a trophy to the system. Politicians need to be scared. Trump ain't as similar to what Congressman Carl just said. Uh, more unnamed texture. So a bunch of, y'all give yourself a handle here, name or nickname or something like that. Said there's a legitimate concern for Trump safety, but Trump posted Obama address and made fun of the attack on Pelosi's husband. We should show concern for all. I would agree with that unnamed texture. Like I said, I said in the conversation, I don't think it's okay at any level for no matter who it is. I mean, pick whoever it would be that I most disagree with politically out there. I think they should be safe. I think their first amendment right should be protected to say things that I might not like. Um, let's see. Oh my gosh, so many, uh, Mike says, just look how many people they were put out of Cersei. Oh yeah, well, listen, that conversation goes way back. Doesn't it, Mike? When then Governor Bentley decided to just kind of close down the state's responsibility on a lot of those hospitals and say, Hey, we'll let the counties and municipalities deal with that. Take a long time to try to get that straight for sure. Uh, rock and roll doctor says, why does Jerry think government can fix mental health? What does government do? Well, other than some of the military expecting results from government actions on mental health is like thinking the secret service is well managed. Sean says this guy obviously a sheep dipped CIA asset. All right. So and, uh, let's see. Grant says I did private security of our assets and we never, and I mean, never had less than six on a team. We were working for NBC, laugh out loud. Their rules about weapons are insane, while trying to protect their people and crew. It's beyond silly. David says, I heard that the proud boys have already offered their services for protection to Trump. Oh my gosh, that'd be the last thing I'd take if I'm Trump, proud. Yeah, there's some of those guys. You see some of the videos of them and you're like, guys, just go find a new hobby. You go, go play part cheesy or something. Um, and Pat said, so Trump could get his own private security and the government would pay him up to a million dollars a year rather than to have secret services. Is that, is that how it works? Pat, I don't, I'm ignorant to how that works. Like so many things that go on the political cycle these days generally have to go digging for answers to questions. And we'll do that. Come right back more your calls and texts. Plus, yeah, the Pakistani man who's now pleading not guilty to the assassination plot charges. That's on the way and, uh, yeah, get ready. The red light blitz traffic enforcement program coming to the city of Mobile. That a whole lot more on the way. Now we're number two coming up.
