Midday Mobile - Neo-Nazi Pillows and Apryl Marie-Fogel - September 24, 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 1065. Well, Sean is 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 video we got? I mean, the video we got great, pretty good, don't it? Did you hear what I said? So this is a great 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 ****. Right time. 107 FM Talk 1065, the radio station and the show midday mobile. Hi, I'm Sean, right. Just take it a second. One of the monitors here actually saw it in my office. And same monitor. I'm looking at here in the studio. So Donald Trump giving a speech in Savannah, Georgia. And I just realized, you know, because it sounds off, right? The sounds off because you'd be here. So the sound's off on the monitors and I don't have the closed captioning on. So I don't know what he's saying, but I do know what he's saying the way his hands are moving. I think I'm learning to read Trumpy's hand language. Like when he moves, does it mean certain things? You know, he does the the open hands back and forth like he's playing the accordion. Then he puts the finger up the points and then he has the one hand. I think I can train or maybe it's like the fake sign language. You know, you've seen these things. I think there was a story recently about people doing the fake sign language. There's a big story from back in Tampa. Like what? Five, six years ago, where they had a press conference and the person was doing, you know, you have a press conference. So for people who can't hear, it's good to have somebody signing so they can get the same information. And there's a person standing next to whoever was talking. Was it like doing a hurricane or something? I'd have to find the story. So they're given a press conference and the person's they're signing next to whatever elected official there was given a speech. And it turns out like they were just making stuff up. And the people are like, who actually can use sign language? We're chiming in on the website, you know, that that's gobbledygook. Oh, I don't know if I'm reading sign language with Trump or not, but yeah, watching it. He's something something he's really good. Something's been great. Then something was bad and they pointed at the audience. Something would be good for them. So that's what I translated from it. All right, grab your text as well at three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. Let me read a few of these here. And I got a couple of stories I want to get into. Plus April Marie Fogle, I think joins us around 130. All right, Pat says if there's guys in the car and guns in the car, but you have no reason to ask them about it, I.e. They aren't in your criminal database or they're old enough to have the guns. You don't need to be bothering citizens about their second amendment. Freedoms, you know, the new ones in this, Pat, you know, I'm like, I need to go on and on. I'm pretty, pretty solid to a, I have somewhere, like I said, between zero and 500 guns, but it probably is zero. The that 18 to 21, so you can, you can, you can have the handgun, but you can't buy it by it being federal law. You know, and then the change for a permitless scary in Alabama. That, that window, I don't know how I feel about it, but I think that's at least the discussion point, right? Those three years. So, because of me back, back in the day, way back when, even though I could buy shotguns and rifles, long arms, at 18, I couldn't buy a handgun until 21, right? So now you still can't buy a handgun until 21, but you can possess it. All right, Ben said, I enjoyed hearing for the Baldwin County Sheriff. I hope he makes a regular appearance. I think that is a, I think that's a thing we're going to do every month, then. So we check in with Mobile County Sheriff and also the Baldwin County Sheriff. Let's see. This texture said, I am from Fair Hope, Alabama, 69 years. They don't know, be confused. All four children rent a mobile because rents do high and fair hope, getting money from the government. Need to clear that one up for me. I don't quite understand that haiku. That was just sent to me Shane and Mobile says, maybe the feds want to ask for forgiveness later than permission in the first place to put immigrants in Baldwin County. And there's a political question about it, but like I was asking the sheriff, it should be. Even if the answer is you dang, you dang, Skippy were putting Haitians here, which I don't know they are, but you should be able to call, especially if you're the sheriff or, you know, the same reason we have a system of representatives, right? People forget this stuff when you hear the announcements come on here from Jerry Carl when he says, hey, you have problems with the passport, having a problem with this, that and the other, which I know from people I personally know that he's worked on those issues for him and solve problems. That's your representative, right? Well, like the bureaucrat may not answer the phone for me when the elected representative calls, they do. So even through those channels, there's nowhere to call and say, are they really bringing some. Uh, migrants here, you're not, it's, and that's not even yes or no, that's just that would be a fair question to say, hey, is this happening? There's got to be like a phone number where you call, right? Can there be like the three, one, one where you could call in and get the question answered? Uh, I don't know. Michael said that the sheriff attempted to check with organizations like Catholic charities or Red Cross about the Haitians. They're the biggest traffickers and should have had the most information on it. Uh, Jerry and Fort Morgan, where in the constitution does it mention international law? Hopefully, uh, the fat girl who can't holster her sidearm has a leadership position in the UN security detail. Make the world great again. Thank you, doesn't have medicine. Uh, the, the, is that sticker available? It's a sticker with Trump on it and the, and you pay your money because it has the, uh, universal Alabama. Uh, script A, very specific, different from the Braves, right? And people learned early on that we're using the script A back in the day, decade plus ago, that we're just using it. And the lawyers from the University of Alabama were saying, hey, you got to pay for that. But the sticker has a script A on it, has Trump on it, has him pointing and the line here. I love this sticker. It doesn't have, if this exists, tell me where to get it. It says they're eating dogs. So that's the sticker to wear to this weekend's game. That would be a reason not to go. Though, you know, exciting Alabama, Georgia game in, in, in T town, all those things are great, but. Even before the two assassination attempts on Trump, you know, the security would be way heavy. You're not, you're not sneaking. You're not sneaking any Evan Williams into the game this weekend. You're not going to sneak it in there. And I think it's going to be probably hours more waiting outside the stadium to get Trump there. I think it's, you know, it's a good thing. A good exciting event and probably good political move from Trump. But yeah, I don't know. I think if I had tickets, which I don't, I would, I would not not go because I wouldn't want the extra time waiting outside. Because I think you have to like clear security. It's not like you can sit at galettes and then clear security in like two seconds when the game starts. I don't think so. Somebody who's going this weekend, let me know if they told you anything on that. All right. To, to some stories that was speaking, let's speak in politics here. So this from the New York Post. Okay. The headline here. My pillow guy, Mike Lindell, denies new online ad is actually neo nazi dog whistle. So this is an interesting story for me because. I'm not the, I'm not the, uh, Mike Lindell proponent that many are out there that, uh, yeah, I just, but this is ridiculous. So it goes back to the, I'll just read you the story and then see if you deal with some similar frustration in your life. Says controversial pillow maker. That may be a first time sentence ever controversial pillow maker. Mike Lindell has gone viral for a promotion that many believe is a nod to the neo nazi slogans. An accusation he denied to the New York Post on Monday, calling it a politically motivated hip job. And I would say in this case, Mike Lindell, I believe I am on your side 100% because this is stupid. It is, it said, Mike Lindell has a new add out. I, you know, he always has a new add out and then he, the guy who interrupts his ads to do an ad. Like he said, I'm interrupting my commercial was so commercial. Uh, and it says sleep like a dream with our standard, my pillow for just $14 and 88 cents. That reads a promotion ad seen by, seen millions of times and shared again by Mike Lindell on Monday, even after the backlash. The sales price is a less than a third of the pillows, usually 49 98. Uh, okay. So he's discount big discount here pillows, normally 49 98, he says. But just like the people, if you ever go to Joseph a bank and buy something for what the actual price is on there, you're a fool. Uh, but yeah, so he, he's now discounting the 40, a pillow for $49 and 98 cents discounted to 14 88. They said it's an amalgam of two pairs of numbers closely tied to white supremacists and neo nazi groups. So he's quoting blues brothers to me the other day on the text line. One of my favorite lines from that is I hate Illinois Nazis. I hate Nazis anywhere. So this is what they, this is what they've done here. So I guess the, uh, the people searching around on the web have decided that Mike Lindell is calling out to the neo Nazis because how he is pricing his pillow. I mean, if you're going to go and encourage the neo Nazis, would you do it through a pillow sale? New York Post breaks this down because I saw it. I'm like, what in the world are y'all talking about? It said the number 14 is part of the 14 words, a phrase coined by white supremacist David Lane. Isn't that the magician? A white supremacist David Lane that claims, quote, we must secure the existence for people in a future for white children. That according to the adl, the anti defamation league. The number 88, meanwhile, you know what this sounds like. It sounds like a theory come. It's somebody who got really high and looked at the dollar bill came up with, but it says the number 88. Meanwhile, it's used to represent Kyle Hitler as H is the eighth letter of the alphabet. The organization added. So 88 now means. So, or the, if there's a player with 88 number, then that they're saying how Hitler. This is this thing that goes on and they'll take somebody like me. I'll say something, whatever. They say, you know that that's a, that's a dog whistled that means this or that or the other. I go, no, I just actually was just using the word. This, it says, accusations quickly made Michael and Dell and his pillow company go viral. With neo Nazis and white supremacists cheering the apparent nod and openly reposting the ad. Okay, so he's, he's cutting a sale on a pillow here. And whoever the, the, the, the people from Stormfront or whatever are going, woohoo. His new sale on the mind pillow is a shout out to the neo. Do we believe Michael and Dell is sitting around going, we could discount this pillow. We're going to lose a lot of money on it, but at least it'll be a dog whistle to the neo Nazis. What, what the hell? So when Dell, however, has vehemently denied the allegations when reached by the posts on Monday, but he has still, it said, still happily sharing the ad online without adjustment or clarification. I don't think he should adjust or clarify if he's not a damn Nazi. When Dell went on to say in the interview, I have no idea what all this is about. Adding that 88 cents is simply a price point often used by companies like Walmart. And we know they're, we do know they're Nazis, but you see, there's a lot of things. I thought about that when I read it that there's a lot of things when they, and I don't know why they drop things from 99 to 80. I don't know. I don't think it's shouting out to the Nazis. But Walmart has stuff that's 88 everywhere as well. Is that a shout out to the Nazis? When they've got, whatever, when they've marked down whatever plastic piece of crap that they imported from China, they're selling you at your local Walmart and they drop it down to whatever dot 88. Is it actually this, this plastic kitchen tongs are now a shout out to Hitler? Lindell says the allegations are simply another way for people to attack his company because of his political beliefs, specifically his plan to secure future elections with his outspoken sharing of conspiracies that the last election, election was stolen for Donald Trump. Now, Mike Lindell says a lot of things that I, I just roll my eyes. Yeah. Like he goes, he goes deep on some of this stuff instead of saying, hey, there's questions with the election. He's got, and then this thing happened, this other thing and then this, okay. But there are people that nothing else, the fact that he marks, do we believe? Honestly, critical thinking and opened up, I'll get to the text line here. Opened up to people on the, that hate Trump or on the left or whatever. Do you believe truly that Mike Lindell has a plan, had a plan to reduce the pillow, which, who the hell is paying $50 for the pillow? But it reduces pillow price as an attempt to not sell more pillows, but to give a shout out to Hans and Franz. Is that, is that what we're supposed to believe? All right. Critical thinking, not, not alive and well on the internet. So I would buy, I would probably buy one, but I buy something that was marked down to whatever 88 and not think I was highly, flip and hitler. I'm going to put this story up on the Twitter, the X-feed. Y'all can check it out @FMTalk1065. News is next, we'll be right back. You're listening to Midday Mobile with Sean Sullivan on FMTalk1065. All Sean now at 3-4-3-0-1-06. Right till 1-24, FMTalk1065, Midday Mobile. 3-4-3-0-1-0-6. Now you get through to me on the text line or the phone line. Also thinking about this, you heard Dr. Bill, like the storm. So Helene going to go to our east, of course, that brings in air from the north and a cold front coming in. By this weekend, lows in the 60s. All right. Get out and enjoy it. You get out and enjoy it on a bicycle, a regular bicycle. That's cool as well because my man Clint Jamison at Adventure Earth Bicycles had a need to come back to this. I always talk about the e-bikes. He has 400 of the non-electric bikes in stock at any time. And that means everything from the bikes for the kids, to the three wheelers, to the road bikes, to the mountain bikes, to the hybrid bikes, to the new gravel bikes. They're kind of like more towards a 10-speed, like a road bike than it is a hybrid or a mountain bike, but still better. You can ride off concrete, ride on dirt roads or gravel, like the name says. He's got those bikes in stock as well. Helmets, the paniers, all the gear, the racks for your vehicle to carry your bikes. And he does good old fashioned bike shop stuff, which is hard to find anymore, right? People go buy bikes at some box store. Who's going to do the service like it used to be back in the day? Well, it's like back in the day with my man Clint at Adventure Earth Bicycles. If you buy a bike from him, you get quarterly. Quarterly, you bring the bike in to get everything done on it from the grease chain to get the brake set. Everything fixed on your bicycle or tuned up. But even if you didn't, it's a good old fashioned bike shop. So if you've got bikes, you want to make sure they're working properly. Before you get out there yourself or the kids or whatever riding them, take them to Clint, let the crew down there, work on them. Adventure Earth Bicycles, corner of Little Flower and Airport in Midtown. They're online at adventure-earth.com, but best thing to do is go see them in person. Okay, while you're there, check out the e-bikes as well. Adventure Earth Bicycles, everything inside to get you outside, right? To the text line, how many of these could I read? Gary said, "Yeah, the Alabama has a mullet and Atlanta does not." Yes, the script A. Remember back in the day, though, people used to put the Alabama script A on everything, and then the, I guess, the attorneys with the University of Alabama then said, "We need to make some money on that." And they were all kind of like radio station promotions and all that stuff that had happened, just you and TV and all that. It used the script A, and they all got letters from the university going, "Hey, if you're going to put that on there, you got to pay us." All right, a name Texas says, remember when Obama, remember Obama saying, "He's going to fundamentally change our country." Do? Dean says, "Hello, Sean, I saw a truck riding in the passenger seat, and the passenger side, he had a big old sticker that looked just like Trump." So he's like, "He's looking out the passenger window." See me, Carl, what? A neo-Nazi pillow fight? I just, I get frustrated with this stuff when people, this happened in the past with whatever. I don't know, some, oh, it was the okay, it was the okay symbol, that's what it was. And I do that a lot, like when people have headphones on in here, and the mics are on, but I'm trying to say, "Hey, is that the headphones too loud, or are you ready to go in the next segment or whatever?" I'll give the okay sign, right, so we don't talk on the mic, okay sign. That's shit, because it's okay, yes, go ahead, okay. Then I found out at some point I was doing that, and somebody said, "That's neo-Nazi stuff." Like, it's not for me, I'm just giving the okay sign. I'm not saying a neo-Nazi stuff, so don't bring me into your crap. Pat says, "What if they really were behind the scenes numbers, though, sounds like a good conspiracy?" Honestly good, who's got, you run a business, anybody out there runs a business. Would you have time, first of all, why the hell would you want to promote damn Nazis? But would you have the time to go, "Here's what we're going to do. We're changing our pricing structure, see, to give a shout out to the neo-Nazis." Yeah, it's like Roger says, "When Costco changes the price to end in .97, that indicates that will be the lowest price offered and will not be restocked until possibly the next season." Okay, now there's information I can use, thank you Roger. When businesses mark things down to .69, are they cutting a deal, or are they just trying to get immature folks? I'm not laughing to go, "Look, Jerry and Fort Morgan said I never really understood the dog whistle thing. Granddaddy used to load a load of number 9s to the backside for attention getting. The domestic terror groups have never seen. Never came after this guy worse than anyone I've ever seen." There's things you can talk about with Lindell when you can debate and all that stuff. Like I said, I don't know pillow products or robes or towels or any of the things. It's fine, people do like them, that's cool, free market, enjoy yourself. But the idea that Mike Lindell is like in the bunker deciding he's going to mark things down to .88, and he's not doing it to run the business, he's doing it to shout out the Nazi. Firedog say, "Did you say critical thinking, Sean?" That's been done for the last 25 years. I have two kids in college and at this point I believe critical thinking is actually discouraged. That's not encouraging, Firedog. We'll be right back. This is Midday Mobile with Sean Sullivan on FMTalk1065. All right, welcome back. It is Midday Mobile. On this Tuesday, I'd like to have you along. Check in with my man, Blaine Price. He is at Paris Tractor in Robert'sdale where if, well Blaine will tell you best. I mean, you think about the rental department there. You're like, "Okay, well, if I need a man lift or I need a big piece of equipment, he's got that." But that's not all. Right, Blaine? You got stuff from that level to weekend yard work. That's right. We got a little bit of everything from the everyday homeowner living inside of a subdivision all the way up to the big commercial guys with the bigger, larger excavators and bulldozers as well. But I mean, we rent lawnmowers, chainsaws, weed eaters all the way up to, you know, 60, 70, 80,000 pound machines. So a little bit of everything, a wide variety. We've got dump trailers, tractors with any implement you can think of on them. Skid steers, mini excavators with all the different cutter attachments, augers, grapples, just a wide variety of stuff. And you told me over time to the stand-on equipment, right? Because I was thinking about, like, why would somebody run something small like that, you know, take longer to get the job and you're like, "Does Sullivan, people working in their backyards?" Right? I mean, they got to be able to get in and out of the gate. So, yes, so we do have that smaller, you know, heavy equipment, but smaller to get in those tight areas. You know, they fit through four-foot gates and backyards. So if you've got any weekend projects, come by, see us, or give us a call. I'm sure we have something available to help you get those jobs done. Or if you're going to the hunt camp to go plant food plots, we've got tractors with just about any implement you can think of on them. All right, so that'd be the story of the show this weekend, and whatever you're doing, playing tell folks how to get by and check out the rental department, how they find you. We're right here in the middle of Robert Steele at Paris Tractor on Highway 59. Come by, see us Monday through Friday, eight to five, Saturday is eight till noon. Or give us a call at 251-947-4171. Thank you, Blaine. Thanks, Sean. All right, there he goes over anti-pairstractor in Robert Steele. I want to, let me just, if we get to April, Marie Fogel, stand by. She's going to join us in a second, but I got to read a few of these texts. I mean, there's a bunch came in after my discussion of the Mike Lindell story. It would get to some of it. So a name texture here said, you know, the name of that hurricane starts with H. So he's talking about Helene is what the storm will be called. It goes on to say Hitler started with an H, just something to think about. See, there you go. It's just the fact that they're naming this next tropical storm. Helene is a shout out to the neo-Nazis. Local rapper text in said, "Never underestimate the power of numbers. I still believe that two plus two equals two 22, thanks to the old church's chicken ad. I remember that to two plus two equals two 22." Okay, here's another person here, obviously in trouble, says, "Oh no, I was a Dale Jarrett fan." And he drove the 88 car laugh out loud. Yeah, T-bone shows me a picture where somebody got the 88 for Jarrett tattooed on him. And now he's like, "I accidentally got a hate symbol tattoo." This is the stuff I'm talking about. And we'll read this one, because I think Backstrap Stacker probably texted this in before I finished my rant. He said, "The Mike Lindell story is in line with the okay sign, a call to Nazis. What the heck's wrong with these libs?" That's the one I was telling Backstrap Stacker. I do that a lot. Like if the mics are on, like let's do this. Like April Marie Fogle joining us now on FM Talk 10065. Hey, April Marie. Hello, good afternoon. Good afternoon. So if you and I were in studio, we're in the same studio. And I'm trying to see if your like the headphone level is where you want it. Or do you want to take that call or say, "I'm running a show for you. Trying to figure out if we're going to go the break now." I use the okay symbol to be like, "Okay." Yeah. Like I kind of shrug my shoulders. Okay. Like here. Not because I like Nazis because I don't. Like, but I was told at five, six years ago you can't do that. That's a shout out to Nazis. I said, "I'm just saying okay." I don't... Here's the way to live your life, Sean. Just don't care. I okay my signal to my kids all the time. If I look across the room in a restaurant, I've sent my kids to get their own drink. Or I've sent them to do something. I'll do the okay symbol. And if someone takes my picture and calls me a Nazi because I did so, they can bite my butt. I just don't care. Right. It's like if you do anything and somebody attributes some kind of horrible thing to it, then you're guilty for the thing you did. I'm just doing the... I'm just saying okay. Here's the thing. It's gotten so bizarre in terms of... So, tell me the Lindell pillow thing because somehow I've been... Okay. Here it is. Usually you bring these... Right. Usually you bring these stories to me. And today's the one time the old man has one of these. But it was a New York Post story. It's talking about that... So, Mike Lindell... And I don't know. I mean, it's... He has some pillow that sells for like 50 bucks, 49, 98. I own one. It's not great. I mean, $50 for a pillow. Probably... I'm sure the text line will be like, "You're an idiot. You don't use an old pillow." I guess I don't know what they cost. But he's now... He does these ads. Maybe you've heard them or seen them. You know, where he has a commercial, where he interrupts his own commercial, did a new another commercial. And now he says, "Sleep like a dream with our standard My pillow for just $14.88." Well, then the web takes that. Even they quote something here from the Anti-Defamation League, which I mean really... Maybe they're... Maybe they're just using material that the ADL had out. I hope the ADL is not buying into this. That... Mike Lindell marking the pillow down to $14.88 means he's shouting out the Nazis, 'cause $88 is the... Here we go. The eighth letter of the alphabet is H. So, $88 means Hal Hitler. See, if I'm picturing the numbers 88, I'm thinking glasses or... I don't know. I'm not thinking Hal Hitler. I just... I don't know how people get there. I mean, if some jerk uses... Like, you know, I'm wearing a pair of Wrangler jeans right now. So, if some Nazi dude wears Wrangler jeans out there and I'm wearing Wrangler jeans, does that mean that I'm wearing them? Because given that he's shouting out the Nazis? Absolutely, clearly. That's the only way you could be right now. Here's the thing is the left is to come up with this nonsense, right? They just have way too much time on our hands. And if you could just imagine if they put that power to good use as opposed to sitting behind, you know, sitting on their keyboards, calling us names. Well, yeah, and I would say that... And by the way, I think Mike Lindell is a complete and total fraud and moron. And I said at the beginning of my rant, I said at the beginning of my rant, I'm not his biggest supporter. But I mean, when things are true, you know, I need to defend somebody, whether I'm a fan or not. You would have to really bring some evidence to me to tell me Mike Lindell is some kind of Nazi sympathizers. Oh, yeah. Hey, Wood said he was in the class of '88, graduating class of '88. So, that means he's a Nazi too. Nazi. You know the thing about dog... They call these dog whistles, right? Well, they're dog whistling this dog whistling that. You know what I can't hear is a dog whistle. It's too high pitch for me. I'm not listening for it. So, I just do my stuff, Sean Sullivan said, I can't... It's above my range to hear the dog whistle, so I don't think I get dog whistled. People here disagree? I lost you for a second there. No, I... It was too high pitched. I think that... Here's a problem in a world where everything is racist, right? And that's what the left wants to tell us. Every single thing we do is racist. And this is part of what goes into that DEI. Everything is Hitler racist, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then you really can't take on the actual racist, because I'd like to know who the real racist of my life is, so I can cut them out. But if you say the person who does the OK symbol, the person who's buying the Mike Lindell pillow, the person who's, you know, everyone is racist. And you're saying that. It's like the boy you called Wolf. How do I trust you when you spot an actual racist? Well, well said. You completely agree. I hadn't talked about this in years, but I think with so many statements about it, you diminish that. You diminish when you say, well, this is racist, or this is bigoted, and it's not. Then when people are doing real bigoted or racist things, they're like, yeah, yeah, there's just more of that same crap. Well, and you look at AL.com. I don't look at them often anymore. But if you look at J.D. Crow's cartoons, there is a noticeable number of times in which he puts Republican elected officials throughout the state include Trump's plan outfits. And so to me, if I see that, I go kind of roll my eyes like, oh, J.D. again, yet another Clark clan reference. But I don't look at that and go, oh, look, Barry Moore's actual racist or K.I. of these and actual racist, because he has put so many people so many times in clan outfits that he's taking the value of him saying that or drawing that. He's taken it away. It's a joke. And so no longer is it, oh, my gosh, what did that person do to get the clan outfit? No, it's just something he does because he thinks it's cute. Yep. And I wonder what he thinks about using that imagery that's so offensive, right? That he just uses it. And I've known, you know, I've known J.D. for years. I hadn't talked him a long time, but it seems bothersome that you would just use something that's offensive as like just your go to crutch in a, in an ad, I mean, or in a cartoon. I can't think of the single elected statewide member of Congress. I can't think that has not been put in a clan outfit by him or insinuated to be clan-ish by him. And in that to me is the meaning to the fact that they're probably, I don't know any. I'd have never heard everything but we see flyers every now and again pop up online with that people go, oh, I got this flyer, it takes away from the idea that we can universally agree to hate people who are full of hate. Absolutely. There we go. And problem solved. Now let's talk in things in a real world. And I've talked to Baldwin County Sheriff Anthony Lowry last hour. I was talking about what happened back here in May in Baldwin County. He had 18 shot 19. He pointed out in 19 shot and three dead. And that's immediately what I was thinking about when the melee, the blood-soaked melee is spelled out in five points over the weekend in Birmingham. These are numbers that come from war zones. 17 shot 18 shot. I mean, that's what we're talking about here. And the fact of the matter is some of these neighborhoods, some of these areas between some of these streets are war zones. They're the equivalent of that. So if you look at the four, and I was surprised by AL.com for reporting on this, but the police department and the mayor really wanted to get this out. Of the four who were killed, two, they believe were targeted. They know for sure one was, they think the second one might have been. Both of those individuals had beat charges for murder themselves. And so both of those guys, one, their witness was not available to testify, and I don't remember the outcome of the other. But essentially what they're saying is, these are gang bangers shooting gang bangers. And at the end of the AL.com article, there was a couple things that struck me. One of which was, there was a question about, should the city at large be afraid? And the mayor was like, no, they were going after a specific place. And one of the things he highlighted was that the reason they were gone after there is because the people who shot them knew that in order to get into that club, you had to be unarmed. They were searching you for weapons. So they came upon a scene of people they knew were going to be unarmed, and they slaughtered them. And what a horrific situation. And even equally as horrific to me is how quickly Democrats in the state pounced and wanted to use that for gun control. Yeah. And it's not that the actual tools of the murder spree aren't worth, you could mention. I mean, I'm not saying don't say they had guns, of course, I mean, be accurate. Say they had guns, but there's all kinds of guns through the city of Birmingham and Jefferson County that did not show up there and turn it into a blood soak melee. And what do you want to bet? Because I'm, you know, statistics show that the individuals who committed these crimes weren't lawful firearm owners in the first place. These are people who were likely felons. These are people, one of which had a Glock switch, we know that's not legal. And the problem here was not that the state has permit was carried. The problem here is that prosecutors repeat, they will arrest and then release lower charges, drop charges, and release again these individuals who are doing these horrific crimes at nauseam until they finally get something like this. And then they will prosecute them. But these guys have all been on the radar for a very long time. The gangmen who are involved include the victims and the people who the shooters. And we have a city who has just has really demonized. This is a leftist city. Mayor Woodson is, you know, during BLM told the cops to stand down while the statute was attempted to be taken down while businesses had their windows broken while all these things are going on. This is not a city that's favorable for law enforcement and now they are, we are. I say, we are, because I live here, we are reaping what has been sown with officers retiring, with not getting having enough on the street, with a lack of support, all of those things that make this worse. Yeah. And we come back. So, Mayor Woodson said, basically, don't worry, greater populace of Birmingham, because these people were gangbangers settling scores. So yeah. Okay. Because I want to point out what just happened here in Mobile this weekend, but has happened many times before, nine, another, another shot, nine year old shot will survive the injuries, although people try to push back like, oh, they, they weren't killed. They were just injured. If people seen people that had bullets go through them before and survives, but a nine year old shot, the nine year old was not, and we have the gang problem here. Nine year old was not gangbanging. The nine year old was in the house doing nine year old stuff, right, being a child. So a dirt bag, trying to shoot some other dirt bag or send a message or whatever, a shot somebody who was not a gang affiliated member at nine years old. So don't tell me that the only people have to worry about it are the gangbangers. We have more collateral stories, although if the gangbangers want to go out to Brookley Field here on the tarmac and shoot it out with no one else around, fine, get after it. But every other dang story, they're trying to kill the other person and they shoot people had nothing to do with it. We had a lady a couple years ago in church praying on her knees, caught a bullet. Yeah, and it is incredibly sad. And then here's one of the things that really does have Woodson fired up is the refusal to tell on people, the idea that you're a snitch and that you can know exactly who ruled that trigger, who shot that nine year old, who shot the 21 year old, who just celebrated their birthday for all the things and they will not tell on one another. And that's why they ended up in Birmingham making the reward as high as it is. It's a hundred thousand dollars now because they don't think they will get, even though everybody knows who it is, they don't think they'll be able to prosecute the person or people involved because the anti snitch, you know, way of life over here and it's incredibly frustrating because you're right, it is children, it is mothers, it is grandmothers, it is innocent people just trying to live their lives and are getting caught in the cross hairs here. Yeah, I got an idea here that if people would start, I mean, because if they don't snitch or there's not reports, what the solution is, is for them to go shoot the other group and make up for it. And this never ends and so the bad guys continue their battle to make up for it and the innocent people out there continue to reap the horrible harvest of this. Absolutely. And to stop it, there are so many things that have to be done to stop it but one of them is we stop vilifying our law enforcement and show them the respect that they deserve. We have to get more people on the streets and we have to get rid of the anti snitch culture and put away people with prosecutors who are going to actually prosecute and put them in jail because we have so many times, these people are known to the police and nothing is done. All right, people want to continue this conversation or others with you, how do they find you online? At April Marie, that's A-P-R-Y-L-M-A-R-I-E on Facebook and Twitter. All right, good stuff. I will talk again next week. Talk soon. Thank you. There she goes and we're coming right back. More midday mobile, third number text line 3430106. You're listening to midday mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM Talk 106-5. All Sean now at 3430106. By 2157 FM Talk 106-5 Midday Mobile, I'd have you along on this Tuesday. Get more updates from Dr. Bill Williams if we don't get some by this afternoon, we have one update already. We just got from a little bit ago on Helene, looks like it's heading to the Big Bend, but generally it's south of Tallahassee, St. Mark's, a lot of folks have been over there. That's where he thinks the landfall is and really, we pretty much just going to get some north winds around here, things are going to be good on our end. Of course, we will remember after the storm, do what we do around here. I know supply has been going over to Louisiana here recently, we'll do the same thing for friends in the Florida coast, if you're organizing efforts after that storm comes through, always let us know and get the word out to get supplies to people in need. It's going to be a category three, I think Dr. Bill says it's as strong as a three, if it's that, I mean, y'all know, we know what that means. Folks over there are going to need a lot of help. Also, if you're tuning in, I think it's on, Dalton was telling me, I think it's on Brett Bear. I think it's on Brett Show, if not, he can correct me. Katie Britt's going to be on there, Senator Britt, with Senator Fetterman together talking with Brett Bear, should be a must-watch thing, even if you have to go back and watch it on the YouTube TV, interesting. All fine bomb on the way next, we'll do it again tomorrow. Y'all have a great one. (upbeat music)
