Midday Mobile - Sean breaks down the latest Supreme Court ruling and John Sharp talks jubilees and fireworks - June 26 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 drink 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 ****. And here I thought I was ready to get started with today's Wednesday edition of midday mobile and everything laid out, ready to go. And then one last tab, you know, I'm famous for having many, many tabs open here as the stories we're going to talk about today. And I was over at the New York Post and we'll get to this in a second or later on the show about remember the other day we I said, hey, you know, it's probably not a great thing. I think I started this a few months ago when there's an Iranian assassin, an IRG assassin inside the United States, according to the FBI searching out former members of the Trump administration to kill them because the Soleimani hit. And I said, you know, did he come in through customs there at Atlanta? They flew into New Orleans. Now you don't think so. How do you think he got in the United States? Mate, just maybe did he walk across southern border? And then we had a story, you know, what, last week, maybe 10 days ago, confirmed six Isis, Isis relate like Isis K, like they walked on in as well. And now a headline from the New York Post of 400 migrants smuggled in the United States by the Isis affiliated network 50. There were about so unknown. But that wasn't the most shocking thing on the New York Post tab. I had opened a big trending now. I guess it's like the, the print version of the news sounder breaking news. Yeah, they do. And it's a gigantic picture of Janet Yellen. You know, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, if you wanted to put something in a funhouse that would scare me, which we'll reference this later on the show, I watched, because I'm dad of the year, the, the boy and I watched a man with the golden gun last night, forgotten how, I mean, bond movies, while I like them. They're always, you know, a little racy, but we were watching a man with a golden gun and, you know, had like the funhouse there where Scaramanga set up, you know, his one on one shoot out and they're like, Oh, it's a scary thing. And there's a picture of a Bobster. And then there, of course, the statue of James Bond to there. But if you were to make that funhouse to scare Janet, yeah, if I open the door, there's a gigantic picture of Janet Yellen there. I am, I'm dropping the, I'm dropping the pistol and running. I was going to say the, uh, Walter, but I wouldn't be shooting at all the, the Walter, a heck of a gun, but I'd be, you know, I dropped the HK 40 and run. If I saw the giant picture, like I just saw Janet Yellen here. All right. But that's, uh, you know, part of the show, uh, getting started here. I want to do, you know, often we'll do today in history on the show. So I want to put, point this one out as you go, uh, to, to buy things today. And maybe you go to a fancy store where a clerk scans your item or maybe you go into the new world that we're all living in where you scan your own item. Well, I met the big box hardware store the other day, you know, of course, with the hand scanner, as somebody watches over me, then this morning at a circle case store, they've got the, like the body scanner there. You put your stuff on the little table there and it scans and tells you, you know, how much it is, but the scanner brought to the market this day in 1974. So can you just, before this time, this sound was not ubiquitous. There was a time when people wouldn't have known what that sound was, but in 1974, the first item ever with a UPC barcode hit a supermarket in Troy, Ohio. Anybody, I'm going to give you like two seconds to guess. What was the item? Everybody got their guesses. What item was the first item ever with a barcode that, uh, in this supermarket in Troy, Ohio, I guess they had the little machine and they went and scanned the item. Where, where was that, uh, Troy, Ohio, what was the product? Anybody, anybody, a pack of chewing gum, specifically Wrigley's juicy fruit chewing gum became the first grocery item scanned with the universal product code or UPC. The result of years of scientific experiment, uh, experimentation and industry cooperation, the UPC barcode would go on to be well used beyond groceries to our checkout counter becoming ubiquitous feature of modern commerce. Just to work with somebody in radio who had suggested he was going to get a UPC barcode tattoo with all his information. So he could be, he could be scanned. Now it goes on the story to tell you a little more here. The first version of a barcode was drafted by the inventor Joe Woodland in the sand on Miami beach in 1949. He designed a pattern of thick and thin lines, arranged, co-incentric circles, readable by a scanner from any angle. He took inspiration for his design from the Morse code, but instead of communicating through dots and dashes, dashes, the barcode relate information through thick and thin lines. He applied for his patent for the invention in 1949, received his patent three years later in 1952. Then it took two decades to translate his idea into the functional barcode that you think about that two decades. You've got an idea that that is that hot. This is going to be this big thing. You get the patent and then you got to sit for 20 years on this idea of going, this is going to be big. This is going to be big and people probably telling you, yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. And then finally, on this day in 1974, a UPC code on a pack of Riggly's chewing gum was scanned and well, there is history. All right, so we'll get your text. Andrew calls at 3430106, 3430106. And we'll also get those talkback messages through the FM talk, 1065 app. All right, starting off Supreme Court. So we've been waiting. It's Supreme Court season, right? Supreme Court season when the decisions come down, they, they, they, they adjudicate, they judgeify, they read and write. And then they bring down from the mouth here, the, the decisions in late June. This from Fox News said the Supreme Court on Wednesday. That's today, you'll ruled in favor of the Biden administration and a challenge to its alleged coordination with social media companies, saying that the states who sued the administration lack standing. And this is why it's worth reading into stories beyond headlines. Cause you might have somebody out there that goes, ha, ha, see, what they were doing is just fine. Remember the times we talked about it on the show when I said you'd be watching a presser, Jen Psaki would be up there doing a press conference and say, and we'll get some Jen Psaki. I'm sorry, but we'll get some audio from Jen Psaki here a little bit. I know it's going to make people rich, but, um, and Jen Psaki was saying, well, we're not, we're not telling the social media companies what to do. We're not, we're not as the executive branch here telling these companies what they can and can't put on, on their sites. We're just making them aware of the people that are out there saying things we don't like, but not telling them they don't, they have to take them off. We're just making them aware and even way back then, remember going, I said, remember what that's like. You could look at it in a, in a friendly way. I think my parents used to preface it with Sean, a word to the wise. They would tell me a word to the wise, which wise I was, but it was, they would tell me something that not even specifically don't do it. They'd say, Hey, we think this is a bad thing. Right. In other words, you're on notice or the, the, the same idea, but with a little more teeth, it is go watch whatever mob movie you want to watch. They don't tell you they're going to burn down your sporting goods store. They just will tell you it'd be a real shame if that happened, right? Still word to the wise, just, you know, fires, you know how they are. They can just break out any point. That's exactly what the Biden administration was doing with their obsession with anybody speaking, anything but their narrative on COVID in the vaccine. They said, we're not telling the social media companies. They can't have these people on there. We're just making them aware of this. So further on the story from Fox news, it says the case, uh, Murphy versus Missouri stems from a lawsuit brought by state attorneys general from Missouri and Louisiana, and then accused of high ranking government officials working with giant social media companies, quote, under the guise of combating misinformation and quote that ultimately led to censoring speech on topics that included 100 Biden's laptop, COVID-19 origins and the efficacy of face mask. So remember what that sounded like way back when, uh, I told you, I gave you warning that we're going to do this. Let's go to what that sounded like way back when here is, here's Shinsaki. Shins, Alex, that we have taken or we're working to take, I should say, from the federal government, uh, we've increased disinformation research and tracking, uh, within the surgeon general's office, we're flagging problematic posts for Facebook, uh, that spread disinformation, we're working with doctors and medical professionals to connect, uh, to connected medical experts with popular, with popular, who are popular with their audiences with, uh, with accurate information and boost trusted content. So we're helping get trusted content out there. We also created the COVID-19, the COVID community court to get factual information into the hands of local messengers. And we're also investing, uh, as you all have seen in the presidents, the vice presidents and Dr. Fauci's time. Okay. Uh, whatever happened to the COVID core, it was like a AmeriCorps, but this is the COVID core. And I like the fact that they had a booster for information that Jen Saki had in, in that pressure. So this is what we're talking about this idea. And so many of the things that folks like me, and I'm not, believe it, I'm not the only one, the questions, those of us that were asking questions about mask mandates, about vaccines, that wouldn't, I didn't come out and say, don't get vaccines. I said, Hey, shouldn't we ask more questions here? I personally have making a decision that I'm going to wait for more information for my family. This is important to me, but people like me and people a lot bigger than me in this media landscape were shut down, called everything but a child of God for doing that probably by the COVID core, right? But the just opinion is one thing. People say, add that Sullivan. He's a cooke or way. That's just one thing. But when you have the federal government and the executive branch using strong arm tactics, like mafia tactics, to say, we're not telling you, you have to take those posts off of Facebook. We're just making you aware, Jen Psaki says in there, we were helping. We were helping. We were helping Facebook, like Facebook needs the Biden damn administration to be able to go through their data on their site. Like the, the nerds working at Facebook sure needs somebody from the Biden administration going, Hey, did you see the post there that says maybe the vaccine needs to be like they need those people, but they were offering their help to flag those posts. Now. In this decision, it was six, three, by the way, six, three with, with the question here, the Supreme Court, they do this quite a bit. And they follow and rule the law here. They said those states did not have standing. And we've heard that many times. And so the Supreme Court doesn't say the question asked. Was wrong. They said these people don't get to ask the question. Justice Amy Coney Barrett writing for the majority said the plaintiffs lack standing to bring their challenge. writes this, the plaintiffs, without any concrete link between their injuries and the defendant's conduct, ask us to conduct a review of years long communication between dozens of federal officials across different agencies with different social media platforms about different topics. It says the court's standing doctrine prevents us from exercising such general legal oversight and quote. So when you say when people come out and say, well, say the Supreme Court, Sean, they, they, they agree that was fine. They didn't. I don't know how they would come down on that. They said, y'all don't have standing. Attorneys general, uh, Missouri and Louisiana, y'all don't have standing. The vote was 63, a leado dissenting. He's probably busy dealing with his wife. Uh, and, uh, it also, just as Clarence Thomas and you'll, of course, it's for the three disentings. Coney Barrett went on to write the plaintiff's claim standing based on direct censorship of their own speech as well as their right to listen to others who face social media censorship. Goes on to say, notably these, uh, both theories depend on the platform's actions, yet the plaintiffs do not seek to enjoin the platforms from restricting any poster accounts. They seek to enjoin government agencies and officials from pressuring or encouraging the platforms to suppress protected speech in the future. But once again, they, I don't, if you read through this decision, I really think it was the, hey, bring me another case. Maybe we will see this. Well, I don't know. No, I'm not going to just bring us another case. I don't know if they're saying how they would see it, but bring us another case. This should be one of the top talking points out there. And I know, you know, we look at the headlines on cable news right now. That's probably not. But you talk about the way propaganda is run. You talk about manufacturing consent out there when the federal government, the executive branch takes a company and says, Hey, just want to make you aware of something that's exactly what they're doing. This is midday mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM talk one oh six five. Right. 2024 FM talk one oh six five midday mobile. Good to see you all along on this Wednesday. What do we, uh, a week out and just a little over, yeah, a little over week out from Independence Day, which by the way, one of our buddy, John Sharp joins us here in just a little bit, uh, we'll have some discussion of fireworks. Yeah, it's so I run through the valley of the fireworks on the way home every evening out on, uh, on airport Boulevard. And, uh, you know, they've been ramped up for a while here. It's now peak season for the fireworks and, uh, we'll go through the, I know, people start shooting them real early. When can you shoot them legally and not in the city mobile? Remember they changed that ordinance or actually had an ordinance going forward last year. We'll talk about that in just a little bit. Also, uh, from the text line here, uh, let's see. David said, uh, did the barcode guy make any money off his patent 20 years about how long it would take to expire and people would have been able to use it without paying for it. I don't know that, but I do know this and we could maybe Google this guy and see if he should have made a, he should have made a killing. You're trying to make a living, I want to make a killing, uh, but the inventor of this who, who drew this there in the sand, uh, Joe Woodland on the beach in Miami, 1949 did get pushed back from a different, a couple of different places on this. Uh, the, you know, the companies are like, yeah, we don't want to institute this. Also you read in the, uh, story about the barcode. It said, uh, new barcodes and scanners and grocery stores garnered mixed reaction from shoppers. Some thought the lines and numbers. So the barcode represented the mark of the beast from, uh, from revelations. So there were some people that were saying they would not use the barcode because they thought that was the mark of the beast. Ricky, by the way, open text line for you at this point, too. If you went three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, Ricky, uh, bark of the beast is the barcode. And that also from the text line, uh, texture said, but it is effectively legal. Although I think talking about the Supreme Court decision, it is effectively legal. You're correct. They did not stop it in the Supreme Court decision. And by, and maybe another case comes in front of them and they, they decide that it's fine for the administration to do that. But what Supreme Court came back with, what they do often is say, Hey, these people can't show a direct link to harm. But I think it should be, could we have a class action? Can we class action the Supreme Court? You talking about having standing, but you know, you have these class action lawsuits and civil tort out there, civil liability, uh, cases. Should we have the same? Because I believe every American is affected by that and has standing. The federal government had their narrative. They had their propaganda. And so instead of just winning the argument, which they couldn't, but just winning the argument, cause that to me, that's the solution to speeches that you think is what they call misinformation or disinformation. Well, then give the other information, make a better case. No, it was to shut down that communication out there, but they couldn't do it directly. No, the people be up in arms. So they didn't go and, you know, shut down the account, the, you know, they didn't give the Facebook login to the folks at the White House to shut down anybody who is questioning the vaccines or mass mandates or arbitrary distance and all that. No, they just made Facebook aware and other social media sites aware of these posts. Well, come on, a wink is a nudge, right? I mean, really it's like the Godfather, he doesn't say you're going to burn down your store. He just says it'd be a damn shame if it happened, right? You know how fires are. They just break out anywhere and understand that federal government has some control of the protections and we were discussed at that point that protect content on social media. So I think the under, you know, the part unsaid, unless it was said, was that it'd be a damn shame if we pull back your protection social media platforms on, on speech on there. I think this is a bigger, a way bigger deal. Obviously I do, because I was talking about it back then still talking about it. Now, this is soft censorship. It is soft censorship by the government that, Hey, just want to make you aware that what people are saying on your, on your website there, you need just be, be aware of it. All right, let's see. Gene, here we go. Gene said more than a million people died. Even people you knew Dalton and Jeff poor were encouraging doubts in their audience, which were most in danger of getting COVID. So what do you say? So more than a million people died. Even people you know, yeah, Gene, you're referencing my very good friend and co-worker or any rapper, absolutely. So what does that mean to you, Gene? That I, I know someone personally, although most people don't know anybody that died directly at COVID, but I do. At the same time, should I sign on for the federal government to censor the speech of American people? Gene, no. I believe in individual liberties, not just self-serving speech. Maybe ought to take a tour around that track once or twice, Gene. Coming right back more of midday mobile, John Sharp joins us next. This is midday mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM Talk 1065. At 1235 FM Talk 1165 to end midday mobile going to have you here on this Wednesday, we'll get to my buddy, John Sharp, in just a minute here. What do I kind of revisit what we talked about as we went into the break? So Gene was saying, you know, basically, how dare I challenge the idea of the executive branch putting a heavy thumb on social media companies back then saying, hey, we're just making you aware. We're just going to show you some posts that you need to be aware of that disagree with where we are with vaccine policy. And then so Gene says more than a million people died. And we can, Gene, I don't have time to go through the whole. How many people were co-morbidities? How many things were flagged? You know, I had the people on the show that were doing it back then. I said, hey, if you had COVID and gotten a car wreck and were killed, they said, yeah, we'd qualify that as a COVID death. So Gene, that was a thing that was going on. So I don't even get into numbers here. But yes, I had a very good friend of mine die from this. And I still have my beliefs. It's I think that's what's hard for people to understand that I can have a personal connection to this and still say, the federal government was censoring a soft censorship, but they were. And that was the question from the Supreme Court. Supreme Court said they, the attorney's general, Missouri and Louisiana didn't have standing, but they didn't make a judgment on the question. And then David says, has FM talk one of six, five ever been censured on, censored on social media, we have, we have indeed. That was, it's happened and, you know, well, for a variety of things, funny is reposting stories from elsewhere that, you know, how it's inefficient. There was one that got us reposting a story that the original people that put the story out, and it wasn't even some kind of business story or something, it wasn't even anything hot. And the people that posted the story in the first place didn't get removed from Facebook, but we did. And then we got like put in Facebook jail, it would, or, or we were given a plane ticket and told a return for a court date with Facebook. We got out of it. I teach Jesus says hundreds of millions got COVID and didn't die. Tens of millions lost their ability to make a living. Seemed like that dude say scott plant that with us gene. And I don't want to, I think Jean is a woman, but I do not want to miss gender anybody here. So I don't want to get it. And then this last one here, and then we'll come to the restroom. But, you know, it's prodigal son. So the, uh, the texts that are, that are saying something's wrong here. I want to go to first, uh, this text or unnamed texture says Sean is receiving government subsidies, flood insurance. The same thing is welfare for people who live on the coast or purchase houses on the coast and live on the river, knowing that one day it'll flood. Whoever you are in named texture wrong. I don't have flood insurance. I don't live on the coast. I live on the coast. I live coastal, but I do. I live on the water. No. And if where I live floods, well, then better start looking for the second coming. So there you go. All right. Uh, to the phones and to my friend, John Sharp, who's got his head in his hands going, God bless Sullivan brings me into this stuff. Uh, but once again, Hey, it's john sharp for me. Go.com. Hey, man, Hey, Sean, how are you doing? Oh, man, I'm good. I'm good. I'm in my happy place. Uh, first up here, first up on the list, uh, this is a story you not talked about last week. And I remember going, Hey, john, why is this story so big nationally? Uh, it was the story of the guy throwing the tools through this house right through the windows of the house. And you said, well, it's because this guy on TikTok picked it up, right? That took it big time. This, uh, this story from mobile, but it was kind of a national or viral story. Yeah, that's correct. You know, power social media, I suppose, you know, it was picked up by a guy who was quite a following on TikTok. He goes by the name, Tizzy. And, uh, you know, it has more than six million followers. That's a good number. Yeah, pretty good. And, uh, yeah, it had over 9,000 comments on this, uh, video that, uh, mobile police provided. I believe it was a lot of week ago, the rain camera video from a house in Westmobile, this man that, um, it was hard to identify. You know, you couldn't see the face particularly, but you can make it out that it wasn't a teenager. But yeah, this man tossed in a wrench through the, uh, uh, front glass door and shattering it. And, uh, so this was the second incident occurred at this house and, you know, spread a little fear, you know, this unknown element, the residents there. You know, they weren't the type that I have, uh, controversial signs or flags, flying, or anything like that. Uh, so, you know, they didn't believe it had anything to do with politics or, or anything controversial. But, uh, yeah, there was a rest made yesterday and, and come to find out. This guy has, uh, you know, there's an aim out there now and, uh, 45 year old man, James Edward Kelly, a mobile. And, uh, he's claiming to the police that, you know, this was a case of mistaken identity, somebody else lived in this house that wasn't living there. And, uh, but at any rate, it's still not okay. It's still not a, okay, if you had some beef, but it is before you take vet, like, so people who before you take vengeance out and vandalize a property, maybe just check if who's living there, you got to do your research, right? Well, we're trying to dive into the criminal mind and sometimes you just can. So has law enforcement officials will say often. So, uh, yeah, that's, uh, you know, not. So yeah, he's arrested. He's facing charges of criminal mischief or at least one count of it, uh, because of the, uh, the camera that was installed, the ring cameras are good. Kudos to the, to the homeowners to get that installed. They were able to track this guy down. Otherwise, uh, you know, it could be, you know, police could still be on the search for him. Yeah. It's one thing, you know, you buy a house and, uh, and you end up getting the mail from the previous owners for years or forever, right? Where you're on some mailing list and you're getting circulars or whatever addressed to those people. That's one thing I can deal with that having to take, you know, stuff, address them and put it in the trash can, but having somebody you think I, you know, the previous owner is me and throwing ranches through the window. That's, I guess there's got to be a way to maybe we check it, you know, when you go to buy a house, say, Hey, is there anybody that has a vendetta against you? Can we get that clear at closing here? You know, I, I could speak to this because the house, we're, we're living, we're the second owners of it and the previous owner and, you know, we were still getting, uh, bills, some years later sent to us and I'd, we'd be, uh, sending them back to send her. So yeah, you know, weird things happen sometimes. You've got to handle it. I don't, well, we have a little time for it, uh, just to be aware at our, uh, rental property that they, uh, at the city, they got the address. It was a house that was like three houses down from our rental property. It was like a, a blight, you know, a place that had a tree come through it. They didn't fix it and all that, but they had our addresses mixed up. I was getting court summons and I mean, all official documents that threatened me, you know, every, I'm like, I don't own this house and they would just keep sending them until I went like to the mattress for this thing and said, I don't, and they said, Oh yeah, well, that's not your address. Is it so bad letters? Right. I don't think it's uncommon either to get the old cell phone calls, either not necessarily to the, to the US now, but the cell phone calls for people wanting, you know, uh, wanting to track down so and so because they owe a bill and you're like, well, wait a minute here. That's not, you got the wrong number, but they still call you back. You know, so it's kind of like, uh, what's going on here? So yeah, you can be kind of alarming, you know, this mistaken identity thing, but, uh, yeah, nobody's, uh, running around positive wrenches through front doors. I don't think that's, that's, uh, highly unusual, Sean. So there's the, so just always just check who owned the house before y'all, uh, if before these things happen. All right, uh, you're writing about a story and I've talked about this many times for the last couple of weeks, uh, we even kind of delved into it on the outdoors show as well, uh, but the law enforcement and a specific, uh, person as well, uh, surrounding a Jubilee and somebody who had way over the limit, had undersized fish, didn't have a fishing license started a talk here, right? Uh, about, I guess politics are getting into what I think is, you know, the, the, the wildlife management world. Uh, this is all about Jubilees and, and you, you got some quotes here from Chris Blankenship, commissioner of a DCNR, uh, about this, that, that these fish are not all dying in a, in a Jubilee and there's no reason to just take them, you know, because they actually are fall under the regulation of the state. Yeah, you're correct. I mean, you sum it up well. I mean, I, I had a chance to talk to the commissioner of Blankenship. Who is from this area, by the way, uh, and he's been the, uh, Department of Conservation Natural Resources, commissioner for the last two governors, Bentley and Ivy. So he's been around for a while and I thought, well, you know, he was a peep, made an appearance at an event yesterday in Fair Hope, uh, to commemorate the, um, uh, the beginning of the construction of a pre heatless forest, uh, preserve that's being built in, in Fair Hope at the, at the dias triangle. And that's another story for another time. But I got a chance of asking this question, you know, because it hasn't, there's been a lot of media attention on it. And, um, yeah, I asked him, you know, can set the record straight on that. That's where we at right now. And, you know, he basically said, would you just summed up, you know, there are bag limits. We placed these limits in, you know, about five years ago, especially in with flounder, because we're having critical limits, critical numbers, uh, their stock assessments were alarming. So they, you know, adjusted their limits and it had applied for everything, including Jubilee's and I, I, uh, went back and, you know, it's been some editorials written on one that's recent as August and, uh, of last year that, uh, says, hey, you know, these restrictions are in place even during Jubilee events, even though, you know, it might not be on the top of people's mind when they're at an event, but, uh, that they, they are to be, um, adhered to. And apparently this past, this last Jubilee that we're talking about occurred over Father's Day weekend and it lasted longer than the typical one and went into the daylight, daytime hours and then, um, it was that week leading in. I know that, uh, Wednesday of that week is when, by, you know, the coconut telegraph started popping off my phone that morning I was laying in bed and, uh, my eastern shore people are like sending me pictures. They look at this, look at this and, uh, it was the first of the year and it's exciting and everything. But John, when we get to go fishing, when I come pick you up at your house and we'll launch over there Mayday or whatever and go fishing, we have to abide by size and creole limits for flounder if we're sitting in a boat right off where the Jubilee happened, you know, that that's my rub with it that people say, what doesn't matter when it's a Jubilee. You're correct. I mean, you have to buy by the, by the rules, the regulations. He's been in place since 2019. So they're not brand new. They've been around for a little while now. Um, according to commissioner of, uh, Blankenship, the numbers on flounder are increasing. They feel like what they've done has, has been beneficial, um, whether or not that, that limit increases as well in, in the, you know, the coming year or two. I don't, I don't know, but, uh, he felt like, you know, things are looking up on that. However, we, we have these rules in place and people are going to fall on. That was his comments. That's, you know, I'm just relaying that, uh, that's where he stands. Um, and yeah, he says, you know, this isn't just a big giant fish kill. That's a, uh, dead fish laying all over, uh, the eastern shore after they, hey, Jubilee, you know, it's, it's a natural event and, and, uh, and that is that, you know, it's not just come one foot, one, come and serve all. And, you know, back in the day, many, many, many generations of, oh, yeah, that'd be a good way to feed the family for weeks on end. But close days are long over with. But there's more, there's more people on all the things in the outdoors. I mean, I believe me, I'm a, I got a dog in the hunt. I like to catch a box of fish. I like to eat fish or keep fish, but there's, it's not just me, right? There's, there's so many other people out there, uh, that are doing the same thing. So yeah, there has to be their job is to man it. And this is what worries me. I know this is not what your story's about, but their job is to manage the resource, right? That belongs to the people and, and at the same time, political is out there. And, uh, and hopefully I have some on the show. People I have good opinions of, uh, but they're hearing from their constituents that there shouldn't be a rule on it and they should do away with those rules. But that's politics over trying to go over what the science is for keeping the fish stocks up. It's, you know, DC and R has a job. Their job is not to be popular. Their job is to make sure their speckle trout red fish flounder, you know, for us to catch. Going forward. Yeah. And the popular red snapper, their season for that is just not a year round, you know. Oh, that's because of the feds. That's a whole other story. But yes. Well, but you know what I'm saying is restrictions on, on everything, I guess, you know. So, uh, I don't, I don't know if there is on shark catches, but, uh, there is pretty, is pretty tight. Actually, yeah, right. Well, you know, there isn't on, yeah, in great white shark catches too, you know. So, uh, but yeah, I mean, you know what, you know, it is, I mean, just, these are the restrictions. These are, this is what's going on. It applies for any kind of, uh, type of fishing that you're looking at, including jubilee fishing, I guess, whatever they occur if you're lucky enough to experience one. So, uh, yeah, that's, uh, that's, you know, that's what commissioner, uh, blanking ship relayed to me yesterday. And, um, you know, again, this is a guy from Mobile. He's not somebody from Northern Alabama trying to, to restrict, uh, the fisheries here on the Gulf. So, you know, that, that's to be noted as well. Yeah. Well, this is, you know, I pointed out about, he's been a guest on the show on the outdoor show. Don't hold it against him, but he and I have known each other since we were 15, 16 years old. He's a South Mobile guy. Uh, he's, so yeah, he's in it. John, people want to read these stories and more. How do they find you? Um, on X at John Sharp 99. John has always been, I appreciate it. Let me ask you this as we close out too, because I was going to talk about this next hour, but you're a good person to discuss this. Because we are just what a week and a day away from Independence Day, right? Well, that's correct. That's right. That's your correct. Yeah. Yeah. And so we are a week away, the way I remember you and I talking about it before and you wrote the story, we're just a week away from legal fireworks shooting in the city of Mobile. You remember the, the ordinance, the Mobile City Council pushed where, you know, I said, the things we believe were true for our lives have been ripped asunder. You know, always thought you could not shoot fireworks in the city of Mobile. I think that's what mom and dad told me. I may or may not have violated that law. Um, but then looking into it, there wasn't this ordinance. So the city council goes in and makes an ordinance. And now we do have legal, I guess, starting July 3rd, we can legally shoot off the fireworks. And that's correct. Again, follow the rules and the ordinances and the regulations. And please don't fire the guns in the air. My goodness. But yeah, that's, uh, so these are some of the things that people need to adhere to them. Okay. So remember, because, and you can go, if you go on, you can google it or go to AL.com. You see John's story from last year discussing the city council and the ordinance. Now that says there are exemption days, uh, that July 3rd and 4th and December 31st and January 1st for shooting fireworks. That doesn't mean they won't start in my neighborhood this weekend, but there's law. Yeah, that's true. And, but I'm not, you know, I got to go back and look at that. Cause I'm not sure what time that actually starts on the third, you know. Yeah, you got to check. Yeah, another story out that, uh, councilman pen is, uh, promoting, uh, got a noise ordinance. He wants to move back from 10 to nine o'clock at night for the news noise ordinance. So, okay, gotcha. Well, I was at a summer campus past week and it was lights out at 10. So I know, and these were all little kids running around. So it's how that, how that worked, John. How'd that work? Well, given the heat of the day and getting to the camp around, uh, nine 30 or so. Yeah, I was out by 10 o'clock, no problem. Let's talk about the kids. Both everyone else was. Okay, I was talking about the kids. Yeah, they were clocking out. Yeah, super quiet. All right. Well, good for you, John. Appreciated brother. Have a happy, uh, happy weekend. Happy Independence Day. We'll talk soon. All right, John. Thank you. There he goes. Camp dad, little one. Great journalist, John Sharp, right here on mid-game, but we don't work on the right back. [Music] This is mid-day mobile with Sean Sullivan on FM Talk 1065. [Music] At 1254, FM Talk 1065, mid-day mobile. Yeah, I went to stay a week out from legal fireworks shooting in the city of Mobile. We get time next hour, too. There's a story up about Councilman Corey Penn saying, "The noise ordinance needs to go from 10 to, I think, 9 at night during weekdays." Corey Penn, you just sound like an old man, and I agree. It should be 5.30 in the afternoon, right? Get off my lawn while you're at it, kids. All right, to the text line here, my friend, Supermom says, "Remember when the Facebook fact checkers took over Facebook during COVID and would remove the content that differed from government opinion and/or label statements or meme some true? I do, as do I, Supermom. I mean, it's soft censorship." It was an interesting question from the Supreme Court. They said, "Well, come back, because y'all don't have standing in this." And it's not unprecedented. You have to show up a harm in a case, and I think they said the Attorney General, Missouri, and Louisiana, did not. A name texture here said, "Amen, Sean. My husband died in 2020 from COVID, but I agree with you 100 percent." Well, I appreciate that, and I'm sorry, sorry for your loss. Again, those of us that lost loved ones, your friends, during COVID, at the same time, doesn't mean that the government has the right to censor speech out there that they disagree with. I mean, if people don't see the danger in that, I don't know how you can't. Dan Manki says, "Everyone's been censored on social media. Why even ask the question?" Facebook's lost about 10 percent of their membership. The other things for us, Dan Manki, is like, "When I put something up, I'm going to research it. I have an obligation. I have a job to do here to bring facts as best as I can do it." And then when I'm saying it's a fact, I'm bringing you a fact, when I say it's my opinion, I tell you it's my opinion, or you can tell it's my opinion. But it was funny. One thing that I remember distinctly is reposting like a business story, and Lianna could probably remind me what it was. The original creator of the story, they didn't get paying for it, but we did. It's crazy. It's one of the things that there's no phone number you can call there for Facebook to argue your point, just to sit in limbo and purgatory, right? When I get all this, looking through here and people get angry about my opinions on this, it was the old thing dad used to say, "If you're catching flack, you must be over the target," something like that. Joshua says, "Don't care," oh, talking about the Jubilee things, "don't care still a D move on the law enforcement side concerning the Jubilee." So Joshua, you and I will disagree. I have several friends I met odds with. We still be friends, but I'm at odds with. So Joshua, I have friends that agree with you, and I disagree with you and my buddies. Y'all are all wrong. Oh, this text you're coming back who had said about the flood insurance thing, said, "Hey, I was asking about flood insurance. I never said that you do that." Okay. What he's trying to say is Sean was a lot of talk. Sean was a lot of talk. Your talk show host on this radio station complained about government being involved, receiving handouts. I was just bringing up a lot of people who build these houses on the river, on the beach, receive government handouts. I talked about it all the time, Tester. Talked about it many, many times. The people, you ask them, "Yeah, they're against handouts, but then, well, for this thing or the other thing, they're for it." That's factual. Adam says, "Sean, I agree with states regulations applying to Jubilee's, but frankly, I never even thought about it before." Okay, that's fair. All right, and it said, "Sean, you're a history guy, but when did it become acceptable to celebrate America by shooting Chinese fireworks?" When the founding fathers said so, we'll talk about that coming up.
