Speaker 1 (01:13):
Thank you, it says the Uncle Henry Show here on
news radio seven to ten WNTM. Thank you so much
for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it
(01:34):
very very much. Here we are together once again, me
and you trying to figure out what is going on
in the world around us. We've got a lot to
talk about at every level of existence. I'm gonna start
off today with the Mobile City Council meeting. There was
a Mobile City Council meeting today. Lots and lots of
(01:55):
stuff going on today. If you like. You know, some
people them may love politician hot air. Oh, there was
a lot of it today. You're going to be very
pleased because there was a lot of politician hot air.
In fact, if you're a real municipal government type of
nerd person that likes municipal government nerd stuff, you can
(02:17):
just go on YouTube this evening watch the city council's
pre council meeting. You got all kind of hot air there.
Then you got the council meeting itself with lots of
politician hot air in the city council meeting, and then
they had a public safety meeting. All of this is
on YouTube. You can have hours. I challenge anyone to
stay awake through all this if you've got trouble sleeping. Now,
(02:40):
I'm not saying they're not in discussing important stuff. They
are discussing very important stuff. Big topic today public safety. Also,
it's always a big topic when they're spending your tax dollar.
But if you do on a serious note, if you've
got an insomnia issue, you got a solid three hours plus.
I think today of municipal government on YouTube. You can
(03:00):
just find a way to set that up and play.
And I think within the second hour easily, you'd be
asleep if you were to get this on your YouTube
this evening if you want to know what happened at
today's Mobile City Council meeting. Great coverage. My favorite coverage
of the council is with Lanyap, the newspaper Lamyak Mobile
(03:24):
dot com as the website Lamyapmobile dot Com. And they
talk about how the council wanted updates on anything involving
the violence we've had recently. You're aware of the numerous
incidentss at Sage Park, Langham Park, parking lot of the
publics in midtown. Just council wanting to know about cameras
(03:47):
and things like that. And I believe there was a
there's an effort to move three hundred thousand dollars from
one one part of the city to another to address
cameras having more cameras. Now Fox ten they just had
their their frequently disheveled reporter Brendan Kirby covering this story,
(04:09):
and I thought he'll do a way better job than
I would do, So let's listen together. Here's Brendan Kirby
wearing a suit jacket about a size too big, talking
about what happened today at the council meeting involving public
safety and cameras.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
The process will take both time and money. The city
Council is considering a proposal to transfer three hundred thousand
dollars from the Police Department's Support Services Division to the
Public Safety Administrative That'sman Cameron.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Or police patrols, and a major effort to expand and
upgrade the city's surveillance camera network.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Let's bring in our Brendan Kirby, who has more on
what's being proposed now, Brendan, the surveillance camera overhaul, that's
a big task.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
It is Lindis and Cameron Public Safety Director Rob Lasky
says that the process will take both time and money.
The city Council is considering a proposal to transfer three
hundred thousand dollars from the Police Department's Support Services Division
to the Public Safety Administrative Division. That's money that would
be used to buy new surveillance cameras.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
And now think think about it, like, man, this could
have happened to anyone just being out there.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Mobile City Councilman Corey Penn still shaken by the shooting
that killed twenty eight year old Fernika Craig and injured
a man as they were playing basketball in Sage Park
on April seventeenth. It happened just two weeks after another
shooting frightened parents and children at Langen Park. No arrests
had been made in either case, and in both cases,
(05:35):
surveillance cameras were either not functional or not recording. Rob Laski,
Executive Director of Public Safety, told council members Tuesday that
the city plans to move about nine hundred and fifty
city owned cameras into the Public Safety Administrative Division over
the next several months or even years.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
We're going to start with the three hundred and twenty
three hundred and thirty from parks and rex which are
located in the parks and the community centers, of which
those we know about sixty four are not working. So
our main goal is to try to triadge those cameras,
get them working, or at least get them recording.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
The city owns about fifteen hundred cameras, around five hundred
and fifty year controlled by the Mobile Police Department or
the Gulf Coast Technology Center. The remaining nine hundred and
fifty years spread across three different departments and run on
eight different operating systems. The long term goal is to
link them all to one system. The three hundred thousand
(06:32):
dollars up for a vote next week would fund new
static cameras, as well as point, tilt and zoom cameras
that can be repositioned remotely, but Lasky cautions that even
working cameras wouldn't have prevented violence.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
They would not stop the shooting whatsoever. Cameras don't stop
bullets if the perpetrators have to happen to walk in
through the frame. And if those cameras are good enough,
we could use it, we could use it to help
identify them. However that it would not have stopped them
in any way.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Councilman pen is calling for more officers, more cameras, and
better signage alerting people that they're being watched. He also
voiced frustration over state laws that prohibit the city from
banning guns in public parks.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Private business can say you can't have a firearm, but
a public park where kids and enjoying theirself, we can't
do the same. We have to figure this out, guys.
It's bigger than people just having rights to bear arms,
which I.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Support, Director Lasky says this, by the.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Way, when people talk about gun control, they always support
your right to bear arms.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
The city is also pushing for more visible police presence
that includes using summer traffic enforcement grants to pay for
additional overtime, and he says that the police force is
close to its authorized strength and that the city is
looking to increase the size of the force over the
next budget cycle. For putting live in the news center,
Brendan Kirby Box ten News.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You heard about all the cameras there, that they're trying
to figure out how to get them all to work together.
Sounds like a quite a tech issue you heard in
the story if you were paying close attention. I think
all these hundreds of cameras, eight different operating systems, trying
to get them all to work together. And at one
point in the I think it was in the Public
(08:21):
Safety committing meeting today, or it might have been the
pre council meeting. I can't remember because there's so many meetings.
One of the meetings, though, the Public Safety Director Laski
said that each camera costs between three and four three
grand and forty five hundred bucks, and the fiber optic
(08:42):
cable cost about twenty seven dollars a foot to install,
but at what price? Public safety? More Uncle Henry Show

(09:24):
Radio seventy ten WNTM. It is five twenty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes. If a doctor called the
Uncle Henry Show, if you'd like to share something, maybe
you'd like there's a topic you wish would be discussed.
Two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
(09:46):
It's two five one four seventy nine two seven two
three email address Uncle Henry ad iHeartMedia dot com. That's
Uncle henridiheartmedia dot com. Now the last segment of the show.
I let you know that the the public safety was
a big topic at today's Mobile City Council meeting. A
lot of discussion of cameras and other things that can
be done in the community because of the recent violence
that we've had in the community. There were some other
(10:08):
things talked about at the Mobile City Council meeting. Briefly,
I will share with you a couple of these things. Now,
last week, I believe it was Thursday. I talked about
how it was such a wonderful coincidence for Mobile City
Council President CJ. Small that a housing development was named
(10:31):
after him, and they had a groundbreaking last week for it,
naming a housing development after cjs an affordable housing development
after CJ. Small, calling it CJ. Small Heights, And I mentioned,
how what a happy, wonderful coincident. It is coincidence. It
is that there's an election coming up in just a
(10:51):
few months where he's running for re election and just
coincidentally there's a housing project named after him, which is
kind of an advantage if anybody else is running against him.
I don't know if they are, but it's nice to
be the incumbent, isn't it. When you're running for office
and you can have something like a housing development named
(11:12):
after you, it's a happy coincidence. Well, today, Sabrina mass,
a citizen activist, brought up the naming of buildings and
things when she was talking to the Mobile City Council.
If you want to see her entire speech, it's on YouTube.
Here is what she said about getting buildings named after you.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
So I have no problem with people naming buildings after them.
That's fine if that's what you want to do. I
just know Historically, many buildings in the United States of
America even abroad, have been named for figures that had
civil rights movements, community deep involvement for years and years,
some even after death and their demise and their accomplishments.
(11:57):
So now we're just naming buildings for our friends and
our foes. It ain't one out to meet, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Thank Sabrina mass thank you for bringing that up. I'm
glad that you did. It is a again, what a
what a happy coincidence it is or Council President Small
that do have something named named for him there right
before a vote. That's just just just a nice little
perk of being in office. Now, let's see. Also, this
(12:25):
is also very brief from today's Mobile City Council meeting.
Councilman Ben Reynolds says something that I love. I wish.
I wish that all of the city council people felt
the way I do about infrastructure and having streets paved
and maintained properly, which they have not been in the
city of Mobile. Here is Mobile City Council and Ben
(12:46):
Reynolds on my favorite topic.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
I want to say thank you to my fellow council
members and this administration. I learned this morning that over
the past five years we have spent over sixty three
million dollars and resurfacing our streets, and that we are
sort of teed up for the next five years to
do even more than that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We're teed up everybody.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
And I want to appreciate. I want to just say
thank you to everybody who's played a part in that,
and I hope that we can continue this trend of
addressing these legacy infrastructure problems throughout our city. Thank you,
mister President.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
All right, that is thank you keep bringing it up.
And uh, don't forget to throw in a thank you
to the to the taxpayer that is paying very high
sales taxes, just praying that before they die, their street
get repaired. All right again, Uh, let's see two five,
one four seven nine two seven two three the telephone number.
Speaker 11 (13:42):
One more.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I've got one more thing from the council meeting before
other topics we'll be discussed. Uh, the National Day of Prayer,
I believe is Thursday of this week. Here is Mayor
Standy Simpson talking about what the City of Mobile is
going to do with National Day of Prayer this year.
Speaker 12 (14:04):
Also one of announced everybody that and invite all Mobilians
to a pair of very special events this Thursday, May first.
We'll be partnering with the National Day of Prayer Foundation
and the Alabama National Day Prayer Task Force. We have
(14:24):
two services in honor of the National Day of Prayer.
I want to be a sunrise service at six am
at Brookly by the Bay.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
All right, sunrise service six am Brookly by the Bay
on the National Day of Prayer.
Speaker 12 (14:38):
And the second one to be a sunset service at
six pm at Brookly by the Bay.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Very nice six pm. I won't be able to make
that one because I'll be here.
Speaker 12 (14:47):
The doors open, the gate actually opens to the park
and one hour before the event starts, so gates open
at five am and five pm. And the National Day
of Prayer is really prayer for our community, being one
of the most maybe one of the best settings we
(15:09):
have in the city for something like this. Pastor Joe
and Linda Johnson will be leading it along with Pam
Haynes's ministries through several musical performances. I want to thank
everybody that I had something to do with this. I
would be quick to tell everybody that I would contribute
(15:31):
the majority of the success of our administration over the
last eleven and a half years has been a result
of prayer. And thank you, Thank you to all the
people who have been praying and will continue to pray.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Very good. All right, glad to hear that National Day
of Prayer this Thursday with services at Brooklyn by the
Bay at six am and six pm. Let's see before
we go to break, let me take this, see if
I can get a caller on here.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Cliff, Cliff, you are alive on the radio.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
Oh, Henry, Yeah, on the Bayway. What are those tilings
being put down next to the bridge?
Speaker 14 (16:17):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (16:17):
They seem like they put in concrete pilings and stuff. Okay,
is that for a new bridge?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I don't believe it would be. But I haven't I
haven't looked at what you've said, so I don't. I don't.
I don't. I don't know. But they have not started
construction or figured out how to pay for it yet.
Speaker 13 (16:34):
Oh, because I'm looking at things coming up out the water.
Speaker 14 (16:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (16:38):
I kind of go over there and I normally.

Hello, Hey, I'm sorry we launched there. You you say,
you you trying to figure out what these things are
and you normally want.
Speaker 13 (16:54):
Yeah, I normally fish over the bay, and you know,
when the tide is way out, that's when I go
walk out and oh no, ousterbid And you know you
can catch a lot of pish that way. Yeah, And
I see them, but I'm seeing pilings coming up.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (17:09):
I was wondering what that was for.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, I wish I knew, but I do not know.
Maybe a listener will call in and tell us.
Speaker 13 (17:19):
Amen. And for as National Proud Day, I pray for
this country. I pray for this city all the time.
There's a lot of good people.

Speaker 15 (19:11):
Uncle Henry in response to the question Cliff had. It
appears as though they're going to add a new bridge
next to the two existing causeway bridges because one of
the spans is a.

(20:00):
telephone number to call here on the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
speaking of voicemails, let me, uh, before these voicemails get
too old, let me share with you a call from RT.
Speaker 14 (20:13):
Hey, good afternoon, Uncle Henry. This is RT.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
You know, I've been thinking, by the way, I'm hoping
the RT stands for roll tide roll tide. That's well,
maybe it doesn't, but that's what I'm going to That's
what I'm going to continue to think for the rest
of the times that RT calls in.
Speaker 14 (20:34):
You know, I've been thinking, you know, I've been noticing
a lot of products that we purchased it consume as
all the warning labels and stuff on them, right, and
I'm thinking it, maybe this is the time we could
finally get this done for our news media.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Warning labels for the news media, And.
Speaker 14 (20:55):
I have a good one. I thought warning the news
to which you are about to consume was written to
favor and promote progressive ideology. Please understand this before taking
any of these stories seriously. Side effects include brainwashing and
(21:17):
bad decisions. This is something I think should be applied
to the majority of the news we've been watching, including ABC,
CBS and NBC. This now, you and I know this
is true, and all the listeners on this show know
(21:38):
this is true.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Hey, before I'm sorry to interrupt you, RT, I'm going
to play the remainder of your message. But I don't
know about warning labels, But I would love for all
the reporters on television when they're reporting, when they're on
the screen, that there be a graphic that tells us
(21:59):
who they voted for the last time they voted. Why
not if everybody had to do it on television, put
a graphic of who you voted for. Put a graphic
of if that reporters donated to any political party. Also
(22:20):
a graphic of who they're married to. And I know
that sounds weird to you. There's a lot of talking
heads on television that you may not realize are married
to government officials. Now they may not be married to
the person in charge, but they might be married to
a deputy here or a deputy there, somebody in the
federal government. There's a lot of reporters up there that
(22:42):
are married to people that are working in the federal
government that they're reporting on. It'd be nice to know,
wouldn't it. So Yeah, I'd like to have who they
voted for in the last presidential election up there, who
they're married to, who they donate money to, where they
went to school. That might be a way to figure
(23:03):
out if we're seeing propaganda or not. Uh, maybe their
latest drug test, see what they're on. That would always
be nice to know what are they on. I like that.
I like where you're going with this, RT. Right back
to the message.
Speaker 14 (23:18):
This Now you and I know this is true. Yeah,
and all the listeners on this show know this is true.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Most do.
Speaker 14 (23:26):
There's still millions of Americans who have no clue. Such
a morning and disclaimer could prevent like Joe Biden being
our forty six president. I mean, it's time we get
a hold of we the Americans need the truth. Americans
(23:46):
don't need propaganda. And anyway, have a good week, Uncle
Henry and h old tied roll roll tied.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Thank you very much. RT. I like your suggestion. Yeah,
the America. What did you say? Americans need the truth?
It seems ever elusive, doesn't it. You may remember when
President Trump ran this last time. You remember that, and
you remember how there was a lot of discussion of
(24:17):
the Epstein files. I want to get those out there.
Let everybody know, Let everybody know Epstein client list. You know,
people got in trouble Epstein. Something happened to him when
he was in jail. I think they convicted his top helper,
that lady Julie Maxwell. None of the clients. Is there
(24:42):
not a client, not even one sacrificial client, that can
tell us about on the Epstein list. We were promised
we were going to be told all about that, and
that is just not happening. That is just even though
it was a campaign promise. And you know, whether you
like Donald Trump or not, and I know many people don't,
(25:02):
you have to notice that when he says that he's
going to do something when he runs for office, he
tries to get it done. No Epstein list may I'm
trying to figure will we get the Epstein list a
real one or will we get the fantasy bridge? Which
(25:24):
one will happen first, a real Epstein list or a
fantasy bridge built. But getting to the truth is harder
than you might think, rt harder than you might think.
In fact, there's a lot of people out there that
probably make a living making sure that you don't get it.
But again, thank you, RT. Thank you for the voicemail.
UH Live phone call number is two five to one
(25:46):
four seven nine two seven two three. That's two five
to one four seven nine two seventy two three. Email

Beauford called in about seeing signs different campaign signs where
(26:09):
he lives, even though he doesn't live in the city
of Mobile. There's signs for mayoral candidates. I got another
call about that.
Speaker 16 (26:17):
Hey, k Henry's almost famous, Steve. This is the very
first time I've ever ever called you voice line. So
I don't know if that makes me famous or just
almost famous almost famous. A few weeks ago, you played
a voicemail by Buford talking about all the Spiro signs
down in the Fowl River area. Yeah, and he was
wondering why. Well, Spiro's wife's grandmother lives on the Bay,
(26:43):
three houses north of me, and they own all that
property where all the signs are.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Oh, okay, that the reason for that Okay.
Speaker 16 (26:51):
Another thing, I just saw the strangest thing I've ever
seen in my life on YouTube and people in Vietnam
collect from the eggs from black outs and making a
cake out of it. Oh, really strange anyway, as a
saying Theodore here, have a good one all right or
(27:13):
does it take it easy?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
All right? Well that I'll do both. I'm gonna have
a good one as I take it easy. Almost famous, Steve,
thank you for that report and uh telling me the
weird thing you've seen on YouTube of people in Vietnam
making a cake out of ant eggs. I'm not gonna
knock it. I don't really care to try it, but
(27:36):
I'm not gonna knock it because i haven't tried it,
although I'll say I'm not I'm not at all. I'm
not at all curious about how anything insect related would taste.

that President Trump's first one hundred days are some of
the worst in history?

let I don't even know what that phrase means. Let

to the different news items. Voicemail number if you'd like
to leave a mess for me or the listeners of
the Uncle Henry Show. The voice found numbers two five
(35:04):
one two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two five
one two one six nineteen seventy six to leave a
message for the Uncle Henry Show. Now, I've got a
report yesterday from the Snake Trapper about snake activity. He
called the show yesterday and said that it was one
of the snakiest weekends in years that he had experienced
(35:26):
with numerous snake reports around him. Now he had called
me and left a message when I was off this
past Friday. This was the beginning of the Snakiest weekend.
Here briefly is snake Trapper talking about the snakiness and
other animal issues.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Hey over, Henry, snake Trapper. Hey man, the turtles and
snakes are very active. Friday morning, my commute into work
on wolf Red Road over Henderson, a box turtle crossing
the road.
Speaker 14 (36:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
This is nesting and mating season for the turtles. So
over the next coming months we will hear and see
a lot more of them, and I'll show too ogra Henry.
Snakes are active, more active right now than I've seen
in many, many years now.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
And I'm pausing there just to put this out for
snake Trapper or any other expert on these reptiles. Why
do you think that is? Why would they be more
active this year, this time of year than in previous years.
Why do you think that is? I don't I'm not
an expert on none of this, So will I rely
(36:38):
on people like snake Trapper or maybe you. Maybe there's
there may be secret snake experts listening that are at
different levels. Maybe there's a secret level of snake expertise
that goes far beyond snake trapper, I don't know two
five one two one six, nineteen seventy six, if you
are a secret snake expert and you can explain the
(37:01):
uptick in snake activity. All right back to the and
there's not much left back to the message right now
that I've seen.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
In many many years. Just four over the weekend in
my neighborhood. Uh just posted some video on the snake
Trapper page of a gray wrap snake in my driveway.
So yeah, man, the snake activity is very heavy this year,
(37:28):
seeing a lot more than expected. All right, buddy, you
have a good day.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Thank you, snake trapper. Keep me informed, and I'm waiting
for you to finally make the phone call where you
reveal that you have trapped a snake that you wish
to eat. So keep keep us informed because I want
to hear about the eating of the snake as well
as just the snake activity. Again that voicemail number two
(37:54):
five nineteen seventy six. That's two five six, nineteen seventy six.
Now I want to get to some news. Adams here
on theil Clanry Show. I'm a big fan. I'm an
easy I'm an easy to please person, and I'm a
big fan of road paving, road construction. I'm a love infrastructure. Now.
(38:18):
I love nature as well. I love talking about snakes
and turtles and raccoons and all that kind of stuff.
But I also love roads. And I've driven. I've driven
a lot, but in Alabama between Mobile and Tuscaloosa because
Roll tied Roll and also had a relative that went
(38:38):
to Marion Military Institute, and so I've spent a lot
of time driving up through beautiful places like Mount Vernon.
Is there another beautiful place? Yes, I was Mount Vernon?
And where else? Macintosh, Thomasville, Grove Hill, Jackson, Alabama. Just
(38:59):
just wonderful driving around in that part of the state. Well,
there's a news item I want to share with you
about this new project, the new four lane divided highway
project that is now being called the West Alabama Highway.
And if I understand this correctly, I'm not sure I do.
But if I understand it correctly, it would you'd be
(39:22):
able to drive from Mobile to Tuscaloosa on a four
lane road the whole way. So let's listen. Then I
may not understand it right, so let's find out together.
This report is from WSFA, A step sister station to
Fox ten.
Speaker 17 (39:39):
It's good news both for drivers in West Alabama and
for that area's economy. The state announced today a new
four lane, divided highway project they're calling the West Alabama Highway.
It will eventually connect Thomasville to Moundville. The announcement was
made in Democolus reporter Julia Avent has the details.
Speaker 14 (39:59):
Boy, think about something.
Speaker 18 (40:00):
Like it in our town.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
A highway in West Alabama has been a topic of conversation.
Mayor of Demopolis. What he Collins says since he was
a kid.
Speaker 18 (40:09):
Weston's Alabama has been ignored for so many years, and
now with this highway coming through, it's going to open
up more trade. It's going to give us opportunities. As
Sundry Singlean said, we can now compete.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
This building on Highway eighty and Demopolis, a former grocery store,
is now the construction headquarters. The project expected to create
seven hundred jobs at the peak of construction.
Speaker 18 (40:33):
Can you imagine the tax dollars, the housing dollars, the spinoffs.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Just it's more than we able could have dreamed.
Speaker 18 (40:42):
Bob, I'll just be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
And it's those tax dollars that made this project possible.
It's part of the Rebuild Alabama program funded by state
gasoline taxes program. Senator Bobby Singleton says he's happy state
lawmakers approved.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Now this is we're about to hear a state lawmaker
talk about how happy is that a tax was raised.
The Alabama gasoline tax was raised several years ago Republicans.
It was a Republican tax increase, and it was one
of these things where the politicians pretty much decided they
wanted to raise that tax before they really before they
(41:20):
got a lot of comment from constituents. Now, of course,
constituents always want new and better roads, so they probably
thought they could do it and get away with it.
But you'll hear this politician. He's a Democrat, and he's
excited because it was a Republican tax increase. He loves it.
He loves it when the Republicans raised the taxes.
Speaker 5 (41:39):
And says he's happy state lawmakers approved.
Speaker 19 (41:43):
Off the Republican party side because they usually don't believe
in voting on taxes and so, but everybody understood that
infrastructure was dying. We needed more bridges, we needed new highways.
We had potholes that people were complaining about. We had
people having problems on interstates where it's gonna be cloudy.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
This will take a lot of the.
Speaker 19 (42:03):
Pressure off sixty five Highway twenty fifty nine.
Speaker 5 (42:09):
State lawmakers passed the Rebuild Alabama Act in twenty nineteen,
and it has already paid for numerous road and bridge projects.
It's also expected to pay for planned lane additions to
US Highway forty three and State Route sixty nine, providing
a four way lane highway corridor all the way from
Mobile to Tuscaloosa market.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
We're good, all the way from Mobile to Tuscalosa, four lanes.
I hope I live to see it. What do you
think will happen first? This four lane road between Mobile
in Tuscalosa or the bridge, the fantasy bridge. The people
have been fantasizing about building. Which one do you think
will come first?
Speaker 17 (42:49):
News there, Julia, thank you so much. A completion date
for the West Alabama Highway has not been set, but
construction has already begun in the Linden area.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Okay, do they ever set in dates anymore? And our
in dates ever met?
Speaker 10 (43:06):
All?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Right back with more, Uncle Henry Show after a break
here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM take the break.
(43:29):
This is dal Call Henry Show on News Radio seven
to ten WNTM News headlines coming up in ten minutes. Now,
as I get older and older and older, it becomes
clearer and clearer and clearer that older people in the
(43:51):
United States of America are discriminated against and treated like garbage. Yes,
that is my belief, and I see example as it
every day people older people getting treated like garbage. Even
people that even people that like and listen to this
show will comment on Facebook while they're watching the show
(44:12):
on Facebook about boomers and they don't like older people
being in charge of anything, and they'll attack older politicians
or they'll attack older people. I hate the idea that
now that we've got this this boomer thing where they
call older people boomers and attack them like this. I
(44:35):
am proud to be a boomer, and you want to
use that word against me in a negative way. It
bounces right off of me. I do not give a flip.
And I hate to be like that, but I don't.
I don't give a flip. I'm proud to be my
age and I'm looking forward to being older, and I
and the people that that discriminate against the elderly. I
(44:56):
hope that. I hope I end up costing the money somehow. Yeah, yeah,
I hope I cost the government more money than I
put into it, thanks to these scumbags that call me
a boomer. Now, the reason I'm talking about how old
people are treated horribly in this country is because there's
something wonderful coming up. I think this is coming up
(45:18):
in June. It is called Miss Senior Alabama. It's a
pageant for women over the age of sixty. Yeah. Now,
I know younger people may not care about this because
they're young, and because they're young, they don't know nothing.
But older people, I think we will appreciate this. It's
(45:38):
a pageant. And back in the day we used to
have pageants. There was nothing wrong with having a pageant.
The Junior Miss pageant was a wonderful thing. Miss America
used to be wonderful. Well, now they got Miss Senior
Alabama coming up. And I want to share with you
a segment. This is from Fox ten's Studio ten, the
highly talented Chelsea SaaS on interviewing a lady Darlene Shavers.
(46:04):
A believer's name is who is Miss Senior Mobile. Yes,
we've got our own Miss Seniormobile, So let's listen together
and learn about Miss Senior Alabama.
Speaker 20 (46:14):
ELMA is a pageant for women ages sixty and above.
This year's competition is schedule for June seventh and Daphne,
and today we have Missed Senior Mobile twenty twenty five.
Darlene shavers with us. It's good to see you.
Speaker 6 (46:27):
Thank you, it's good to be here.
Speaker 20 (46:28):
So I actually met you at the Cajun Cookoff. You
were there with your husband. Did you guys have a
great time?
Speaker 14 (46:34):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (46:34):
We did.
Speaker 6 (46:34):
It was so much fun.
Speaker 20 (46:35):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Now do you hear the already this woman I've never
met her before, but you can hear the Southern gentility
in her mode of speaking to Chelsea that you can't
you can't have that level of Southern gentility at a
young age. You have to earn it through years of
being tortured on the planet.
Speaker 20 (46:55):
And of course you had our sash on as well.
You were telling me the backstory of how you got
into this, and I just think it's so inspiring for
women of all ages. This was your first pageant at
the age that you're at. What made you decide let
me jump into this journey.
Speaker 6 (47:11):
Well, last year, the Queen's Sisters as we call ourselves,
came to Mitchell Cancer Institute and gave out crowns to
the cancer patients and caregivers and all. And then they
came back. They talked to me then, but I wasn't
really sure. And they came back to the Think Pink
(47:31):
Tea in October and that was when I was convinced.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
To do it.
Speaker 6 (47:36):
So I applied. I had a preliminary interview and I
was chosen for Mobile.
Speaker 20 (47:42):
We're so excited for you because it's got to be
a lot. I'm sure to make that decision to put
yourself out there, but I know they're so happy that
you're in this position now. We're so happy to what's
the mission for you and for all of the ladies
who compete in Miss Senior Alabama.
Speaker 6 (47:58):
To get out and incur other senior women to get involved. Yes,
senior women, just because we retired, are you know, just
home and join ourselves. It's time to really get out
and make a new chapter.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
Yes, please, senior women and senior men, make a new chapter.
These young people, look, they don't know anything. You know this,
you see it. They don't know nothing. You know you've
been around the block. Get out there and share some
of that knowledge with these these really dumb young people.
Speaker 20 (48:31):
So you are representing the city amobile and you will
compete in the statewide pageant in just a few months.
What happens after that pageant for all of you? Do
you continue to work and give back to the community.
Speaker 11 (48:45):
Yes, we did.
Speaker 6 (48:46):
We're available to do what am I trying to say,
lectures or talks or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Where and that's all. See this as good older people
were good at that. We're good at lecturing. There's a
lot of people out loved a lecture.
Speaker 6 (49:01):
Come to anything that you would like to have seniors
represented because we want us, we want the ladies especially
to get out there and be seen and heard.
Speaker 20 (49:11):
Yeah, I'm sure. It's just such a sweet community too,
with you and all the other ladies involved. So let's
talk about the pageant itself. It's coming up. How are
you feeling about it?
Speaker 6 (49:20):
Scared?
Speaker 1 (49:20):
No, scaring?
Speaker 20 (49:21):
You're gonna be totally fine, I promise. I'm curious what
kind of levels of competition will happen on June seventh?
Is there an evening gown an interview? How does that
work for you?
Speaker 11 (49:31):
Gus.
Speaker 6 (49:31):
Here's an interview on Saturday morning. We do like a
little opening skit and then we have a little time
where we talk about ourselves, and then we do an
active wear type thing where they tell about us some
and then we do have the evening gown.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
All right, this is wonderful again. That's June seventh in Daphne.
You can find out more, I'm sure by going to
foxtentv dot com and looking looking for all the stuff
on Miss Senior out. All right, I'm out of time.
Thank you for listening. As they say in Sirland, have
a good one, and as they say in Theodore, take
it easy all right.
Speaker 4 (50:10):
Later
The Uncle Henry Show weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Uncle Henry, Global Warning, you hear me, Uncle Henry. Global
Warning is causing my chickens not to lay eggs, and
it's also causing my alligators. You hear me, Op Hendry.
It calls in my alligators to eat my stock. Uncle Hendry,
(00:34):
you think Global Warning will ever be fixed? The mosquitos
is attacking twenty four seven. It's got to be Global Warning,
Uncle Henry. Huh Global Warning? Cast somebody to steal my
(00:54):
blue jeans off my back parts, Uncle Hendrys. What is
going on? This global war is causing problems?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Message deleted press fool.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Thank you, it says the Uncle Henry Show here on
news radio seven to ten WNTM. Thank you so much
for listening to the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it
(01:34):
very very much. Here we are together once again, me
and you trying to figure out what is going on
in the world around us. We've got a lot to
talk about at every level of existence. I'm gonna start
off today with the Mobile City Council meeting. There was
a Mobile City Council meeting today. Lots and lots of
(01:55):
stuff going on today. If you like. You know, some
people them may love politician hot air. Oh, there was
a lot of it today. You're going to be very
pleased because there was a lot of politician hot air.
In fact, if you're a real municipal government type of
nerd person that likes municipal government nerd stuff, you can
(02:17):
just go on YouTube this evening watch the city council's
pre council meeting. You got all kind of hot air there.
Then you got the council meeting itself with lots of
politician hot air in the city council meeting, and then
they had a public safety meeting. All of this is
on YouTube. You can have hours. I challenge anyone to
stay awake through all this if you've got trouble sleeping. Now,
(02:40):
I'm not saying they're not in discussing important stuff. They
are discussing very important stuff. Big topic today public safety. Also,
it's always a big topic when they're spending your tax dollar.
But if you do on a serious note, if you've
got an insomnia issue, you got a solid three hours plus.
I think today of municipal government on YouTube. You can
(03:00):
just find a way to set that up and play.
And I think within the second hour easily, you'd be
asleep if you were to get this on your YouTube
this evening if you want to know what happened at
today's Mobile City Council meeting. Great coverage. My favorite coverage
of the council is with Lanyap, the newspaper Lamyak Mobile
(03:24):
dot com as the website Lamyapmobile dot Com. And they
talk about how the council wanted updates on anything involving
the violence we've had recently. You're aware of the numerous
incidentss at Sage Park, Langham Park, parking lot of the
publics in midtown. Just council wanting to know about cameras
(03:47):
and things like that. And I believe there was a
there's an effort to move three hundred thousand dollars from
one one part of the city to another to address
cameras having more cameras. Now Fox ten they just had
their their frequently disheveled reporter Brendan Kirby covering this story,
(04:09):
and I thought he'll do a way better job than
I would do, So let's listen together. Here's Brendan Kirby
wearing a suit jacket about a size too big, talking
about what happened today at the council meeting involving public
safety and cameras.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
The process will take both time and money. The city
Council is considering a proposal to transfer three hundred thousand
dollars from the Police Department's Support Services Division to the
Public Safety Administrative That'sman Cameron.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Or police patrols, and a major effort to expand and
upgrade the city's surveillance camera network.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Let's bring in our Brendan Kirby, who has more on
what's being proposed now, Brendan, the surveillance camera overhaul, that's
a big task.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
It is Lindis and Cameron Public Safety Director Rob Lasky
says that the process will take both time and money.
The city Council is considering a proposal to transfer three
hundred thousand dollars from the Police Department's Support Services Division
to the Public Safety Administrative Division. That's money that would
be used to buy new surveillance cameras.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
And now think think about it, like, man, this could
have happened to anyone just being out there.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Mobile City Councilman Corey Penn still shaken by the shooting
that killed twenty eight year old Fernika Craig and injured
a man as they were playing basketball in Sage Park
on April seventeenth. It happened just two weeks after another
shooting frightened parents and children at Langen Park. No arrests
had been made in either case, and in both cases,
(05:35):
surveillance cameras were either not functional or not recording. Rob Laski,
Executive Director of Public Safety, told council members Tuesday that
the city plans to move about nine hundred and fifty
city owned cameras into the Public Safety Administrative Division over
the next several months or even years.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
We're going to start with the three hundred and twenty
three hundred and thirty from parks and rex which are
located in the parks and the community centers, of which
those we know about sixty four are not working. So
our main goal is to try to triadge those cameras,
get them working, or at least get them recording.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
The city owns about fifteen hundred cameras, around five hundred
and fifty year controlled by the Mobile Police Department or
the Gulf Coast Technology Center. The remaining nine hundred and
fifty years spread across three different departments and run on
eight different operating systems. The long term goal is to
link them all to one system. The three hundred thousand
(06:32):
dollars up for a vote next week would fund new
static cameras, as well as point, tilt and zoom cameras
that can be repositioned remotely, but Lasky cautions that even
working cameras wouldn't have prevented violence.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
They would not stop the shooting whatsoever. Cameras don't stop
bullets if the perpetrators have to happen to walk in
through the frame. And if those cameras are good enough,
we could use it, we could use it to help
identify them. However that it would not have stopped them
in any way.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Councilman pen is calling for more officers, more cameras, and
better signage alerting people that they're being watched. He also
voiced frustration over state laws that prohibit the city from
banning guns in public parks.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Private business can say you can't have a firearm, but
a public park where kids and enjoying theirself, we can't
do the same. We have to figure this out, guys.
It's bigger than people just having rights to bear arms,
which I.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Support, Director Lasky says this, by the.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Way, when people talk about gun control, they always support
your right to bear arms.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
The city is also pushing for more visible police presence
that includes using summer traffic enforcement grants to pay for
additional overtime, and he says that the police force is
close to its authorized strength and that the city is
looking to increase the size of the force over the
next budget cycle. For putting live in the news center,
Brendan Kirby Box ten News.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You heard about all the cameras there, that they're trying
to figure out how to get them all to work together.
Sounds like a quite a tech issue you heard in
the story if you were paying close attention. I think
all these hundreds of cameras, eight different operating systems, trying
to get them all to work together. And at one
point in the I think it was in the Public
(08:21):
Safety committing meeting today, or it might have been the
pre council meeting. I can't remember because there's so many meetings.
One of the meetings, though, the Public Safety Director Laski
said that each camera costs between three and four three
grand and forty five hundred bucks, and the fiber optic
(08:42):
cable cost about twenty seven dollars a foot to install,
but at what price? Public safety? More Uncle Henry Show

I let you know that the the public safety was
a big topic at today's Mobile City Council meeting. A
lot of discussion of cameras and other things that can
be done in the community because of the recent violence
that we've had in the community. There were some other
(10:08):
things talked about at the Mobile City Council meeting. Briefly,
I will share with you a couple of these things. Now,
last week, I believe it was Thursday. I talked about
how it was such a wonderful coincidence for Mobile City
Council President CJ. Small that a housing development was named
(10:31):
after him, and they had a groundbreaking last week for it,
naming a housing development after cjs an affordable housing development
after CJ. Small, calling it CJ. Small Heights, And I mentioned,
how what a happy, wonderful coincident. It is coincidence. It
is that there's an election coming up in just a
(10:51):
few months where he's running for re election and just
coincidentally there's a housing project named after him, which is
kind of an advantage if anybody else is running against him.
I don't know if they are, but it's nice to
be the incumbent, isn't it. When you're running for office
and you can have something like a housing development named
(11:12):
after you, it's a happy coincidence. Well, today, Sabrina mass,
a citizen activist, brought up the naming of buildings and
things when she was talking to the Mobile City Council.
If you want to see her entire speech, it's on YouTube.
Here is what she said about getting buildings named after you.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
So I have no problem with people naming buildings after them.
That's fine if that's what you want to do. I
just know Historically, many buildings in the United States of
America even abroad, have been named for figures that had
civil rights movements, community deep involvement for years and years,
some even after death and their demise and their accomplishments.
(11:57):
So now we're just naming buildings for our friends and
our foes. It ain't one out to meet, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Thank Sabrina mass thank you for bringing that up. I'm
glad that you did. It is a again, what a
what a happy coincidence it is or Council President Small
that do have something named named for him there right
before a vote. That's just just just a nice little
perk of being in office. Now, let's see. Also, this
(12:25):
is also very brief from today's Mobile City Council meeting.
Councilman Ben Reynolds says something that I love. I wish.
I wish that all of the city council people felt
the way I do about infrastructure and having streets paved
and maintained properly, which they have not been in the
city of Mobile. Here is Mobile City Council and Ben
(12:46):
Reynolds on my favorite topic.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
I want to say thank you to my fellow council
members and this administration. I learned this morning that over
the past five years we have spent over sixty three
million dollars and resurfacing our streets, and that we are
sort of teed up for the next five years to
do even more than that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We're teed up everybody.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
And I want to appreciate. I want to just say
thank you to everybody who's played a part in that,
and I hope that we can continue this trend of
addressing these legacy infrastructure problems throughout our city. Thank you,
mister President.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
All right, that is thank you keep bringing it up.
And uh, don't forget to throw in a thank you
to the to the taxpayer that is paying very high
sales taxes, just praying that before they die, their street
get repaired. All right again, Uh, let's see two five,
one four seven nine two seven two three the telephone number.
Speaker 11 (13:42):
One more.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I've got one more thing from the council meeting before
other topics we'll be discussed. Uh, the National Day of Prayer,
I believe is Thursday of this week. Here is Mayor
Standy Simpson talking about what the City of Mobile is
going to do with National Day of Prayer this year.
Speaker 12 (14:04):
Also one of announced everybody that and invite all Mobilians
to a pair of very special events this Thursday, May first.
We'll be partnering with the National Day of Prayer Foundation
and the Alabama National Day Prayer Task Force. We have
(14:24):
two services in honor of the National Day of Prayer.
I want to be a sunrise service at six am
at Brookly by the Bay.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
All right, sunrise service six am Brookly by the Bay
on the National Day of Prayer.
Speaker 12 (14:38):
And the second one to be a sunset service at
six pm at Brookly by the Bay.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Very nice six pm. I won't be able to make
that one because I'll be here.
Speaker 12 (14:47):
The doors open, the gate actually opens to the park
and one hour before the event starts, so gates open
at five am and five pm. And the National Day
of Prayer is really prayer for our community, being one
of the most maybe one of the best settings we
(15:09):
have in the city for something like this. Pastor Joe
and Linda Johnson will be leading it along with Pam
Haynes's ministries through several musical performances. I want to thank
everybody that I had something to do with this. I
would be quick to tell everybody that I would contribute
(15:31):
the majority of the success of our administration over the
last eleven and a half years has been a result
of prayer. And thank you, Thank you to all the
people who have been praying and will continue to pray.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Very good. All right, glad to hear that National Day
of Prayer this Thursday with services at Brooklyn by the
Bay at six am and six pm. Let's see before
we go to break, let me take this, see if
I can get a caller on here.
Speaker 13 (15:58):
Hellop, caller, Hey, good, even hen.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Cliff, Cliff, you are alive on the radio.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
Oh, Henry, Yeah, on the Bayway. What are those tilings
being put down next to the bridge?
Speaker 14 (16:17):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (16:17):
They seem like they put in concrete pilings and stuff. Okay,
is that for a new bridge?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I don't believe it would be. But I haven't I
haven't looked at what you've said, so I don't. I don't.
I don't. I don't know. But they have not started
construction or figured out how to pay for it yet.
Speaker 13 (16:34):
Oh, because I'm looking at things coming up out the water.
Speaker 14 (16:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (16:38):
I kind of go over there and I normally.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Hello, Hey, I'm sorry we launched there. You you say,
you you trying to figure out what these things are
and you normally want.
Speaker 13 (16:54):
Yeah, I normally fish over the bay, and you know,
when the tide is way out, that's when I go
walk out and oh no, ousterbid And you know you
can catch a lot of pish that way. Yeah, And
I see them, but I'm seeing pilings coming up.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (17:09):
I was wondering what that was for.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, I wish I knew, but I do not know.
Maybe a listener will call in and tell us.
Speaker 13 (17:19):
Amen. And for as National Proud Day, I pray for
this country. I pray for this city all the time.
There's a lot of good people.
Speaker 11 (17:29):
Want to do good things for this country that don't
have anything to do with racism. And I just want

this voicemail that was just phoned into the program.
Speaker 15 (19:11):
Uncle Henry in response to the question Cliff had. It
appears as though they're going to add a new bridge
next to the two existing causeway bridges because one of
the spans is a.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Lot older than the other one.
Speaker 15 (19:34):

Speaker 1 (19:39):
That way, all right, call it. Thank you very much
caller for sharing that with me and Cliff and the listener.
And it's okay that you're not sure, because I don't
know that I've ever been sure on the air myself,
and it's it's more fun when you're not sure, gives
you more leeway. Thanks again, two five one four seven
(20:00):
telephone number to call here on the Uncle Henry Show. Now,
speaking of voicemails, let me, uh, before these voicemails get
too old, let me share with you a call from RT.
Speaker 14 (20:13):
Hey, good afternoon, Uncle Henry. This is RT.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
You know, I've been thinking, by the way, I'm hoping
the RT stands for roll tide roll tide. That's well,
maybe it doesn't, but that's what I'm going to That's
what I'm going to continue to think for the rest
of the times that RT calls in.
Speaker 14 (20:34):
You know, I've been thinking, you know, I've been noticing
a lot of products that we purchased it consume as
all the warning labels and stuff on them, right, and
I'm thinking it, maybe this is the time we could
finally get this done for our news media.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Warning labels for the news media, And.
Speaker 14 (20:55):
I have a good one. I thought warning the news
to which you are about to consume was written to
favor and promote progressive ideology. Please understand this before taking
any of these stories seriously. Side effects include brainwashing and
(21:17):
bad decisions. This is something I think should be applied
to the majority of the news we've been watching, including ABC,
CBS and NBC. This now, you and I know this
is true, and all the listeners on this show know
(21:38):
this is true.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Hey, before I'm sorry to interrupt you, RT, I'm going
to play the remainder of your message. But I don't
know about warning labels, But I would love for all
the reporters on television when they're reporting, when they're on
the screen, that there be a graphic that tells us
(21:59):
who they voted for the last time they voted. Why
not if everybody had to do it on television, put
a graphic of who you voted for. Put a graphic
of if that reporters donated to any political party. Also
(22:20):
a graphic of who they're married to. And I know
that sounds weird to you. There's a lot of talking
heads on television that you may not realize are married
to government officials. Now they may not be married to
the person in charge, but they might be married to
a deputy here or a deputy there, somebody in the
federal government. There's a lot of reporters up there that
(22:42):
are married to people that are working in the federal
government that they're reporting on. It'd be nice to know,
wouldn't it. So Yeah, I'd like to have who they
voted for in the last presidential election up there, who
they're married to, who they donate money to, where they
went to school. That might be a way to figure
(23:03):
out if we're seeing propaganda or not. Uh, maybe their
latest drug test, see what they're on. That would always
be nice to know what are they on. I like that.
I like where you're going with this, RT. Right back
to the message.
Speaker 14 (23:18):
This Now you and I know this is true. Yeah,
and all the listeners on this show know this is true.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Most do.
Speaker 14 (23:26):
There's still millions of Americans who have no clue. Such
a morning and disclaimer could prevent like Joe Biden being
our forty six president. I mean, it's time we get
a hold of we the Americans need the truth. Americans
(23:46):
don't need propaganda. And anyway, have a good week, Uncle
Henry and h old tied roll roll tied.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Thank you very much. RT. I like your suggestion. Yeah,
the America. What did you say? Americans need the truth?
It seems ever elusive, doesn't it. You may remember when
President Trump ran this last time. You remember that, and
you remember how there was a lot of discussion of
(24:17):
the Epstein files. I want to get those out there.
Let everybody know, Let everybody know Epstein client list. You know,
people got in trouble Epstein. Something happened to him when
he was in jail. I think they convicted his top helper,
that lady Julie Maxwell. None of the clients. Is there
(24:42):
not a client, not even one sacrificial client, that can
tell us about on the Epstein list. We were promised
we were going to be told all about that, and
that is just not happening. That is just even though
it was a campaign promise. And you know, whether you
like Donald Trump or not, and I know many people don't,
(25:02):
you have to notice that when he says that he's
going to do something when he runs for office, he
tries to get it done. No Epstein list may I'm
trying to figure will we get the Epstein list a
real one or will we get the fantasy bridge? Which
(25:24):
one will happen first, a real Epstein list or a
fantasy bridge built. But getting to the truth is harder
than you might think, rt harder than you might think.
In fact, there's a lot of people out there that
probably make a living making sure that you don't get it.
But again, thank you, RT. Thank you for the voicemail.
UH Live phone call number is two five to one
(25:46):
four seven nine two seven two three. That's two five
to one four seven nine two seventy two three. Email

Beauford called in about seeing signs different campaign signs where
(26:09):
he lives, even though he doesn't live in the city
of Mobile. There's signs for mayoral candidates. I got another
call about that.
Speaker 16 (26:17):
Hey, k Henry's almost famous, Steve. This is the very
first time I've ever ever called you voice line. So
I don't know if that makes me famous or just
almost famous almost famous. A few weeks ago, you played
a voicemail by Buford talking about all the Spiro signs
down in the Fowl River area. Yeah, and he was
wondering why. Well, Spiro's wife's grandmother lives on the Bay,
(26:43):
three houses north of me, and they own all that
property where all the signs are.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Oh, okay, that the reason for that Okay.
Speaker 16 (26:51):
Another thing, I just saw the strangest thing I've ever
seen in my life on YouTube and people in Vietnam
collect from the eggs from black outs and making a
cake out of it. Oh, really strange anyway, as a
saying Theodore here, have a good one all right or
(27:13):
does it take it easy?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
All right? Well that I'll do both. I'm gonna have
a good one as I take it easy. Almost famous, Steve,
thank you for that report and uh telling me the
weird thing you've seen on YouTube of people in Vietnam
making a cake out of ant eggs. I'm not gonna
knock it. I don't really care to try it, but
(27:36):
I'm not gonna knock it because i haven't tried it,
although I'll say I'm not I'm not at all. I'm
not at all curious about how anything insect related would taste.

kind of time sensitive. So let me go to the
snake trapper.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Hey over here, this snake trapper. Hey, man, can you
believe that some of your mainstream news outlets are reporting
that President Trump's first one hundred days are some of
the worst in history?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, well, yes, of course I believe. What else are
they gonna report.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
In history? Uncle Henry? Man of here, there's no doubt
with the deportations that he's been doing, he's done save
hundreds of lives and people from violent crime. Egg price
is on Henry. Egg prizes ain't nowhere near what they
were when he took office. Man, these people are absolutely idiots.
(29:41):
Don't go, Henry, and they don't get up there and
say it's the worst one hundred days of a president ever.
Hand my god, I can't wait britt to fall a part, Henry.
I mean, you just think, man, the way they think.
If it falls apart, man, we might be getting free Hey,
my goodness, they're expecting people to believe that crab. But
(30:05):
you know, on the other hand over, Henry, if you're
a h cut on puppy couple, stuffed animal, trump haten Democrat,
I guess I guess it is falling of art for you.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry interrupt, snake Trapper, but you
mentioned if you're a stuffed animal loving the Democrat? And
is that a thing that I've missed a lot of
things happen in society. There are a lot of cultural
movements and trends in society that I'll miss out on
until the last minute. Now, is this something new? That
(30:41):
is this? Like adults with stuffed animals? Is that's what?
Speaker 13 (30:44):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
What is going on? I don't I don't quite get that.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Man. Uh them them communists don't don't like it. Over history,
my goodness, man, worse than in history. Oh man, I
can't wait. I can't wait. Man, I'm the first one

All right, Well, if you don't mind, I'm not gonna
let I don't even know what that phrase means. Let
the party hit the floor. I hope it doesn't involve
pants or clothing or something like that falling. Probably does.
It probably does because of the sickness that is infested
(32:29):
modern society. So I'm not gonna let any kind of
party or anything like that hit the floor. But I'm

report yesterday from the Snake Trapper about snake activity. He
called the show yesterday and said that it was one
of the snakiest weekends in years that he had experienced
(35:26):
with numerous snake reports around him. Now he had called
me and left a message when I was off this
past Friday. This was the beginning of the Snakiest weekend.
Here briefly is snake Trapper talking about the snakiness and
other animal issues.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Hey over, Henry, snake Trapper. Hey man, the turtles and
snakes are very active. Friday morning, my commute into work
on wolf Red Road over Henderson, a box turtle crossing
the road.
Speaker 14 (36:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
This is nesting and mating season for the turtles. So
over the next coming months we will hear and see
a lot more of them, and I'll show too ogra Henry.
Snakes are active, more active right now than I've seen
in many, many years now.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
And I'm pausing there just to put this out for
snake Trapper or any other expert on these reptiles. Why
do you think that is? Why would they be more
active this year, this time of year than in previous years.
Why do you think that is? I don't I'm not
an expert on none of this, So will I rely
(36:38):
on people like snake Trapper or maybe you. Maybe there's
there may be secret snake experts listening that are at
different levels. Maybe there's a secret level of snake expertise
that goes far beyond snake trapper, I don't know two
five one two one six, nineteen seventy six, if you
are a secret snake expert and you can explain the
(37:01):
uptick in snake activity. All right back to the and
there's not much left back to the message right now
that I've seen.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
In many many years. Just four over the weekend in
my neighborhood. Uh just posted some video on the snake
Trapper page of a gray wrap snake in my driveway.
So yeah, man, the snake activity is very heavy this year,
(37:28):
seeing a lot more than expected. All right, buddy, you
have a good day.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Thank you, snake trapper. Keep me informed, and I'm waiting
for you to finally make the phone call where you
reveal that you have trapped a snake that you wish
to eat. So keep keep us informed because I want
to hear about the eating of the snake as well
as just the snake activity. Again that voicemail number two
(37:54):
five nineteen seventy six. That's two five six, nineteen seventy six.
Now I want to get to some news. Adams here
on theil Clanry Show. I'm a big fan. I'm an
easy I'm an easy to please person, and I'm a
big fan of road paving, road construction. I'm a love infrastructure. Now.
(38:18):
I love nature as well. I love talking about snakes
and turtles and raccoons and all that kind of stuff.
But I also love roads. And I've driven. I've driven
a lot, but in Alabama between Mobile and Tuscaloosa because
Roll tied Roll and also had a relative that went
(38:38):
to Marion Military Institute, and so I've spent a lot
of time driving up through beautiful places like Mount Vernon.
Is there another beautiful place? Yes, I was Mount Vernon?
And where else? Macintosh, Thomasville, Grove Hill, Jackson, Alabama. Just
(38:59):
just wonderful driving around in that part of the state. Well,
there's a news item I want to share with you
about this new project, the new four lane divided highway
project that is now being called the West Alabama Highway.
And if I understand this correctly, I'm not sure I do.
But if I understand it correctly, it would you'd be
(39:22):
able to drive from Mobile to Tuscaloosa on a four
lane road the whole way. So let's listen. Then I
may not understand it right, so let's find out together.
This report is from WSFA, A step sister station to
Fox ten.
Speaker 17 (39:39):
It's good news both for drivers in West Alabama and
for that area's economy. The state announced today a new
four lane, divided highway project they're calling the West Alabama Highway.
It will eventually connect Thomasville to Moundville. The announcement was
made in Democolus reporter Julia Avent has the details.
Speaker 14 (39:59):
Boy, think about something.
Speaker 18 (40:00):
Like it in our town.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
A highway in West Alabama has been a topic of conversation.
Mayor of Demopolis. What he Collins says since he was
a kid.
Speaker 18 (40:09):
Weston's Alabama has been ignored for so many years, and
now with this highway coming through, it's going to open
up more trade. It's going to give us opportunities. As
Sundry Singlean said, we can now compete.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
This building on Highway eighty and Demopolis, a former grocery store,
is now the construction headquarters. The project expected to create
seven hundred jobs at the peak of construction.
Speaker 18 (40:33):
Can you imagine the tax dollars, the housing dollars, the spinoffs.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Just it's more than we able could have dreamed.
Speaker 18 (40:42):
Bob, I'll just be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
And it's those tax dollars that made this project possible.
It's part of the Rebuild Alabama program funded by state
gasoline taxes program. Senator Bobby Singleton says he's happy state
lawmakers approved.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Now this is we're about to hear a state lawmaker
talk about how happy is that a tax was raised.
The Alabama gasoline tax was raised several years ago Republicans.
It was a Republican tax increase, and it was one
of these things where the politicians pretty much decided they
wanted to raise that tax before they really before they
(41:20):
got a lot of comment from constituents. Now, of course,
constituents always want new and better roads, so they probably
thought they could do it and get away with it.
But you'll hear this politician. He's a Democrat, and he's
excited because it was a Republican tax increase. He loves it.
He loves it when the Republicans raised the taxes.
Speaker 5 (41:39):
And says he's happy state lawmakers approved.
Speaker 19 (41:43):
Off the Republican party side because they usually don't believe
in voting on taxes and so, but everybody understood that
infrastructure was dying. We needed more bridges, we needed new highways.
We had potholes that people were complaining about. We had
people having problems on interstates where it's gonna be cloudy.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
This will take a lot of the.
Speaker 19 (42:03):
Pressure off sixty five Highway twenty fifty nine.
Speaker 5 (42:09):
State lawmakers passed the Rebuild Alabama Act in twenty nineteen,
and it has already paid for numerous road and bridge projects.
It's also expected to pay for planned lane additions to
US Highway forty three and State Route sixty nine, providing
a four way lane highway corridor all the way from
Mobile to Tuscaloosa market.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
We're good, all the way from Mobile to Tuscalosa, four lanes.
I hope I live to see it. What do you
think will happen first? This four lane road between Mobile
in Tuscalosa or the bridge, the fantasy bridge. The people
have been fantasizing about building. Which one do you think
will come first?
Speaker 17 (42:49):
News there, Julia, thank you so much. A completion date
for the West Alabama Highway has not been set, but
construction has already begun in the Linden area.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Okay, do they ever set in dates anymore? And our
in dates ever met?
Speaker 10 (43:06):
All?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Right back with more, Uncle Henry Show after a break
here on News Radio seventy ten WNTM take the break.
(43:29):
This is dal Call Henry Show on News Radio seven
to ten WNTM News headlines coming up in ten minutes. Now,
as I get older and older and older, it becomes
clearer and clearer and clearer that older people in the
(43:51):
United States of America are discriminated against and treated like garbage. Yes,
that is my belief, and I see example as it
every day people older people getting treated like garbage. Even
people that even people that like and listen to this
show will comment on Facebook while they're watching the show
(44:12):
on Facebook about boomers and they don't like older people
being in charge of anything, and they'll attack older politicians
or they'll attack older people. I hate the idea that
now that we've got this this boomer thing where they
call older people boomers and attack them like this. I
(44:35):
am proud to be a boomer, and you want to
use that word against me in a negative way. It
bounces right off of me. I do not give a flip.
And I hate to be like that, but I don't.
I don't give a flip. I'm proud to be my
age and I'm looking forward to being older, and I
and the people that that discriminate against the elderly. I
(44:56):
hope that. I hope I end up costing the money somehow. Yeah, yeah,
I hope I cost the government more money than I
put into it, thanks to these scumbags that call me
a boomer. Now, the reason I'm talking about how old
people are treated horribly in this country is because there's
something wonderful coming up. I think this is coming up
(45:18):
in June. It is called Miss Senior Alabama. It's a
pageant for women over the age of sixty. Yeah. Now,
I know younger people may not care about this because
they're young, and because they're young, they don't know nothing.
But older people, I think we will appreciate this. It's
(45:38):
a pageant. And back in the day we used to
have pageants. There was nothing wrong with having a pageant.
The Junior Miss pageant was a wonderful thing. Miss America
used to be wonderful. Well, now they got Miss Senior
Alabama coming up. And I want to share with you
a segment. This is from Fox ten's Studio ten, the
highly talented Chelsea SaaS on interviewing a lady Darlene Shavers.
(46:04):
A believer's name is who is Miss Senior Mobile. Yes,
we've got our own Miss Seniormobile, So let's listen together
and learn about Miss Senior Alabama.
Speaker 20 (46:14):
ELMA is a pageant for women ages sixty and above.
This year's competition is schedule for June seventh and Daphne,
and today we have Missed Senior Mobile twenty twenty five.
Darlene shavers with us. It's good to see you.
Speaker 6 (46:27):
Thank you, it's good to be here.
Speaker 20 (46:28):
So I actually met you at the Cajun Cookoff. You
were there with your husband. Did you guys have a
great time?
Speaker 14 (46:34):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (46:34):
We did.
Speaker 6 (46:34):
It was so much fun.
Speaker 20 (46:35):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Now do you hear the already this woman I've never
met her before, but you can hear the Southern gentility
in her mode of speaking to Chelsea that you can't
you can't have that level of Southern gentility at a
young age. You have to earn it through years of
being tortured on the planet.
Speaker 20 (46:55):
And of course you had our sash on as well.
You were telling me the backstory of how you got
into this, and I just think it's so inspiring for
women of all ages. This was your first pageant at
the age that you're at. What made you decide let
me jump into this journey.
Speaker 6 (47:11):
Well, last year, the Queen's Sisters as we call ourselves,
came to Mitchell Cancer Institute and gave out crowns to
the cancer patients and caregivers and all. And then they
came back. They talked to me then, but I wasn't
really sure. And they came back to the Think Pink
(47:31):
Tea in October and that was when I was convinced.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
To do it.
Speaker 6 (47:36):
So I applied. I had a preliminary interview and I
was chosen for Mobile.
Speaker 20 (47:42):
We're so excited for you because it's got to be
a lot. I'm sure to make that decision to put
yourself out there, but I know they're so happy that
you're in this position now. We're so happy to what's
the mission for you and for all of the ladies
who compete in Miss Senior Alabama.
Speaker 6 (47:58):
To get out and incur other senior women to get involved. Yes,
senior women, just because we retired, are you know, just
home and join ourselves. It's time to really get out
and make a new chapter.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
Yes, please, senior women and senior men, make a new chapter.
These young people, look, they don't know anything. You know this,
you see it. They don't know nothing. You know you've
been around the block. Get out there and share some
of that knowledge with these these really dumb young people.
Speaker 20 (48:31):
So you are representing the city amobile and you will
compete in the statewide pageant in just a few months.
What happens after that pageant for all of you? Do
you continue to work and give back to the community.
Speaker 11 (48:45):
Yes, we did.
Speaker 6 (48:46):
We're available to do what am I trying to say,
lectures or talks or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Where and that's all. See this as good older people
were good at that. We're good at lecturing. There's a
lot of people out loved a lecture.
Speaker 6 (49:01):
Come to anything that you would like to have seniors
represented because we want us, we want the ladies especially
to get out there and be seen and heard.
Speaker 20 (49:11):
Yeah, I'm sure. It's just such a sweet community too,
with you and all the other ladies involved. So let's
talk about the pageant itself. It's coming up. How are
you feeling about it?
Speaker 6 (49:20):
Scared?
Speaker 1 (49:20):
No, scaring?
Speaker 20 (49:21):
You're gonna be totally fine, I promise. I'm curious what
kind of levels of competition will happen on June seventh?
Is there an evening gown an interview? How does that
work for you?
Speaker 11 (49:31):
Gus.
Speaker 6 (49:31):
Here's an interview on Saturday morning. We do like a
little opening skit and then we have a little time
where we talk about ourselves, and then we do an
active wear type thing where they tell about us some
and then we do have the evening gown.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
All right, this is wonderful again. That's June seventh in Daphne.
You can find out more, I'm sure by going to
foxtentv dot com and looking looking for all the stuff
on Miss Senior out. All right, I'm out of time.
Thank you for listening. As they say in Sirland, have
a good one, and as they say in Theodore, take
it easy all right.
