Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
It says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you so much for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show here on this Thursday. Now, in
this half hour, in this abbreviated version of the Uncle
Henry Show, going to get to maybe a couple of
news items. I've got voicemail to get to. Let me

(00:38):
start off with a very brief item from Fox ten.
This has to do with the the Amtrak. You may
remember that the Marti Gras train whatever I think they're
calling it, the Marti Gras Service or something like that.
I've already forgotten the name. But coming up real soon,
we're gonna have service between Mobile and New Orleans, federal

(01:04):
government subsidized train service with some states kicking in some money.
City of Mobile kicking in some money for this. Now, uh,
there's a minor delay in starting the train service. Here
is the Lenis Lagon. What are the most popular broadcasters
on the Gulf Coast. Here is a Lenis Lagon from

(01:25):
Fox ten telling us that there's going to be a
delay in the beginning of the Chu Chu train service.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
We do want to talk about the excitement that the
community has been sharing with the resume of Amtrak service Inmobile. Unfortunately,
it's going to take a little longer than expected to
take that train to New Orleans. The chairman of the
Southern Rail Commission, which sponsors the route, says construction issues
have pushed back the timeline.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
And construction issues.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
A couple of weeks, workers have made progress laying a
sidetrack where the train will park overnight at the Mobile
stop Downtown. Construction on the train platform has also started too,
where passengers will get on and off the train. The delays, though,
means the service isn't expected to start now until the
end of July or early August.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Okay, all right, well, let's look, people haven't had the
train service for so many years. What's another couple of weeks?
All right, Well, anyway, that's for you. I know that you,
the listener of news radio seven to ten WNTM, are
delighted by the train. You can't wait to get on
the train. You look forward to riding on the train
between Mobile and New Orleans. You know, just enjoying the

(02:40):
ambiance of train travel. Maybe you've been watching movies where
people are on trains, like Murder on the Orient Express
and all that kind of stuff. So you'll just have
to wait a few weeks and then you'll be able
to take your federally subsidized cheech You train ride to
New Orleans and back. Now, let me get to that's
some voicemail that has stacked up here for the Uncle

(03:02):
Henry Show. Voicemail number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. Now, last week I shared on the
Uncle Henry Show some of the groundbreaking for the new
arena that replaces the Mobile Auditorium the Mobile Civic Center,

(03:24):
and I got comment on all of that the Mad Trucker,
the well, I should say l D, the retired Mad
Trucker heard all of that, the stuff I played from
the groundbreaking for the new arena, and he heard William
Carroll and all the other people talking at that. Here

(03:45):
is LD calling in about that.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Hey, Uncle Henry. LD did not get to hear your
show Friday. But I'm listening to do it right now,
like christ from Locksley, But I would like to say
something on this guy in this convention center.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
He's full of it. He is full of it.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Is a Christmas Turkey now and now I'm thinking who
I played somebody from the oak View group who talked
about all of the things that were going to happen
at the new arena with the return of ice hockey
and all that kind of stuff. I played William Carroll.
I played some mayor stemsing. I don't know who LD

(04:24):
is saying is full of it, but one of those
three are likely, at least according to LD, to have
it love it.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
He is full of it?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Is a Christmas turkey, Uncle Henry? And why do I
know this? Did the uh? Did the uh the ice
bears or whatever they were in Mobile? Did they laugh?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
No, that would be the Mystics, the Mobile mystic not
the ice Bears, although that's a good name.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Why lack of interest? What about when they promoted ice
skating in Mobile? Did it last?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Know? Why?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Lack of interest? Let me ask you this, Uncle Henry.
The train system that's getting ready to come through here
at the Boondoggle train.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, now we just talked about that. It's delayed by
a couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Why did it shut down? Lack of interest? My relative
took a train ride, Uncle Henry. He took a train
ride from Tuscaloosa or Birmingham, Alabama, down to New Orans
and he know what he said, Uncle Henry, I will
never do that again.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Now, why not, fir.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Why? I asked why?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I asked, Uncle Henry, what do all say? Because he said,
first of all, two fights broke out in the train
because there are a lot of low income people on there,
because the ticket fares are so low, drinking and fighting
was the main attraction.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
A point. Now, look, this is new. I've never heard
of this of fight me. Now, I'm not dis ld.
I'm not disputing you or your relative. I'm just saying
this is brand new. We've heard nothing about trains except
good stuff. I didn't Is this happening on Amtrak around

(06:19):
the country or was this an isolated incident coming from
from Alabama into New Orleans. I've never heard of this
fighting on the train.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
And on top of that, Uncle Henry, somebody defecated in
the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Now that's where you're supposed to go, I think would
be the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Stunk up the whole rail car. They couldn't breathe for hours,
couldn't breathe for hours. In fact, he said he had
to get up and leave that train car because the
stench was so bad he could not take it. None
of this is going to work, none of it.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
None of it.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
And after all, after everything, Uncle Henry wasn't a famous
politician in Mobile said come to Mobile.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
I don't got that, all right?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
All right, look, LD, thank you for telling me what
your relative said. But I have I'm going to try
to find out. I'm going to try and do some
research on this, because so you don't think anybody's going
to take the train. Now, It's true that if you
were to be a private train operation, you probably wouldn't

(07:31):
be able to get this going because there there's no
way you could make a profit on it. But with
the with these federal subsidized train rides, you don't think
people are going to line up to take the federally
subsidized train ride to New Orleans honight. Well, LD says
it's not going to work. So Ld, we will be

(07:52):
watching and waiting, and if you are correct, you will
be able to tell us that you told us so.
You will be able to tell us that you told
us so that it wasn't going to work. Now, will,
I don't really know. I'm not sure. I know there's
a lot of initial interest once it's been running for

(08:13):
a few months, are you still going to have the
same level of interest? I don't have the answer to
the time. I think Fred Richardson taught us. He tried
to teach us. What did Fred Richardson try to teach us?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
And time holds the answer to everything? In time, we'll.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
All know again. Tell me again, Fred and.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
Time holds the answer to everything. In time we'll all
know all.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Right, well know in time. Ld Thank you for your voicemail.
Back with more after the break. Here on The Uncle
Henry Show. Uncle Henry Show News Radio seventy ten WNTM

(09:10):
News Headlines coming up in ten minutes. Here on WNTM.
If you'd like to leave a message for the Uncle
Henry Show, the message numbers two five one two one
six nineteen seventy six, two five one two one six
nineteen seventy six. To leave a message for the Uncle

(09:33):
Henry Show and the listeners of the show. Let me
go into the messages. I've got them all stacked up here.
Here is a snake trapper call.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Hey Elva Henry snake trapper, Hey man, I see where
the Assisting Deputy Director of the FBI, Mister Dan Bongino
is opening up a correction uh uh, criminal investigation prove
into corruption. Uh. He says he's going to find out

(10:10):
who dropped the cocaine in the West wing of the
White House. Over Henry.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Now, I'm pausing there just to wonder, By the way,
I don't think it's great to have a bunch of
cocaine around a White House, no matter who the president is.
But why you know, there's on the list of things
that we'd all love to have investigated. Where would that?
Where would that be? I'm not saying it's good that

(10:37):
that that there was cocaine in the White House and
that we never found out where it came from. But
on the list of things that ought to be investigated,
where would you put that on the priority list?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Find out who dropped the cocaine in the West wing
of the White House, over, Henry. We all know who
it is. Wink wink, Yes, sir, Uncle Henry. Also, they're
going to try to find out who's been running the
country for the last two years that Biden administration.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Now I'm pausing again just to say nothing that now
that it's worth finding out, that's worth finding out, because
there's been a lot of things, not just pardons that
were giving out, but a lot of things the country
got involved in that only a president should allegedly have
the authority to get us into any move we made

(11:32):
with Ukraine, for example. Was Joe Biden fully aware of
all that stuff?

Speaker 4 (11:38):
They claim it was Hunter Biden, and I do believe
that that's who they're gonna find out drop the cocaine.
That is one of the most secure places in the country. Overnley.
They claimed if a fly was flying around in the
White House, they would know exactly what it was. They
would have its movement track and know what type of

(12:01):
flight it was, so they know whose cocaine it was.
And the reason I say that is because you hear
nothing out of the media about it. Can you imagine
if cocaine was found in the White House under the
Trump administration, Man, that will be a Congressional hearings on it.
I mean, it would not die, it would live forever.

(12:27):
Oh man, this is over Henry people. We the people
don't need to put up with any kind of corruption
in our federal government. There's a lot of it, and
it deviling needs to be cleaned up. And I do
believe that's what President Trump's going to do. Yeah, man,
It's just it's ridiculous how people that just don't care

(12:48):
because they know whose cocaine it was. They don't care.
As long as you can keep that little bad Orange
man out of there, that's all they worried about. They
hate the country, not they hate the.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Country morning, And I'm sorry to pause you again. There's
one investigation that bon Gino mentioned that I'm very curious about,
and that is the January sixth pipe bomb. You remember
that January sixth pipe bomb? I think where do they

(13:22):
find it near the d NC headquarters or something like that. Now,
that's one that Why on earth haven't we heard anything
else about that? Why was that not solved pretty quickly?
You just talked about how flies they can track a
fly in the White House? What about that pipe bomb?

(13:44):
I'd be curious about that.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
One care because they know whose cocaine it was. They
don't care. As long as you can keep that those
bad Orange man out of there, that's all they worried about.
They hate the country now, they hate the country more
than then. And uh, I'm telling you, man, they need
to get that hatred out of their heart, because hatred

(14:06):
will destroy you. I mean it destroyed of Fannie Willis. Uh,
it's going it's going to destroy Latasia, James uh Man.
Anytime you got hate in yard, it's not a good thing.
It will destroy you.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
You have a good day, my brother Snake Trepor, thank
you good advice on the hate in the heart. Certainly, Uh,
those kind of things like hate and anger also Uh,
not that there can't be righteous anger, but all of
those kind of emotions can be quite corrosive inside the

(14:42):
human spirit.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
How can people hate each other? I don't comprehend. I
don't comprehend people that don't know how to forget. We've
all all short of the Lord. None of us are perfect.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Now.

Speaker 6 (15:02):
I can forgive, but I can heard. I'm gonna tell
you about me. Something is some things in life I
can't forget, and that is to prepare you for the future.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's very deep, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
Well, don't you think that?

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Do you know?

Speaker 6 (15:20):
God said it's got to change.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
He says it's going to.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
Come a day that the lions will sleep with the lamps.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
I'll let you ponder that as we're out of time.
Thank you for listening to the Ankle Henry Show. As
they say in Sarahland, have a good one. As they
say in Theodore, take it easy, all right later
