Speaker 1 (00:04):
I believe that in both spirit and substance, our tax
system has come to be un American death and taxes
may be inevitable, but unjust taxes are not. The first
American Revolution was sparked by an unshakable conviction taxation without
representation is tyranny. Two centuries later, a second American revolution

(00:26):
for hope and opportunity is gathering force again, a peace
for revolution, but born of popular resentment against a tax
system that is unwise, unwanted, and unfair.

(02:56):
dot com. That's Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Please
Little Ronald Reagan there at the beginning, just sharing some
of his thoughts on taxes. He was right about so
many things when he was president. Not right about everything,
of course, nobody is but rite about most things, including
his thoughts on taxes, which he believed were always too high.

(03:16):
And we've known this, and I think just by watching
all of the fallout from Musk going through federal government
and looking with his Dodge team at all this this stuff.
We pay enough, In fact, we pay too much to
the federal government. We've seen all the waste in the
fraud they've been trying to expose. Just keep that in
mind on tax Day that we, yes, we do pay

(03:40):
too much to the federal government in taxes and probably
will for the rest of our lives. Now, we had
a Mobile City Council meeting today. It was if you
if you enjoy those kind of things, it's all on
YouTube for you City of Mobiles YouTube page. I would
encourage you if you like that kind of stuff. I

(04:01):
don't want to play too much city council stuff today
because it's just I don't know that it's healthy listening
to politicians uh talk about this, that and the other.
I don't know that's good for your mental health, especially
on tax Day. Here politicians on the radio a lote uh,
and today lots of politician hot air way more than

(04:22):
even last week, even though it was a shorter meeting.
A lot of hot air from politicians today. It's available
for you on YouTube. I will share with you maybe
later in the show some uh, some stuff from the meeting.
There's one thing I want to share with you right now, though,
a little glimpse into the life of Mobile Mayor Standy Simpson.

(04:44):
He'll be, he'll be, he won't be mayor in future years.
This is his last term as mayor. And today he
got up and read a proclamation that was sent from
Governor Ivy down to the city of Mobile so that
we could all hear about this. Now we're we're, we're.
I guess we're fixing to hit the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the United States of America. Is that

(05:07):
next year two hundred fiftieth anniversary? I lose count of numbers.
But this coming Friday the eighteenth is the anniversary of
Paul Revere riding around warning people. And there's the the lanterns.

(05:30):
What is it, one if by land, two if by
sea or something like that. So there's a there is
a an effort across the country to get governmental entities
to put two lights out Friday to commemorate the right
of Paul Revere. One of by land, two if by
sea or whatever. So the Mayor Standy Simpson read a

(05:53):
proclamation about Paul Revere and putting these lights up and
in and the effort if if all the municipalities around
the country put up two lights on the anniversary, I
don't know what that will signify that we remember our
history something like that. Go watch you watch the video
yourself and you'll find out why. But here is the well,

(06:15):
let's learn a little bit about Mayor Stimpson's heritage.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Out Therefore, why William Stimpson, the one hundred and eighth
Mayor of the City of Mobile, do hereby endorse the
national initiative and proclaimed Friday, April eighteenth, twenty twenty five
as two lights for Tomorrow Day and.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Two lights for tomorrow Day is what they're calling it.
And I'm sure that if every municipality in our country
would to put two lights prominently displayed, of course paid
for by the taxpayer, then somehow tomorrow would be a
better place, especially I guess if you're in the light

(06:53):
producing industry. Anyway, two lights for tomorrow days declared for
Friday and.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
The City of Mobile and so on a side. When
Paul Revere made his ride, he rode by Captain Isaac
Hall's house.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
You know, I've never heard that. I've never heard about
Paul Revere riding past Captain Hall's Captain Isaac Hall's house.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Captain Isaac Hall was my great great great grandfather. Wow,
thank you very.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Much, all right, so applause for a standy Simpson being
related to a Captain Hall back in the day. Captain Hall,
I guess, uh, the family had done well enough that
they didn't have to go ride and warn people. They
were they were, they were one of the warned. But

(07:43):
I guess you'd achieved the point. Uh, Captain Hall had
achieved a point where he didn't have to ride and
warned anybody that was left up, Paul Revere and a
few other people. So anyway, Uh, two lights for tomorrow
Day is on Good Friday. So if you see people
with two lights, I guess they're remembering history and hoping

(08:05):
for a better tomorrow. And we've now learned that Mayor
Stimpson's great great great great grandfather was around before Declaration
of Independence was signed. That was from today's Mobile City
Council meeting. Maybe I'll get to some more later in
the hour, but we've got plenty of other things to
get to on the Uncle Henry Show coming up. We

(08:28):
had the announcement today the announcement of another type of
cruise coming to Mobile next year. We'll get into that
and other things as the Uncle Henry Show proceeds forward.
Here on this Tuesday, I'm going to take a time
out for traffic and weather and words from our sponsors,

(08:50):
and then more Uncle Henry's show here on WNTM. It

(09:30):
is five twenty here on the Uncle Henry Show News
Radio seven ten WNTM News headlines coming up in ten minutes.
Telephone number two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. That's two five one four seven nine two
seven two three now. In addition to today's city council meeting,
it was filled with lots of politician hot air with

(09:53):
a cruise announcement where another a cruise company is going
to be doing some cruises and this I'm quite I'm
quite interested in this. This is going to start up,

(10:15):
I believe they said in March of twenty twenty six
American Cruise Lines. American Cruise Lines is going to be
stopping in Mobile. Now, I looked at the stories from
Lamyakmobile dot com, the land Yab coverage of this, and
also I made a rare visit to al dot com

(10:37):
to check this out. This company that is going to
be cruising and coming to Mobile is American Cruise Lines,
American Cruise Lines, and they are going to be doing
a cruise. If I understand this correctly, it's going to

(10:59):
be from New Orleans to Pensacola. People cruising along the
Gulf Coast, and Mobile will be a port of call.
And if I understand, this is something like an eight day,
seven night Gulf Coast cruise and the ship holds one
hundred and eighty passengers and they're going to be stopping

(11:23):
in Mobile and other spots along the Gulf Coast between
New Orleans and Pensacola. So you got to really love
the Gulf Coast for this kind of a cruise. American
cruise lines this. I love the idea of this type
of thing. Often wondered we had this cruise ship terminal.

(11:45):
You may remember a time a few years ago, sometime
back where we were worried that we had built a
cruise ship terminal and we wouldn't have a cruise ship,
and we were trying to get Carnival to come back.
You remember all that trying to get Carnival to come back.
Now is back, and they're going to be back in
the subsequent years. Now we've got this cruise ship line

(12:06):
coming in doing a more regional cruise for the Gulf Coast.
I always thought that Mobile, if Mobile wants to invest
a lot of tax dollars like we're investing in this
new arena. I've often wondered why Mobile didn't just go
and buy a used cruise ship. I know that sounds

(12:30):
odd to you. I used, Hey, they exist, look them up.
Go online, look up used cruise, used cruise ship for sale.
They're out there. You can buy a used cruise ship.
And I just I know mobilions. I know we want
regional travelers. We want a lot of people to come
to Mobile and spend their their tourist money here. But

(12:53):
I know a lot of people that you would It
wouldn't take much. You could do a cruise from Mobile
to the Florabama and back. And now that may not
be exciting to you, I know people that would buy that.
All you got to do is have an open bar
on a ship. People will show up. I know these people.

(13:15):
You could do it. You could do a cruise from
Mobile to the Florabama and back. Make it a weekend
cruise or some type of three day thing. People would
buy that. They would I know, I know these people.
They would love it. So look into it. Look into
buying a used cruise ship for Mobile. If we've got
enough money to throw around for this new arena in fact,

(13:38):
people are mad that there's not a new theater yet
included in this. If they could find some way to
have some type of a theater on a boat, people
would go for it. I think they really would. So anyway,
if you like using the cruise ship terminal and hopping
on and off these ships, there's going to be more

(13:59):
action down there with the American cruise lines, with the
Gulf Coast Cruise New Orleans to Pensacola, something that it's
something that I would not have thought of, but apparently
it's going to be a thing. So looking forward to this,
looking forward to seeing what kind of excursion if you

(14:19):
if Mobile is going to be a destination for some
type of excursion, where would you take them, Well, people
get off the cruise ship and they're going to spend
a night in Mobile, what would you do with them?
What kind of what kind of excursion would you do?
Would you take them to Bellingrath, take them to the battleship.
That'd be an old fashioned mobile cruise mobile and battleship.

(14:45):
But there's a I guess they're looking for cultural experiences here,
so different type of cruise ship visiting Mobile Alabama two
five one four seven nine two seven two three. The
telephone number that's two five to one four seven nine
two seven two three. Email address, Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia

(15:07):
dot com. Uh, yesterday had the Snake Trapper on the
show with a Snake Trapper Show. I've already received a
lot of great feedback on the Snake Trapper Show, people
stopping me and telling me that they learned a lot
from hearing snake trappers rhymes about snakes. UH got this message, oo,

(15:29):
tad Uncle.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
I just wanted to express my appreciation for yesterday's program
with Snake Trapper and Pat Nelly, a fella who leges
it that's his name, pat Riley.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
It was.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
It was entertaining and educational, all right. Learned a few
more things about the snakes that I was unaware of.
You'll you'll have to do something like that a little
more often, or or get some here's a suggestion. Round
up a former Crimson Tide player do what Scott hunters

(16:05):
up to the date. Maybe he can share a bear
brightt story or two with us.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
You know I would that would be lovely. In fact,
sixty seven year old Chris, you or anybody else if
you have guest suggestions that are non non politician would
love to hear those guest suggestions. Email address Uncle Henry

five one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That is

(16:33):

Speaker 6 (16:37):

i'd share them with you. And by the way, on
another subject, yes, you know I've called and talked to
you before about these all these ads they running now
on the radio for and TV for drugs this and
medication that.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
Yeah, this disease and that disease.

Speaker 6 (16:58):
Yeah, I'd never heard of new mocockles until just to
couple what a year or two ago? Are they? Are
they dreaming that stuff?

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Okay, sixty seven of you, old Chris, thank you for
the message. Are they dreaming stuff of I don't really know.
I'm with you though, I see drug ads for conditions
and diseases and syndromes that I'd never heard of before.

Oh Henry, Yes.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Sir, Hey, how you being? I talked to you lady?

Speaker 4 (19:10):
Well you are Pops, Pops, you're live on the radio.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, well, I'm kind of changing the subject.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
That's fine, talk to you.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I want to talk to you about Trump freezing. Is
two point two billion dollars a Harvard University? Yes, sir,
Well they called uself a private school, but they're taking
taxpayer money, right, and from what I understand, there are

(19:40):
two istioning fees are like quarter million dollars a year
or something like that, and they have fifty seven billion
in reserve. So why do they need our tax money
to survive?

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Oh they don't, Well they don't. You and I both
they don't. They'd like it, though, wouldn't we all like
some tax We'd all like some money dumped off at
our house. But it's they don't need it.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
I would save up a little less from that amount,
but right, But I just want to know your thoughts
about it. I mean, not only Harvard, any college even locally.
They government money, but they charge outrageous you know, to

(20:30):
each and to the students.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Right.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't understand how that all works.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
I don't either. They also they also had quite an
in depth relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
he ran a fundraising network on behalf of Harvard. He
was a visiting fellow back I think twenty years ago. Yeah,

(20:56):
they have a long history with Epstein up there.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
I didn't I've never heard of him.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, yeah, but oh.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
That's probably splitting the money fifty fifty.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Well there's Well again, you bring up the point that
they're one of the wealthiest schools out there. Why would
they need our tax dollar?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
They said, Well, I read for research. Okay, Well, if
you've got fifty seven billion dollars in reserve, and would
you be doing research anyway without the tax money.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Well, yeah, you can do a lot with what they've
already gone.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
But I guess basically what I'm saying is Trump's catching
you know what for it, And I agree with him
on there percent. And he's trying to get rid of
waste for all and abuse, and that falls into one
of the categories at least.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Well I'm I'm with him. Look, they as we as
we pointed out, they've got plenty of money. A lot
of people give them money. They Epstein was raising money
for him. They've got it. They can do. They can
do without a few years of funding.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well, a lot of years, I would think yeah, well,
but until a Democrat gets back in there.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Well exactly.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, that's just my opinion. But I just wanted to
ask your opinion. Don't that because I I've wondered about
that for a couple of years. It's uh, because I
have some relatives that go to local college and right,
and I find out they're getting a lot of taxpayer

(22:41):
dollars until charge tuition. Well, well local high school get
taxpayer dollars and charge of students tuition.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
You know.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
Uh, well, look I'm with you. They don't need the money.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Okay, yeah, good, you have good day.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Hey, Pops, thank you, thank you for calling. Sure, there
he goes pomps. Harvard also getting getting a bunch of
public money. And I think, if I remember right, not
only was Epstein running around up there. In recent years,
they've done segregated events. They've had they've had uh segregated

(23:25):
by race events up at Harvard, which is the kind
of stuff that I thought we I thought we were
done with that long time ago. Two five, one, four, seven,
nine two three. The telephone number.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Hello caller, Hey, uncle, Henry Navco Bill Navcoe, Bill, you
are live on the radio.

Speaker 8 (23:45):
How are you doing it?

Speaker 4 (23:46):
I'm doing pretty good. Thank you.

Speaker 8 (23:50):
The uh reason I called you had to do a
lot with tax day. Yes, and the most important thing
about tax day isn't a tax says, it's my birthday.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Oh hey, happy birthday, naw kovil.

Speaker 8 (24:06):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. And and well, one
of the reasons I called you was, you know, years ago,
I found Russe Limball on the radio and uh, I
like to phrase it, and he's the best friend I
never met, right, and and uh, of course he's gone now.

(24:27):
But I was a student of the EIB network. And
one of the things that Rush stressed was that is
the job of the caller to make the host look good.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 8 (24:41):
That's right? And and you know, some of these fusks
calling about your mama, I think they're from the seventies crowd.
You know, they're they're older. You know, they had all
those yo mama jokes in the seventies maybe early eighties.
But uh, but you know they need to help make
you look good.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Well that would I don't know that that will ever happen.
I don't know that. And I'm not Rush, so I
can't I can't work the magic that he worked, So
I don't I just don't think that those callers will
try to make me look good.

Speaker 8 (25:15):
But uh, well you're great. I enjoy thank you, and
uh and unfortunately I free range my chickens in this
time of day, and uh, otherwise I'd try to get
down to Saint Louis Market on Friday.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Well I won't be there this Friday, but uh, oh
which Friday. I was there last Friday, and I will
probably be there for the load to art Walk next
month whatever Friday.

Speaker 8 (25:42):
That is, Oh, okay, great, we'll uh maybe I can
find a chicken sitter.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
Okay, that would be wonderful.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
All right, good talking to you about Henry Hey.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Happy birthday, Navco Bill, hayday to you.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Happy birthday to you.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Happy birthday, navcobill.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
A happy birthday to you.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
It's a birthday on tax Day. I don't know. I
don't know what that would have been like for Navco
Bill all those years. It seems to we talk about
it every year when tax Day rolls around, but it's
more and more modern Americans seem disconnected from it. Maybe

(26:38):
because they don't notice how much taxes are taken out
of their paychecks. I don't know, but generations passed it
seemed to be a much more painful day than nowadays.
Maybe it's maybe less people are having to pay two
five one four seven nine two three the telephone number

You can do Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven to
ten WNTM. It's five point fifty news headlines in ten

(28:19):
minutes and then more Uncle Henry's Show. I'd mentioned that
today was a Mobile City Council meeting. And I got
a voicemail from a longtime caller Buford, who he phoned
in to talk about how he's going to be going

(28:41):
to a city council meeting sometime in the near future.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
And they say, Henry, one of my baby girls classes
going to the city council meeting in May on a
field trip. And Henry, my little girl asked five, And
of course I said yes. But Henry, I got a
stern talking to you by Missus Beufford that I am

(29:08):
not to tell them children how local government or government
in general really works. I am under orders, Henry, from
Missus Deeffer to keep these small school ChIL dreams innocence
and ignorance intact on how government works. So Henry, I'll

(29:29):
be biting my tongue. I want to tell these ChIL
dream they need something done. They need to bake themselves
a pie with a bunch of cash in it.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Right now. Wait, I've got to stop you there. Now,
you just said in your voicemail that you've got to
bite your tongue and not teach the little children that
if you want something done, that you have to bake
a pie with cash in it. Now, Bufford, I know
you you had relatives involved in government a couple of
generations ago. Did you ever? Was that an actual real story? Now,

(30:04):
let's sty I know that sounds nuts, but Bufford's Bufford
really was connected to this family that might have some stories? Bufford.
Is there a story about a pie that you have
not told me yet? Did somebody bake up? Was? Was
money delivered to somebody with in a pie? At some point?

(30:25):
I would like to hear that story. And by the way, Beaufford,
it's been a while. We haven't had any local politicians
get in trouble in quite a while. Maybe that's not
how Maybe things aren't done that way anymore. Maybe everybody's
on the up and up, Bufford. Maybe it's been a while.

(30:45):
It's been a while since anybody's gotten in trouble that
I can remember and actually had the charges stick. So
they may not be given pie anymore.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
They need something done. They need to make themselves with
a bunch of cash in it, or to donate a
bunch of money to Judge's campaign, or if you get
over end up earning one million dollars. The first thing
you need to do is to buy you a congressman.

(31:17):
But Henry I will be a good field trip driver.
I will smile and nod and keep the reality to myself.
I mean, now only in fifth grade. They don't need
to know the how the real world works all the way.
Yet they'll learn that plenty in time. But anyway, Henry,
looking forward. I always enjoy driving on my chilled dreams

(31:39):
field trips. So looking forward to taking my chill dream
to the city council meeting up there in May on
a field trip and gonna have a picnic lunch and
Cathedral Square.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
All right, and uh, well, they'll learn.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
About vacancy in downtown Mobil, whether they want to or not.
All right, Hanter, I'll keep you updated, let you know
how it.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Goes, all right, Well do please do and uh and
please review whatever your the stories of your the Beuford
Beufford told a story and I did not save the message,
I don't think, which was terrible. But he told a
story about Beaufford. Would it have been in the thirties.

(32:25):
Bufford had like a grandparent or a great grandparent that
was involved in politics way back, and it might have
been that long ago, nineteen thirties or something. But he
told a story, a family story, passed down through the family.
I think about counting votes and having somebody turned the

(32:47):
lights off in the room, So that's something could be moved,
something like anyway, Beufford, if you've got a pie story,
I want to hear about the money in the pie,
if that actually really happened. The other things I can
easily imagine happening in the past. And again I don't
want to cast any negatives toward those in office now.

(33:09):
It's been quite a while since Mobile has had an
issue with a politician getting in trouble with the law.
For a while, it was happening all the time, but
it hadn't happened in a while. Maybe maybe things, maybe
pies are not being exchanged the way they were in
the past. All right, out of time for this segment

(33:33):
of the Uncle Henry Show, but there is more to
come after the news. Got some more messages I want
to get into on a variety of topics, so that
has coming up after the news break. And as I
mentioned in the last segment of the show, if you've
missed a show recently and you want to find what
you missed, listen via podcast. The Snake Trapper Show is

(33:59):
available on the iHeartRadio app just looked for Uncle Henry's show.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I know you ain't gonna play this.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Message deleted.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seven ten WNTM. Thank you so much for listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. Now this half hour of the show,
I'm gonna check some voicemail voicemail number two five one
two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five one
two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave a message

(34:59):
for The Henry's Show. And I'm going to start the
segment off with a message from the guest from yesterday show.
Yesterday I had a guest in studio, snake Trapper, talking
about snakes. Here's a message from the snake trapper.

Speaker 7 (35:18):
Hey over here a snake trapper.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Hey man.

Speaker 7 (35:21):
I'm listening to your show after six o'clock where you
had the young lady from Birmingham reporting on road rage.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Now that was last week. There was a show last week.
If you did not listen to that podcast of that
episode or listen to it live, what a report from
Birmingham about road rage. I wanted to share with you
the listener last week because we had an Alabama law
Enforcement State trooper guy with advice on what happens if

(35:51):
you're driving and somebody gets really aggressive and somebody's raging
at you, And if I remember the advice correctly, I
think a lot of the advice was don't make eye contact,
don't look at him, and try to get away from him.
So that was the basic advice was to don't look
at them and flee. So, yes, Snake Trapper calling in

(36:12):
about the road rage episode port in on road.

Speaker 7 (36:15):
Rage, Henry, and I also you played a voice message
of sixty seven year old Chris from Locksley where he
stated that he was riding down the road and has
no idea what happened, but somebody went around him, flipping
him off, and he smiled and told him to have
a nice day or what have you.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
But over Henry, I picked that story apart.

Speaker 7 (36:40):
I'll tell you exactly what happened.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
What's sam?

Speaker 7 (36:43):
I do believe that sixty seven year old Chris beat
that fella to the last piece of chicken at the
church dinner.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
How could happen?

Speaker 7 (36:58):
Hate Kris? Let somebody else have some chicken?

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Brother, he loved that chicken. Over Here, I'll.

Speaker 7 (37:06):
Tell you why he can have all that stuff he
want over here. You have a good day, my buddy.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Snake Treverer. Thank you for that observation about sixty seven
year old Chris possibly getting the last piece of chicken
before that guy. It reminds me of when I was
growing up. When I was a little child, Mom fixed
fried chicken every Sunday after church Sunday afternoon, it was

(37:32):
fried chicken Day, and that was back for And I
don't know, there may be a younger listener, somebody in
their fifties listening to this, But once upon a time,
you'd buy You didn't you didn't go to the store
and get different parts of the chicken. You would buy
the whole chicken and you'd fry the whole thing. You'd

(37:55):
fry the whole chicken. And there was and and in
the family there was there was some negotiating for who
was going to get what piece of the chicken. Some
you know, Dad would always get the chicken breast because
he was out working for the family. Be all kinds

(38:15):
of stuff where you would negotiate on what piece of
chicken you'd get from the chicken. As a child, I
remember as a small child. H And again, modern people
may not even think about this. But I enjoyed eating
the heart. Now, I hope that doesn't make me a Weirdoh,
but I thought it was a treat At age four
years old, I didn't know any better. But yeah, chicken hearts,

(38:38):
all that good stuff. Snake Trapper, you eat rattlesnake. I
want to see you eat some fried chicken liver, some
fried chicken heart. They could really give you a perspective,
give you something to compare your your snake to once
you're eating your snake. Two five one, two one six,
nineteen seventy six. The number to call to leave a

(38:59):
message for the un Clantony show. That's two five one
nineteen seventy six. Now let's see. I've got a message
from the mad Trucker l D. This has to do
with the the spokeslady for President Trump and UH forgive
me for forgetting her name. She's a youngish, blonde haired

(39:19):
lady that does an outstanding job with the press briefings.
Snake Trapper. He uh called in a few weeks ago
praising her.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
L d.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
LD wanted to comment on all that.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Hey, uncle Henry l D.

Speaker 9 (39:34):
You know zat dram was talking about uh that leave
it girl whatever that I forgot she's a speaker, but yeah,
uh she said that brand's got to have a little
bit more uh kooth because they'd be speaking German if
it wasn't for us. And then Blady said that we had,
we had freed them twice in Germany.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, think about that.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Think about that, Uncle Henry. Yes we have. And one
of those jump, these those dumb French people done. They
flooded their country with Muslims and.

Speaker 9 (40:06):
Now they're getting stabbed and they're getting raped and they're
being killed, all those.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
Those those gentle Muslims that they let into the country.

Speaker 9 (40:19):
In fact, they're gonna take over that country.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
If you watch anything.

Speaker 9 (40:25):
On TikTok or YouTube or whatever, it's hard to find
spots over there where.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
There's not Muslims. Women would burk a shame on that.
But man, this is the third time in the row
that these French people they just lay over for anything.
We're not gonna bail them out this time. Next thing
they'll be Now what.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Is that now you say we're not gonna bail them
out this time? Are you sure? Because we're still paying Now.
I know France has I think France as you the listener. Know,
I'm not really expert on much. I think France has
more of a military than some of the other European countries,
as strange as that sounds. They may have more weaponry,
I'm not sure. But you don't think we're going to

(41:11):
bail them ount no matter what I mean. We pay
for most of Europe's defense, don't we as running NATO
and all that stuff. Don't we pay for just about
everything over there?

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Hey, driver, next thing you know, they'll be speaking Arabic,
all right, LD.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
The mad trucker. Yes, lots of immigration in Europe, changing
the nature of Europe. I've always wanted to make a
trip before I pass. I'd always wanted to take a
trip to England, maybe Germany, maybe France, Italy, just check
in on these countries. But now I'm a little I'm

(41:53):
a little more hesitant just by seeing the issues they're
having with just basic crime in the streets in a
lot of these countries, and also of course in Great
Britain and other European countries. You can get if you
post the wrong thing on social media, the police come
and knock on your door. I think I saw a
story last week about people in Great Britain. Some couple

(42:17):
claim they made a comment in a group chat about
their school board or their school and they had the
police show at the police show because they were critical
of their local school. So I don't know, but I
think we'll bail them out. LD. I think we're already
going to bail them out. I think we're still I
think it'd take another few terms of somebody like Trump

(42:38):
to get us out of the We're going to bail
them out no matter what situation. All right, there's more
to come as the Uncle Henry Show continues. You can
listen to previous shows. It's a podcast at NewsRadio seven
to ten dot com or on the iHeartRadio app. Just
look for Uncle Henry Show on the iHeartRadio app. Back

(43:01):
after the break. Uncle Henry's Show. News headlines coming up

(43:23):
in ten minutes. If you'd like to leave a message
for the show, two five one two one six nineteen
seventy six. That's two five to one two one six,
nineteen seventy six to leave a message for the Uncle
Henry Show. In recent weeks, lots of us have learned
more about the beavers that live around the Mobile area.

(43:46):
We've been told by a beaver advocate that attended a
recent Mobile City council meeting, that these beavers have just
as much right to be here as human beings. That
they are gentle beavers, that they are monogamous beavers that
mate from life, and they're multi generational. They let their
grandma and grandpa beavers live in the same house as

(44:06):
the uh the family beavers, and then the little children beaver.
Just all these wonderful beavers. They're gentle, they're monogamous, good neighbors,
and just as much rights as you have. We've learned
this in the last few weeks from a beaver advocate
that attended the Mobile City council meeting. Now, long time

(44:27):
caller Beuford has has been getting this education on the
beavers as well.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Hannah's sitting here pondering about the city mobile trapping.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
These beavers, and by the way, trapping the beavers. When
they started trapping the beavers, I think we heard from
Josh Wood that city council and Josh Wood has he's
gotten what seven seven hundred beaver emails from around the
world of people advocating for the beavers.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Hey, and I say trapping them all, I'm about hat
it with the dag on furry bourbon around here. But Henry,
I had an uncle that worked for Mobile County Roading
Bridge years ago, and he worked with a feller that trapped.
He set traps all over the county. Henry. They'd be
building a road or doing road and bridge work wherever,

(45:20):
and he'd see an interesting spot and he just set
him up old cornerbear trap or beaver trap or foothold
trap here or there. And I mean he was trapping
on other people's property. He's on the side of the
road and everything.

Speaker 7 (45:35):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Ahead of this feller. He they hired a new guy
and uh so part of the new hire process was
he had to take him to this doctor's office in
the middle of spring Hill to have him have a physical.
Don Henry, this old tramper fella that worked with my uncle,

(45:59):
he task to taking this young new hire to the
doctor so he could do his his pre employment physical.
And so he's got old Mobile County Roading Bridge truck
and he had a big old dead beaver. Well actually
on the way to the doctor, fella, go hold on, fella,

(46:20):
I gotta take a trap. And so he goes down
the ditch down his embankment pulled out this big, old
fat beaver, Henter. Those are the back of the truck,
I mean carries that old boy on over to the doctor.
And Henry, he's in the middle of spring Hill, I
mean spring Hill ladies in the springtime, spain Hill ladies

(46:40):
in their in their country club tennis skirts, walking to
and fro.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
I know exactly what you're talking about. These spring Hill ladies.
They're they're dressed. Some of them are dressed for tennis.
Some of them are just ladies who like to go
to lunch. But yes, the ladies of spring Hill they're there.
They're they're a big part of the city of Mobile.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
And this fella pulls this old beaver out starts skinning
him out in the middle of the parking lot, Henry,
I'm not kidding you. Of course, that caused a little
bit of a ruckus, and the phone calls started coming in.
And my uncle was in the office at the time
when they started getting calls about some fella cutting up

(47:23):
a crittering Springhel doctor's office parking lot. But that's just
their own employee skinning out of beaver. But uh, he'd
hate them, he'd skin them out and hand the hides
and cut it up and meeting all kinds of stuff. Anyway,
there's some Dagon characters come through Mobile County, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
And let me just say this. I know maybe in
modern times people would find that to be quite odd
and maybe even disturbing that someone would skin a a
beaver in a parking lot, But I'm glad that there
are people that have the ability to do this. This
is a guy that if civilization were to fall this,

(48:08):
how much would it affect that guy? Seriously, if civilization
fell due to some I don't even want to predict
what it could be, but if civilization fell apart and
the guy that's driving the truck checking traps, this guy's
going to be fine. He's he's just he can just
get take all of his stuff and kind of head

(48:31):
into the woods a little ways and he'll be just
fine because he can do all that. Now, I know
you're disturbed. You don't want to see a man skinning
a beaver in a parking lot. But still the guy,
the guy he was, he was practicing survival techniques. And
I have to admire a man that can take care
of himself and such your.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Way because up meeting all kinds of stuff. Anyway, there's
some dagone characters come through Mobile County, that's for sure. Yep,
you have a good day.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Well, thank you, Beauffred, and thank you for telling me
the story of the man that worked for the Mobile
County Road and Bridge Department who used to like to
set traps for animals all over the county and skin
them wherever he was. And I'm sure the guy's probably
still surviving somewhere out of time for this edition of

(49:26):
