Speaker 2 (01:04):
It says the Uncle Henry's Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM, thank you for listening to the Uncle
Henry Show. I really do appreciate it. I really do.
There's many other jobs out there that I would prefer
not to do, so thank you for letting me have

(01:26):
this one. I do appreciate it very very much. And No,
the voicemail there that said I was disgruntled not true.
I'm I am gruntled. I'm not disgruntled. I'm actually gruntled
and it's good. It's good to be gruntled. Well, once again,

(01:48):
here we are together, me and you, trying to figure
out what on earth is going on in the world
around us. If you'd like to call in on the
program to talk about something with me, feel free to
do so. There's so much to get to. We have
so many things talk about on the local level, neighborhood level,
street level, maybe even in the same room, I can
find an issue. But on the room level, neighborhood level,

(02:11):
local level, state, national, international, global, galactic, spiritual, interdimensional, it's
all there's something going on everywhere throughout time and space
that we can talk about all these things. Telephone number
two five to one four seventy nine, two seventy two three.
That's two five to one four seven nine two seven
two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now,

(02:33):
I've been very busy today out out and about a mobile,
interviewed some business people, was riding around. Somebody ran a
red light in front of me out in Westmobile. That
was very exciting. You want to talk about getting your
getting your getting your your heart going and getting the
adrenaline going. And just if you're feeling blah, here's my

(02:53):
advice if you're feeling bla. If you're feeling blah, just
drive out in Westmobile and spend some time at some
red light you might have. You might see a red
light runner. I'll get you. I came very close. I
came very close to getting hit by this person because
the light my light turned green, and I did what
I thought I was supposed to do when the light

(03:14):
turns green, and I I gently pressed my shoe clad
foot onto the accelerator and my car moved forward and
then zoom, somebody went right. They came that close. They
came that close. Thank the Lord that I was not

(03:34):
hit by the car. So that got my blood pumping.
So I had that going on. Now. I didn't have
time to watch Donald Trump, the President of the United
States of America. I didn't have time to watch this
press conference about the Liberation Day day of tariffs for
reciprocity across the planet. I did not, so I don't
know all the INDs and ouncement to talk to you about.

(03:55):
I do know, though, that I saw that he held
up some charts with those that mag magnificent chart. Again,
I don't know what's on the chart, but what a
great chart. Whoever is charting for him is doing a
great job. They're certainly going to be able to write
their own ticket after the Trump administrative administrations over making

(04:15):
charts for people all over the country, maybe all over
the world. We can talk about any of that stuff. Now.
There was something I just wanted to bring up from
the I don't know what department you would file this under,
but I was watching the news and saw this story
about the City of Mobile is looking at possibly buying
a building to put the Mobile Animal Shelter in. They're

(04:39):
going to take a pre existing building and try to
see if they can buy it and retrofit it and
make it an animal shelter. And the city Council of
Ben Reynolds was interviewed on Fox ten and he said
something that really really sparked my imagination, and briefly this
is what was said. You'll hear Brendan Kirby, the frequently

(05:01):
disheveled reporter, talking to Ben Reynolds.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Ben Reynolds, who is sponsoring the resolution to purchase of
the building on the belt Line, says, it's nearly the
geographic center of the city.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
It'd be nice to move the animal shelter closer to
all the residents of the city, rather than everybody from
the West part having to go downtown to an outdated facility.
So it makes absolute sense logistically for an animal shelter
to be centrally located in our growing city.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
All right, So it makes sense for an animal shelter
to be centrally located because it would be convenient for
the citizen taxpayer, the taxpayer that is funding all of this,
all of these these arenas and things that they're building,
airports and things. It's it's important to have the animal
shelter centrally located to be convenient to the taxpayer. Well,

(05:51):
I like the idea of centrally located so that it's
convenient for the taxpayer. So I know it's probably I
don't know that they can afford to do it now
because we're going deeply in debt on this arena. But
maybe for future generations, some future politician, please move the

(06:14):
city offices from downtown Mobile. And in fact, I wish
I wish they'd take the animal shelter and put that
in Government Plaza and then take the city council offices
and put them in this building on the belt Line.
That's exactly what I would like, because as a citizen
of the City of Mobile, it is a hassle to

(06:35):
get downtown and try to get anything done in Government Plaza.
It's a hassle going downtown. It's always been a hassle.
It's even more of a hassle now that everybody's smoking
dope and on their smartphone riding up down the streets
to the City of Mobile. You never know when somebody's
gonna run a red light in front of you and
you won't even be able to make it down there. Now,
if you really cared about the taxpayer, you'd put the

(06:57):
animal shelter in Government Plaza, and you take that building
on the the Beunta line. You put the city council
in there. You'd have the meetings in there. You had
the meetings at night so people could actually attend the
meetings instead of find out about them later. And then
if we wanted to talk to our council people and
all the other people and find out what are they
what are you doing? What are you people down there doing,

(07:18):
then you'd be able to more easily get there. It
would be centrally located. It would be done for the citizen.
It would be convenient for the taxpayer. Having all these
government offices in downtown Mobile. Is who's it convenient for?
Because we know it's not. It is not convenient for
the people paying for it, is not convenient for the taxpayer.

(07:39):
It is not convenient for the citizen. Who's it convenient for?
Just that's I know this will never come to pass,
but I'm just saying for a future generation, maybe, maybe,
maybe there's a future mayor in some ladies womb right
now in this little baby in the womb is being

(08:03):
forced to listen to this show because their mom is
taking care of their elderly great grandfather in some type
of hospice situation, and the sound waves of the Uncle
Henry Shows is vibrating into the womb. Maybe this child
will grow up to me mayor, and then they'll do
something and make it convenient for the citizen instead of
having the citizen go downtown, try to figure out where

(08:24):
to park, try to go through security, get in there
and find out, oh, the meeting happens in the morning,
and the meeting, oh, just future mayors, please think about this,
all right, As I mentioned many other things to talk about,

(08:46):
We'll get to that, and I'm sure some other stuff
will pop up that I have no idea what it is.
All of that and more on the way on the
Uncle Henry Show here on news radio seven to ten WNTM,
and on the iHeartRadio app preset Uncle Henry Show, News

(09:17):
Radio seven ten WNTM. It is five twenty news headlines
coming up in ten minutes from Fox ten and Fox
Radio National News. Telephone number here if you'd like to
call in two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. That's two five one four seven nine two

(09:38):
seven two three, and I do have callers. Callers are
ready to speak.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
Hello, caller, Hey, good even Henry.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Cliff Cliff, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
Oh Ginry. The Democrat Party or the leftists, you know
they dublin down on this lying and fooling people.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, what was what's the latest doubling down of lying
and fooling.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
When when you say that Elon Must don't work for
the government, but he's finding out where all the money
is being spent and going. Do they know that NNGO
stand for now non governmental organizer and they're the ones
getting the money and spending it.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Well they should know that, Brian.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Hopefully another thing they say, Elon Must didn't all a
security clearance? Okay, Henry. If the guy builds rockets for NASA,
does he have to have a security clerics? Yeah, I
believe in top secret.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yes, I believe he has some very high level security
clearances because of what you just mentioned. The guy is
flying things into space back.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. I know most of the people
that's protesting that you see on TV doing the burning
and stuff, they probably most of them getting paid. But
you do have a bunch of stupid people on the lift.
But most of that is not done by the American
people because we're too busy. The Lift is paying these people,

(11:25):
and they're paying people like Jasmine Crockett too, you know,
just to act foods and stuff like that because they
on the door. But Cliff, understand here, yes.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Sir, I was just going to say, you mentioned Jasmine
Crockett and all this stuff. The approval ratings for the
Democrats continue to drop. None of that's working, Cliff. Maybe
people are waking up. I think the latest approval whole
I saw for the Democrats was down to something like twenty.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Yeah, but they don't care because if you look at
the news, you'll see all these people that they bust
in the scream and holler about stuff that really don't
make any sense. That's what some of my people are
looking at, and then they're thinking this stuff is true
about people really angry about finding out where their tax

(12:19):
payers money or being spent when it's a whole lot
of mad people out there, and they're angry at the
Democrat Party, but they double down because they got that
kabbala going and George Soros and Sololenski put out there.
If you tell that loud enough, you know, you'll get
a few people to believe it. That's right, Well, eventually
you will believe it. And so, but I just wanted

(12:43):
to let you know a lot of people are waking up,
especially my people something. You know. I kind of was
about to give up hope on some of them, but
they seem to be coming the other way because the
Democrat Party are losing and they started to getting weary too.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
You have blessed they are, So if thank you for
your phone call, you have a blessed day as well.
Two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
That's two five to one four seventy nine two seven
two three. Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com.
You know, and we've been hearing I don't understand and
many people don't understand why you'd be mad at somebody

(13:19):
finding government waste. We've been told now for a couple
of decades that social security was just in danger of
being falling apart, there wouldn't be any money left over
once you got to retire in age, it wouldn't be
any money left because the government had bankrupted it.

Speaker 7 (13:37):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I think we should praise anybody, and we should ask
even more people to come in and find out if
anybody's stealing, if anybody's wasting the money to save these things.
People have a great deal of emotion invested in social Security, Medicare,
and Medicaid. Let's have some people come in and save
them from the fraud. Then those programs will be available

(14:02):
when you need them. Hello caller, Hello caller.

Speaker 8 (14:11):
The hell you Uncle Henry?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yes, sir, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Hey, uh I get a question for you. I was
I was watching are listening to the news today to
uh the Uh? I guess what do they call him?
A liberation Day? With Donald Trump's call liberals liberation day
with the pariffs that need he announced today?

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yes, So.

Speaker 8 (14:36):
I just can't wrap my head around how is it
good for you know, how is it terrible for this
country for the United States to impose a reciprocal parff
or what he has proposed was like not even a
full reciprocal tariff on our trading partners and countries around
we do business with and stuff like that. But it's
perfectly fine and okay for for for these other countries

(15:00):
to have these these terroris on to do business with
us or products coming into their country. And I never
I didn't. The media is going insane about this. It's
you know, it's ten out of ten stories today. So
how could it possibly be terrible for this country to
to put that type put to put something like that

(15:20):
in place, But it's perfectly fine for everybody else.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, I don't. I don't know that there's an answer
that anybody will give you to that, because that the
way you've framed it, it's obvious what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
But you're seeing a lot of paint. You're seeing people
that don't like these status quo shaken up. You see
a lot of people that don't like Uh. They see uncertainty,
and markets hate uncertainty. So you see stock markets going
up and down. Uh, some individual businesses uh in with
trouble because some individual businesses get things they need to

(15:54):
do whatever they're doing from from out of the country.
It's just there's automatically gonna be negative coverage of it.
Because Trump's doing it. That doesn't mean it's all good
or all bad. But but you're gonna get autom You're
gonna get automatic negative no matter what.

Speaker 8 (16:11):
Gotcha. Yeah, And I'm not saying it is it is
gonna be great, But I think maybe it's worth finding
out at this point. What you know, what happens and
and and and let's we got to give it a chance,
because you know, the current situation just isn't working for
a lot of just uh, working class people and people

(16:31):
just kind of trying to raise families and stuff in
this country. You know, they're the jobs aren't that great.
They're good, but not that great. It's a great country.
But hey, one more thing. I don't know if I
have time, but I want to ask you, what do
you do? You're you're media man, what do you do?
You know when you come in and get do show
prep or you're getting ready for your for your what
do you do to get your news? You know and

(16:53):
filter through your news and you know, what do you see?
What's your thought on on on on that?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Where do I get my news? Well, I start out
in the morning. In the morning, I watch Fox ten
with Sarah Wall and Matt Bearing Time and and all
the other people on there. To get some local stuff,
I read lanyapmobile dot com. I get a lot of
local news from Landyap. I scour the x app because

(17:25):
of the freedom of speech there. That's where I get
all the opposing opinions and opinions that I line up
with as well, and I pull it. I get news
from just about any source I can anything I can find.
Like a lot of people nowadays, you open up your
phone and there there. It feels like unlimited options to

(17:46):
go find news. But I get local news from Fox
ten and from Landyap, and I get national news from
just about everywhere. Uncle Henry Show News Radio seventy ten WNTM.

(18:22):
It is five thirty five. You can hear me every
weekday Monday through Friday or ninety five KS Jane playing
Today's Hottest Country, Morgan Wallen, Jelly Row, Lady Wilson, and
then addition on Morgan Wallen. By the way, Morgan Wallen

(18:46):
in the news this week for a ridiculously silly controversy
where he was on Saturday Night Live this past weekend.
I did not watch it because it's on after ten
thirty pm, which is kind of ridiculous. But at the
end of the show, at the end of Saturday Night Live,
where everybody stands around and pretends to like each other,

(19:07):
whether up there pretending to like each other, hugging each other,
blah blah blah. He instead of doing that, he just
bolted off the stage and left the studio. And then
he went on Instagram and posted a picture of his
private jet would the caption get me to God's Country.

(19:28):
So people have been wondering, what did he have a
bad experience? Does he hate New York? Why did he
do that? Why did he say that? Well, the reason
I'm bringing this up is because because this has gotten
so much attention, he's now selling He's now selling hats
and t shirts that say get me to God's Country.

(19:51):
So I applaud the instant capitalism. Controversy was generated. He noticed,
he and his people noticed controversy was generated. People were commenting,
and so they said, how can we make a buck?
How about some getting me to God's Country hats and shirts?
Well done, well done, very very good. It reminds me

(20:12):
of the days when KP of shirt butter dot Com
put together quickly the Uncle Henry Show Sack, which became
a classic, just a classic sales item here on the
Gulf Coast, so respect to the capitalism of Morgan Wallen.
Two five one four seven nine two seventy two three.

(20:33):
The telephone number here on the Uncle Henry Show, that's
two five one four seven nine two seventy two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Uh. You can also leave
voicemail messages if you're shy about talking live on the radio.
The voicemail number was two five to one two one six,

(20:54):
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six
nineteen seventy six. Now, I do have a message from
the Snake Trapper about and you're gonna be glad of this.
I think you're gonna be happy when I tell you
actually left a message about snakes.

Speaker 7 (21:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
No, you love his political commentary, That's why you tune
in for him. As first political commentary. I like to
hear about the snakes.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
Hey, okra Henry snake Trapper, Hey man, I'm getting all
kind of reports of snakes everywhere, Uncle Henry, everywhere. Yes,
I know a lot of Turkey hunters work with actually
about four of them, and they are seeing snake activity,
Uncle Henry. So I would recommend that if you're wandering

(21:44):
around in your woods, by your house, or or around
your lake or pond or anything, be aware. Snakes are out.
My neighbor next to me, Uncle Henry.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Before this voice goting mail goes any further, is it
now in a future call and a future message snake trapper?
Is this more snakes than last year? Are we having?
Are we somehow having a banner year for snakes? You know,
we had the big cold snap with the giant snow
and everything that didn't that wasn't that didn't cause the

(22:16):
snakes to kind of take it slow. What do they
come out of the ground extra angry? Are they extra
mad this year because of the snow we had? Is
that's what let me know about this these because in
the past you have called us and told us about
snake anger, the emotions of snakes. If you have any

(22:38):
any clue to the the what is behind this the
snake's everywhere situation? Are they angry because of the snow?

Speaker 7 (22:49):
You aware? Snakes are out. My neighbor next to me,
Uncle Henry, was out by the lake and he spotted
a cotton mouth out there. So people, if you're in
the woods, you're in about as much danger as a
piece of chicken around sixty seven year old crib Actually,

(23:12):
you're probably not in as much danger because you can
make it and survive from a snake bite. But that
piece of chicken ain't gonna make it around cribs. I
hear he loves him some chicken. Don't go any but
he can have all that chicken he wants. I'll stick
to of them rats and bugs and Arma Dissance, Well,

(23:33):
now I ain't eat no dad gum on dealer.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Wait a minute, did you just admit in a voicemail
message that you eat rats? Did I hear that you
eating rats?

Speaker 7 (23:45):
I'll stick to of them rats and bugs?

Speaker 2 (23:48):
And has he mentioned them before? I feel like I
would have remembered rat eating being a topic on the
program Arma Distance.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
Well, now I ain't eat no dad gum on dealer.
But yes, sir uh. But y'all just be careful out
there because the snakes are out. We seem to have
more activity this year than in the past. Just be aware.
You have a good day, my buddy.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
All right, snake trapper, thank you for your Snake Report,
you know, and I need to go out and get
that sponsored. Maybe we can, uh, iHeartMedia can team up
with the Trapper and do some time of snake Report,
because we'd get there would be weirdos tuning in for
that specifically. You know what I'm talking about. All right,

(24:35):
Let's see two five one four seven nine two seven
two three. The telephone number that's two five one four
seven nine two seven two three email address, Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot com. Let's see. Uh, I do have
time for a little bit more here. Yesterday I had
call from ld the Mad Trucker about legalizing dope in

(25:01):
Alabama and his desire for legalized gambling of every kind
in the state of Alabama. He made a follow up
call due to his passion on this topic.

Speaker 9 (25:12):
Hey, Uncle Henry, Ald, just tell me I'm wrong, Sir,
tell me I'm wrong. I challenge any listener to tell
me I'm wrong. You know, when the football season rolls around,
I'm gonna call my bookie and I'm going to gamble
money and he's going to get all the profit from it.
Unlike it there was legal sports betting here. When I retire,

(25:34):
I'm probably gonna imvibe in marijuana, and I'll probably have
to go get that. It's somebody else make the money
in the state.

Speaker 7 (25:41):
Won't get the taxes.

Speaker 9 (25:42):
If I want to go to the casino this weekend,
which I may do, I may not guess who's gonna
get the money. The state of Mississippi and the casino's
over there. So no matter what you say, it's happening anyway.
All these things are happening anyway. People are gambling in

(26:03):
this state. People are going to the casinos from this state.
People are smoking marijuana.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
From this state.

Speaker 9 (26:12):
Why would you not realize some things you just can't stop.
Some things you have to throw your hand up and say, well,
let's just regulate that. You know what out of it.
Not very many people are gonna do it anyway, And.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
There you go.

Speaker 8 (26:27):
But they won't do it.

Speaker 9 (26:28):
They won't do it the state of Alabama. But I'd
like to know how much money they have seen Alabamians
give to other states for the lottery, especially especially you
go anywhere across state lines, Uncle Henry, when there's a
five hundred million dollar jackpot, you can't even get into

(26:51):
a gas station. All the Alabama plates in the parking
lot they're doing it anyway, why would you not let
people do it here? Well, I mean, here's the thing.
I really don't care anymore because if.

Speaker 7 (27:05):
I want to go to ca see now.

Speaker 9 (27:06):
I'm gonna go across the state line if I wanted,
if I wanted to go gamble sports betting, I'll just
call my books, or if I want to go get
a lottery ticket, I'd head over to Florida get all along.
So that's the revenue in the state of Alabama never
gets from one man. And there's about probably two million
people that do that weekly and they could have the revenue,

(27:29):
but they don't want it.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Held. Thank you for your voicemail. I'm gonna save that
in the archives. If I'm ever forced to interview a
state legislature legislator again that ever happens where I have
to interview a state legislator, I'll play your message to
them and find out what they say. Uncle Henry Show

(30:56):
but I do never ever ever an episode.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Well, sir, thank you. I really appreciate you saying that.
I really I'm honored by that, and I appreciate it.
I do.

Speaker 10 (31:08):
Yeah, I go way way back with Mary Ellen Johnny
how about that?

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Oh what that is? Way back? Yes?

Speaker 10 (31:15):
From mabb days. Yeah, anyways, love you man, Roll Tide Brother.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Roll Tide Row. Thank you Storm and Number. Thank you
for the phone call.

Speaker 10 (31:27):
Enjoy yourself every day.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Thank you, thank you, and I hope you have a
very safe, safe trip out to California. Please uh please
call back and tell us what you see, because we
hear all these stories about California. I don't know where
in California you're going, but I went to California in
the in the twenty tens, the only time I've been

(31:50):
out there. I went out to San Diego in Palm
Springs for a few days, and it was beautiful. That
was the one thing that I didn't realize how gorgeous
California is. Certain parts of California very beautiful, like many
other parts. Of course, there's beauty. I find beauty in

(32:13):
Macintosh and Mount Vernon. I do McIntosh, Mount Vernon, Grove Hill, Jackson, Thomasville.
Not as much beauty up near Mary in Alabama. But
if you turn back around you can find some more beauty.
We have beauty all over the country. Every state of
the Union has wonderful beauty. But California's got plenty of it.

(32:34):
And I hope you see the beautiful part and you
don't see anything that's gross when you're out there. All right,
let's see, I don't I guess I don't have a
time for I had a voicemail coming up. In the
next couple episodes, I'll share with you. I've gotten some
messages from Beauford. Bufford's been out looking at yard signs

(32:55):
and also asking people about who they're voting for in
the mayor's rate, and be listening for that. In the
next few episodes of The Uncle Henry Show, want to
share some of the calls from Buford in what he
is seeing and what people are telling him as he
goes out and does his unofficial canvassing finding out what

(33:15):
people think these days about the mayor's race. All right, well,
just about out of time for this hour of show.
You just heard Storm and Norman say, listens online to
the podcast. I'll remind you again that every episode is
a podcast. You can hear it on the iHeartRadio app.
And I've told you that the app has been updated

(33:38):
and they've made it more like a car radio. I
really I use it a lot more now because I
can listen to radio in any city around the country.
You can just enter a zip code or a town
and go across the dial. On the app, it's very
much like using a radio, and you can set presets
for your favorite stations. So set a preset for WNTM,

(34:00):
preset for the Uncle Henry Show on the iHeartRadio app.
Set precepts for all your other favorite stations and favorite podcast.
All right, there's more to come after the news break
here on WNTM. It says, the Uncle Henry Show here

(34:34):
on News Radio seven ten WNTM. I appreciate very much
you listening to the Uncle Henry Show, available here on
News Radio seven ten WNTM, and also on the iHeartRadio app.
Anywhere you can get that smartphone to work. You can
get this show on the iHeartRadio app. Please set a

(34:55):
preset for the show in the app and then the
show will pop up automatically. Now, in this half hour
of show, going to get to some voicemails and news items.
I may mix them together. I may just mix them all,
just smear them all together there in the show this
half hour. Let me start with a very positive, very

(35:17):
positive voicemail that has been done phoned in from West Locksley, Alabama.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Uncle, what's the game? A beautiful day here? Calling from
the front porch in west Locksley at eleven twenty three
a m. To April two K twenty five. I feel
it appropriate, uncle, if you would allow me to read
the following. This is the day which the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be.

Speaker 10 (35:45):
Glad in it.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
That comes from Psalms one hundred and eighteen, verse twenty four.
Thank you, uncle Henry, you have a blessed day. Excuse me,
you have a blessed day in a roll type roll tied.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
To you too. Thank you for blessing me with the
Bible verse. I love the fact that as you read it,
the chimes kicked in, the wind chimes, and it is
a it's been a blustery, gusty day on the Gulf coast,
a lot of those winds coming in off the Gulf.
I want to hear the wind chimes, if you don't
mind a little bit.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Hopefully, uncle, if you will allow me to read the following,
This is the day which the Lord has made, We
will rejoice and be.

Speaker 10 (36:24):
Glad in it.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
That comes from Psalms one and eighteen, verse twenty four.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yes, indeed, thank you again. I could listen to that
over and over again. In fact, I think I will
before I move on to a news item. Here is
the same Bible verse read by local radio celebrities Shelby
Mitchell of ninety five kf.

Speaker 11 (36:45):
J Psalm one eighteen twenty four, King James version. This
is the day which the Lord hath made. We will
rejoice and be glad in it. New International version, this
is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice
and be glad in it.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
All right, So we've had both male and female vosses
delivering to you Bible verses here on the Uncle Henry Show.
What more could you ask for? Well, I know you've
probably asking for quite a bit more and you probably
won't get it. But here, let me jump into some
news items here for you, and I'll get back to
voicemail before I'm out of this half hour now. Yesterday

(37:26):
mobile city council meeting. I mentioned on the show yesterday
that they were talking about buying a property and mobile
and turning it into an animal shelter instead of building
a brand new animal shelter. Maybe save some money by
buying some property and turning it into an animal shelter.
I've got more details on the story for you from

(37:48):
Fox ten. The story delivered to us by the frequently
disheveled investigative reporter Brendan Kirby of Fox ten, and we'll
hear the story introduced by Cameering Tailor, the new anchorman,
and Lenise Lagan, probably the most popular television personality in Mobile.

(38:08):
Here we go with the story about the animal shelter
that could be bought.

Speaker 8 (38:13):
For a possible compromise on as sallied plan to build
a new animal shelter.

Speaker 5 (38:18):
They're considering a proposal to buy a building on the
I sixty five service road.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
Our Brendan Kirby is in the studio with the latest.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
And Brendan, the city had plan to build a new building, right, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
That's right, Cameron, Lenise, but city officials say that that
proved to be too expensive. Let's say this could be
a cheaper alternative. No one's disputing that the Mobile animal
shelter off of Virginia Street is inadequate, old, small, and
poorly located. Mayor Sandy Stimpson had hoped to build a
new shelter on Montlamar Drive.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
I'm sorry to pause there, but poorly located. The current
animal shelter, as lousy as it is, is also poorly located.
So anything around there. If you live or work around there,
just understand that wherever you live or work is considered
poorly located by the investigative reporters and Mobile and.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
The city even cleared the land, but he put that
plan on hold after receiving an estimate that the project
would cost twenty million dollars, more than double what the
city had been expecting. Plan B is a building on
West Interstate sixty five service Road. The vacant structure used
to be a broadcast station for the religious broadcaster Trinity

(39:36):
Broadcasting Network, which closed the mobile studio in twenty nineteen.
It's now for sale and the city council next week
will vote on whether to buy the five and a
half acre property for eight hundred and fifty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 12 (39:49):
The property that's on the agenda now is centrally located
in the city and it's just a good value for
the city now. One of the considerations for it is
the animal shelter and what it would cost to renovate
property so that we can put the animal shelter there
and build the kittles in the back.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
Chief of Staff James Barber says that would depend on
any further cost analysis.

Speaker 13 (40:08):
Let's not unnecessarily cut corners this.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
Not everyone is thrilled, though, and A Bush, president of
Friends of the Mobile Animal Shelter, says she's disappointed the
administration is moving off of its original plan.

Speaker 13 (40:20):
I'm hopeful that they will come up with something suitable. However,
I do believe that twenty million is not an outrageous number.
I think people think that an animal shelter is supposed
to be like a poll barn out in the field somewhere.
But whereas an animal shelter and in truth is a hospital.
It's a classroom, it's a jail. In some cases it's
a community outreach.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
For it's a jail. Now do all the dogs feel
like they're in jail? Or do is this the human
perspective on this, is that we're jailing these poor animals
or do the animals Well, maybe the animals agree if
they understood the concept a jail.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Facility, it's a mobile City Council Van Ben Reynolds, who
is sponsoring the resolution to purchase of the building on
the belt line, says it's nearly the geographic center of
the city.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
It'd be nice to move the animal shelter closer to
all the residents of the city, rather than everybody from
the west part having to go downtown to an outdated facility.
So it makes absolute sense logistically for an animal shelter
to be centrally located in our growing city.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Imagine. Well, no, wait a minute, So it's near the
geographic center of the town, and so that's one of
the reasons you want to get it, so it be
more convenient for the citizens to go there with their
animal shelter needs. Well, what about everything else? What about
everything else the city does? Why do I have to
go downtown and try and find parking? Why can't you

(41:48):
have your city council meetings in the new animal shelter?
That would be wouldn't that be great? They can turn
it into an animal shelter, but leave an area so
that can do city council meetings there, and then we
wouldn't have to go downtown have council meetings at night,
and do them at the animal shelter. If they buy this,
that is my personal request. I did.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
It have to be heavily modified, but it seems like
it's got plenty of room there.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
Jesus staff Barbera says that the city still owns the
property on Mount Lamar, and he says the administration isn't
ruling out any options for what to do with it.
Reporting Life in the News Center, Brendan Kirby Box then.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
New all right, all right, well, I'm curious about where
this goes. Of course, I know that at this point
just about anything new or newer will be better than
what the city has already for the animal shelter. And
I'm trying to as I was listening to that story,
I was trying in my mind, in my limited mind,

(42:48):
I was trying to imagine, how would you retro fit
any building if you were going to turn any building
into an animal shelter. I think most important thing would
be that every single room need to be You need
to be able to hose them off. You need to
be able to hose off every room. All right, Hey
back with more show after the break here on WNDM.

Speaker 6 (43:12):
Hey, Henry, Here, I am.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Where are you?

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Uncle? Henry Show? News Radio seven ten WNTM News headlines
coming up in ten minutes. Before we get there, I'm
gonna check some voicemails. Voicemail number two five one two
one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two
one six. It's nineteen seventy six. To leave a message

(44:02):
for the Uncle Henry show. Let's turn now to a
report from the snake trapper, Hey.

Speaker 7 (44:10):
Ogra Henry snake trapper, Hey man, I have some deep
concern that my cat Loki is a Democrat, Uncle Henry,
and I'll tell you why. I rescued him about five
years ago from the woods of Stockton. Uncle Henry.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
All right, now pausing there, what were you doing in
the woods of Stockton? Was this a snake trapping adventure?
Where you trapping snakes in Stockton? Is Stockton snaky? And
here's a question for you, snake trapper. Which county is

(44:49):
Snakier Mobile County or Baldwin County? Which county is Snakier
Mobile or Baldwin?

Speaker 7 (45:00):
Provided him with housing. Days later on Gole Henry. He
almost died. Well hundreds of dollars later. I found out
he had two different types.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
Of parasites, hook worms and.

Speaker 7 (45:14):
Round worms, so provided him help care brought him back
to life. Well five years later on Go Henry. He
is more demanding than ever. I provided him with his
food every morning while I'm in the house making my lunch.
He is right there at my feet demanding that I

(45:35):
give him a piece of my turkey, which I always
do when I come home from work man, before even
get my shoes off of get to sit down or anything,
he's right there at my feet demanding for his food,
and he gets very upset when you don't comply right
away on gole Henry and I first seen that trade

(45:58):
in him probably about three years ago. I was shooting
a video of me doodle bug fishing well. I pulled
a doodlebug out of the hole and he instantly went
to trying to get it. So I kind of just
moved him out of the way so I could get
the video of the doodle bug, and he slapped me,

(46:19):
Uncle Henry. So yes, sir, Uncle Henry. I'm almost certain
that he is a Democrat.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Now.

Speaker 7 (46:26):
Miss Snake Trever told me that I created that monster,
and she's right, Uncle Henry. I definitely don't believe I
could vote him out because we also have another cat
named Kibble.

Speaker 10 (46:40):
She's liberal at best, so I knowed.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
So you have one cat certified Democrat, the other cat
leaning leaning liberal.

Speaker 7 (46:50):
You wouldn't vote against him. Miss Snake trev won't vote
against him. Because he's cute. So I guess I'm stuck
with him. But yes, Sir Ocle Henry provide him with shelter, healthcare,
and food, and he is still very demanding. One thing

(47:10):
I'll say is I do love the cat.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
He will come to me.

Speaker 7 (47:13):
When I call him. I guess he thinks I'm gonna
give him something.

Speaker 9 (47:19):
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
Uncle, I guess.

Speaker 7 (47:21):
I'm stuck with him. You have a good day, my friend.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Thank you, Snake Trapper. You two Snake Trapper talking about
his cat, Loki, a cat now considered a Democrat by
Snake Trapper. Now I've got time for one more voicemail.
This I think this is another voicemail about Democrats. It
may not be about cats, but I think it's about democrats.

Speaker 9 (47:45):
Hey, Uncle Henry ld all one know the weather, but
I'm still trucking.

Speaker 6 (47:50):
Oh no, sure.

Speaker 9 (47:52):

are clear links from this money at us say back
to the Democrat Party, clear links, and they're.

Speaker 6 (48:03):

Speaker 9 (48:05):
I hope it comes with handcuffs. I hope it comes
with search and seizure of people's homes. You can't tell
me that Jasmine Crockett, it's worth twenty two million and
she's only been in office. I think she declared herself
only having like five hundred thousand dollars a year before
she moved into office, and now she's worth twenty two million. Yeah,

(48:29):
uh huh Yeah, it's the same thing's been happen to
Bill Clinton.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Same thing.

Speaker 9 (48:34):
What do you think that email server? And Hillary Clinton
said that was sending all the wire transfers so they
knew where to go back and get that money.

Speaker 7 (48:44):
You know it, I know it.

Speaker 9 (48:45):
America knows it. These people are criminals, and it looks
like every darn fun of them are criminals. It's mind boggling.

boggling part. It is very It is my the things
