Speaker 1 (01:12):
It says The Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Also streaming live video on YouTube. Look
for Uncle Henry Show on YouTube. And I thank you
very much, thank you for listening to the Uncle Henry Show.
I appreciate it. I really do. As each day goes
by the importance of my paycheck is hammered more forcefully

(01:41):
into my mind. So thank you for listening to the show.
Here we are again, once again together trying to figure
out what is going on in the world around us,
and certainly a lot of very a lot of very
difficult things to try and figure out going on in

(02:02):
the world around us. Of course, all the aftermath, people
still reacting to the assassination yesterday, the murder of Charlie Kirk,
a lot of that going on also today being the
twenty fourth anniversary of the September eleventh attacks, and trying
to put that in perspective, off after all these years,

(02:24):
and what do I mean by putting it in perspective.
I went a couple of years ago. It was almost
two years ago I visited New York. I went to
Manhattan for the first time since two thousand and one.
I've only been to Manhattan twice in my life. I'm
not well traveled. I really don't like to go north

(02:44):
of Tuscaloosa, to be candid with you, but the first
time I visited Manhattan was in May of two thousand
and one, and one of the things I did as
a tourist was go up to the top of the
World Trade Center. That was the first time I went.
The last time and only other time I visited Manhattan

(03:08):
was just about two years ago, and one of the
things I did was go to the nine to eleven Memorial,
the big museum that they have there. And if it's
something you ever decide you want to do, make sure
you're going up there for more than one day. It

(03:28):
is not what I would consider a fun vacation spot. Now.
It may be worth it to you, but it'll bring
back a lot of stuff. It'll bring back a lot
of really unpleasant stuff from that day, because a lot
of us probably can't forget, but there's some stuff we

(03:50):
wish we couldn't remember because of the horrific nature of
all that went on on that horrible day in the world.
And I talk about put it in perspective, but I
want to. I went up there, toured the memorial is
extremely somber, as you might imagine, because there's there's just
so much documented of the terrible human suffering. There was

(04:13):
a lot of heroism as well that was documented, people
acting heroically, but still, ultimately what a horrific tragedy. It
was all the lost lives, not only that day but afterward,
as we all we wanted our country went running around
the globe into different countries after this, uh putting it

(04:35):
in perspective though, it was just a few weeks after
I left we had the the Hamas attack in Israel
that we're still having ramifications from over there in Godza
right now. But just just a few weeks after I
left New York, there were pro Hamas people running all

(04:57):
over New York, running all over the town. I never
would have after going to the museum, I never would have.
I never would have imagined that you would have all
these Hamas sympathizers just all running around having giant protests
in New York City. It shows you how much can
happen in a little over twenty years in one of

(05:19):
these situations, and hoping we've learned something after all that
has happened, you know, the twenty fourth anniversary of nine
to eleven, And also I think the is that the
twelfth or thirteenth anniversary of Benghazi that some people are
marking today and now a lot of Americans before they

(05:39):
were going to remember that tragedy, they had the Charlie
Kirk thing yesterday where if you had access to the internet,
you got to see somebody lose their life in a horrible,
horrible way. And I'm still trying to put yesterday in perspective.
I mentioned to you yesterday how I spent a lot
of time in the afternoon the immediate reaction and in

(06:01):
twenty four hours just I'm still I'm still trying to
put it all into focus. It is highly clarifying to
see that there are a lot of people in the
country that not only think it's okay to die for
your political beliefs, not for anything you've actually done, just

(06:24):
things you've said with the mantra that words are violence
that we've heard for years, so many of the people
not only thinking you ought to you can be killed
for what you say, celebrating it, praising it. It's an
awakening moment, certainly at the very least, just getting that

(06:48):
indication of never knew your neighbor thought that, never thought
your neighbor felt that way. Seeing all of the very
responsible professions people going on TikTok, Facebook x in any
other social media platforms, Seeing people in professional jobs, education,

(07:08):
health care, government, bureaucracy, many of them celebrating someone's death.
It just puts things in perspective and clarifies things for
us going to be rough days ahead, at least in
trying to somehow find a way to get on the

(07:28):
same page. You've heard people talking about how we thought
we were on the same page after nine to eleven.
We spent a few days or a few weeks all
on the same page, rallying together. What happened yesterday showed
the exact opposite, didn't It has today not been the
exact opposite. Where you see, we're not the gulf is

(07:54):
wider than I had imagined, and the animosity toward the
each other is way wider than I ever imagined, and
we're all going to have to figure out how to
deal with it one way or the other, hoping for
peaceful ways of dealing with it, hoping that people are
not thinking, well, this is the way to go, Hoping

(08:17):
it goes in the other direction. But anyway, I've got
people waiting to talk. Callers, I'm sorry, I talked too much.
I'll get to your phone calls with less of my
hot air here at the beginning of the next segment
of the Uncle Henry Show. So if you want to talk,
just hang on. I'll get to your calls as soon
as I can. And also some voicemail messages that have
come in about the Kirk murder and also other topics.

(08:41):
We do have a mayor's race going on. The Uncle
Emry Show continues after we check traffic and weather and
words from our sponsors here on news radio seven to
ten WNTM Uncle Henry's Show. It is five point twenty

(09:24):
news headlines coming up in ten minutes. Telephone number two
five one four seven nine two seven two three. I
talked too much in the first segment of the show.
I want to get these callers on the air. So
let me let me answer the phone and thrust these
people onto the radio. Hello caller, Hey, good even Henry, Cliff, Cliff,
you are live on the radio.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Henry.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yes, sir, it wasn't.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
It wasn't five hours after all this stuff happened. That's
a limb so evil. They couldn't ranged themselves to even
pay homage to this man that hadn't done anything.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
To anybody, hadn't done any wrong. And they think that
what they're doing is okay. But I heard the story
one time about a man that walked around telling the
truth and telling them about love and telling them about God,
and these people did not want to hear it, and

(10:27):
so they killed them. They crucified it. But that made
his story and his word even stronger. These people are
knowing what they're doing is making things worse for them.
More people eyes are open, Uncle Henry. Now they're being
open for sure. You have a bless even you two.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Thank you Cliff very much for your phone call two
five one four seven nine two seven two three the
telephone number here on the Uncle Henry Show. Hello color,
Henry Bert, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 7 (11:03):
I'm gonna go ahead into what I was going to
call about yesterday before I found out about the Charlie
Kirk murder. I want to talk about how the media
has covered let's say, two different murders, the two different massacres, yeah, happened,
and then one murder of a single person. Ten years ago.

(11:24):
If you recall, a white supremacist went into a black church,
pretended to pray with the people in the church. This
included grandmothers, and just opened fire on them, killed about
ten of them. Was that in Texas, No, it was
in Charleston, South Carolina.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, oh yeah, I remember that one. Yeah, horrible, don't move.

Speaker 7 (11:44):
I think he's on death row right now. It's a
travesty of justice that he hasn't already been executed. Right,
But here's what the media coverage was like. He didn't
use an assault rifle. He used a pistol, So there
was not any kind of focus on the gun. There
was no focus on repealing the Second Amendment. The focus

(12:06):
was on, and rightly so, the ideology that caused him
to commit those murders. So what happened. The Confederate flags
had to come down everywhere. Now, fast forward ten years
to the Minnesota church shooting. In which the shooter was
just the ultimate and politically correct. He was a trans

(12:29):
and I'm going to use the pronouns E and him
for this guy that was pretending to be a woman.
And he had killed Trump on his gunstock right, So
he was obviously in the had the same ideology as
the mainstream media. So the focus has got to be

(12:52):
on the gun. We've got to repeal the Second Amendment.
And his mother was saying, oh, we got to use
his the pronounce that he chose, We got to call
him by her and she. But now, Uncle Henry, why
can't we demand that all the rainbow flags come down
in every classroom in this country and all the trans

(13:15):
flags and focus on the ideology that led this loon
to kill innocent children. Why can't those flags come down?

Speaker 1 (13:27):
That is a that is well. I think I think
that those flags, they're going to fight to keep those
flags up. That might be a life for death issue
for some folks.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
Of course they will. And Uncle Henry, one more thing
about nine to eleven. I don't think we were as
united as everybody thinks we were. I think that the
people that sided with I'll kind of just want as
vocal as they usually are. But Uncle Henry, I remember
Jeremi right, Obama's pastor being very open about it. He

(14:02):
was celebrating on nine to eleven. He was saying that
for America's chickens, come.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
To hold roots, right, Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 7 (14:10):
For a lot of them that felt that way, they
just kept kept kind of quiet right after nine to eleven.
But then there was one Times professor that was saying,
anybody that can blow up the Pentagon has got my vote.
But fortunately he was fired. And by the way, a
few of these people that are in the mainstream media,
and I think the coach of the Carolina Panthers that

(14:32):
was celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk has been fired.
So those are pretty good signs. And by the way,
I've read something today about they think the suspected shooter
of Charlie Kirk is a member of the trans community.
I still have it figured out whether it's a man
pretending to be a woman or a woman pretending to

(14:52):
be a man. I'm not sure about that.

Speaker 8 (14:54):
One looks like a.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
Man in the pictures. But they're zeroing in on a
person they think is it because right after the shooting,
this person kind of shut down on social media. So
hopefully they'll kick that person. And during the days when
Gary Gilmore was under death sentence, Utah had the gallows
and the firing squad, bring those back. I would love

(15:19):
to see this person swing for this only one last murder,
Uncle Henry. The media coverage of the stabbing death of
that woman ye.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Up in North Carolina, Yes.

Speaker 7 (15:31):
Yeah, I don't think there wasn't a media coverage because
the victim and the chiller did not fit. The narrative,
did not fit the mainstream media narrative, and there wasn't
a gun involved. So they can't call for the repeal
of the Second Amendment. But what I'm calling for is
that lunatic judge that let the sewer rat loose again

(15:53):
and again and again to victimize more people to be
removed from office immediately and never be put into any
I had a position of power. Ever again, ever, again,
thank you for taking a call, Bert.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Thank you very much. I'm very energized Burt today on
the Uncle Andry Show. All right, I'm gonna go to
break here in a couple of minutes. Hello caller.

Speaker 9 (16:16):
Umple here, and good afternoon, Stephen Breadley.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Stephen Bradlin, you are live on the radio, you know, Uncle.

Speaker 9 (16:23):
I was really kind of taken aback yesterday with everything
that kind of happened with Charlie Kirk, and I was
I've been sitting on it now for twenty four hours,
just kind of just pondering and thinking, and with today
being nine to eleven, I remember where I was at.
I was in a junior in high school, sitting in
the cafeteria, and I just remember that day when we
found out about that. I just felt a shift and

(16:45):
there was a shift in our country at that point,
and I yesterday I was kind of I kind of
felt that again that there's been a shift, and I
hope that it's a shift to depositors. I would say
that in a lot of ways, Charlie Kirk could almost
be looked at as a our generation's Martin Luther King Jr.

Speaker 10 (17:07):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (17:07):
And I know that will probably blaspheming for anybody on
the left, because I think even though they disagree with
all kind of things that Martin Luther King Junior stood
for with the Act today, but I kind of agree
with that because you know, he you know, he didn't
speak to prove a point, you know, he kind of
spoke to defend others. He spoke to defend you, the unborn,
the children being confused about you know, their gender, you know,

(17:28):
by their parents or social media permitting the mass shootings.
You know, he spoke truth.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
You know, hey, Steve, and I'm up on the break.
Will you hang on?

Speaker 7 (17:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (17:37):
Absolutely, all right.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Good, thank you. I want to find I want to
hear where you think this is going and let you
make your point about where what you think Charlie Kirk
will now represent and your phone call you the listener
would love to hear from you too. Back after the
news break, it says see Uncle Henry show here on

(18:10):
news radio seventy ten WNTM. It is five thirty five.
Got some callers waiting to talk here, and Stephen Breelan
was on the line. Uh, Steven, you were going to
tell us before we went to break what you think
or what you hope Charlie Kirk might represent in the future.

Speaker 9 (18:32):
Yeah. So you know, MLK, he used the spoken word
to bring change about in our country, change that was
needed at the time, and I think that Charlie was
he was the voice of that of that same reasoning today.
He just he used debate in conversation to you know,

(18:55):
engage with people. And he told folks that you know
that with if people stopped talking, that's when civil war
is going to break out. That when when different sides
no longer come together and no longer you know, share
their differences with one another and talk about those things,
and that that's when that's when bad things are gonna happen.
And I, Henry, I'm.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Convinced that.

Speaker 9 (19:18):
In general discourse and debate, it doesn't exist anymore. Reasoning
and reasonableness. I think it's just it's gone. And it's
on both sides. I think in a lot of ways
we're surrounded by extremists on both sides of the aisle
h the left and the right. And I it's I
feet this has been happening for a long time. I've

(19:39):
been seeing it now for at least probably ten ten
years now, and I have been saying that we have
got this country has got to moderate, We have got
to come back to the middle and sign common ground,
because in nature, you cannot exists. It doesn't, it doesn't
stay that way. It's everything's gonna a reckoning is going
to happen. And I just I hope and pray that

(20:01):
that we can find a way to come back to
some level of sensibility in this country, because this is
insanity that the guy was gunned down in cold blooded
murder over his things he says and things he believed.
And that's just not okay. We're not some third world
banana republic that we live in. This is the United

(20:24):
States of America, where we have the freedom of speech,
and we have the freedom of you know, being able
to you know, debate and have conversations, and that should
be okay. It's okay to disagree, it's okay to have
different beliefs, but you shouldn't be shut down and shut
up and killed over a belief. And it's something has

(20:44):
to change in this country. And I just hope that
the same way the country did a radical shift after
Martin Luther King, I hope that we can find a
way to do that again and right some very serious
wrongs that's been going on in our country in terms
of just the civil discourse.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
All right, Stephen Brilin, thank you for holden, and thank
you for making the phone call.

Speaker 9 (21:06):
Yes, sir, have a good day, you too.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
There you go. Stephen Breelin two five one four seven
nine two seven two three the telephone number here on
the Uncle Henry Show. And I don't know where we
find the common ground. I'll tell you that I saw
a few conservative commentators on social media today say that
they were planning to try and go to college campuses

(21:29):
and start doing what Charlie Kirk did. So Stephen, maybe
for a future call, should they invite some leftists to
go with them? And let me go back to the phones.
Hello caller, Hello Henry, Yes, sir, you are live on

(21:50):
the radio.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
Manim brothers are Rob Morrison Movie and Pie Radio here,
and I want to tell you some I agree with
Stephen Brelan, Uh everything he said. The man is very
well spoken. Charlie Kirk. Now I got something to say
about that too. Now I had social media going on
with my Mobile Fire radio podcast, and after posting the

(22:14):
sadness of Charlie Kirk's passing a murder assassination, I received
a bunch of really nasty, ugly comments, you know in
the station below. And so today I made a special
announcement telling those folks who didn't sing about Charlie Cook
was a good man and cannot condone his assassination to

(22:38):
stop following me, stop watching my podcast, go away, let
me alone. Go your own way, because y'all cannot talk.
Charlie Kirk was all about talking to folks about the
differences between us, and these folks proved they cannot talk
to you. They want to kill you. So you know,

(22:59):
those folks, just do away without me, just unfriendly. Stop
following me and I will we'll get along. Just finence.

Speaker 7 (23:08):
Now.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
The main thing that I really called about, Uncle Henry
is I saw on Facebook today that mobile has a
service called three one one instead of more one one
for you know, medical or emergency purposes. You can call
three one one and report all kinds of things. You

(23:29):
can ask for a new trash can, a nation of
trash can if you need it, and they're supposed to
send you one. If you have trash it needs to
be put out in the sun. Trash day you can
call and help come collect your trash. Now, the thing
that got my attention was they said you can call
three one one and report potholes in your community. Yes,

(23:49):
and mobile cy needs Well, I thought, whoa, Now that's
crazy because they said, not only can you report it,
you can track the progress of the word and done
on the plot holds that you report and I'll tell
to myself, Oh my god, Uncle Henry's sign of bum
Phil David is you're gonna burn up your poem. You're

(24:10):
gonna wear them pose out downtown trying to phillip these
pottles if you want to get feats.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Rob Morris Mobile Pirate Radio, thank you. I appreciate you
managing to figure out a way to bring one of
my favorite all time talk true topics and dropping into
the middle of this. So thank Rob, Thank you. And
again you heard Rob's call, uh you heard him talk
about people being mean to him on social media. You
can go find him on Facebook. Look for Mobile Pirate

(24:39):
Radio on Facebook and try to be nice to him
even if you disagree with him. Two five one or
seven nine two seven two three the telephone number.

Speaker 8 (24:47):
Here, Hello Collor Hey Uncle Henry L. D.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
The mad trucker.

Speaker 8 (24:53):
Who is that guy that just said that we should,
uh we should get into the middle, be more moderate?
Steven Stephen? Well, can I direct this to Stephen?

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Stephen?

Speaker 8 (25:04):
We went to the middle, and when we went to
the middle, it got us nine month abortions. That's what
it got us, Stephen. And when we went to the middle,
it got us men marrying men, Steven. And when we
went to the middle, it got us abortion owned the man, Stephen.
And then when we went into the middle, Stephen, it
got us drag queen's teaching our children about drag queens.

(25:31):
That's what happened when we went in the middle. We're
tired of going in the middle. I'm tired of it.
I'm not going to the middle. These people are sexual
weirdos and devians. You think I'm gonna reach across the
aisle to somebody who when I shook their hands five
minutes later, I'd.

Speaker 7 (25:47):
Want to watch it, all right?

Speaker 1 (25:50):
And there he goes LD the man or the retired
man trucker, hanging up on himself. And I do appreciate
him hanging up on me because it just always feel
that was awkward if I have to do the hanging up.
So the LD thank you for your call, Hello Color.

Speaker 11 (26:06):
Yeah almost, I should think LD as well gave me
a little voice. You know what time's left before the break.
But for garden Charlie Kirk and his assassin Henry. Of course,
everyone wants to reflect back, or at least I do,
on biblical so I read the Bible last night, and

(26:30):
it says, Father, forgive them, for they know not what
they do. And I read it over and over and
over again. And although the passage was aproposed prior to
how we communicate these days, back in two thousand years ago,

(26:51):
I think they do know what they do, which has.

Speaker 12 (26:54):
Got me even more reflexed. Forgive them, Father, for they
known way they do. These people know what they're doing.
It's intentional. So although the group of people that put
Jesus on across maybe had not known what they do
because they couldn't communicate like we do today, I believe

(27:19):
this is Satan coming up and showing his presence still
in the human unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
All right, well, Jimmy, anything else.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
We got to.

Speaker 11 (27:30):
Forgive them anyway. We must forgive them anyway. Henry, take
care you two.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Thank you Jimmy the Economist for your phone call. There
is more Uncle Henry's Show after the break coming up
here on news radio seven to ten WNDM. Uncle Henry

(28:03):
Show here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. It's five
point fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes, and
then additional Uncle Henry's Show. I'm gonna get to some
I'm gonna get to some some voicemail. Well, no, actually,

(28:25):
there's some news items I want to get to that
have nothing to do with the current state of the country.
I'm gonna get to those news items after the top
of the hour. Let me see if I can get
to some voicemail here before I'm out of time in
this hour of Uncle Henry's show. I just got a.

Speaker 13 (28:42):
Call any of this listen to your radio program live.
Can't call in live, Henry. I got to go watch
you Virginia play football, but I can leave a quick voicemail.
Henry response to LD's response to Stevens on being in
the middle l d the mad trucker hit the nail

(29:06):
right on the head. He is exactly right. When we
went to the middle, we got all these training drag
queens reading the kindergarteners. You go to the middle with
a communist, you lose. These These are not old blue

(29:26):
dog Dixie Democrats. You know that the Democrat party of
my of our grandfathers, that those Democrats still loved America. No, Henry,
today's Democrat. If you were a Democrat, I'd say, if
you were a Democrat after Obama was elected, your dad

(29:49):
on communists. You are a radical communist. There is no
going to a middle for a communist. You go to
the middle too many times with a communist. You get
loaded up on cattle cars in your dad gum on
a daggum re education camp, and we're all behind chain

(30:10):
ling fence yelling at our sons to avenge us Wolverines style.
I'm gonna tell you this, Henry, you cannot go to
the middle with dad gum communists. And that's what we
have here. Communists kill people who say things they don't like,

(30:34):
and that's where we're at now. You got to stay
in firm and we've got to defeat these communists completely.
No more going to the middle, Henry. You lose when
you go to the middle. There is no compromising with
a communist.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
All right, Fred, thank you for your voice mail. I'll
say this on that. For many, many years, I have
tried to discipline myself to be very tolerant, very very
tolerant of people that disagree with me. Try to see
them as human beings and not I be real judgmental

(31:15):
about it. Just be very tolerant of other viewpoints and
of other people. There's years of it, tried to train
myself to do it, and so far it hadn't worked
out real well being tolerant. At least it hadn't for
me really, because I don't get the same I don't

(31:37):
feel like I get the same tolerance from the people
that I'm being tolerant of. I could say lots more
about that, but I want to try to share just
a little bit more of voicemail before I have to
go to break.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Hey, okran State trapper. Hey, brother, I just want to
let you know I am totally devastated on what happened
to Charlie Kirk today. Oh, Henry, I think it's time
for the American people to try to win this war.
If you're unhappy with what transferred today, I would encourage

(32:15):
every human being with a conscience to get out this
midterms and vote, because this is the one chance that
Conservatism and Christianity and can actually win this war. Oh, Henry,

(32:41):
A man, I'm telling you, I am totally devastated. But yeah,
if you disagree with what happened today, and you disagree
with the sexual mutilation of kids, and you're just fed
up with what's going on, uh, this war can be
won without shedding more blood and the way it can

(33:04):
be won is during these midterm elections, everyone get out
and vote. Usually there's about eighteen or twenty percent turnout
in the midterms.

Speaker 9 (33:16):
But you know, let's not just let this.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Assassination of Charlie Kirk be in vain. Henry, like I said,
let's let's win this war. We can do it this midterm.
We can we can give the keep the House and
the Senate and this last two years of President Trump's
our presidency. We can win this war. And I'd like

(33:46):
to say, God bless Charlie Kirk's family. My prayers are
with him. I'd like to say that that assassin attempted
to silence Charlie Kirk. But all he did Uncle Henry,
is he made his voice louder than ever.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
All right, Hey, with that out of time, Snake Trepper,
thank you for the voicemail. There's more show other topics
coming up after the top of the hour news here
on WNTM, it says, the Uncle Henry Show here on

(34:36):
news Radio seventy ten WNTM, thank you, thank you for
listening to the Uncle Henry Show. I appreciate it. Bear
bear much. Now in this half hour of Uncle Henry Show,
Let's get you some news items. Yesterday during this half
hour of Uncle Henry's show, I was sharing with you

(34:57):
some news items about election challenges Mobile and in Prichard.
You still have the Mobile case with William Carroll. He
lost his re election bid for Mobile City Council. But
there are eligibility questions about the woman that won that
whooped him. She whooped him real good. That's not settled yet.

(35:19):
The William Carroll thing has not settled yet. But here's
a brief item from Fox ten about Pritchard. They have
a pair of challenges in Prichard. Let's listen to the
reporting on what has happened with the Pritchard challenges in
the Pritchard municipal election.

Speaker 14 (35:36):
Challenges to the Pritchard municipal election appear to be over
City council Woman Stephanie Johnson Norwood and the third place
finisher in the race for mayor, Lorenzo Martin, filed legal challenges.
They wanted thirteen provisional bouts to be counted that were
delivered late. A judge ruled ten thousand dollars must be
posted to hear those challenges, and it was not done
by the deadline. The Mobile County Bord of Registrarge would

(35:58):
have decided if those ballots were ballid, had a judge
order them counted.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
It is unfortunately, here is an attorney who is this.
This is Jay Ross who represents Mobile County Board of Registrars.
What does he have to say about this?

Speaker 15 (36:15):
Unfortunate that the citizens in this particular instance, Pritchard, who
cast those votes were not processed because it could have
made a difference on who's second or third. I have
no idea how that would have turned out. Well, nobody does.

Speaker 14 (36:31):
This now means the runoff for mayor is set. First
place finisher Carlotta Davis will meet incumbent mayor Jimmy Gardner
on September twenty third.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
All right, and this was supposed to be really close
by just a few votes. But think about this. So
they had this situation where they were wanting these ballots
to be counted. The only way they were going to
move forward with it is if you put up ten
grand there's a learning experience about municipal elections in Alabama.
Remember it for the future. If there's something going on

(37:00):
in an election and a candidate wants to challenge what
happened with vote count or anything like that. You gotta
have you gotta have a bunch of money just to
post as some type of bond in order for the
case to proceed. And in this case, it would have
been ten grand. So just remember that if you just
have to just make sure you got ten grand laying

(37:22):
around just in case. All right, what else can we
get into here? How about a k Ivy update. K Ivy.
You may remember ka Ivy. She's the governor of Alabama. Yes,
she's the governor of Alabama. And I'm proud to report
that she seems to be still walking under her own power,
walking around, and she made an appearance today at some

(37:46):
kind of conference. Let's listen together, let's find out what
conference she went to. Maybe we can hear a little
bit of k Ivy to gauge how she's feeling these days.

Speaker 16 (37:56):
Ivy spent her morning delivering remarks at the Cognia Alabama
Impact Conference. The two day conference was held at Fraser
Church on Atlanta Highway.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Now, I'm sorry I can't show you the video. Radio.
I know what. Radio has been around a long time.
We still haven't figured out how to put pictures with
our broadcasts. We're still working on it. I can't show
you the video, but she walked across the stage. It
is some of the best walking by Kibby that I've
seen in years. She must be feeling pretty good based
on the way I saw a walk across stage. All right,

(38:27):
back to the story.

Speaker 16 (38:28):
Learning experience designed for educators and other education leaders. Attendees
were able to gain practical strategies to boost a student achievement,
create inclusive learning environments, and implement data informed instruction. During
the conference, the governor boasted about working with Cognia to
improve STEM education in Alabama.

Speaker 17 (38:51):
More still, for graduating with the skills to successfully compete
for jobs in cutting edge fields like aerospace, oh, chemistry, cybersecurity,
advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
She sounds as healthy as a horse, she does, and
I love the I still love the accent. I hope
whoever becomes governor next has an even more rustic accent.

Speaker 16 (39:18):
And Other topics discussed today included chronic absenteeism and leveraging
data analytics.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
All right, very nice. Now, let's see one more story
here In this segment of the Uncle Henry Show, this
is a little sports related. This Saturday, University of South
Alabama Jags are going to Auburn to try and whoop
the Auburn Tigers in football. Here is a story from
WSFA and Montgomery about the turf at Jordenhair Stadium. Yes,

(39:52):
let's learn. Let's learn about the turf at Jordenhair Stadium
that the University of South Alabama actually get to play.

Speaker 16 (40:01):
On for another game at Jerdnieres Stadium.

Speaker 18 (40:04):
But before the football team takes the field, another team
works to make sure the playing surface is in top shape.
Here's WSFA twelve News anchor Sally Pitts.

Speaker 19 (40:14):
Auburn's pad Dye Field sees a lot of action throughout
the season. Despite the wear and tear each home game,
it's in great shape for the next one. That's thanks
to a team behind the team. The university has an
entire group dedicated to managing its playing surfaces. You may
notice in late November the field is bright green, just
like summertime. The team recently renovated the field with a

(40:36):
new type of grass. Just like the football players, the
turf grass managers have their own game plan to execute
to make sure Pat Dye Field is one of the
best in the country year round.

Speaker 10 (40:47):
We're here at Alburn University, we have a very strong
turf management program.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Now, I would think, shouldn't they have some of the
best turf in the country. They've got so much agricultural
science at Auburn. Should not. Shouldn't they have some of
the best dad gum turf in the country.

Speaker 10 (41:06):
And the expectations that the guys here have instilled in
this program are top of the line. And so when
people come to this stadium, when they see this field
being associated with Auburn University, they expect pristine conditions every week.
And so I would say that's what sets Auburn University
impact do I field apart from other fields in the area.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Many acts not the quality of football necessarily, but the
quality of the grass that they lose on all right,
A little bit more to the story.

Speaker 19 (41:35):
Athletics programs do not have the expertise on hand that
Auburn does. That is why many turf grass managers lean
on Alabama Extension experts for help. Extension experts host field
dates and workshops where people can learn about new turf
grass trends and other management details. Sally Pitts WSFA twelve.

Speaker 18 (41:54):
News Auburn will take to the field again this Saturday
when the Tigers welcome South Alabama to the plane.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Wonderful All right, South Alabama, I hope you do well.
It would be a wonderful thing for Mobile if the
University of South Alabama would no offense to the Auburn Tigers.
I know they also have their own mountain to climb,
but it would be wonderful for South Alabama and the
Jags to come out of that with a victory. That's

(42:22):
at eleven forty five Saturday morning, and you can listen
to the Auburn game on the Jag Radio Network Sports
Talk ninety nine to five FM in Mobile, or you
can listen to the Jags play Auburn on ninety six
to one The Rocket, Yes, ninety six to one. The

(42:44):
Rocket will have the Jags game as Jag take as
the Jags play on beautiful grass, beautiful turf. All right,
I'm gonna take a time out, and then there's a
little bit more, just a little bit more Uncle Henry's
