Speaker 1 (00:00):
M HM, thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Uh, your program is going downhill.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
It's uh blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
Sounds like fog horn leghorn.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
That boy as just as sharp as bolling ball.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Press sends the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio

(01:23):
seventy ten WNTM.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I appreciate very much you're listening to the Uncle Henry's show.
And once again here we are together, me and you
trying to figure out what is going on in the
world around us? What is what is going on in
the world around us? Maybe we can figure it out
together here two five one four seven nine two seven

(01:48):
two three. The telephone number here on the Uncle Henry Show,
that's five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Email address Uncle Henrid iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle Henry
at iHeartMedia dot Yes, I'm still here. I'm still here,
I'm still employed. It's like a celebration every time I
get to do the show because here I still am. Now.

(02:09):
Of course, lots of things to talk about as usual
here on the Oaklandar Show. Things going on in the
at just about every level, international, national, state, local, neighborhood
by neighborhoods. Just so many things to get into. I
could tell you about what I did over the weekend.
I may get into that as we go forward, rolltiede

(02:30):
row before I get into that. Those just a few
national things to get to on the Oak Clandary Show,
because we've got some big national stories. They're going to
have some impact now before I get to the government
shut down, which we'll have impact starting November first with people.
If they don't start the government back up, you're gonna
have people losing their their snap benefits, among other things.

(02:55):
I've been so entertained. I don't know have you been entertained?
The ballroom story, the Donald Trump wanting to build a
ballroom story up there and building one, getting some private
donors to come in and help them build a ballroom.
Are you enjoying this as much as I am? This
building of this ballroom has just been just thoroughly entertaining

(03:20):
from the standpoint of think about all the things the
president has done since he announced he was running for
election way back all these years. It has been ten
years now, think about all the things he's done. Building
a beautiful ballroom at the White House seems like it

(03:44):
would be one of the least controversy, of the least
noteworthy things to even spend time talking about, and yet
it is all over the place. Every time it popped
up for me on social media, it is it has
made me more entertained, more just just fun. It's just

(04:07):
it's kind of like a litmus test. The way people
are reacting to it kind of tells you so much
about them, doesn't it. Seen people fight over it, people
getting online and fighting on it, finding about what's happening
with the East Wig. Oh my lord, the East Wing?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
What's he doing to it?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Did you know a lot about it? I didn't know.
I couldn't tell you what was going on in the
East Wing. Probably something I wouldn't like. Knowing most presidents
that we've had, of both political parties, I'm sure there's
a lot of things that have gone on up there
that I wouldn't like, from both political parties. I wouldn't
even know what's up in there. But people are acting

(04:48):
like it is. It is just the like they're tearing
down Mount Rushmore or something, or or or or or
putting a mustache on somebody on Mount Rushmore. So I mean,
it's just it's just so entertaining to me, even people
like Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton out there putting posts

(05:08):
on social media about how how we should all be
outraged over it. Now, think about again, think about all
the things. Well, let's let's leave out the last ten years.
Just think about the last few months, all the things
to be mad about that President trumpet Is administration are
up to. And you're going to focus on the ballroom, now,

(05:32):
is it because the other things haven't made people mad
enough yet? It's just I'm enjoying it. I am.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Now.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
You may be upset about it, you may be upset
with the people that are upset about it. I'm enjoying it.
I hope I hope that all throughout the all throughout
the construction of it, that people continue to be mad
about it, because I just I just it's it's a
form of an entertain It's like watching the sitcom Hello Color, Hey,

(06:05):
good even looking, Cliff Cliff, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Uncle Henry. I think these people then gave themself away.
How AOC was speaking in New York and she was
saying that we not the crazy ones. If somebody tells
you that they're not crazy, it's a sign that they
probably are.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's now. That is so true, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Clinton?

Speaker 4 (06:31):
No old fact, Yes, that's a nold fact. If they
say I ain't crazy, you crazy, then you look at
them and you say, yeah, she crazy. Oh yeah, they're
crazy again. I agree they're getting worse about the death.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, I'm I just I know. We're at the point
where I know I can now there's no telling where
things go the way people are going to react. If
you're going to have this kind of reaction to building
a beautiful new ballroom, I don't know what to expect
going forward.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
You ain't kidding, uh that we had a basketball basketball
court put in right that. I don't think anybody touched
the basketball when since that game Obama played with some
of the pro players and got hit in the eye.

(07:23):
I don't think that was a ball on that court
since then.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, it wouldn't it. It'd be fun though, to find
out who does use it, if anybody does.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, and you know another thing, yes, BLM b l
M them nuts. They was talking about burning the thing
down and blowing it up, and uh, Democrats was hooping.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
And hollering right with them.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Like they say, go for it right now, it's a
problem that shows you how crazy these people there. All
you can do, unc Henry, is just listen and see
what stupid things they gonna say next. You have blissed the.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Thank you, Cliff, you have blessed me by coming forward
with your phone call here on the unc Leanery Show.
It's made me think about if I were elected president,
which would be a terrible tragedy for the country. But
if I were elected president, I'd want I'd be more
selfish than having a ballroom that future presidents could hold
there there are state dinners in I would want like

(08:25):
a really big presidential man cave to watch football and stuff.
I'd have a big It wouldn't be like a theater.
It'd be like a bunch of lazyboy recliners and a
big old presidential man cave for football, watching football and
having some reruns of Bonanza and stuff on there. That

(08:47):
would be my thing. I'd build Uncle Henry's show. It

(09:14):
is five twenty telephone number if you'd like to call
the show and tell me something two five one four

Henry at iHeartMedia. Dot com. That's Uncle Henry. iHeartMedia dot com.
Government shutdown. Government shutdown and notices went out today in

(09:44):
the state of Alabama and Mississippi telling people that beginning
November first, the the SNAP benefits will not be sent out.
The people that are getting the SNAP benefits to help
them at the grocery store are not going to get
them benefits starting November first, if the government shut down continues.

(10:06):
People are already worried about this. I saw a report
on a Mississippi TV station online where they interviewed people
in the parking lot of a grocery store, and they're
already upset. They're people already upset about the SNAP benefits

(10:26):
possibly stopping in November. This one lady saying that this
is the government shut down affecting the SNAP benefits. Definitely
not fair.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
If you ask me, I feel like it's not fair
in a way. It's just more convenient for us when
we go shopping because as far as getting meat, rids, chicken,
all this stuff is.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Expensive, yes it is. Many people will not be able
to afford such things if their SNAP benefits are cut
by the government. Now trying to figure out how big
an impact it would be on Alabama, and I was
surprised by the numbers I saw, and I'm trying to

(11:13):
double check. I went to a couple of different sources
saying that in Alabama we have something like we have
over seven hundred thousand, which sounds like a lot for Alabama,
but seven hundred thousand people in Alabama getting these snap
benefits that would be affected by this. I have a
feeling that because of this this week leading up to it,
the government shut down won't last but maybe a few

(11:36):
more days. Another reason I think the government shut down
will only lost last another couple of days is because
the American Federation of Government Employees, which is the largest
union that represents federal workers, put out a statement today. Now,
this union put out a statement today urging the Democrats

(11:56):
to go ahead and pass what the Republicans have put forward,
a clean continuing resolution and restart the government. This American
Federation of Government Employees. Now, the reason I think that
this will have an impact is who do you think
when it comes to an election, who do you think

(12:19):
the American Federation of Government Employees vote for? And I
think they've got I go over eight hundred thousand members.
Who do you think, do you think they vote for
a lot of Republicans. I don't think so, that's just
me guessing. I'm using speculatory knowledge.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
I don't know that, but it's just speculation.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
You may, like everybody respeculatory knowledge.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
I'm using my speculatory knowledge to speculate that federal government
employees probably don't probably not many of them vote for
the Republicans. I'm just again, speculator or not. I'm thinking
that the American Federation of Government Employees, federal employees probably
very reliably vote Democrat, and they have. They have said

(13:14):
to the Democrats, you go ahead, go ahead and just
drop it and vote for the clean continuing Resolution. And
I tend to think that they will. The Democrats are
gonna end up caving. They're gonna have to. They would
like to have some kind of minor win or something,
some minor concession. Who knows, maybe they can get a

(13:35):
minor concession. Maybe President Trump can offer to name the
ballroom after Chuck Schumer or something. Maybe maybe something like that,
just just to offer them a throw them a bone.
We'll name the We'll name the ballroom after AOC or something,
just something, the Pelosi Ballroom, something, just to get them

(13:56):
to vote for but the the employees union, this is
this is real pressure for the Democrats. And plus again,
as each day goes by, you heard the lady interviewed
in the parking lot of the grocery store. She did,
she was she was already saying it wasn't fair.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
If you asked me, I feel like it's not fair
in a way. It's just more convenient for us when
we go shopping because as far as getting meat, ribs, chicken,
all the this stuff is expensive.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
It is. And and I don't think this is gonna
be people getting really angry at the Republicans on this
because the Democrats in the middle of their messaging, they're
complaining about a ballroom being built. I mean, there's just
this is on the Democrats, and they're gonna they're gonna
they they're gonna cave before the end of the week.

(14:48):
They're gonna have to. They're gonna have to. Maybe even
more people are gonna come out and tell them to cave,
especially when they realize that they're they're going to be
able to afford the chicken and the ribs and all
that kind of stuff. Two five to one, four seven
nine two seven two three. The telephone number that's two

(15:10):
five to one four seven nine two seventy two three.
Email address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. That's Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Oh. In connection with this,
because we're in Halloween season, a university went out and
did their annual survey of American fears, asking Americans what

(15:33):
are they afraid of? The most and the number one
fear of Americans according to this survey, and they say
it is the that this result has They've been getting
this result a lot. The number one fear of Americans
is corrupt government officials. Have you now, I've never heard

(16:01):
a result like that. Corrupt government officials is the number
one they say. Number two is people I love becoming
seriously ill. Number three fear is economic collapse, number four
cyber terrorism, number five is people I love dying. But
number one, oh, the bigger fear over your loved ones

(16:23):
dying is corrupt government officials. So even the people that
would love to see the Democrats win on this issue,
it's their number one fear corrupt government officials. Do you think,
by the way, do you think government officials see this

(16:43):
this survey result and care anyway, this will be the
government shut down. They're going to end it before the
end of the week. They're just going to have to
uh snamping stopping snap benefits. Oh, I don't know that.
I would think that people in both political parties would

(17:05):
not want to see what will happen when snap benefits stuff.

Hello Color, I'm Henry. Yes, sir, thanks for taking my call.
This is Roland. Yes, sir, on that on the shutdown,
and be with heling of food supplements for the the
people that gets it, yes sir, or with the politicians.

(19:28):
And and I think I heard you said something about
politicians are crooks. You may not have said it like that,
but I believe they are. That's how come they go
up there and stay up there forever it should be
turned limits on them. They go up there and steal

(19:51):
and pass on the loops under the table amongst themselves.
They go up there supposed to make a certain amount
and uh, and they stay up there and become millionaires
and billionass a bunch of crooks. And when they hold
the American people hostage, they are still getting paid. I

(20:15):
believe we're to come up. We should come up with
a way.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
If you don't fix the problem, you congressmen, you senators,
you don't get no money, you don't get no cotton
picking tail until you fix it, your bunch of low
down crooks.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I'm with you. I am with you. I am with you.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
They started on them go up there, and and and
and and and find a way to stay up there
like that doing uh or Biden been up there for
fifty years. I'm telling you, I am sick of it,
and the American people is too stupid thing right to

(20:54):
put a stop to it. Put a stop to that crap.
You only go up there for us certain amount of
time and you get your butt lost somewhere. I'm sick
of it, shutting down a government couse you want to
have your way. What kind of cotton picking crap is that?
We are the boss, not you.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Man?

Speaker 5 (21:19):
Thank you Arca Henry for letting me bt today.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well, thank you. I'm with you. I am with you
more than ever before on that topic at both political parties.
I'm with you. And the man Rolling hung up on himself,
Thank you Rolling. That saved me. The I hate having
to hang up on people, it just feels awkward. So
thank you for hanging up on me. No, I'm with you.
I'm with you, and I've talked to people you know you.

(21:44):
In fact, I remember our conversation I had a couple
of years ago in downtown Mobile. I was doing a
live broadcast and a Mobile businessman came up to me
and was shooting the breeze, and he started talking to
me about how well he didn't think people should vote
for non politicians. This, of course, was about Donald Trump.

(22:09):
He was saying, I just don't think that people should
vote for non politicians. I don't I if my house
is on fire, I want to trained fireman. I don't
want some beginner that's never done it before. Or if
I'm sick, I want to train doctor. I don't want
some beginner that's never done it before. Can't put people

(22:31):
up there in Washington that have never gone through politics
and all this kind of mess. Well, whether you like
Trump or not, and there's a chance there's something about
him you don't like. Look at what somebody who came
in from the outside gets done compared to what gets

(22:55):
done with the people that are always there getting along
and going along and and do you understand what I'm
driving out here? I would love to have way more
turnover in that Congress. I think it would be good
for us, way more turnover in that Congress. But I

(23:16):
don't know how that's going to happen because of all
of the advantages that are built in for incumbents. I
just don't know how it's going to happen. But I'm
with Roland on this more than I ever have been.
The older I live, the more I'm with Roland on
this question. And I feel that way about both of

(23:39):
the political parties because you get people that go up there,
they have a certain net worth and then surprise, surprise,
there's something about being up there that really helps your
financial IQ. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's
in the drinking water. Maybe I just need to go
up there and drink out of the faucet. Because they

(24:00):
they figure something out, don't they? They figure something out?

Speaker 4 (24:04):
All right?

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Let's see telephone number here, two five, one four? I did?
I did have a voicemail I want to get to
because some of these voicemails have a freshness date on them,
and if you don't play them soon after getting them,
they get stale. So let's see there was some entertainment

(24:27):
over the weekend, like college football.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
O tiry and that's with capital letters. Man, I tell
you what's the dad blad truth these guys. Uncle, I'm
getting too old.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
For this kind of stuff. Now.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
You know, when when he has another one of them
seventy three, then nothing's like we had over was it
lousy outa Munroe a few weeks ago? Thank goodness we
got a bye week coming up. I couldn't handle another.
That's five straight games, buddy, that's uh.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Oh me.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
I'm not wearing my Crimson Tide hat right now. I
think I chunked it after that last touchdown. Chunked it,
as in somewhere here in the house. If I had
it on, it'd be all to them from the head
man on down. I think they got something going on, brother,

(25:37):
Stay tuned.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Roll Roll Tidrow, sixty eight year old Chris of West Locksley,
thank you for your voicemail on the Alabama Crimson Tide game.
Very entertaining college football season. This season has been surprising
me that it's that entertaining in this coach, this LSU
coach getting fired for how do you get fired for

(26:03):
doing what is considered a bad job and walk away
with what is it? Fifty million dollars? Fifty million dollars?
I feel silly saying it fifty that's a five and
a zero. Fifty million? Is that what he gets? He
did a bad job, So goodbye, here's fifty million dollars.

(26:24):
Whoever whoever agreed to that at LSU, whoever arranged a
buyout that big for that guy, and whoever approved it,
they all should they should all be escorted off of
the campus and banned from ever returning for doing something

(26:46):
so stupid that you're going to give somebody a buyout
that large, fifty something million dollar buyout? You kidding?

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Met it?

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Almost This makes politics seem smart when you hear something
like that. There is more to come. Yes, I'm going
to take a time out for traffic and weather and

(27:20):
words for sponsors, and then back.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
With more.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Uncle Henry Show. This show has no buyout, unfortunately, Uncle

(27:49):
Henry Show here on news radio seventy ten WNTM. It's
five point fifty. It's talking about the Alabama game and
college footballs. It's this season. I didn't expect to be
entertained by college football. This season because just because of
all of the how it's become pro football. But I'm

(28:09):
getting used to it now, the fact that it's pro
football and instead of watching the NFL, I'm just watching
the younger pros in college but entertaining. I do want
to thank the Bama big Man family, one of the
listeners of the Uncle Henry Show. They hosted me and
my wife for the Alabama game and we did watch

(28:32):
the Alabama game out the Lot Road Spice Pond Road area.
All the beautiful scenery out there Lot Road, Spice Pond
Road area, and missus Bama big Man made some delicious
beans for us. Thank you. I would drive out Spice

(28:53):
Pond to get some good beans, so thank you for that.
I appreciate that very much. I also want to mention
that my wife and I were in downtown Mobile Saturday
night for a ninety five KSJ country and Western music
concert at Soul Kitchen, and we were asked to be
down there around six o'clock in the evening, and I

(29:14):
guess I see, I don't spend a lot of time downtown.
I was shocked at how packed Downtown Mobile was packed
when the sun was still up six o'clock at night
down there. So I don't know what the arrest of
the economy is doing, but the downtown Lower Dolphin economy

(29:34):
seems to be doing quite well. But I had a
great time there as well. Thank you to the people
at Soul Kitchen for all their hospitality. Now let's see
I do have an email that came into the Uncle
Henry Show last week. So let me get to this
to my email inbox and check this email. Subject line

(29:56):
on the email is animal Hierarchy email reach Hello Uncle Henry.
First half to state I was shocked that I spelled
hierarchy correctly. I even googled it to make sure it
was correct. The small things in life. Now onto the
heart of the email. I've heard you speak repeatedly about
your pet dogs, but I've never heard the words my

(30:19):
cat come through the podcast when I've been listening to
your podcast. It was probably a timing error on my part,
and you may have mentioned a cat in passing and
I was just not aware. Do you have a pet cat?
They are very easy to train and perform several tricks
like a use a litterbox, b meow when hungry, see

(30:41):
go to the door when wanting out, d that's about it.
Did you possibly acquire a step cat due to marriage.
If so, have you completely embraced the new addition to
the family. I also forgot to mention that a cat
will get along swimmingly with a possum. So if you
had to rank personal pets in which order would it

(31:03):
be dogs, cats, ferrets or ferrets cats, dogs, lamas, et cetera.
Thank you for the insight in that email from not
Caesar Milan, well, whoever you are, not Caesar Milan, thank
you for your email address. Uncle Henry Atieharmedia dot com.
I don't have a cat. I will have one in

(31:24):
the future. I've owned them, owned them for many, many
years before I got dogs. I don't like the litter
box aspect of a cat. I do not. I do
not enjoy the litter box. I don't like any aspect

(31:45):
of it. It's an invention that I'm suspicious of it.
It just seems like it's a trick.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
It does.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
It seems like somebody tricked human beings into having this.
Maybe maybe there are hyper intelligent cats hiding from us
that invented this and it's a trick on humans. But
it seems like a trick. The whole idea of a litterbox.
But I will have a cat in the future. I
just own two dogs that are very anti cat. Now.

(32:20):
When I did own a cat, I had a cat
for over ten years. That when I was a bachelor,
a celebate bachelor living here in Mobile back in the
nineteen nineties, I used to walk my cat on a leash.

(32:42):
And the reason I'm bringing that up is if you're
a lonely person and you want to meet people, or
maybe you're socially awkward and you don't know how to
start conversations with people, you're socially awkward, and you just
you feel inten imidated by walking up to people and

(33:02):
talking to them. All you got to do is walk
a cat on a leash and people will will flock
to you and ask you. Of course, they think you're
nuts and they want to know what's wrong with you?
Is there something wrong with you? But anyway, it's a
great icebreaker walking a cat on a leash that Just

(33:22):
remember this, if you're ever in a situation where you
want to make new friends or meet your neighbors, just
walk a cat on a leash. You will be People
will be drawn to you like you are a magnet,
and I met all my neighbor when I walk that
cat on that leash. I knew everybody. I knew the neighborhood.

(33:45):
But email or thank you for your email. I'm not
going to rank the cats and the dogs because I
don't want to start anything
