been in She's been up there in that Congress almost

(03:19):
as long as I've been in radio.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
She's done a lot better than me.

Speaker 8 (03:23):
By the way, I think her net worth something like
two hundred and forty million dollars.

Speaker 9 (03:27):
Now.

Speaker 8 (03:27):
I hope she goes on a series of lecturers. I
hope she lectures around the country teaching all of us
how to get our net worth up to two hundred
and forty million dollars on her salary. All right, let's
see two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
That's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
Lot to talk about. But I've got a living caller

(03:48):
on the line. Let me go to the phone, Hello,
Collor Heyer.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Cliff Cliff, you are live on the radio.

Speaker 7 (03:56):
Oh, Hendrat, We might just need to ask the Obamas
about how to get rich quick. All they ever did
was a lot of black folks, and they headed toward
it where they got four or five nice mansions. Ye
for just long and pooling black folks.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
Well, they they people loved.

Speaker 8 (04:17):
They get a lot of money for speeches and books
and stuff like that, doing quite well.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
Still they're just lying for a living. But this is
what I wanted. This is what I call you about
him South that.

Speaker 10 (04:33):
You know my wife she was ministering at the Waterfront mission.

Speaker 7 (04:38):
Yeah, they keep asking her to come back.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (04:41):
And I was sitting there looking at these guys. Man,
your heart goes out for them, right because the people
were listening. We're listening at the.

Speaker 10 (04:51):
Rooms to the wrong people.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
The Democrats never have, the politicians and left never have had.

Speaker 10 (05:00):
A good plan for black people except for to keep
them pour and keep them voting.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
And it dawned on me sitting in that chair, as stupid.

Speaker 10 (05:13):
As I am, man, these people are telling you in
your face that we're gonna stop everything that don't Trump
tries to do.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
No matter what it is okay. Now they're getting ready
to not have any food for Thanksgiving because some of
these people didn't have nerves enough. When you got money,
you stock up, you put away, so you got these
food stamps, you stock up, you put away. But these

(05:48):
people are so stupid they're till blaming dumb them Donald
Trump for what's going on. When the Democrat parties sit
there and tell these people every day, whatever he tried
to do, we're going to stop it.

Speaker 10 (06:02):
Black people have been stupid ever since living ban, just
a new deal. It's amazinging how stupid e people they
still blaming.

Speaker 7 (06:12):
Donald Trump when the Democrat the leftists have told the
people that they love, we don't care if you stop.
We're going to do everything we can to stop Donald Trump,
even feeding you.

Speaker 8 (06:26):
You have a bliss down and Cliff, thank you very
much for your phone call. I appreciate hearing from you, Cliff,
and would love to hear more about the ministering your
wife done down at the Waterfront Rescue and in terms
of stopping what Trump is doing and all that kind
of stuff. Of course, the Democrats get in the shutdown,

(06:47):
all they got to do is go in and vote,
and they could they could stop it as quick as
I mean, just like that, it'd be over if they
wanted to. But now I don't know. I thought for
sure there'd be a caving by now. But did the
victories of the leftists over this week? Is that are

(07:09):
they now afraid to end the shutdown because they don't
want to make the people that voted upset, the base upset.
I don't know, really curious about how long this is
going to go. And like you, this is because it's
the longest shut down, no idea how long it ago.
But Trump, Cliff, you mentioned running on the premise of

(07:31):
stopping everything Trump does. The problem with that is he
won't be there in a few years. Then what do
you run against? Are you going to just run against
people who shook hands with Trump or people that were
photographed with Trump? I mean what, I'll have to have
something new to run against. I'm sure that, And that's

(07:54):
what they're building jd vance up to be. Is the
is the next best thing to Donald Trump to run against?
But Cliff it it'd be nice if I was trying
to figure out what are the political parties promising us
either one and and have they delivered on it? It's
worth thinking about then before, certainly before the next time

(08:17):
we vote, which will be next year coming up. There's
there's so much to get to. I got to go
into a break for traffic and weather and words from
our sponsors, but so many things to get into. I've
got some provocative voicemails. I've got all these news items
to touch upon on the national, state and local level.

(08:40):
All that and more as we move forward here on
this beautiful, gorgeous Thursday, back after the break with more
Uncle Henry's Show.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
On news radio WNTM.

Speaker 8 (09:15):
It is five twenty Uncle Henry Show proceeding Ford telephone
number if you'd like to call in tell me something
two five one four seven nine two seven two three
two five one four seventy nine two seven two three
let me go to the voicemail voicemail number two five
one two one six nineteen seventy six.

Speaker 11 (09:36):
B tyer Well lunchil I see here on the Facebook
word Nacy Pelosi has retired.

Speaker 12 (09:43):
Good riddance, you old hag.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
Oh my, all right, well, sixty eight year old Chris
using the the insult hag. Now that's still do Does
Generation Z use that as an insult? Because I'm now,
I haven't heard that thrown around a lot in the
last few years, and I'm curious, does gen Z use

(10:09):
that as an insult? Or is it strictly jen sixty
eight year old Chris?

Speaker 5 (10:14):
What would that be? Boomer?

Speaker 8 (10:17):
Is that a boomer insult to call someone a hag?
Either way, it's not a nice thing to be called.
Now you heard what sixty eight year old Chris had
to say about Nancy Pelosi retiring, Good riddance, and then
he insulted her in that way. Now President Trump had
something to say about it. If you did not hear

(10:37):
what he had to say, here is a brief report
on that.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Ask for any reaction to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
announcing she won't run for another term, President Trump responded,
I think.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
She's an evil woman.

Speaker 13 (10:50):
I'm glad she's retiring. I think she did the country
a great service by retired.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Pelosi served as.

Speaker 8 (10:56):
So a very evil woman, doing the country a good
service by retiring. And she gave an interview in the
last few days where she said something I can't remember
the exact quote. She said something that he that she
said that Donald Trump was the most vile thing on earth,
or something like that on the entire planet. Now, when

(11:17):
I when I look at her net worth in Congress,
since the late eighties, the salary around two hundred and
twenty grand. Her net worth is now two hundred and
forty million dollars. Now that is that is uh, that's
pretty good. I would think two hundred and forty million dollars,

(11:42):
I would think. Now, see, I'm not I know this
may shock you, but I've not done that well compared
to Nancy Pelosi. Compared to Nancy Pelosi, I'm not in
her zip code when it comes to money.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
Two hundred and forty million dollar networth.

Speaker 8 (12:00):
When you have a net worth of two hundred and
forty million dollars now the way I imagine that, I
don't know what it's really like. Of course, because I'm
still I'm a I'm at a point in life where
I'm still budgeting and stuff like that. Two hundred and
forty million dollars. I would I would imagine, maybe I'm wrong,

(12:22):
but I would imagine I'd be in a good mood
most of the time, wouldn't you wouldn't you guess you
would be sure you can't buy happiness allegedly, but wouldn't
you be in.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
A good mood? I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I don't.

Speaker 8 (12:37):
I think I'd be walking around smiling really big if
I had a net worth like that, I don't even
know if i'd give an interview to throw out some insults. Well,
that kind of money she could, she could buy a
blimp and put, you know, have an insult about President
Trump on the blimp and fly it around anywhere he goes.

(12:59):
I mean, two hundred and forty million dollars. Of course,
now that she's announced her retirement, other Congress people are
talking about some type of legislation to prevent all of
this stock trading where you've noticed that some congress people

(13:19):
outperform the rest of the people play in the market
quite significantly, do quite well for each other. I think
there's probably some other people in Congress doing even better
than her messing around with the market. They won't give
us term limits. Could they at least make it so

(13:40):
that they can't use insider trading knowledge they've got that
we don't, so that their stocks don't outperform the rest
of us. Could they at least throw us that bone
of passing some legislation where they're not going to be
able to insider trade. Just throw us a bone there

(14:03):
two five one four seven nine two seven two three
telephone number.

Speaker 13 (14:06):
Hello caller, we'll sew up Uncle Henry. How you doing, man,
I'm doing good.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
How you doing?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (14:14):
Doing doing well?

Speaker 7 (14:14):
This is Steve by the way.

Speaker 13 (14:17):
Sometimes you don't recognize my voice is all good. But yeah, man,
I'm actually at home today. I didn't I'm not not
driving home like normally when I call you, but my
verdigo was kicking in today, so I had to take
the day off unfortunately. But it's it's getting better. I'm
I'm I'm I'm feeling a lot better and good. And
uh took a little took a little cs to earlier

(14:40):
and and you know how rest always helps. But uh yeah, yeah.
These Democrats, uh and in the media that is the
Democrats also, they're they're just they're they're spending this, they're
they're they're they're making people suffer. Well, they're getting paid,

(15:02):
they're you know, the people they're cutting off people's food
and everything. I think they want to saw it costs
chaos in the street because they know that. You know, Unfortunately,
a lot of people that are on EBT are gonna
blame Trump because they think that people are uneducated. It's
how the government works, right, And they don't understand that

(15:24):
Donald Trump can't just wave his hand and say pay
the people. You know, he can't do that. It's the
Congress has to allocate the money, right, the Senate in particular,
they have to vote. And for some reason, the Republicans
in the Senate won't do what the Democrats will do.
They say, oh, well, the Democrats get in there, they're

(15:45):
going to they already have. They did it, they set
the precedent. But the Republicans are spineless and they won't
do what the Democrats did a few years ago. Change
the rules nuclear option and change the rules back. That's
what the Democrats did under Harry Reid. What's the problem.
I don't understand. We need to get some stuff done.

(16:06):
Let's get it done. But they're spine lists and they're old.

Speaker 12 (16:10):
There's going to be.

Speaker 13 (16:11):
They arrested Donald Trump's lawyers. Think about that, Yeah, they arrested.
They arrested Donald Trump's legal counsel on Rico charges.

Speaker 12 (16:22):
All right.

Speaker 13 (16:22):
I think they pushed the issue just about as far
as they can without just sending stormtroopers to Maga's people's houses,
kicking the door in with Hey, they did that too
for some people just wandering around the Capitol on January sixth.
So unless the Republicans grow a spine and go ahead
and end this fight now while we got like the

(16:44):
guy and the Godfather said, let's hit him while we
got the muscle to do it. Otherwise it's you know,
if they get back in power, they if they mess
this up and they let those Democrats back in power,
even just the House of Representative is going to be impeachment,
impeachment and teaching.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
That is right, You're I'm with you on that thing.

Speaker 13 (17:05):
And it looks like it's slipping away because you know
the way. But I'm not that concerned with those races,
you know, yesterday, day before whatever, because it was blue
people winning in blue areas. Right, But you know, they
start flipping seats in areas that that got flipped before,
these purple areas and everything, and they lose that Congress,

(17:28):
it's all over, it's done. You know, they're they're they're
liable to put a price on our heads. You know,
these people are they just elected a guy who wanted
to kill some guy, so I want to kill kill
his political opponents children and said if he had Paul
pot Hitler in the same room with two bullets, that
that guy would get to that guy gets shot twice.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
Yeah, hey, Steve, I'm on the break. Thank you for
your call.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Use radio seventy ten WNTM.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
It says the Uncle Henry Show. It is five thirty five.

Speaker 8 (18:17):
Telephone number two five one two three. I've got a
caller on the line. Caller, hang on just a second.
I want to briefly want to say something to Steve,
who just had called and was talking about He described
what he said were spineless Republicans in the Senate on
the topic of the filibuster. He called them spineless. Now

(18:40):
I have a personal.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
Opinion Personal opinion time.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
Yes, it's personal opinion time.

Speaker 11 (18:47):
Personal opinion time, Personal opinion time, Steve.

Speaker 8 (18:50):
It is my personal opinion that there are many Republicans
in the Senate, especially that do not like President Trump
at all. I know this is a shock too many people,
but I believe that there are numerous Senate Republicans. They
don't like President Trump. They pretend to, they pretend to,

(19:13):
but they don't like him. There's many politicians in Washington,
DC that are very comfortable with the status quo that
was there before Trump. They like the status crow. They
don't really care if they're in the majority of the minority.
They figured out how to make some cash. They got
the donors lined up that they want to have lined up.
They vote for the stuff that gets some money from

(19:34):
the donors. They just enjoyed. They're on a gravy train
up there, and they're waiting him out. They're waiting him out.
They know he's got a few more years. They're waiting
him out. I don't know that it's spineless as much
as it is that they're just they just really don't
care to do what Trump and Trump's voters want done.

(19:54):
They're just glad to be up there. It's a cushy job.
It's hard to lose when you're a senator. That's just again,
personal opinion opinion time two five one nine two three.
The telephone number here on the Uncle Henver Show.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Hello caller, Hey, OK, Henry, how you doing?

Speaker 5 (20:15):
Is this snake trapper?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Hey overha snake trapper?

Speaker 7 (20:19):
How it is? How you doing it?

Speaker 5 (20:21):
I've been I've been wondering if you're okay? Are you
all right? You've been gone a.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
While over Henry. I have, man, I've been doing a
whole lot of reflecting, Uncle Henry, and this thing with
the way the federal government is going with the shutdown
and in this uh ai atlas uh it's just appeared
from the backside of our son. Then let me tell
you what's going on, man, uh. Our federal government has

(20:48):
failed us over Henry. Nancy Pelosi will never be held
accountable because of the fact. Uh, not only are a
bunch of Democrats doing that, but also then Trump, Hayden
Republicans are yea. And as far as I'm concerned, over Henry,
the federal government shut down, it needs to stay that way.

Speaker 10 (21:07):
Now.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I hate it for the people that has dependent on
our federal government for food or what have you. I
hate it for them and what I would say to them, people,
that you are making wrong choices in dislife, Uncle Henry.
My grandmother taught me to trust God first and myself second,

(21:28):
and in doing that in life, Uncle Henry, like I said,
I don't care if the federal government ever opens again,
Uncle Henry, it will not affect me one bit. I'm
like the old country boy can survive, so I can
skin a buck and run a trot line for Henry
and I will survive. It's not gonna affect me. And

(21:50):
it is absolutely disgusting because I have realized that our
federal government has failed us. And yeah, Democrats of luck,
but the Republicans also on Henry, Well, it.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
Couldn't it couldn't happen without the Republican Yeah, it could.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Not have happened without them. As far as I'm concerned,
I would love to see the federal government abolished or
to an extent where it's only factor in this country
or our states is to protect it militarily. Uh and
nothing else, nothing else, Uncle Henry. Uh, I mean they've

(22:30):
sold us out and I've come a conclusion that this
country is lost and it is and and then over
the next year, uh next upcoming year on Grenrord, they
gone in for us about this uh this uh uh
this uh comment that is uh like I said it
service from the backside of our son on Henrys nast
and like an comment is all and uh. The great physicists,

(22:53):
Harvard graduate Ivy Low has done uh confirmed that there
is a good that that is alien technology. And one
of our senators have done said that they have craft
in the ocean that is able to move at two
hundredlus miles an hour, almost at a speed of sound,
which is for this folks that don't know, is up

(23:15):
close to seven Well, I think it's seven hundred and
fourteen one hundred miles an hour. So I don't know
what's going on over Henry. But what I do know
is I trust in the Lord, and no matter what happens,
I will be fine and I will be eating. So
you know, I hate it for the people that has
depended on them. I hate it for I mean, I'm

(23:38):
just confused on Henry. But once said, I'm not worried
because I know the Lord has my bag, and anybody
out there that is troubled, I would ask them to
reach out to Jesus Christ. If you do not believe
in the Lord, reach out and try to see him,
and he will let you know that he exists on here.
So you know, to each his own. Everybody, it seems like, oh,

(24:01):
this upcoming a future this year, you are on your own.

Speaker 13 (24:07):
I know that's a lot to take in on.

Speaker 8 (24:09):
Well it is, but I'm going I just want to say, uh,
I agree with with much of what you said. I
don't I don't know about the comment part because I'm
not as I haven't read up on it as as
much as you have. But I certainly agree with your
opinion of the way the federal government has been run.
What they what are our elected officials have allowed her
to become. Uh, it has become a an entity of itself,

(24:33):
the bureaucratic.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Nature of it.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
And I'm with you on that part definitely. But I'm
I'm just glad to hear from you because I was
worried that, uh, that's that you were maybe having a
health crisis or something. So I'm I'm glad that you're
still alive and kicking and able to feed yourself.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Oh, I'm alive and gonna be kicking on Henry. Like
I said, I've been I've been busy. I've been working
by but man to all the out there that's confused
and don't know what to do, Uh, I would ask
you to reach out to the Lord, you know. I mean,
it's in the Bible. If you seek him, you will
find him. And what gets me is the people that

(25:12):
don't believe Uncle Henry, that will not even try. But
if you if you're out there and you're a non believer,
if you'll just reach out to them. You'll find out
and you will become a believer and and nothing can
harm you. Uncle hen like that, if if if North
Korea dropped an atomic bomb on us today, I know
that tomorrow I will be in the presence of the Lord.

(25:34):
So therefore I'm not worried. I'm not worried, and I
will be able to feed my family. I got a
four to ten shotgun over Henry, and I got probably
about six hundred ground and that lake out here in
my house is full of geese and turtles, so my
family will eat. I don't care how bad it gets.
And like I said, far as I'm concerned, I think
the federal government should not ever reopen. Uh and if

(25:56):
it does, it would open to a point where it
it's only use is to defee.

Speaker 13 (26:01):
Any the country against you know, foreign enemies.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Now and then let us let it go back to
the way it was, you know, when the Thirteen Collaries,
when the states all did theirselves. And then if you
want to live in a state like New York where
the communist that wants to pay for everything, and you know,
and that's the life you want to go, or you
can go to Texas, Florida, Alabama, where if you want
to work hard and make your own living, you can.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
All right, well, Snake Trapper, thanks for calling.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yes, sir on Green and you have a good day
manure you too.

Speaker 8 (26:33):
Thank you very much, Snake Trapper. And perhaps in the
future we'll get a call not just about the government,
but also about snake behaviors and activities. As we're heading
into a deep cold snap next week, are these snakes
going to be coming into our houses? We'll have to

(26:53):
learn about that at some point here in the next
few days. Are going to take a time out with traffic,
weather and words from our sponsors, and then more Uncle
Henry Show here on news radio seven to ten WNTMUH.

Speaker 8 (28:16):
I got a voicemail just moments ago during snake Trapper's call.

Speaker 12 (28:21):
Uncle Henry. Just because somebody receives assistance from the government
does not necessarily mean that they have made wrong choices
in life. Thank you, Brabi.

Speaker 8 (28:31):
All right, sir, thank you for that, and I agree
with that. I am glad that we help people in
our country. I'm glad I want to take care of widows,
want to take care of orphans, want to take care
of the disabled people that cannot take care of themselves.

(28:52):
Absolutely want to take care of those folks, and also
want to help people who have had maybe a loss
to job and need some temporary help just to help
them get to the next job. So yeah, I'm with
you that not everybody has made a bad choice when
they end up getting help from the government in that way.
Thank you very much for that voice. Fund number two

(29:14):
five one two one six nineteen seventy six. That's two
five one two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave
a message for the Uncle Henry show. Now I got
an odd voicemail from Beuford. This this was unexpected, but

(29:35):
I'm gonna go ahead and share it because this might
have information.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
Well, this this is news to me.

Speaker 11 (29:42):
And this here is.

Speaker 14 (29:45):
Henry.

Speaker 11 (29:46):
If you ever wondered where craigheads and this heads and
old street walking prostitutes go after they have survived all
the bad decisions they've made in their life and reached
old age, their elderly statuses, Henry, they can be found

(30:06):
that the dog Crack casino here in Theodore. Oh my lord,
what a collection of humanity. And Henry, you know, I've
always been for casino gambling, but uh, walking in that
place is kind of altered my perspective on it. I'm
still fall by the.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
Way I have not been out there. I'm trying to
think of the last time somebody took me to dinner
out there. This would have been like nineteen eighty nine. Yeah,
nineteen nineties. There's the last time I've been out there.

Speaker 11 (30:45):
Or casino gambling. But Henry, I do not believe a
casino should be allowed in a decent area. Boy, does
it draw in the trash. Henry at Moore is a
good place for a casino? What but uh? And Theodore
is not really a bad place for a casiner, But
you do not want one in your backyard. Let me

(31:07):
tell you and Henry, what is what surprises me? And
I've worked with the public for twenty six twenty seven
years now, Yeah, not much surprises me. But what surprises
me is the amount of prostitution that it brings in.

Speaker 8 (31:21):
Now again, I'm very uncomfortable with this topic. But you're
claiming that this is God, this is in the Theodore
area that they're you're talking about prostitution in the Theodore area.

Speaker 11 (31:36):
The amount of prostitution that it brings in, Henry, and
you know, elderly prostitutes if that's your thing, they can
be found in a casina, but also too elderly. It's
surprisingly how many young gals that have decent jobs like waitress,

(32:00):
awful house waitresses and such jobs like that. Yeah, that
that hook on the side to use a slag time
what Let me tell you.

Speaker 8 (32:09):
What careful I cannot believe I have this is I've
been doing this show. I've been doing this show since
when it's been a long time. No one has ever
revealed any of this. I've never heard the phrase uttered
on mobile radio. Hook on the side.

Speaker 11 (32:25):
I've never heard this side to use a slag time
and handed. Let me tell you be careful. They they
target elderly men. When they make a big winning on
a slot machine, Henry, they'll slide right on in.

Speaker 8 (32:40):
I'm not playing the slots.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
I'm not playing the slots.

Speaker 11 (32:44):
You go to a casino, Henry with your new bride,
you're most likely there will be a jealous incident that's
uncomfortable for all parties involved.

Speaker 8 (32:56):
Right, well, look let me stop you there. Now, my
bride and I we now to each his own. It's
still allegedly a free country in some ways. So whatever
you you, whatever you want to do, listener, But my
bride and I were just we're not into the uh,
we're not into we're not entertained by the gambling.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
What what?

Speaker 8 (33:18):
And I understand that it affects some people's minds, but
some people really are just excited when they see those
slim machines and stuff. It just doesn't it doesn't attract
me in any way, which and I thank the Lord
for that.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
I'm glad.

Speaker 11 (33:32):
I just never seen a many prostitutes in one spot
just openly working.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (33:37):
Anyway, Henry, just observation of life.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
You have a good day.

Speaker 8 (33:42):
All right, Well, Beauford, what a mind blowing This is
one of the more mind blowing voicemails I've received in
in the history of the program. With a learning new phrases,
learning new behaviors. This made me nervous just listening to

(34:05):
it made me nervous. All right, listener, we're gonna move
away from this topic. The Uncle Henry Show will continue
after the news break, and I am moving away away
from the topic. It says the Uncle Henry Show here

(34:45):
on News Radio seventy ten WNTM. Thank you for listening.
I appreciate very much you're listening to the Uncle Henry Show.
Now in this half hour of show, I might get
to a voicemail from a listener. But I got some
news I want to go over here that I missed.
You might have missed them too, so we can learn

(35:06):
together about the world in which we live. All right,
let's first start off here in Mobile Alabama with some
Mobile Alabama news. Next week, there is going to be
a hiring event. The City of Mobile wants to hire you. Theoretically,

(35:27):
they want to hire you to help them with Marti
Gras barricades. Marti Gras barricade crews are going to be hired,
and they've got some kind of a application fair coming
up next Wednesday, day after Veteran's Day.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
Let's listen together. This is a.

Speaker 8 (35:44):
Brief story from Fox ten. We'll hear it read to
us by a Camering tailor.

Speaker 5 (35:50):
Here he is.

Speaker 6 (35:52):
Well, Marty Graul might be a few months away, but
the City of Mobile is trying to hire seasonal employees
to work on barricade cruise for next year's parades. The
city is holding an application fair next Wednesday from eight
am until noon at the Traffic Engineering Building. All employees
will have to work every parade, So if you plan
on going to the application fair, bring a valid ID

(36:14):
and Social Security card. You'll also need to pass a
physical and drug test before you're hired.

Speaker 8 (36:19):
Okay, all right, now, Yes that made me chuckle because
I thought, okay, he threw the drug test in there.
I wonder how many how many of the potential potential
applicants are now no longer interested? Unfortunately, unfortunately, in modern America,
there's probably there probably less people interested and in signing
up for the thing. But you have to work every parade.

(36:41):
This is a job where you'd go to every parade,
and if I understand it correctly, you'd get down there
at like three in the afternoon and put the barricades
out and everything, and then you'd wait until after the
parades are over, and then I don't know what you do.
But if that sounds like fun, that happens next week.
The possibility of going to the application fair, just take

(37:04):
all of your info Social Security card and be able
to pass a drug test, because you can't have you
can't have drug aduled freaks setting up the barricades because
the barricades are meant to keep drug adult freaks from
wandering into the parade route. The barricades work against the

(37:26):
drug adult freaks, So can't you Naturally, you can't have
a drug addult freak putting out the barricades all right now,
Speaking to Martigrauth, there's another Marti Graus story here from
Fox ten. This is about a new Martigras plate, a
Marti Gras license plate. You'll be able to put an
official State of Alabama Marti Gras plate on your vehicle.

(37:49):
Let's listen together as Fox ten explains this to.

Speaker 14 (37:52):
Us, Mamma, drivers might soon have another way to show
their pride when it's fine gral time.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
A specialty license place Raadymobile as the birthplace of Marty Gras.

Speaker 14 (38:03):
Our Jordan Lassiter met with those behind the plate and
got reaction from some of you.

Speaker 15 (38:09):
Many people outside the Port city don't know that Marti
Gras originated right here, so to honor that a local
mother daughter duo designed a license plate that will soon
get the road.

Speaker 8 (38:20):
All right now in the video, they're showing the license plate. Now,
unfortunately radio we've been around for a long time. Radio
has but we still haven't figured out how to put
a picture through the radio waves.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
We're still working on it, but it is.

Speaker 8 (38:38):
It looks like it's got a Marti Gras mask on
it and it's got the traditional Marti Gras colors on it.
That's the only way I can describe it to you.

Speaker 16 (38:48):
She and I went to Montgomery to the State House
and presented it to the Legislative Oversight Committee, and we
just had to explain to them why did we want
this category and what we are We gonna do with
the money, and they unanimously approved it.

Speaker 15 (39:04):
To receive a personalized license plate in the state of Alabama,
the design must be tied to an organization like a nonprofit.
Carol Denelly and her daughter Jessica Allen created the Birthplace
of Manti Gras Foundation so drivers in the state can
have a plate that showcases their Mandi Gras spirit and
be able to give back to local Mandi Gras crews
and celebrations.

Speaker 16 (39:25):
Because obviously we are the birthplace on Marti Gras Mobile
Alabama seventeen oh three. We did it first and now
we're the first to also have a license plate. This
took several several different tries before it got approved. We
worked on this for a year.

Speaker 15 (39:40):
The plate was designed by a local artist of the
name Reagan Winter Windsor paided the design by hand, then
transferred it digitally. Winsor is known for her works on
mules around downtown Foley.

Speaker 12 (39:51):
Yeah, I definitely like it.

Speaker 6 (39:52):
It's kind of emblematic of the city and it's different
than any of the others I've seen.

Speaker 12 (39:57):
So I like that one.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
Definitely.

Speaker 15 (39:58):
I'd get that one.

Speaker 5 (39:59):
I definitely like them.

Speaker 6 (40:00):
The beats around the city.

Speaker 9 (40:01):
Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 8 (40:02):
I'd recommend it for people, especially in the Marti Graus Association.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Well, it does.

Speaker 9 (40:06):
It's pretty festive.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Yeah, it's very nice.

Speaker 15 (40:08):
So they've completed the lengthy process to get their design
approved by the state. Now what Well, pre orders for
the Marti Gras plate began on November first, and by
next year November one of twenty twenty six, they need
to reach one thousand sells to get the plates permanently
on the roads. Jordan Lassiter, Fox ten.

Speaker 8 (40:26):
News, Okay, now, I like hearing how it happened, the process.
Local people thought they wanted to make sure that people
knew about this. That mobile is the birthprate. So Marti Graus,
you heard all of it. I liked hearing about that,
learning about it. I liked learning about the process of
trying to get a specialty plate created for a state.

(40:50):
But now I'm I'm and I don't know if there's
something wrong with me, but I'm not the type to
want to go out and get specialty license plates. Now
you I know, now you probably love having a different
kind of specialty license plate on your car every year,
donating money to different causes and things like that. Many

(41:13):
good causes represented on these specialty license plates. But I'm
I come from the time before they existed, and so
I don't see it as a necessity.

Speaker 5 (41:24):
I don't.

Speaker 8 (41:25):
I don't see it as a necessity. In fact, I don't.
I'm not one to get a specialty license plate of
any kind. It feels narcissistic to me that you would
want to call attention to yourself and put put put
your name or or some phrase or something on the
back of your car. Now, look, I'm not critical of you,

(41:48):
because I know you've probably got your nickname on the
back of your car, or your who knows what special
message you have on the back of your car, communicating
to the world as they're driving behind you. Whatever you're
trying to communicate, I don't care. You can just put
some letters and numbers on the back of my car
and I don't care if I've got to, I don't care. See,

(42:10):
I would be different if I was gonna personalize something
instead of a license plate on my car. I'd rather
have big speakers mounted on the back of my car,
in the front of my car, and a microphone in
my car so that I could just talk to people.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
While I'm driving.

Speaker 8 (42:29):
Yes, I'd like to say stuff to people that are
behind me, like hey, back.

Speaker 5 (42:33):
Off, back off, you're tailgating. Back off.

Speaker 8 (42:37):
I'd love to have that, or be able to project
in front of my car, like hey, quit looking at
your phone. The light's green, you know. I would like
to be able to yell at other drivers to a speaker.
I'd like that a lot better than some type of
life some type of vanity plate on the back of
my car that has my name on it, or some

(43:00):
variation of old times.

Speaker 5 (43:02):
That's just me, that's just me, all.

Speaker 8 (43:03):
Right, Look, there's more to come. Deal Cleaner Show continues
after the break. Let's take the Dad Gum Break Dell

(43:36):
Clenrig Show here on News Radio seven ten WNTM. News
headlines coming up in ten minutes. Before we get to
the news headlines, I was looking around at the different
news websites for Alabama looking for different news items that
I might have missed, which is most of them, and
I saw the WSFATV up in Montgomery. They do a

(43:58):
feature that is this day in History. Yeah, they do
it this day in History feature on their TV station.
And yesterday was the anniversary of Bob Riley being elected
governor of Alabama, yesterday was It was in two thousand
and two.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
This is brief. Let's listen to what they had.

Speaker 8 (44:20):
To say here WSFA Stepsister station to Fox ten with
this date in history.

Speaker 5 (44:27):
This is for yesterday three.

Speaker 15 (44:29):
We're looking back at our country's history as we as
a part to vower we the people initiative.

Speaker 17 (44:34):
It was on this day twenty three years ago in
Alabama that Republican Bob Riley defeated the incumbent Democratic governor
Don Siegelmann. It was a close, scubernatorial election, Riley earning
just zero point twenty two percent more of the vote
and cementing the Republican's power in the state. Initially, both
men declared victory, but Riley was ultimately named the winner,

(44:57):
and President George W. Bush called him to congratulate him
on his victory.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
We'll have more stories from this day in his all right.

Speaker 8 (45:05):
So it was what they say twenty three years ago
the Bob Riley was elected governor. I don't often think
of Bob Briley. What do you you got any thoughts
on Bob Riley. Now there was some good and bad.
Obviously he must have done stuff you liked because he
was governor for two terms, so you must have liked him.

(45:26):
Something about him. There were good points and bad points,
good points and bad points. Now, my favorite point with
Bob Riley was his Southern accent. He had a similar
He sounded like he could have been a relative of
Gomer Pile. He did, he did. He sounded like he

(45:49):
could have been a relative to Gomer Pile. So I
like that. That was something I enjoyed hearing it comforted me.
The Southern accent comforts me. The thing I didn't like
about Bob Riley was right after he got elected. I
don't know if you remember this, but just almost immediately
out of the gate, right after he won that election

(46:10):
narrowly defeating the Democrat, Bob Riley proposed the largest tax
increase in the history of the state of Alabama. Do
you remember that He pressured the legislature on this. He
twisted a lot of arms to get that, to get

(46:32):
that going, largest tax increase in the state of Alabama.
And it went up to a vote of all we
were all having to vote yes or no on this
tax increase. And I remember all the pressure. This was
back when we used to have the mobile Pressure Rest newspaper.
I remember a Sunday before that vote. They had multiple

(46:54):
pages where they printed big pictures of all of the
prominent people pushsh pushing for the tax increase. You had
lots of politicians pushing for the tax increase, lots of
prominent citizens pushing for the tax increase. You remember this,
and the voters said no. Alabama voters voted no on

(47:16):
the tax increase. Now, Bob Riley, he came on my
show a bunch trying to convince voters to vote for it.
Here's a clip of Bob Riley on the Uncle Henry
Show from twenty three years ago. It's been that long ago,
twenty three years ago. Here he is from years ago.

(47:39):
I think this clip. I hadn't listened to this, and
probably I don't know how many years I think he's
asking me or I asked him if he really thought
people would vote to raise their own taxes.

Speaker 9 (47:51):
Ouk Henry, I don't know. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Do you hear the gomer pile in this? Because I
really enjoy the accent.

Speaker 9 (47:58):
Trying to think, what can I say the people of
Alabama to make them understand the situation, make them appreciate
the situation and believe that we can do a lot better.
And I tried it last night. But even after I
did it last night, like I say, I went home
and I told my wife.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
I.

Speaker 9 (48:18):
Really don't know what anybody could have ever said to
me that would make me believe that you can't do this,
you can't do that.

Speaker 8 (48:25):
And you know, he was right because people didn't buy it.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
We didn't buy it.

Speaker 8 (48:30):
We did not vote to raise our taxes, the biggest
tax increase in the history of the state. Here's a
little bit more of him from that same appearance on
the show, talking about what the culture of Montgomery.

Speaker 9 (48:43):
Well, we have that problem. Everywhere I go, people say,
you know, we're just not going to send more money
down there for the legislature to do with as they please.
And this has been a real challenge. But one of
the things everybody wants to talk about the taxes. What
I can't trying to tell people there is more reform

(49:04):
in this one vote than I think all the reform
measures I've seen the last forty years combined. There is
more accountability in this one vote.

Speaker 5 (49:13):
Well, we didn't go for it, bility.

Speaker 9 (49:15):
Measures I can ever remember voting on. Yeah, But again,
it's hard when you have something discomprehensive. When you have
a plan that basically changes Montgomery's culture, there is going
to be a lot of opposition because a lot of
people love the way Montgomery operates. They got a pretty
good deal down here, and they are putting a lot

(49:37):
of money behind this to keep it just the way
it's always been.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
Well.

Speaker 8 (49:43):
People voted no on the largest tanks increase in the
history of the state. And when I met Bob Broa
after the vote failed, I was never publicly in favor
of it. I was against it the whole time. He
did not like that, and he never came out on
my show again. All right, out of time, Thanks for listening,

(50:03):
as they say, and Sara Lane, have a good one.
As they say in Theodore, take it easy all right
Later
