Speaker 1 (00:16):
This is the Uncle Henry Show here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Thank you for listening. I appreciate your
listener hood. Now, in this half hour up show, I'm
going to get to some voicemail and maybe some news items.
The voicemail to call the Uncle Henry Shows two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five
(00:40):
one two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave a
message for the Uncle Henry Show. Now, let's see. I've
got some messages that have been phoned in this week
by the Snake Trapper.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Hey, Obrah Henry Snake Trapper. Hey man, the New York
needs to file for impeachment against Mom Donnie.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Now there wait, now, has he been sworn in yet?
I haven't been paying attention. Is he? Has he already
been sworn in?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You? Why? Uncle Henry?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Because Kathy Holcombe, the Governor of New York, was asked
yesterday about, hey, when is this free transit system gonna
take place? And Kathy Holcombe stated that she does not
see a path forward with giving up that revenue that
(01:29):
the city so much relies on. At best, they can
try to make it affordable. So she knew this all along,
Uncle Henry, and let mom Donnie go on spreading the
lives that he's gonna give free transit system and free
child care.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
And also she was asked, and I'm sorry to interrupt you,
snake trapper, but I'm trying to put myself in the
place of a New York voter. If I was a
voter in New York, shouldn't all of the New York
voters understand and know that there was no way that
we're going to get this free stuff, that it doesn't exist.
(02:10):
Nothing's free. Are there people out there that don't realize
that that nothing's free?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
In the same interview, well what about the child care?
And she stated, and I'm paraphrasing that, basically that the
money's just not there and they would need at least
fifteen billion dollars to even try to start attacking the problem.
(02:37):
But man, I'll say to the people of New York,
y'all were lied to and fooled. Governor Holcombe knew all
alone that y'all were being lied to, and that the
city relies on the money from the bus fairs and
the transit. They cannot give it up. It's basically once
she stated on Grenry. So she left this man for
(03:01):
months going around lying to the people of New York.
She was perfectly fine with it. She could have come out,
you know, all myth ago and said, well, yeah he's
running for mayor, but look the money just isn't there.
So New York you've had. I would file for impeachment
on both of them, her for not coming forward and
(03:24):
him for being able to just blatantly lie to you.
But for all the folks that voted for Communist month, Donny,
you're getting exactly what you deserve. But I will tell
you try to hold his feet to the fire. Anytime
you were in his presence, asked him, where is the
free transit system? Where is the free child care? You're
(03:47):
not gonna get it. You were used and you're probably
just gonna sit back and soak it up and think,
oh we gotta coming. We couldn't COVID, we cout amen. Well,
you getting what you deserve. Man. It drives me crazy
how they'll just sit back and let this let his
lies go on, and a governor run in a state,
(04:10):
go sit back and let somebody blatantly lie to you
and not come forward. At least try to give an explanation. Look,
it would be nice if we could, but the money
just ain't there. I'm frustrated over and you have a
good day, my buddy.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well, thank snake Trapper, Thank you for that. Snake Trapper
compassionate towards the people of New York feeling he's frustrated
on their behalf, knowing that they've elected Mom Donnie. I
saw the news story earlier this week that Mom Donnie
says that he needs to meet with President Trump. Mom
Donnie is, of course, he's gonna he's gonna go to
(04:46):
the federal government and ask for a ton of money,
and Mom Donnie is talking about how he wants to
meet with President Trump. I wonder if President Trump will
meet with him. That would be That is one of
those meetings I would love to see. I don't know
how it would go. We've watched President Trump meet with
world leaders that he likes, and we've also seen Trump
(05:07):
meet with world leaders that he disagreed with, and he
would kind of sit there with him in front of
reporters and say things about him that they perhaps would
not like. I'm thinking about Canada and stuff like that.
So I don't know. I hope that there is a
meeting between Mom Donnie and President Trump just for entertainment
value alone. But Snake Trapper will just have to wait
(05:28):
back and watch and see. I do feel sorry for
the people in New York that didn't vote for Mom Donnie,
and also feel sorry for people that might find it
difficult to leave right away, because if he polices the
city the way he's talked about policing, No, Mom Donnie's
the one that said violence was what did he say
(05:50):
about violence? That it was an imaginary construct or it
was something ridiculous about violence itself. I would worry about
how they're going to police New York under Mom Donny,
because if violence gets bad up there, then tourism will
dry up, and then there'll be even less money for
(06:11):
all of his plans. Again the voiceman number two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six to leave a
message for the Uncle Henry show. Let's hear I've got
another voicemail. I think this is also a snake Trapper voicemail.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Hey over Henry snake Trapper. Yes again, hey man, I
was watching a program on the TV where these folks
that didn't know what they were were playing this pronoun
game over Henry.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
People who did not know what they were were playing
a game what.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Basically encouraging people to find out what their pronoun was
over Henry. So I thought, well, hell, if it's time
changing and people's got pronouns uh on Henry, I think
I pretty much come up with mine, So I'm gonna
share them with Uncle Henry. You are one of the
smartest people I know, so, uh, let me know what
(07:11):
you think and how close I am to my pronouns.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And and hey, if I'm one of the smartest people,
you know, you need to go. You need to get
to know more people. That's all. That's all I'm saying.
I appreciate the thought, but you need to get out
there and meet a few other people. All right, So
you're gonna tell me about your pronouns to my pronouns?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Uh the best way I can understand the game, Uncle Henry. Uh,
my my pronouns is uh is uh he or him?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You know what? Uh Man? I figured that out. And
then even has to go to college. Yeah, these both
absolutely is buddy, uh uh too, it is if it's
the latest voice message. Uh, let me let me know
what your pronouns are. Then, I think you if we're
gonna play this game, we need to know who and
(08:06):
what we are. So uh that man, I guess with
the best I can figure out, Minor he and him.
You have a good day, my friend.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Thank you, Snake Trapper, thank you very much for the
voicemail again the voicemail number two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. That's two five one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. And my pronouns are what they are,
what they should be. I was I was born with
male equipment. My equipment is mail, So you would you
(08:39):
would refer to me the way you would refer to
men or males. That's what That's what my pronouns would be,
the same as yours, Snake Trapper, he and him and
all that kind of stuff. All right, back after the
break with more Uncle Henry's show. This is the Uncle
(09:08):
Henry Show here on news radio seven to ten WNTEN.
We have news headlines coming up, news headlines coming your
way in ten minutes. Before we get to the news headlines,
there's a few news items that I would like to
learn about so I'm going to go to these news stories.
Here turns out there was some kind of a press
conference this week with the new mayor of Mobile, Mayor Spiro,
(09:33):
and the former mayor of Mobile, Mayor Standy. It was
at the Golf Quest Maritime Museum. Now I know that's
not what they call it anymore. They have a new
name for the golf Quest because the Golf Quest, of course,
one of the worst boondoggles in the history of the
Gulf Coast, one of the worst uses of federal tax dollar.
(09:57):
Building the Golf Quest Maritime Museum such a bad idea
that they they've had to rename the place to try
and get the stench of it, get the stanch of
Golf Quest off of it. Now they call it the
National Maritime Museum of the Gouf, not the Gulf of America.
But they're going to call it the National Maritime Museum
(10:18):
of the Gouf, because you never know what a future
president will rename the Gulf of America. So let me listen.
Here is a brief report from Fox ten on new
exhibits they're gonna get. They're gonna put new exhibits in there.
They keep trying to make it less of a boondoggle.
So let's hear what are the new exhibits coming to
(10:39):
the National Maritime Boondoggle Museum of the Gouff.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
National Maritime Museum of the Golf has three new, unique
and exciting exhibits that are coming starting next year. So
let's talk to bottom. You've got Son of a Sailor,
the Jimmy Buffett Experience, Delta Mosaic, Component of Life in
the port, and the people they're all coming. So thinking
director says, these exhibits will only help at vans a
(11:04):
part of Mobile that continues to develop.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
We really believe that that is going to bring people
to the waterfront and really ignite this waterfront. Along with
all the great things that the city's doing along this waterfront,
we think it's going to become a great corridor for
people to come and visit.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Getting back to the date, Sun of a Sailor opens
in September of next year. Delta Mosaic expected to open
in April of twenty twenty seven. The Nashville Maritime Museum
is right in downtown Mobile off Water Street by the
cruise terminal.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Okay, all right, it's and I read that the visitor
stats are up, so they are getting more visitors there,
trying to get more field trips. Yeah, they're trying to
get more field trips through there. For the Boondogo Museum, now,
if you really want people to go up in there
(12:01):
and have a lot of attendance numbers, trying to figure
out what could you put in there other than a casino,
because that, of course would get a lot of visitors
if there was a casino up in there. Now, the
Jimmy Buffett exhibit is a good step forward because there
are going to be some people that want to see
Jimmy Buffett exhibits up in that museum. Trying to think
(12:24):
what mobilions are attracted to. Mobilians love Marti Gras, but
we've already got a Marti Graus museum. Mobilians love to
party and drink. Maybe I wonder if they could do
like a some type of bartending exhibit, maybe sometimes maybe
have some tribute to bartenders and maybe even do classes,
(12:49):
turn it into a big bartending school. I know that
sounds weird to you, but I'm trying to think of
what what do mobilions show up for. I think they'll
show up Jimmy Buffett exhibits. But if you were to
put Bartending up in there, maybe some people could go
take classes on how to make all these fancy tropical
(13:09):
drinks or stuff. Maybe that would help. I don't know,
something football oriented that would be nice. Turn part of
it into a Nick Saban exhibit. Even though Nick Saban
has no ties to the Gulf Coast. People would still
go for that. They would, they would. People would have
put some type of tributes to Nick Saban and Bear
(13:31):
Bryan up in there. I think that'd get some attention.
Let see what else, Let's see. I think I've got
another story here for you. Here is a story about
the state of education in Alabama. A report card on
Alabama schools, is it not.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Alabama's Department of Education federal report card has been released, and.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
That is Sarah Wall of Fox ten reporting.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
And Alabama got its highest score in the near decade
that the yearly report card has been released. The report
card shows Alabama within eighty seven, again the highest score
Alabama has gotten the state's report cards.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Now, this is good news. I'm glad to hear this.
Alabama schools getting better.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Art shows an increase in math and English language arts
proficiency and a stagnet science proficiency. There was also an
increase in the state scores for college and career readiness.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
The two groups that are leading.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Now, this is the state school superintendent who is always
impeccably groomed. Have you seen this guy? He is very fast.
He should be teaching fashion classes.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Growth are the top, so we have more of our
advanced and gifted students who are showing growth. And then
at the bottom of the spectrum, so more of our
students who've been scoring in level one are continuing to
show growth.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Meantime, the state school board has pushed a lot for
students to get back in the classroom, including launching incentives
at reducing chronic student absenteeism. Alabama did improve in that
area as well. Last year's report nearly fifteen percent of
students were chronically absent. This year's report says it's down
to twelve percent.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
All right, well, I'm glad that numbers are moving in
the right direction for Alabama schools. That is very good.
Just make sure, but when a student graduates from school,
make sure they understand how interest rate works on credit
cards and how to handle their home finances. That would
be the one thing they need to learn out of time.
(15:38):
Thank you for listening, as they say in Sarahland, have
a good one. And as they say in Theodore, take
it eavesy
Speaker 2 (15:46):
All right later
