much you listening to the Uncle Henry Show. Yes, I'm here.
I've not been let go. I'm still here doing this
show once again. Here we are together, me and you
(01:55):

You can also you can listen as you are now
where you can watch. If you'd like to see video
of an older man struggling, you can watch the live
(02:36):
video streaming on YouTube. Just look for Uncle Henry's show
on YouTube and you will find the dull video of
the older man standing at the microphone. We've got, of course,
numerous things to get into on today's Uncle Henry Show,
but one topic that really got my attention, I will
this is something I did not I guess I should
(02:56):
have expected, but I did not expect it, especially this
time of year. Today, President Trump signed an executive order
about dope smoking. Yes, President Trump addressing the dope smoking
issue in this country signing an executive order about this. Now,
(03:17):
if you're one of them dope smokers out there, and
we've heard a lot about you. In fact, I think
it was former Mobile City Council and Fred Richardson said
half half of the vehicles in Mobile County have people
in the vehicles right now using the dope and smoking it.
If you're one of those people, let me tell you
(03:39):
calm down. He calmed down dope smoker. President Trump did not.
He did not legalize the devil's weed. He did not.
President Trump did not legal eyes the dope smoke. All right,
(04:04):
So don't go out there and think, wow, he signed
this piece of paper. Now I can just walk around
in the mall with it and walk over here, go
into in and out of the walmart with no calm
down dope smoker. He did not legalize your favorite vice.
(04:24):
Let's listen together. I've got audio here of President Trump
talking about his dope smoking initiative. Let's listen so that
we can learn together about what President Trump has done
today with his pen on the paper.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So I've always told my children don't take drugs, no
drinking nor smoking, and just stay away from drugs. They
would look at me and they said, Dad, would just
stop saying that. I would say every time I looked
at it, practically.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Think about it. And they've turned out, at least from
what we can tell now, they've turned out okay.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Young Americans are a special at risk. So unless a
drug is recommended by a doctor for medical reasons, just
don't do it. At the same time, the facts compel
the federal government to recognize that marijuana can be legitimate
in terms of medical applications when carefully administered. In some cases,
(05:19):
this may include the use as a substitute for addictive
and potentially lethal opioid painkillers, and they cause tremendous problems.
This can do it in a much lesser way, can
make people feel much better that are living through tremendous
pain and problems. Forty states and multiple US territories have
(05:41):
already recognized the use of marijuana. This reclassification order will
make it far easier to conduct marijuana related medical research,
allowing us to study benefits, potential dangers, and future treatment
of a tremendously positive impact. I believe we're also asking
(06:02):
Congress to reconsider a classification of hemp derived CBD to
ensure seniors can access CBD products they have found beneficial
for pain and other reasons. Some people are literally dying
and dying with tremendous pain, and this can in many
cases literally stop it. And they have their senses about
(06:25):
them as opposed to painkillers which don't allow that don't
allow them to die with dignity. Frankly, I promise to
be the president of Common Sense and that is exactly
what we're doing. This is really something having to do
with common sense, and it's something having to do with
the fact that so many people that I respect ask
(06:46):
me to people that are having problems, big problems. They
are having big problems with illness, with cancer in particular.
I now want to ask doctor Oz to say a
few words, followed by doctor Braun, Dr Casser.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And I'm not gonna And if you want to see
doctor Oz, you can go find it on YouTube. I
know he's in the Trump administration, but I'm still I
can't stand to look at doctor Oz on television because
I remember when he used to go on Oprah. Do
you remember that. I remember being tuning in accidentally to
an Oprah and it was an episode where doctor Oz
(07:22):
was teaching Oprah and America, the women of America, what
your your when you go to the bathroom, what should
it look like? Which is disgusting. That kind of stuff
doesn't need to be on broadcast television ever under any circumstance.
But there's doctor Oz and he's there with Oprah and
(07:43):
they're describing what it should look like when you go
to the bathroom, and they're giggling about it because Oprah
just all she could tell this would be good ratings.
People were talking about going to the bathroom. So I'm
not a big fan of doctor Oz and that kind
of stuff. In fact, I've got more. I've got many
complaints about doctor Oz that I could share and may
share with you as the program moves forward. But what
(08:05):
he said about the some people deriving some benefit from this,
aside from the dope smokers that want to get high,
I want to get buzzed on their way out to
I don't know where they're headed, loose day. I don't
know where they go. I've known people that were suffering
from cancer, terminal cancer in their final days that that
(08:29):
was the only real relief they got was being able
to use the marijuana. So I'm not against the research
at all. If they can find something positive in there
that might help people that are suffering, then let's help
them suffering people. But we don't need to help necessarily
(08:54):
the guy that wants to, you know, burn one while
he's waiting for his delivery of Derito's to arrive. This
(09:22):
is the Uncle Henry Show on News Radio seven ten
WN ten. It's five twenty news headlines coming up in
ten minutes. If you'd like to call the show, you
can two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
That's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
In the first segment of this hour, I was explaining
to you the listener, the President Trump today. He did
(09:43):
not legalize dope smoking. He did not legalize recreational use
of marijuana. He just signed an executive order that's going
to make it easy. It's going to reschedule the drug
and make it easier for research to be done to
find if there's any good applications for it on a
medical way. He did not make it so that you
can get all loaded on it all the time and
(10:04):
right around as some type of doped up freak. Now,
President Trump, I played for you his remarks. Now, there
was he had a bunch of people talk at the meeting.
RFK talked at the meeting. Doctor Oz talked at the meeting.
I don't want to play any more of that, but
there was somebody that I want to play from the
(10:25):
meeting because I'm just call me an uneducated, dumb Southerner.
I'm sure you already do, but call me that because
I really love foreign accents. I do. I love foreign accents.
In fact, my favorite episodes of the Beverly Hillbillies were
when they went to London, so you could hear the
(10:47):
British accents. I just love foreign accents. And so up
in that Oval office, President Trump had some foreign lady
doctor up in there to talk about why this executive
order was a good idea. And just want to hear
what she has to say, because she's got a wonderful
foreign accent. Let's listen together to the marijuana doctor lady
(11:10):
talking about the executive boarder.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I'm not a Volkov, I'm directed National Institute.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
On Drug Abuse, and she's the international director of something for.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Us that riskelding opens the door to actually be able
to accelerate the rate at which we can do research
and discovery, and research is crushall in order for USTA,
for example.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Understand, I love the way she says almost every word crucihall,
it's all good, this is magnificent.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
What may be?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
And for whom the dangers of cannavis? Yes, gonna cannabis
avis can't be addictive.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And sir, wait, did you hear what she said? Dope
smoker out there on Airport Boulevard can't wait to get
home in time for wrestling to come on. She said,
it can be addictive. Remember this, it's not good to
be addicted.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Only people, adolescens and children may be the most vulnerable.
But we cannot close our eyes to research on the
opportunity that we are hearing from patients that for some
of them canabis Khan cannabis.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Look, I'm pausing her there to make this observation. Look,
as I mentioned to you previously moments ago, I love
foreign accents. I'm enjoying listening to her. I wish that
she would. I wish she could be on the show
every day, just like I wish I could. We could
hire her to do the news here. Wouldn't that be
great to have the news with all the words pronounced
all funny? But look, one of the signature, one of
(12:42):
the signature moves of President Trump is to control the
border and to get people to remigrate back to wherever
it is that they came from. And could we not
find could we not find a doctor to talk about
this from the United States of America? Could we could
(13:06):
we not find? Is there no native born doctor that
could have done this? This thing? Now I'm enjoying it.
I just said I'd like time listen to her do
the news every day. But could we not have? Is
there no American doctor that could have done this? Did
we have to bring in somebody from I don't even
know where she's from, some type of I'm going to
(13:28):
guess that the country ends with a lot of owls
or something. Could we could we have not find an
American doctor here.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Solve their problem?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
And so what we need to do is do research
number one to understand what are those conditions number two
in order to be able to optimally, learn how to
use optimally, and to.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Understand number three who is a danger? And it is
knowledge that will allow us to optimally benefit.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
OPTIMALI benefit take the benefits that may be behind Kanadis,
but on the other hand, also enabled us better to
do provincial interventions to protect those that are most vulnerable cannabis.
We want to OPTIMALI find the research for Kandi bus see.
That was fun. But where's the American doctor? I guess
(14:18):
doctor oz is considered American. But I've explained to you
I can't stand the guy just he was on Oprah
too much. There's too much of when you're on Oprah
too often. It's it's just not good. In fact, the
worst episode of Oprah of all time. I'll describe it
to you, even though you would wish to forget it.
(14:39):
Oprah in one of her in like the last year
of Oprah Doom, she decided to do this big episode
about reincarnation. She was just she just thought it was
the just she was a believer in this. She just
thought it was magnificent. And Doctor Oz was on her
(15:02):
show about reincarnation, and she had somebody else on there
and I can't remember who this person was. It was
some I'm gonna call him a con artist because that's
my personal opinion on the topic.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Personal opinion time, Personal opinion time, Person opinion time.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And the con artist was was the con artist had
regressed Doctor Oz to a previous life of doctor Oz,
and he was willing to go on over. I guess
being on national television is so intoxicating you just can't
turn down the opportunity, even if they say, hey, we're
gonna get you on TV and we're gonna regress you
(15:42):
back to a previous life or somethingy. He just wanted
to be on TV. Well, anyway, doctor Oz is there
on Oprah, and they have some con artist who's regressed
Doctor Oz back to a previous life. And Doctor Oz
the TV audience that he believes he had. He believes
(16:04):
that he had been an old woman. He could all
he could. He didn't know when or where. He just
felt that he had been an old woman in a cave.
That doctor Oz had been an old woman in a cave.
And then Oprah wanted to get the con artist to
(16:26):
have everybody in the audience that was there live in
her studio on its. She wanted them all to go
into kind of a hypnotic trance and be regressed just
like doctor Oz had been, so we could find out
that he was a lady in a cave. And Oprah
got angry because there was a couple of members of
(16:47):
the audience that did not want They didn't want to
participate in this. It might have been because it went
against their religion, or they had some type of self respect,
one of the two, maybe both. She got so mad,
Oprah and she said to them on camera, because I
was watching it in Alabama. Oprah said, just because you
(17:10):
don't believe in reincarson, reincarnation, doesn't mean you hadn't been anyway,
those are the That's why when I see doctor Oz
in the Oval office, just I just look. Send him,
make him ambassador to the past. That would be a
(17:33):
good job for him, Doctor Oz. We're gonna make you
ambassador to the cave people back from when you lived
in a cave. And we're gonna get the lady with
the accent to build a time machine. She will send
you back in time. Optmali DM Hey Uncle Henry LD.
(17:58):
Merry Christmas, everybody, why don't you play If you're gonna

(19:24):
before we started up that bumper music, there was a
LD the Mad Trucker asking for me to play some
zam Fear Christmas music. I did a few years ago.
I did play and it was really good. Zam Fear
has wonderful Christmas music. Look it up on YouTube. I'm sure,
I'm sure it's there somewhere and you really enjoy it.
But when I used it on the Unkle Henry Show,
(19:46):
I was doing video on Facebook and Facebook shut the
video down because of and it said that my video
was banned in Eastern euro because of the zam Fear music.
So I don't know there there must be some type
of music rights issue with Eastern Europe, Europe and zam Fear.
(20:09):
So I will not be playing zam Fear music on
the Uncle Henry Show at any time in the near future.

five one four seven nine two seven two three. Email
address Uncle Henry Dieheartmedia dot Com. Now, there is a
story that Fox ten did that I want to share
(20:30):
with you because I have some thoughts on this. I've
talked about this many times on the Unkle Lendar Show,
and I'm going to talk about it again. The Fox
ten crew did a report on how young Mayor Spiro
really wants to slow down the traffic on Water Street.
(20:55):
So let's let's listen together. I've got strong I've got
very strong opinion is on this. First, let's listen to
the content of the Showry Mobile's mayor wants to transform
the city's waterfront, but one big challenge Water Street.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah, the road connects to interstates, bringing high speed traffic
through downtown. Brendan Kirby is live now with the efforts
to slow that traffic.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Down and Brendan this is complicated.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yeah, it is, Cameron Lenise. The federal government has a
role to play here because Water Street connects two different
interstate highways.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
But Mayor Cherry.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Guide says that this road cuts off the rest of
downtown from one of the city's most precious assets, it's waterfront.
Millions of dollars are in development transforming that waterfront. There's
a new pedestrian plaza with statues of mobiles, hall of
Fame athletes, a new train stop, and major changes coming
to the Maritime Museum. The overhaul of Cooper Riverside Park
(21:52):
is nearing completion in the next several months, and private
developers plan to build River Walk Plaza complex with a
luxury hotel, condos, offices, and restaurants right on the Movile River.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Now, all of that is good, by the way, I
love the fact that Mobile's waterfront is getting all this investment,
you getting the private investors coming in there all try
and there's a lot of public money too, as well
as with all these parks in the in the Boondogle
Museum down there. But Water Street is a barrier.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
Fast moving traffic makes it difficult for people to walk
from downtown to the waterfront. City officials want to slow
that traffic down. In September, the council awarded a contract
of about eight hundred thousand dollars to study various options.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
And now listen to that eight hundred thousand dollars of
tax money just to study, not to do nothing, but
to study how can we slow down the traffic between
the two interstate roads. Think about that the government. The
government has built all the roads by the way, in essence,
(23:05):
we have we've the taxpayers. We built we built Tie ten,
we built the I one sixty five thing over there.
The water Street goes in between, and we built Bolt
water Street. We built all of this, and now we're
we're paying even more to figure out how to get
people to slow down on it because it's a barrier.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
The mayor recently met with Federal Highway Administration officials. They
want studies exploring whether those changes can be made safely,
and any changes must also consider the planned Interstate ten bridge.
The mayor says that he'll return with what he calls
modified asks for the water Street, projecting water Street more
(23:48):
pedestrian friendly.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
It's not a maybe, it's a must do for me.
If we're truly going to unlock our waterfront open us
up to more tourism dollars, making water stret estrian fendlay
corridor is a must do.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
When it comes to actually doing the work, Mary Terry
Gotta says that he intends to see grants to pay
for that project. Reporting Life from Downtown Brendan Kirby Box
ten News.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
All right, now I have to and I apologize if
I'm going over old, old material here with you, but
it just frustrates me. It just frustrates me every time
I hear him talk about this, them being any of
the people involved in decision making, because if you're old
enough to remember when they started building the I one
sixty five, they everybody that was building the I one
(24:41):
sixty five knew that there was going to be a
bunch of interstate traffic going down Waner Street. They knew it.
There was the point of it. So the original proposal
was to have have an elevated expressway that would be
(25:03):
above Water Street, that would have carried the traffic above
Water Street, which would have then this would not have
been an issue at all. Now, the reason we don't
have an elevated expressway is that both the business people
in downtown Mobile at the time and city fathers and
mothers were just, oh, they were so upset and worried.
(25:26):
They thought that if there was an elevated expressway that
none of that traffic. They wanted, the traffic they wanted
to see back then, downtown Mobile was not what it
is now. They wanted it. They wanted that traffic at
street level. They they said that they it was going
to kill downtown if they put an elevated express it
(25:48):
would destroy down to So we've got to have the
traffic at street level. It's got to be at street level.
So they changed all the plans and they made it
at street level. And then when the traffic was at
street level, then they started complaining again because they had
(26:08):
what they wanted. They wanted the traffic, and then when
they got the traffic, now they don't like the traffic.
And now we're gonna let's spend eight hundred grand to
figure out figure out what to do about this, well,
to slow it down dramatically, to make it safe so
(26:29):
that I can take so I can wheel. I can
wheel a great Grandma across Water Street with a bunch
of toddlers following behind. And we can have maybe some
some our pet dogs and some geese walking behind us.
We can walk, and we can stop in the middle
of books of Graandma wants to do a selfie or something.
(26:50):
It makes no sense to slow down that traffic because
it's right between the two interstates, doesn't make any sense. No,
as I've told you before, And if you're gonna spend
more money, build beautiful pedestrian bridges. Build build they like
the one they got over there in Foley. Build a
(27:12):
bunch of pedestrian bridges because the traffic. Don't you quit
slowing the traffic down. Why do we even have cars?
What's the point of a car? What? What are you
gonna make it? Horse and bicycle only? Come on, stop
trying to slow the traffic down. I bought a dad
(27:36):
gumb car and now you're telling me I can't drive it.
Build pedestrian bridges and leave the traffic alone. Uncle Henry

shown Who's radio seven to ten WNTM news headlines coming
up in ten minutes and then more Uncle Henry shown
Hello Collor Hey, Uncle Henry, Hey, you are live on
the radio.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Navcobill. How you doing.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
I'm doing good?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Nav Cobell. I hope all is well. Navco Way.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Yeah, yeah, not bad, not bad. Hey, you know about
that water street issue. I agree with you. You know,
pedestrian bridges would be the way to go. But if
they want to hasten the slowing down of the traffic,
I suggest putting in potholes, maybe every two hundred yards
or so, like they do in a lot of neglected roads.
(28:55):
You know, like in Midtowlen stuff. As a matter of fact,
they could take out some of that you know, concrete
and earth, you know, crush it up, go and fill
the other potholes and create the pothole on the water street.
And that would surely slow down the traffic. And no
eight hundred thousand dollars, Bill, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
That wouldn't that be nice if they could just think
out of the box like you do.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Yeah, if they just let it left it in neglect.
It might take a while. So they might need to
take a bobcat down there, the jackhammer attachment and create
a few you know, fissures and maybe little holes because ayk,
wheelers will turn the little holes into big holes in
no time.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Oh yes, and yes they will, yes they will.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
So But anyway, you know, and all the listeners and everybody,
all the callers, you know, Merry Christmas, have a happy
New Year. Talk to you later.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Thanks oncle Henry, Hey, thank you, and merry Christmas and
happy New Year to you too, Nabco Bill, and also
have a blessed Christmas Christmas. Two five one four seven
nine two seven two three. The telephone number that's two
five to one four seven nine two seven two three. Uh.
Speaking of Christmas, I saw that there is a new
(30:12):
Christmas decorating trend that many celebrities are pushing, and it's
on social media. It's called the naked Christmas tree trend. Now,
if you're a pervert, don't get excited by this because
it doesn't involve naked people or animals, so sorry. It's
(30:35):
about the tree being naked and the whole The trend
is to put a Christmas tree in your house, but
don't put no ornaments on it. Maybe just a few
soft white lights, but other than that, just or just
no lights at all, just have a tree all by itself.
The naked Christmas tree trend. Now, why are they doing this? Well,
(31:00):
let's see. They say that it saves money, that it
reduces clutter, and it works better for homes with lots
of kids or lots of pets. The naked Christmas tree.
All right, Well, look, if it's that much of a problem,
(31:20):
if having a full on Christmas tree like many of
us grew up with and continue to have, if it's
that much of a problem that, oh we can't have
it in here. It's clutter and it's costs, and well,
next year, instead of a naked Christmas tree, Why don't
you just put a picture up of a Christmas tree?
Why don't you do that instead of having just put
(31:42):
a tree in your house with nothing on it, Why
don't you just hang a picture of a Christmas tree?
Or maybe you all could just sit around around a
nifty space and remember what a Christmas tree looked like.
If it's that big of a problem, don't you just
why don't you just remember what a Christmas tree looked
(32:03):
at This just sounds so silly to me. The nicked Christmas.
We're gonna have a naked Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Now, Also speaking of Christmas, I saw that there's a
new trend that's allegedly being embraced by Generation Z called
micro giving. Now what is micro giving? Well, micro giving
(32:31):
is where you give somebody really inexpensive gifts, like maybe
some socks, or maybe a candle, or maybe some soap
or something. It's called they're calling it micro giving. Noy.
I hate to I hate to burst your bubble here,
(32:52):
Generation Z. But we had that back when I was
a kid. But we didn't call it micro giving. We
called it being broke. Yeah, we called it being poor.
We called it being broke. We called it being trying
(33:12):
to have a family of five on one person's income.
We didn't call we didn't call it micro given. We
called it, Hey, we're poor anyway. Everything Look, everything old
becomes new again. There's nothing new under the sun. All right,
(33:33):
out of time for this hour of Uncle Henry's Show.
But there's more to come. There's more stories I want
to get into. I saw that Fox ten did a
story about a lady on the Eastern Shore that turned
one hundred years old, and I loved those stories because
now whenever people turn a hundred or older than that,
(33:54):
the reporters always ask them, you know, what's your secret?
