Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Uncle Henry Show weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well that I go cruising through downtown plumbing the year.
I passed the church house here on Palafox Street and
it read there are on the on the marquee out front.
You know most of them now they've got a marquee
out front with some sort of perhaps saying their Bible verse.
And there was a statement on there that read there
(00:32):
are three hundred and sixty five fear nots in the Bible,
the same as how many days in the year.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Again, Uncle, I don't believe in coincidences. That was that
was intent, like many other things that come out of
the Good Books. Alard of that you forty days and
your forty nights, et cetera.

Show once again. Once again, it's just me and you here,
me and you trying to figure out what on earth
(02:37):
is going on in the world around us. I mean,
it just there's just so much sodom and gomorah stuff.
I just it's just you look around in the world
around you and you think, well, we finally arrived at
completing total depravity. And then another month, another year, another
decade goes by, and then you find out you were wrong.
(02:57):
There's another level. There's another the level of perversion under proven.
Just the world. It's so hard to make sense of
all the things going on, but we'll try. We'll try
to make sense of all the things going on in
the world, me and you together. Telephone number two five

but I've already got callers waiting to talk, So let
me look at let me see who is here on
the phone line. Hello Collor Wait, hello Coller.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Hell is this Johnny Quinn?
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Johnny went long time? No talk to Johnny Gwinn. What's
going on?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I've been busy. I've dipped my toes into the world
of AI and I've been working with the magnanimous Scott
Trendall and a very shady character named Drake Okay building
an AI a company. I've been doing that for a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Hey, by the way, uh, I wish you the very best.
You are on the cutting edge if you're launching an
AI company, so uh best to you. I would love
to hear more. Just I'd love to have you come
in and talk about AI one day.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
It is quite exciting and frightening at the same time. Yes,
it is, it really is, but it's it's it's a
brave new world out there. And Mark Cuban said that
in history there might be the first trillion dollar company
with a single owner and a single person, probably in
(04:54):
a basement, in the next decade.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Because of AI doing all the work right, one person
with an idea and a and they can be a
trillion dollar.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Company, correct right now? And I've had to come and
talk about quickly what we're working on at this myth
amedical products medical communication product. And we have figured out
our cost per doctor would be seventy five cents Okay, okay,
all right, right to run the service. So that's how
(05:22):
crazy you do?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, pretty many? Yeah, but it's been exciting. But I apologize.
I've been listening. I just haven't been able to engage
with you and your wonderful audience.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Well, what's on your mind? What's got you calling in today?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Have you seen the bitcoin price today?
Speaker 7 (05:40):
No, I've been very busy running around talking to to
business owners and stuff. What happened with bitcoin?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
One hundred and sixteen thousand, four hundred and forty dollars
as of right now it is, it's four thousand dollars
over its all time high?
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Okay, today it went ballistic. I think there's a lot
of things working in the there's a lot more institutional
people looking at bitcoin. It's not just retail. I mean
Wall Street is really biting into this. Nation States are
biting into it. It's exactly what a lot of people
have said about what's called supply shock, the idea of
(06:21):
want a nation and a major company figure out we
need to get in on this. There won't be enough
available to buy for the price will explode and you're
not Again, I will say this, you can buy fractional
ownership of a bitcoin. I thought to someone recently. They
didn't understand you can buy one satoshi, which is one
one millions of a bitcoin. You can, but that's how
(06:44):
it's called stats built upon. But the idea is you
can buy fractional ownership. And I would say people, if
you're out there and you're you're diversifying your portfolio, this
is not financial advice. It's just kind of what I
think is common sense. Uh, you probably should look at
ahead and start buying bitcoin as a you know, percentage
of what you do to hedge against your you know,
(07:06):
for the future. But pretty fascinating to watch that. I mean,
we've talked about it for how many years, uncle Henry
bitcoin and it's.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Probably ten years. I mean, we we did a show
about it at Mobile Bay Coins. You brought in a
friend of yours and we were all down down there
doing a live show talking about bigcoin. That's where I
infamously turned down the opportunity to get some bit coin.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I did it too, when it was two hundred dollars
a coin. Yes, but I think a lot of us did.
But I think it's it's gonna be one of the
biggest assets in the world. It's getting that way now.
But uh, and there's also crazy stuff in the world too.
I just want to say that it will be wonderful
to see Brennan from the CIA possibly either just get
(07:52):
embarrassed or maybe getting a little trouble. But I don't
know if they feel embarrassment, but I would say that
guy from the CIA, Brennan has than a jackal for
many many years. And his lie to the people that
you know, he didn't He said that they can spy
on us, and they got caught spying. They got called
the rush Rush rash and stuff. I just it would
be nice to see a little bit of come up
(08:14):
on some of these uh you know, embedded just spooks. Yes, indeed,
would like to see someone get that come up.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
And I agree with that. I have no confidence that
that will ever happen, but I would like to see it.
Johnny Gwinn, All right, thank you, Johnny Gwinn of Deep
Fried Studios dot Com. I have more callers waiting to talk. Callers,

Uncle Henry Show. News Radio seven ten w n TM.
It's five twenty news headlines coming up from Box ten's camera,
Ring Taylor and also Fox Radio National News. Telephone number
here two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
That's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
I've got some people waiting to talk. Let me get
(09:37):
back to the phones.
Speaker 10 (09:38):
Hello, Color, Hey, good to you. Knock and Cliff.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Cliff, you are live on the Radioy Henry.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Yes, you know you know some things that are evil
and perverse. Yes, I was, uh, I was digging around
and I was looking at haw Kim Jeffrey the other
day and he fell a busted, you know, like he
did something for seven hours. Yeah, some of these democrats
are still in office. I bet you can find one.
You remember the Browns, the Board of Education versus Brown Yeah,
(10:10):
nineteen fifty four, yes to sixty five. It ended that's
a Democrat. That man filibustered for seventy days.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Seventy days, seventy days? How do you do that?
Speaker 10 (10:28):
So what he did? But I can tell you they
did not want that Jim Crow law. They wanted to
keep it. And that man talked for seventy days. That's
a record for the Democrats. But they did one always
hollering about systemic racism. If a person don't hate you,
how can he talk for seventy days.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
I have no idea these people.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Are still in office, the same people as fooling kids
and grown folks come a trance if you look up
trans in mean to deceive. That's why these kids they
weren't about the ones that get murdered. You marry him
and then finally find out that this ain't a woman,
It was a man. You don't tell him. What do
(11:12):
you think he gonna do?
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Oh, that would be that would be quite quite an argument.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
And so they still using that. That's a political issue too.
But maiming that's evil. Maiming kids and fool and grown folks,
that's a spirit that's doing that. So you ain't seen
nothing yet.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Uh Oh, I'm sure, And I hate to feel that way,
but the past teaches us that we ain't seen nothing yet.
Speaker 10 (11:41):
A man, you don't bliss day.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
You too, Cliff, Thank you very much for your phone
call and the you know you. I can remember twenty
thirty years ago looking at the youth coming up and thinking, hmm,
I wonder if they're going to be all right. I
wonder if that generation is going to be all right.
(12:03):
And it just it just seems to we just seemed
to be moving in one direction in terms of the
way things are going. And that direction would be Sodom
and Gomorah two five to one, four seven nine three.
The telephone number, Hello Color, Hello, Hello, you are live
on the radio.
Speaker 11 (12:23):
Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Man?
Speaker 11 (12:24):
This is a little subject from Cliff's little dissertation there, yes, sir,
but I'm sure you remember.
Speaker 12 (12:33):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (12:33):
One of the first I believe was a bitcoin transactionist
was a guy.
Speaker 10 (12:40):
That bought a pizza.
Speaker 11 (12:42):
It was somewhere up north and this was probably ten
fifteen years ago, and it was like seventy thousand dollars
that he spent for this diggum pizza. But my brother,
he was real big about that where bitcoin first came out,
like you got to get on this and it was
like fifty dollars, and I was like, boy, what the
(13:04):
hell is that?
Speaker 10 (13:05):
I don't know what that is? And then.
Speaker 11 (13:08):
So I'm eating crow now.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Well me too, Me too. I was offered the opportunity
to get some bitcoin years ago, and I just thought this.
I was like you, I thought this is just a passing, silly,
maybe even a scam or a rip off. There's no
way this will ever be the future. And of course
now now I'm wondering, will they let us keep using
our regular currency?
Speaker 11 (13:31):
Yeah, they're already gonna take away our pennies.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Yeah. Well, hey, what about your brother? Is he wealthy?
Can he can he slip of some cash?
Speaker 10 (13:41):
No?
Speaker 11 (13:42):
No, no, he gave me, but he gave me the advice.
He didn't take it himself either.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Oh no, that is now he's got to feel like
a bigger.
Speaker 11 (13:53):
He should feel he should be a bigger donkey than me.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Exactly. Sure, Well, thank you for thank you for telling
me I'm not the only one that passed up on
what has turned out to be one of the better investments.
Speaker 10 (14:06):
Like I say, the first time I ever said it
was like.
Speaker 11 (14:09):
Sending five eight books, and now it's like what almost
two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Yeah, and now you and I can buy what Johnny
Gwynn said, what like a millionth of a big coin?
Speaker 11 (14:20):
Yes, we get a little fractions.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Yeah, all right, Well, hey, thank you for telling me
that story. Yes, sir, have a wonderful day. Whoever you
might be two five one four seven nine two two
three the telephone number here on the on Cleander show. Yeah.
I did a show back at Mobile Bay Coins and
Fine Jewelry with Angelo. It was back when I was
(14:44):
doing mornings here on this station. Johnny Gwynn was there
and he brought in a friend of his that was
a really brainy guy that was an ex I can't
remember the guy's name. I think I think his first
name was Michael, but I'm not sure. And the guy
that was such an expert on bitcoin eight years ago,
(15:06):
ten years ago, however long ago, that was the guy
was so odd. No offense to him, because I ended
up getting to socialize with him a few years later,
and he continued to be odd, but not in a
bad way, just a little different, a little eccentric, which
(15:26):
can be good. But when I first met him, I thought,
I don't know, this guy's a little he's eccentric enough
that maybe I don't want any kind of monetary dealings
with a guy. Well, of course, now I wished I had.
I wished I had followed his advice gotten some bitcoin,
and then I would be I would be probably on
(15:48):
a front porch right now, listening to somebody else host
this show while I sipped on very expensive sweet iced tea. Now,
before before I go to break, we do have a
break coming up with news headlines from Fox ten and
Fox Radio National News this weekend, I want to invite
you down to the wharf in Orange Beach. I'm gonna

really do make a shout out of it. They do
such a great job with the way in. They have

Trying to figure out you and me together, trying to
figure out what is going on in the world around us?
(18:50):
What is going on in the world around us? Now,
there was a story over the past few days. Fox
ten had it last night where somebody in Graham Bay
is stealing flags from a church. Now, first of all,
stealing from a church, I mean, and then stealing a flag?
(19:14):
What what kind of a what kind of sickness is it?
What kind of demon is in this person? There seems
to be compound sinning going on, different layers of sin
and perversion on this person. Let's listen. This is brief.
I've got the story from Shelby Myers of Fox ten.
She went down to Grand Bay, and I'm jealous that
(19:35):
I didn't get to go because I love that part
of the county. Shelby Myers and Grand Bay talking to
the people that had their flags, American flags getting stolen
from a church. These people, it's almost like somebody begging
to be hit by lightning.
Speaker 13 (19:52):
Isn't it?
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Doesn't it sound like somebody that is trying desperately to
get hit by a lightning bolt from the lowered and
that they're trying to figure out, what can I do.
Let's go rob a church and then taking American flag right,
let's listen together.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
We've been doing it at least ten years, maybe a
little longer.
Speaker 14 (20:15):
It's a beloved tradition in Grand Bay.
Speaker 15 (20:17):
That's kind of what we're known for.
Speaker 14 (20:19):
You can't miss them driving in.
Speaker 15 (20:21):
If it's July fourth and people drive through here and
they don't see those flags, then.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
By the way, that is how I say July. I
don't say July. It's July.
Speaker 15 (20:30):
I'm not sure they're in Grand Bay.
Speaker 14 (20:32):
Close to one hundred and fifty American flags lying the
front and side of Grand Bay Baptist Church. About a
dozen congregants write a veteran's name on a ribbon, tie
it to each flag, and put them up before the
fourth of July.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
We have the holes here and there's placed every five feet.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
We have them a pourt in the ground so we
don't have to dig holes every year.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
We just uncover them and let's put the flags in.
Speaker 14 (20:58):
Now the flags have been put away in stories for
the year.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Replace the flags each year when they're damaged or something.
Speaker 14 (21:05):
Or other, But next year there'll be a few flags short.
Speaker 15 (21:09):
The folks in our church who put them out and
really kind of sponsor that. They came up one day
and noticed I think four were missing.
Speaker 14 (21:18):
Pastor Charles Miller says, someone stole them. The church quietly
replaced those four.
Speaker 15 (21:24):
Then a few days later we had three missing, except
this time instead of taking the whole pole, they cut
them off. We attach them with zip ties, and so
they'd cut the flags off and taken them.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Pastor, Hey, what are you gonna do. Let's just again,
let's say it's not a person that is trying to
get hit by lightning, which is what it sounds like.
It's like somebody trying to try to do different layerings
of sins. What would be the motive for stealing an
American flag from a church? Would it be political? Would
(22:00):
it be that you hate the country and religion and
you're just trying to be mean to them? Or is
there a market? Is there some type of market for
stolen flags? Is that? Where would you fence a stolen
American flag?
Speaker 14 (22:18):
Biller says, they just want the flags returned, no questions asked.
Speaker 15 (22:23):
We don't know the motives, you know, We're not looking
to send anybody to jail for a flag or anything
like that. We just want to keep honoring people the
way that we have been. We just would have liked
the flags back, and especially especially the ribbons that have
the names of those who have served.
Speaker 12 (22:42):
Olfaser Miller says the flags can simply be dropped back
off at the church and if the person who took
them needs a meal or anything, they would love to
lend a helping hand, saying they've already chosen to forgive
whoever did it.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
Now, see there's your And they said they chose to forgive. Well,
I don't know what. I don't know. If somebody asks
to be forgiven and they repent, I think we're supposed to.
I think I don't know that we have a choice
as long as the person is repenting. If you're a Christian,
I don't know that you have a choice. I think
you have to. I think Jesus said some stuff about
(23:15):
this you may remember. So there at least they're setting
an example of saying, hey, we've already forgiven them. Just
bring the flags back, and if you need a bite
to eat, we'll give you some deed. Nice examples sit
by the church. But what is this world? What's the
world coming to? What is the world coming to? Somebody
would take that chance? Did they just did they just
(23:40):
want to have a bunch of flags? Did they feel
like they needed to decorate for the fourth and they
didn't have enough money to go get their own flag?
And they looked at the church and there was one
hundred and something flags over there, and they thought, well,
they won't miss, you won't miss just a few of these,
and these would look really nice. These would really look
(24:04):
nice in our yard. Maybe we can hang one in
each window or something. Who knows, but forgive, forgiving and
wanting to help them out. I hope that there. I
hope there is resolution to this. It would be just
for my curiosity's sake. I would love to find out
what on earth would be the motive for a flag thief.
(24:25):
I doubt it is somebody that has got so much
patriotism just boiling up inside of them. They're just swelling,
just swelling with patriotism, and they just can't take it.
They've just got to express it, and they just had
to have more flags to want to wrap themselves in flags.
It's probably not that I don't probably not who knows.
(24:49):
You never know. Two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. The telephone number that's two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Let's see before I go
to break, there was one thing I saw. We've been
a lot of us have been thinking about the Epstein
case this week with the absolutely unbelievable memo from the
(25:13):
Department of Justice saying that there's nothing there. The investigation
is pretty much done. Alan Dershowitz, have you seen the
clip Alan Dershowitz went on the Sean Spicer Show. He
says that, yes, there's a list, and he's read it.
(25:34):
If you hadn't heard this real quick, here is the
infamous attorney, Alan Dershowitz talking about how, yes there is
a list, that he's not on it, but he's read
it and he knows who's on it.
Speaker 16 (25:46):
This is not an opinion, this is a fact I
have seen. Remember, I was accused falsely and the and
ultimately I was completely cleared. The woman admitted that she
may have mistook me for somebody else and withdrew all
of her lawsuits. And so from day one, from the
day I was accused. I said, I want every document
out because I knew every document would prove I was innocent.
So let me tell you. I know for a fact
(26:08):
documents are being suppressed, and they're being suppressed to protect individuals.
I know the names of the individuals. I know why
they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them. But I'm
bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I
can't disclose what I know. But I pant to God.
I know I know the names of people whose files
(26:30):
are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that's wrong,
just out of cryo out there.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
So do we No? I don't know if can I
believe this guy? I don't know. I have no idea.
I have no idea if I can believe Alan Dershwoodz
or not. But what would his motive be for saying this?
Unless he wants to write a book about it or something,
what would his motive be? Does is he? I'm trying
to think of what would be the motive for line
(26:58):
about it? Usually, and there's no way to read minds.
And since we can't read minds, I guess money should
always be you're you're you should always start with the
money motive. Maybe that would be a motive just to
try and get interest in him so I can write
some big, best selling book about it. But he says
(27:18):
he's seen it, and he also went on to say
in the clip that it's politicians, business people, anything on
the list. All right, back with more Uncle Henry's Show

would start as low as fifteen bucks. And I got
a call from Buford about this about the fares on
the am track Marty Grod drunk trains.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Different.
Speaker 13 (30:05):
Henry Song on the on the news outlets that the
too chew train from Mobile to New Orleans will cost
only like fifteen dollars.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Yeah, yeah, Henry.
Speaker 13 (30:25):
That that train ride is going to be an absolute
poop show.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Sorry to use the vulgarity, Henry.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
Another way to say it. That is going to be
an absolute disaster. Can you imagine, Henry, they need to
raise them prices for the too cheo train. It needs
to be at least one hundred dollars a dickeys. What
I mean, Henry?
Speaker 7 (30:56):
What now?
Speaker 13 (30:57):
I mean? They are going to tear that train slash up.
There's gonna be fights, There's gonna be all kinds of dramas, all.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Right, now what now? Come on? Now, beford the the
idea this is run by the federal government. The idea
that the federal government would have some type of uh disaster,
as you're you're implying, I cannot imagine a government run
train with problems, can you? It's hard to be but uh,
people that were buying tickets kept telling me that they
(31:27):
never could find one that low because demand has a
lot to do with the tickets. So I let's let's
hope your prediction is incorrect and that people are gonna
be very nice. They're gonna be well mannered on the train.
It's government, The government's running the train.
Speaker 13 (31:47):
There's gonna be an untold amount of issues. I'm sure
they'll probably be a couple of shootings on that youtu train.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Now, come on, it's no but I I doubt that.
I doubt that will happen.
Speaker 13 (32:02):
Price is way too low. You have to things like that.
You have to set your price point to wear you out.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Right, Look the price point they in New Orleans.
Speaker 13 (32:17):
That is going to be a drunken fest of a
train ride. I do hope though, that they put up
vidio cameras all throughout that train and have a YouTube
channel so we can safely watch the chaos at home. Anyway, Henry,
just my thoughts. You have a good day.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
I hope you're wrong. I hope you're wrong. I didn't
I never had that reaction. I never thought that it
would get banned on it. I mean, it's government run.
We all know the government does such an especially the
federal government. They just do such an outstanding job with transportation,
don't they, and all these things. But I hope you're wrong.
(33:03):
But if somebody had to be let off the train,
there are four stomps in Mississippi, so maybe they'll have
maybe they could have little uh little paddy wagons at
each at each train stop, just for that, just in
case if it ever happens. But I don't think. I
cannot imagine it happening the way that you have described you,
(33:27):
but we'll all find out. As Fred Richardson would say,
time holds the answer to everything, and time will all know.
Maybe the ticket, maybe you could make the ticket ten
(33:47):
dollars but charge thirty dollars for a beer. Maybe that
would solve that issue, if it ever became an issue.
(34:19):
This says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. I appreciate very much you listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. Now, in this half hour of show,
I'm gonna go over some news items that I missed
you may have missed them as well. And I'm also
(34:42):
gonna mess around a little bit. Probably whatever I might
I don't know. I'll check the grocery list. There's a
lot of things I can do. First, let me start
with a story out of Baldwin County, Alabama. This caught
my eye because the Uncle Henry Show for many years
has had a correspondent reporting to us from Baldwin County,
(35:04):
calling in from West Locksley, Alabama, sixty eight year old Chris.
I've heard a lot of a lot of Locksley phone
calls through the years thanks to Chris. I feel very
connected to the Locksley community because of Chris's calls, and
I was pleased to see Locksley on Fox ten. They
have this story. I don't know if you missed it.
(35:25):
I missed it, so I want to learn about this.
There's a German stainless steel manufacture. This is going to
set up a base in Locksley, Alabama. Will they be
close to Chris or not? Well, let's find out. Let's
listen as Fox ten tells us about the German stainless
steel manufacture coming to Locksley.
Speaker 17 (35:47):
A huge announcement. This is in Baldwin County, Global stainless
steel manufacturer building. It's for a US production facility here.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
And Rooting Global will invest more than sixty million dollars
and bring one new jobs to Baldwin County.
Speaker 14 (36:01):
How about that?
Speaker 17 (36:02):
Our house Shrek was at that announcement at Stillwood Country
Club and Locksley and has the information for you.
Speaker 18 (36:11):
It was a day to celebrated. Locksley is another company
announced a multimillion dollar investment in the community. German based
Bututing Global.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Is a butting. It's pronounced butting. Now it's spelled butting,
but please do not pronounce it butting. That's accent just
doesn't sound good. Butting. Remember this for all future pronunciations.
Speaker 18 (36:32):
Seventh generation, family run business, which began in the late
seventeen hundreds handcrafting copper. Much has changed over the centuries.
Stainless steel is now the focus and clad piping is
a major part of the product line. Locksley will be
home to Butting's first US based manufacturing site. And that's
what we'll be produced here.
Speaker 19 (36:51):
As we built sports of out of it for the
transferre we.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
Go with another great accent, another great accent. We got
to sound like a German. I don't know if it's
a Butting member of the Butting family or just your
random German. I guess it's German anyway, A wonderful the deck.
A couple of days ago we had the wonderful Scottish accent.
(37:16):
I think it was. Now we're getting the German. Let's
listen to the Butting guy talking with I don't even
know if I can understand this.
Speaker 18 (37:23):
That's what we'll be produced here.
Speaker 19 (37:25):
We built spools out of it for the transfer of
liquefied gases, which is a pipe and pipe system. Cryogenic
applications for semiconduct for space acts for cfs coming with
fusion reactors, so we had already a lot of partners
in the US that we want to serve locally now
with our production here.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
I love this. I love this. I remember when I
remember years ago when Mobile County was trying to decide
if they wanted to have the Phenale Kimmi plant get built.
Do you remember that? And I remember they were from
Germany and they they they gathered the local media. They
(38:10):
even did a trip where they took some media and
local officials owe over to Germany to tour their plants
to show how safe it was to build a chemical
plant like Phenol Chimmy in Mobile County. I remember the
news reports because there was a local reporter. I will
(38:30):
not name the reporter, but the reporter went over on
that trip. He got a he got a paid for
a trip to Germany, and in his reporting he was
doing reporting like it's so peaceful here. I remember this vividly.
He reported, it's so peaceful here at the chemical plant
in Germany. I see a bird building its nest right
(38:52):
here on this big chemical this vat of chemicals. Yes,
that was the kind of reporting we got. Anyway, I
remember the accents, and I remember one guy kept calling
Ron Reems the lovable. Ron Reems kept calling him Ronnie
instead of ron The only person that I've ever known
called ron Rings Ronnie was a German from Penal Kimmy
(39:17):
all right back to Butting in the Germans of Butting.
Speaker 18 (39:21):
Beauty's economic investment in Baldwin County will bring one hundred
new jobs with it. It's just the latest international company
to put its faith in Baldwin County in the workforce. Here,
Head of Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance, Lee Lawson, says
he's not surprised. Baldwin County and the Locksley area in
particular have several key components these companies look for.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
The Locksley area in particular.
Speaker 20 (39:45):
We've got a great sell We've got property that's been
prepared and ready. We sit in a great location logistics wise.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
We have a lot by the way, Locksley. Congratulations on
your logistics. I've always thought that. In fact, if you're
a longtime listener, I don't know if any are left,
but if you're a longtime listener, you'll remember that I
did advocate for several years that an international airport be
built in Locksley. Yes, I think Locksley would have been
the perfect location for an international airport, And of course
(40:17):
my suggestions are not I guess I'm not educated enough
to make a good suggestion.
Speaker 20 (40:21):
A lot of assets around us, including the port and
others other manufacturers. They're going to help bolster this manufacturer.
And so we have this ecosystem that we have built
and are building on top of that can be Locksley.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Ecosystem continues to.
Speaker 20 (40:36):
Produce momentum and success for us.
Speaker 18 (40:38):
With this announcement, while we County continues to position itself
as one of the state's top manufacturing hubs. Bauting products
manufactured here will be shipped across the world, primarily to
use at high tech applications.
Speaker 19 (40:51):
For example, in nice project.
Speaker 7 (40:53):
Here we go with the accent.
Speaker 19 (40:55):
Well we participate at the moment is the CFS fusion
reactor coming with fusion systems up in Boston.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
Therefore, this is I'm having flashbacks to Hogan's heroes listening
to this.
Speaker 19 (41:07):
We supplied a lot of uh uh recuumans related pipes, pipes,
pools for the cooling of the reactor.
Speaker 7 (41:14):
Cooling.
Speaker 19 (41:15):
We supply as well pipes for SpaceX H for the
for the starships.
Speaker 18 (41:20):
Muting is just the latest of nearly a dozen companies
who employ one hundred or more to have settled.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
In fauld Hey. That guy was drinking a beer in.
Speaker 18 (41:27):
County in the last five years reporting in Locksley House
Share Foxton.
Speaker 17 (41:31):
News, and the groundbreaking for that is said for the fall,
some initial hiring already going on, with the first coming
on for the first half of the year. The company
says the pay scale will be in the sixth figure.
Speaker 7 (41:44):
Right, all right, six figure I like that. That sounds night.
All right, well, I'm glad that. Congratulations to Locksley. You
have a lot to celebrate. Your logistics we learned are perfect.
You've got an ecosystem that is there's something good about that.
I guess you got Germans coming in there with beer
and they're they're gonna have fusion fusion reactor pipes. They're
(42:07):
gonna be making their It's just isn't that wonderful? There
you are in Locksley, Alabama. Sixty eight year old Chris,
congratulations on all of that. Maybe the maybe sixty eight
year old Chris's daughter, Sirita will one day work, who knows,
maybe she'll work one day at butting as a pipe person.
(42:30):
All right, Gonna take a time out for trafficing weather
and words from the wonderful sponsors of the Uncle Henry Show.
And then back with more Uncle Henry's Show here on
News Radio seventy ten w nt M, and don't forget
this show available as a podcast at NewsRadio seventy ten
dot com or on the iHeartRadio app. Take the Dadgum break,
(43:06):
it says, the Uncle Henry's Show on News Radio seven
to ten WNTM. News headlines coming your way in ten minutes.
Before we get to the news headlines, there's another story
I want to learn about. Now, this is not local,
this is out of Greenville, Alabama. Turns out there is
(43:28):
a TV show, a new TV show is going to
launch about people losing weight. And I do remember watching
The Biggest Loser years ago, and now I wasn't a
religious viewer where I watched it a lot. I maybe
saw three or four episodes of the Biggest Loser. This
(43:49):
is another weight loss TV show that's supposed to be
coming out soon, and they've been in Greenville. They're trying
to recruit people in Alabama to lose weight on the
TV show. And it makes sense, unfortunately, for this TV
show to come to Alabama because we're one of the
top states for overbeesity, not just overweight and obese, but
(44:11):
overbesity unfortunately. And they I guess if I were making
a TV show about people wanted to lose weight, I'd
go to Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi. No offense to all of
us here, but we have really good food. We have
really good food down here, and we also have poor
(44:32):
We have poor impulse control apparently when it comes to
the food. So let's learn together. What kind of TV
show are they going to try to make in Greenville, Alabama?
Speaker 14 (44:43):
Put Greenville in the spotlight. The goal is for contestants too.
Speaker 7 (44:47):
This is from w SFATV, stepsister station to Fox ten.
Speaker 17 (44:52):
Lose weight and get out of their conference zone.
Speaker 21 (44:55):
Greenville could be the pilot city for this new series
as call is on right now through the rest of
the week and it's open to anyone in Butler County.
Reporter Simon Schusler has details.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
According to the CDC, Alabama has the fifth highest obesity
rate in the nation.
Speaker 7 (45:15):
Now the video. I'm sorry we can't show the video
because this is radio and we still haven't figured out
how to put pictures with the audio. We're working on that,
but I just want you to know the video right now,
this guy's talking about Alabama's got a lot of fat
people in it. They're showing video of people of larger carriage,
(45:37):
very large carriage, from the neck down. So nobody's head
is ever in these pictures. It's always people from the
neck down. I wondered what it would be like if
you ever recognized yourself on TV from the neck down?
Wouldn't that be embarrassing to see that you're part of
file footage? Anytime they want to do a news story
(46:00):
about overbeast people and they show you from the neck down,
that would not That would be a maybe motivation to
drop a few. But anyway, back to the story.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Highest obesity rate in the nation, a new TV show
could help reshape that figure, but producers need more people
to sign up to make it a reality.
Speaker 22 (46:18):
If you remember the show The Biggest Loser, we have
a new show coming to town that we're looking for
over one hundred people, so it's like a town weight loss.
Speaker 17 (46:27):
Community weight loss challenge here in Greenville.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
The show would be filmed in Greenville, but any Butler
County resident can apply. Producers gave us a hint of
what it would look like.
Speaker 22 (46:37):
Isn't that work that you.
Speaker 7 (46:38):
Know a network.
Speaker 22 (46:39):
I know, all right, there'll be celebrity trainers that you
know you've seen.
Speaker 7 (46:43):
And celebrity trainers that I know and I've seen. Right now,
I guess I'm feeling really ignorant. I don't know that
I know any Jack Llane. I know Jack Llane and
Richard Simmons, and they're both no longer on the planet.
They're not on the planet anymore. Jacque Olaine and Richard Simmons.
I guess I need to get with the program and
(47:04):
find out who is a modern celebrity trainer.
Speaker 22 (47:08):
They'll be celebrity trainers that you know you've seen and
celebrity nutritionists.
Speaker 8 (47:11):
So when the show comes celebrity nutritionist, what is a
celebrity I'm trying to think who would be a celebrity nutritionist.
Speaker 7 (47:24):
Let's see, would would you consider Anita Bryant, because hey,
she was always talking about orange juice and that has
vitamin C in it. Who is a celebrity nutritionist.
Speaker 22 (47:36):
There'll be celebrity trainers that you know you've seen and
celebrity nutritionists. So when the show comes here, you'll be.
Speaker 14 (47:41):
Like, oh my gosh, I know that person.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Greenville Mayor Dexter.
Speaker 7 (47:45):
Sorry, I'm sorry because I would not know that person.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
McClinton was initially skeptical when approached with the idea, but
that skepticism has now turned into optimism.
Speaker 6 (47:56):
But when they first called, I said, they're probably gonna
make this red epes look a little weird or something
down here.
Speaker 18 (48:01):
But that's all.
Speaker 6 (48:02):
Then when I got to meet him and got the
producer to come and all that, it was just I mean,
it was obvious to me this is something we wanted
to do, so we embraced it. We brought them in
and we're gonna make Grangam look great and we're gonna
lose some weight.
Speaker 14 (48:15):
Elizabeth.
Speaker 7 (48:15):
I'm sure the celebrity nutritionists really pushed him over there
and really sold it to him.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Phil is one of the many applicants so far.
Speaker 17 (48:23):
I got my encourager here, my daughter, we are going
to this journey together.
Speaker 19 (48:29):
Is pushing me way.
Speaker 17 (48:30):
Out of my comfort zone, way way out of it.
Speaker 6 (48:33):
So but I'm looking forward to the adventure.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
Crews expect to return in the fall to film if
Greenville is selected as the show's pilot city. Simon Schusler
WSFA twelve News Greenville.
Speaker 21 (48:45):
Now, if you have enough courage to do.
Speaker 7 (48:47):
It all right. Well, I'm I would be This is
something I would because it's set in Alabama, in Alabama,
and I do have a familiarity with Alabama, having lived
here all my life. I would probably want to watch
at least an episode of this show just to see
how how is Alabama portrayed, because you heard the mayor there.
(49:07):
He was worried that they were gonna make him look
like a bunch of weird rednecks or something. But now
he's optimistic because you know they got celebrity nutritionness. So
I'm gonna have to I'm gonna if it actually happens,
I'm gonna have to watch it and see, just just
find out how Alabama is treated by the program, and
are people actually helped or are they are they giving
(49:29):
any kind of help that is practical on the show. Well,
as Fred Richardson say, would say, Tom holds the answer
to everything and time we'll all know all right out
of time. Thank you for listening. As they say in
sarah Land, have a good one. And as they say
in Theodore, take it easy all right. Later
The Uncle Henry Show weekday afternoons from five till seven.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well that I go cruising through downtown plumbing the year.
I passed the church house here on Palafox Street and
it read there are on the on the marquee out front.
You know most of them now they've got a marquee
out front with some sort of perhaps saying their Bible verse.
And there was a statement on there that read there
(00:32):
are three hundred and sixty five fear nots in the Bible,
the same as how many days in the year.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Again, Uncle, I don't believe in coincidences. That was that
was intent, like many other things that come out of
the Good Books. Alard of that you forty days and
your forty nights, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
IM not sure that.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Will you.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Press four for the previous message deleted.
Speaker 6 (01:16):

(02:17):
Maybe you also enjoy receiving a paycheck, so thank you
for providing that paycheck and listening to the Uncle Henry
Show once again. Once again, it's just me and you here,
me and you trying to figure out what on earth
(02:37):
is going on in the world around us. I mean,
it just there's just so much sodom and gomorah stuff.
I just it's just you look around in the world
around you and you think, well, we finally arrived at
completing total depravity. And then another month, another year, another
decade goes by, and then you find out you were wrong.
(02:57):
There's another level. There's another the level of perversion under proven.
Just the world. It's so hard to make sense of
all the things going on, but we'll try. We'll try
to make sense of all the things going on in
the world, me and you together. Telephone number two five

number of things to get into, of course on the program,
(03:39):
but I've already got callers waiting to talk, So let
me look at let me see who is here on
the phone line. Hello Collor Wait, hello Coller.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Hell is this Johnny Quinn?
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Johnny went long time? No talk to Johnny Gwinn. What's
going on?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I've been busy. I've dipped my toes into the world
of AI and I've been working with the magnanimous Scott
Trendall and a very shady character named Drake Okay building
an AI a company. I've been doing that for a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Hey, by the way, uh, I wish you the very best.
You are on the cutting edge if you're launching an
AI company, so uh best to you. I would love
to hear more. Just I'd love to have you come
in and talk about AI one day.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
It is quite exciting and frightening at the same time. Yes,
it is, it really is, but it's it's it's a
brave new world out there. And Mark Cuban said that
in history there might be the first trillion dollar company
with a single owner and a single person, probably in
(04:54):
a basement, in the next decade.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Because of AI doing all the work right, one person
with an idea and a and they can be a
trillion dollar.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Company, correct right now? And I've had to come and
talk about quickly what we're working on at this myth
amedical products medical communication product. And we have figured out
our cost per doctor would be seventy five cents Okay, okay,
all right, right to run the service. So that's how
(05:22):
crazy you do?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, pretty many? Yeah, but it's been exciting. But I apologize.
I've been listening. I just haven't been able to engage
with you and your wonderful audience.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Well, what's on your mind? What's got you calling in today?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Have you seen the bitcoin price today?
Speaker 7 (05:40):
No, I've been very busy running around talking to to
business owners and stuff. What happened with bitcoin?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
One hundred and sixteen thousand, four hundred and forty dollars
as of right now it is, it's four thousand dollars
over its all time high?
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Okay, today it went ballistic. I think there's a lot
of things working in the there's a lot more institutional
people looking at bitcoin. It's not just retail. I mean
Wall Street is really biting into this. Nation States are
biting into it. It's exactly what a lot of people
have said about what's called supply shock, the idea of
(06:21):
want a nation and a major company figure out we
need to get in on this. There won't be enough
available to buy for the price will explode and you're
not Again, I will say this, you can buy fractional
ownership of a bitcoin. I thought to someone recently. They
didn't understand you can buy one satoshi, which is one
one millions of a bitcoin. You can, but that's how
(06:44):
it's called stats built upon. But the idea is you
can buy fractional ownership. And I would say people, if
you're out there and you're you're diversifying your portfolio, this
is not financial advice. It's just kind of what I
think is common sense. Uh, you probably should look at
ahead and start buying bitcoin as a you know, percentage
of what you do to hedge against your you know,
(07:06):
for the future. But pretty fascinating to watch that. I mean,
we've talked about it for how many years, uncle Henry
bitcoin and it's.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Probably ten years. I mean, we we did a show
about it at Mobile Bay Coins. You brought in a
friend of yours and we were all down down there
doing a live show talking about bigcoin. That's where I
infamously turned down the opportunity to get some bit coin.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I did it too, when it was two hundred dollars
a coin. Yes, but I think a lot of us did.
But I think it's it's gonna be one of the
biggest assets in the world. It's getting that way now.
But uh, and there's also crazy stuff in the world too.
I just want to say that it will be wonderful
to see Brennan from the CIA possibly either just get
(07:52):
embarrassed or maybe getting a little trouble. But I don't
know if they feel embarrassment, but I would say that
guy from the CIA, Brennan has than a jackal for
many many years. And his lie to the people that
you know, he didn't He said that they can spy
on us, and they got caught spying. They got called
the rush Rush rash and stuff. I just it would
be nice to see a little bit of come up
(08:14):
on some of these uh you know, embedded just spooks. Yes, indeed,
would like to see someone get that come up.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
And I agree with that. I have no confidence that
that will ever happen, but I would like to see it.

That's two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
I've got some people waiting to talk. Let me get
(09:37):
back to the phones.
Speaker 10 (09:38):
Hello, Color, Hey, good to you. Knock and Cliff.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Cliff, you are live on the Radioy Henry.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Yes, you know you know some things that are evil
and perverse. Yes, I was, uh, I was digging around
and I was looking at haw Kim Jeffrey the other
day and he fell a busted, you know, like he
did something for seven hours. Yeah, some of these democrats
are still in office. I bet you can find one.
You remember the Browns, the Board of Education versus Brown Yeah,
(10:10):
nineteen fifty four, yes to sixty five. It ended that's
a Democrat. That man filibustered for seventy days.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Seventy days, seventy days? How do you do that?
Speaker 10 (10:28):
So what he did? But I can tell you they
did not want that Jim Crow law. They wanted to
keep it. And that man talked for seventy days. That's
a record for the Democrats. But they did one always
hollering about systemic racism. If a person don't hate you,
how can he talk for seventy days.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
I have no idea these people.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Are still in office, the same people as fooling kids
and grown folks come a trance if you look up
trans in mean to deceive. That's why these kids they
weren't about the ones that get murdered. You marry him
and then finally find out that this ain't a woman,
It was a man. You don't tell him. What do
(11:12):
you think he gonna do?
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Oh, that would be that would be quite quite an argument.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
And so they still using that. That's a political issue too.
But maiming that's evil. Maiming kids and fool and grown folks,
that's a spirit that's doing that. So you ain't seen
nothing yet.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Uh Oh, I'm sure, And I hate to feel that way,
but the past teaches us that we ain't seen nothing yet.
Speaker 10 (11:41):
A man, you don't bliss day.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
You too, Cliff, Thank you very much for your phone
call and the you know you. I can remember twenty
thirty years ago looking at the youth coming up and thinking, hmm,
I wonder if they're going to be all right. I
wonder if that generation is going to be all right.
(12:03):
And it just it just seems to we just seemed
to be moving in one direction in terms of the
way things are going. And that direction would be Sodom
and Gomorah two five to one, four seven nine three.
The telephone number, Hello Color, Hello, Hello, you are live
on the radio.
Speaker 11 (12:23):
Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Man?
Speaker 11 (12:24):
This is a little subject from Cliff's little dissertation there, yes, sir,
but I'm sure you remember.
Speaker 12 (12:33):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (12:33):
One of the first I believe was a bitcoin transactionist
was a guy.
Speaker 10 (12:40):
That bought a pizza.
Speaker 11 (12:42):
It was somewhere up north and this was probably ten
fifteen years ago, and it was like seventy thousand dollars
that he spent for this diggum pizza. But my brother,
he was real big about that where bitcoin first came out,
like you got to get on this and it was
like fifty dollars, and I was like, boy, what the
(13:04):
hell is that?
Speaker 10 (13:05):
I don't know what that is? And then.
Speaker 11 (13:08):
So I'm eating crow now.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Well me too, Me too. I was offered the opportunity
to get some bitcoin years ago, and I just thought this.
I was like you, I thought this is just a passing, silly,
maybe even a scam or a rip off. There's no
way this will ever be the future. And of course
now now I'm wondering, will they let us keep using
our regular currency?
Speaker 11 (13:31):
Yeah, they're already gonna take away our pennies.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Yeah. Well, hey, what about your brother? Is he wealthy?
Can he can he slip of some cash?
Speaker 10 (13:41):
No?
Speaker 11 (13:42):
No, no, he gave me, but he gave me the advice.
He didn't take it himself either.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Oh no, that is now he's got to feel like
a bigger.
Speaker 11 (13:53):
He should feel he should be a bigger donkey than me.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Exactly. Sure, Well, thank you for thank you for telling
me I'm not the only one that passed up on
what has turned out to be one of the better investments.
Speaker 10 (14:06):
Like I say, the first time I ever said it
was like.
Speaker 11 (14:09):
Sending five eight books, and now it's like what almost
two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Yeah, and now you and I can buy what Johnny
Gwynn said, what like a millionth of a big coin?
Speaker 11 (14:20):
Yes, we get a little fractions.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Yeah, all right, Well, hey, thank you for telling me
that story. Yes, sir, have a wonderful day. Whoever you
might be two five one four seven nine two two
three the telephone number here on the on Cleander show. Yeah.
I did a show back at Mobile Bay Coins and
Fine Jewelry with Angelo. It was back when I was
(14:44):
doing mornings here on this station. Johnny Gwynn was there
and he brought in a friend of his that was
a really brainy guy that was an ex I can't
remember the guy's name. I think I think his first
name was Michael, but I'm not sure. And the guy
that was such an expert on bitcoin eight years ago,
(15:06):
ten years ago, however long ago, that was the guy
was so odd. No offense to him, because I ended
up getting to socialize with him a few years later,
and he continued to be odd, but not in a
bad way, just a little different, a little eccentric, which
(15:26):
can be good. But when I first met him, I thought,
I don't know, this guy's a little he's eccentric enough
that maybe I don't want any kind of monetary dealings
with a guy. Well, of course, now I wished I had.
I wished I had followed his advice gotten some bitcoin,
and then I would be I would be probably on
(15:48):
a front porch right now, listening to somebody else host
this show while I sipped on very expensive sweet iced tea. Now,
before before I go to break, we do have a
break coming up with news headlines from Fox ten and

Trying to figure out you and me together, trying to
figure out what is going on in the world around us?
(18:50):
What is going on in the world around us? Now,
there was a story over the past few days. Fox
ten had it last night where somebody in Graham Bay
is stealing flags from a church. Now, first of all,
stealing from a church, I mean, and then stealing a flag?
(19:14):
What what kind of a what kind of sickness is it?
What kind of demon is in this person? There seems
to be compound sinning going on, different layers of sin
and perversion on this person. Let's listen. This is brief.
I've got the story from Shelby Myers of Fox ten.
She went down to Grand Bay, and I'm jealous that
(19:35):
I didn't get to go because I love that part
of the county. Shelby Myers and Grand Bay talking to
the people that had their flags, American flags getting stolen
from a church. These people, it's almost like somebody begging
to be hit by lightning.
Speaker 13 (19:52):
Isn't it?
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Doesn't it sound like somebody that is trying desperately to
get hit by a lightning bolt from the lowered and
that they're trying to figure out, what can I do.
Let's go rob a church and then taking American flag right,
let's listen together.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
We've been doing it at least ten years, maybe a
little longer.
Speaker 14 (20:15):
It's a beloved tradition in Grand Bay.
Speaker 15 (20:17):
That's kind of what we're known for.
Speaker 14 (20:19):
You can't miss them driving in.
Speaker 15 (20:21):
If it's July fourth and people drive through here and
they don't see those flags, then.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
By the way, that is how I say July. I
don't say July. It's July.
Speaker 15 (20:30):
I'm not sure they're in Grand Bay.
Speaker 14 (20:32):
Close to one hundred and fifty American flags lying the
front and side of Grand Bay Baptist Church. About a
dozen congregants write a veteran's name on a ribbon, tie
it to each flag, and put them up before the
fourth of July.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
We have the holes here and there's placed every five feet.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
We have them a pourt in the ground so we
don't have to dig holes every year.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
We just uncover them and let's put the flags in.
Speaker 14 (20:58):
Now the flags have been put away in stories for
the year.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Replace the flags each year when they're damaged or something.
Speaker 14 (21:05):
Or other, But next year there'll be a few flags short.
Speaker 15 (21:09):
The folks in our church who put them out and
really kind of sponsor that. They came up one day
and noticed I think four were missing.
Speaker 14 (21:18):
Pastor Charles Miller says, someone stole them. The church quietly
replaced those four.
Speaker 15 (21:24):
Then a few days later we had three missing, except
this time instead of taking the whole pole, they cut
them off. We attach them with zip ties, and so
they'd cut the flags off and taken them.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Pastor, Hey, what are you gonna do. Let's just again,
let's say it's not a person that is trying to
get hit by lightning, which is what it sounds like.
It's like somebody trying to try to do different layerings
of sins. What would be the motive for stealing an
American flag from a church? Would it be political? Would
(22:00):
it be that you hate the country and religion and
you're just trying to be mean to them? Or is
there a market? Is there some type of market for
stolen flags? Is that? Where would you fence a stolen
American flag?
Speaker 14 (22:18):
Biller says, they just want the flags returned, no questions asked.
Speaker 15 (22:23):
We don't know the motives, you know, We're not looking
to send anybody to jail for a flag or anything
like that. We just want to keep honoring people the
way that we have been. We just would have liked
the flags back, and especially especially the ribbons that have
the names of those who have served.
Speaker 12 (22:42):
Olfaser Miller says the flags can simply be dropped back
off at the church and if the person who took
them needs a meal or anything, they would love to
lend a helping hand, saying they've already chosen to forgive
whoever did it.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
Now, see there's your And they said they chose to forgive. Well,
I don't know what. I don't know. If somebody asks
to be forgiven and they repent, I think we're supposed to.
I think I don't know that we have a choice
as long as the person is repenting. If you're a Christian,
I don't know that you have a choice. I think
you have to. I think Jesus said some stuff about
(23:15):
this you may remember. So there at least they're setting
an example of saying, hey, we've already forgiven them. Just
bring the flags back, and if you need a bite
to eat, we'll give you some deed. Nice examples sit
by the church. But what is this world? What's the
world coming to? What is the world coming to? Somebody
would take that chance? Did they just did they just
(23:40):
want to have a bunch of flags? Did they feel
like they needed to decorate for the fourth and they
didn't have enough money to go get their own flag?
And they looked at the church and there was one
hundred and something flags over there, and they thought, well,
they won't miss, you won't miss just a few of these,
and these would look really nice. These would really look
(24:04):
nice in our yard. Maybe we can hang one in
each window or something. Who knows, but forgive, forgiving and
wanting to help them out. I hope that there. I
hope there is resolution to this. It would be just
for my curiosity's sake. I would love to find out
what on earth would be the motive for a flag thief.
(24:25):
I doubt it is somebody that has got so much
patriotism just boiling up inside of them. They're just swelling,
just swelling with patriotism, and they just can't take it.
They've just got to express it, and they just had
to have more flags to want to wrap themselves in flags.
It's probably not that I don't probably not who knows.
(24:49):
You never know. Two five one four seven nine two
seven two three. The telephone number that's two five one
four seven nine two seven two three. Email address Uncle
Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Let's see before I go
to break, there was one thing I saw. We've been
a lot of us have been thinking about the Epstein
case this week with the absolutely unbelievable memo from the
(25:13):
Department of Justice saying that there's nothing there. The investigation
is pretty much done. Alan Dershowitz, have you seen the
clip Alan Dershowitz went on the Sean Spicer Show. He
says that, yes, there's a list, and he's read it.
(25:34):
If you hadn't heard this real quick, here is the
infamous attorney, Alan Dershowitz talking about how, yes there is
a list, that he's not on it, but he's read
it and he knows who's on it.
Speaker 16 (25:46):
This is not an opinion, this is a fact I
have seen. Remember, I was accused falsely and the and
ultimately I was completely cleared. The woman admitted that she
may have mistook me for somebody else and withdrew all
of her lawsuits. And so from day one, from the
day I was accused. I said, I want every document
out because I knew every document would prove I was innocent.
So let me tell you. I know for a fact
(26:08):
documents are being suppressed, and they're being suppressed to protect individuals.
I know the names of the individuals. I know why
they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them. But I'm
bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I
can't disclose what I know. But I pant to God.
I know I know the names of people whose files
(26:30):
are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that's wrong,
just out of cryo out there.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
So do we No? I don't know if can I
believe this guy? I don't know. I have no idea.
I have no idea if I can believe Alan Dershwoodz
or not. But what would his motive be for saying this?
Unless he wants to write a book about it or something,
what would his motive be? Does is he? I'm trying
to think of what would be the motive for line
(26:58):
about it? Usually, and there's no way to read minds.
And since we can't read minds, I guess money should
always be you're you're you should always start with the
money motive. Maybe that would be a motive just to
try and get interest in him so I can write
some big, best selling book about it. But he says
(27:18):
he's seen it, and he also went on to say
in the clip that it's politicians, business people, anything on
the list. All right, back with more Uncle Henry's Show
after the break Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven ten WNTM.
(28:07):
It is five fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes,
and then more our additional Uncle Henry Show after six
o'clock telephone number if you'd like to call the program
two five one four seven nine two seven two three.
That's two five to one four seven nine two seven
two three. Let me let me get there. I got
(28:28):
a quick voicemail right before the show started.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
Bill tied Uck.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I have a call and the message that I deem
quite relevant today Ken July two k twenty five. We're
fifty one days from August thirty two K twenty five,
which also happens to be the kickoff date for the
(28:54):
Alabama Crimson Tide football team. Roll Tiede bro versus Florida State.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
Sixty eight year old Chris thank you for that message.
We are fifty one days from kickoff Alabama Crimson Tide
versus Florida State. I have not been paying close attention
at all during the off season. Lots of busyness in
my life, Thank the Lord. All I've seen though, is
(29:21):
allegedly really good recruiting. But that's all alleged because I'm
only I'm not clicking on the headlines again. Two five
one four seven nine two seventy two three. That's two
five one four seven nine two seventy two three. Email
address Uncle Henry at iHeartMedia dot com. Now, let's see.
(29:42):
I got a voicemail right after the news about Amtrak's
uh Marti Grass drunk train when they announced the fares
would start as low as fifteen bucks. And I got
a call from Buford about this about the fares on
the am track Marty Grod drunk trains.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Different.
Speaker 13 (30:05):
Henry Song on the on the news outlets that the
too chew train from Mobile to New Orleans will cost
only like fifteen dollars.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Yeah, yeah, Henry.
Speaker 13 (30:25):
That that train ride is going to be an absolute
poop show.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Sorry to use the vulgarity, Henry.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
Another way to say it. That is going to be
an absolute disaster. Can you imagine, Henry, they need to
raise them prices for the too cheo train. It needs
to be at least one hundred dollars a dickeys. What
I mean, Henry?
Speaker 7 (30:56):
What now?
Speaker 13 (30:57):
I mean? They are going to tear that train slash up.
There's gonna be fights, There's gonna be all kinds of dramas, all.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Right, now what now? Come on? Now, beford the the
idea this is run by the federal government. The idea
that the federal government would have some type of uh disaster,
as you're you're implying, I cannot imagine a government run
train with problems, can you? It's hard to be but uh,
people that were buying tickets kept telling me that they
(31:27):
never could find one that low because demand has a
lot to do with the tickets. So I let's let's
hope your prediction is incorrect and that people are gonna
be very nice. They're gonna be well mannered on the train.
It's government, The government's running the train.
Speaker 13 (31:47):
There's gonna be an untold amount of issues. I'm sure
they'll probably be a couple of shootings on that youtu train.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Now, come on, it's no but I I doubt that.
I doubt that will happen.
Speaker 13 (32:02):
Price is way too low. You have to things like that.
You have to set your price point to wear you out.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Right, Look the price point they in New Orleans.
Speaker 13 (32:17):
That is going to be a drunken fest of a
train ride. I do hope though, that they put up
vidio cameras all throughout that train and have a YouTube
channel so we can safely watch the chaos at home. Anyway, Henry,
just my thoughts. You have a good day.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
I hope you're wrong. I hope you're wrong. I didn't
I never had that reaction. I never thought that it
would get banned on it. I mean, it's government run.
We all know the government does such an especially the
federal government. They just do such an outstanding job with transportation,
don't they, and all these things. But I hope you're wrong.
(33:03):
But if somebody had to be let off the train,
there are four stomps in Mississippi, so maybe they'll have
maybe they could have little uh little paddy wagons at
each at each train stop, just for that, just in
case if it ever happens. But I don't think. I
cannot imagine it happening the way that you have described you,
(33:27):
but we'll all find out. As Fred Richardson would say,
time holds the answer to everything, and time will all know.
Maybe the ticket, maybe you could make the ticket ten
(33:47):
dollars but charge thirty dollars for a beer. Maybe that
would solve that issue, if it ever became an issue.
(34:19):
This says the Uncle Henry Show here on News Radio
seventy ten WNTM. I appreciate very much you listening to
the Uncle Henry Show. Now, in this half hour of show,
I'm gonna go over some news items that I missed
you may have missed them as well. And I'm also
(34:42):
gonna mess around a little bit. Probably whatever I might
I don't know. I'll check the grocery list. There's a
lot of things I can do. First, let me start
with a story out of Baldwin County, Alabama. This caught
my eye because the Uncle Henry Show for many years
has had a correspondent reporting to us from Baldwin County,
(35:04):
calling in from West Locksley, Alabama, sixty eight year old Chris.
I've heard a lot of a lot of Locksley phone
calls through the years thanks to Chris. I feel very
connected to the Locksley community because of Chris's calls, and
I was pleased to see Locksley on Fox ten. They
have this story. I don't know if you missed it.
(35:25):
I missed it, so I want to learn about this.
There's a German stainless steel manufacture. This is going to
set up a base in Locksley, Alabama. Will they be
close to Chris or not? Well, let's find out. Let's
listen as Fox ten tells us about the German stainless
steel manufacture coming to Locksley.
Speaker 17 (35:47):
A huge announcement. This is in Baldwin County, Global stainless
steel manufacturer building. It's for a US production facility here.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
And Rooting Global will invest more than sixty million dollars
and bring one new jobs to Baldwin County.
Speaker 14 (36:01):
How about that?
Speaker 17 (36:02):
Our house Shrek was at that announcement at Stillwood Country
Club and Locksley and has the information for you.
Speaker 18 (36:11):
It was a day to celebrated. Locksley is another company
announced a multimillion dollar investment in the community. German based
Bututing Global.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Is a butting. It's pronounced butting. Now it's spelled butting,
but please do not pronounce it butting. That's accent just
doesn't sound good. Butting. Remember this for all future pronunciations.
Speaker 18 (36:32):
Seventh generation, family run business, which began in the late
seventeen hundreds handcrafting copper. Much has changed over the centuries.
Stainless steel is now the focus and clad piping is
a major part of the product line. Locksley will be
home to Butting's first US based manufacturing site. And that's
what we'll be produced here.
Speaker 19 (36:51):
As we built sports of out of it for the
transferre we.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
Go with another great accent, another great accent. We got
to sound like a German. I don't know if it's
a Butting member of the Butting family or just your
random German. I guess it's German anyway, A wonderful the deck.
A couple of days ago we had the wonderful Scottish accent.
(37:16):
I think it was. Now we're getting the German. Let's
listen to the Butting guy talking with I don't even
know if I can understand this.
Speaker 18 (37:23):
That's what we'll be produced here.
Speaker 19 (37:25):
We built spools out of it for the transfer of
liquefied gases, which is a pipe and pipe system. Cryogenic
applications for semiconduct for space acts for cfs coming with
fusion reactors, so we had already a lot of partners
in the US that we want to serve locally now
with our production here.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
I love this. I love this. I remember when I
remember years ago when Mobile County was trying to decide
if they wanted to have the Phenale Kimmi plant get built.
Do you remember that? And I remember they were from
Germany and they they they gathered the local media. They
(38:10):
even did a trip where they took some media and
local officials owe over to Germany to tour their plants
to show how safe it was to build a chemical
plant like Phenol Chimmy in Mobile County. I remember the
news reports because there was a local reporter. I will
(38:30):
not name the reporter, but the reporter went over on
that trip. He got a he got a paid for
a trip to Germany, and in his reporting he was
doing reporting like it's so peaceful here. I remember this vividly.
He reported, it's so peaceful here at the chemical plant
in Germany. I see a bird building its nest right
(38:52):
here on this big chemical this vat of chemicals. Yes,
that was the kind of reporting we got. Anyway, I
remember the accents, and I remember one guy kept calling
Ron Reems the lovable. Ron Reems kept calling him Ronnie
instead of ron The only person that I've ever known
called ron Rings Ronnie was a German from Penal Kimmy
(39:17):
all right back to Butting in the Germans of Butting.
Speaker 18 (39:21):
Beauty's economic investment in Baldwin County will bring one hundred
new jobs with it. It's just the latest international company
to put its faith in Baldwin County in the workforce. Here,
Head of Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance, Lee Lawson, says
he's not surprised. Baldwin County and the Locksley area in
particular have several key components these companies look for.

We've got a great sell We've got property that's been
prepared and ready. We sit in a great location logistics wise.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
We have a lot by the way, Locksley. Congratulations on
your logistics. I've always thought that. In fact, if you're
a longtime listener, I don't know if any are left,
but if you're a longtime listener, you'll remember that I
did advocate for several years that an international airport be
built in Locksley. Yes, I think Locksley would have been
the perfect location for an international airport, And of course
(40:17):
my suggestions are not I guess I'm not educated enough
to make a good suggestion.
Speaker 20 (40:21):
A lot of assets around us, including the port and
others other manufacturers. They're going to help bolster this manufacturer.
And so we have this ecosystem that we have built
and are building on top of that can be Locksley.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Ecosystem continues to.

Produce momentum and success for us.
Speaker 18 (40:38):
With this announcement, while we County continues to position itself
as one of the state's top manufacturing hubs. Bauting products
manufactured here will be shipped across the world, primarily to
use at high tech applications.
Speaker 19 (40:51):
For example, in nice project.
Speaker 7 (40:53):
Here we go with the accent.
Speaker 19 (40:55):
Well we participate at the moment is the CFS fusion
reactor coming with fusion systems up in Boston.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
Therefore, this is I'm having flashbacks to Hogan's heroes listening
to this.
Speaker 19 (41:07):
We supplied a lot of uh uh recuumans related pipes, pipes,
pools for the cooling of the reactor.
Speaker 7 (41:14):
Cooling.
Speaker 19 (41:15):
We supply as well pipes for SpaceX H for the
for the starships.
Speaker 18 (41:20):
Muting is just the latest of nearly a dozen companies
who employ one hundred or more to have settled.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
In fauld Hey. That guy was drinking a beer in.
Speaker 18 (41:27):
County in the last five years reporting in Locksley House
Share Foxton.
Speaker 17 (41:31):
News, and the groundbreaking for that is said for the fall,
some initial hiring already going on, with the first coming
on for the first half of the year. The company
says the pay scale will be in the sixth figure.
Speaker 7 (41:44):
Right, all right, six figure I like that. That sounds night.
All right, well, I'm glad that. Congratulations to Locksley. You
have a lot to celebrate. Your logistics we learned are perfect.
You've got an ecosystem that is there's something good about that.
I guess you got Germans coming in there with beer
and they're they're gonna have fusion fusion reactor pipes. They're
(42:07):
gonna be making their It's just isn't that wonderful? There
you are in Locksley, Alabama. Sixty eight year old Chris,
congratulations on all of that. Maybe the maybe sixty eight
year old Chris's daughter, Sirita will one day work, who knows,
maybe she'll work one day at butting as a pipe person.
(42:30):
All right, Gonna take a time out for trafficing weather
and words from the wonderful sponsors of the Uncle Henry Show.
And then back with more Uncle Henry's Show here on
News Radio seventy ten w nt M, and don't forget
this show available as a podcast at NewsRadio seventy ten
dot com or on the iHeartRadio app. Take the Dadgum break,
(43:06):
it says, the Uncle Henry's Show on News Radio seven
to ten WNTM. News headlines coming your way in ten minutes.
Before we get to the news headlines, there's another story
I want to learn about. Now, this is not local,
this is out of Greenville, Alabama. Turns out there is
(43:28):
a TV show, a new TV show is going to
launch about people losing weight. And I do remember watching
The Biggest Loser years ago, and now I wasn't a
religious viewer where I watched it a lot. I maybe
saw three or four episodes of the Biggest Loser. This
(43:49):
is another weight loss TV show that's supposed to be
coming out soon, and they've been in Greenville. They're trying
to recruit people in Alabama to lose weight on the
TV show. And it makes sense, unfortunately, for this TV
show to come to Alabama because we're one of the
top states for overbeesity, not just overweight and obese, but
(44:11):
overbesity unfortunately. And they I guess if I were making
a TV show about people wanted to lose weight, I'd
go to Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi. No offense to all of
us here, but we have really good food. We have
really good food down here, and we also have poor
(44:32):
We have poor impulse control apparently when it comes to
the food. So let's learn together. What kind of TV
show are they going to try to make in Greenville, Alabama?
Speaker 14 (44:43):
Put Greenville in the spotlight. The goal is for contestants too.
Speaker 7 (44:47):
This is from w SFATV, stepsister station to Fox ten.
Speaker 17 (44:52):
Lose weight and get out of their conference zone.
Speaker 21 (44:55):
Greenville could be the pilot city for this new series
as call is on right now through the rest of
the week and it's open to anyone in Butler County.
Reporter Simon Schusler has details.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
According to the CDC, Alabama has the fifth highest obesity
rate in the nation.
Speaker 7 (45:15):
Now the video. I'm sorry we can't show the video
because this is radio and we still haven't figured out
how to put pictures with the audio. We're working on that,
but I just want you to know the video right now,
this guy's talking about Alabama's got a lot of fat
people in it. They're showing video of people of larger carriage,
(45:37):
very large carriage, from the neck down. So nobody's head
is ever in these pictures. It's always people from the
neck down. I wondered what it would be like if
you ever recognized yourself on TV from the neck down?
Wouldn't that be embarrassing to see that you're part of
file footage? Anytime they want to do a news story
(46:00):
about overbeast people and they show you from the neck down,
that would not That would be a maybe motivation to
drop a few. But anyway, back to the story.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Highest obesity rate in the nation, a new TV show
could help reshape that figure, but producers need more people
to sign up to make it a reality.
Speaker 22 (46:18):
If you remember the show The Biggest Loser, we have
a new show coming to town that we're looking for
over one hundred people, so it's like a town weight loss.
Speaker 17 (46:27):
Community weight loss challenge here in Greenville.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
The show would be filmed in Greenville, but any Butler
County resident can apply. Producers gave us a hint of
what it would look like.
Speaker 22 (46:37):
Isn't that work that you.
Speaker 7 (46:38):
Know a network.
Speaker 22 (46:39):
I know, all right, there'll be celebrity trainers that you
know you've seen.
Speaker 7 (46:43):
And celebrity trainers that I know and I've seen. Right now,
I guess I'm feeling really ignorant. I don't know that
I know any Jack Llane. I know Jack Llane and
Richard Simmons, and they're both no longer on the planet.
They're not on the planet anymore. Jacque Olaine and Richard Simmons.
I guess I need to get with the program and
(47:04):
find out who is a modern celebrity trainer.
Speaker 22 (47:08):
They'll be celebrity trainers that you know you've seen and
celebrity nutritionists.
Speaker 8 (47:11):
So when the show comes celebrity nutritionist, what is a
celebrity I'm trying to think who would be a celebrity nutritionist.
Speaker 7 (47:24):
Let's see, would would you consider Anita Bryant, because hey,
she was always talking about orange juice and that has
vitamin C in it. Who is a celebrity nutritionist.
Speaker 22 (47:36):
There'll be celebrity trainers that you know you've seen and
celebrity nutritionists. So when the show comes here, you'll be.
Speaker 14 (47:41):
Like, oh my gosh, I know that person.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Greenville Mayor Dexter.
Speaker 7 (47:45):
Sorry, I'm sorry because I would not know that person.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
McClinton was initially skeptical when approached with the idea, but
that skepticism has now turned into optimism.
Speaker 6 (47:56):
But when they first called, I said, they're probably gonna
make this red epes look a little weird or something
down here.
Speaker 18 (48:01):
But that's all.
Speaker 6 (48:02):
Then when I got to meet him and got the
producer to come and all that, it was just I mean,
it was obvious to me this is something we wanted
to do, so we embraced it. We brought them in
and we're gonna make Grangam look great and we're gonna
lose some weight.
Speaker 14 (48:15):
Elizabeth.
Speaker 7 (48:15):
I'm sure the celebrity nutritionists really pushed him over there
and really sold it to him.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Phil is one of the many applicants so far.
Speaker 17 (48:23):
I got my encourager here, my daughter, we are going
to this journey together.
Speaker 19 (48:29):
Is pushing me way.
Speaker 17 (48:30):
Out of my comfort zone, way way out of it.
Speaker 6 (48:33):
So but I'm looking forward to the adventure.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
Crews expect to return in the fall to film if
Greenville is selected as the show's pilot city. Simon Schusler
WSFA twelve News Greenville.
Speaker 21 (48:45):
Now, if you have enough courage to do.
Speaker 7 (48:47):
It all right. Well, I'm I would be This is
something I would because it's set in Alabama, in Alabama,
and I do have a familiarity with Alabama, having lived
here all my life. I would probably want to watch
at least an episode of this show just to see
how how is Alabama portrayed, because you heard the mayor there.
(49:07):
He was worried that they were gonna make him look
like a bunch of weird rednecks or something. But now
he's optimistic because you know they got celebrity nutritionness. So
I'm gonna have to I'm gonna if it actually happens,
I'm gonna have to watch it and see, just just
find out how Alabama is treated by the program, and
are people actually helped or are they are they giving
(49:29):
any kind of help that is practical on the show. Well,
as Fred Richardson say, would say, Tom holds the answer
to everything and time we'll all know all right out
of time. Thank you for listening. As they say in
sarah Land, have a good one. And as they say
in Theodore, take it easy all right. Later
