Tubby for Governor

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Henrico weekday afternoons from five till seven.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Uh, Uncle Henry, I have a suggestion for naming something
for Coach Bryant.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
There's been a lot of streets in Mobile recently the
names have been changed. Why not changed the name of
Airport Boulevard to Paul Bear Bryant Boulevard. I think people
would be more respectful driving on it. It was being
honored also and certainly named the new bridge across the

(00:37):
bay named after Paul Bear Bryant Bridge. I loved the
University of Alabama, and I loved Coach Bryant. Thank you, bye.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Bye, it says the Uncle Henry Show here on news

(01:20):
Radio seventy ten WNTM. And I appreciate you listening to
the l Cleanary Show. Thank you, Thank you for listening
to the l Clenary Show. The paycheck is still very important.
It is. It's a very important part of my life.
The paycheck is and you too.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Once again, here we are together, me and you, trying
to figure out what is going on in the world
around us. So many things to get into the l
Clenary Show. Just about every level. Today there was a
Bill City Council meeting, lots of opportunities to be bored

(02:04):
and frustrated by that. Before we get to Mobile City
Council or anything else going on in the news, we
had the announcement made this afternoon on Fox News Network.
Tommy Tuberville. You may remember him, Hear the Thumb, Tommy Tuberville,
former Auburn coach. He became a senator representing Alabama in

(02:28):
the United States Senate, and now as he is a senator,
he announced today on Fox News The Will Caine Show
that Tommy Tuberville is running for governor, like most people
thought he was going to do. So if you missed
his announcement, I thought you might want to hear a
little bit of it.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
I did edit this because there was a question about
the big beautiful bill and what are the Republicans going
to do in the Senate about this bill? Blah blah blah.
But I did include the part where Tommy Tuberville talks
about running for governor of Alabama. So let's listen together,
me and't you to a little bit of The Will

(03:11):
Caine Show on Fox News this afternoon. Here is Will
Caine talking to Senator coach Tommy Tuberville about running for governor.
Of Alabama. He makes the announcement on The Will Caine Show.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
I've already mispronounced our next guest name, and that's a
shame because he has big news and an exclusive here
for the Will Kine Show. It is Alabama Republican Senator
Tommy Tuberville.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Now he's saying an exclusive. I'm sorry to interrupt already,
but he says an exclusive to the Will Kine Show.
I think I read it on Lan Yap's website maybe
an hour beforehand, so word was getting out, not that exclusive.
Lan Yap had it an hour before he did it.
But anyway, here we go.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Okay, Senator coach, Sorry for saying two Ville. Sometimes things
come out of my mouth that I can't control. And
I know you well and I know it's Tubberville, but
it might not be coach. It might not be senator
in the future. It might be a different title because
you have a big announcement for us.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh, by the way, just curious because I don't watch
Fox News during the day due to holding a job.
But do all the Fox hosts fawn over the politicians?
Do they? I mean, this is quite a fawning interview.
Is that the way it does with all of them
during the day. They just is it really do they

(04:33):
fawn over these politicians? All right?

Speaker 7 (04:35):
Back to the announcement, Well, thank you will, thanks for
having me on. We're in Byron's Barbecue here in Auburn,
Alabama today. I started my Senate run almost seven years
ago right in the same building. You can see my
friends and family. My three month old new granddaughter, Rosie
Grace is here cheering his own. But it's great to

(04:55):
be here. My wife and I, Suzanne, moved here over
twenty five years ago. Oh, as you know, I coached
and by.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
The way, I'm sure to interrupted again. But it always
it's distracting whenever he brings up see as an Alabama fan,
Row as an Alabama fan, it's always distracting when he
starts reminding me that he coached for Auburn. I just
don't need to hear that. Now. Maybe you enjoy it,
Maybe you're a big Auburn fan and you just love
all this Auburn reference. It's very distracting and annoying to

(05:26):
have him in Auburn making the announcement in Auburn, reminding
us that he was at Auburn. I don't need that
don't need that as an Alabama fan, but anyway, and
it was.

Speaker 7 (05:35):
It was a great time. We've made some great friends.
It's been a lot of fun. My two boys, Turk
and Troy, were educated here. It's home.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
We've made a lot of friends and a lot of family.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
So uh, A few years ago, I decided to give
back to this great country and fight. President Trump was
a guy that really was behind me and doing the
Senate race. He's been mind me ever since. And today
I will announce that I will be the future governor
of the great State of Alabama.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Oh god, now it's.

Speaker 7 (06:16):
I've still got eighteen months to go with President Trump
to make America great again.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
We've got a lot of work to do.

Speaker 7 (06:21):
Money will go back and pass the big beautiful bill
for President Trump. But I'm doing this to help this
country and the great state of Alabama. I'm a football coach,
I'm a leader, I'm a builder, I'm a recruiter. And
we're gonna grow Alabama. We're gonna bring manufacturer of the state.
We're gonna stop this illegal immigration. We're gonna make education

(06:42):
better again, and we're.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Gonna Now there's a I've never heard that phrase before,
make education better.

Speaker 7 (06:48):
Again, everything possible to make sure our kids when they're
when they graduated in this great state, the Alhammer State,
that they stay in this state and work. We're gonna
have workforce developments. So will we got a lot of
work to do nationally. I'm looking forward to that with
President Trump. He's got us on the right track.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
And by the way, it sounds like he wants to
do a lot of things that kay Ivy has been
talking about doing. Only I guess we'll see him more
more often. Will that be the difference? All right? Uh?
So that was Tommy Tuberville on the Will can Let's
see a little bit more from him? I thought I
had a little bit more from him anyway. That was

(07:26):
Tommy Tuberville announcing that he's running for governor of Alabama
on the Will Kine Show on Fox. So, I don't
know how excited you are. Are you excited? Did it
make your heart beat faster to know that Coach Tubberville
may run the state of Alabama, may win the election,
run the state of Alabama? Are you excited about that?

(07:49):
I'm trying to figure out. I mean try I've watched
through my career people just just doing everything they poss
can to get in the United States Senate, just fighting
friends and family and taking out this person and that person.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Doing anything and everything to get in the Senate of
the United States of America. And I've always thought of
the Senate as being one of the cushiest jobs in politics,
because you don't once you get up there, you don't
really actually have to produce for the folks back home.
All you got to do is tell them that you tried.
You just make some speeches on TV and then tell

(08:30):
them I tried, but all them other ones wouldn't let me.
They all blocked me. I can't figure out why you
would leave that. It just seems such a cushy job
to be in the Senate. And they all get very
wealthy if you noticed that. Figure out the psychology behind this.

(08:51):
But anyway, Tommy Tuberville running for governor. It's official now,

(09:11):
Uncle Henry Show News Radio seven to ten WNTM. It's
five twenty news headlines coming up in ten minutes. It's
a Mobile City Council meeting today. I'll get to that.
But also today, Coach Tuberville, coach Senator Tommy Tuberville announced
he's running for governor of Alabama. I've been pondering which

(09:33):
job is a better job, Which job is a better
job being a senator or a governor of Alabama. Hey,
before I further ponder that, just in case you wanted
to hear all he had to say, just a little
bit more of Tommy Tuberville from Fox News this afternoon

(09:56):
because he was he made some comment about how he
likes to be called coach and not not senator, but coach. Now,
let's listen.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
Cation better again. And we're going to do everything possible
to make sure our kids when they graduated in this
great state, Yellhammer state, that they stay in this state
and work. We're going to have workforce development, so will
we got a lot of work to do nationally. I'm
looking forward to that with President Trump, He's got us
on the right track. But meantime, I'll be running every

(10:30):
weekend doing the things I need to do to make
sure that I can get over the threshold and win
this governor's race. Come back to Alabama and work with
President Trump and not stop because he's fully supportive of this,
to keep making America great again and put Alabama first.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
You told me once, you told me before will call
me coach, don't call me senator. Now, I'm not going
to put the car before the horse, but let's presume
him for a moment that the new title is governor.
Will you want me to call you governor? Or do
you want me to call you coach?

Speaker 7 (11:01):
As I tell everybody, I'll be coached to everybody. Even
my granddaughter Rosie Grace is gonna call me coach. So
if anybody wants to help out, will coach forgovernor dot
com Thanks for.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Having you, bet, Coach Hubberville, thank you so much. You
talk about your experience of leadership and recruiting and what
you now plan to bring those assets to bear for
the state of Alabama. We'll be watching your race. Thank
you so much.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Senator. All right, so, Coach hubber he's coach coach for governor.
Which job is better senator or governor. I'm trying to
think about it now. The pay the pay for senator
is more. And you may have noticed that even even

(11:44):
when people are making these senators are making less than
two hundred grand a year, they are still amazingly, incredibly
able to inflate their net worth. It's just it's almost
like magic isn't it how you go to Washington and
I don't know what you learn. Maybe you just learn

(12:06):
finances just by rubbing elbows with all the other senators
that have been there for a while. But you go
up there, you can make a lot of money as
a senator, and as I mentioned before, you don't really
have to produce. You can get up there, and as
long as you make a few speeches on TV where

(12:26):
you're yelling at the other party for doing something, you
can fundraise off of that. You can stay up there.
And when you come back and talk to your constituents,
you can say, look, I made all these speeches, but
they wouldn't let me do I tried. I tried to
get that done, but all them other senators up there,
they just wouldn't let me do it. It just seems like

(12:48):
a very cushy job. We've seen people stay up there
for a long long time and the cushion is haven't
we like a Richard Shelby? So I don't know, it's
hard to imagine anything would be cushier than being a
senator of the United States of America. When you look
at the governor's job, though, let's see, you make less money,

(13:09):
at least money that we know about. You make less
money as governor than you do as senator, but you
have perks. You get a mansion to live in. That's
pretty I guess it's nice to say, hey, come over
to my house. Oh where do I live? Oh, the
big mansion, the governor's mansion. And there's also the perk

(13:33):
of that plane. The last few governors we've had have
have taken advantage of that plane. I mean, Bentley flew everywhere.
I think Bentley would would fly from Montgomery to Tuscaloosa.
I mean, just silly, silly uses of that plane. So
you get a plane you can go to just about

(13:53):
anywhere you want your plane. That costs a lot of money,
I don't know. And you get to be governor if
you want to, if you want to do like k Ivy,
you can just hide away and come out just every
now and again to give out a grant and then so,
I don't know. They it looks like both jobs are

(14:15):
pretty cushy. I have to tell I'm going to ponder
this a little bit more and trying to figure out
which which job is the better job. Now from a
standpoint of a guy like Tubberville. I can see why
he would like to be a governor because that's more
closely like what he did when he When you're running

(14:35):
a football program, you're in charge and you people have
to do what you tell him most of the time.
When you're in the Senate, you can only tell your
staff what to do. The rest of the time, you
have to kind of be persuasive and persuade the other
senators to think the way you think. So I don't know,

(14:56):
maybe he's more suited for governor than Senator to five
one three the telephone number to call on the Uncle
Leanders show. Hello, caller.

Speaker 8 (15:05):
Yeah, it's a blind dog Mike and point clear.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Blind dog Mike. You are live on the radio.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (15:09):
I just wanted to tell you and to be honest,
because I won't be anything but honest with you, Uncle Henry.
I did not vote for Senator Tubblerille. I believe that well.
I just he has done a magnificent job. He has.
He has he has earned the respect to the people
of Alabama and I and and and all people all

(15:32):
over the country. And he has done wonders and it
has been very outfront and outspoken about all the issues
and I believe that he just wants to do well
for Alabama. I mean, he really does, and he's gonna win.
Do you think no doubts that he will win?

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, I am. I believe you right now on the win.
He absolutely will win.

Speaker 8 (15:55):
Do you think that I think he'll do a great job.
I really do. I think he's got it at heart.
He really does.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
And I and I and and I hope this doesn't
sound too mean, but the bar isn't that high, unfortunately
in our state when it comes to I mean, it's
just not for for being governor. It's just not. As
long as you can stay out of jail, that's a
huge plus.

Speaker 8 (16:16):
Yeah, it's that's a big plus. But be great for
the state of Alabama. I really do, and and now
I would if I met him, I'd say, you know,
I did not vote for you, but you have earned
my respect totally.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
But you noticed that that, Uh, his fellow Republican senators,
the vast majority of them aren't out front like he's been.

Speaker 8 (16:37):
The Yeah, they need to follow the lead.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
They have not. He has not had a lot of
people to work with. He really hasn't.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
Well.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
The deal is either lead or try to keep up
and that's that's that's what he's doing, and he's not
apologizing to anybody about it not and I like the
way he's doing it, all right. My thing is that
I want to make sure we put someone in the
center for play that really can do a good job.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Hey, well, I got about a minute before I go
to break. You got anybody in mind.

Speaker 8 (17:06):
I'd love to have Bradley Burn do it, because he
ran at one time anyway, and he's he's already been
a congressman, and I think he's probably the best suited
one for the job. But you know, I've known him
for a long time, even before even before all that
when he was just when he was a state senator.
So you know, but he may want to stay home.
I don't blame him on that one. So he's doing

(17:28):
a good job with the with the Chamber of Commerce,
and what can I say about that? He's you know,
it's wonderful. So I'm sure it'll happen. All right, We'll
get We'll get somebody qualified.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Blind dog Mike, thank you, sir. All right, there's more
to come. They Uncle Andrews Show continues after the news break.

(18:07):
Uncle Henry Show News Radio seventy ten WNTM it is
five thirty five. Today was a Mobile City Council meeting day.
In addition to the news about Tommy Tuberville coach Tuberville
running for governor, we didn't have any Mobile City Council

(18:30):
meeting for you, and I will tell you a few
of the things that happened there. One thing about Tuberville
or whoever becomes governor, and no offense to k Ivy,
but whoever becomes governor, they're going to get a lot
of attention and be thought of as hard working by

(18:51):
just by being out and about. Just by being out
and about a lot. Whoever becomes governor next, people are going, wow,
we have a governor, because a lot of times it's
it's easy to forget we got one because of k
Ivy's reduced schedule. Uh but uh mobile City council meeting

(19:12):
before wait, somebody's calling him before I get to the
council meeting. Hello caller, Yes, yes, you are live on
the radio.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
Walter from West Mobile.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Hey, Walter, I think I think that uh, a position
of governor is some uh pretty big branches the field, right. Uh,
you know, if Tommy Tummerville can't do it. I think
probably the only only one who have.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
To feel what's the affair of bridges at large is
your big mom. Would you leave my mother out of
this dead gunmt. This is important. The fate of the
state hangs in the balance, and you're going to take
an opportunity. You could have said something monumental. You could
have made a good point, and we would have thought
that the guy Walter, whatever your name was, out in Westmobile,

(20:05):
we might have thought, well, this is an insightful person.
They just made a good point about governor. But no,
you had to go for the low blow. You're sick,
whoever you really are, whatever your real name is, You're sick.
You're sick minded, and I hope that you go home,
you get down on your hands and knees, and you

(20:27):
pray to the Lord, pray that the Lord heals your sick,
scumbag infested mind. I don't know what's wrong with you,
but something's bad wrong with you, and I hope you
pray for healing. I'll pray for your healing as well,
all right, And yeah, I'm not going to pray for
the other things I was thinking, because God probably would

(20:48):
be very irritated by that. So I'm just going to
pray for your healing, that your mind and your spirit
be healed, and that you would next time you call
the show, you be uplifting and you say something uplifting
about the state, and you have some sense of optimism
and something positive instead of attacking my family. Where was
two five one, four seven nine is a telephone number?

(21:12):
Let me go to the look, let me just go
to the council meeting of Mobile City Council meeting because
there was some some stuff there that I think you
might want to hear. First, the council president CJ. Small. CJ.
Small made the announcement today that he's been targeted by scammers. Yes,

(21:36):
scammers have targeted the city council president CJ. Small. Not
only scammers, they're sophisticated scammers. All right, let's listen together
as CJ. Small tells the tale of how he has
been targeted.

Speaker 9 (21:53):
And it is just a word of wise for really
everyone who hear my boys.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
By the way, that would be you. You just heard
us voice, So this is for you because you heard
his voice.

Speaker 9 (22:04):
And it's just a WordWise for really everyone who hear
my voice. On the past couple of weeks. I have
been receiving a lot of scam calls, and these people
are very sophisticated.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
These people are very sophisticated.

Speaker 9 (22:18):
They are now calling from an actually bank number.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
They're calling from an actual bank number.

Speaker 9 (22:25):
So you are being If you're receiving phone calls and
you think it's kind of funny and you have a doubt,
just hang up and call the bank right back. I
had an opportunity a couple of weeks ago to call
my bank after I thought it was a suspicious call
in the bank told me to turn around to call
this number here. That's the same number that the scammer

(22:47):
was calling from. So you have any doubt what So,
if you have any down whatsoever, And because these people
are very sophisticated and they have more information than you think,
they probably have a you please just hang up as
soon as possible.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh, please hang up as soon as possible. Don't just
hang up in a leisurely way. Have you ever done that?
Back in the days of the landline, you could leisurely
hang up, you'd you'd maybe you'd have to walk over
to the phone and and and put the phone down,
and it's in its cradle thing there, but hang up,

(23:25):
he said, as quickly as possible. No leisurely hang ups
on the scammers. So CJ. Small targeted by sophisticated scammers. Now,
also at the council meeting today, citizen Reggie Hill was
talking about a variety of things and he was somewhat testy. Uh. CJ.

(23:53):
Small interrupted Reggie Hill, and Reggie Hill told him to
stop interrupting me. So yes, and then uh Reggie Hill
went on to talk about how the city seems to
be more concerned about the alligator in Langen Parks Lake
than the actual citizens. So here's a little bit of

(24:15):
Reggie being testy with the council and.

Speaker 10 (24:18):
Those people primarily in the entire district are getting notified,
just not those in three hundred rats.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Now let's look, please at excuse that is the topic.

Speaker 10 (24:28):
So I asked my time be paused, well, because this
happens often all the time as well.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Six four zero two three.

Speaker 10 (24:34):
If you're unfamiliar, this is dealing with that same UDC
information that was in the pope here, So please stop
interrupted me when I know I'm on topic, all right,
so let's go, please.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
So please stop interrupting me. He tells you know this
is uh. It might be fun to go up there
and speak to the council this way, but in the
long run, just in the long run, does Reggie Hill
think this is going to help in the long run.

(25:05):
It may be satisfying in the short term, but in
the long run will this help? Will this type of
relationship help with c J small to.

Speaker 10 (25:16):
This zero one does seven sixty two. It was amazing
to me this morning where we were contemplating over ten
million dollars about you know, the way transit. So, because
my time has been kind of altered with the interruption,
I don't have time to get into this fully, but
I think we should look at creating.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
Some partnership with the Mobile County Commission.

Speaker 10 (25:37):
I think it will serve us better in that in
that light, since we have this time frame to go over,
our wait to get more specifics as we move into that.
Let's move please to this is twenty one, that's seven
four five, and this is the fifteen million dollars for
the dredger at Langenn Park. Many of us grew up
with it being called Muni for park unfortunately, and this

(25:57):
is something I think in time we need to do.
I grew up having several events there, But right now
it seems as if the alligator at the park is
getting more attention than the citizens. We have citizens who
are being displaced from their homes. But yeah, we're putting
more effortentage that alligators put away, properly wrapped it down,
taking care of the people who actually pay taxes to
the city. I think if we can find fifteen million

(26:19):
dollars for something such as this, just at one part,
we really have to look at what we're doing with
public housing, what we're doing with infrastructure.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
We know that the summer here is quickly approaching.

Speaker 10 (26:29):
We had some information maybe a couple of weeks ago
that said we were a few percent under from year
to date. But homicide increases usually around this time in
the Ceitomobile. And I'm not saying this to speak negative.
We're just stating on the facts and realities that we've
seen over the years. So I'd rather see us have
the same level of enthusiasm and effort invested into initiatives
that are going to be most imperative for the citizens

(26:50):
of Mobile rather than things that just look right, particularly
around campaign season.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
This is nothing to MS Gregor.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
I think it's consistent that she has been working diligently
in her community to get these have a project.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Now, and I apologize, Listen. I was almost hypnotized by
his continuous speak. The man speaks at almost every city
council meeting. But to what end that would be? I'm
just that question is out there just for him. To

(27:23):
what end is there? Ever? Is there ever anything accomplished
by all this talking, because I don't think is there
a secret scoring system at the city council meetings? Is
he getting as somebody is? If I go and speak
at six straight council meetings, can I get like a
coupon for a free appetizer at Longhorn or something. I'm

(27:47):
trying to figure this out.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
There.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, there is a more show to come. Uncle Henry
Show proceeds here on news radio seven to ten WNTM,
which for an accident on gren Bay, Wilmer Rude at
the risk Uncle Henry Show, News Radio seven to ten WNTM.

(28:21):
It is five fifty news headlines coming up in ten minutes.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Hello Color, Hey Oren, how you doing?

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Snake trapper? Snake trapper? You are live on the radio.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Oh for Henry, we are very heavy into a turtle
nesting season a man had. I've seen a lot of
activity over this past weekend. For one, I woke up
Saturday morning, I walked out into my garage followed by
eight o'clock, and there is a big, old yellow belly
slider had done their nest and was in the process

(28:57):
of laying her eggs.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Oh wow, A little bit.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yeah. I took a little video of it and posted
on the on page. But over Henry, Uh, Man, you
don't get an opportunity to have turtle eggs very often.
So uh, I'd be dang if I was gonna let
the crows get them. It was a young turtle. She
had probably about seven eggs, and so I did. I
did get them, and uh to keep the crows from

(29:20):
getting them. Wouldn't have done it if they would have
been in danger or in any kind of trouble. But
the lake out here is overrun with them, so I
chose to I guess as uh, Chris would say, kill them.
But man, they made one heck of an almond.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Oh you you you ate? Wait a minute, so you
ate a turtle egg omelet? When when did you eat this?

Speaker 4 (29:44):
I did it Sunday morning, Over Henry, I don't get
too many.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Now, now, wait a minute, you gotta let me ask
questions about this. Yes, sir, did you share the omelett
with missus snake.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Trapper over Henry? Uh? Missus snake Trapper would have run
me off that she would have knew what I was
up to. So no, I did not, and she would
not have partake in that that omelet. She loves almeonds though,
But I mean, I think if I wouldn't have told her,
she probably wouldn't know the difference between the turtle egg
or chicken eggs. But no, sir, she did not want.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Now what did you? Did any other family member taste
your turtle omelet?

Speaker 4 (30:24):
No, surve they did not. Unfortunately, seven turtle eggs is probably,
uh is the equivalent to probably about three chicken eggs.
What wasn't really much to share?

Speaker 1 (30:34):
What did you put in your turtle omelet?

Speaker 4 (30:38):
I put some fresh cut chop, spinach, tomatoes, onions, and
a little bit of salt and pepper over Henry and
a little bit of cherry cheese, okay, and it was wonderful.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
But also I'd like to tell people out there radio
land on Henry to kind of be aware because, like
I said, we are at the peak of turtle season.
There was a huge yellow belly slider hit Saturday evening
at the entrance of our neighborhood. Now, it was pretty
horrific and that's probably one of the bite as big
as the yellow belly sliders get. It was probably close

(31:15):
to a twenty pound turtle. And a turtle that size, Henry,
we'll we'll wreck a car and on. On my commute
to work this morning, I couldn't tell if it was
a box turtle or a gopher turtle was crossing the road. So, uh,
it was dead in the middle of it, and it
looked like it was safe, So I did not stop

(31:35):
to aid that one on across the road.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Now, I've never heard this. I've never heard that a
twenty pound turtle could wreck your car. I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Well, and that's a good sized turtle. And if you
do it probably seventy plus miles an hour and hit
that yes, sir, it's very it could cause you to
lose control of your car. This one here was a
large one. Now, I don't know if the turtle made it.
I got out and checked it out. You know, the
neighbor next door to me told me that one had
got to get there, and time I got to it

(32:05):
and it doesn't make its way into the neighborhood, hit
it back towards the pond, and they probably left the
pond to lay eggs. Said, they are in the middle
of nestity. People will be seeing a lot of turtle
activity next a couple of months. But uh man, this
one here, it was pretty bad on Henry. I don't
I don't know if it would survive its injuries, but uh,

(32:25):
I you know, there wasn't much I can do about it,
and just but just let it go on. It's it's
merry way. But uh yeah, man, it's uh you know,
I just want people to out there to just be
aware that this is the peak of the season now,
to to look for them, because turtles don't dart out
in front of you. They cross the road very slow,
so you can, uh you can't miss them if you

(32:46):
if you're just aware of what's out front of you.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
All right, Well snak Trevor, thank you for sharing this,
this this very somber story about turtle season.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yes, Aaron Henry, some of them need help. The gophers
and the box turtles do kind of need a little
bit of help because people like Grandma's you know, she
would not pass up one over in her she's been
passed since eighty six, and she encouraged us to to
get a gopher turtle every chance we got. But you know,

(33:20):
I know that since eighty six, I have not fooled
with many gophers at all, but one one hit on
side the road over, Henry. I'm not gonna let it.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Go waste, gotcha?

Speaker 5 (33:30):
All right?

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Well, hey, thank you so much for this. I really
appreciate this update.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yes, sir, and you have a good day.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Bus there we goes this negress. See this is the
This is good information for you. You don't want to inadvertently
in the life of a turtle when you're out and
about unless they're laying eggs and and you're hungry for
an omelet, and then you've got to I know, there's
different situations. There's situational ethics, and when the turtle is

(34:01):
just out and about, you want to make sure that
you're helping the turtle. But if it's laying eggs, then
depends do you like them let's or not. There is
more to come. Yes, there's some Uncle Henry show to
come after the news break here on news Radio seven

(34:24):
to ten WNTM, and of course previous shows available as
podcasts on the iHeartRadio app. Fun It says, the Uncle

(34:51):
Henry Show here on news Radio seven ten WNTM. In
this half hour of show, to get to some voicemails,
maybe a news item or two voicemail number if you'd
like to leave a message for me and for the
radio listener. The voicemail number for the Uncle Henry Show

(35:13):
is two five to one two one six, nineteen seventy six. Yes,
this is a number that I've only been using this year.
This is a new voicemail number, two five to one
two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five one
two one six, nineteen seventy six. I've had a bunch
of messages stacked up over the Memorial Day holiday weekend

(35:36):
and over the last couple of weeks. So let me
get to some messages that has stacked up. Let me
start with LD. Now we called him the Mad Trucker,
but he's retired. Now I don't know if he's just
LD or LD the retired Mad Trucker. I don't know
exactly how they handle will work going forward, But here

(35:56):
is the former the formerly employed man truck or LB.

Speaker 11 (36:02):
Hey, Uncle Henry LB. You know these people, these illegals
that we keep arresting and sending back and off. Everyone's
upset about that. They're saying that Holmes Home Building is
coming to a halt. Construction of every type that's coming
to a halt. Let me let me just ask this.

(36:25):
And I hate to do this. I got to do it,
Uncle Henry, the people that hired them on these job
sites that they go to and they arrest these people. Yeah,
what about a five thousand, ten thousand dollars fine per
illegal you hired?

Speaker 4 (36:39):
How about that?

Speaker 11 (36:40):
How about no one would ever want to come into
this country because you couldn't be hired illegally because if
you got caught, if your employer got caught, he was
going to suffer dire quin consequences. This would have never happened.
All these people flooding in from all these cun thinking
they were going to get a free ride would have

(37:03):
never shown up because five to ten thousand dollars per
illegal hired on your job site. No, I wouldn't have
done it. I would have took the chance. But we're
just letting these we letting these employers off scott free.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
This is ridiculous, all right, l.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
D thank you very much for your voicemail on this topic.
This comes up every few years and has over the
course of several decades here of hosting the l. Klanber Show.
What you brought up versus what employers say? Now, remember
I remember somebody did a story during the Obama years

(37:45):
where local farmers claimed that American workers just would not
take the jobs. Now we've been told this. Now maybe
you've not been told at LD, but we hear it
from the employers. The employers are claiming that they cannot
hire Americans, that people born in this country won't do

(38:06):
the type of work that those that are crossing the
border illegally will do. In fact, here's just a little
bit of a story from back during the Obama years.
One of the local TV stations did this. I think
this was WKRG. They did this story. And listen to
the employer. You're going to hear an employer claim that

(38:30):
Americans just won't do the work.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
There's no roots, no stems in them.

Speaker 12 (38:35):
Juseppiber tourists and his family have used migrant workers on
their Baldwin County farm for decades. The Americans aren't going
to get out in the heat and work.

Speaker 13 (38:44):
They're not going to bend their back all day long,
and they're not gonna work.

Speaker 12 (38:48):
And they're not as hard a workers as Hispanics.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
But so American workers not as hard a workers as Hispanics. Now, No,
Ld as a guy I can imagine to Ld hearing this,
because whether you like him or not, I think he's
one of the hardest working people I've ever met. But
that's what they're claiming. You heard the claim that American
workers will not work as hard as the migrants, as

(39:14):
the people coming in here illegally, Patura says.

Speaker 12 (39:18):
Last week, as migrant workers walked off the job and
moved out of Alabama afraid of the state's new immigration law,
Patura says less help in the fields could mean higher
prices that produce stands.

Speaker 7 (39:31):
It's going to drastically affect the consumer.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Paturists. All right, and here's another guy that was hiring
the migrant workers.

Speaker 13 (39:41):
Well, you used to start talking about picking potatoes off
the ground.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
We've got nobody to do that. So we've tried it
this year and they couldn't take the heat. All right,
so anyway, LD, I'm sharing all that old stuff from
years ago. Just that's what you'll hear. You make the
argument about finding them five grand, ten grand per per illegal,
their response is that they can't find an American, they

(40:08):
can't find a young LD to go and do the work.
That's that's that's what you'll hear from them when you
put that to them. But is that what it'll tank?
Would it take five grand or ten grand finds per
illegal to get it done? I don't know. I have
no idea. Two five one two one six, nineteen seventy

(40:29):
six the number if you want to leave a message
for the uncleanry show. Two five to one two one six,
nineteen seventy six. Speaking of the people coming in illegally
and people rushing to their defense. Here's a voicemail from
the Snake Trapper about one of those congress ladies that

(40:49):
uh physically attacked agents of ice. Do you remember when
that happened?

Speaker 13 (40:55):
Hey over, Henry Snake Trapper, Hey man, I want to
come in on this. La Monica mcgever a representative for
New Jersey. She just had charges brought against her for
assaulting a couple of vice agents. Uncle Henry she's claiming
her innocence. But the American people are not stupid. They

(41:18):
can clearly see the video of her elbowing and fish
slinging trying to get through a detention center, Uncle Henry.
She has come out and declared war. I've seen a
video where she said shut down the city. We are
at war, Uncle Henry. The constitution gives me a right

(41:41):
to bear arms to protect that document and for representative
to come out and declare war against her, I'm not
the smartest person in the world over Hendry, but I
consider myself as to being wise, and that is deviling.
Not why because here they are wanting to take our

(42:02):
guns and also in the same breath declared war against
US people in New Jersey. This is a very dangerous woman.
Y'all need to vote her out.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
One question to ask, sorry to interrupt snakekrit Trapper, would
be she's willing to throw her weight around physically for
the illegals of the Ice detention facility. Has she ever
has she ever defended an American citizen or one of
her actual constituents with the same gusto that she's defending

(42:36):
people that are sneaking into the country.

Speaker 13 (42:39):
She definitely assaulted ICE agents of Jake Tapper trying to
sell this book has come out and said that the
Democrat's biggest problem is to try and to tell the
American people that what their eyes is seen is not true.
I'm no Jake Tapper fan, but it does seem like

(43:02):
he is reaching a sense of reality and it may
be the book.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
I ain't gonna pause there because the amount of time
for this segment. Stand by Snake Trapper Voicemail. Back with more.
Uncle Henry Show after the break here on news Radio
seventy ten WNTM. Let's go ahead and let's take the break.

(43:41):
Uncle Henry Shown, News Radio seven to ten WNTM. News
headlines coming up in ten minutes. Before we get to
the news headlines, I'm going to some voicemail from listeners
that has done stacked up over the long holiday weekend. Now,
Snake Trapper, We're in the middle of a Snake Trapper
voice mail about this congress lady up in New Jersey

(44:04):
that is accused of assaulting ICE agents when she busted
into an ICE facility up there trying to trying to
defend the illegal aliens and allegedly assaulting the ICE employees. Now,
let's go back. Let me let Snake Tramper finish his

(44:25):
voicemail about the Lady about the Congress.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
Lady book has.

Speaker 13 (44:30):
Come out and said that the Democrats, well, now.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
He's talking about Jake Tapper in his book Salted Ice Agents.

Speaker 13 (44:39):
Jake Tapper trying to sell his book has come out
and said that the Democrats' biggest problem is to trying
to tell the American people that what their eyes is
seen is not true. I'm know Jake Tapper fan, but
it does seem like he is reaching a sense of reality.

(45:01):
Why And it may be just because he wants to
sell a book, but.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
He may accidentally say something true because he's trying to
sell a book, But I don't know that he himself
believes it or has reached a reality.

Speaker 13 (45:14):
This woman definitely needs to be made an example of.
I hope that you know they hold her accountable, and
it looks like they may be, since they're bringing charges.
But people in New Jersey, y'all are better than that.
You do not need a radical trying to represent you

(45:37):
and then turning around and declapping war against you.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Man.

Speaker 13 (45:41):
This is absolutely disgusting. Go watch the video. I don't
know how that they will not find her guilty. She
clearly there are protocols. The woman has a right to
inspect that facility. But you can't just show up and
say I'm barging my way in. No, you got to
go through proper protocols because there are very dangerous people

(46:03):
in there, and they don't want people just walking in
with drugs. I said, go through the right protocols and
do the right thing, but don't go fighting your way in.
She's an idiot, Uncle Henry, you have a good day.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Mind well, snag Trapper, thank you. I love the idea
of you, Snake Trapper, advising a congress person on how
to conduct their Dude. I like that. I wish I
wish that Congress were forced to listen to Snake Trapper
or watch a video of him before both political parties.

(46:36):
I wish they both, both the Democrats and the Republicans
had to listen to Snake Trapper before they conducted themselves
on a daily basis. They might do a better job
knowing that there was actual, real constituents out here that
would just like to see the Constitution followed. Snake Trapper,
thank you for your voicemail voice my number two five
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. That's two five

(46:59):
one two one six, nineteen seventy six. To leave a
message for the uncle Henry show the way that snake
Trapper did and the way that LD did. Oh. Speaking
of LD, we had a voicemail from LD in the
first segment of this half hour. He left a message

(47:19):
over the long weekend. I think he was calling from
the Wallace Tunnel. Yes, let's listen together. This is a
brief one from LD from the Wallast tunnel.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Hey, Ohry LD, As I sit in the tunnel not
moving at all. You know the speed limit is forty
five to here. I think it's fifty five. Why are
we going to slow? I mean, there's no reason to
be going that slow in here. We should be gunn
it we? Like I said over and over and over,
you need to put a sign on both ends of
this tunnel. How fast or how slow? How slow would

(47:55):
you go through the tunnel if you knew it could
collapse at any second? Maybe that'll change.

Speaker 9 (48:01):
Things, but I doubt it right now.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
That is, I've never heard of a speed sign that
would ask a question how fast would you How fast
would you go if you thought the tunnel was collapsing.
Why why are people going slow through the tunnel? Well,
one reason. One reason is that you in many cases,

(48:28):
depending on the direction, you can't see out the end
of the tunnel. Now, if you're if you're heading into
the tunnel going west, for example, let's say you're going
into the Wallast Tunnel west bound. Now if I and

(48:50):
I never take the Wallast Tunnel because I don't like
getting stuck in it. But from my memory of the
Wallast Tunnel, if I'm sitting, if I'm if I'm waiting
in the Waters Tunnel or driving through it, and if
you're looking directly ahead of you going west, all you
see is a brick wall. That's what you see. They've

(49:11):
got that stupid turn right there at the end of
the tunnel. So if you're heading west, you see a
brick wall. Now, most people, when they can't tell what's
ahead of them, they're going to slow down because they
don't want to run into a brick wall, or they

(49:33):
don't know if there's a car broken down right past
that turn. So I can understand going west why you'd
slow down, Because if you've never been through that tunnel before,
you don't know what's up there? See a brick wall
ahead of you. You're not going to go fifty five
into a brick wall now going eastbound, that's different. That's

(49:54):
a different kind of story, LD, and I'm with you.
I don't know exactly why people go as slow as
they do, but maybe it's just fear of the unknown. LD.
Thank you for your voicemail voicemail number two five one
two one six, nineteen seventy six, out of time. As
they say in Sarland, have a good one, and as

(50:14):
they say in Theodore, take it easy all right Later
