2:17
of traction and they've had several screenings here in the area. More coming up
2:23
this weekend. So Ashley is going to join us briefly to talk about that.
2:25
Plus, your phone calls and text are welcome. Well. Of course,
2:28
last night it was the state of the State Governor Jim Justice, the
2:32
final one of the Justice regime, if you will, it's kind of a
2:36
harsh term. Stephen Allen Adams is with us. Steve, good morning,
2:38
how are you, Good morning, Dave happy to be here. And Brad
2:42
Backlhenny, our own metroduced correspond He's at the Capitol right now. Brad,
2:46
good morning, how are you Hey? Good morning. I am standing in
2:49
a newly renovated walkway on the Senate side and it is still a construction zone,
2:53
but it's quite lovely, all right, Warmer than it used to be.
2:58
Well, I love the love plastic cheating time of year. And I
3:01
hear that your guys quarters there has been newly renovated. I haven't been down
3:07
there, is it. The press cord looking pretty good and not renovated per
3:10
se. But we got working air conditioning, so that's that's helpful in a
3:15
building. Yeah, it just cleaned up a little bit. There's a TV,
3:17
there's coffee. Yeah, it's looking it's getting better. Right, he'd
3:21
probably put a Hampton in, but without the breakfast. It's probably nicer than
3:24
all of our apartments that we had our first apartments in college or when we
3:28
just started out. All right. So so the speech pretty much what we've
3:31
come to expect from a state of the State from Jim Justice. Lots of
3:35
crowd recognition, lots of folksy colloquialisms, so to speak. Brad, let's
3:39
start with you overall, then we'll get specific your take on the state of
3:43
the state. Last night. I thought it was a lot of reminiscing.
3:46
This was, in fact a bookend, and it makes sense that the governor
3:51
would want to come full circle oratorially, so he reflected on the beginning of
3:58
his time in office, which was you know, he came on and there
4:00
was a budget crisis, a lot of conflict about how to resolve that,
4:04
and the state may not be on perfect footing, but it is on much
4:10
better footing financially, to the point that state officials instituted a twenty one point
4:15
twenty five percent personal income tax cut that is going into effect now. So
4:21
a lot of you know, frankly circling the bases, and I thought that
4:27
in general that was appropriate. If your listeners heard the speech or watched it,
4:33
I'd be interested in their perception about the ratio of reminiscing to getting down
4:40
the business and talking actual tangible bullet points, because there were there were few
4:47
of those. You know. The high points were five percent pay raise for
4:53
state employees and educators. That's that's one thing the governor is advocating. Just
4:59
really quickly. He went through six or seven economic development announcements those would have
5:03
been the centerpiece of any other State of the State speech, and then a
5:09
few other policy points, three more modest suggestions for tax cuts. So that
5:16
was my impression was it was heavy on being sort of the grand finale and
5:23
much shorter on tangibles. Stephen sure, well it was a little long,
5:27
but you can forgive him for that. This is his final state of state.
5:30
This is his state of the state. So going a little bit long,
5:34
you can give him that. And I agree with Brad. There was
5:36
a lot of reminiscing looking back what he inherited when he came in back in
5:42
twenty seventeen, all the things that have he's accomplished since then. You can
5:46
expect that, I will say that a lot of what he talked about last
5:50
night, about what he wants to do, particularly with some of these projects,
5:55
are one time expenditures, either supplemental appropriations or money that would be paid
6:00
of available surplus at the end of this fiscal year for various projects. And
6:05
I kind of got the impression it was a little lackluster to some extent,
6:11
because a lot of that's going to change between now and day six, especially
6:14
when it hits the brick wall that is Senate Finance Committee Chairman Eric tar and
6:17
I want to get to that. You know, you talked about this spending
6:20
package, both of you have alluded to it about four hundred million dollars,
6:25
including a raise for teachers and state employees. Now, the afore mentioned Senate
6:28
financier Eric tar Is saying the money isn't there, and he referred to it
6:32
as nothing more than a political stunt from candidate for US Senate Jim Justice,
6:39
who made that official by the way, yesterday, maybe as opposed to Governor
6:43
Jim Justice. Your thoughts, Steven, Well, it is interesting, especially
6:46
when you talk about the modest tax cut proposals that the governor has offered.
6:51
One would be another increase in the homestead exemption that primarily benefits seniors, finally
6:58
exempting all Social Security and come from the income tax. We do that kind
7:02
of partially now, but if that's expanding further, that's something else that benefits
7:06
seniors, which of course are the majority of this population in the state of
7:11
West Virginia and who vote. So there's I think things to be said there.
7:15
Certainly with the one hundred and twenty three million that you would do for
7:18
a five percent pay raise, which the teacher seatings are really kind of without
7:24
saying that directly is more of a cost of living adjustment because it will cover
7:28
EA premium increases. But is it truly a pay raise. I mean,
7:31
there's certainly some things to pick apart here that certainly myself, Brad and other
7:36
reporters will do in the coming days because it's some of this is I do
7:42
feel aimed at trying to move voters, but also trying not to make too
7:46
many waves to push voters away. Would you agree with that, Brad or
7:51
you can take it however that you want. What Senator tar said he saw
7:55
it as as more of a political stunt. That's the way he referred to
7:58
it, his words. When either you were after somebody caught up with him
8:01
afterwards. Your take on that, that was Jeff Jenkins, and it was
8:05
a good get because that was one of the big questions coming out of this
8:07
is all right, the governor is proposing, but what will Senate Finance Chairman
8:11
taur do as far as disposing. I don't know that I agree with the
8:16
political assessments. I mean, I think the governor is making a general case
8:22
that the state is on much more solid financial putting, and that lends itself
8:26
to a Senate campaign. But these proposals themselves, they're just not that splashy.
8:33
I mean, there is a logical reason when state employees are facing increased
8:37
costs, including for insurance, that you would provide a pay raise. Those
8:43
state workers do vote, Davie or state worker, you vote, so it
8:48
doesn't hurt to keep them on your good side. But the rest of the
8:52
proposals are you know, just just not spending items that are you know,
8:58
if you're a listener there, can you even remember any of them? Yeah?

9:20
slash apprenticeships today, guys. Because I always look for the little things that
9:24
are probably insignificant to other people. The governor noted that he has driven,
9:28
and I'm very much paraphrasing here, but he has driven a million miles since
9:33
being a governor, gone through like four vehicles or something like that. My
9:37
thoughts would be that how fewer miles would have been driven had the governor just
9:43
lived in Charleston as the constitution requires. Yeah, most people. Yeah,
9:48
for sure, for sure. I mean I remember when Governor Tomblin was in
9:52
charge, it was always not uncommon to bump into him walking to and from
9:58
his offices in the west wing of the cap Real building in the Governor's mansion.
10:01
So one has to wonder, you know, compared to the miles versus
10:05
steps, who who who did more in that regards. It's one of those
10:09
things where, yeah, that's the one curiosity that you know, we're going
10:15
to kind of maybe miss I don't know, is these stories about the governor
10:18
driving in from from Louisbourg. And one hand he can say he's not charging
10:22
the taxpayers all this good stuff, which is what he tried to say last
10:26
night, but at the same time it also has dealt with, you know,
10:30
legal cases and things of that nature. Yeah, so it is worth
10:33
noting. I'm glad you brought that up. But he has said, and
10:35
I've not looked into it. I'm sure others have that he does not get
10:37
reimbursed from mile age, so that's on him and not the taxpayers. All
10:43
right, guys, I know you both have to work, but I guess
10:46
start getting down to it on budgets under the Dome Brad, you're there now,
10:50
what's up? Yes, so there are. The way it works every
10:54
year is the revenue side is presented by the administration first, either the Senate
11:00
Finance Committee or the House Finance Committee, and then they flip and the budget
11:03
side is presented to each I think the action, frankly is going to be
11:09
on the Senate side because of friend of the program Senate Finance Chairman Tar and
11:15
his discretion, you know, and he is a lightning rod. He is
11:20
often criticized, but you know, the spending of the public dollar deserves scrutiny,
11:26
and boy will send at a Tar provide that scrutiny. Steven Sure.
11:31
Two o'clock today, House Health Committee is going to be taking up a few
11:35
bills. While those bills is going to be requiring the new West Virginia First
11:37
Foundation, the foundation that is going to take some of the one billion dollar
11:41
opoid settlement money and take some of that and distribute it around. But it's
11:46
a private foundation. They don't have to abuy by public meeting laws. They're
11:50
not a government identity, even though there are government officials on the committee.
11:54
So there is a bill to require it to abide by the open Meetings Act
11:58
in order to keep it transparent. To their credit, they have been transparent
12:01
to this point. They've had they've let press, Brad and myself know in
12:05
others they're having meetings, but lawmakers would like to spell it out in uncertain
12:11
no uncertain terms, that they need to have public meetings. All right,
12:13
guys, I will say this to the listeners that if you want to know
12:16
what's going on continually in the age of social media, whatever, make sure

or Texas Dave, I'm an independent voter, just wonder why Justice didn't give
16:56
Biden more credit for job growth in the States. Well, I think and
17:00
I probably both know the answer to that. Texas. So if Justice is
17:03
driven an average are three hundred and ninety one miles a day in roughly seven
17:07
years, and he only drives to Charleston a couple of days a week at
17:11
most, where the blank else was he driving the other eight hundred and thirty
17:15
six thousand miles? He's lying, the Texter or something else. Texter says,
17:23
love how Justice peede all over green wackos just before lotting all the green

United Way of Central West Virginia based in Charles and angela callier is with this
18:03
this morning, as is Mindy Robinson. Angela, good morning, how are
18:06
you? Good morning? How are you? I'm fine And Mendy, good
18:08
morning to you as well. Good morning, doing fantastic now, so help
18:11
me help me figure all this out now? Okay? So because I know
18:14
I got the initial information from from from our good friend Margaret over at the
18:18
United Way. This is life Bridge and an AmeriCorps. I mean, how
18:23
does this work out here? So you know in a way is our sponsor
18:26
for our program life Bridge AmeriCorps. Okay, well are AmeriCorps program throughout the
18:30
sight of wes Virginia. Okay, I guys, I want to make sure
18:33
I get all that right now. There's a program a chitled the State Wide
18:37
Pantry Restock, and I understand it's been a it's been done all month in
18:41
honor of Martin Luther King month. So who wants to start to tell us
18:44
about it? Sure? I can so. Martin Luther King's vision is to
18:48
bring community and unity together, helping one another hand in hand. And we
18:52
had noticed that several pantries get hit really hard after the holidays, and we
18:56
wanted to see what we could do to helps circumvent that need in their communities.
19:02
And so all of our members, we have fifty of them at twenty
19:04
nine different sites all over the state of West Virginia from name name, all
19:07
members and all sites, Well, I can, I can. I don't
19:12
want to waste your time. So we do have members all the way up
19:18
in Ohio and Brook County, all the way down to McDowell County. We
19:21
have people in schools, We have individuals and homeless coalitions FRNs, all sorts
19:26
of different nonprofit organizations and that are in this Family Resource Network. I'm familiar
19:30
with the work that those folks do they do fantastic jobs. So what specifically
19:33
are we looking for here? Well, each we instead of calling it food
19:37
pantry, we just said pantry because certain places collect different things. We have
19:42
baby pantries, some clicked food and pet items, so it's each area has
19:48
their own. So we have nonperishable food items, baby items, things for
19:56
the homeless, collitions such as blankets, socks, things like that, and
20:02
so, like you said, a lot of these pantries collect different items.
20:04
So that's why the word food pantries, not that you automatically think of that.
20:07
I would think food probably makes it the bulk of it, but there
20:10
are other other items as well. Is there a place where people can go
20:15
to specifically see like what you need for certain areas or do you have anything
20:18
like that set up? We did well, well, we've been keeping our
20:21
Facebook page Live Bridge amer Corps up to date. But also you can call
20:25
the United Way of Central West Virginia at three four Oho thirty five hundred.
20:30
Is that correct? I don't call it too often, so it's like somebody
20:36
saying, what's your what's your phone n Nobody knows phone numbers at all anymore.
20:41
You just push a button on your phone. We go ahead. True,
20:42
so they can tell any anybody across this to all of our sites,
20:47
We've been given them up to date list on where the items can be dropped
20:51
off in all of ours, in all nineteen sites. Talk about the need
20:56
for these items. I mean, obviously they're depending on what you look at,
21:02
things are going pretty well, but there's still a lot of people that
21:06
are in need, so talk about those needs. Yeah. So we actually
21:10
had each of our members choose what pantry they wanted to support, So we
21:12
did not say, hey, go use this one, and we wanted them
21:17
to contact pantries in their area and say, hey, are you in need
21:21
and if so, what is it that you need specifically, and we can
21:23
try to help replenish that and need. So as far as items specific ones,
21:32
of course, food is really a big one because you know, groceries
21:33
and after the holidays, everyone's penny pension right now, well you know,
21:38
and there's a lot fewer pennies to pincher. Now, let me just say
21:41
this, your pennies aren't going as far as they what they used to do
21:44
because of inflation right now, yes, and the prices keep going up.
21:48
I mean, it's amazing for anyone that goes to their local grocery store,
21:52
no matter what it is, and they look at the price of something compared
21:56
to what it was two years ago, two and a half years ago.
21:57
So all of our members had noticed, like, are you know that these
22:03
people are the I'm let me phrase, the pantries are getting more increased numbers
22:08
than they've ever seen, even like COVID, Like it's almost COVID numbers,
22:12
which is crazy scary. And from what I hear from people that do your
22:17
sorts of things, Mandy and Angela, what I'm hearing is people that you've
22:22
never seen before are utilizing a lot of these pantries right now. I mean
22:25
people that not not there's any shame or stigma needing help or anything like that,
22:30
but people that had never ever leaned on something like that in the past
22:34
are suddenly happy to do that. Angela correct, Most time, a lot
22:38
of people think that it's maybe homeless that utilize food pantries, and even though
22:45
that's true, even more so, we're seeing even two income families still needing
22:52
to utilize food pantries and everything, and we want them to be able to
22:56
utilize those when and for it to be available so therefore, we didn't want
23:00
the shortage to affect the kids. We even have pantries, like in the
23:07
school pantries and Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College and Logan they keep a
23:11
food pantry for their students, so we want that to be available. And
23:18
this is what I've been told from people that work at some of these food
23:21
pantries and that operate them, whether it's out of a church or something similar
23:23
to a civic you know, or whatever it is that you're doing. They
23:27
have said that what you think of people using food pantries, and this is
23:33
what you just alluded to, is not actually reality. It's not necessarily the
23:37
homeless people, although they do help a lot of those. It's people that
23:40
are working. It's a lot of elderly people. You have a lot of
23:42
elderly people that are on a fixed income that it just doesn't go as far,
23:48
especially as I said earlier with the prices that we see in stores now
23:51
correct and like elderly, like you said, they utilize the pantries. They
23:57
We've talked to elderly that said, you know, they choose whether they purchase
24:02
their medicine or they go to the grocery. Store for the month, and
24:06
we don't ever want that to be, you know, the only option we
24:10
wanted to reach out, But it's numerous working families, elderly things like that
24:15
that are having that are struggling at the moment. So if people are listening
24:19
to us right now and they want logistics, they want of how's this whole
24:22
thing work at this restock the pantry, give us, give us the kind
24:26
kind of a summary on that. I mean, how's this whole thing working.
24:29
What's the best way for people to get involved. Yeah, So we
24:32
have our members actually created and decorated all of some boxes that we had them
24:37
put out into the communities that they're serving in the counties. Some of them
24:41
are just at local grocery stores, some of them like Kroger and Pickley Wiggily
24:45
or you can even go to local businesses. We've actually had some members reach
24:52
out to some businesses and say, hey, you want to have a family
24:55
or a competition amongst your staff, you can bring in stuff. So we've
24:59
been really creative as far as how to draw them in. But you can
25:03
certainly check out our social media. As far as Life Bridge America Corps.
25:08
We have created marketing packets for all of our sites and locations as far as
25:12
drop off locations even so be sure to check out that. But really,
25:18
if you're in the listening area and you're not sure where you can put your
25:23
donations, definitely called the United Way of Central West Virginia and we will certainly
25:27
put your donations to a good spot. Can you accept cash donations if somebody
25:32
would want to do that, Yes, we can. Actually you can donate
25:36
it to directly to the United Way of Central West Virginia and just say that
25:38
you want it to go towards the Life Bridge Americ Corps program Pantry Restock and
25:42
we can certainly make sure that those funds get directed towards. This is going
25:45
to be going on pretty much, you know, likes you said an Honor
25:48
Martin Luther King month right till the end of January. We're going to be
25:53
the boxes and the items will be collected and then distributed to the designated pain
26:00
trees that they've chosen. You Okay, it's twenty seven minutes away from ten

dot com? What's the buy in been like from the business community. You
26:27
mentioned that some of the stores have even had competition among their employees and things
26:32
of that nature. I guess what I'm asking is because I know I have
26:34
a lot of business people that listen to this show. I'm putting you on
26:37
a spot. Business people, sponsors of the show or whatever. What can
26:41
they do to get involved? If somebody has a car dealership, or they
26:44
have a doctor's office or law office or whatever, what can they do to
26:48
get involved? What wo'd be the best way for them to do it?
26:49
Yeah, so I know, I keep plugging the United Ways phone number,
26:53
and we will certainly provide boxes. We will certainly be able to come pick
26:57
up once those boxes are full and make sure that your hard work gets distributed
27:04
correctly. We would certainly love to partner with any program or other agency or
27:11
business out there that would be amazing. I had a text here to the
27:14
show, and for those if you're new to the show, I get more
27:17
text and phone calls. Somebody said that we're talking about animals and they wanted
27:22
to know do you do anything to help out animals. I know you're primarily
27:26
focused on people, but go ahead. Yeah, So we do have one
27:30
site that is directly helping as far as pet items. However, we also
27:37
know of other pantries in the area here as far as Kenawa County, and
27:41
if we don't know, we'll find it and we'll make use. Yeah.
27:45

Actor Ashley Stennett making his second appearance on the show. He's got this new
30:57
movie out. It's called The Good Fight. A lot of les film here
31:00
in West Virginia co stars John Schneider of Dukes of Hazard fame, and he's
31:04
going to join us to talk about some additional screenings for that movie that have
31:07
been added to the schedule. Texas Dave, when are we going to hear
31:11
about the good news of the Western India Democrats efforts to legalize cannabis. Now,
31:15
I'm a realist to know it won't happen due to republicans disdain for personal
31:18
freedoms and they're taliban like policies, but it would be nice to hear about
31:22
the efforts of the party that values personal freedom and responsibility. I do think
31:26
that you are going to hear some more about recreational cannabis on the in the
31:33
session. Rusty Web is with us right now. I've got the sarcasm in
31:36
that. Now you are. I think the Democrats are the party of personal
31:42
responsibility. Rusty Web making a cameo appearance with laughter this one. How are
31:48
you man? Fantastic great to have you here. Yeah, thanks for having
31:52
me. All right, So I was going to ask you, I actually
31:55
ask you this off the air last night. If you caught any of the
31:56
state of the state. But I've already got my answer. You said you
31:59
did not see much of the stay was watching Andy Griffith at the time,
32:04
which one doesn't matter. They're all good. So you didn't watch it,
32:08
okay, So what do you expect from the upcoming legislative session? You could
32:12
be nine uh so, here here's what. Here's what happens. When you
32:15
become the super majority. You think that everything is just going to be smooth.
32:21
But the fact is is, now you have factions, particularly in the
32:23
House of Delegates. So now what was your what what was your enemy at
32:29
one time was the opposing party? Now your enemy is are different factions that
32:35
you're trying to keep together to do things. For example, I think West
32:43
Virginia is going to eventually go to a sales tax. I mean, that's
32:45
that's clearly what the idea is. By reducing the income tax, you have
32:52
to make that revenue up somewhere else. And they the Republicans tried it in
32:58
one in one bill and it was defeated by the Republicans. Right, So,
33:04
how do Republicans meet Republicans because of factions? But now when you're down
33:08
to three and a half percent income tax. You're gonna have to make that
33:13
up. And I think the sales tax may be. And I don't know
33:15
if the governor mentioned it, because again I didn't watch it, But you
33:21
have to go to this sales tax, which I think I thought was a
33:23
brilliant idea. Ed Gaunch introduced it when he was a state senator. My
33:29
mother who's passed away, lived in Tennessee. It's wonderful. I have a
33:34
place in Florida. It's wonderful. It's just everybody pays their fair share.
33:38
Nobody cheats on a sales tax. The more you buy, the rich buy
33:43
more, they pay more, the poor by less, they pay less.
33:46
It's a very equitable, equal tax, and I think that's I think that's
33:52
where we're headed. But again, if nobody mentioned it last night, maybe
33:54
I'm totally off key. I don't recall that being mentioned. He did talk
33:59
about a lot about pay raises for state workers and for teachers, and then
34:04
Senator Tark afterwards and basically said, no, it's not going to happen.
34:07
He's not there. Let me let me get your opinion on this, and
34:09
then I'll get to why you're actually here today. There's been some talk about
34:13
capital punishment. Senate President Craig Blair has said he wants it for those that
34:17
are guilty of dealing fentanyl. Mike Stewart, former US attorney, current state
34:22
senator, attorney or candidate for Attorney General, who had scheduled to have on
34:24
the show tomorrow, just got a text from mister Stewart. He's not going
34:27
to be able to be here tomorrow because of commitments. Owner of the capital.
34:30
He's really pushing this thing. For give me the quick thirty to forty
34:32
five seconds on Rusty Webb's opinion on capital punishment in West Virginia. I've always
34:36
favored it under certain circumstances. But it's not going to pass now. I
34:40
don't. I'm not going to see the light of day either. But I
34:43
may have signed a few back in the back in the day when I was
34:45
down there. But you know, the argument against it is kind of an
34:50
odd argument. It says it's going to cost the taxpayers too much because of
34:52
all the appeals. Well, that's on capital punishment nationwide, is redit it
34:59
costs you much to execute someone, not not the actual execution, it's all
35:02
the peals and the money. Well, it's like ten to twelve years,
35:06
I mean before somebody actually goes down. All right, the real reason you're
35:08
here. You've been going around all over man handing out checks like Oprah.
35:13
Yeah know, you get money, get it, you get money, You
35:15
get a check. What's this all about? Well, I just felt like
35:20
after a six year battle, standing shoulder to shoulder with the county commissioners that
35:27
I represent and mayors that I represent, and it deserves that this moment deserves
35:36
something bigger than getting a check in the mail. And I'll say that most
35:38
of them opted for a check. Yes, this is the this is the
35:43
first check they'll receive. Uh, they will receive what thirteen total, thirteen
35:47
or fourteen told over the next thirteen years. And I just felt like the
35:52
first, you know, the first check should should be a big deal that
35:57
people should be able to, you know, mark this moment in time,
36:01
that this is when we can change change generational addiction in West Virginia. And
36:07
you're going to city councils big and small, I mean a couple of smaller
36:12
ones the other day. So what will the municipalities use this money for?
36:17
Well, the strings, you know, there are strings attached. There's about
36:21
a fifteen page document that was actually drafted by the Purdue in the Purdue bankruptcy
36:28
that we adopted for for West Virginia because it was it was vetted by hundreds
36:32
of lawyers around the country. It has strings and it basically if if there's
36:38
a direct or indirect way to educate, treat or abate which is a big
36:45
term we use in equity abate the drug problem, then and then you can
36:52
use it for that. But I mean, there's no guarantee it's going to
36:55
be used for that. No, no, it has to be used for
36:58
that. Matter of fact, there's a lot there's an auditing system that the
37:01
West Virginia First Trust Board will will audit every year. So they're not going
37:07
to use it to put on a No, you can't pave with it,
37:10
you can't pay, you're not gonna put on a car show with it,
37:13
or no. No, no no. There are streets attached. No no,
37:15
and that most of them, I think they should most of go in
37:19
a special revenue account. Okay. And the reason I bring that up is
37:21
because let's be honest with the arrested. And you know this, West Virginians
37:24
don't always have the best record. Those in power of using money what it's
37:29
designed for. And I'll give you the perfect example was tobacco. It's never
37:32
been used for its purpose for an never education used. We're still getting tobacco
37:38
checks from the nineties and it's never been used. And that's another criticism.
37:43
I have not another criticism, but the legislature should have They should, they
37:47
should, they should use the money the way it was supposed to be intended.
37:52
Let me ask you this. I want to ask you to defend your
37:53
profession for a moment. All right, now, we got attorney rusting way
37:55
up here. Some have said that some of the attorneys and some of these
38:00
cases are getting too big a slice of the proverbial pie. Your thoughts on.
38:02
It's not true at all. Again, I've been in the car with
38:08
the Attorney General and he will literally say, you know, I'm trying to
38:13
get the fees lower, right, And he goes, you understand, right,
38:15
And I said, yeah, I understand, but let me let me
38:17
just give you before and after. Okay, his predecessor paid thirty to forty
38:23
percent contingency fee on these types of cases. Okay, do you know what
38:30
the Attorney general's effective rate was for his attorneys? What is that seven point
38:35
five percent. That's a huge deduction difference. Okay, Again, the panel,
38:42
the West Virginia Supreme Court appointed MLP Multi Litigation Panel, determined that fifteen
38:51
percent of the gross amount was an appropriate amount to pay the attorneys for the
38:57
cities and counties and for the attorneys who what we called did the work,
39:02
did the work. You know, everybody refers cases. Nobody does the work,
39:07
right, so somebody has to do the work. That was fifteen percent.
39:12
That is at least half of what used to be passed out in this
39:15
state, and maybe less than half if it's forty percent. So those critics
39:22
are it's it apparently I don't know who they are, but it's apparently politically
39:27
driven because it's not factually correl One of those has been our good friend Greg
39:30
Thomas, who's frequently on the show for Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse. And I
39:34
know I had the attorney general and candidate for Governor, Patrick Morrissey on the
39:37
show earlier. It was Tuesday of this week, and he wanted to specifically
39:43
address that because I didn't have it all the list of things to talk about,
39:45
and he kind of jumped in there and said, hey, before we
39:47
close, you can go back and listen to the show from Tuesday before we
39:51
close. I want to address this and he pretty much said the same thing
39:52
you're saying now. Well, he actually the way it worked was a special
39:58
commissioner made a recomd condation to the panel, and there's an opportunity for objections.
40:02
Well, the Attorney General filed objections to the fifteen percent. He wanted
40:07
it to be what his rate is, which is his effective rate. He
40:13
does this diminishing You know you've seen the diminishing premium on insurance. Yea,
40:17
that's the way he scales it. The higher, the higher the amount,
40:21
the lower the fee. And he wanted it to be a seven point five
40:24
percent effective rate like his was, and they overruled his objections. But he
40:29
tried the turnty rusty webs here at Dave Allen showing five any line brought to

40:55
Mister Webb finished for right now. I'm going to come back and revisit
41:02
the towns that I'm going to go ahead and send them the checks. But
41:06
the towns that I missed, I'm going to come back and we're gonna We're
41:09
going to give it a rest during the legislative session because I know these mayors
41:14
are going to be busy, So I'm going to revisit it right after the
41:19
legislative session and finish them off with. I'm going to send them checks.
41:23
You're going to finish them all. Yeah, yeah, that's the words.
41:27
But I'm going to complete I'm going to complete singing all the clients. And
41:31
it's not just about that. It's about me appreciating them allowing me to represent
41:37
them. I mean, it's it's a big deal to me when someone hires
41:39
me, and I want to show my appreciation and I want to thank them
41:44
personally at some of these times. And I don't know, I mean,
41:46
drugs are a problem nationwide. We all know that. I mean, that's
41:50
like the dumbest statement of the year. However, I don't think sometimes rusty,
41:54
And maybe it's because I'm a little a little closer to the situation because
41:58
of where I'm from. From southern West Virginia. You see drug issues in
42:01
Charleston, Huntington and all these places, But there are towns, particularly in
42:06
southern West Virginia, that have been completely devastated. I mean, I'm from
42:10
Logan and Madison. I know where there you go, and I went to
42:15
Logan, I went to Logan and Gate. That was my last check.
42:17
Literally, Logan down to Serafino Mayor and Noletti and those fine folks down them
42:23
him, I love him. But but what my point is is that,
42:27
you know, Huntington has kind of been the center of the OBII crisis.
42:30
The Lord knows that those folks have suffered so much there. But and I'm
42:36
not pitting one town against no that the town is still there. I mean,
42:37
Marshall University is still doing what it does, and the hospitals still doing
42:40
what to do. Go down to places in McDowell County and look look at
42:45
what they have what's been done there. Entire freaking towns have been wiped out,
42:51
wiped out and I don't think sometimes maybe our listeners don't understand what this
42:57
the devastation that this crap has has put on people starting going back, you
43:01
know, from the pill the pill mill days up to up the current.
43:06
You know, so well, doing good work out there, man, appreciate
43:08
it. Thank you. Let me just say one more thingking have that I
43:12
have. I have received a couple of questions about individual claims. The individual
43:20
claims were all made if you hired an attorney or you hired me for that
43:24
matter, for an individual claim as relates rerated to addiction to opioids. Those
43:31
claims were all made in the Purdue bankruptcy and that is pending before the US.
43:36
Okay, because I actually have a text here about that. Somebody said,
43:39
do you have checks for families or lost love once their money? Not
43:42
the states or the counties or the city. So explain now, if you
43:45
filed a claim with the Purdue bankruptcy, you should receive some some monies.
43:52
If you did not file a claim with the Purdue bankruptcy, there are no
43:55
individual checks that are going to be just how does one go about that?
43:59
Way? It's done. It's okay. So you had to file with the
44:01
it was was two years ago. Two years ago was the filing. So
44:05
if they've not done that, they're not going to get anything, not no
44:07
individual money, not out of this money, uh, not anywhere until Purdue
44:13
is resolved. So what you're doing, you're handing out is not it's for
44:15
the towns. It's not for individuals, not for individuals. The only money
44:20
will come from Purdue. From Purdue, all right, that's it. Rusty

I've always ran off business. Now we are a Republican majority of the state
47:37
is being run like a business. Text says Dave. Not to recreational marijuana
47:42
in West Virginia. Too much addiction in West Virginia and this nation. This
47:45
is simply common sense, says that text. All Right, I told you
47:47
a few weeks ago about this movie that definitely has a West Virginia vibe to
47:52
it. It's called The Good Fight. A lot of it filmed at West
47:53
Virginia. Stars a West Virginia guy coloding to be exact by the name of
47:58
Ashley Stinnett. This movie's turning out to be a head. A couple of
48:00
screenings have already been held around the state. More a coming. The start
48:04
of the film, West Virginia native athlete Stennett returns to the show, Ashley,
48:07
good morning, how are you? Hey? Good morning, Dave.
48:09
I'm doing great, my friend, how are you doing? They've got limited
48:12
time, so I want to get right to it. What has the response
48:15
been so far? It's been amazing. It's been humbling. Last weekend,
48:20
The Good Fight was the top growthing movie in this entire market, which is
48:27
pretty amazing. We had sold out crowds and Huntington and Taye Valley. The
48:30
great news is the movie is going to be back at Marquis Cinemas in Huntington,
48:36
South Ridge, South Charleston, and in Beckley this coming weekend. So
48:40
it's been a great grassroots effort. And I should add it's also coming back
48:45
to Tay Valley, so it's basically playing in the largest market in the state.
48:50
If we have another good weekend, it's absolutely moving beyond the West Virginia
48:54
borders, which is great. I mean, this is not about me,
49:00
h. This is about showing the rest of the country that West Virginians can
49:06
make high quality motion pictures. You know, we can compete with you know,
49:10
La New York and Atlanta. So we're just really encouraging people to uh,
49:15
you know, pack those theaters. You know, it's a good film.
49:20
It's a faith based boxing movie, and you can bring kids. It's
49:23
you know, it's a family, family film. And last weekend was tremendous,
49:29
it really was. And you're headed where again this weekend. Yeah,
49:32
this weekend the movie. We will be playing at Marquee Cinemas in Huntington,
49:37
Charleston, which is the south Ridge Marquee Cinemas, and also the Marquee Cinemas
49:43
in Beckley. And some of the Facebook pages are showing the movie trailer.
49:50
You can check their websites for showtimes and listings and ticket information. But it'll
49:54
be playing all weekend across the southern half of West Virginia at cinemas. All
50:00
right, is there a good place? I know you said some of the
50:02
movie places are showing trailers, but as there like a simple Facebook page or
50:07
a website where people can learn specifically about this, hit that, and then
50:09
I got to cut you loose. Yeah, it's super easy. The Good
50:13
Fight official movie page. Find it on Facebook. You can watch the trailer
50:16
and again Huntington, Kay's Valley, Charleston and Beckley be in the theaters.
50:21
It's a great weekend to go to the movies. Indeed it is, Ashley.
50:23
I appreciate you being here, man, Thanks a lot, Thanks a
50:27
friend. All Right, Ashley, send it. Can you go check out
50:29
this movie again? Plenty of opportunities to do it. Three minutes away from

Amorican America's largest injury law firm. Do you want to remind you that one
50:38
week from the day, we are teaming up with our friends, the title
50:42
sponsors of the show here, the Thorn Toldo Group, help out our neighbors
50:45
in need. We're asking you to bring new socks to our studios here at
50:49
eleven eleven at Virginia Street eating Virginia Street East and Charleston one week from the
50:52
day. We'll start early in the morning, go till about eight or so
50:55
in the morning until about six o'clock at night. Just drop off some new
50:59
socks. You can get them really really cheap. Will take cases of socks
51:00
or we'll take you know, as long as they're in a package. We
51:04
don't only use socks or anything like that. And we're going to give them
51:07
to those that could really use them as we head into a really really cold
51:10
weather pattern, especially starting next week and again that's next Thursday that we'll be
51:15
accept the notes here. It's all brought to you by thornhill Oider Group.
51:16
Tex says Dave, are you asking your listeners to think about other towns at
51:22
people other than themselves. Are you asking your listeners to have empathy for other
51:24
people? Dave? Are you becoming woke? I think that's a little sarcasm
51:29
there, Tex says, I like Rusty Webb. He's a plaintiffs attorney through
51:34
and through. Don't let him pretend otherwise. Ask him what all the money
51:36
he's made suing employers and businesses. Well, I'll let him defend that the
51:38
next time he's on the show. Tex says, Democrats like the earlier text
51:43
are calling Republicans of Taliban are exactly why so many people like me left that
51:47
party a long time ago. You can disagree with policy, that's fine,
51:51
but why do you people have to be so freaking nasty to others. Oh?
51:54
By the way, thanks to Jabber and Joe, the Taliban and noted
51:58
terrorist group now has probably the great to supply of US taxpayer funded military equipment
52:02
in the world. Remember that in November voters. All right, so the
52:07
packed show, we got through it, the A train and I pulled it
52:09
off. All right, we gotta go Hobby Live at the Capitol again coming
52:15
up at ten o six and the AARP Broadcast studios. My producer was the
52:21
a training Anthony Arma, Anthony, thank you so much tomorrow on the show.
