2:44
Speaker 4: off into a totally different direction this morning. Welcome to
2:48
Speaker 4: the show, sir.
2:48
Speaker 3: How are you good morning? I'm great. It's good to
2:50
Speaker 3: be back on It's been a little while, but I'm
2:53
Speaker 3: kind of lamenting the end of summer. So you know,
2:56
Speaker 3: school's getting back started, which is it's a good time
2:59
Speaker 3: of year, But man, I love summertime. I love family
3:01
Speaker 3: vacation doing all this fun.
3:03
Speaker 4: Because you're oosusly for Nicholas.
3:04
Speaker 3: County, right I am originally, and I mean it snows
3:07
Speaker 3: there in June, right, Yeah, it does get a lot
3:09
Speaker 3: of snow, but with the short summers up in that area,
3:12
Speaker 3: they pack it in hard over there, because you know,
3:15
Speaker 3: you got the lake and the rock climbing and all
3:17
Speaker 3: the parks up there, so that's a fun area to
3:20
Speaker 3: be in. But we're down here now in Putnam County, which,
3:22
Speaker 3: by the way, driving in this morning, you talked about
3:24
Speaker 3: a little bit of rain. I also noticed driving into
3:27
Speaker 3: the city that our Roads to Prosperity project is almost complete,
3:31
Speaker 3: so hopefully we can get over here to Charleston without
3:34
Speaker 3: all those backups.
3:34
Speaker 4: And it's actually moving ahead of schedule, they say by October,
3:38
Speaker 4: because we not good news for the farmers. We've had
3:41
Speaker 4: basically no rain, you know, this summer in West Virginia,
3:45
Speaker 4: but it has allowed them to speed things up a
3:48
Speaker 4: little bit, no pun intended. So it does look like
3:49
Speaker 4: it's going to be open completely six lanes by I
3:53
Speaker 4: guess by some point late October.
3:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be the first time I moved to Putnham
3:57
Speaker 3: County a little over twenty years ago. Be the first
4:00
Speaker 3: time ever that we've had a full completed six lane
4:04
Speaker 3: highway from from out that way to downtown Charleston. So
4:07
Speaker 3: this gonna be really nice.
4:08
Speaker 4: Before we get into the discussion of why I wanted
4:11
Speaker 4: to have you here, of course, the big news is
4:13
Speaker 4: the Democratic National Convention is kicking off here soon in Chicago.
4:18
Speaker 4: I'm sure you and the state GOP will be watching
4:20
Speaker 4: with interest.
4:22
Speaker 3: I mean I may turn it on from time to time.
4:25
Speaker 3: I mean, I've got better things to do than watch
4:27
Speaker 3: a bunch of Democrats get on TV and talk about
4:28
Speaker 3: sterilization and abortion. So but you know, that's kind of
4:32
Speaker 3: what they've made this campaign about. You know, we've all
4:35
Speaker 3: seen the reports this weekend, or those of us who've
4:37
Speaker 3: paid attention have seen the reports this weekend that they've
4:39
Speaker 3: set up centers outside of the DNC in Chicago to
4:43
Speaker 3: offer sterilization to men and abortion to women, which is,
4:47
Speaker 3: you know, for free. And I just think it's a
4:49
Speaker 3: it's just, you know, one of the adjectives we've heard
4:52
Speaker 3: this this election cycle is weird. And that's how I
4:55
Speaker 3: would describe that. It's weird. And it's sad, it's unfortunate,
5:00
Speaker 3: but the Democratic Party has turned into something that John F.
5:02
Speaker 3: Kennedy and people of that generation just would not understand
5:06
Speaker 3: or get really. You know, in a time when Bill
5:08
Speaker 3: Clinton said to the abortion should be safe, legal, and rare,
5:12
Speaker 3: to where now the Democratic Parties say in abortion should
5:15
Speaker 3: be shoutou from the rooftop, shout abortion. Let's sterilize all
5:18
Speaker 3: the men. It's a culture of sterilization and death. And
5:22
Speaker 3: I think ultimately the majority of American people are going
5:25
Speaker 3: to look at that and frown upon it.
5:27
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I watched a lot of the news
5:29
Speaker 4: shows yesterday and they were talking about Kamala Harris, and
5:32
Speaker 4: you know, one of the things is is Tony is
5:35
Speaker 4: this is going to come down to the economy and
5:38
Speaker 4: the border. Those are two of the major things that
5:40
Speaker 4: you mentioned. Abortion that's in there too, but the economy
5:44
Speaker 4: and abortion. And there's a lot of questions. People have
5:46
Speaker 4: a vice president Harris. Now, I don't know exactly how
5:50
Speaker 4: much control of the economy that you have as a
5:52
Speaker 4: vice president. I'm not really sure what a vice president does.
5:54
Speaker 4: Although she was the borders are so to speak, and
5:57
Speaker 4: it's a mess.
5:58
Speaker 3: Well, she you know the price president does have does have.
6:02
Speaker 3: I mean, she's part of the administration, she is in office,
6:05
Speaker 3: she is a public office holder. She's at the second
6:07
Speaker 3: place of our entire hierarchy in our country, so she
6:10
Speaker 3: does have a say. But I think you're right. I
6:12
Speaker 3: think the economy and the border are things that the
6:16
Speaker 3: normal American is really concerned about. I mean, you know,
6:19
Speaker 3: when I just talk anecdotally to friends and family, you know,
6:22
Speaker 3: it's the economy, the price of food. And I think
6:24
Speaker 3: it's funny. You know, this whole price gout.
6:26
Speaker 2: Uh.
6:27
Speaker 3: She wants to come up against this price gouging. What
6:29
Speaker 3: she says, there's price gouging out here in the country
6:31
Speaker 3: on food. She wants to come up with the with
6:33
Speaker 3: the Soviet plan to to to be able to curtail that.
6:37
Speaker 3: You know, this this was tried back I wasn't alive,
6:40
Speaker 3: but during the Nixon administration I've read, you know, read
6:43
Speaker 3: through history that it was tried back then, and it
6:45
Speaker 3: was a disastrous failure. What it ended up doing to
6:48
Speaker 3: the economy was it created food shortages, breadlines. You know,
6:53
Speaker 3: when you when you take out those free market principles,
6:55
Speaker 3: you take in centive away from market suppliers on the
6:58
Speaker 3: grocery side, UH to supply their product and you end
7:01
Speaker 3: up with empty shelves. So I don't know. The Harrison,
7:05
Speaker 3: the Harris campaign, they seem to be very short on
7:09
Speaker 3: any kind of actual policy. There's nothing out there. In fact,
7:12
Speaker 3: let me tell you this little fact. This is interesting.
7:14
Speaker 3: So the twenty twenty four Democratic Party platform, which they're
7:19
Speaker 3: going to talk about right here at the DNC in Chicago,
7:23
Speaker 3: it actually has Biden's name all throughout it. The whole
7:26
Speaker 3: thing is connected to the Biden Harris administration, which I
7:28
Speaker 3: think is quite embarrassing because the Harris people they don't
7:32
Speaker 3: even have enough policy to cobble together a particular platform,
7:37
Speaker 3: and I think their DNC rules say that they can't
7:39
Speaker 3: make any changes ahead of this. So after they pulled
7:42
Speaker 3: the coup on Biden to get him out of office,
7:45
Speaker 3: now they have a platform that's rather embarrassing that refers
7:47
Speaker 3: everything back to Biden. So really they're in disarray. But
7:52
Speaker 3: thankfully on their side they have the national media, you know,
7:55
Speaker 3: the left leaning bad on the national scale that kind
7:58
Speaker 3: of bail them out and hide all these things. And
8:00
Speaker 3: we're out here, as you know, Republican Party leaders, we
8:03
Speaker 3: want to expose all these contradictions and the disarray that's
8:06
Speaker 3: actually going on behind the scenes in the Democratic Party.
8:08
Speaker 4: You referred to it as a coup. What did you
8:10
Speaker 4: think about President Biden stepping aside? Because I will contend
8:14
Speaker 4: that I don't think it was his choice because I
8:17
Speaker 4: think if you listen to the speeches, the ones that
8:20
Speaker 4: you can understand, you know, leading up to this him
8:24
Speaker 4: stepping aside, he was kind of his heels were kind
8:27
Speaker 4: of dug in, and then he stepped aside, and a
8:31
Speaker 4: lot of people say, well, there was pressure put on him,
8:33
Speaker 4: you know, other Pelosi and others came out. What did
8:35
Speaker 4: you think about the decision.
8:37
Speaker 3: To replace Yeah, I agree with your assessment. I think
8:40
Speaker 3: that he was kind of dug in. I mean, think
8:42
Speaker 3: about it from his perspective. I mean, you made it
8:46
Speaker 3: to the pinnacle, You made it to the very top.
8:47
Speaker 3: I mean, there's only been you know, forty some presidents
8:50
Speaker 3: of the United States, most powerful person in the world,
8:53
Speaker 3: and you became one of them, and you have the
8:56
Speaker 3: opportunity to run for reelection and they start to push
8:59
Speaker 3: you aside and say, you know you can't. It has
9:01
Speaker 3: to be embarrassing, it really does. I know, he probably
9:04
Speaker 3: is a person doesn't want to show it, but it's
9:06
Speaker 3: embarrassing and that will always be in history. You know,
9:08
Speaker 3: That'll be part of his history and his legacy. That'll
9:11
Speaker 3: be in the history books of the Democratic Party that
9:13
Speaker 3: they pushed their own leader out. So but I do
9:16
Speaker 3: agree with you. I think that the pressure was so
9:19
Speaker 3: heavy that they basically told him, look, you either go
9:23
Speaker 3: out a loser or go out on your own terms.
9:26
Speaker 3: Those I think we're the options given to him, and
9:29
Speaker 3: he really had no choice. I mean, you had the
9:30
Speaker 3: most powerful people in the Democratic Party putting pressure and
9:34
Speaker 3: he's out now obviously. I mean, he's been a terrible president.
9:37
Speaker 3: Inflation is the number one thing that I think of
9:39
Speaker 3: when I think of Joe Biden and so so he
9:42
Speaker 3: did have to go, but the way that he went
9:45
Speaker 3: is really it's very shocking. I'm still shocked that they
9:48
Speaker 3: were able to pull this coup off, but they did.
9:50
Speaker 3: And you know, but we've had a lot of shocking
9:52
Speaker 3: moments in American history, especially in recent years. So man,
9:56
Speaker 3: it's just it's piling up.
9:57
Speaker 4: I'll get to the TV on in the studio here
9:59
Speaker 4: and they're showing this. This was actually yesterday the protesters
10:02
Speaker 4: has set it upon the DNC in Chicago. It is
10:04
Speaker 4: worth noting Tony that not everyone on the left or
10:07
Speaker 4: that part of the Democratic Party were thrilled with the
10:09
Speaker 4: whole thing went down with Biden, and they're not thrilled
10:12
Speaker 4: with a lot of other things. And they're expected to
10:14
Speaker 4: be widespread protests and as you're already seen in the
10:17
Speaker 4: streets of Chicago, and something that I talked to you
10:20
Speaker 4: about before the show, it's not really been reported on
10:22
Speaker 4: a whole lot, is that they are about thirty or
10:24
Speaker 4: so delegates to the DNC that are uncommitted to Vice
10:29
Speaker 4: President to Kamala Harris, mainly because of her stance on Israel.
10:33
Speaker 4: That could be somewhat problematic. But I'm going to give
10:36
Speaker 4: you a break when I go to talk about that anymore,
10:38
Speaker 4: because I have you here for another reason. I will
10:40
Speaker 4: remind you that the Dave Island showing five any Live
10:42
Speaker 4: is presented by General Hardware of Winfield and Milton and
10:45
Speaker 4: General Number of Winfield for all projects big and small
10:47
Speaker 4: shop locally. This is General Hardware WV dot com. All right,
10:50
Speaker 4: So you are of course affiliated with State Republican Party,
10:54
Speaker 4: but you recently wrote an op ed which appeared in
10:57
Speaker 4: the Gazette Mail Saturday, August tenth, And this had nothing
11:01
Speaker 4: to do with your role in the State GP. This
11:03
Speaker 4: was just Tony Hodge. I referred to you last week,
11:05
Speaker 4: just Tony Hodge, the dude in this August tenth editorial,
11:09
Speaker 4: and it was entitled family Matters, And in it, Tony,
11:13
Speaker 4: you talked about the American family, or in some cases,
11:16
Speaker 4: the lack of it. Why is this such an important
11:19
Speaker 4: topic for you?
11:20
Speaker 3: Well, it's important to me because one of the lines
11:23
Speaker 3: that I put about halfway through the op ed that
11:26
Speaker 3: I sent into the Gazette mail was that the nuclear family,
11:29
Speaker 3: and what I mean by that is a family of
11:31
Speaker 3: a mother and a father, married in a home and
11:35
Speaker 3: raising children together. That's what I mean by the nuclear family,
11:39
Speaker 3: I believe, and the evidence will show. The evidence is
11:43
Speaker 3: all around. I can even cite the statistics and the studies,
11:46
Speaker 3: but the evidence shows that the nuclear family is the
11:48
Speaker 3: bedrock of a stable society. And right now in America
11:53
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, I see instability all around us.
11:56
Speaker 3: I mean, we just kind of alluded to that. There's
11:58
Speaker 3: instability in our in our economy, there's instability in our politics.
12:02
Speaker 3: There's instability in our schools, there's instability in law, there's
12:06
Speaker 3: instability and all sorts of areas. And you know, I'll
12:13
Speaker 3: hear commentators say often, well, we got to do this,
12:16
Speaker 3: we got to throw money this way or throw money
12:17
Speaker 3: that way, or we need this political fix or this
12:21
Speaker 3: political fix. And when you trace all these problems back,
12:25
Speaker 3: you keep taking step back and step back and step back.
12:28
Speaker 3: I think it comes down to strong families being dismantled
12:33
Speaker 3: over the last forty to fifty years, and now we
12:35
Speaker 3: live in a culture that absolutely disvalues family, just like
12:40
Speaker 3: I was talking about with the DNC and some of
12:42
Speaker 3: the things they're doing outside that building up there is
12:44
Speaker 3: just really weird. It's anti family, and I think it's
12:48
Speaker 3: very unfortunate for our young people. You know, I read
12:50
Speaker 3: a report on the West Virginia Metro News website just
12:52
Speaker 3: this morning. I read it where they were they interviewed
12:56
Speaker 3: the two teacher union leaders here in West Virginia, Delhi
12:59
Speaker 3: and and Fred Albert, and Uh, they talked about all
13:02
Speaker 3: the suspensions that happened in school. Uh last year, I
13:06
Speaker 3: guess it was there was several thousands, like tens of
13:09
Speaker 3: thousands maybe suspensions that happened in West Virginia public schools.
13:13
Speaker 3: And you know, I was thinking about, well, what's the
13:15
Speaker 3: cause for that? And I thought about the environment that
13:17
Speaker 3: children come out of broken homes or homes with no parents,
13:21
Speaker 3: or parents who don't pay attention, or single parents or
13:24
Speaker 3: all all these issues, and I just think that a
13:27
Speaker 3: lot of the instability that we see arises out of that.
13:31
Speaker 4: How do you personally define the family unit, Tony.
13:35
Speaker 3: Well, as I said, I think that the nuclear family,
13:38
Speaker 3: that's that's the the nuclear family is is the smallest, uh,
13:44
Speaker 3: the smallest piece of society, right, It's the most close
13:48
Speaker 3: knit piece. And what I mean by that is the
13:49
Speaker 3: family that lives in one home, one mother, one father,
13:53
Speaker 3: and not two mothers, not two fathers, because that's actually impossible.
13:57
Speaker 5: Uh.
13:57
Speaker 3: People can play house, but in real house, you have
14:00
Speaker 3: one mother, you have one father, living together, loving each other,
14:04
Speaker 3: committed to one another, committed to God, and raising children together.
14:08
Speaker 3: That's what I mean by the family. And of course
14:10
Speaker 3: there's extended family and things like that, But that family
14:13
Speaker 3: that I just described, that's the most close knit unit
14:17
Speaker 3: that we have in society. And that's kind of what
14:19
Speaker 3: I talked about in the in the op ed, I
14:21
Speaker 3: talked about a TV show from the nineteen nineties was
14:24
Speaker 3: actually Family Matters. A lot of people will remember fondly
14:28
Speaker 3: Steve Urkele and all of his antics, but if you
14:30
Speaker 3: go back and watch some of those shows, they really
14:32
Speaker 3: had a different message. And this was just in the nineties.
14:35
Speaker 3: This wasn't like, you know, an eternity.
14:37
Speaker 4: Go this is not Ozzie and Harriet. I mean, this
14:40
Speaker 4: was you know, thirty years ago.
14:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not that long ago. And you watch these
14:43
Speaker 3: shows and the messaging coming out of them is honestly,
14:46
Speaker 3: it's so really positive and good. And I sit down
14:49
Speaker 3: and watch it with my family, and my children have
14:51
Speaker 3: never seen positive messaging like that on television until they
14:54
Speaker 3: go back and watch these old shows and they're like, wow, this,
14:56
Speaker 3: you know, this is different. They recognize that. Well, I
14:59
Speaker 3: grew up with it. But anyway, we go back and
15:01
Speaker 3: we watch these episodes, and there was this one particular
15:04
Speaker 3: episode where uh, Steve and Laura were in high school
15:08
Speaker 3: and the teacher began to teach about society and how
15:12
Speaker 3: it's built. And the teacher teaches the students right out
15:14
Speaker 3: loud on TV. She says that countries are made up
15:17
Speaker 3: of cities and cities are made up of smaller units
15:20
Speaker 3: called neighborhoods, and neighborhoods are made up of even smaller
15:23
Speaker 3: units called the family. And then she says, traditionally the
15:27
Speaker 3: foundation of each family is a marriage. Right now, she
15:32
Speaker 3: says that so matter of factly, she says it as
15:34
Speaker 3: if this is normal. There's you know, this is just
15:37
Speaker 3: a normal thing. You don't hear things like that today today,
15:40
Speaker 3: you know, anything family oriented is is kind of looked
15:45
Speaker 3: down upon. We have all sorts of different definitions for
15:49
Speaker 3: family now, which which just are not true. And I
15:52
Speaker 3: really think that in order to get stability back into society,
15:55
Speaker 3: we need to go back to what Ronald Reagan said.
15:56
Speaker 3: He said that the greatness comes from families eating around
16:00
Speaker 3: the dinner table. It's something to that effect on paraphrasing.
16:02
Speaker 3: But he's just talking about getting back to family.
16:05
Speaker 4: How do we do that, though, Well, I tell you
16:07
Speaker 4: that's a big that's a broad question, sure, and that's
16:09
Speaker 4: going to take a little time less. I got a
16:10
Speaker 4: ton of text to get to too. When I have
16:13
Speaker 4: you Pushkin and Greg Thomas on the show, you guys
16:18
Speaker 4: are far and away the leader in the text that
16:19
Speaker 4: I get the show you're in You and Pushkin just
16:23
Speaker 4: right there together.
16:24
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I have to be in third place. I
16:26
Speaker 3: don't think I get as high as a Mike and Greg.
16:28
Speaker 4: But all right, we got to take a break. We'll

19:37
Speaker 3: I don't understand, I mean, but you know what. That
19:40
Speaker 3: goes back to what I was just saying. People. I
19:42
Speaker 3: don't know who these people are. I have no idea,
19:44
Speaker 3: but there are people in our society who hate the family.
19:48
Speaker 4: Texas Dave Biden. Harris's policies over the past three and
19:51
Speaker 4: a half years have been complete failure, i e. Border economy.
19:55
Speaker 4: Trump's policies are proven best for our country, common sense,
19:59
Speaker 4: Dave says. A Texter Texas said, so glad I left
20:03
Speaker 4: a party years ago that now tells you to loudly
20:05
Speaker 4: and probably shout the fact that you can tear an
20:07
Speaker 4: unborn child apart limb to limb, yet as a complete
20:11
Speaker 4: two year old meltdown if it's called the wrong pro Now,
20:14
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party we knew is gone, says a Texter.
20:20
Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw this out here, fit. I'm gonna play
20:22
Speaker 4: Devil's auvocate here, no pun intended before you say anything.
20:25
Speaker 4: And I kind of alluded to Ozzie and Harriet earlier,
20:27
Speaker 4: the Beaver, you know, the Cleavers. You know, you can
20:30
Speaker 4: lead to whatever family you want to from sitcoms, the
20:36
Speaker 4: American family two point whatever kids, husband and wife, some
20:40
Speaker 4: would say tony as some of the Texters. I'll try
20:43
Speaker 4: to get to that. It's not the reality anymore. And
20:46
Speaker 4: sometimes an American family could be a single mom or
20:50
Speaker 4: a single dad raising three kids alone, or a grandmother
20:53
Speaker 4: raising kids. Your thoughts, Yeah, you're right.
20:56
Speaker 3: I mean that oftentimes is the American family, and I
20:59
Speaker 3: think that's what's so unfortunate about our society today. I
21:02
Speaker 3: think that's one of the root causes of a lot
21:04
Speaker 3: of the instability we have right now. So you're you're
21:06
Speaker 3: absolutely right to point that out. You know, I'll go
21:10
Speaker 3: back if you go back. I alluded to this in
21:12
Speaker 3: my op ed. So in the pre industrial era, uh,
21:16
Speaker 3: you know, the makeup of family was much much different.
21:18
Speaker 3: You had a system where before industrialization where mothers had
21:24
Speaker 3: to rely on fathers for certain things. Fathers had to
21:27
Speaker 3: rely on mothers, or we could say husbands had to
21:29
Speaker 3: rely on wives. Wives had to rely on husbands, and
21:31
Speaker 3: then children had to rely on the parents for a
21:33
Speaker 3: lot of things. I mean, the household was very much
21:37
Speaker 3: an economy of its own in in the pre industrialized world, right.
21:41
Speaker 3: And but once industrial is an industrialization came along, a
21:45
Speaker 3: lot of that changed the family. The family unit was
21:49
Speaker 3: weakened quite a bit. The fathers were outsourced to to
21:52
Speaker 3: to the workplace. You know, they did no longer work
21:54
Speaker 3: near the home. They now go out.
21:56
Speaker 2: Uh.
21:56
Speaker 3: And so that what that did was create over long
21:58
Speaker 3: periods of time, that created as operation of what the
22:01
Speaker 3: father feels that's going on in his own household and
22:04
Speaker 3: in his own home because he's gone most of the time,
22:05
Speaker 3: you know, he's gone at work. Pre industrialization, Uh, we
22:08
Speaker 3: didn't have a lot of that, but but now we do.
22:10
Speaker 3: And so that that was one fissure where we have
22:13
Speaker 3: fathers that come home to the household and they don't
22:15
Speaker 3: really know what's going on because they haven't been there
22:17
Speaker 3: all day or all week, or whatever the case may be.
22:18
Speaker 3: So that's that's one thing. Another thing I think contributes
22:21
Speaker 3: to it was no fault divorce. And a lot of
22:24
Speaker 3: people point back to Reagan is his time as the
22:27
Speaker 3: California governor. He was a proponent of no fault divorce.
22:31
Speaker 3: If I have my fact straight, I think Ronald Reagan
22:33
Speaker 3: might have been the first president we ever had who
22:35
Speaker 3: who was divorced. I think that's correct. You can correct
22:37
Speaker 3: me if I'm wrong, But I revere Ronald Reagan as
22:41
Speaker 3: a whole when I look at his whole body of work.
22:43
Speaker 3: But that is one area that that that that was
22:45
Speaker 3: not good, and he introduced that in California and kind
22:48
Speaker 3: of normalized no fault divorce. And so now now we
22:53
Speaker 3: we have we we have normalized these very strange, odd
22:57
Speaker 3: family makeup And really, what I think it comes down to,
23:01
Speaker 3: especially with no fault divorce, it comes down to a
23:05
Speaker 3: religion of the self, where we worship our autonomy, we
23:12
Speaker 3: worship our self sovereignty, and and and that you know,
23:17
Speaker 3: we could get really deep into political thought here, but
23:19
Speaker 3: that's one reason why I'm I'm not a libertarian politically,
23:23
Speaker 3: you know, I'm a Republican. Libertarians believe, you know, you
23:26
Speaker 3: let me be free to do whatever I want. Well,
23:29
Speaker 3: I believe that freedom is not the permission to do
23:32
Speaker 3: whatever you want. It's the power to do what you ought.
23:35
Speaker 3: That's what I believe freedom is. And I think that
23:39
Speaker 3: this religion of self where it's all about me, it's
23:42
Speaker 3: all about my wants, you know, it's all about what
23:44
Speaker 3: makes me happy, what makes me feel good, rather than
23:48
Speaker 3: than than supporting the other person in your family, whether
23:50
Speaker 3: it be your spouse or your child, putting your children first,
23:52
Speaker 3: putting your your spouse first, or whatever, you know, as
23:55
Speaker 3: as a me, as a as a loving husband, you know,
23:58
Speaker 3: I try to put my spouse ahead of me.
24:00
Speaker 2: You know.
24:00
Speaker 3: The Bible tells me that I should give up my
24:02
Speaker 3: life for her, and I would do that very thing.
24:05
Speaker 3: And so a lot of these thoughts, a lot of
24:06
Speaker 3: these traditional thoughts are gone, you know, a lot of
24:10
Speaker 3: these traditions that rely on I saw somebody say recently,
24:13
Speaker 3: I wish this was original to me, but it's not.
24:15
Speaker 3: But I heard someone say that tradition is simply solutions
24:19
Speaker 3: to problems that we've long forgotten. A lot of people
24:22
Speaker 3: look down on tradition, and there's some traditions that need
24:26
Speaker 3: to be broken. We just do them because we've always
24:28
Speaker 3: done them. But a lot of times tradition is solutions
24:31
Speaker 3: to think to problems that we've long forgotten. And I
24:34
Speaker 3: think that the family unit is one of those traditions
24:37
Speaker 3: that we need to get back to. We will become
24:39
Speaker 3: a stronger country in every way, every way, from economics
24:43
Speaker 3: to immigration policy, all of these different types of thoughts,
24:46
Speaker 3: they stem from what kind of family unit a person
24:52
Speaker 3: comes from.
24:53
Speaker 4: Take sense, how is childcare? Tax credit and free school
24:56
Speaker 4: lunch is anti family? Tony is a Christian nationalist who
25:00
Speaker 4: wants women in subordinate roles. By the way, Dave Allen,
25:02
Speaker 4: you're attacking the family unit, why don't you have kids?
25:05
Speaker 4: I don't think I said anything. I just gave you
25:07
Speaker 4: a forum. Did I say anything to what you said
25:09
Speaker 4: about about it? I will say this in my opinion though.
25:13
Speaker 4: My opinion is is that just about every problem we
25:16
Speaker 4: have in society can be traced back to not having
25:20
Speaker 4: some form of accountability at home. I will say that
25:23
Speaker 4: because I mean, but as first, why I don't have kids?
25:26
Speaker 4: I've been very honest about it. I didn't want kids.
25:30
Speaker 4: You know, my wife and I have been married for
25:32
Speaker 4: thirty two years. Thirty two years next month, September nineteenth.
25:34
Speaker 4: See I remember, and we're what's known as child free.
25:38
Speaker 4: We could have kids, but decided early on in our
25:40
Speaker 4: marriage that we that we didn't that we didn't want them.
25:43
Speaker 4: So are people like me and you're and I'm not
25:45
Speaker 4: being argumentative with you and I are good friends, but
25:47
Speaker 4: people like me. Are we a problem?
25:49
Speaker 3: I don't think so at all. I mean, one thing
25:52
Speaker 3: that I want to congratulate you on and I think
25:54
Speaker 3: is very admirable. You just told all of your listeners
25:57
Speaker 3: you're getting ready to celebrate thirty two years of marriage.
26:00
Speaker 3: In today's world, that's that's to be admired and it's
26:03
Speaker 3: to be congratulately. I mean, that's really a feat.
26:05
Speaker 4: Well, she deserves a medal. I'll say that.
26:09
Speaker 3: Well I agree with that, uh but but no, seriously,
26:12
Speaker 3: I mean that that's a really big deal. I've been
26:14
Speaker 3: married over twenty years myself, and the fact that you
26:16
Speaker 3: don't have kids. Look, I don't know what God's plan
26:19
Speaker 3: is for Dave Allen and his wife, but you guys
26:23
Speaker 3: have have have cut a course for your life. And
26:25
Speaker 3: and I think your believers as far as I know,
26:27
Speaker 3: and in fact I know you are. And so God
26:29
Speaker 3: has a plan for you. And whatever that plan is,
26:31
Speaker 3: you know, all the more power to you. But I
26:33
Speaker 3: know it's in no one's plan to go and uh
26:37
Speaker 3: kill children or kill babies through abortion. I know that's
26:39
Speaker 3: not God's plan. That shouldn't be anybody's plan. But I
26:42
Speaker 3: want to go back to one thing that that texture said.
26:44
Speaker 3: It was something about uh subjugating women or something.
26:48
Speaker 4: What was the subordinate that you want women to be subbortive?
26:50
Speaker 3: Oh, subbortive women. So he brings that up right after
26:53
Speaker 3: I just said I would give my life for my
26:54
Speaker 3: own wife. So this is just foolishness. These people that
26:57
Speaker 3: text in, I guess they just need attention or they
26:59
Speaker 3: they probably we get they're probably narcissistist. Narcissistic can get
27:03
Speaker 3: excited when they're touch is right on the air.
27:04
Speaker 4: And again, as always say, I have no idea who
27:07
Speaker 4: they are. I just I just read it. Tony is
27:10
Speaker 4: weird to the texture?
27:12
Speaker 3: Is it?
27:12
Speaker 4: Some people say this, including your wife? Is it normal
27:15
Speaker 4: to vote for a sex abuser who parted with Jeffrey Epstein,
27:18
Speaker 4: Texas southern border crossings at a three year low. How
27:21
Speaker 4: is this a mess? Texas? Does Tony care to explain
27:24
Speaker 4: why it's normal for a white man to question if
27:26
Speaker 4: a black woman is black enough? Reference to Trump, inflation
27:31
Speaker 4: is two point nine percent. The target rate is two percent.
27:33
Speaker 4: Don't let Tony light to you. Look I have said this.
27:36
Speaker 4: I don't care what kind of statistics you throw out there.
27:38
Speaker 4: When you go to the store and you're in your
27:41
Speaker 4: price below for bread or I was talking about bolooney
27:44
Speaker 4: yesterday is gone. I saw a commercial for something. Told
27:47
Speaker 4: my wife. I said, no, we have a bought any
27:49
Speaker 4: bologne in a while, take away my Logan County card.
27:51
Speaker 4: We have bought any blognia. She said, you know how
27:53
Speaker 4: expensive it is. Now the person in the White House
27:57
Speaker 4: is going to get blamed for that, right or wrong.
27:59
Speaker 4: Republican didn't They are going to get blamed for that
28:02
Speaker 4: in prices. Care what inflation is? I know I went
28:04
Speaker 4: to Kroger Saturday. I know what the prices are.
28:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's interesting. You can throw out statistics
28:10
Speaker 3: and look, I'm a stats guy. I like data. I
28:12
Speaker 3: like to look at hard data. But the real hard data,
28:15
Speaker 3: the actual evidence that I use when it comes to
28:18
Speaker 3: inflation and how it affects my household is what you
28:21
Speaker 3: just said. When I go to my local grocery store,
28:22
Speaker 3: When I go to my local department store and I
28:24
Speaker 3: see how expensive milk and eggs and just basic needs are,
28:28
Speaker 3: it's completely outrageous. You can throw out your little one
28:30
Speaker 3: point two point three point percent statistics, but I'm telling
28:34
Speaker 3: you the percentage that it affects my bank account is
28:38
Speaker 3: what is going to determine my vote. And speaking of
28:40
Speaker 3: you know, broken families, we have, you know, all these
28:42
Speaker 3: single women out here who trying to raise their children,
28:45
Speaker 3: the ones that think God didn't abort them, and they're
28:47
Speaker 3: out here raising children alone. They should be the ones
28:50
Speaker 3: that are looking at different solutions when it comes to
28:54
Speaker 3: to who to hire to manage their state, manage their country.
28:58
Speaker 3: You know, we need to get away from this left leaning,
29:02
Speaker 3: inflation increasing political ideology, and these single mothers need to look. Okay,
29:08
Speaker 3: we see how things are under conservative rule, and we
29:11
Speaker 3: see how things are under liberal rule. Things are much
29:14
Speaker 3: more expensive for me under liberal rule. Maybe we need
29:16
Speaker 3: to change directions.
29:18
Speaker 4: Tex says, great program this morning with Tony Hodge speaking
29:20
Speaker 4: common sense in a world that's lost its mind. Thanks
29:24
Speaker 4: Dave and Tony. Another narrow view of the economy. Highest
29:29
Speaker 4: stock prices in history, lowest unemployment. Learn how to read
29:32
Speaker 4: a stock chart, says a Texter.
29:38
Speaker 2: Texas.
29:39
Speaker 4: Hey, Dave, does Tony have a take on Patrick Morrissey's
29:42
Speaker 4: passed with drug companies and unleast the opioid crisis and
29:44
Speaker 4: absolutely gutted family units in America?
29:48
Speaker 3: Well, look, Patrick Morrissey is a stalwart conservative. I mean
29:53
Speaker 3: he is if you look at his record of what
29:56
Speaker 3: he's done as Attorney General and some of the things
29:59
Speaker 3: on and especially on social issues with his conservatism, I
30:02
Speaker 3: mean he's a stalwart. He's strong. You can't push the
30:06
Speaker 3: guy around. I mean he's a fighter. He's gonna fight
30:08
Speaker 3: for West Virginia. He's going to be the next governor
30:10
Speaker 3: of West Virginia. And he's he's the conservative that we
30:13
Speaker 3: need in this moment and I look forward to supporting him.
30:16
Speaker 4: Tex says, this guy lives on the fringe. I know
30:18
Speaker 4: several non nuclear families that would be great examples to
30:21
Speaker 4: some nuclear families. Interviews such as this do nothing but
30:24
Speaker 4: drive a wedge in our society. There was nothing informative
30:27
Speaker 4: that came out of that interview. He is a hateful
30:29
Speaker 4: individual that's not accepting of others. So basically, it's only
30:33
Speaker 4: okay not to have a nuclear family if you are
30:35
Speaker 4: a dedicated Republican.
30:37
Speaker 3: Well, that's interesting. I mean I'm a hateful person. I mean,
30:39
Speaker 3: I don't know who this guy is. This if this guy, yeah,
30:43
Speaker 3: who this person is. If they really knew me, if
30:46
Speaker 3: they met me in person, they would realize that nothing
30:50
Speaker 3: could be further from the truth. And as far as
30:54
Speaker 3: I think the texture alluded that that broken families or
30:57
Speaker 3: single families can't be uh can respected or something like that.
31:01
Speaker 3: I can't remember exactly what you said. You'd have to
31:03
Speaker 3: reread it. But anyway, No, what that person's doing is
31:06
Speaker 3: they're taking an exception, an exception to the rule and
31:09
Speaker 3: trying to make it normal. Look, I know there's exceptions.
31:11
Speaker 3: There are fantastic single mothers and single fathers out there.
31:15
Speaker 3: I'll tell you a quick, just personal story. My wife,
31:19
Speaker 3: she she was raised by a single father, which is
31:22
Speaker 3: an unusual situation. She was raised fully by a single father,
31:26
Speaker 3: her and her brother. And you know, we're so grateful
31:29
Speaker 3: to him and all that he's done for them in
31:31
Speaker 3: their lives, but you know, it's an unusual situation, and uh,
31:35
Speaker 3: you know, but he did a really good job with
31:37
Speaker 3: with with the cards that he was dealt. And so
31:39
Speaker 3: there are exceptions and we recognize those, but even he
31:43
Speaker 3: would tell you that he wished that his family was intact.
31:48
Speaker 4: Tex says, a vote for Democrats is to assure government
31:51
Speaker 4: regulates business. A vote for Republicans is to assure corporations
31:56
Speaker 4: break corporations that gives the freedom to break it off
32:00
Speaker 4: in consumers. Tex says the protests of a democratic convention
32:03
Speaker 4: are healthy, much healthier than Republicans falling in line behind
32:06
Speaker 4: the adulterous child molester Donald Trump, Texas. Tony Hodges lives
32:10
Speaker 4: in a fantasy world where everything is wrong, but people
32:12
Speaker 4: did things his way, everything would be perfect.
32:15
Speaker 3: This isn't my way. This is the way of millennia
32:19
Speaker 3: of human history. Only in the last fifty to sixty
32:22
Speaker 3: years have we gotten away from what has been normal
32:25
Speaker 3: in all of written human history. So this isn't my way.
32:28
Speaker 3: All I'm doing is going back to what I would
32:32
Speaker 3: say is very very normal for humans. We have the
32:34
Speaker 3: history of it. Okay, there was a text there. You're
32:36
Speaker 3: talking about the protests I'm looking up here. You've got
32:38
Speaker 3: the DNC on the screen here in the studio, and
32:41
Speaker 3: there's people out in the street anti Israel, anti Semitic,
32:46
Speaker 3: people who are Democrats out there protesting their own party
32:51
Speaker 3: because their own party is not anti Semitic enough and
32:54
Speaker 3: anti Israel enough. This is shocking. Israel is the only
32:57
Speaker 3: democracy in that part of the world, Middle Eastern part
33:00
Speaker 3: of the world. I mean, and we we have a
33:04
Speaker 3: party that is that thinks it's mainstream to be anti Semitic.
33:09
Speaker 4: I mean, that's not fair enough to say all Democrats though, Tony.
33:12
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm talking about these protests.
33:14
Speaker 9: Ok.
33:14
Speaker 3: These protesters are anti Semitic, and what I'm saying is
33:17
Speaker 3: they want their party to be more anti Semitic. That's
33:20
Speaker 3: one reason why the fellow from Pennsylvania was passed over
33:23
Speaker 3: for this crazy guy up in Minnesota who's even crazier.
33:26
Speaker 3: It is because he's not pro Israel. That's why he's chosen.
33:29
Speaker 4: All right, let me read one more text and then
33:31
Speaker 4: we'll let it go. What is better, says a texture,
33:34
Speaker 4: two moms that love their kids, love God, involved in
33:36
Speaker 4: all aspects of their kids, and eat dinner together every night,
33:39
Speaker 4: or a man and woman where the husband abuses the
33:42
Speaker 4: wife ignores the kids and it's an alcoholic, but are
33:44
Speaker 4: still a family.
33:45
Speaker 10: Well, of course you.
33:45
Speaker 3: Don't want a husband that abuses the kids. It's an alcoholic.
33:48
Speaker 3: But it's logically impossible to have two mothers to a child.
33:52
Speaker 3: So neither situation is ideal. They're actually both wrong. That's
33:56
Speaker 3: the answer. And I will say that anytime you have
33:59
Speaker 3: two mothers raising children, you are absolutely depriving that child
34:03
Speaker 3: of their right to have a father. And if you
34:06
Speaker 3: have two fathers raising children, those two fathers are doing
34:09
Speaker 3: wrong by those young people because they're depriving those young
34:11
Speaker 3: people of their God given right to have a mother.
34:15
Speaker 3: This is wrong. All all of these scenarios, they're not right.
34:18
Speaker 3: They're not normal biologically speaking, scientifically speaking, they're just not normal.
34:25
Speaker 3: This isn't the right way to go. If I'm the
34:26
Speaker 3: only one that comes in here on WHS radio and
34:29
Speaker 3: says it, I'll do it till the day I'll die.
34:30
Speaker 3: It's something. Speaking truth and speaking truth to power is
34:35
Speaker 3: something I think it's important and I'm here for it.
34:37
Speaker 4: Tony. Appreciate you being here, man, Thanks a lot.
34:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, man, I appreciate that I.
34:40

Speaker 10: We're releasing those finally, we're starting with the Elk City
42:02
Speaker 10: district of the West Side. We're going to do some
42:04
Speaker 10: surveys for all the business owners there to collect some
42:06
Speaker 10: really important data from them. We'll then go over to
42:08
Speaker 10: the East End and start our work there. We're going

Speaker 10: three years. So we're in the middle of that right now.
42:23

45:46
Speaker 4: Hodge interview, Tony needs to be careful talking about all
45:48
Speaker 4: of history. Many cultures did not have nuclear families throughout history,
45:53
Speaker 4: says a Texter. Text says Tony, because I think you're
45:55
Speaker 4: a cloud and your ideas are just as dumb. Doesn't
45:58
Speaker 4: mean I hate the idea of a family. It's just
46:00
Speaker 4: you and your ideas are narrow. Texays Tony. Wants to
46:04
Speaker 4: take women back to the days when they couldn't work,
46:06
Speaker 4: had to be dependent on a man, and had to
46:08
Speaker 4: be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. Tex says Dave.
46:11
Speaker 4: Is there an application that I can fill out so
46:14
Speaker 4: I can come on the airwaves and talk out of
46:16
Speaker 4: my blank for about half an hour? That's my job.
46:19
Speaker 4: That's my job. That's my job, Tex, says Tony. The
46:25
Speaker 4: Republicans court white nationalists who fly swastikas. Get out of here,
46:29
Speaker 4: you dope, says a texture. Um, let's see, I've got
46:37
Speaker 4: so many texts here. I'm doing the best I can. Wow, Okay,
46:45
Speaker 4: Texas David's the Republicans who've been in favor of sterilizing
46:48
Speaker 4: women to keep them from having more babies that place
46:50
Speaker 4: a drain on public funds. Leave it to talking points
46:53
Speaker 4: to Tony to start off the week. Weird as usual,
46:56
Speaker 4: Texas Republicans crocodile tears over Joe Biden being forced out
47:00
Speaker 4: pathetic and sad. Texas Tony needs to go back and
47:03
Speaker 4: watch a few episodes of One Day at a Time
47:05
Speaker 4: in Kate Nalley, because that's how many of us grew
47:07
Speaker 4: up in the seventies and eighties. All families are important
47:10
Speaker 4: in America. We live the best, we live like the
47:12
Speaker 4: best we can with the families we have, not the
47:14
Speaker 4: ones we always want. And I've said I come from
47:16
Speaker 4: a broken family. My parents divorced when I was five.
47:19
Speaker 4: I was literally the only kid in the class whose
47:22
Speaker 4: parents were divorced. And that was in nineteen seventy five.
47:25
Speaker 4: So now it probably would be the opposite. If you had,
47:28
Speaker 4: you know, the parents that were actually still married, they
47:31
Speaker 4: probably would not be the norm anymore, Texas Tony. This
47:35
Speaker 4: world's population nineteen hundreds was one point six billion, were
47:38
Speaker 4: at eight billion. I think your nuclear families were blowing
47:40
Speaker 4: things up in the bedroom in the twentieth century. Okay,

49:03
Speaker 4: Council scheduled to meet tonight. They are expected again to
49:06
Speaker 4: take up a bill that would change the penalties for
49:09
Speaker 4: simple possession of marijuana. We're talking fifteen grams or less now.
49:13
Speaker 4: Some folks try to get a change in the regulations
49:15
Speaker 4: for the city had a petition going around, but according
49:18
Speaker 4: to city officials, including City Attorney Kevin Baker, the one
49:22
Speaker 4: eight hundred and fifty seven signatures were not enough. The
49:26
Speaker 4: original bill, sponsored by Councilman Chad Robinson and Frank Annie,
49:29
Speaker 4: was discussed in the council meeting in July July seventeenth.
49:32
Speaker 4: It later went to the Ordinance and Rules Committee. This
49:35
Speaker 4: is designed to do a number of things, including the
49:38
Speaker 4: city pretty much going along with what the state code
49:41
Speaker 4: says as it relates to possession. It would remove some
49:46
Speaker 4: of what the city and law enforcement says are simply
49:49
Speaker 4: conflicting and confusing language. It also would remove jail time
49:54
Speaker 4: for simple possession. The first offense would not come with
49:57
Speaker 4: a five. There are several other aspects to this again,
50:00
Speaker 4: and that will be discussed at the council meeting tonight.
50:02
Speaker 4: We will be monitoring the meeting, of course, and have
50:04
Speaker 4: stories posted about it on the website as well as
50:07
Speaker 4: on air. And I have counselman Chad Robinson scheduled to
50:09
Speaker 4: be on the show tomorrow. Talked with him earlier this morning.
50:12
Speaker 4: He's hoping something will get done at the council meeting
50:14
Speaker 4: tonight and Counselman Robinson will join us on the show tomorrow.
50:19
Speaker 4: Texas Dave great program. Tony's strong and loves his state
50:22
Speaker 4: and country by speaking the truth. Thanks Tony Hodge for
50:25
Speaker 4: speaking for the vast majority of West Virginians. Just curious
50:32
Speaker 4: our non nuclear families welcome to this event. That was
50:37
Speaker 4: a nod to October west Rick unfortunately had to leave us.
50:41
Speaker 4: He had some prior appointments, but I'd say just about
50:43
Speaker 4: anybody's probably invited Texas. Tony Hodge was right on the spot.
50:49
Speaker 4: Neighbor has had six non working fathers in eight years,
50:53
Speaker 4: and Methodist Episcopal Church supports it. Says a Texter Texas
50:59
Speaker 4: Jesus was such a fan of marriage. The text says
51:07
Speaker 4: is that we're to open up political rally with the
51:08
Speaker 4: national anthem sung by January sixth, criminals and call them
51:11
Speaker 4: political prisoners. I'm going to close this some national news here,
51:15
Speaker 4: of course, the big story of the DNC President Biden
51:17
Speaker 4: expected to speak tonight. As I said, there are protests
51:20
Speaker 4: already going on in Chicago, and I was doing some
51:23
Speaker 4: reading over the weekend, and there was some polling that
51:26
Speaker 4: was released. And if you are former President Donald Trump
51:30
Speaker 4: as of now on the time, it couldn't be a
51:32
Speaker 4: little bit troubling. A new poll out from ABC News,
51:36
Speaker 4: the Washington Posts and ESBA says Vice President Kamala Harris
51:40
Speaker 4: is now leading former President Trump fifty percent to forty
51:44
Speaker 4: five percent. And what's interesting here the independent vote, which
51:50
Speaker 4: I think is going to decide this election. In July,
51:53
Speaker 4: when it was Trump v Biden, Trump was leading independent
51:56
Speaker 4: voters over Biden by four points. Now Jamala Harris, according
52:01
Speaker 4: to the poll, is leading Trump among independence by eleven points.
52:07
Speaker 4: Another interesting note here is that among voters ages eighteen
52:09
Speaker 4: to thirty nine, Kamala Harris leading Trump fifty seven to
52:12
Speaker 4: thirty seven percent.
52:15
Speaker 2: All Right, we gotta go.
52:17
Speaker 4: Thank you so much to Tony Hodge. Sorry, I didn't
52:19
Speaker 4: get to all the texts. That's the way it is
52:21
Speaker 4: when you have people like Tony Hodge or Mike Pushkin
52:24
Speaker 4: or Greg Thomas on the show. You just don't get
52:26
Speaker 4: to all the text But my thanks to all those
52:27
Speaker 4: that did text him. My producer was Hollywood Jeff Petty,
52:30
Speaker 4: Thank you so much again. Chad Robinson from City Council
52:32
