2:46
the show gentleman by the name of a chance Walker Chance Good morning, how
2:51
are you, sir. I'm doing good, Dave, thank you for having
2:53
me on. I really appreciate you taking the time. Now you are here
2:55
to make a big announcement, and I want to say we're gonna get to
3:00
know chance Walker here in a couple of moments. But I want to say
3:04
thank you for for choosing to make this announcement on my show. Thanks a
3:08
lot. So I'll let you do the honors. The announcement from chance Walker
3:14
is so um, I will be running in the Republican primary in twenty twenty
3:20
four in the District fifty two for the House of Delegates. All right,
3:23
so you heard it here, folks. Here for I'll get it out.
3:28
I'm the one that supposedly talks for a living. You heard it here first,
3:31
folks, chance Walker is going to be running for a house in District
3:35
fifty two. Talk about the district in a little bit, but give us
3:38
your bio. Tell us who chance Walker is, so u you know,
3:42
dave a little bit about me. M. I come from a middle class
3:44
family. I'm a lifelong West Virginia resident. I've always lived here. My
3:52
father was a over the road truck driver. My mother is still a caregiver
3:54
of the elderly. I was pretty much grew up in the public school system
4:02
and I was blessed enough to graduate from Marshall University. Go hurd, huh,
4:06
go ahard. Anytime I have somebody out from Marshall, I have to
4:10
say go hurdy, So go ahead. And I currently live in Marmett with
4:15
my partner Rachel and our three sons. UM, which is great. Love
4:18
the community, small town feel. I love everything about it. Um.
4:24
So yeah, I've I've have been. Um, I've been persuaded by some
4:29
people in my community to to run for House of Delegates and and here I
4:33
am to get get my name out there and uh really put the best foot
4:36
forward. So you got all this other stuff that you do in your life.
4:40
Um, why why this? I know you said you were persuaded by
4:44
some people, but you got to be the one to make that ultimate decision.
4:46
Chance, Why why did you decide that this is the road you want
4:48
to take to run for House. So I'm very passionate about making West Virginia
4:54
a better place to live, work, and to raise a family. Um,
4:57
that's my number one goal. Um. I look at my suns every
5:00
day and they inspire me to want to make West Virginia a better place for
5:04
them to grow up in and to inherit a better West Virginia than what we
5:08
have today. So what do you see as the biggest needs of the district
5:13
for fresh explain the district to us so that I think that'd be a good
5:15
place, because I always like to have people do that because people say,
5:18
well, what exactly is the district fifty two? To explain what the district
5:21
is? So District fifty two is it starts in Kanal City Second Street in
5:27
Kansas City, but it's held up in traffic thereat Okay, go ahead,
5:33
UM. So you come down the Kannal River and you go both sides,
5:36
so you go into bail Rand, Mormatt, Chesapeake, UM. You come
5:42
down into Cedar Grove, Glasgow, um Pratt, and then you end in
5:46
Montgomery. So my district is technically a two county districts is a part of
5:50
Fayette County that is in my district because I have the whole town of Montgomery,
5:55
UM, and then it goes down into the more rural part of southern
6:00
in all County. UM. But yeah, it's a it's a very large
6:02
district, I'll say that way. But it's mostly the Upper Canal Valley and
6:06
then the southern part. So now, what do you see as the biggest
6:10
needs of that district. The biggest needs that I see there is economic growth.
6:15
Um. That is my number one priority is to bring jobs back to
6:18
West Virginia and to keep them here and to grow our population. That's my
6:24
number one priority. Yeah, So let's talk about campaign strategy. Well,
6:30
mean, do you have a strategy? I know it's early, Yeah,
6:33
we're about a year out, but yeah, my my campaign strategy is just
6:36
grassroots meeting with the people, getting on you know, as many committees and
6:43
going to as many council meetings as I can to see what the real needs
6:46
of the county are. I've already met with some mayors, UM and I've
6:49
gotten their opinions on what the deal is with the Upper Canal Valley and what
6:55
their struggles are UM. And so I'll continue to do that until you know,
7:00
the election. I'll continue to be a part of the community, try
7:03
to make the community better and to really listen to what they have to say.
7:08
You mentioned this a little bit too earlier about the area that you're Now,
7:12
how long have you been there are you? I mean, are you
7:14
native of that area of more matt Yeah, so I've been there I've lived
7:16
there two years. Okay, all right, right, so so you've been
7:18
there long enough, yes, okay, So what is it that you like
7:20
about that area so much? You touched on a little bit, But what
7:23
is it that you did the small town Field? I mean, that's just
7:26
kind of what you like about that whole area. Yeah, small town Field.
7:28
Don't have to worry about traffic all the time. I'm able to just
7:30
come home and I'm set in fifteen twenty minutes of traffic, and you know,
7:34
it's a good place for our kids to be able to go out on
7:36
the street. I don't worry about them because you know, we don't have
7:39
a ton of traffic in town. Um. I just love living in a
7:42
small town. And that's what West Virginia is all about. We're made out
7:45
of a bunch of small towns. Even even the big towns are small,
7:46
even the big towns. Um, So why make the announcement so early.
7:53
I mean, we're almost a year before the primary, and you're certainly not
7:57
the only one. So I'm not picking on you because I mean you to
8:00
be. It was always like the Labor Day, it was the big day
8:01
nobody. But we're seeing more and more people locally, nationally, whatever are
8:07
announcing early. Why did you choose to make the announcements so early? The
8:11
way I see it, if you're going to run, run, go ahead
8:13
and get out there, get your name out there, go ahead and let
8:16
everybody know what you're about, and so that way they can communicate with me,
8:20
and that way I can find out what the large problems are in my
8:24
district. I'm talking with chance Walker, who is announcing on this show.
8:28
Just announced he's gonna be running for a house in District fifty two five eighty

8:39
three or four four four zero one one zero one all right. So the
8:43
position is currently held by Larry Rowe Lari Row. Okay, and so um,
8:48
you'll you find yourself in the primary against Larry Row. There there are
8:52
also maybe others you just don't know Larry. Larry Rowe is the Democrats.
8:56
I want oh, okay, I'm sorry, blah blah blah, sorry,
8:58
sorry, I forgot a brain locked there for from Larry Larry is the is
9:03
the incomement? But he is Okay, yeah, you're right, Okay.
9:05
Uh So, um, will it be will it be others in the primary?
9:09
Yes? Um? As of right now, there's one other person who
9:13
has filed their precncy. Okay, So so what is it that sets and
9:16
I don't we don't necessarily talk about that person. But what is it that
9:20
that makes you a better candidate? I think that for myself, I believe
9:26
I'm more in touch, um with District fifty two, and I think,
9:30
um, they deserve a common sense conservative choice on the ballot. UM for
9:37
the twenty twenty four general election. Where can people learn uh more about your
9:41
campaign? Um? So they can get on Facebook right now. So it's
9:46
a chance walker for West Virginia. That's the page, UM. And then
9:48
I have a website Walker for West Virginia dot com. UM. That's my
9:54
website right now. You can volunteer on there. You can send me your
9:56
contact information if you want to reach out. UM. If you go on
10:00
to my Facebook page, my cell phone numbers on there, so you can
10:01
text me and call me, reach out to me if you have any questions.
10:05
Uh. Somebody actually had texted a question in here for you and aside
10:09
a very very detailed question because I don't like to when somebody makes their radio
10:13
debut, I don't like to hammer. There's time for that later. But
10:15
somebody ask about tourism. Is this something? How do you feel about tourism?
10:18
And specifically they ask about the expansion of the Halfild McCoy trail. I
10:22
think the aprical valley talk about that. I think that's great for that end
10:24
of the canal valley. I think it's awesome that they have plans to extend
10:30
the half Field McCoy trails. They also have plans to put a large four
10:33
by four trail on the other side, like a full full size that you
10:39
can take you know, jeeps and automobiles. Okay, so it's great.
10:43
Any kind of any kind of economic growth we can have in tourism, in
10:48
manufacturing, anything like that in the Uprocanal Valley is a great, great thing
10:52
for us. Are you ready for the fight that comes under the capital.
10:56
And here's what I the reason I say that the Republicans are are firmly in
11:00
charge. Um, that's not going to change. And even now we have
11:03
more you know, we have Democrats that are switching to Republicans, you know,
11:07
for one reason or another. But within the Republican Party there are divisions,
11:11
just like there were within the Democratic Party for eighty three years. Are
11:15
are you ready for I don't want to say the fight, that's kind of
11:18
a strong word. Are you Are you ready for the negotiations that happen,
11:22
that have to happen within the party, And you think that you'd be pretty
11:24
good at compromise and working with the people that you may not necessarily your beliefs
11:28
don't necessarily align with one absolutely. Um you know, I have fourteen years
11:33
in sales in business background. Um So I do sales on the daily basis.
11:39
I'm a residential sales consultant for taste value, heating and air conditioning.
11:43
UM So, negotiating, talking, coming to a compromise, I can do
11:46
that any day of the week, at any time. I think I'm very
11:50
prepared for that. And you know, I'm ready for anything that they can
11:54
throw at me at the House of Delegates up there, All right, well,
11:58
good stuff, give us the elevator speak chance. Why should people to
12:01
vote for you when the time comes next year? I think people should vote
12:05
for me because I'm pro jobs, pro economic development, pro life, pro
12:09
Second Amendment, and I will fight to ensure that the people of District fifty
12:13
two have a common sense a conservative choice on the ballot. Chance Walker,
12:18
who is announced on the show today he is gonna be running for House as
12:22
a Republican in District fifty two next year. Chance. We wish you the
12:24
best luck. We'll be talking to you plenty of times, I'm sure before
12:28
the election next year. Thanks a lot man, No problem, Dave.
12:30
I appreciate you having me on, and absolutely I'll be on a couple more
12:33
times. All right, all right, good stuff. Nine twenty phone calls

Baseball dot com. Knack County Commission Lands Wheeler, who we're goill talk to
15:45
him with a couple of moments and we're not got a couple of texts here.
15:46
First Tech says chances primary opponent is a very wacky far right conspiracy theorist
15:54
that stays on the radical fringes of politics. Chance is going to be a
15:58
much more sensible and normal candidate. Well, I don't know who they're referring
16:00
to there, but whoever that person is is welcome to come on this show
16:06
as well. All types are welcome here. Tech says, what incumbent Democrat
16:11
will chance Walker be running against the general election? That would be Larry row
16:15
If, if, and when that happens, that's that's the way that we'll
16:18
work out. Tech says, Dave, You're gonna be hearing a whole lot
16:22
about Pride Month in the month of June. I would prefer to say that
16:26
June is life month. Keep that in mind, all right, duly noted
16:30
Cana kind of Commissioner Lance Wheelers with US commissioner, good morning, how are
16:33
you? Good morning, Dave, how are you doing? I am doing
16:37
fine. Thanks for being here. Big doings out at Coonskin Talk about him,
16:42
Well, I'll tell you this project has been years in the making.
16:47
It's actually when I came in in twenty twenty one, as can kind of
16:49
commissioner, it was one of the very first projects I started working on,
16:53
and as everybody knows, Coonskin had an eighteen whole course. It was beautiful.
16:59
Unfortunately, in June twenty sixteen the floods hit. It took out the
17:03
back nine and we knew we had to do something. With all of the
17:07
tourism and economic development we're seeing here in the Canal Valley, the Cana County
17:11
Commission knew we had to do something, so we got down with the best
17:15
designers and we created the nine whole part three golf course we called the Short
17:21
Course at Coonskin and Dave. It's absolutely beautiful. I don't know if you've
17:26
been out there yet, but the grass is wonderful, the greens are complex.
17:30
I mean, we've heard nothing but great things about this new golf course.
17:34
Well, you know, I have not been out there yet, but
17:37
I am looking forward to visiting. And let's go back in time. Just
17:41
a bid and you could take us through it. If I have something mixed
17:42
up here, you can correct me. And again we're talking with Knack County
17:45
Commissioner Lands Wheeler. June or twenty sixteen, there was a fire that destroyed
17:49
parts of the irrigation system for the former eighteen whole course there. Fast forward
17:55
to April this last year, the Cana County Commission approves one point four million
17:59
dollars for a course redesign using money from the American Rescue Plan under the heading
18:06
of economic development. Is that the way this whole thing played out. Yeah,
18:10
it wasn't a fire. It was a flood. You know, I
18:12
knew about the I knew about the flood, but I was under the impress
18:15
And it was kind of funny because when I was doing the research on this,
18:18
I know everybody knows about the flood of twenty sixteen, but I was
18:21
thinking, for some reason that there was also a fire. I guess I
18:23
just invented something out of the air that there was also another disaster. But
18:27
it was just a flood, not a fire. Look, there was multiple
18:30
disasters, and you know, we wanted to make sure that we could try
18:34
to bring that back nine in but you know, FEMA came in, they
18:37
change the lines on us. They're still changing the lines on us. We
18:40
knew we had to do something, so let's go all out on something that
18:44
state of the art. It's a non whole part three course. It's very
18:48
complex for pro and amateur players. But I'm also told that because of how
18:53
short it is, it's something that anybody can play. Actually, Dave,
18:57
we just had our first hole in one already, our first hole in one?
19:03
Was it? You? Was it? You, Commissioner. It will
19:06
never be me, And I'm not a golfer, okay, but you know
19:07
who it was? Who was it was eleven year old? An eleven year
19:11
old? Well, we just had it. We just had the West Virginia
19:15
Amateur I think was just yesterday. And I think the person that won that
19:18
was was in high school like last year. So you know, it happens
19:21
again. The youth are taken over. Man. Well, and it just
19:25
shows how great this project is because it's not just for tourism, right,
19:30
Dave. This is something for the locals. This is something for the family.
19:33
You know, if you're a golfer and you want to bring your child
19:36
out and try to make them experience this play and not be out for four
19:38
hours or eighteen holes and three hundred and seventy five yard drives, they can
19:42
play, you can enjoy it because of how complex it is. Uh,
19:47
you know, there's there's a double green on this course. It's so difficult
19:51
but yet so easy. And that's what makes this project perfect, not just
19:56
for our locals here, but for tourism as well, and the was one
20:00
published report. I read a commissioner that someone with the US Golf Association that's
20:06
you know, that's pretty big stuff there. The USGA called this course a
20:10
field of dreams. I was right there next to him on opening day when
20:14
he said it. I actually asked him to can I quote you on that?
20:18
And we all laugh, but he said he also mentioned this might be
20:22
one of, if not the best part three golf course in the nation.
20:27
And it's right here in the Knaal Valley, right here, right outside Charleston,
20:33
right into Canaal County Parks. And you know, again, this would
20:36
not been doable if it wasn't for the vision of the board, our Canall
20:40
County Parks and Wright Board, our General Alan Tackett, one of our board
20:45
members, Dave Pope, Jeff Hutchinson, our director, and then also Commissioner
20:48
Carper and Selango for seeing this vision and knowing that this was the perfect thing
20:53
to do. I think that it's going to be excellent. I'm already told
20:57
that we've already had over three one hundred and fifty rounds played and we just
21:02
opened on May twenty six. I've heard nothing but good things. And if
21:06
you're a golfer or if you want to learn how to golf, come on
21:08
out the coon skin at our short course. We'll get you taken care of.
21:11
It's twenty dollars for the nine holes, and then if you want to
21:15
do additional nine holes, it's only an extra ten bucks. Good stunt,
21:18
sheep that it's enjoyable and you can bring the whole family out. Five eighty
21:23
Life presented a party by Travis Willard. You're Edward Jones Financial Advisor just off
21:26

fifty five fifty three for your Edward Jones Financial Advisor, Travis Willard, Edward
21:41
Jones member SIPC LANs. Let's talk about the economic impact of this, and
21:45
you kind of touched on it briefly there, But what kind I know?
21:48
I know that to you folks in the commission and the parks, you know
21:52
it's all you want to provide quality outdoor entertainment for the residents of the valley
21:57
and for tourists coming in as well. What's the economic impact look like in
22:02
this thing? Well, anytime I talk to anyone about, you know,
22:04
economic impact, the thing I always like to do. The analogy is it's
22:07
like baking a cake. You know, you have your flour, you have
22:11
your eggs, you have your sugar. But Dave, you wouldn't take a
22:15
spoonful of flour and just shoving your mouth right. It wouldn't takets well.
22:18
But if you put all those ingredients together, you get this delicious cake.
22:22
And what I think is this golf course is one of those ingredients. You
22:26
know, we have the Shawnee Sports Complex, which shout out to Commissioner's Lango
22:30
that has been absolutely excellent for economic development and the locals. We're looking at
22:36
the Capital Sports Complex, We're looking at the valley Plan for economic development out
22:40
in eastern Kanau County. You know, when you have a project like this
22:44
that fits into that puzzle, you're not only going to get the locals to
22:47
be able to enjoy it, You're going to get people tourism coming in.
22:51
You know, they come in for the civic center to call sum and they
22:53
want to go and play around a golfer at Shawnee and go play around a
22:56
golf They can do that. But you also look at the you know,
23:00
bringing people back home right there. That's what we keep talking about. We
23:04
want to bring people back home. We want to bring people out of state
23:07
to move to Canall County because we know this is the best place to live
23:11
and having those amenities for them when they come and they start looking at Arleston
23:15
and Canall County and knowing that all these things exist around them that they can
23:19
go enjoy in their luxury time. That just keeps adding on and on.
23:25
And I have to say, Kenall County in West Virginia, we're on a
23:27
roll right now. I think we're seeing a lot of economic development and I
23:32
think projects like this, if we can continue these, is really going to
23:34
start pushing us up higher and higher every day. Well, you know,
23:37
it's interesting that you bring that up. And again we're talking to Canack County
23:41
Comission as we have are. I was having a phone call last night with
23:44
a good friend of mine who's the mayor and I know you knowing very well,
23:45
the mayor Barbersville, Chris Tatum and I we're having a discussion last night,
23:51
and of course you knew there was a big announcement made this week with
23:53
Commissioner Selango and with Mayor Tatum and others about this huge soccer tournament that's coming
24:00
in. And I say this all the time, Lands when I have folks
24:03
like you and Commissier Slango and others on the show, people don't realize how
24:07
much money is rolling through the Canall Valley right now and all of us for
24:11
Junia for that matter. And I'm talking about with this outdoor sports thing.
24:15
You know, whether it's the youth sports and the proposed Capital Sports Complex,
24:18
or what's going on at Shawnee or what's going on. You know what Chris
24:22
is doing down in Barbersville right now. It's amazing. It is truly amazing,
24:26
Lands Well. And it's also that partnership, right Dave, you we
24:30
talked about, you talk about Barbersville partnering with the Shawnee Sports conflict so we
24:34
can bring this massive tournament here, not just the Kanaal County, but you
24:38
know, this entire region. We're starting to see these partnerships with the mayors.
24:42
You know, when I became County commissioner, the first thing I did
24:45
was I want to talk to every one of the mayors. I want to
24:47
talk to the municipalities. We need to communicate with government, you know,
24:51
the state, federal government, the local government. We need to start communicating
24:56
instead of starting spending all of our money in different areas. And you know,
25:00
we're we're putting our money in this project while they're putting this money in
25:03
this project. You know, we need to work together. We're starting to
25:06
see that that is now collaborating together and it's really showing those benefits, you
25:11
know. And day one thing I noticed. I'm a lifelong West Virginian.
25:15
I was born and raised in Saint Auban, and I'm starting to see a
25:18
lot of more outside state tags these days. And I like it. And
25:23
I don't like the traffic, but I like seeing these out of state tags
25:27
coming into Knall County because I know they're spending their money at hotels, local
25:32
businesses, shops, and that is just continuing to drive the economy. It's
25:37
creating more jobs, it's creating more opportunity, and it's not something that we
25:41
need to turn our heads at what's on the horizon for some other things.
25:45
In Snow County, we kind of touched on it with with the you know,
25:48
the soccer tournament, and we know we got Forgatta coming up and all
25:52
these other things. But what's what do you have your eye on over the
25:55
next maybe over the summer months or maybe for the rest of the year.
26:00
I have and the cannot kind of commission. We have our eyes on some
26:03
pretty big projects. You know, we're too early in right now to announce,
26:07
but I promise you, Dave, once we're ready announced, I'll come
26:10
right back on the show and you'll be the first one to hear about it
26:12
with your viewers. You know, we have a lot of different things that
26:17
we're looking at, but are the formula that we're looking at as well?
26:21
Is not just something that's for tourism, right Dave. We want something that
26:25
is for the locals as well, something that local people can enjoy that also
26:30
brings in that economic development with tourism. And you know I said this at
26:33
the golf course announcement. When you can start checking off those two boxes on
26:37
a project, you know you're onto something. And I think if we can
26:41
continue down that avenue and that route, making sure we're using taxpayer dollars because
26:45
if we as to remember This is other people's money for locals while also benefiting
26:51
businesses. Man, that is that's a cake that I can't wait to get
26:55
a bite of. We're talking with that Cannock County Commissioner Lance Wheeler, twenty
26:59
six minutes away from ten finally, sir, and you know, I gotta
27:03
at least touch on this just for a moment. I don't want to get
27:06
into allegations or anything like that, but do we have any update on the
27:07
condition of Commissioner Kent Carper. Have you spoken to him or his family or
27:11
anything on his health condition? No, I have not spoke. I'm giving
27:15
the privacy to Commissioner Carper and his family, I think, as everyone else
27:18
should right now. Yeah, I hear he is still recovering. I do
27:22
hear he's still in the hospital, and obviously the can All County Commission,
27:26
with the Commissioner Selango myself, you know, we wish him a speedy recovery
27:29
and hope that he can get back on his speed as soon as fall.
27:33
Mister Anna So Wheeler, it's always a pleasure to have you on the show,
27:34
sir. We'll have you on again soon. Thanks a lot. They've
27:37
always a pleasure of being on here and thanks for having me. All right,
27:41
it's twenty five minutes away from ten. Five eighty Live brought to a
27:44
party by Husins Pizza this month. That's your local Hussin's Pizza. Well,
27:47
actually, I need to change this out because Hollywood, Jeff Edty, I
27:49
have the wrong thing there. That's your fault, man, I'm blaming that
27:52
on you. You should have corrected that this is the correct one. Five
27:56
eighty Live is brought to part by Husins Pizza this month. That's your favorite
27:59
Husbins Pizza location. Get a large eighteen inch Pepperoni pizza and order a sent
28:03
of advice with icing only twenty ninety nine. Find your local Husbands and Husbands
28:06
Pizza dot com. I was kidding. That was not Jeff Patty's fault.
28:08
That was That was my fault that I almost read the wrong special Month of
28:12
June is here, speaking of which I had the text earlier about Pride Month.
28:17
Tex says, the only reason you'll hear more of Pride Month is because
28:21
conservative media outlets had told their viewers to be outraged about consenting adults enjoy freedom
28:26
enjoying freedom according to a texture, Texter says as a conservative. I'm often
28:33
skeptical of government spending because government is wonderful at wasting money. But I will
28:37
say investing in parks, recreation and sports facilities are an absolutely positive, an
28:42
appropriate use of taxpayer funding. According to a texture, somebody sent me a
28:48
link to a story here about the special prosecutor now being requested in the Kent
28:52
Carper matter. Yes, we're aware of it. We've reported it. I
28:55
mentioned on the show a couple of days ago. I do appreciate the person
28:59
from bringing that to my attention. But again, it's been reported that a
29:03
special prosecutor in the Kent Carper situation is being requested at this time as he
29:07
continues his recovery. Texture says, there has to be away to put the
29:12
Coonskin entrance back off the Greenbrier. Again, it's ridiculous, that's off Greenbrier.
29:18
Should say off the Greenbriar, off Greenbriar. It is ridiculous as a
29:22
texture to have to go all the way out of the way to the Mink
29:23
Shoal's exit to get to the park. Last time I was there, there
29:27
was no one anywhere. That's sad. According to a texture, texture says,
29:33
it's a great course, but they have to maintain it. Indeed,
29:36
all right, we're gonna take a break. We've got plenty more to get
29:38
to it. Just me and you from this point on, no more guests.
29:41
But I got a lot of things in the news. I want to
29:42
talk about this debt ceiling thing, the governor coming under fire from the Feds.
29:48
We're going to talk about that, and also the governor is going to
29:51
be sending some guardsmen down to the southern border. Plus, last night,
29:56
Dave Chappelle was in concert at the municipal audatoryment. Charleston did not attend the
30:00
show. I talked to a couple of people that did, and there was
30:03
something really interesting that happened. And of course Chapelle, you know, is
30:07
a comedic genius in my opinion, I did not attend the concert, and
30:11
I'll tell you why I didn't come up a little bit later on. Nothing
30:14
personal, but I'm cheap. That's why I didn't go to the concert.
30:17
But there was something. There was a rule that was released yesterday before the
30:22
concert about something. They did not allow cell phones at the concert last night.
30:26
I want to touch on that and more when we come back from the

idea what that takes me. Sometimes I get text of the show and I
33:43
don't have any idea of what they mean, what the reference is. I'm
33:46
really sure need to take time to welcome a new sponsor to the show,
33:51
Glenn Yeager and the crew at Valley Outdoors on Mountain Vernon Road and Tay's Valley.
33:54
And now, granted how much of the outdoors type myself, but I
33:58
have been in Glenn's play several times, just in there over the weekend as
34:00
a matter of fact, and I can tell you that there isn't a store
34:04
like it anywhere in this part of the country. And yes, I said
34:07
country. I can't imagine any type of firearm that they don't have. You
34:13
can visit them online. Their website is Valley Outdoors WV dot com against Valley
34:17
Outdoors WV dot com or just stop by and see them off Mount Vernon Road
34:22
in Tay's Valley and get ready for this. Glenn himself is going to be
34:30
a guest on an upcoming show or two. And if you see the wild
34:35
character of the television commercials that Glenn Yeager is, trust me, you haven't
34:42
seen anything until you listen to him in person. And he's coming on the
34:45
show in the future, not to talk about the store, but about his
34:52
views on things, mainly politics, particularly Putnam County. It's going to be
34:58
entertaining for sure. So one welcome aboard a new sponsor again, Valley Outdoors
35:02
of Tay's Valley visited online Valley Outdoors wv dot com. Well, the state
35:07
high school baseball tournament gets underway later today Go Mart Park. First game this
35:12
afternoon, four fifteen, a single ay matchup with Tyler Consolidated, making the
35:15
first ever appearance in the term I think in Petersburg, and I don't think
35:17
Petersburg has been there for a while. That's followed by Charleston Catholic, who
35:21
defending state champions in their class in Wahamma. That's a rematch of the championship
35:24
game from last year. Tomorrow, the action starts early in the morning with
35:29
Cabell Midland taking on the Red Dragons of St. Albans, followed by University
35:31
in Hedgesville four forty five tomorrow afternoon Winfield and Lewis County, followed by Kaiser
35:37
and Shady Spring championship games on Saturday. Catch all the action. Of course,
35:40
the wv metronews dot com will be following all the action and also our
35:45
stations will as well. As I said, lots to get to in the
35:50
news. This morning story posted wv metronews dot com. The Department of Justice
35:55
has announced a filing over unpaid penalties by more than a dozen companies operated by
36:01
Governor Justice and his family. The filing does not name Jim Justice per se,
36:08
but it does name his son Jay, and thirteen cold companies under the
36:13
family's ownership. Now you'll recall that the governor the governor said that when he
36:21
became governor that he would put those in a blind trust to be operated by
36:24
his family. The federal court filing is trying to collect unpaid civil penalties on
36:31
behalf of several federal governmental agencies. Now, again, it's kind of a
36:36
complicated story. Read the entire story of the website wv Metronews dot com.
36:39
Governor Justice yesterday during his briefing said very much paraphrasing here, that it's all
36:45
coming because of his announced run for US Senate and this is just a reaction
36:52
to that. And I reference this on the show yesterday. If you saw
36:55
the poll that was commissioned by the folks at East Carolin University. In a
37:00
head to head matchup that's presuming that Governor Justice gets through the primary against Alex
37:05
Mooney and Chris Rose, it's not even close. I mean a matchup ahead
37:10
to add matchup between Governor Justice and Senator Mansion for that seat. I mean
37:15
as of right now and things. Things certainly can change, but it wouldn't
37:20
even be close. In that matchup, Governor Justice would win hands down.
37:23
But we shall see. Tex says do they have glocks? Well, I'll
37:30
find out for sure. I'm sure I can't imagine a firearm that Valley Outdoors
37:34
doesn't have. I'll look into that, but I'm pretty sure that they probably
37:37
did. Five eighty Live is brought to a part by QC Kinetics of Huntington

38:01
When the meantime, the governor has announced he is deploying fifty West Virginia
38:07
National Guard soldiers and airmen to the southern border. The governor says that Governor
38:12
Greg Abbott of Texas had asked several governors for help. In his briefing yesterday,
38:19
Governor Justice referred to the illegals coming over and the flood of fentnyl coming
38:23
over two. He also said this deployment will not impact the Guard members who
38:30
are helping with staffed issues. With the crisis that we have it, It's
38:34
an all about crisis, make no mistake about it. In her jails and
38:37
prisons here in West Virginia. A story about that posted at wv metronews dot

eight. We have an agreement in the House on the debt ceiling bill.
38:54
Interesting that West Virginia's Republicans in Congress split on the deal, with Carol Miller
39:01
voting yes and Alex Mooney voting no. Now, the final vote was three
39:07
fourteen to one, seventeen seventy one Republicans and forty six Democrats voting against the
39:12
bill. And again, as I mentioned on the show yesterday or the day
39:15
before, it's kind of an interesting dynamic there between the Republicans that are that
39:22
we're against the bill, that voted against it, and the Democrats that did
39:24
and they did so for primarily the same reasons is that they felt it didn't
39:30
go far enough. You know, Carol Miller was on Hoppy and she talked
39:34
about, you know, gets it, gets the okay the for the Keystone
39:37
pipeline, and that's basically why she did it. She was a yes and
39:45
Congressman Alex Mooney was a no. The bill will now go to the Senate.
39:49
Programming note, Senator shelleymore Capitau will weigh in on her opinion of the
39:54
bill that she and Senator Mansion will next be voting on. She'll be on
39:59
with Hoppy the top of the show this morning. I will say this that
40:02
in the past, both she and Senator Mansion has said they will support the
40:07
bill, and I really don't know why that would change I honestly. I
40:10
mean, she's she's gonna be a yes vote. Mansion is going to be
40:14
a yes vote. So that's kind of where we are there. Hey,

40:49
how Biden's DJ comes after Justice after the ECU polls showed him pounding mansion,
40:53
isn't it. They see him as a threat to their power and so they
40:57
have to find something noticed that this p This seems to be their pattern over
41:01
the past eight years. According to a texture, it's we met us away
41:06
from ten. We're gonna take a break. Comedian Dave Chappelle in town last
41:09
night and I did not did not take the show. Talk to a good
41:14
friend of mine this morning that did so. The show is absolutely hilarious.
41:16
As I said, I think, I think Dave Chappelle is probably the greatest
41:21
comedian of our time. And I mean in present time. I mean,
41:23
the man is a comedian genius. Not everybody likes him because of some of
41:29
the things he says, but they also didn't like Towards Carlin for the same
41:32
reason, and Eddie Murphy and Lenny Bruce and Richard prior to But there was
41:37

44:37
Well, so comedian Dave Chappelle was in town last night. Now,
44:44
this was announced last week suddenly, and I wasn't here, as you know,
44:47
I was on vacation last week. I did, however, watch with
44:51
interest the feeding Frenzy over those tickets. I mean it was just kind of
44:57
a pop up show. And I mean when it came out, I mean
45:00
there were people that were just said, is this a joke that Dave Chappelle,
45:05
you know, the single biggest comedian straight comedian, and what I mean
45:08
by straight comedians. H doesn't do a lot of acting. I mean he
45:12
does some, but I mean he's you know, he's not a Kevin Hard
45:15
type. It does a lot of movies. He pretty much, at least
45:16
recently the last couple of years, is sticking to stand up. Um,
45:21
they thought, I mean, is it is he really coming here? Well,
45:23
yeah, he did it. I mean it's audatorium last night. And
45:28
as I said, you know, the tickets just were I don't want to
45:30
say outrageous. I mean, nobody forces you to go if you don't want
45:35
to go, you don't have to go. If it's it's if it's out
45:36
of your price range, or you choose not to go. That's me,
45:39
I said, as much as as the biggest Chappelle fan as I am.
45:45
I ain't paying that kind of money to see anyone or anything. Just not
45:49
me. Don't hate on people to do. That's you. But that's just
45:53
not my thing. But Tod Sharone, I'm I'm kind of cheap that way.
45:58
Um. What I did find interest, though, is that there was
46:01
a policy put out there yesterday round this time yesterday. I guess the folks
46:07
with the Colosseum and Convention Center who run things at the Municipal Uditorium as well,
46:13
issued a statement, among other things, that there would be no cell
46:16
phones allowed at the performance. And I love it. I love it,
46:27
and I'm interested to know how you feel about it. You can text me
46:30
Fruit Pharmacy text three or four nine three five zero zero if you want to
46:34
weigh in audit. I talked to a friend of mine before the show who
46:37
I knew was going to the show. So about thirty months before my show,
46:40
I called him up and I said, Hey, were there any problems
46:45
with cell phones not being allowed there last night, and he said, no
46:52
one seemed to be upset that they had to give up their phones or just
46:58
not come in. And this is kind of the thing that's going on now.
47:01
And I guess the way it works is and again I wasn't there last
47:05
time, but I guess the way it works is they give you a bag
47:07
of some sorts that you check it in and it goes in a sealed bag
47:13
somewhere and you can go get it whenever you want, when you leave or
47:15
if something happens, but just can't bring it in to the show. And
47:19
absolutely, when I read this, I thought, this is the greatest thing
47:23
ever in my opinion, not being able to take phones into shows like this.
47:27
And frankly, I wish cell phones were banned in a lot more places.
47:31
My wife and I attended to show a couple of years ago. It's
47:34
Clay Center, And I'll be honest with you, it's not really the fault
47:37
of the Clay Center, folks, it just is where we are as a
47:39
society. It was hard for us to enjoy it as a musical concert,
47:43
and it was hard for us to enjoy the show because of everybody taking selfies
47:49
in front of the stage. And that's the era that we live in now,
47:53
folks. It's not about living in a moment. It's about documenting and
47:58
posting for likes the moment. Now. In this particular instance that I'm talking
48:02
about, it wasn't even about the singer on stage as much as it was
48:07
people taking selfies making sure everyone else knew that they were at the show,
48:15
if that makes any sense. So I say bravo to the Chappelle folks,
48:20
and I mean this wudatorium for carrying out the talents. Wishes and another friend
48:24
of mine have posted on Facebook about seeing people escorted out of a no phone
48:29
concert in Nashville. Again, I love it and taking this one step further,
48:37
and I couldn't believe that this was a thing, But I was reading
48:38
an article the other day about the growing problem of people going into weddings and
48:45
taking their own pictures. You know, the bride and groom pay X amount
48:50
of dollars for a photographer, but no, you're gonna upstage everyone there by
48:52
taking your own pictures and videos and then posting. In my line, you
48:57
know, it's not about you on that day, It's about the bride and
49:00
groom and if they're fine with it, then okay, then okay. And
49:06
some I've seen wedding announcement people said, you know, feel free to take
49:08
pictures. That's fine, But I'd be a little bit upset if I paid
49:14
a lot of money for a photographer and I get home and ten minutes later,
49:19
you know, you put your own pictures up. I just think the
49:22
world will be a whole lot better off if if we would leave the phones
49:25
at home. Every now and then text says how much were the tickets?
49:29
Um, I've seen they were. They were going for two fifty three hundred
49:32
initially, and then I saw them going online for much more than that after
49:37
the fact. Uh Texas, I remember printed tickets with no cameras printed on
49:43
them. Yeah, just hollywoo. Jeff Petty's my producer today. And Jeff
49:47
is a younger guy. And I say younger than me because everybody is younger
49:52
than me. Um, So how do you feel about this? I'm in
49:59
a way it is a good thing. The one problem, because I've been
50:02
sitting back here thinking about it for the past twenty or so minutes, the
50:07
one problem I could see with it, And I think you even addressed it
50:09
that they could walk out and go check their phones. Is if you know
50:12
they have like somebody that's sick, or kids or something like that. You
50:15
know, maybe an intermission you can walk out, check your phone, make
50:17
sure everything's fine, go back in. And another thing I'd like to add
50:22
on to with you saying, people, you know, trying to document the
50:25
moment, and people don't know how to live in the moment anymore. Like
50:30
I was born in ninety five and I consider myself a terrible millennial because I
50:35
don't take that many pictures when I go to a concert or or this or
50:37
that. I may take a couple and post it, but I'm not going
50:40
to sit there and take a picture of an entire album. That's a good
50:46
point. I got a couple of texts here. Text says tickets were one
50:49
thirty, ninety and seventy at the box office. Okay, but they were
50:52
going for online a whole lot more than that at the box office the day
50:54
they would un sale. Yes they were, but I'm talking because most people
50:58
probably didn't get them, or they tried to get him. And I mean
51:00
it was just social media. Man was just was just flooded with this with
51:04
the people trying and again more you know, I'm not I don't. If
51:08
that's what you want to spend your money on them, fine, and I
51:09
love Dave Chappelle. Probably not going to do that. That just me though,
51:14
Texas, dear day. The wife and I just left hours talking about
51:16
their phone in the car for an hour and a half, no issues.
51:19
But to tell the truth, you're too cheap and it was past your bedtime.
51:22
Both are true, both are one percent true. And another text,
51:29
somebody sent me a picture of their ticket and said that people knew when they
51:32
bought their tickets that there were no phones. It stated it right on the
51:35
ticket master website. Okay, so if that's the case, then people probably
51:38
should look at your tickets easier the people that were complaining online about it.
51:43
Possibly, but nonetheless, I just I'm a person that thinks that we would
51:47
be a whole lot better off if we said goodbye to the phones for um
51:52
for extended amounts of time. Text says my ex wife paid four hundred dollars
51:57
for a ticket. Well know that alimony was put to good news. All
52:01
Right, we gotta go, Thank you so much, Shytywoo Jef Petty my
52:05
producer, Jeff, Thank you so much. Thanks to Commissioner Lance Wheeler for
52:08
being on the show today and for our newest candidate, chance Walker, who
52:13
announced he was running for Republican House in District fifty two for next year.
