2:12
Brad Michaelhaney will check in from the Capital as we near the end of the
2:15
legislative session. Want to welcome into the show this morning, Senator Shelby more
2:20
Capital, Senator, good morning, Welcome to the show. Hey Dave,
2:23
good morning. How's it going. It is going well. Thank you for
2:25
being here. And I know, I know you don't have a lot of
2:28
time to spend with us day, but I do appreciate you reaching out.
2:31
I want to get right into the crisis at the border. It seems to
2:36
get worse, Senator every day, a lot of finger pointing and a lot
2:38
of blame to go around. I want to ask you like a multifaceted question
2:44
here. Okay, First of all, overall, what do you want to
2:47
say about the crisis at the border and the funding that is needed down there.
2:53
But last week, former President Trump visited an area of the border,
2:59
as did current President Joe Biden, and there's been some controversy as to the
3:04
two of them going. They went on the same day and where they visited,
3:07
So I'll let you take it from there. Okay, Well, Dave,
3:10
this is a crisis that hits every single state, and certainly hits West
3:15
Virginia. I got really steamed up last night because as I was looking through
3:19
Twitter, I saw where some of the MSNBC commentators had said, well,
3:23
why would Virginia care about immigration, and one of them wise cracked, Well,
3:29
they do have a border from West Virginia. Just shows me the arrogance
3:32
of that side of the aisle in terms of how immigration impacts. We see
3:38
fentanyl deaths, we see crime, We also see overrun facilities in certain states,
3:44
and so to say that it's only confined to the border is absolutely head
3:46
in the sand, incorrect. It's chaotic, it has been for years,
3:51
and it lays right at the feet of President Biden. There's no question about
3:55
it. Now he carps about funding. I was the chairman of the funder
3:59
of Homeland Security. Will be built the wall under President Trump and other things
4:03
they're funding there. It's just a matter of his priorities. So just this
4:08
past Monday, seven thousand people came across those numbers are crawling back up again
4:12
after they went down a little bit in January. So it is a national
4:16
tragedy. And this administration has many things they could have been doing that they
4:20
had not been doing. They could have done remain in Mexico, quicker asylum
4:24
claims, deportations and other things, and so where they went. I've been
4:30
to the border several times, as you know, and where you know,
4:34
President Biden went to Brownsville where they were getting you know, twelve people a
4:39
day, and President Trump, in contrast, went to Eagle Pass where they've
4:45
had thousands a day, so that he could really see what was going on.
4:47
But you know, even that doesn't matter as much as this open arms
4:54
catch and release that the president has done. We've got nine million people in
4:59
this country in the last three years that are illegally here, that are in
5:02
all kinds of our cities, taking over hotels and schools and eating up all
5:08
kinds of resources, committing crimes like we saw down in Georgia. So sorry
5:12
to get on a rent there, but it's very upsetting to me and all
5:15
of us in West Virginia. It's probably the issue in our state. Again,
5:19
we're talking with Senator Shelby Moore Capita. And again going back to the
5:23
visit down there last week that the president and the former president made actually had
5:29
textures to the show that kind of pointed that out. I was, like
5:30
a lot of people, I said, Okay, well the two of them
5:32
are going to the board. I didn't really put a lot of emphasis on
5:35
where they went. I don't think in regardless of how you feel about the
5:39
issue, I don't think. But by going to Brownsville, I think it
5:44
was that the current president really got a sense of what's going on there.
5:49
No, no, no, Basically, he's looking at he's looking at a
5:53
place that has a non existent problem when you have twelve people coming over where
5:58
you could have gone over to the Tucson sector in Arizona, where you've got
6:00
seventy three hundred people a day. So what do you see when you go
6:05
down to see twelve twelve people that come a day, very orderly, not
6:11
overrun border patrol, you know, easily processed people. When you have thousands
6:16
and thousands of people and you have the capacity to process them, it's chaos.
6:21
And that's what he would have seen if he'd gone to some other sectors
6:26
So the President, Senator Kapitot is due to give his State of the Union
6:29
speech tomorrow night. What do you expect to come from it? Well,
6:31
if he dares, which I think, he will get up there and say,
6:38
this border problem is your problem, Congress, I don't know what kind
6:41
of reception he's going to get met with. He has he repeatedly says this
6:46
publicly when we know that the policies of his administration are to blame. Now,
6:51
is there are the things Congress can do? Yes, But he's the
6:56
one that has to. So I expect him to say that. I expect
7:00
him to tell us that our economies are really doing well and inflation has slowed
7:05
well. I went to the grocery store on Sunday, as I usually do,
7:09
and I can tell you what I walked out of there. One hundred
7:12
and twenty five dollars for two people is a lot, when normally it might
7:15
be seventy seventy five if we're buying for a couple of days. So this
7:20
is hitting families, it's hitting everybody, these high prices in high inflation.
7:26
And then the international situation. We've got chaos in obviously Israel, we've got
7:30
it in Gaza and in Ukraine, over in the Chinese area, our bases
7:39
are being attacked. I mean, he has to come out with a strong
7:42
message there. So you know, usually these things things are sort of raw,
7:46
raw, a fairs up and down and very lengthy. But I think
7:49
he's going to try to convince us that everything's rosy, and I think the
7:54
crowd he's going to be talking to, plus the American people are going to
7:57
have a lot of skepticism about that. Shelley Moore Capito is with us this
8:01
morning. I'm going to kind of hit you one of the one I left
8:03
field here sit here. It was announced last week that Mitch McConnell is not
8:09
going to remain in his current position. Your name has been thrown out there.
8:15
That been some other names, but your name has been thrown out there
8:16
any interest at all, and you taken over that position. Well, I
8:20
am on the leadership team, an elected member of the Republican leadership on the
8:24
number five out of five, so actually five out of six. So I'm
8:28
proud to be there and have stood with Leader McConnell the last two years.
8:33
We're going to miss him. I mean, I know he has his his
8:37
detractors, but I mean he is a steadfast champion for Cole and for judicial
8:43
reform and for keeping the wheels on in the Senate. So I'm going to
8:48
see how this whole thing plays out. You know, there's lots of things
8:52
in motion. I can't imagine I would be tapped for the head leadership position,
8:56
but I would like to stay in the leadership. Yes, speaking of
9:01
presidents, as we were earlier following Super Tuesday, the writing is now on
9:05
the proverbial wall. We pretty much knew this going in. Former President Trump
9:09
is going to be the Republican nominee a rematch with current President Joe Biden twenty
9:13
twenty. Nikki Haley came out earlier that she is suspending her campaign. Official
9:18
announcement is due. I think around tennerds of this morning in the press conference.
9:22
Your thoughts on Super Tuesday and a Trump Biden rematch, Well, I
9:26
think obviously I endorsed President Trump, served under him, and thought the policies
9:31
not just as the border, but the economic policies and our international policies were
9:35
strong, very strong under President Trump, and West Virginians by and large embraced
9:41
the Trump policies. So I do as well. I would say that I'm
9:46
a little conflicted here, because not little conflicted that sounds I'm not conflicted in
9:52
my support of President Trump, but I'm conflicted on President Biden because his policies
9:58
have just failed us, and I just feel like his time is passed.
10:03
And uh and so I worry that we're going to have a little black kind
10:07
of campaign because it's it's a rematch, but I think President Trump will do
10:11
a lot to stir that back up. Senator Cabiteat, And is always a
10:16
pleasure to have you on the show, and I appreciate you taking time to
10:20
be here. Thanks a lot. Well, thank you very much. If
10:22
I could just say one the week of the girls basketball, yes it is.
10:26
And I normally don't put my foot on the pedal for anybody, but
10:31
our daughter played. She was a GW Patriot. She never made it to
10:33
the state tournament. So I know they're top ranked. I wish them good
10:37
luck. I wish everybody good luck, but especially good luck for them,
10:41
is what you're saying. Yeah, a little bit extra good luck for the
10:43
Patriots. That's understandable, Senator. I appreciate it. That's fair, that's
10:48
fair. I appreciate you being here we'll talk sing thanks a lot, Thank

11:22
says it's a shame you've not asked about these scuttled Senate bill and said you
11:26
ask about fueling idiots at the border. Why does Congress not do its job?
11:31
It's always the president that needs to do it. The job of controlling
11:33
the border is a congressional job, says a textra textas said Dave Capitol has
11:39
been in Congress for seventeen years. Where has she been on the border crisis?
11:43
And all these businesses hiring illegals, including Trump, why aren't they going
11:46
after them? Economy booming? Well, look, let me just say this,
11:50
and I can't answer for Senator Capitol on this. As far as the
11:54
economy is booming, yeah, but I will say, go to the grocery
11:58
store and tell me we're in a good economic spot. The economy, the
12:03
hiring, everything may be going well, but at the end of the day,
12:07
it's going to come down to what do I pay for a loaf of
12:09
bread? That's what people care about. That's what people care about. Uh
12:15
Texas. So good of you not to ask Capito why she's failed to do
12:18
anything on immigration her entire career. There was a bipartisan proposal that was killed
12:22
by Republicans, but sure, let Capito lie about it, says a texture.
12:28
Okay, this is actually she addressed. This, says Dave. What
12:33
the Center Capitol think of. MSNBC's Jempesaki stating I live in Virginia, immigration
12:37
was the number one issue, ba Zaki said, drawing laughter from Joey Reid.
12:41
Well, West Virginia does have a border I'm sorry. Virginia does have
12:45
a border with West Virginia, a very contested area. Rachel Maddow says,
12:50
the Texas sarcastically chimed in, setting off more chortals from her co host.
12:54
Despite the MSNBC's crew snide remarks, voters cited immigration as the most important problem
13:00
facing the US in a recent poll. Well, I mean, you know,
13:03
I'm one of these people. I hate when people use the term the
13:07
media, because what exactly is the media? There are so many different layers
13:11
to what the media is. However, it is it is, and this
13:16
is my opinion, my opinion only. It is no secret that a large
13:20
contingent of national media, particularly the ones that lean a little left or a
13:26
lot left, have a disdain for anything that is not New York, Chicago,
13:31
Los Angeles and Red States in general. I mean, you see it
13:37
all the time, Texas. I believe progress is being made on the border
13:43
security when there's mandatory imprisonment for employers of undocumented immigrant workers. Until then,
13:48
it's political theater Dave Allen Show, and it's softball questions. It's a tester,
13:54
all right, We're going to take a break when we come back,

16:30
like Shelley is angling for Senate leadership. Well, she kind of she addressed
16:34
that, but I mean she kind of kind of painted it to me like
16:38
it would be a long shot if she if she were, but she is
16:41
part of the leadership committee there. He currently serves as the chief deputy for
16:45
Kenaw County Sheriff's Office, but he'd like to be the league guy there.
16:48
Sheriff Mike Rutherford, of course, is term limited out can't run again by
16:52
state code, but Joe Crawford can and he joins us. Now, Joe,
16:55
good morning, Welcome to the show. Good morning, Dave, Thank
16:56
you for having me, Thank you for being I think it's the first time
16:59
you've actual been in studio. It had been on the phone several times with
17:03
various events. We don't have I mean, we always have crime to talk
17:06
about, and we'll get into that, but there's nothing major breaking today other
17:10
than to just talk about your campaign. How many years have you been in
17:12
law enforcement, Jim Dave, I've been in thirty seven years. I've had
17:15
a great, great ride, plenty of opportunities. I've been truly, truly
17:21
blessed in my career. So with that having been said, why why at
17:25
this point do you want to run for sheriff. You know, I took
17:27
Sheriff Rother reached out to me and said, hey, Greg Grant Young the
17:33
chief debt he was returning, he said, Hey, I'd like to meet
17:34
with you and talk to you and see if you'd be interested. So when
17:37
he offered me that position, we met and we discussed a couple of things,
17:41
and you know, I thought, maybe at some point in time I
17:45
may want to run for sheriff, a long you know, long time prior
17:48
to that, but that opportunity availed itself, and so, you know,
17:52
two years later, here I am. I started this journey back in June
17:55
when I made the decision that I was going to run. I announced my
17:59
candissy in June of twenty twenty three and had a couple events and kicked it
18:03
off there. Got overwhelming response and support from a lot of the local people
18:11
here in the Canal Valley. So what went into that decision at this point?
18:15
I mean, I know, I mean what I mean, A lot
18:18
of thoughts because it's a major decision. It was a very, very big
18:22
decision for me to do that. At first, I wanted to talk to
18:26
my family, consult my family and make sure that they were on board.
18:30
Then I wanted to look at you know, uh, is it something that
18:34
that is doable? And at the end of the day, I did my
18:37
research and did some homework and went and talked to a couple of people and
18:41
found out that I had probably a little bit more support than what I thought.
18:45
And it was at that point, after a careful consideration with my family
18:48
and praying about it, that you know, I decided to go ahead and
18:52
throw my name and a hat for share. And it's interesting that you mentioned
18:56
that about consulting with your family, because anytime that you for any political office,
19:00
no matter what it is, the family gets impacted as well. But
19:03
it's a special kind of person. I've always said that could be a law
19:07
enforcement officer, but it's even more special to be the family member of all
19:11
because they were bad, just too figuratively speaking, of course, and they
19:15
have scars just like we did. Yes, yeah, I mean very very
19:18
few other professions does a spouse or mother or father or you know have to
19:23
look at him and when they go out the door, and not to be
19:26
fatalistic, Joe, but to say, you know, there's always a chance
19:29
that they may not come back today. That's correct. You know, we
19:30
were fortunate, blessed. Last week we had one of our deputies shot and
19:33
injured line of duties. Recovering well, we're doing everything to make sure he
19:37
has everything he needs. He's he's doing really well, and we expect a
19:41
full recovery. But we always know that that's a possibility when we go out
19:45
that door, you know. And I've been around it my whole life,
19:47
Dave. My father, my father was a policeman in South Charleston. That's
19:51
where I was born and raised. Of course, I got into it at
19:55
an early age. And now my son, he's he's also a deputy here
19:59
a the Sheriff's office. He's been in for fifteen or sixteen years. So
20:02
we got three generations of law enforcement the family. So yeah, we kind
20:06
of grew up around at all our whole life. Give me your bio.
20:08
And again we're talking with Joe Crawford, who is candidate for sheriff. He's
20:11
currently the chief deputy. Give us your bio other than law enforcem what kind
20:15
of guys, Joe Crawford? What do you like to do away from the
20:18
badge? I love to play golf. I love Are you any good out
20:21
of them? I'm not too shabby. I'm not too shabby. I got
20:23
I got a single digit handicap. Put it out, okay, all right,
20:26
right, I have since I started his journey, haven't got to play
20:27
much. But that's okay, Well, what do you become sheriff? Youre
20:30
gon'na play even last year, realize that probably you better learn to play the
20:33
video version. That's about all you're gonna get. But go ahead, So
20:37
you know, I I came through and was able to, you know,
20:42
make that decision. But a little bit about where I've been and what I've
20:48
done thirty seven years. I was at Saint Albans for twenty five years.
20:52
I started my career in Dunbar Police Department back in nineteen eighty six. And
20:57
when it's a Dunbar, or left Dunbar, went to Saint Aubans, and
21:00
then I went to I retired in two thousand and six or twenty eleven.
21:06
I became chief in two thousand and six and twenty eleven. I left to
21:08
take a job at the Federal courthouse. I was in charge of judicial security
21:12
at the Southern District in the federal courthouses. I did that for about two
21:15
years and then took a job chief of police is Eleanor. That was my
21:19
Mayberry. I call it yeah, good town to be at police in the
21:22
mean streets of Eleanor, Patty. It was good. I love Eleanor.
21:26
It was a great, great experience, great people. Know the Mayor of
21:29
vers are a good friend of mine. Yeah, it's a great place.
21:30
And then I left there and went to the Attorney General's Office for a year
21:34
as an investigator for General Morsey. It was the public integrity and political corruption.
21:40
I did that for about a year, and then with the Yeager Airport
21:42
for two years and then back to Saint Aubans for five years stand as the
21:48
chief then and then to the Sheriff's office. So that's kind of the whirlwind
21:52
of how it got to wear I've been very blessed. I've had a lot
21:55
of opportunities to be able to have that wide array of experience, and I
22:00
think it's made me a good choice for candidate for sheriff because I've got all
22:06
that to help me and I've learned a lot from those experiences. Talking with
22:10
Joe Crawford again, who's the candidate for sheriff here in Kana County. The
22:12

22:30
There's a Bridge Valley dot edu slash apprenticeships today, Joe. A lot
22:33
of people, I think when they think about someone being the sheriff, they
22:37
only think about the law enforcement aspect of Obviously that is, that's the big
22:41
thing, but there's a whole lot under the way that code is set up
22:45
in West Virginia, the sheriff and the Sheriff's department is responsible for a lot
22:49
more than just law enforcement. Absolutely, you got five divisions. You have
22:53
Law Enforcement division, tax division, you know we're chief tax collector. You
22:57
have home confinement day port. So you have all those different components that the
23:06
sheriff is responsible for. And it's it. You know, you're looking at
23:11
a probably close too hundred employees that you managed and supervise, you know,
23:15
on a daily basis. And the fact that Kanawak County is such a large
23:18
area, I mean, it's largest county in the state. And when you
23:21
think about going from one end of Canaan County. I mean, you couldn't
23:23
get areas in here any more different. You know, you got your more
23:26
metro areas such as Charles and now I have their own police departments. But
23:30
you all got you guys all have to work together too. You got Saint
23:33
Albans, and you got Dunbar, and youve got Charleston South Tarles. But
23:36
you also got the further region, the Campbell's Creek and all these other places
23:38
that that you got to get to too. It's sometimes not too easy traveling
23:42
from Saint Albans to the head of Cabin Creek. Yeah, it's pretty good.
23:45
Hall, Yeah, it is absolutely great. You know, Kanaw County
23:49
is nine hundred and eleven square miles. You know, we got the pop
23:52
la from class I think one hundred and seventy five thousand people and during the
23:56
day it's a lot more than that. So we we do a great job.
24:00
We pride ourselves on our men. We had some of the best men
24:03
and women in law enforcement. Your best commodity is your employees. And we've
24:08
got a great group of people that go out every day and take care of
24:12
business and fight to fight every day and they do a great job. Talk
24:18
about the buy in from the community and the community support that. I mean
24:22
as somebody who has been in law enforcement as long as you have, and
24:26
I talked to the new Charleston Police chief about this a couple of weeks ago.
24:30
I mean, you guys are the best at what you do police officers
24:33
in general, but you still got to have a lot of buy in,
24:34
Joe from the community. You do, and I think that's the shift or
24:38
the difference now of recruiting and retention. And you know, we pride ourselves
24:44
here at the county. I mean, we've got a great relationship with the
24:47
County Commission. They've been very, very supportive of the sheriff's officers. Can't
24:51
say enough about the Commission giving us the funding that we need to make sure
24:56
we present the best service that we can provide to this citizens and couldn't be
25:00
done without that. It's a team effort. I mean, that's the thing.
25:03
There's no individuals in this game, Dave. It's all about a team
25:06
effort and bringing people together. And life's about relationships. You know, you
25:10
make those relationships, you protect those relationships, they'll never leave you. And
25:15
you always have those things I think that's a big part of who I am
25:18
is because over the years, you know, thirty seven years in this business,
25:21
it's all been about having good relationships and being able to work together and
25:25
get things accomplished. Talk about recruiting, you mentioned the numbers I know that
25:29
are police forces nationwide are having an issue right now with getting people wanting to
25:33
go into this profession. You've seen it in the different departments that you've been
25:40
in, not only with the sheriff's part, but also in the municipalities.
25:44
If you're elected sheriff. How do we get more bodies? How do we
25:47
get more people to want to go into this Well, I think the frame
25:51
and the structures there, because I think our pay you know, since I
25:53
came on board probably about a year and a half into it, we were
25:56
able to secure a fourteen percent pay raise for our deputies took us to the
26:02
top of the scale statewide. We're able to do that with the help of
26:06
the Commission and the funding. So, uh, that's a plus. You
26:10
know, when you're trying to recruit and retain people, obviously pay as a
26:12
as a factor of it, but you know, having good equipment, good
26:15
training, providing them the tools and resource. I think that's that's what a
26:21
leader is, and I think that's what a manager is in law enforcement is
26:26
being able to identify those needs and get your men and women the training,
26:32
the equipment and technology that they need to do their job and be very success
26:36
successful. And I think we've done a really good job doing that, and
26:38
I look forward to the future being able to move the department forward with that
26:44
same type of drive and commitment. Your predecessor, in most people's opinion,
26:49
Sheriff Mike Rutherford did a good job at Sheriff's pretty pretty big shoes to feel
26:53
very tall, order to feel you know, Sheriff and I are very good
26:57
friends and have been for a while, a long time. I remember when
27:02
I first started, I always looked and saw him around. He's a Saint
27:06
a Saint Albans guy, so we had that in common. And he started
27:10
at Saint Auban's PD so in his early career. So he's uh, he's
27:15
been a good friend. He's been good to me, you know, he's
27:18
uh, he's pretty solid. Like I said, it is a tall order.
27:21
You look at what they've accomplished. Somebody just don't get elected four terms
27:25
as sheriff and not be doing a good job. You know exactly right,
27:27
what makes you the better candidate? I mean you talked about your experience,
27:32
but overall, what makes what makes your cross the better candidate? I think
27:34
that the experience, but I think too being able to work together, reach
27:40
across the aisle, get things done. I spent a lot of time in
27:42
the legislature later day, being able to fight bad legislation and stop bad legislation.
27:48
A lot of times, it's not what you get past, it's what
27:51
you get stopped, and then be able to work together to find common ground
27:55
and have good legislation. So I pride myself on that. I did that
27:59
for about twenty years as the FOP Vice president. So I think, uh,
28:03
I think having good healthy relationships, being able to work together in the
28:07
team effort, and you work together as a team, moving moving the department
28:11
forward to the to the future, and like I said, just looking ahead
28:15
and making sure they've got the equipment of tools and the technology they need to
28:21
carry on their mission. We did have the text here because I failed to
28:23
mention this that if you heard the show yesterday, I said I had a
28:26
candidate yesterday on that was running for magistrate And somebody said you got to ask
28:30
them their party affiliation. So your party affiliation is Republican. Okay, all
28:34
right? Your website, social media, get anything, Facebook, Facebook page,
28:41
Joey Crawford for Sheriff at gmail dot com. Okay, joe Crawford Sheriff
28:48
at gmail dot com is my website. So okay, Uh what final thirty?
28:53
Why should somebody vote for joe Crawford. I think, uh, you
28:56
know, based on uh A. I think one of the experience. I
29:00
think I am the most qualified candidate to move and be the sheriff of Kennall
29:06
County. Nothing against my opponent. My opponent's got twenty seven years in last
29:11
night we weread a meeting and I acknowledged that and I thank him for his
29:14
service. But I think the experience that I have, you know, I've
29:18
got a wide range of experience, and I think I've been able to work
29:22
at all levels of government. And I think at the end of the day,
29:26
it's just doing the right thing. You know, sometimes doing the right
29:30
things not politically correct. It's not popular among the rank and file people,
29:34
but I think at the end of the day, it's doing what's right.
29:37
You have to do the right thing, and I've always prided myself and been
29:40
able to do that. I mean, I'm a proven guy. I've I've
29:41
been in leadership roles since two thousand and six, so I've got the experience
29:47
and the knowledge and the drive to be the next year, we issued the
29:52

hundred million reasons not to touch West Virginia's unemployment fund. That's how much our

state's unemployment fund currently has. Four hundred million dollars you and I worked hard
31:49
for to protect us. If we lose our job, why would politicians cut
31:55
money we earned and rely on? Cutting unemployment? Making it harder on our

families is not while we sent them to Charleston, tell legislators hands off our

33:00
with Brad mclanny. Brad, good morning, how are you? Good morning,
33:02
Dave? I am, I am fine. We are on edge about
33:07
you know, everything here coming down to the end. And you're mark safe
33:12
from having your helicopter repossessed, Is that right? Yes? You know,
33:16
the one thing that really helps in the situation is not having a helicopter in
33:20
the first place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the governor, on
33:22
the other hand, is in a different situation. His Bluestone Industries last Friday
33:28
was given seventy two hours to turn over the helicopter that has been in dispute
33:35
to turn over for sale, so that eventually two different lenders, two different
33:44
financial partners, potentially could reap the proceeds of that sale and somehow split the
33:52
proceeds between them. The bottom line, though, is that the governor and
33:55
his Bluestone Industries would be out one helicopter, which is to your disadvantage if
34:00
you intend to be in the US Senate while also coaching basketball in Greenboro County.
34:07
Yeah. Yeah, but the season came to an end, so I
34:09
mean, at least at least for this season. But no, there's no
34:13
no signs and he's kind of alluded to that if he is elected for Senate
34:15
that he is going to give that up. You know, Brad. It's
34:19
it's been an eventful morning in the world of media here in West Virginia.
34:21
And I'm gonna do a little Dave commentary I call them davidtorials about that a
34:24
little bit later on. I have far too much respect for you as a
34:28
real journalist unlike me to ask you to take part, So all fly solo
34:30
on that one a little bit later on. But I want to talk about
34:34
budget. The House passed a four point nine to nine billion dollar budget.
34:37
As you said on X the artist is formally known as Twitter. So so
34:40
now that that they got that past, what's next? Who knows? And
34:46
that is one of the excitements and frustrations of being here. So it flies
34:53
on over to the Senate. But if you were GUPLE listeners, if you
34:58
were if you heard Senator Eric Are on talk line yesterday, he has concerns
35:04
about a few things. The four hundred and sixty five million dollar shadow that
35:09
is haunting the state from the federal government saying that West Virginia took down COVID
35:15
relief dollars meant to support education. But the federal position seems to be that
35:22
West Virginia did not uphold its own consistent spending on education, that it dipped.
35:29
And so the bottom line is West Virginia potentially their negotiations going on,
35:32
but potentially could be on the hook for up to four hundred and sixty five
35:37
million dollars to the Feds. And then you know the big issues. Well,
35:42
another unknown is that the big tax cut the past just last year,
35:49
the twenty one and a quarter percent income tax cut, now comes potentially with
35:53
another trigger that could reduce taxes up to ten percent more, but the state
35:59
doesn't really know yet if it's going to hit that trigger. That'll be determined
36:02
August into the fall, so another unknown. So, you know, Senator
36:07
Tara, I think makes actually a reasonable fact based case that they're Although the
36:13
budget is due right now, there are things that we just don't know.
36:16
Hanging in the balance is not only the budget, but also the five percent
36:22
pay raises for public employees, including teachers, that the governor has promised over
36:25
and over. Senator tar says he's not sure if that actually is affordable by
36:30
the state this year or in coming years. It's an expense you wouldn't just
36:35
take on one year. You know, it's in the budget thereafter because you're
36:38
not reducing people's pay back to what it was the following year. And then
36:44
a social Security tax the governor promised in his State of the State address a
36:46
tax cut on the state income taxes on Social Security. The governor wanted to
36:52
just eliminate that entirely. The House has phased it out over three years and
36:59
the Senate. The Senate passed bill yesterday. It's hard to understand, but
37:01
they've pegged it to the trigger. I just talked about. So the higher
37:07
the trigger is generally for income taxes, the less the Social Security tax cut
37:13
would be. Anyway, never mind, just mark that off your way forward.
37:16
But there's all kinds of stuff in the air, and only a few
37:21
days ago. There's a lot of talk about in May special Session already,
37:24
and I wouldn't be surprised at all if we come out of this past sixty
37:30
days still having an answer some of these key questions in May or sooner.
37:36
Don't give up your hotel room at the Marriot's what you're telling us from of
37:38
these legislatures. The Dave Allen, Joe and five A and I brought to
37:42

a project you're about to get underway, they can help locally owned and operated
37:51
General Hardware and General Lumber, vis A, General Hardware, WV dot Com.
37:54
Brad. Let's talk about poorn in the libraries. It's back again,
37:59
because we all know if if you want quality pornography, that your local library
38:01
is the place to get it. What have they done now? They are
38:05
combining legislation, which on one side is what really it's popping. On both
38:10
sides is criminalizing artificial intelligence child pornography. But they're combining that, as best
38:16
I understand it, with the Library Obscenity Bill. Now, editors note Delegate
38:22
Joey Garcia of Marion County, who is one of the opponents of the bill.
38:24
We'll be on with Hopey in the Capitol next hour. So am I
38:29
reading this right? They're combining the two things. Now, yes you are,
38:32
And you know that's a deadline situation with the session ending Saturday. But
38:37
the House passed that Library Obscenity Bill with lots of public consternation, and then
38:45
it went over to the Senate where senators just sat on it. It was
38:49
assigned to the Judiciary Committee in I think late February, didn't go anywhere,
38:54
didn't get taken up. Senate didn't say anything about it, just kind of
39:00
quiet. And so what you saw the House Judiciary Committee do yesterday was take
39:06
a bill that was marginally related pornography and artificial intelligence and amended in to try
39:17
to send it back like a rocket over to the Senate. And it's still
39:22
got to be potentially voted on now on the house floor. So you know,
39:29
each day there's less and less time to be dealing with this stuff.
39:31
But potentially by the end of the week it could be like a keenan ball
39:37
over there in the Senate and they would have to decide what to do.
39:42
Interesting, and a sausage machine is sometimes not making sausage. It's sometimes just
39:49
sort of making moaning noises. And sometimes sausage is splattered on the walls around
39:53
here, and sometimes it makes like sausage and lobster patties. Brad hen is
40:01
getting crazy, Brad. We have got to get you out of there,
40:05
man, you have lost your mind. We have got to get so we're
40:07
Steven Adams or what we need to Amelia or somebody in there to help you,
40:12
to get you out of there because you may have officially lost it.
40:15
I'm kidding, I'm kiddy. You're the best that there is man, all
40:16
right? So what are you keep an eye on today over there? Brad
40:22
Well, I mean any movement on the budget. But there are a couple
40:23
of things. This is the way it is. I will I will confide
40:28
in you. Nothing is really happening at all that would be of interest until
40:31
one o'clock, and then all the things are happening. So this is what
40:35
I mean about the sausage machine. Okay, it's gonna the sausage machine is
40:38
not going to be cracking out any sausage, and then it's gonna overheat.
40:42
At one pm, and in the Senate Health Committee, they're doing on the
40:47
agenda is the broadening of vaccination exemptions for school kids in West Virginia. At
40:53
the same time one o'clock, the House Education Committee is supposed to be taking
40:59
up the student discipline bill that you've heard a lot about, trying to figure
41:04
out if kids are disruptive or total bullies or even dangerous, how to potentially
41:09
isolate them from the kids in the main classroom so the kids in the main
41:14
classroom can continue to learn that that has been how to go about that has
41:19
been divisive between the House and the Senate, and then the Senate. The
41:22
House Education Committee, which has that student discipline bill at one o'clock. At
41:28
the same time on the agenda has a bill that would allow student athletes on
41:34
their school teams to also do travel ball at the same time, and that's
41:38
been controversial as well. So all the things are happening at one o'clock.
41:44
But the usual caveat is that they could just as easily be pulled off agendas
41:47
and not happen at all. That's what happens throughout the session, especially in
41:52
these last couple of days as the clock is taking rad I want to try
41:55
to have you on if you've got time. Maybe one day next week we'll
41:59
do a recap of everything if you're or you may just want a detox for
42:01
a while after being there for the last fifty five or so days, So
42:06
I'll get with you a little bit later on. Brad will be following your
42:08
stuff online and on the air. I appreciate it, man, thanks a
42:10
lot. Hey, thanks you, Brad mclanney. I just don't know where
42:15
Brad was going with that. I mean he starts something by lobster and sausage

47:04
a little programming if you're coming up on the show tomorrow. We have
47:08
heard all about the controversy surrounding the high cost of prescription drugs, So well,
47:12
what if I told you that there is a pharmacy that is fighting against
47:15
the high cost. It seems kind of crazy, but we're going to get
47:19
into that on the show tomorrow. One local pharmacy is taking issue with the
47:22
cost of prescription drugs. Now, it is a complicated story that involves Peia,
47:28
It involves a legislature and some major pharmaceutical chains as well. We're going
47:31
to do a deep dive into that tomorrow, Texas, Dave, we now
47:36
have a legislature's war on women, communities, and now it's on school children
47:40
and libraries according to a texture, all right, so how to address this?
47:49
Late last night on the interwebs comes a story reported from a Pittsburgh news
47:54
site called The Pittsburgh Observer about one of the four leading Republican candidates for governor
48:04
being gay. Now, the headline reads blank could become West Virginia's first gay
48:13
governor. And I'm leaving the name out because I have a tendency not to
48:17
deal in tabloid crap on this show, especially when it comes from a fake
48:22
news site, which it obviously is. I mean, they tried to make
48:31
it look real, but a simple Google search shows that it's from a website
48:38
that is obviously not real. Unfortunately, all the good that technology provides,
48:46
it also provides the ability to do stuff like this to make things look like
48:51
they're coming from a real site, which they are not, and that does
48:54
not keep people from sharing it all over social media tech, et cetera.
49:01
And and that is that's the point behind it, is just to get it
49:07
out there. It came out like at some point late last night, and
49:14
I got up this morning to like ten thousand texts about it being shared.
49:22
And of course, if you know, I wondered about even bringing it up
49:28
on the show because I thought, well, maybe I'm adding a little bit
49:30
more fuel to the fire here. But it's from a fake news site.
49:36
It's not to mean again except well Google's your friend, as they say,
49:39
you can find it's not from a real website. But once something is out
49:44
there, as they say, you can't put the ketchup back in the bottom.
49:46
And so it's out there, and I have my speculations as to who
49:55
was behind it. But again I use on this show not to engage in
50:05
TMZ inside edition kind of stuff. I mean, it's out there, no
50:14
pun intended, and if you haven't seen it yet, you will, you
50:17
will. And just remember that someone wanted to bury a political candidate in the
50:30
state for a state race so badly that either either they or their people took
50:40
the time to create a fake news site and to create a fake story.
50:46
I don't know about people's personal lives or their sexuality, nor do I care.
50:57
That's just me speaking, not as talk show speaking as voters. And
51:00
when I saw something like that, fake or not, is it going to
51:06
give me pause to vote for the person? This is just me speaking personally,
51:08
not the opinions of the advertisers of this show or anybody else affiliated with
51:14
us. No, no, sorry, it's not. Now. There are
51:19
those and I was talking to somebody about it earlier day that say that it
51:22
will make a difference. Uh, I don't know. It's it's simply I'm
51:29
kind of one of those people. It's none of my business who people sleep
51:32
with. I don't. I just I simply don't care. It's none of
51:37
my business what people do in their personal lives. I know it's an old
51:39
school kind of thought, but let me knock. Have a couple of text
51:45
here. I had got to get to the ones that are serious here.
51:47
Okay, well, okay, I can't read that. I do the best
51:52
I could. I do the best I could. Uh not, even says
51:55
a textra a good attempt to crush this person. Website only opened like a
52:00
week ago. Okay, another conspiracy here. All right, so well,
52:07
anyway, we solved nothing. Might be bringing that up, by the way,
52:09
just so you know, solved absolutely nothing, but all right, all
52:14
right, we gotta go. Thanks to u Joe Crawford, candidate for sheriff
52:17

52:20
