eight. Well, before we get into all that, we've all heard about
2:38
the crisis surrounding foster care in West Virginia. Some folks are planning some events
2:42
to hopefully help out a little with the problem. And actually there's an event
2:46
being planned for next Wednesday. I think it is at river Ridge Church at
2:49
HRC, and it's being held there, but it's being hosted by a group
2:53
called Chestnut Mountain Village. Greg Clutter is the director of foster care Initiatives at
2:58
the Chestnut Mountain Village Minister and he joins us via the biggleg Bigley Pigglely Wiggly
3:02
hot line This morning, Greg, good morning, How are you, sir,
3:06
Thanks for joining us. Good morning. I am very well, Dad.
3:08
Thanks so much for having us. Thanks what you do, Thanks for
3:10
what you do for our community and states. It's an honor to be here.
3:14
Well, it's not honored to have you here, sir, before we
3:16
talk about the event next week, in your involvement and the involvement of a
3:20
lot of other people, this foster care crisis in West Virginia. Greg,
3:23
just a little background for our listeners this morning. The state of West Virginia
3:30
has the highest number of kids in the foster care system per capita in the
3:35
nation. Now think about that, little old West Virginia. We have the
3:38
highest number, according to the stats, the highest number of kids in the
3:42
foster care system per capita in the entire nation. Our numbers are three times
3:46
that of the national average. And I think sometimes Greg, in West Virginia
3:52
we tend to look down if you wild to the problems of larger cities,
3:55
you know, the more metropolitan areas, we say, oh that this is
3:59
we throw out those terms. And I'm as guilt as anybody saying, well,
4:01
the inner cities or the big cities, the New York, Chicago,
4:04
whatever, we have much higher numbers when it comes to kids that are in
4:08
crisis than any of those cities do. How did we get there? Well,
4:14
I think the biggest contributing factor, no suppress to you or your listeners,
4:16
has been just the ongoing substance abuse issues and addiction issues we've had not
4:24
only in West Virginia but throughout Appalachia, and they've caused alarming rates of just
4:29
breakdowns in families where where primary families are no longer to take no longer able
4:34
to take care of their own children due to addiction. So it's been something
4:41
that's been building over the years. You know, if you go back seven
4:44
years ago, we were about half the number of foster care kids in Totville
4:48
in West Virginia. But as we saw this opioid addiction crisis get worse and
4:54
worse, we saw those numbers double over a period of just a few years.
4:59
And that's that's at the point where the folks at Chestnut Mountain Ranch that
5:03
we're going to launch something and that's history that we're talking about today to try
5:09
to find a way to look at this differently and as rested differently. There
5:15
are just so many kids. It's not a problem that's easily solved. It's
5:18
not a problem that's easily solved in any community. When you have numbers like
5:24
West Virginia, it has it's a it's a place where we all need to
5:28
play a role. And that's when we jumped in and said, we the
5:31
faith community can play a very unique role here based upon what we're seeing throughout
5:38
the nation and kind of a movement in the faith community throughout the nation,
5:41
and we're bringing that. We're bringing that here to West Virginia. One other
5:45
number, and then I want to get into specifically what you folks in the
5:46
faith community are trying to do about this. Eighty five percent of the cases
5:51
in which kids were removed from the home are due in some part to some
5:57
sort of substance abuse. I mean, and you alluded that at the beginning
6:00
of the interview, Greg, and these numbers aren't getting any better, Okay,
6:03
So what is it that the faith community now has planned and what do
6:09
you hope to do here? So really what we're doing is we're the working
6:14
to the beilies. We're working to mobilizing, guide and kind of equipped the
6:16
faith community. When we looked a couple years ago and started to launch this
6:21
ministry, we started looking at what was going on across the country and there
6:26
were a few things that we saw. First of all, no one's going
6:28
to be surprised when you hear me say we have a dearth of foster families.
6:31
We're always here and that more foster families are needed, more families to
6:34
care for these kids. If you peel the onion back a little bit day,
6:39
we just peel back a layer of that that is really a twofold problem.
6:43
One is we just need to recruit more families. More families need to
6:46
be in and sign up for the fight. But the second piece of that
6:49
is just the unbelievable ranks of turnover. If we look at foster families that
6:55
are recruited, about fifty percent of them within the first year stop fostering.
7:00
Just think of that, you haven't replaced half of them. Every year.
7:04
Within two years, eighty percent of them stopped. So it's literally this turnover.
7:10
Imagine trying to run a business, yes, imagine trying to do that
7:15
with that kind of turnover. So you're never going to catch up. What
7:18
we found when we took this, when we took this look across the nation,
7:23
across the country, which is kind of what's led us to do what
7:26
we're doing next week. Uh, we looked and found and saw this this
7:30
trend that when foster families, kinship families, even adopted families, but really
7:35
when foster families are surrounded by a Christ centered, caring, loving, organized
7:43
community, those numbers day's completely slipped. It goes from eighty percent of these
7:48
families stop within two years to ninety percent of them that are that are surrounded
7:54
by what we call a care community or just any level of care through a
7:58
church, ninety percent of them still fostering in that into that second year.
8:01
It completely changes it. So we start addressing first through the church, just
8:07
finding different ways to help. And we've seen several churches in the shop begin
8:13
to do this. River Ridge and Tays Valley of course, is one of
8:16
them, and we're seeing just tremendous impact and strengthening those families so they foster
8:22
longer and stronger. And then as people in the church starting to being closer
8:28
to the foster care Christ and learn about it more and more, we see
8:33
more stepping into fostering as a result. So it ends up also being a
8:37
great way to really to get people closer to the issue help in a variety
8:43
of Lady, we're talking with Greg Glutter, get about this big event.
8:46
Now you mentioned River Ridge Church of church I'm very familiar with in the Tays
8:50
Valley area of Hurricane You bring it in I think some some pretty heavy hitters
8:54
to try to address this problem. Talk about that, Yeah, sosolutely.
9:00
So we're going to spend the day at the All in Foster Care Summit coming
9:03
up next Wednesday, May third. The summit program kicks off at nine.
9:09
We're all gonna be focused on two things. One is, how can the
9:13
church and faith community get more involved in non traditional ways, not just trying
9:18
to recruit people to foster, but in ways we say this thing, everybody
9:22
can do something. We think every church can play some role in some small
9:26
or large way. So we're gonna be focused a lot on that. Second
9:31
of all, we're going to be focused on how can an entire community collaborate
9:35
with church, with the church leading and playing a role to solve these problems.
9:39
So the folks we're bringing in are people that have gone from community community
9:45
and solve these issues everywhere. Lynn Johnson is on our agenda. Lynn is
9:52
the former Assistant Secretary for the US Department of Health and Human Services Administrations Administration
9:58
for Children's Families. She was the highest ranking child welfare official in the nation
10:03
under the Trump administration. She brings a world of experience and during her tenure
10:07
she really tried to rally the faith community around this issue of foster care.
10:13
And she's not only going to share some of her insights of how other places
10:16
are doing this, but she's gonna be bringing a panel of former foster youth
10:20
who can talk about the experiences of being in there. We're also bringing Jason
10:24
Webber, who's the national director of Foster Care Initiatives at the Christian Alliance for
10:28
Organs. He's also the author of Until There's more Than Enough, Transforming Foster
10:33
Care Where You Live At, the book that's become kind of a handbook for
10:35
how the communities plan and work together and collaborate. So Jason's going to be
10:41
on the agenda and we're also bringing in doctor John Degarma, who's the founder
10:46
and director of the Foster Care Institute, a Willman speaker on foster care issues.
10:50
He's also written a couple of books, Face in Foster Care and the
10:54
Church and Foster Care. So we're bringing in these national leaders who are helping
10:58
solve these problems everywhere, but we're also bringing in folks from the states who
11:03
are addressing this issue. So we're gonna have a panel with church leaders who
11:07
are already already addressing issues and see some of the success they have. We're
11:11
going to hear from We're gonna hear from the false Scare on Budgeman's office about
11:16
how can churches help families actually advocate very effectively for the are that are in
11:20
the system. And we're also going to get a lot of opportunities for these
11:24
churches for child placing agencies, for people in the state, for others in
11:28
the community, just to network and share best practices and learn from one another.
11:33
My goal ultimately is that churches can begin and communities working together and collaboratively
11:39
so they don't need someone coming in and guiding and equipping and bringing them up.
11:43
They could begin to share amongst each other. Well, we wish you
11:48
the best of luck with it. Now, where can people learn more about
11:50
this? Because you give us a lot of information and I know people who
11:52
probably need to take a look at a schedule of events and how they can
11:56
get involved. Where can people learn more? Absolutely, you can go to
11:58
our website at c m v w V dot org. That c m v
12:05
w V dot org and you'll see a registration pop up right at the right
12:11
at the beginning of the website. There. People can register there and see
12:13
all the all the line up in the seekers, et cetera. And it
12:16
is all next next Wednesday? Is that right at River Ridge Church in Tays
12:20
Valley? Work? Yes, Wednesday May third, uh in Tay's Valley and
12:26
in Tay's Vallet River Ridge Church there Hurricane UH and UH program doors open at
12:31
eight o'clock. The program will kick off that by encourage people to register soon
12:35
because it's coming quickly and that is a very big facility there, so I'm
12:39
sure parking and seating will not be an issue. Hopefully you pack the place
12:43
out. Hey, Greg, I appreciate you being here. Best to luck
12:46
Okay, thanks a lot, Thank you so much, and so Greg Clatter,
12:50
the director of Foster Care Initiatives and UH and also with chest Nut Mountain
12:54
Village Ministry. And you know, anytime that you start talking about putting religion
13:00
gen so to speak, to solve problems, I get covered up with negative
13:03
texts and things of that nature. But here's the thing about it. You
13:07
gotta have people involved, and you gotta have people willing to do something.
13:09
And obviously with this foster care crisis, and there's enough blame finger pointing already,
13:15
got text people, you know, blaming certain you know, blaming the
13:16
Republican Party for it because you know, this was never a crisis before.
13:22
You know, it can't hurt. It absolutely positively can't hurt. And we
13:26
wish them the best with that program. Five Any Live is presented in part

that for the most part. I don't know. Maybe the test exter and
14:00
I are looking at it for different directions, but the overall message of that

17:48
Well, Hid, I am waiting for baby dogs. That's tomorrow. That's
17:52
tomorrow. You're waiting on baby dog. Hey. By the way, speaking
17:55
of animals, we're gonna do something totally different on the show tomorrow. I
17:59
haven't even told the listener this yet, Brad. I met a guy last
18:02
week who calls himself the Reptile Guy, and tomorrow he's doing a educational type
18:08
thing in Putnam County with reptiles tomorrow in the Palmar Store studio. Brad,
18:15
I got a python coming in. A python. So it's not just your
18:19
biceps. No, no, it's not. No, it's not those pythons.
18:25
I have an actual, real life, honest to goodness python and other
18:29
reptiles in the Palmar Store studio tomorrow. How cool is that? Man?
18:33
That is cool? Although you might want to, you know, just put
18:36
a place sign on the door python inside beware. Well, well, you
18:41
know Chris Lawrence, uh, you know, in his studio is right down
18:45
from from ours here, and you know that Chris as him as he sees
18:48
at the face, paint's gonna go on and he's gonna put some kind of
18:51
python urine behind his ear and he's gonna go in all all full effect hunter
18:55
mode. So I'll have to tell Lawrence it's coming up. All right,
18:56
you got a story you put you put up Monday on the website and on
19:00
social media two where Congressman Alex Mooney, who will square off against the governor
19:06
all for all intensive purposes in the Senate primary next next year, he referred,
19:11
And the governor's big announcement is tomorrow. Of course, Mooney referred to
19:15
the governor as a quote rhino, as a Republican in name only, So
19:19
let the fireworks begin. Brand Oh man, it hasn't even started. And
19:25
we do expect Governor Justice to be announcing tomorrow by PM at the Greenborough with
19:30
his dog that he's going to run for US Senate. That is not exactly
19:36
a certainty yet, but we've all been told to pay attention at five o'clock
19:40
tomorrow. So yes, Congressman Mooney is whether the governor's in or not.
19:47
Congressman Mooney is firing shots. And he called the governor a rhino, a
19:51
Republican name only, called him a liberal republican, a liberal republican, referred
19:56
to Justices History as a Democrat, and you know, I mean you can
20:03
you can see already, but that that's going to be the tone that primary
20:07
for West Virginia Republican voters and independence is truly going to have a contrast.
20:14
You're gonna have a choice. And you know, the specific issues that the
20:18
Congressman Mooney seems to be referring to is governor justices embrace of the federal infrastructure
20:26
bill, which Congressman Mooney calls, I forget what a disinfrastructure bill or a
20:33
non infrastructure bill or something. Um, the the approach to COVID, which
20:40
the governor has you know, taken pride in and uh, you know,
20:44
sort of staked his reputation on. He would he would call it a cautious
20:48
approach. But but I think that's going to come up to, you know,
20:51
we're we're we're the lockdowns too widespread? Should they have happened at all?
20:56
I think Congressman Mooney is prepared to raise those issues and then he's gonna
21:00
knock him around about the amendment to stuff, which was not a Congressional issue.
21:04
It was a state issue. But you know, the governor's view was
21:11
the amendment to which would have allowed which would have allowed via the Constitution the
21:18
legislature to change personal property tackgrates vote for individuals and for businesses. It would
21:25
have been a tax cut of a kind. Uh. Congressimoney, isna is
21:30
gonna you know, knock him around about that too, to say, you
21:32
know you were you went around the states opposing a tax cut, and I
21:37
don't think it's gonna have the subtleties that you and I are well aversed in.
21:41
But the governor preferred an income tax cut. I think it's just going
21:44
to be you were against amendment too. Yeah, I think that I think
21:47
you're right about that. So, Brad, I talked about this yesterday and
21:49
I was told by someone very close to the fray within the Republican Party that
21:53
there was that person's words as of yesterday morning. A lot has changed or
21:59
could change, you know, between now and then. Direct quote an eighty
22:03
five percent chance that former President Trump would be at the Greenbrier tomorrow now,
22:08
um nothing perhaps more than mere speculation. I have no idea whether he'll be
22:15
there in person, whether he'll be there on video or maybe not at all.
22:19
Congress from Mooney, Uh, in your piece that you did on Monday,
22:23
is hoping for an endorsement from the former president. You may agree or
22:29
disagree. I'll be honest with you. I really don't see that happening,
22:33
do you. Brad No, and Cumbersomoney sort of couched to ask couches one
22:41
ask, ask ask, Okay, I gotta go ahead, Red, go
22:45
ahead, Bred, don't get me fired. Go ahead. There's a lot
22:48
of that firing listeners, a lot of that firing stuff in the media going
22:51
on right now. So I'd like to I'd like to keep this job safe.
22:53
But go ahead, careful, be careful. There's a good guy everyone.
23:00
So Mooney got a Trump endorsement last spring when it was that combined district
23:10
race against his fellow Republican Deva became for Congress. He got a Trump endorsement
23:15
and used it to great effect. Now Trump goes way back with Justice.
23:19
In addition to being political figures. They have, you know, hospitality holdings,
23:26
and they've got a lot in common. Justice is very friendly with Trump
23:30
and has made that pretty clear. And and Don Don Junior has actually gone
23:33
gone hunting with the governor. I understand. I think they've gone python hunting.
23:37
Yes, well, well come here tomorrow and do that. But go
23:40
ahead, Yeah, they've they've taken their mongooses out and gone gone python hunting.
23:47
So Mooney is, Mooney hopes for a Trump endorsement. And I can
23:52
imagine the governor does too. But what he did say was he couched his
23:57
ask. But he you know, he really if he can't get an endorsement
24:04
Mooney, he hopes that the president, the former president, will just stay
24:08
out of it. About I mean, and I think and I mentioned this,
24:12
actually, Brad, I think that's about the best the Mooney can hope
24:15
for at this point. Yeah, and you know that may be a smart
24:18
political play. Mooney is. Justice is tough, but it's a Republican primary.
24:26
It could be the most enthusiastic Republican voters who come out. Mooney has
24:33
won that congressional seat five times. He is not an easy owl. No,
24:37
not at all. And if you're Trump, I mean, why politically,
24:42
why why weighed in and endorse one or the other? If you at
24:47
all think if your calculation might be, well, you know, I might
24:51
not pick the right horse. There may be somebody else coming out of this.
24:55
Why not politically just wait and see the president doesn't ask me for his
25:00
advice. And uh, I wouldn't expect for him to listen to me.
25:03
Well, and here's the thing, Brad, anywhere but West Virginia, a
25:08
Trump endorsement is not necessarily a good thing. I mean, look what happened
25:11
last year, you know, But in West Virginia, you know, we're
25:15
a little bit different. In West Virginia, that Trump endorsement still means that.
25:18
It didn't mean a heck of a lot last year. It actually was
25:19
the death knell for some, for some in other states, but in West
25:23
Virginia and still firmly behind Donald Trump, the former president. And that's what
25:29
we saw in the ad campaigns with a lot of candidates last time around,
25:33
was it was a battle who could be the trumpiest? You know. No,
25:37
no, he loves me more. No, he loves me more.
25:40
No, he loves me more, you know. And and I think that's
25:42
that's that that may be, you know, kind of where we are speaking
25:45
of advertising, Brad Uh in your story from Monday, you alluded to a
25:49
pole that was done by the firm National Public Affairs, which tends to lend
25:55
lean a little Trump in that poll, Uh that had Justice a fifty five
26:00
percent and Mooney with twenty four percent, and twenty one percent undecided. I
26:03
bring up the term advertising because one of the things that's going to be brought
26:08
out, one of the many things, especially when you have the packs that
26:12
come in here and they send their money in and so on and so forth,
26:15
is going to be the financial issues of the governor. And in West
26:19
Virginia, you know, Justice is what third or fourth most popular governor in
26:22
the entire nation. It doesn't seem to matter here. West Virginians know the
26:27
issues of Jim Justice and they don't care. They still love the guy,
26:30
They still love baby dog, the whole thing. When this goes national,
26:34
and if Jim Justice does indeed run for Senate, which we all think he's
26:37
going to, that is going to be brought out times a thousand by not
26:45
not just Mooney, not just potentially Senator Mansion if he's the opponent, if
26:48
he decides to run, but by these packs that are going to come in.
26:52
They are not going to let this stuff just go by the wayside like
26:56
West Virginians has done. Brad your take, I think particularly the national media
27:00
might put that under scrutiny because the Senate is so evenly divided and Mansion has
27:07
been you know, the lynchpin the deciding vote on so many but this race
27:12
potentially to take on Mansion, maybe even to beat him, is going to
27:15
get a lot of attention nationally, and the justice financial stories are not completely
27:22
new to the national media, but I think will be in the spotlight more
27:29
than it has been. Um Mooney has significant backing already from the right wing
27:36
Club for Growth. They're talking about putting up ten million dollars or so,
27:40
so he can you know, he's got the money for messages. We'll take
27:42
it, by the way, well, we'll take it here w VRC media,
27:45
we'll take Yeah. If our advertising staff is listening, have fun,
27:48
guys. Yeah, I mean you can hear those ads already. They're already
27:53
running here. Yeah, and other places as well. But go ahead.
27:56
Mooney's message so far has not been a criticism of the governor's personal finances,
28:03
though it has been that he's got a liberal record. He was a Democrat.
28:07
Uh and maybe that's a shrewder political bet in a in a Republican primary.
28:12
It is. I hadn't thought about it that way till you brought it
28:15
up, But yeah, I would agree with that because because West Virginia,
28:18
again we've proven in this state. We don't care about the governor's problem.
28:22
Mean, he was elected to begin with with a When I say rap sheet,
28:26
I don't mean that literally, but I mean he but he was elected
28:29
to begin with with all of these people saying they've had all these issues with
28:32
the governor in his business issues over the years, and West Virginia didn't care.
28:37
But you start throwing around that term rhino and you start linking him to
28:41
to to Biden and infrastructure bills and all that that you may and be honest,
28:45
something Brad from the pr guy and me comes out and says, yeah,
28:48
that's that that's probably a better approach. But go ahead. Yeah,
28:52
I think that's where the contrast is. And it's you know where we are
28:59
in political moment. It's it's probably about a minute until Jim Justice starts being
29:03
called woke. But you know, the governor does have he's got financial issues
29:10
they have They've come up again. Um, his his longtime banker, Carter
29:17
Bank of Virginia was asking for three hundred million dollars in guaranteed returns on loans.
29:25
He was just Justice Holdings was just in the state Supreme Court yesterday over
29:30
a six million dollars dispute with homeowners at Glade Springs, So they are there
29:38
remains a steady flow of financial issues with justice, but do they are they
29:45
counteracted by the ethics concerns about Mooney claiming stops at Chick fil A, as
29:52
as campaign stops being reimbursed for vacation by the very company that he uses for
30:00
much of his campaign advertising spending. So Mooney's got issues too, And as
30:07
a as an outside observer, do I think are those going to cancel out
30:11
in the public mind? And then you know, Mansion on the other end
30:15
gets knocked around about his gobpile, his own business holdings. There's a lot
30:22
of national coverage of those issues. And again in the public's mind, when
30:29
you're being besieged by the kinds of ads that you described, ads that were
30:33
welcome. By the way, Yeah, eleven eleven Virginia Streets, Charleston,
30:37
if you'd like to schedule an appointment, but go ahead, check at the
30:38
front desk, right right, Dave in the memo line, yes please.
30:44
But in the public's mind, I mean, these things kind of even out
30:47
are You're like, oh my gosh, you know, all of them have
30:48
got their issues, and I wonder if that's where it might go. Well,
30:53
um, we'll close with this, Brad and you we talked a little
30:56
bit about to Senator Mansion. We still don't know what he's going to do.
31:00
And he was on one of the talk shows over the weekend. I
31:03
didn't actually see that he was on. He was on Hannity. That's right.
31:06
I forgot he was on Hannity the other night. And and you know
31:11
a lot of people made I read some national fodder about people. You know,
31:15
the Democratic Party is not exactly and I'm talking about on the national level,
31:18
not exactly enamored with Joe Mansion. At this point. There's talk that
31:21
maybe he may make a run for president, kind of a no labels kind
31:25
of a thing. I will say this that if Jim Justice comes out of
31:30
the primary as the victor over Alex Mooney, and if that is indeed what
31:33
happens, I do think that's what happens. I think Justice wins that and
31:37
he goes up against Mansion. Again. It's all about the money. Go
31:41
back to the money. You think there might be a little money spent here
31:44
in West Virginia on that race, just a little Oh my gosh, I
31:48
mean you know Justice is already being backed by Miss McConnell, the Senate minority
31:53
leader, and the political action committee surrounding McConnell, So there's there's money there,
32:01
and Mansion already has political action committees spending on his bath already, whether
32:07
he's running or not. He says he's going to announce in December what he's
32:10
doing, but that has already begun coming to the defensive Mansion. So yeah,
32:16
it's gonna be it's gonna be major potentially. Yeah, Brad, it's
32:22
always a pleasure. We will talk soon. We'll be reading your stuff on
32:24
the websites and also on all the social media's thanks a lot, and we're
32:28
just happy to have jobs at this point, right, I mean, with
32:30
what's going on in the media right now, Brad and I are still here,
32:32
Hoppy's still here. Well, hopefully we're not going anywhere for while.
32:36
Hopefully I hope we did not cross the line. I just to annunciate,

35:55
How are you all doing great? Glad we got our schedule, announced it
36:00
out yesterday. We're ready to rock and roll this summer. And I know
36:01
you have an appointment to get to a ten o'clock so I'm not going to
36:05
keep you on here very long, but I have to. I gotta throw
36:07
this out there though, because you guys always take a lot of crap when
36:09
the weather is bad. But I gotta give you credit. It's been a
36:12
little cool as of late, but overall not a bad spring weatherwise. Good
36:16
job do you and Spencer and the team there. Well, thank you very
36:20
much. I don't complain tomorrow afternoon when the rain moves in. All right,
36:24
you're not responsible. We'll blame that on Spencer, Okay, all right,
36:28
all right, So big announcement yesterday. It's slack plaza and you just
36:30
keep adding to the stuff going on with Regatta. We already to do about
36:34
the musical stuff. You've added everything else. Tell us just some of it
36:37
was announced yesterday, Brian. Well, we you know we're wanting to you
36:42
know, fine tune things make the schedule more conducive to everybody being able to
36:46
attend almost every event. So that's kind of what we did, especially you
36:50
know, Saturday is a really big day for events happening Sunday as well,
36:54
So what we did was we wanted to place events and separate them and so
37:00
that friends, at the ten am you can make it to the Weener dog
37:04
Race. A Weiner dog race is gonna last nut an hour and a half,
37:07
almost two hours down at Magic Island. Then we have the fire truck
37:10
parade at noon, and then you go to uh, you know, you
37:14
go on to the one thirty funeral Parade. You know that goes on all
37:19
the way up until the uh you know, the Slight Plaza, Slamburry,
37:23
the championship wrestling and who didn't got a belt that we're gonna have, you
37:27
know, get you wrestled to the to the win essentially to become the champions.
37:30
So what we've done is we've space all these events out throughout Saturday and
37:35
Sunday of course the rest of the time as well, so that you can
37:37
attend the different events and easily get there without having a you know, rush
37:44
from here and there because we we found that out last year. Oh yep,
37:46
we did this that was a little too closed, that's a little too
37:50
tight. So that that's what we're doing this year. Too much stuff in
37:52
a small amount of time hopefully. But you know, again, it's first
37:54
time that you've done a regatta in several years, and certainly the folks that
37:58
were on the regatta committee I would think for the most part, weren't part
38:00
of the last one. So it's a work in progress. I mean,
38:04
that's the thing about this. And did it go everything go one hundred percent
38:07
perfectly last year? No? But what we'll go one perfectly this year?
38:10
No, because that's that's the nature of a live event. But you listen
38:15
to the people and you're adding and maybe doing away some things that weren't as
38:17
popular and adding more things than popular. What are some of the new things
38:21
this year? I know there was wrestling last year, but not like it's
38:23
going to be this year. With the championship belt going to the winner of
38:27
the regatta championship, you got that, But what are some of the other
38:30
new things. Well, we're you know, we're bringing back the rubber duck
38:34
race in with the regatta where it used to be, where everybody wanted it
38:37
to be. And we're happy to bring Day in into the fold with United
38:43
Way, you know, doing the fundraising there. You know, we also
38:46
go back down to the health plans, Magic Island and Kids Zone and what
38:51
we got think we've got a big We've got a big foam at parties that's
38:54
going to happen down there for the kids. And when I say poem,
38:57
I mean we're covering Canal Bull of our with foam and foam machines. We're
39:01
gonna do that. That's going to be fun. You you've just got to
39:06
you know, you've got to be inventive about you know, where your budget
39:08
is, how you're gonna be able to do things. We're gonna have a
39:10
BMX exhibition on Sunday down at the skate park. But you know, after
39:16
you do the rebroducts, you've also got then the certain wild boat races.
39:21
You know, certain Wilver got our boat races. So you've got those on
39:24
Friday and excuse me, you've got that on Sunday. But we also have
39:29
the Wheelwah Beer Festive. I don't know if you remember that last year Day
39:31
that was on third that we did on Thursday last year. Of course,
39:34
of the event starts this year on Friday, so we're actually moving that over
39:37
to Capitol Street because at the end of Capitol Street, the closest to the
39:42
river, we've got a massive JumboTron, so you can go over there,
39:45
relax and enjoy that, and you know, you can be there for the
39:51
Wheelwah Beer Festival. We've got craft craft brew that is going to be I
39:55
think I see is in twelve thirty almost forty different craft brew beers that you'll
40:00
be able to sample. So you know, we've shifted some things around,
40:05
we've moved some things, we've fine tunes of things, and it's going to
40:07
be great. And plus we've moved the stage back by more than forty feet
40:13
to accommodate more people in that area so they can have a good time get
40:16
up close. Yeah. Absolutely. We're talking to Brian Hughes from storm Track
40:20
at thirteen and also on the regatta committee, and you know, Brian,
40:24
last year it was such a huge success. It was bigger, I think,
40:28
and better than anybody thought it was going to be. And we hope
40:31
that and I know that it's going to be a bigger and better this year
40:35
as well. And I know you threw out a lot of information you did
40:37
yesterday with the mayor. It's like plause and everything. As we get closer,
40:40
we're gonna have you on, you know a lot. We had the
40:43
mayor on other folks from the city on to talk about it. But in
40:45
the meantime, I do want to kind of direct people over to our website.
40:47
Kat Skelton did a great story. It's on wv Metro News dot com
40:51
and it's also available on all your guy's pages and social media and so on
40:54
and so forth. So great stuff yesterday, Brian, and I know you
40:59
gotta go, So we we'll talk soon and we'll be updating everybody with what's
41:01
going on. Thanks a lot, man. Hey, we're doing our best.
41:05
We're gonna streamlined this thing. And by the way, just remind people,
41:07
just real quick listen who KRT is going to provide bus routes so you
41:13
can park it over there at you know, over there at Patrick's Suet Plaza
41:15
and then get bused in great idea, or you can do it over there
41:20
at Lady Field and we'll bust you in. Kart is doing a great,
41:22
great thing being able to and also you can be picked up along the way
41:25
on the bus route, so really get people in and out real easy.
41:29
All right, that's the plan. All right, Brian, we'll talk soon,
41:30
man. Thanks a lot. Thank you, Brian Hughes again from a
41:34
WWK stormtrack of thirteen weather and also one of the big members of the regatta
41:38
committee as well. And you know, I was just perusing social media last
41:44
night and I saw someone on and I realize not everybody likes the same things.
41:51
Okay, I get that one percent, But I did see somebody in
41:53
one of the local news media social media saying who cares about regatta? Well,
41:59
and that is certainly that person's right to come or to stay away or
42:01
whatever that they want to do. But around two hundred and ten thousand people
42:06
did care last year, to the tune of about three point one million dollars
42:13
that was brought into the city last year. That is nothing. Just needs
42:16
that. It was huge, It really was. It was a smashing success.
42:22
The dates again are June thirtieth through July fourth, and I know a
42:25
lot of people are saying it should be Labor Day weekend. It should be
42:28
Labor Day weekend, and we talked about that last year, and again I'm
42:31
gonna have Brian and the mayor and a lots of these folks on from the
42:35
regard of plenty of times between now and regarded time in June thirtieth. But
42:38
the reason it's not being held around Labor Day weekend, there are actually several
42:42
reasons. Number one, the availability of the stern wheelers. That's a big
42:45
part of it. And plus you have to remember, unlike when you and
42:50
I were in school, school starts in most areas like the middle of August,
42:54
and so having the kids there is a big part of it, and
43:00
you know things, there's activities going on on what would be school nights,
43:07
you know, So so keep that in mind. Again, you're not going
43:08
to please everybody, but I think Brian and folks to a fantastic job with
43:12
that. And we'll be talking to Brian and others involved with the regatta as
43:15
we get a little bit closer. Got some text to get two plus some

Tech says this was actually a text from yesterday that I thought was really a
46:25
good point, and I saved it today. Text says Mooney wins because he
46:30
chooses his voters, not the other way. That's it took me a minute.
46:35
That came at the end of the show yesterday and I stared at it
46:38
at the screen for like about, you know, twenty seconds afterwards, I
46:42
thought, ah, I get it. Mooney wins because he chooses his voters
46:47
and not the other way. According to a texture, Texas low workforce participation,
46:54
high levels of foster kids sounds like the West Virginia is ready for child
46:59
labor, says the text. I don't know about that. This opinion strike
47:02
with Coke is happening, but I'm told they have not hit the picket lines,
47:06
but it could becoming. Teams are local one seventy five striking against Coca
47:09
Cola consolidated. The story by Jared Lewis WV metronews dot com. Teamsters Local
47:15
one seventy five president Ken Hall told Jared that the decision was made late last
47:19
night to keep working out of respect for Coach's customers. So now the workers
47:24
are at basically going without a contract. So I don't know if you'll actually
47:28
see picket lines when you go to your local Sheets, and I say Sheets,
47:32
because this dispute follow is following a deal with Sheets, where as best
47:37
I understand it, where they would have coke delivered directly to their warehouses and
47:44
then having their employees that's Sheets employees to then deliver the product, cutting off
47:49
the coke drivers. That seems to be one of the major sticking points in
47:51
the negotiations. We're watching it closely, and of course you can follow the
47:53
story throughout the day. Jared Lewis, the story posted at wv metronews dot
47:58
com didn't as mentioned this that's kind of at the close of the show yesterday,
48:01
but President Biden made it official via video yesterday morning. I mean,
48:07
come on, you didn't actually think he was going to do anything live,
48:10
did you. The President is running for reelection, and my thoughts and my
48:17
thoughts alone, this is not going to be pretty Now, as many people
48:22
have pointed out, the president got a gift, as bad as that sounds
48:27
to say that he got a gift with COVID in twenty twenty because he didn't
48:31
actually have to campaign and to actually go out and meet people and stuff.
48:38
Well, he's gonna have to do that now. And frankly, I fear,
48:47
just because I'm a somewhat decent human being, I fear it's going to
48:52
be embarrassing for the president, because I mean, there is no way and
48:59
I'm going to say this as nicely as I can, and please don't hit
49:02
me with the what about is on? What about Trump? What about Reagan?
49:05
In the second time, I'm not talking about any of those folks talking
49:07
about President Joseph Biden at this point, by his own admission, he called
49:15
himself a gaff machine. That's what he called himself. And when you put
49:22
President Joe Biden out there in a traditional campaign, which is what it's going
49:29
to take, unless heaven forbid, we have another another pandemic, I don't
49:37
know what that's going to look like because he's going to have to actually face
49:43
people, He's going to actually have to do the things that presidential candidates do
49:47
going to coffee shops and shaking hands and meeting people that aren't necessarily friendly to
49:53
you or maybe that have questions you're not ready for when you do these style
50:00
in little towns in West Virginia or Vermont or wherever, whatever the case may
50:05
be. And I don't know that. I don't know what he's up to
50:08
him And you got I was listening to Hoppy as I was driving yesterday and
50:13
somebody accused Hoppy of agism. Well, I don't know if it's agism or
50:15
it's realism. I mean, that's the fact. There's no in my opinion,
50:21
there is no way that anybody can listen to a speech when he gives
50:27
them that President Biden, when I'm saying this with all due respect, does
50:31
and think that the guy is all here. I really don't think that.
50:38
And it's going to be exposed. And regardless, I don't care what your
50:43
political ideology is. I know a heck of a lot of Democrats right now
50:45
that are not happy that Joe Biden is going to be the nominal. Matter
50:50
of fact, there's all these polls up there. You can look him up
50:52
for yourself. The majority of people, the majority of people who voted for
50:55
Joe Biden in twenty twenty. Don't want him to run again, and obviously
51:01
that's mainly from his own party. Read the room, man. And on
51:09
the Republican side, there are a lot, and I'll close with this,
51:13
there are a lot of Republicans who aren't exactly enamored with the fact that Donald
51:15
Trump is going to run. You're listening to one right now. As a
51:19
matter of fact, a nation of three hundred and fifty million, billion million,
51:22
I'm sorry, million people and Biden Trump are the best we can do.
