• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I used to come in every day, you did.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I remember I listened every day.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: You know when I When I did that, Rod said
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: to me, he said, let me get this straight. We
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: do everything we can to protect you from extraneous phone calls,
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: and now you're going to subject yourself to them wide open, right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: And I never I never had any problem, and I
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: used to I take my phone calls.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Well, here's the problem. I have seen Danny a lot.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: And it doesn't matter whether it's you know you or
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: anybody else. There's a lot of people that will get
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: that that, you know, keyboard commandos that will go online
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: and say things. It doesn't matter who the politician is.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: It could be any political person. But when they get
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: an opportunity to actually be constructive, you know, I offer
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: some constructive criticism. A lot of times they don't. And
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: that's what I have found again with with a lot
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: of political people. And it's not their fault. I'm just
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: saying that people would rather go on and put something
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: on Twitter, Facebook or whatever, as opposed to saying, okay,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: I've got this issue, and it's usually the most venomous
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: type things. It's not, Hey, we've got a pothole over
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: on so and so can you check on it. That's
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: that that happens. But a lot of times it's people
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: who want to, you know, really question their their political
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: but they they're questioning them as a person. They don't
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: like them personally, but they'd rather post it as opposed
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: to Colin and saying, okay, here's the problem. So that
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: happens a lot again.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Because they don't have a problem. They don't have a problem.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: They don't like the person, right, they didn't like they
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: don't like her, they didn't like me, something like.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: That, speaking of not liking you. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: There was and I don't have it with me right now,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: but there was uh an article uh in the paper
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: colin column on set yeah, column on the iPad pageons
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: on Saturday, and it had to do with harm reduction.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: And that's one of the things you said that you're
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: going to talk about it, you know, in your book,
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: which we'll get to a little bit later on, but
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: in your time as mayor, that was one of the
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: if you had to, I had to narrow it down
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: to like three or four big stories. That was it
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: was at least in the top five. Yeah, and uh,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: and your your your take on because you were very
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: opinionated about about.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Well, we we proved it was a fraud. It was
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: supposed to have. The President's Council got up. He was
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: for it, and of course he didn't live where the
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: needles would arrive. The people that were for it didn't
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: live where the needles were turned up. They didn't turn
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: up in their driveways. But you held up an application,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: had to fill up. But we proved that was a fraud.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: We didn't undercover a thing, no application, no needles to return.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: There's forty needles, and we shut it down.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: See, I said, I refer to we were talking off
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: air and I asked you if you'd read the column
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: from Joe Solomon, and I said, I called it needle
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: the needle exchange, And you quickly jumped in and said
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: it was not an exchange.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: There's a mill. It's a needle mill. It was.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: There is a needle exchange. It's down at Health Right.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: And health Right treat these people as patients and if
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: you come in, you're tested.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: First thing.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: You fill out all kinds of forms because they're going
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: to find out if they can get any money, Medicaid
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: or any kind of money to help finance what they're
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: trying to do, which is pretty smart. And the second
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: thing is is that they're going to treat you as
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: a patient. And a third of the people that use
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: their facility go into treatment where there's no record of
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: anybody that went down to the needle mill down at
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Canel Charleston Health Department.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: None of them.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Well, number one, we're tested before they went in there.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: They don't know if they stopped any HIV or FC
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: or not because they didn't test them before they went
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: in there.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: They just gave him.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Needles where it's it's the opposite down at health.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Right, there would be those and play devil's advocate here.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I have made my opinions on this very well known. Uh. Anybody.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Sometimes we'll have somebody that'll text the show and they
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: also think I'm too liberal on things. You don't want
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: my opinion on things like this, if you think I'm
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: too liberal on anything.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: But there are people that would say, well, we have
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: to save lives and uh, and it does and if
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: we can save a life, we'll save a life. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: to that you would, you know, no questions whatever you
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: would say, what.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Give them the dope.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Just give it to them, Give them the dope.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just give them. It makes more sense. It takes
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: the criminal element out of it, and you could put
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: sanctions against them, you'd take away the driver's license.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: I mean that this is something. This had to be
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: changed in code. You can't just be I understand that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: I mean, and that's not going to happen in West Virginia.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: If you're going to do a needle exchange, you do.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: It's the way they're doing health right, not the way
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: they were doing it down here any given Wednesday, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: they might give out twelve thousand needles. They didn't test
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: one person before it went in. We documented all this
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: and it's in the book.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: It's in the book.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, it'll be in the book.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: When we had you on, you know in the last
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks, you said that was going to take
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: up a lot of the book.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Was there, Well, it's taking up too much of the book.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Okay, it's it's it's it's it took up too much
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: of the book. You had one person who's all for it,
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: and then you had jb Acres, who who shoots it,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: shoots it all down because he did. He did FOI
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: s he did everything. He documented the thing was a fraud,
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: and it was a brummage and the doctor, and it
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: was just one big mistake.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Was there any regrets from you as far as mayor
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: for the way you handle the whole thing?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: Because I voted for it to begin with. I thought
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: they were going to give away one hundred meters a week.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: I didn't know they were going to give away thousands.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: But the people that wanted it first thing that it
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: was personal. They were against me and the people that
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: wanted it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: It didn't reach their driveways.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: And they just wanted to beat me and and they
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: like brummage the doctor. And but we proved the thing
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: was a fraud.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: So you actually did undercover. I mean not you, but
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: you said under and.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't know they were going to do it, right, Yeah,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Chief Cooper.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Do you talk about that in the book a little
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: bit about the undercover work.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I don't remember, Okay, I don't know it to read
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the book.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: But Dave Ali showing five eighty Live is brought to
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: you part by Pinnacle Consultants. Pour Indoor air quality can
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: cause a variety of health issues. Allergies, respiratory probably is more.

  Speaker 5: Pinnacle offer specialized indoor air quality services for residential and
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: commercial and industrial type settings. Check out Pinnacle Corp dot net.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Because what you don't know can't hurt you.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: They wanted to take the abortion building down there on
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: the west side, you know that that building, and some
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: people came in here and wanted to turn that into
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: a needle mill. They wanted to do a needle exchange
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: so called exchange right there, and the council voted it down,
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Thank goodness.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: I just and I am not somebody will point out
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: and say, well, you know where is your doctorate from?
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: And I don't have one, or anything like that. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: am just not of the thought process, Danny, that continuing
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: that sort of behavior and aiding that sort of behavior
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: is going to help anything. Now you can come up
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: with studies that will say it helps. You can come
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: out with studies that say it doesn't help it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Do it the way, if you do it the way
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: they do it down at health right, it helps. And
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: they if they take thirty nagels, they have to bring
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: thirty back and a third of them go into treatment,
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: a third right where there's no documented evidence of anybody
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: at this mill down at Canal Charleston Health Department went
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: into treatment or we're tested before they went in. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: that's a big quantifier because you're not tested before you
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: go in. How do you know if you're preventing anything.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: How do you know if you're.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Preventing at a mindset I think from a lot of
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: the people that are for these things across the country,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: a lot of the mindset Danny is as well, they're
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: going to do it anyway, so do drugs and we
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: need to make it safer. That's the mindset a lot.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Well, they can go down to they can go down
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: to health right, but there's other ways to do heroin.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: I'm even smoke caroin ners. But and you can buy needles.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: You can buy them in the store. Yeah, So I
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: don't think it. I don't know the way that one
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: was operated. And thank goodness, Counsel voted down under mayor
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: good one they voted.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: So, so what's the latest on the book? What are
• 11:58

• 12:41
  Speaker 6: pictures are in color. It's it's it's done the right way.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: It's not like a church cookbook or something. You're just
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: the right way it's going to be.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: And if we had to stop and it was your fault,
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: we stopped.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: My fault.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: You said to me, are you going to put the
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: recipes in all in the book? And I said, we'll
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: do that in the next book. And I got home
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: and called Charlie. I said, Charlie, let's do a second book.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: But we got to stop this or we're never going
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: to stop it. Right, Yeah, So we did.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, speaking of the restaurant, I can tell you a
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: quick story before we go to break. Semi funny story here.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Apparently not everyone got the message that you had closed
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: the restaurant. Uh last week one ye, Tuesday, Wednesday, something
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: like that. Last week I get a text Maaron Parker
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: from her news team up here, and uh, he said
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: that some people called the newsroom because they were trying
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: to call and there was no answer down there, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: they wanted to know if the phone was out. So,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: you know, not everybody got the message, you know, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: they were they were very disappointed. I had to tell Aaron, no.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: It was a painful experience, five thousand dollars plumbing problem,
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: and you got to you gotta make a decision here, right,
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: You can't you're going to keep chasing the past or
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: so I just packed it in.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: It's unfortunate, I mean, it really is. But I understand. Yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: I completely understand. All right, I got I got a
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: couple of questions for you via the text line here.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: One says, let me read the question and we'll take
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: the break. A question for Danny. Several whistleblowers have come
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: out and said the Chicago police are being ordered not
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: to not assist ice agents even if they're being physically attacked.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: To tell me, how is this not obstruction of justice?
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: You can't tell local and state agencies to not assist
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: the FBI, so why is this acceptable and encourage?
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: I actually think you can. I think it's wrong. I
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: don't think it's obstruction. I think it's mismanagement. And ICE
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: are police officers. That's what these ICE agents are police officers,
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: and it's all So I agree it's wrong.

  Speaker 5: She'll be on Metro News midday to day to talk

  Speaker 5: about it.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: But I don't know why any of them are getting paid.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: If they can't, if they can't fund the government, what
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: are they there for?
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: And they're getting paid and it's wrong, And.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think this thing is gonna it's
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: gonna be settled anytime soon.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: Do you I think President Trump's going to use it
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: to to punish people, to you know, eviscerate programs on
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: the lane left and people on the left right. He's
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: an eviscerator, yeah, yeah. I mean he's not a conservative
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: or a populace. He's an eviscerator.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: No. I've said this from day one about Donald Trump.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Regardless of how you feel about him. He's not conservative,
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: I mean now at all.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: He's not even a populist.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: He's a guy that his whole thing is to his too,
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: in the words of David Brooks, eviscerating do away with
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: things that do away with things on the left or
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: institution to the left. This whole fight is about the
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Affordable Care Act. There's not much of it left right,
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: and this would get rid of what's left of it,
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: and it would hurt to state. It would hurt because
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: it'll close hospitals. Anybody that can get to a hospital
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: can get healthcare. You might you're lying in the in
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: the mercery room, might get longer, but you you can
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: get healthcare.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: And then this came about during the Reagan administration. I
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: heard a discussion about that on one of the TV
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: talk shows yesterday. They were talking about that on I
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: think it was ABC. On this week they were talking
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: about that.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you you can get you can get health care.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: But you can't get healthcare if you can't get to
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: a hospital.
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: And the.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: In and the v A and Huntington, which is really
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: in Kentucky. The VA and Huntington is full of staff,
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: and the reason's full of staff. It's because the hospital
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: National And closed, and that closed before this happened. So
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: hospitals will close if they don't. If they don't shore
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: this thing up, this Medicaid things, if they don't preserve
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: the status, that's what's going to happen. It's going to
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: close hospitals.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Well, and we can't even get to a place and
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: this goes back to what you and I have talked
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: about on the air. We can't even get to a
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: place where we know what we're arguing about. No, I mean,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: because everybody is owning it. Everybody is well, it's because
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: of the Dems, it's because of the Republican and everybody's
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: digging just like everything else, Danny, we dig our heels
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: in and it's their fault and it's never, never our fault.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: The argument the Republicans make is all we're doing is
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: going back to where we were before the Affordable Care
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Act passed. We still have Medicaid money, we just won't
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: have as much. Some states didn't take advantage of it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: We did. Florida. Didn't you know they didn't take advantage
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: of it. We did.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: I want to ask you something. I brought this up
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: on the air last week and I'm gonna get your opinion.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: It has to do with President Trump. I have said
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: that regardless of how you feel about President Trump, and
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: you and I are on the same page on President Trump.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing. I mean that
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: people that are just obsessed with it. I was having
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: coffee with a former my former radio station manager this morning.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: We meet for coffee everybody, and he said something to
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: the effect of Trump could cure cancer, and people would
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: have an issue with it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: If he can, let me tell you something, He's gonna
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: look pretty good if he can. If he can formulate,
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: he and Derrick Kristener, another guy, can formulate a resolution
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: to this mess down in Gaza. I mean, President Trump's
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: gonna look pretty dagone good.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: But would you agree that there is a certain segment
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: of the popular that is absolutely obsessed with dona true?
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: My goodness.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, you you can disagree with his policies,
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: which I do on many many things. You can disagree
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: with him as an individual, which I do on many
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: many things. However, I see when he does good things,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: I'm willing to say it, and I want the president.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Oddly enough, strange thought, I want the president to do well.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: Whether I voted for him or not, I want because
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I want to. I want the country to do well.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: I want him to do well in Gaza. That's that's
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: what I'm kind of obffessed with right now. I'll go
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: up to the Why every morning at five and I
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: was walk in the circle, you know, I walk a
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: mile every morning up there. They have TVs all over
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: the place, and I'm looking. It's all about the Middle
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: East and about and about President Trump. And I'm just
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: told he's successful. What a big deal that would be.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Indeed, Texas Democrats are demanding two hundred billion dollars for
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: health care for illegal aliens. Know, I can't afford insurance
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: of my own employer for myself, So no to my
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: hard earned tax dollars to pay for millions of people
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: who should not even be here. That shut down is
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: on the Democrats.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, you're not going to get an argument with me.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Tex says, are people realizing what Republican policies are doing.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: They don't want you to have affordable health care, they
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: don't want you to have a functioning an educational public
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: school system.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure I agree with that.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Before I let you go. I do want to ask
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: you a couple of things about it. Legislative interims are
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: going on, any any recollections from any interims back in
• 24:36

• 24:48
  Speaker 6: gonna that's what That's what the thing I'm gonna do.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: And you were able. It was more casual, you could.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: Everybody was chairman, you know. It was just a I
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: liked in Urum, so I thought they were good and
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: I was. Of course they were all here then they
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: were all in Charleston.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, these are in Charleston now, but they do go
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: around the state for differently.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Well maybe they should, yeah, they probably should. But when
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: I was there, they were all in Charleston, and I
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: enjoyed inn Urham. I thought they were good.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: You mentioned it there a couple of days ago, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: we talked about it on the mid morning news. This morning,
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Marge Burke passed away. She served from nineteen seventy eight
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: through nineteen ninety six in the legislature and the State
• 25:36

  Speaker 6: of the Democrats. And if you if you were on
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: a committee, you could you could get something done as
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: a Republican. But the problem was a guy like Catcher
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: who just died. If he didn't like what you did,
• 27:01

  Speaker 5: I was shocked yesterday Andrew Mitchell said if Trump ends
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: the war between Israel and guys, that he deserves a
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Nobel Peace Prize. Says a texture tex says, I like
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: when Dave cheers on Trump, it's usually for something violent, unconstitutional,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: or when he's trolling. Dave says he's not a maga duck,
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: but he walks and talks uh okay violent. And I
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: spoke out against January sixth. I thought that everybody that
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: went inside the Capitol should have been arrested and jailed.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: Did not support that. Texas. The only reason America gives
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: a crap about the Middle East is because of the
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: oil market, all that turmoil and death to keep the
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: oil market stable. Do Christians and Jews who support this
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: really think they have a pleasant afterlife? Texas, Trump and
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: net and Yahoo bon Palestine to rubble. Any president could
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: have done that and would get the results that have happened,
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: But previous presidents weren't as psychotic as Trump. Charleston, Mary Amy,
• 31:37

  Speaker 5: league right now. But the defense is you and I
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: could probably you know, get one hundred yards gainst the scalp.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you, just real quick about the
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: passing of Marge Burke. She of course served as Danny
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: and I talked about from seventy eight through ninety six
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: and legislature of your thoughts.
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: Sure, Actually I knew Delegate Burke because she was girlfriends
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: with my grandmother, My grandmother theas Francis o'donald blat Neeck,
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: Irish Catholic from the North single of mom of three
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: and Marge had a lot in common in their time
• 32:31
  Speaker 11: in the House, and then my grandmother went on to
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: the Senate. But during their time in the House they
• 32:36
  Speaker 11: worked on family issues, women's issues, and you know, to
• 32:41
  Speaker 11: be standing in that chamber, Dave where you know, unfortunately,
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: still to this day, it's very rare to see women
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: walking the halls of the State House. They were too powerhouses,
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: very outspoken. But you know, as I was listening to,
• 33:00
  Speaker 11: you know, conversations about her over the weekend and just
• 33:03
  Speaker 11: a little bit ago, it is and allows me to
• 33:07
  Speaker 11: sit back and reflect of a time I almost remember,
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: like yesterday, I was a page. It could be a page.
• 33:14
  Speaker 11: They still have pages. And it was so fun to
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: be with my grandmother because we stayed in her hotel
• 33:19
  Speaker 11: room and got to order cheeseburgers to the room and
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: that was super like fun, and got to go to
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: the pool and swim at night. But where Democrats and
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: Republicans did then what people should expect us to do now,
• 33:35
  Speaker 11: which was have a healthy, respectful, professional debate, which just
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: doesn't seem to happen any longer with you know, all
• 33:46
  Speaker 11: sides of all parties. And they did it, and they
• 33:50
  Speaker 11: did it extremely well. You can be passionate about something,
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: can be thoughtful about something. You can have certainly your
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: own opinions, and some of those opinions are backed up
• 33:59
  Speaker 11: by act. We always hope.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 34:02
  Speaker 11: But it was a time and a place that I
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: watched my grandmother have hearty discussions on the floor and
• 34:08
  Speaker 11: in the hallways. And I remember one time my sister
• 34:11
  Speaker 11: a different different house member, actually she's in the Senate,
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: different Senate member, different party, and they were discussing and
• 34:18
  Speaker 11: and we walked away and my sister said, we called
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: her Mimi. And my sister said, my grandmother said, we're
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: gonna go back to the hotel, but we're gonna we're
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: gonna grab We're gonna have our dinner with Senator so
• 34:28
  Speaker 11: and so. Girls. My sister said, but Mimi, you don't
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: like him. And she said, oh no, honey, is one
• 34:34
  Speaker 11: of my best friends. We're like, what it was okay
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: to have those discussions and then go and break bread.
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: And it just sounds so trite, and so, you know,
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: I sound like a broken record when I say it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: It's just it's old. It's old, and you know, my
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: children and the future of folks who are in public servant.
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: What I what I fear, Dave more than anything, is
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: that it becomes such a sur in, such a show
• 35:02
  Speaker 11: that people are not going to want to run because
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: they don't want to put up with it.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: I have a different philosophy about that. It's that's that
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: won't bother me, you know. And people say, oh, did
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: you see this online?
• 35:15
  Speaker 12: No?
• 35:16
  Speaker 11: I don't. No, I don't. If you call my office
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: or you text me, or you email me and you
• 35:20
  Speaker 11: want to sit down and have a conversation or you
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: want to have a discussion about issues and be respectful
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: and kind, yes, But if you want to say I'm
• 35:28
  Speaker 11: stupid or fat or whatever online, I am not interested
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: in that whatsoever. It just kind of junks up. It
• 35:34
  Speaker 11: junks up your brain. But I think it is also
• 35:38
  Speaker 11: done by design. And the days of March Burke and
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: her wonderful way about her was just that, and I
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: hope we can all go back to that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: And the passing of Kittie Dooley too. You came on
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Metro News midday and talked about it kind of last
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: minute on Friday. But in case people didn't hear that.
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah, just such a loss. She was such a champion,
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: and you know, read the the stories that you guys
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: have posted and the testimonials of her friends and mentors
• 36:05
  Speaker 11: and colleagues. I hope people know what she did behind
• 36:10
  Speaker 11: doors as well, was to say to women, don't stand
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: in the back of the room, stand up here with us,
• 36:17
  Speaker 11: don't don't stop asking questions because that is a that's
• 36:22
  Speaker 11: a space that I feel like we're also getting into.
• 36:24
  Speaker 11: I don't want to I don't want to seem dumb,
• 36:25
  Speaker 11: because we should know because of these little things we
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: hold in our hands all day, I feel like I
• 36:29
  Speaker 11: should know everything. Well, Kitty didn't believe in that. She
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: believed in continuing to ask questions and getting the perspective
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: of everyone. She was a wonderful mentor to so many
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: of us, a good friend, but somebody who captured millions,
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: gave millions of dollars in funding to make sure that
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: our babies were taken care of and people had a
• 36:49
  Speaker 11: safe place to live at the end of the night. Yeah,
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: she was a great advocate for women and just an
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: outstanding legal mind. But she cared about people and that
• 36:58
  Speaker 11: was the most important thing.
• 36:59

• 37:33
  Speaker 5: for vacant, abandon dilapidated properties and trying to get them

  Speaker 5: to somewhat productivity or you know, to make them productive.

  Speaker 5: And there's going to be a presentation on the current
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: projects and programs, followed by opportunity for residents to speak
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: directly with the board. What can you tell us about
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: that meeting?
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: Sure, very quickly, I'll go backwards before I go forward.
• 37:55
  Speaker 11: Created the Land Reagency and two thousand and nineteen and
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: we have been builtilding this group for many, many years.
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: I say all the time, but it's always worth repeating.
• 38:06
  Speaker 11: I've torn down since being mayor because we had a
• 38:09
  Speaker 11: stockpile of homes that needed to be torn down. I
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: don't like to tear down houses, by the way, Dave.
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: I don't like to if we can rehabilitate them, getting
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: them into use with another family, that's what That is
• 38:22
  Speaker 11: my ultimate goal. And I'll talk about those three programs
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: that we started. But I have torn down since becoming
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: mayor over seven hundred properties plus. But you can't tear
• 38:33
  Speaker 11: an entire city down and build it up at the
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: same time if you're actually not building. I did a
• 38:38
  Speaker 11: speech over the weekend to talk about building and how
• 38:40
  Speaker 11: joyful it is, and it is. The Land Reuse Agency
• 38:44
  Speaker 11: has three programs we're going to talk about just in
• 38:47
  Speaker 11: a quick presentation, our home Ownership Property Renovation Fund, our
• 38:51
  Speaker 11: Rehabilitation of vacant houses, and our side lot program. Because
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: you know, many of the spaces that we are places
• 38:58
  Speaker 11: that we have torn down. It may not be big
• 39:00
  Speaker 11: enough to build another house, Dave, but by golly it
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: it sure is nice to have that extra parking pad,
• 39:07
  Speaker 11: especially on the East end and the West side. Where
• 39:09
  Speaker 11: you know, now we have two cars now just a
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: one car family, and we're not just parking on the street.
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: We like to bark, or we want a bigger yard,
• 39:15
  Speaker 11: we want to put a slicky slide in for the babies,
• 39:17
  Speaker 11: or want to have a nice guard and so that
• 39:19
  Speaker 11: has been a very popular program. So tonight we're not
• 39:22
  Speaker 11: only going to share what we have done to it
• 39:26
  Speaker 11: is tomorrow, I'm sorry, tomorrow night. Yeah, tonight's counseling to
• 39:28
  Speaker 11: get to that. Yeah, we will talk about that. But
• 39:31
  Speaker 11: tomorrow night, five thirty elmen edge, we're going to talk
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: a little bit about what we've done, but we also
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: want to hear from you. You know, the most valuable thing.
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: You want to You want to know what people really feel.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 39:41
  Speaker 11: It's something that we do and we do all the time.
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: We have so many community meetings because we should. We
• 39:47
  Speaker 11: have so many town halls because we should. But the
• 39:50
  Speaker 11: other thing I wanted to make mention, and I know
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: you know, I do this every single month. I try
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: to do it every single week. Hours and hours and
• 39:59
  Speaker 11: hours go door to door. Still I go door to
• 40:02
  Speaker 11: door and just say hi, I'm here, I'm with the government,
• 40:05
  Speaker 11: I'm here to help but but I give them a
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: flyer to say, here are all the numbers of every
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: agency in the City of Charleston, all of our divisions,
• 40:13
  Speaker 11: including mine. What do you got well? I went. I
• 40:17
  Speaker 11: was in Kanas City last week and several You know,
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: when people say, let me tell you what people are
• 40:24
  Speaker 11: talking about, I'll tell you what they're talking about. They're
• 40:26
  Speaker 11: talking about neighborhood issues. They care about the things that
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: are happening well, not only on their straight That lights out, amy,
• 40:32
  Speaker 11: get it fixed. Hey, that pothole, Hey, that crack sidewalk. Hey,
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: there are speeders Kanas City. There are lots and lots
• 40:39
  Speaker 11: of speeding calls that we received and certainly tackling that
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: issue as well. But it's it's not only on their block,
• 40:46
  Speaker 11: but it's inside their house. You know what, what what
• 40:50
  Speaker 11: is my neighborhood?
• 40:51
  Speaker 9: Like?
• 40:52
  Speaker 11: How about opportunities for my kids? Jobs, paychecks? So it
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: is you know, people are myopic, as they should be.
• 40:58
  Speaker 11: These are their lives. And we have also got in
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: a way from talking about things that really impact people.
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: And when you can listen and learn from the things
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: that they really really care about, that's when you can
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: make good progress.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: You mentioned counsel tonight. One of the items on the
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: agenda authorizing the transfer of the eight hundred thousand dollars
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: think it is from the Opioid Settlement Fund to the
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: Care Office.
• 41:23
  Speaker 11: Yeah, right so, and for good reason. We're doing that
• 41:27
  Speaker 11: to make sure that the care Team is funded. There
• 41:29
  Speaker 11: are fewer grant programs out there to help sustain but
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: fortunately we have some of moneys from the Opioid Settlement Fund,
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: some of those monies Dave by the way, and I
• 41:40
  Speaker 11: think I talked about it on this program. I know
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: Matthew Sutton, my chief of staff, did we have, with
• 41:45
  Speaker 11: council's approval, are working with community organizations to help their
• 41:50
  Speaker 11: funding to get out and do some recovery. It's everything
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: from prevention and recovery, prevention and recovery, and it is.
• 42:04
  Speaker 11: It's going extremely well. Lots of folks, more applications than
• 42:08
  Speaker 11: we have money in this first round. We're working with
• 42:10
  Speaker 11: the United Way on it, so it's really really beneficial.
• 42:13
  Speaker 11: But the care Team is the coordinated addiction response effort.
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: Remember I talked about walking houses when I ran for mayor.
• 42:19
  Speaker 11: I wanted to know what people actually wanted, not just
• 42:22
  Speaker 11: what people wanted them to believe and we can get
• 42:25
  Speaker 11: into that if you'd like. But it was the thing
• 42:29
  Speaker 11: that I heard my mother, sister's brother, she has addiction,
• 42:32
  Speaker 11: Please help us, and so I started the care program
• 42:35
  Speaker 11: and our main goal is to get people into recovery.
• 42:38
  Speaker 11: We have two thousand people since we started we've put
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: into recovery, and so we're very proud of that. But
• 42:43
  Speaker 11: let me also hit on the heels of saying the
• 42:45
  Speaker 11: Care Team also works with our police department. They also
• 42:48
  Speaker 11: work with our fire department. I want to get you
• 42:50
  Speaker 11: into recovery, but if you're here to take advantage of
• 42:53
  Speaker 11: our kindness, if you're here to commit crimes, you'll go
• 42:55
  Speaker 11: to jail. So it's you know, the care Team has
• 42:58
  Speaker 11: evolved over years day, but it's funding to make sure
• 43:02
  Speaker 11: that they can continue to do their good work. And
• 43:05
  Speaker 11: also we have what's called the Care one Team, which
• 43:08
  Speaker 11: is member of the Care Team, member the police department,
• 43:10
  Speaker 11: member the fire department, and they go out and they
• 43:13
  Speaker 11: take on calls that the police officers don't have to
• 43:17
  Speaker 11: go to. You talk about it all the time on
• 43:19
  Speaker 11: this show. Our police officers are not mental health experts.
• 43:22
  Speaker 11: They are experts in a lot of fields, and that's
• 43:25
  Speaker 11: not one of them. We're getting better with our cit training.
• 43:28
  Speaker 11: But they go out in the field and they respond
• 43:30
  Speaker 11: to the call, so a police team doesn't have to
• 43:34
  Speaker 11: go out that they have a three member excellent team.
• 43:37
  Speaker 11: If we do need police, they certainly are called the
• 43:41
  Speaker 11: fire department and our medics go with them. If it's
• 43:43
  Speaker 11: something that they can handle, they handle it there to
• 43:46
  Speaker 11: make sure that your ambulance that you need is there
• 43:50
  Speaker 11: for you and to intercept those calls. That's what municipal
• 43:53
  Speaker 11: government is doing right now. We're doing the heavy lifting
• 43:58
  Speaker 11: and the very very hard work of this opioid crisis
• 44:02
  Speaker 11: and quite frankly, this mental health crisis.

• 46:58
  Speaker 5: One thing, Mayor I thought it was interesting, is I
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: come into Charleston every morning about seven thirty. Now, keep
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: in mind, I'm coming from Tays Valley, so sometimes it's
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: eight thirty. I attempt for it to be seven thirty.
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: But it's a good time to come into town because people,
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: you know, in the courthouse and city Hall or whatever
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: are just starting to come in. One of the things
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: that was I posted some pictures on my social media beautiful,
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: beautiful sunrise this morning.
• 47:21
  Speaker 11: Yeah really coo.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: Well, when you come in to town on Virginia Street,
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: one of the things that I notice is all of
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: the construction of those big buildings downtown. I mean, I
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: just I like it because obviously, you know, you get
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: people investing here in downtown Charleston. I don't know, it
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: sounds corny. I just like you know, when you're pulling
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: into town at that time and you see the folks
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: out there working on the sunrise and everything. There's a
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: lot of stuff going on.
• 47:50
  Speaker 11: Sure, you know, and especially on that Virginia Street as
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: you comment off of the interstate exit there. It's funny,
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: this has been gosh you it's probably been or so.
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 48:01
  Speaker 11: My husband sent to me, I leave the house before
• 48:04
  Speaker 11: he does in the morning. But he came down and
• 48:06
  Speaker 11: he took a picture of just that stretch of Virginia
• 48:11
  Speaker 11: Street and had cranes plural in it, and he said,
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: I wanted to send you this picture because I know
• 48:16
  Speaker 11: how much you love cranes, and I do. I love
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: cranes because cranes in a city means development, it means progress. Now,
• 48:23
  Speaker 11: I will say, we do get calls every now and then,
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: why is this sidewalk shut down? All the lights are
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: out here? Well, when you're building, there's a lot of
• 48:32
  Speaker 11: construction that goes on, and there's a lot of stuff
• 48:34
  Speaker 11: that we have shut down to make sure that those
• 48:36
  Speaker 11: cranes get in and HVAC systems get put on on roofs.
• 48:39
  Speaker 11: But there is a lot of construction going on in
• 48:42
  Speaker 11: the city of Charleston, and we're super proud of that.
• 48:44
  Speaker 11: But let me also say that just a hop, skip
• 48:47
  Speaker 11: and a jump to the Municipal Auditorium and hopefully you
• 48:50
  Speaker 11: keep I sound like a broken record, but that is
• 48:53
  Speaker 11: a building that we are still investigating with our architects
• 48:57
  Speaker 11: and engineers. Do we and we save it? Can we
• 49:01
  Speaker 11: save any part of it? And then what does that
• 49:03
  Speaker 11: look like? And what is the investment that we should
• 49:06
  Speaker 11: be making in that facility. So that's still on the table.
• 49:09
  Speaker 11: And the huge, big elephant in the room is the mall.
• 49:12
  Speaker 11: And you know, I always like to say when people
• 49:14
  Speaker 11: say what are you going to do with the mall?
• 49:16
  Speaker 11: And I say, well, it's not mine. It's like me
• 49:18
  Speaker 11: saying what am I going to do with your business?
• 49:20
  Speaker 11: Where's your business in town? You don't want me coming
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: in and doing it. But you know, as we inch
• 49:25
  Speaker 11: closer to some announcements on some future progress, I am
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: so incredibly excited about the development and that part of
• 49:35
  Speaker 11: the city of Charleston. You can't have a thriving city
• 49:37
  Speaker 11: if you don't have a downtown city center. At Slack plaza.
• 49:40
  Speaker 11: We put three million in. We got fifteen million back
• 49:42
  Speaker 11: immediately in return. I play that investment game all day.
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: You know it is you talk about the mall, IM
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: mean thisbaudatorium. Those are things that I've been doing. I've
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: been doing this show for five years, mayor, and I
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: was tarking about it in May of twenty twenty. Of course,
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: that was during COVID when I started doing the show,
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: and people then we're talking.
• 49:59
  Speaker 11: About the Yeah, sure, well people have been talking about
• 50:02
  Speaker 11: them all for twenty years. Really. I remember when Danny
• 50:05
  Speaker 11: Jones left office, and I'm sure he remembers this. He
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: literally walked out of the office on that day and said, well,
• 50:11
  Speaker 11: that's the anvil around your neck. Good luck, And he
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: was right, by the way. But it's really hard when
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: you don't have control of a piece of property.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: It's a private business. And again I think people fail
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: to realize that. You know, they'll say, you know, why
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: don't you do something or whoever the mayor is. You
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: can't tell people as long as they're following, you know,
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: all the regulations. You cannot go in and tell people
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: how to run a private business. That's right, I mean,
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: and that's what it is.
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: But I think that you know, as commissioner president of
• 50:41
  Speaker 11: SELANGO and I continue our discussions about the Capital Sports
• 50:47
  Speaker 11: Complex also, it's going to continue on into that footprint
• 50:51
  Speaker 11: of them all. What can happen in that space and place.
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: And what we do know is this, since changing the
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: management at the coliseum and convention Center, and with all
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: of the national and international attention that we've received on
• 51:03
  Speaker 11: sporting events, we have a really grand opportunity to continue
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: to build in that area of the city, which is
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: quite frankly thriving right now.
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: Can you give us any hint to the doll as
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: far as what may happen, I didn't think so. I
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: just thought i'd ask you, well, I'll just say this.
• 51:18
  Speaker 11: I'll just say this. When people say we need them
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: all we need we need look at Barbersville. We do
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: have Barbersville. It's called South Ridge and by the way,
• 51:24
  Speaker 11: half of it is in the city of Charleston limits.
• 51:26
  Speaker 12: We do have that.
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: People like to shop that way. Will we have the
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: mall the way that the mall is no, and that's okay,
• 51:33
  Speaker 11: by the way, that's okay. If you look at the
• 51:36
  Speaker 11: city of Charleston, as we were building and growing things
• 51:40
  Speaker 11: things change, and that is okay. Markets decide though those decisions,
• 51:45
  Speaker 11: and so we're looking forward to having more development, especially
• 51:49
  Speaker 11: in downtown and housing housing.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: House housing, housing, housing, and housing and housing. But Dave
