1:45
to get to this morning. Charleston City Council. Last night everything was cracked
1:49
up to be, but there was a lot more that came out of city
1:52
council meeting, just a shouting match that went on. So I'm going to
1:57
talk about that with counselmen from Ward for Mary Moore is going to be here
2:00
a little bit later on to talk about that. Plus Ashley offered Glance from
2:04
the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce will be stopping by and this weekend the West
2:07
Virginia Auto Show at the Coliseum the Convention Center. We're going to spend some
2:09
time talking about that as well. Let me welcome into the show for the
2:13
second straight day, Charleston Mayor Amy Goodwin, Mayor good One, Good morning,
2:16
welcome back, Good morning to the good company with Ashley and Laine.
2:21
Great company. And you well you put me at the end. I like
2:23
that. We knew that it was going to be contentious last night at City
2:28
Council. One point you were forced to clear the council chambers my words now
2:31
because people don't know how to behave in public. At the end, council
2:37
opting to table the issue that was asking for a call from the City of
2:40
Charlestay request to cease fire in the Israeli Hamas War. Your thoughts, Yeah,
2:46
so, you know, as I mentioned yesterday, but Shirley Worthy of
2:51
repeating the majority of Council at the end of December sent a letter to Senator
2:55
Capitove, Senator Mansion and congress Woman Miller are representatives to say we've support our
3:01
Muslim community was part of Jewish community, and please, please please work to
3:07
find a peaceful solution to this horrific tragedy that's going on. And because council
3:15
felt the majority of council and I felt that that was the best way in
3:19
which we could show our support. Uh, there were a few handful of
3:22
council members that said no, they wanted a resolution. Uh, they wanted
3:28
more direct even though that's not really the process in which we work. And
3:31
so yes, we had and have had since the end December, pac chambers
3:36
of folks who were there uh to express their feelings and their thoughts and you
3:40
know, emails and calls and text, which, by the way, is
3:43
part of our job is to listen to our constituents. But what isn't something
3:49
that we're not going to do in city council is you know, by the
3:53
way, David, there were six other items on City Council. A lot
3:55
of hard work goes into every the first and third Monday of every month.
4:00
Sometimes the meetings are only an hour, sometimes they're ninety minutes, sometimes they're
4:02
thirty five minutes. But I'll promise you this, every single thing on that
4:05
agenda takes a lot of time. Because the work that we are to do
4:10
for the citizens in the City of Charlestown, we're all on that agenda last
4:13
night, growing the East End, creating jobs, working to train our firefighters,
4:20
taking care of our roadways. By the way, those were also on
4:24
the agenda last night, and we're not talking about that today. Towards the
4:27
end of council, as you alluded to, there was a lot of yelling
4:30
and screaming and from the public. And I've not had to do this but
4:35
one other time in my five years of being here my job as a mayor.
4:40
I'm also the chairwoman of council. I chair the meeting and council members
4:45
could not speak, we couldn't hear one another because it's a pretty small room.
4:48
You've been in that, it's not a huge room. And so towards
4:53
the end of council, by the way, the majority of the work had
4:55
already been completed, and council members have an opportunity to give remarks, or
5:00
most of the time they give announcements on things that they're doing, or committees
5:02
or things that are up. Yeah or yeah, hey, I want to
5:05
make mention you know, I know you're getting ready to have council member More.
5:08
He's excellent of doing that and the work that he does on the West
5:12
side. But we literally couldn't hear anybody, and so we had to clear
5:15
the chamber. And I hate to do that because I want everybody to know
5:18
people's voices are heard, and we are listening, and we have been listening,
5:23
will continue to listen. But what I can't have in council is a
5:30
setting where, by the way council members you know, have told me before
5:33
and after, I felt afraid. I was scared. It's so tumultuous,
5:40
and we've got to get you know. I spend a little bit of time
5:43
at the end saying we've got to be respectful, we've got to be kind
5:46
to everyone, and we've got to treat everyone with kindness even if we disagree.
5:50
Yelling and screaming and intimidating folks is no way to work with someone.
5:56
And I think the person who said that best is actually count remember More.
6:00
At the end of end of the meeting, he did a beautiful job and
6:03
I think expressing what a lot of folks felt, which was, you know,
6:08
we love so many members of our community, and I promise you our
6:11
head and our hearts are always in the right place. Our head and our
6:14
hearts are always in the right place. It was a difficult time talking about
6:16
difficult things, but we've got to keep order. We're there to do the
6:19
people's work. And again the councilble More is going to join us a little
6:23
bit later on the show. I want to switch gears here Mayor. It
6:26
was announced it because the structural and electrical issues, the Municipal Auditorium will be
6:30
closed into a further notice what was discovered and where do we go from here?
6:33
Yeah, you bet so. End of last year we engaged an engineering
6:39
firm, as you heard me say, in the state of the city.
6:41
And by the way, we've been planning this for months. Get somebody in
6:44
there and tell us, hey, she's beautiful. We have loved her for
6:47
eighty five years. Municipal Auditorium. She's going to need a lot of work.
6:50
Tell us where we stand right now, how much work is she going
6:55
to need? Because as we begin to reimagine her, revision her, how
7:00
much is it going to take in that process. Engineers are required to dave
7:04
if they find something that they call a life safety issue, right, something
7:11
that is wait, hold on, stop the train everybody off. This is
7:14
a bigger problem than hey it looks like the foundation is cracking, or oh
7:17
hey you know this this bathroom will need all new plumbing or all new This
7:23
was an electrical component, one of the main one to the municipal auditorium,
7:28
significant challenges with it, and so we had to shut it down. This
7:33
was not an Amy Goodwin decision. These were experts in the field. We
7:36
met yesterday and it was determined that we had to shut it down, cut
7:43
off power. And then now what we're doing is looking at the short term
7:47
and long term plans of what we do as we move forward. You know
7:51
what I said last night, and this is definitely worth repeating. I'm not
7:56
going to dump a whole bunch of money into a municipal auditorium. And if
7:58
the end of the day, this report comes back, which I hope to
8:01
have in a couple of weeks that says it's a it's you're going to spend
8:05
tens of millions of dollars fixing it when you should just gut it or tear
8:09
it down. Or I'm not saying that's what we're gonna do, but there
8:13
does come a time and that these this is public's money. So I have
8:18
to be very careful about how much am I going to put in and what
8:20
is the return on investment that I'm going to get out of it at the
8:24
end of the day. The only announcement came on the very day when it
8:26
was announced a comedian Kevin Hart would be coming to the Communist body. And
8:30
this is yes. And I will say this if it shows us one thing.
8:35
It shows us this we need immunist auditorium and a structure very much like
8:39
it. There's been a lot of folks saying that's you should have them at
8:43
the coliseum, or you should have them at the I don't know very much,
8:46
but over the five years I have learned now through experts, these are
8:50
the venues that people want. They don't want to go to a thirteen thousand.
8:54
Comedians generally speaking, want smaller value. They want smaller venues. They
8:58
look for those venues. Of course, he could do well the cast,
9:01
so of course that's not the setting in which they choose. By the way,
9:03
we don't choose it. We say hey, we have this, Oh,
9:07
yes, that's what I want. So they made the choice. Yeah
9:09
it's not art. Yes, they look at this facility and go. It's
9:13
the seats, by the way, It's a lot of things. It's the
9:16
amount of seats, it's the close tightness, it is the dates, it's
9:20
the time, it's the travel route in which they're going. There are a
9:24
lot of stars that have to align Dave to get somebody like him. But
9:26
what it shows is we get the big acts. This investment in a new
9:33
municipal auditorium is absolutely worth every single penny because we can pull in these type
9:37
of shows. We now have the relationships to do that. That's why you're
9:41
seeing all of these great names come through and oh, hey, by the
9:45
way, this is on the hiels of Djokoy and Chappelle and you know,
9:48
so many other artists that are coming in and we're real proud of it.
9:50
The one thing I will not do, though, is put somebody in a
9:54
building when somebody says to me, who's an expert in their field, this
9:58
isn't safe. We got to fix this first. Yeah, let me do
10:00
this and then and then we'll let you go. TC Energy it was announced
10:03
have today we'll be moving from Kanas City to downtown to build a sixty million
10:07
dollar facility on the on the Boulevard, give me about thirty seconds on that.
10:11
It's a beautiful building. We're so happy to have hundreds and hundreds of
10:15
their employees Number one to keep TC Energy. So we're thankful that they are
10:18
still here in the city of Charleston and to have all of their employees in
10:22
the downtown area. You know, after the announcement was official, so many
10:26
of them called and said, I'm so excited. This is exactly what we've
10:28
wanted. We want to be downtown. So many folks, you know,
10:33
like you and I, work long hours. They want to go out during
10:35
the day, go have breakfast, meet somebody for lunch that you know,
10:39
they want to have that great downtown setting and in that block. Think about
10:45
all of the great development that's happening. So it's a it's going to be
10:48
a game changer again for downtown Charleston is just thriving right now. All right,
10:52
Mayor, I appreciate you stopping by and on short notice this morning,
10:56
but I felt we need to have you back, so so thanks, thank
10:58
you. Thanks again. It is nine to eighteen a Dave Aland show in

11:22
director of the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce and she joins us now. Ashley,
11:26
good morning, Welcome to the show. Tay, Good morning, Dave.
11:28
Always glad to be here with you. Sorry running a little bit behind
11:31
this morning, but want to give you your time because you get a great
11:33
program over there. You folks have been taking part in a program for some
11:37
time called Dress for Success, where you've collected gently used business type clothing items
11:41
to be given to those who need a hand up to help them in their
11:45
search for work or in some cases a better job, or maybe a promotion
11:48
or something to that nature. You're back at it again, talk about the
11:52
program and what can people do to help absolutely sore. At the Putnam Chamber
11:56
of Commerce, we have a network of women and one of their community service
12:00
initiatives each year is to partner with Dress for Success River Cities to do clothing
12:05
drugs. So this is women's clothing and we collect it once a quarter at
12:09
Area thirty four. Dress for Success has locations in Huntington and in Charleston,
12:16
but nothing in Nothing for drop off in Putnam County, so we like to
12:18
be able to offer that at our location, Area thirty four once a quarter.
12:24
So tomorrow is our first drive of the year and we'll be collecting items
12:31
from seven am until four pm and then we will take those and drop them
12:35
off to the team at Dress for Success River Cities. And their mission is
12:41
to empower women to achieve economic independence spids, providing them a network of support
12:48
and professional attire and then any development tools they may need to thrive. So
12:54
it goes hand in hand with our network of women and what their mission is
12:56
and so we're always proud and happy to support the cost. So if you
13:01
have any items and it can be professional attire, we're always looking for scrubs
13:07
as well as nice work appropriate jeans and if you have any questions, you
13:13
can always call our office or Jessica, the director of Dress for Success River
13:18
Cities with questions and if you drop Mavet Area thirty four that's located just off
13:24
the tafe. You come from Charleston off the Tay's Valley exit, take a
13:26
right and it's between the holiday end of the Army's location, home of the
13:30
best coffee shop in the valley by the way, Putnam Provisions and Driven.
13:33
So stop behind see Connie and getting to get yourself a cup of coffee and
13:37
something much more while you're there. Quickly, I don't want to get into
13:41
specific names, Ashley, but talk about some success stories you've seen over the
13:45
years that you've witnessed since the Network of Women's been taking part in this.
13:50
You know, there have been countless success stories. And one of the things
13:56
that Jessica does a really great job at is sharing those stories on Dress for
14:00
Success with social media Facebook and Instagram. But you know, one of the
14:05
things that we're always really able to help people do if not only provide them
14:07
with the clothing. You know, going to a job interview is intimidating enough,
14:13
and if you don't have, you know, the clothes that you're comfortable
14:16
in or that fit well or that are appropriate for that job, you know
14:20
that always makes it a little bit more difficult, so to be able to
14:22
provide those at no cost to the clients and something that's really important. But
14:26
additionally, you know, Dress for Success can help them with different things like
14:33
their resume building, interview skills, things like that. Another thing too,
14:37
David, Dress for Success is a partner and goes hand in hand with a
14:41
new initiative that our Putnam Chamber network of women started this year called the Comeback
14:45
Club. And what the Comeback Club is is it is an initiative to connect
14:48
women to the resources available to them as they need to re enter the workforce.
14:52
So there's anyone out there that has been out of the workforce and has
14:56
a skills or has a gap on their resume and they're just looking for some
15:00
help because they're not getting any interviews, have them give us a call at
15:03
the Putnam Chamber and we can get them set up with employers, we can
15:07
get their resume updated, get them clothing, and connect it to some of
15:11
our partners like Dressed with Success and the Core program at Marshall and a couple
15:16
of the really great programs that are going on out there that can really help
15:20
them get back to work quickly give us your contact information or people want more
15:24

City Councilman from Ward for Larry Moore coming up a little bit later on the
18:49
show. West Virginia Auto Show is this Friday through Sunday at the Coddalseum,
18:52
a convention center. Actually is gonna kick off Thursday evening with a black tie
18:56
gala with a masquerade theme. That's Thursday night. Lisa Hunt is with the
19:00
show and she joins us. Now, Lisa, good morning, welcome to
19:03
the show. Good morning, thank you for having me. This is just
19:06
one of those big events Lisa, that Charleston looks forward to every year and
19:10
it's back again. Yes, it's a great way for everybody to come in
19:15
and see all the different manufacturers in one site with no pressure. So we
19:19
love for people to be able to come out. And I mentioned the gala
19:22
on the Thursday evening. I think proceeds are going to benefit Good News Mountain
19:25
near Garage just as always one of those highlights of the year around here as
19:29
well. Well certainly. I mean it's a great way to preview this show,
19:33
have everybody come out or you know, raise some great money for a
19:37
good you know, a good cause. And as for the show itself,
19:41
Lisa, it sounds kind of cliche to say this, but it is bigger
19:45
and better than ever. It really is. Yes, I mean we've added
19:48
some extra things. Not only do we have the cars there, we also
19:52
have motorcycles, RVs, ATVs, boats, So just to give everybody a
19:56
little bit of something and One of the things I like about too is that
20:00
you can go and yeah, you can see the dream vehicles. You know,
20:03
you've always got your vehicles that the working folks can only dream about having
20:07
one day and classic cars, but there's actual vehicles there that normal people drive
20:12
too, that everyday people you know, pick up trucks and just irregular sedans
20:18
and vans and things that people drive on a regular basis. It's an opportunity
20:21
to take a look at those as well. Oh, certainly, and you
20:23
have knowledgeable staff there that can go over all the features and benefits. I
20:27
don't know about you, but when you get a new vehicle, a lot
20:30
of times there's so much in there anymore that you need somebody to be able
20:33
to help you, you know, learn all the things that you can do,
20:34
because when you can see those conveniences, it's just amazing. So it's
20:37
just great to have a knowledgeable staff there with no pressure, just being able
20:42
to show you all the different things that the vehicle can do and what are
20:45
some of the side things that are in addition to vehicles. Because I know
20:48
every year they had certain displays they've had, you know, the best of
20:51
the of the of the the muscle cars and things of that nature over the
20:56
years, is anything anything special along those lines this year? So we will
21:00
have classic cars, and we are going to have some ATVs and motorcycles.
21:06
Sunday will be extra phone for the kids, so we'll have bounce houses and
21:11

21:17

21:19
tractors are always fun toys for us. So I mean it's just a little
21:23
bit of something for everyone. Indeed it is. Again we're talking with Lisa

21:56
another thing that I hear people talk about, Lisa when it comes to this
22:00
is they like to go sometimes and look at the newest vehicles and don't necessarily
22:07
be pressured with salespeople. And with all you know, my brother in law
22:11
sales cars, so you know, I'm you know, big love to all
22:14
of our auto dealers out there, but sometimes people do like to go and
22:17
they like to have a chance to open them up, sit down without saying,
22:19
Okay, I'm just looking at the new at the new Silverado, for
22:23
example, I don't necessarily want to buy one. That's a draw that brings
22:26
people in as well, right, And I know sometimes even for women,
22:32
you know, they just want to be able to have some knowledge and be
22:34
able to see everything, and especially moms are working people, I mean,
22:38
anybody. But to be able to have all the vehicles under the same rooms
22:42
so you can see the cargo space, the features, everything right there,
22:47
the different models. It just makes it very convenient because it's all in one
22:49
spot. And like I said, the staff that's there is there to answer
22:52
your questions. They're not trying to push you into anything, but just want
22:56
to help you be able to know more about the vehicles. A wonderful experience.
23:00
I always enjoy the auto show. I like to be able to see
23:04
if your golf clubs are going to fit in the back of a car,
23:07
if you're gonna be able to put a stroller, if this car is going
23:10
to hook up well for my Apple play. You know, just different things
23:14
like that just make it nice. I mean, everybody wants to be able
23:15
to see how the backup camper a camera is if we're going to be pulling
23:18
a trailer. I mean, there's just different things that you're looking for in
23:22
your vehicles. Everybody has something different that they're wanting and this gives them that
23:26
the opportunity to see it. And what is a price for your mission?
23:30
So our admission is going to be twelve dollars at the gate for adults.
23:33
For seniors and military is eight dollars. And if they go online at www
23:37
dot West Virginia Autoshow dot com, they can save two dollars on the adult
23:42
admission and they'ren under twelve are free and that's that's awesome. Kids again get
23:48
in for free and the hours are it's going to be ten to nine Friday
23:52
and Saturday and ten to six Sundays. All right, well, Lisa,
23:56
I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule and we may have some folks
23:59
back on to martw talk little bit more about to get into some of the
24:00
specifics. It's always one of the big highlights again, not only the show
24:03
itself, but the big black tie gala on the Thursday night that serves as
24:07
as a big time fundraiser. That's always a big highlight here in Charleston as
24:11
well. Lisa, I appreciate all the work you've done with this. We'll
24:14
talk again soon. Thanks a lot. Thank you for having me have a
24:17

Looks like some people want to weigh in on the city council meeting last
24:34
night, and again we are going to have council Member Larry Moore from ward
24:37
four coming up a little bit later on. Before I get the text,
24:40

25:10
TEX says David Mayor Goodwin and council members want to be involved at international diplomacy,
25:15
they should apply for a job at the US State Department and stop wasting
25:18
city government time. Well, I mean again, the resolution was tabled,
25:22
uh and it was brought up by some by some citizens, and so you
25:30
know, if you if you see it as a waste of time, perhaps
25:33
it was. I'm one that feels it was a waste of time. That's
25:34
just me personally. Uh, but they have to address what is being brought
25:38
up. So let me see Texas. Why did the mayor kick a citizen
25:45
journalist out of the meeting? Nothing transparent about moving to silence a critic.
25:51
I don't have any I was not at the city council meeting last night.
25:53
I did watch it online last night, and I'm and I'm gonna be honest.
26:00
I want to say I was shocked by what I saw, but I
26:03
really wasn't because I suspected it was gonna happen. As I said, I
26:07
had a conversation and kind of off the record conversation with a city council person,
26:11
not Larry Moore, by the way, It's gonna be on the show
26:12
a little bit later on another city council person last week, and they said
26:15
it was coming. I mean, and and I hate that it turned into
26:21
a Jerry Springer episode, but that's basically what it was last night, and
26:26
it really it's very I mean, you know, Counsel with Pat Jones,
26:30
if you go back and you can watch the video. We've been playing the
26:33
audio from it all morning, and Counsel with Pat Jones is speaking about why
26:37
it is that Charleston is being asked to get involved in an international crisis and
26:42
people just start shouting him down. I mean, what the hell? This
26:45
is not the way America works. Okay, there there is a sense of
26:51
decorum that has to happen here, folks, and that's not it. And
26:55
I think the mayor was completely right in what she did last night. I
26:57
don't always agree with mayor a good one. Mayor and I known each other
27:00
for years and we've gone ahead to add a couple of times. But I
27:03
will say, you got add the coorum. I mean, you have to
27:06
have some sort of decorum and having people shouting and things like that while a
27:10
council person is trying to speak is not the way to do it. I
27:12
blought her for what she did last night. Texas going back to the Municipal
27:17
Auditorium, I may be wrong, says a texture, but isn't the Municipal
27:21
Auditorium a registered historic landmark? Can it be torn down even though it's a
27:26
historic landmark? I mean talking about tearing it down is a little bit,
27:30
a little bit soon. Right now, We're gonna have to wait and see
27:33
what happens on that But I don't know the answer to that question. Texas.

day. The protesters at Charleston City Council meeting are out of control. They
27:55
must realize that this is America, not the Middle East. Thanks, says
27:59
a tex TEXTA says strangely convenient that the municipal auditorium suddenly shut down days before
28:06
a well known conservative and spiritual based speaker was set to host an event there.
28:11
Text says, do we need the auditorium more than a swimming pool in
28:15
the mall? Says a texture. Texter says America's lost two great patriots,
28:23
country singer and songwriter Toby Keith and retired New York firefighter Bob Beckwith. He
28:29

32:30
that on the show yesterday. Charleston City Councilman from ward for Larry Mories Here,
32:35
Councilman Morgan, morning, Welcome to the show. Good morning, Dave.
32:37
Thanks for having still talking about the city council meeting last night, council
32:42
opting to table the resolution calling for the ceasefire in Israel. It got so
32:46
out of hand that the mayor had to clear the council chambers and and counsel
32:52
when you gave it impassioned speech. And I'm paraphrasing greatly here where were those
32:58
people when you, folks and others, we're out doing the work in places
33:02
like the West Side. Explore your comments on that a little bit further.
33:06
Well, like I know a few people had donated to the to the cause
33:10
of when we had the gas leakage. With a gas outage, I mean,
33:14
and we appreciate that, but it's been so many other incidents of like
33:16
violence, and we're trying to get our neighborhoods saved. Like I said,
33:20
we were trying to get a grocery store, we were trying to change the
33:22
school name, all that stuff that was going on over there. We never
33:25
see none of these people, and they only show up when it's benefiting them.
33:30
And like I said in the meeting, as me being a city councilman,
33:34
I am passionate about my neighborhood, but I'm also passionate about the city
33:37
of Charleston and about everybody's struggle. And I can be passionate and be and
33:42
be passionate for you too. In the same instance, council council member Beth
33:47
Currents asked for a the tabled resolution to be brought back and said that the
33:52
and again I'm kind of paraphrasing you, that the majority of people in Charleston
33:55
wanted this. Has Has that been your experienced counselor, because again, I
34:00
don't live in Charleston, but I work here. Here's at least six or
34:01
seven days a week, and I know what I hear on the phones and
34:05
what I see on the tax line. That's not what I have been hearing.
34:07
But you're here in town, you live in Charleston, you tell me
34:10
what it is is that people are for like de cease for her because nobody
34:14
wants to see people being getting killed, as in kids and elderly people.
34:19
We're all for that. We want the violence to end and that and what
34:22
it is. I guess if a certain group, if you're not doing it
34:24
the way they wanted to be done, they take it as an offense and
34:28
that you don't care. That's not far from the truth. Like I'm people
34:31
in the city councils were compassionate. I mean, majority of us, we're
34:36
all for the peace. We wanted to stop. We want, we want
34:39
it to end. But I guess it's a group. If you're not doing
34:42
it the way they wanted to do it, they consider you not wanting or
34:45
not helping. Do you think that the mayor did the right thing in clearing
34:49
the council chambers last night? Yeah, because it got to the point where
34:52
you were there, so you know, I was watching. So I mean,
34:53
it's like City Council was supposed to be a civil spot and you should
34:58
we follow the Masonic rules and you're not supposed to, you know, interrupt
35:00
while you know why in session we had council members speaking and the people were
35:08
screaming while he was talking. Counsel Pat Jones. It was at the end
35:12
of the meeting where the council people get an opportunity to speak about something that's
35:15
on their mind or to many times as Mayor and I talked about order to
35:19
thank people for a certain projects. Then Counselman Jones was speaking and uh and
35:24
and asking the question basically, why is Charleston City Council getting involved in international
35:29
issues of why are we masked to do this? And and I mean,
35:32
and it was it was, it was. It was pretty intense. So
35:36
I mean, people screaming and yelling, and that's not how you change hearts
35:40
and minds counseling. I mean, and then like, well, even before
35:43
that, when we were doing like I had, I was going to think
35:45
about saying yes to untabling the vote. So a few people started voting and
35:51
a few people said no, and people started booing this that's for a roll
35:53
call, yeah, a roll call vote. And I was, you know,
35:55
because I had made it. I had talked to some people on the
35:58
phone earlier that day and I was like, you know, I was gonna
36:00
go say yes, you know, to untable it. And then when people
36:04
start saying no and they start booming and screaming, I was like, man,
36:07
this is I mean, it's it's this is not like I worked in
36:09
a middle school and it's I've seen more decorum and a room full of middle
36:14
school kids than in our city council last night, and it was it's just
36:17
it's unbearable. I mean to think that, Dave me and you can agree
36:22
to disagree. I can let you talk and I don't have to agree with
36:25
it, but I'm not going to over over talk you scream and yell at
36:29
you while you're speaking that's just that's is one of the most rudest things I
36:32
can think you can do to people. Like everybody has a spot to talk.
36:35
I will never cut anybody off, no matter you know. I'll let
36:37
you speak and then maybe I'll come to a form that i can't say what
36:43
I want to say. But I'm not going to cut you off a screaming
36:45
at you and yell and called you names, and that's not it's not it's
36:46
not right. They refer to you as a murderer. Well, the first
36:50
meeting we had, the first time, when the first table, when the
36:53
first table to unbuild, and they got our right and they were calling us
36:58
murderers and blood was on our hands and all that, and that that hits
37:00
hit me hard because if you've never come to my neighborhood and been through what
37:07
I've been through, grew up what I've grown up, and seen what I've
37:08
seen. I work every day in the school system to help kids and try
37:13
to keep them off the path I've and I've lost kids to sinceless acts of
37:16
violence, and I've seen I lost kids to the streets, kids to jail.
37:21
And uh, when you say that a murderer to me, I mean
37:23
that, and it hit my heart and that it been weighing on me ever
37:27
since that that day they said that, and you don't know me, you
37:30
don't even come to my neighborhood to see what we fight like. We've had
37:34
stop the violence, block parties, we do, book bad giveaways, we
37:38
do. I'm always in the streets, were always trying to talk to people.
37:42
I got, Me and my friends, we always just trying to steer
37:44
them in the right direction. For y'all to come in and just be like
37:47
murderers and bloods on your hands. I mean, you don't even come to
37:52
my neighborhood. You don't even understand. You don't even know what I've been
37:53
through. You don't even understand what I've been through my life. You don't
37:57
And just to say that to somebody that's that was just trigger and instdraumatizing to
38:00
me. That's what you said. Again, we're talking to the councilman,
38:02
Larry Moore. You you stated that last night that looking to and by the
38:08
time that you got to speak, I think that the chamber had been had
38:12
been emptied pretty much except for the council members and the media. Uh.
38:15
But but you said to those people that I think at one point you said
38:19
something to the effect of I wish they were still here so they could hear
38:22
this. So I'm giving you the opportunity now in case they are listening,
38:24
which I think they probably are. So what would you say to those people?
38:30
Man, I'm just like we can we have to be able to agree
38:35
to disagree, but we have to have a common groundhere. We can talk
38:37
to each other and get things fixed. Because when you come in and you
38:39
throw allegations at people and screaming, yell at people without knowing them or know
38:44
what they've been through, you don't know their heart, and it's just it
38:47
goes left and it turns people off. And I mean, the thing of
38:51
it is, we're all for peace. We want peace. You know,
38:54
you were upset about the letter that we sent to the Congress, but to
38:58
our state senators, and they didn't like it because I guess the letter didn't
39:00
have cease fire in it. But we want peace for everybody instead of coming
39:06
back and just talking to us like you come in and yelling and scream and
39:09
not all the group is like that, but you have a few that come
39:13
just to cause the cause, cause havoc and it's just the way man,
39:17
you it's the corem on how you just you had those situations and like me
39:22
as being a marginalized person myself, man, and you do accusations at me
39:25
and say things like that, you don't know what I go through it every
39:30
day in my life. I go through stuff that some of these people can
39:31
never imagine going through. And it's me being a city council member. I
39:37
still deal with stuff that y'a wouldn't have to deal with ever in y'all's life.
39:39
And to come to me and then call me a murderer and I mean,
39:43
it's just and never spoke to me like I said, they don't even
39:45
come to our neighborhoods, don't even live in our neighborhoods, and I mean
39:49
we have events or in some cases they don't live in the state. Yeah,
39:52
yes, And that's one things too. And I talk about that because
39:53
I said, like last night, Counselman Mike Furrer was walking off the building
39:59
and lady yell than him and called him a coward and he had voted yes
40:01
on untabling it. And I was like, so, y'all just came just
40:06
to argue and yell. You didn't even pay attention to what was going on
40:07
in the meeting. And that's that's troubling too, because sometimes you align yourself
40:12
with people that make it worse for your calls. Yeah, and I and
40:17
I think it's a good point what you said is everybody once wants piece in
40:22
that region. I mean most normal people do. But as I have a
40:27
text to the show here and somebody said, what exactly is them passing this
40:30
going to accomplish over there? If the city of charge, I mean,
40:34
it's not like, as I said, they're going to get a piece of
40:37
paper and go, oh, well, Charleston, West Virginia wants us to
40:38
stop this? Yeah, I mean I don't know. I mean that's like
40:42
I said, it's beyond me. And I mean, like if we do
40:45
it, And I asked a question I wanted to ask the ask serious question.
40:47
I said, like, what's the solution? Say, say we signed,
40:50
we send a piece the cease fire letter and nothing happened. What's the
40:54
next move? What's the solution? What's going to be the next move?
40:57
And I mean I can't really hear anything, but we just get you that.
41:00
I mean, like you got to have a plan. I mean,
41:01
if plan A doesn't work and need a plan B playing C, D F.
41:05
I mean they need to there's no plans just coming here. We just
41:07
get to get yelled at well counseling more. I appreciate you taking time out
41:12
of your schedule to be here. And by the way, congratulations because since
41:16
I think since I've had you on the show, if you've been on since
41:19
in or not you you were named assistant principal, yes, sir, at
41:22
Capitol High School, So I don't think they could have got a better person,
41:25
you know, I appreciate you to do that. Any final words before
41:30
we before we cut you loose, because I know you got to get back
41:31
to school. So any any final words that that that you'd like to to
41:37
say, maybe to those who are disappointed that there the that it was table
41:42
not taken back up last night, Well, I just want to say man
41:45
as a city man, like I said last NK to meeting, I represented
41:49
Ward four of the West side of Charleston, but I represent the city of
41:52
Charleston and for us to make the city better, to get anything done,
41:54
we have to work together. Sometimes you we have to be able to agree,
41:58
to disagree, but to work together to come to a common ground.
42:00
To fix issues and solve things. When we divide it, when nobody wins.
42:06
When the family feuds, nobody wins. But we have to come to
42:08
a piece a place of working together in the green stuff. Like I said
42:12
in the meeting last night, we have a group of kids in the city
42:15
of Charleston that won't get to play sports because a football league won't let these
42:19
kids in the city of Charleston in we have boys and girls cheerleaders. But
42:22
do y'all care about that? And that affects more kids that I deal with,
42:28
keeping them off the street, giving them something to do, giving them
42:30
role models and mentors to see. So what I mean is this, I
42:34
care about your your I'm passionate about your situation. Be passionate about Smell's situation.
42:37
And I'm here to help. I want I'm wanting to work with anybody,
42:40
if anybody who knows me. I'm here to make said Charleston a better
42:44
place and help everybody and anybody succeed. That's what I want to do.

Texas. Congratulations to Counselman More on his new job. I wish I could
46:10
have viewed his impassioned speech, but the mayor kicked out the citizen journalist who
46:15
was live streaming. Well, I wasn't there, and I watched it on
46:17
the live stream, so again I don't know about this. I wasn't there.
46:22
I watched it like a lot of you folks did on the on the
46:25
live stream. I watched the entire thing, including his speech, which is
46:29
why I reached out to Councilman More. Uh, text, said my guy.
46:35
But for real, what would the letter do? Nothing? Nothing?
46:37
It would do absolutely nothing. That's the whole point of this. Tex says,
46:44
What rights is the legislature planning to take away from women this month?
46:47
Stop the war on women? Says a Texter programming notes. Tonight, the
46:54
leading four Republican candidates for governor will meet in a debate at Glade Springs.
47:00
Patrick Morrissey, Macwarner, Chris Miller, Moore, Capita will all be there.
47:02
It starts with five point thirty Hoppy Kerchival. We'll be doing the moderating
47:07
and we will carry the audio of the debate at wv metronews dot com.
47:12
So if you want to listen in now, Hopy's taking the day off.
47:15
He's prepping for the debate tonight. Dave Wilson will be in the host chair
47:19
today, but on this show tomorrow, we're going to continue to talk about
47:23
this weekend's auto show at the Coloseuma Convention Center. Plus Brad McIlhenny is going
47:28
to join us to give us a review of tonight's gubernatorial debate. I am
47:32
looking forward to taking that in tonight's and this is really going to be their
47:37
first debates. You know, they've had some forums and some discussions, one
47:42
of those in Morgantown back in December. Attorney General Morris he didn't take part
47:45
in. He is going to be in this one, and there's actually going
47:47
to be several of these coming up from what I understand, and Hoppy will
47:52
be moderating this one. Tonight. I am going to be listening intently tonight
47:55
and then Brad and I will talk about it tomorrow. Texas Cities should send
48:01
a letter to Hamas demanding that they unconditionally surrender to stop the violence that they
48:07
started to begin with, says a Texter. Texter says Davi, this council
48:14
meeting was as bad as Trump supporting Hamas because he didn't like the Israeli leader.

48:43
members. Story posted at wv Metronews dot com this couple from Sissonville who were
48:51
arrested and charged with child neglect. We all recall the story for allegedly keeping
48:57
two of their adoptive kids locked in a chef have each posted bond two hundred
49:02
thousand dollars apiece. In fact, Gene Whitefeather and Donald Ray Lance are the
49:08
people here and they are charged with felony gross child neglect creating a substantial risk
49:15
of injury. Now, we all heard this story going back to October,
49:21
and we talked about it in length on the show here, and the neighbors
49:25
said that they had repeatedly called CPS and nothing was done. Eventually, the
49:30
police did get involved and they found these two adopted kids living in Squalor in
49:37
a shelter and their adoptive parents. Whitefeather and mister Lance were taken into custody
49:45
and that was in That was in early October. Now White Feather's bond conditions
49:52
allow for her to be released only to home confinement, and the judge cheers,
50:00
uh I guess, saying that she is considered to be a flight risk,
50:04
whereas mister Lance is not. Stories posted about it at wv metronews dot
50:08
com. Okay, I'm not gonna get into it. I'm not gonna get
50:16
into a name calling thing here. But somebody says was a citizen journalist and
50:20
it mentions the person's name. I If so, then removal is completely understandable.
50:24
Since I don't I don't know. I don't know. Again, I
50:27
don't get into citizen journalists, I you know, not a kind of do
50:30
it the professional way. Uh. Well, I don't know. I don't
50:34
know if you consider what I do professional here or not. I just have
50:36
fun, That's basically what I do. But I don't know. I again,
50:39
I wasn't there. I was watching the video like a lot of people
50:43
were online. Uh. And and and it was it was just I was
50:50
again, like I said earlier in the cheffe, I wasn't surprised at what
50:52
I saw because because we knew it was gonna happen. I mean it was
50:57
it was stated. Uh in my conversation with the city council person last week,
51:00
they said that this was going to happen, that they were going to
51:04
turn up the heat on this. Well it got you nowhere. As matter
51:06
of fact, if you go back and you listen to my interview with counselman
51:09
more, he was considering untabling the amendment. He was considering that until they
51:15
started getting screamed at and called murderers and then the Again, I keep using
51:22
the analogy of the Jerry Springer Show. Then the Jerry Springer Show broke out,
51:25
so so yeah, and then the people, according to More County Counselman
51:31
Moore, were yelling at people like Counselman Pharaoh who voted for it, who
51:37
voted to untable it, and calling them shame. They didn't even know who
51:39
the people were. And that's when you get into out of state people and
51:44
things of that nature. So just a mess, just a mess at all.
51:47
Tex says Dave. I'm currently at war with a family of squirrels in
51:52
my attic, wondering if you could maybe put a word in for me to
51:53
city council. Thanking you in advance on that notes we are going to go.
52:00
