2:01
Plus to put it mildly, there are some all out massacres last week in
2:06
the world of high school football and there are a lot of reasons people are
2:08
pointing two for that. One is a new high school transfer rule which pretty
2:13
much allows high school student athletes to transfer to whatever, whenever school what they
2:16
want to play sports without having to set out a year. Delegate Data Farrell
2:21
of here in Kadan County, himself a long time educator, it's got a
2:23
problem with that, and he's going to join us to talk about that a
2:25
little bit later on and have you your opportunity to weigh in on that as
2:30
well. Seems to have been a problem with the West Virginia poll, particularly
2:34
the one that was released on Friday, as it pertains to the race for
2:37
Republican governor. The Republican nomination for governor. Rex Repass was on Hoppey to
2:42
explain it yesterday, and we're going to way in on that as well,
2:46
Pluts I guess top before we get to our first guests this morning. The
2:51
big story around here today tomorrow all of our stations is the WV Medicine Children's
2:54

these kids and the people who care for them. And we're gonna be talking
3:34
about that a little bit more a little later on the show as well as
3:37
on all of our stations as well. So lots to get to something big
3:40
going on to Putnam County this weekend. It's the annual Putnam County Homecoming with
3:45
us now Patty Ashworth and a gala tie part of the Putnam County home Coming.
3:49
Ladies, Good morning, welcome to the show. Good morning, Wow,
3:53
listen to it's like they're having a pointer sisters on here, perfect Youth.
3:57
Did you guys rehearse that saying that at the same time like that?
4:00
No, but we should have if we had rehearsed. It wouldn't have worked
4:04
out, are they? I guess there's always a part of what goes on
4:08
over there. They do have a talent competition. Is that still happening this
4:11
year? No, it's not. Oh well, I was gonna say,
4:14
you guess were perfect, You guess could have entered the talent competition. Oh
4:16
well, thank you. How many years, ladies, has this thing been
4:20
going on in Winfield? Ninety four? And is it true that Mayor Randy
4:27
Barrett's been there for ninety three of them? What we're here? Yeah,
4:32
it's a big event. I mean it is. It's one of the premier
4:35
events in Putnham County. I'm talking about the Putnham County home coming down.
4:39
What are the days and dates? We know the dates, but just give
4:42
us the days. It's this coming Saturday the ninth and Sunday the tenth.
4:48
And what all do we have going on? You said there's no talent show
4:51
this year? But what do we have going on? Well, on Saturday,
4:56
we have Maximum Velocity Wrestling. We'll be there in the afternoon to entertain
5:05
and I think there'll probably be a big draw. People seem to like the
5:11
like the wrestling entertainment. We have music from live music from the stage will
5:19
be happening from two o'clock until probably about nine or ten o'clock that evening.
5:25
We've got magicians that will be there that day. We've got a large car
5:30
show that will be going on on the court House Hill. Let's see what
5:36
else we've got going on that day. Oh, c amc has will be
5:43
providing a healthfare there on Main Street from twelve until four thirty. Gaily want
5:49
to tell him about Sunday. On Sunday, the festivities will start with the
5:56
opening ceremonies with a flag raising at ten. We'll have a church service at
6:00
ten forty five gospel music. After the church service, the Face Myers will
6:08
be singing. At one o'clock introduction of the queens, and at one thirty
6:15
the grand parade. And that parade is huge every year. I mean it
6:20
is a big old parade, ladies. Yes, yes, And the church
6:26
service is always that's kind of a unique thing, uh, but that's always
6:30
been a part of it, at least, you know, for many many
6:31
years. When I understands having that that that church service and sometimes people in
6:35
that area well step away from their their normal church for a Sunday and everybody
6:40
comes together for one big church service there right right, it is a community
6:45
church service. Everyone is welcome and it's always very, very nice. And
6:50
how much work goes into this thing? I know the answer is a lot,
6:54
But I mean you literally, this is one of those things ladies that
6:57
you once once this weekend is over, you'll start working on next year,
7:00
as I presume. Yeah, probably the first part of October we start working
7:04
on the events and trying to line up entertainment type of thing for next year.
7:13
And there's always great food at the Putnam County Homecoming as well, we
7:17
hope. So I've never had any complaints in the past, and I've gone
7:21
every year, so I haven't had just nearly every year since I've lived there,
7:26
I've never had any complaints. And again we're talking about Patty Ashworth and
7:29
Galen Terry as part of the Puttnham County Homecoming. Is there a place where
7:33
people can learn more about it? There is a website or a Facebook page
7:40
Putnam County Homecoming Festival, And I believe there's just a website, isn't there.
7:46
Yeah, Putnam County Homecoming dot Com. Here you go, So it's
7:49
all right there for we Putnam County Homecoming dot Com again, give us the
7:54
dates and the times again, go over the schedule again before we let you
7:57
go. Ladies. Okay, it's Saturday, this coming Saturday. The night
8:03
the entertainment will begin around two, so we will have craft vendors and food
8:09
vendors that will be set up at noon, So from noon until seven o'clock
8:15
that evening, Cody Wick one will take the stage and he'll probably be there
8:20
for until about nine. Then on Sunday we start at ten o'clock with the
8:26
flag raising and followed by the community church service by the gospel music that we
8:33
also will end the day with the crowning of the new miss Putnam County.
8:39
And that'll be on Sunday the tenth, and the grand Parade begins at one
8:43
thirty. Anybody that wants to participate in the parade can still show up that
8:50
day, but make sure you're there by noon so that the people in charge
8:54
of the parade can work you into the line and that kind of thing.
9:00
And explain the parade route again. It begins at on the Courthouse Hill or
9:05
around the middle School area and those three town on the Maine eight seventeen down
9:13
to the elementary school. Well, it's gonna be a lot of fun.
9:18
It always is. Hope the weather holds out. My good friends in the
9:20
world of meteorology say that there could be some rain this weekend. But you
9:22
know what, I'm sure you folks have gone through rain to do this.
9:26
You've gone through probably cold temperatures, and you've gone through hot temperatures as well.
9:30
You'll get through it. Ladies. I appreciate you being here. We'll
9:31
see you this weekend. Thanks a lot, all right, thank you,
9:35
all right, Patty Ashworth and Galing Terry from the Putnam County homecoming to get
9:39
It's Saturday and Sunday and everything going on in will It really is a big
9:43
deal. I had an opportunity a few years ago to have America's Got Talent
9:48
winner Landaal Eugene Murphy Junior there. Landaal actually judged their talent competition. He
9:54
and Kenny Bass and a couple of other people judge a talent competition. And
9:58
I got a chance to drive a land in the parade over there several years
10:03
ago. So it's a big news in Winfield. If you get an opportunity
10:05

14:39
It's good to be with you. Thank you picked a special day to
14:41
be here. Man. It's kind of a beehive of activity going on with
14:45
our with our with our thing we're doing upstairs there with the kids, w
14:48
Medicine, Children's Cares for Kids, Radio thon. So well, thanks for
14:52
having me on it, and it is and thank you for the work that
14:54
you're doing for the for the children and West Virginia. And we're doing it
14:58
not only as we said at this station, but all of our stations throughout
15:01
the state. We're all taking a part of this. First of all,
15:03
I want to start the West Virginia poll came out Friday which showed you in
15:07
the lead at least early on in the Republican nomination for governor. Now,
15:11
so tweaking as I talked about, it had to be done, but still
15:13
doesn't change the fact that that and that was all covered with Rex repass On
15:18
Hoppy yesterday. But the poll shows that you are in the lead over Attorney
15:22
General Patrick Morrissey. I'll dealer Chris Miller's Secretary of State Mic Warner again very
15:24
early on. But what are you doing right so far? Well, it
15:28
is early on, and you know We're going to see a lot of polls,
15:30
and obviously we know that the only poll that really matters is when West
15:33
Virginians go to the polls on election day and make the decision. But you
15:39
know, I think what we're seeing is a reflection of our room for growth.
15:43
We're seeing great momentum. All of this is very encouraging, and I
15:46
think, you know, when you look at it, it's a result of
15:50
the work that we've been doing. We've been on the road. I think
15:54
we've driven more than thirty five thousand miles in this state so far, and
15:58
we're just getting started talking to parents, and we're talking to teachers, and
16:03
we're talking to our church leaders and community leaders and our law enforcement and all
16:08
of these folks are excited again about West Virginia and we're starting to win.
16:15
We know that West Virginia, for the first time in a long long time,
16:18
is on the right track. And we've seen that reflected in some of
16:23
the news coverage that obviously you all have had here. But I can tell
16:27
you that has been reflected when we've been on the road listening. That's what
16:32
we're hearing from West Virginians. And as someone who played a lot of sports
16:34
growing up. Our coach has always said, you can never win unless you
16:38
believe you can win, and West Virginians are starting to believe we can win
16:42
again. I want to talk about that message that's out there and again you
16:48
kind of touch them a little bit. Again, we're talking about Ella get
16:49
more capital a Republican Canada for governor. So when you're going out to a
16:52
town hall, or you're going to meeting, as you said, with a
16:55
church group, or you're meeting with with whomever that you happen to be meeting
16:57
with enthusiasts, are you hearing that enthusiasm from West Virginia a lot? Because
17:03
I hear both. I mean I have a lot of people on the show
17:06
that say, yes, yes, they're hearing it. But then some people
17:08
maybe they're not seeing it where they I mean here in the Kanawa Valley.
17:12
I live in Putnam County. We're exploding in Putnam County right now, and
17:15
the Eastern Panhandle's doing real well the Morgantown area, but an area like let's
17:18
say a McDowell County, uh, maybe not seeing it as much or a
17:22
Clay County. I'm just using those an example. What are those people telling
17:26
you, I think we're hearing generally speaking, we're hearing encouraging feedback when we
17:32
when we've been all throughout West Virginia, and clearly we're seeing pockets that are
17:37
that are experiencing more growth. We've seen that for a few years, of
17:42
course in the eastern Panhandle. We're starting to see it with the developments and
17:48
economic development announcements that we've seen of course in Jackson County and in Mason County
17:52
as of late, and those things those have tentacles, and that the tentacles
17:57
from those announcements are POI we have the thing that I was mentioning last week
18:04
when we were at our first sort of debate. I mentioned that, you
18:10
know, my grandfather used to write me letters, and there's one that vividly
18:12
sticks with me, and in that he had suggested that in his life he
18:18
had found that successful people were good listeners, and that I adopt that creed.
18:22
Now, as I said then, I'm not sure if he was sending
18:25
us a not so subtle hint at the time or just giving us life advice.
18:29
But that's something that's stuck with me. So when we go to any
18:33
community in West Virginia, the first thing that we do is listen. Too
18:37
often folks go into the room and just start talking. But the number one
18:41
thing that we are focused on is listening. Listening to the people of West
18:45
Virginia, listening to how they're feeling, listening to what their concerns are.
18:48
I can tell you, as a parent of two young children, that a
18:52
lot of what we're hearing is a result of the you know, the Biden
18:56
Administration's crazy economic policies that are causing prices to soar on West Virginians. So
19:03
you know, when West Virginians asked us to deliver historic tax relief this past
19:07
year, I was proud to lead and we got that done. But we
19:11
need to find more ways to put more money in folks pockets so they can
19:15
get up and get started. I want to talk about your time in the
19:18
legislature. What did you accomplish. What are some of the things that you
19:22
were particularly proud of that you as the legislature that you were able to work
19:26
with others or yourself to be able to accomplish. That you think will transition
19:30
as you move from that building into another one. If you're elected governor and
19:33
you move into the governor's mansion. Anybody that knows me or that has worked
19:37
with me will tell you that I will that I have an open door policy.
19:41
I always listened, as I mentioned before, and I think that's critical
19:45
and delivering a policy that has positive results. I mean, and I've always
19:52
executed and delivered as Judiciary chairman. You know this, Dave. There is
19:56
no committee that sees more conservative principal policy than that committee. And I've been
20:04
proud to lead that committee and deliver and craft the most conservative agenda in the
20:10
history of the state of West Virginia. And on our travels across the state
20:12
and the people that we're talking to in West Virginia, they appreciate the work
20:18
that we've done in banning sanctuary cities. They appreciate the work that we have
20:22
done to protect the life of the unborn. They appreciate what we have gotten
20:26
done to protect Second Amendment rights, and of course they appreciate the economic pro
20:30
growth policies that took us when I came into the legislature from a four hundred
20:34
and fifty or so million dollars deficit to last year and an almost a two
20:41
billion dollars surplus. So the tides are changing in West Virginia, and that's
20:45
because of what we have gotten done, and we've been talking about our get
20:48
it done conservative message and it's really resonating with the people of West Virginia.
20:53
You're talking to more Capital, who is a delegate and wants to be the
20:57
next governor of the state of West Virginia. Our phone calls to five eighty
21:00
liveer's service of Bigley Piggley Wiggly and our texting services provided by Truth Pharmacy,
21:04
your hometown Family Pharmacy. Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has said he is the only
21:11
true conservative that's in the field, certainly saying he's the only one with a
21:14
proven track record in the field as it pertains to his accomplishments. Now,
21:18
when I had Secretary of State Mike Corner on the show, I asked him
21:21
his thoughts on that. Asked Chris Miller when he was on the show last
21:23
week. Your thoughts when you hear that statement. As we continue to say
21:27
we are the get it done conservative in this race. If you look at
21:33
my record in accomplishments and executing and delivering on conservative issues, it is second
21:40
to none. Again, I'll reiterate, as you know and many of your
21:44
listeners know, as Chairman of judic of the Judiciary Committee, I am charged
21:48
with crafting the most conservative policies and ensuring not only that they're crafted and put
21:53
through our committee, but then I stand and defend them on the floor and
21:59
ensure that they become law in the state of West Virginia. Everybody that we
22:03
are talking to in the state of West Virginia recognizes that they recognize the positive
22:07
steps and the momentum that we have put in place in the legislature, and
22:11
I'm proud to have gotten that done and gotten it done in a very conservative
22:15
way. Last week, the Chamber of Commerce said that there are a business
22:18
summit at the Greenbrier. Know, you were part of that. The other
22:22
other folks that want to be governor on the Republican side, we're all part
22:25
of that forum. I got a chance to watch it after the fact.
22:27
I wasn't there, but I watched it after the fact, and it really
22:30
wasn't a debate more. It was more of a you know, just this
22:33
is what you hope to do. And I have thought everything turned out to
22:36
pretty well. Did you hear anything in there or sense anything there that's going
22:41
to kind of do you think will push you ahead of the others. I
22:44
think it's great to be able to get together and talk about the vision that
22:48
I have for West Virginia. This is a movement that again has room to
22:53
grow. We continue to accelerate and build momentum as we talk about this,
22:59
any chance that we have to set forth our accomplishments and what we've done as
23:04
they get it done conservative in this race and then talk about a vision again,
23:11
what is what is going on in West Virginia right now is a really
23:14
special time And what all of the candidates on that stage said last week is
23:18
that West Virginia has momentum and West Virginia has momentum because of the work that
23:22
Governor Justice and the legislature have done. So when we think about why we
23:27
are where we are, much of that has to do with what I have
23:32
gotten done in the legislature and what we have gotten done us as a group
23:37
down in Charleston. And that is that is spread throughout, that is spread
23:41
throughout the state. And that that event there was I said it was more
23:45
of a foreign But there will be debates as we get again. We're you
23:48
know, we're just we just now passed Labor Day campaigns start earlier and earlier
23:52
every year, every time, it seems, but there will be some actual
23:56
debates, classic debates held either on television, radio, or in specific auditoriums
24:02
or whatever. You're looking forward to those, absolutely, we look forward to
24:04
every opportunity that we have again to talk to as many people as we can
24:08
talk to. Our reference again are thirty five thousand miles on the road and
24:12
we're just getting started. We're going to listen to as many West Virginians as
24:17
we can, as many parents, as many community leaders, church leaders,
24:21
law enforcement. We want to hear what is going on in the ground.
24:25
And I think what's particularly important and why I really stress how much we are
24:30
getting out there is because this is about, you know, hard work,
24:34
and I've always been a very gritty person and the best way to find the
24:40
solutions to take West Virginia to the next level is to listen to the folks
24:45
that are on the ground. And that's exactly what we're doing. We're going
24:48
to each and every community and spending time listening to the issues that matter the
24:52
most. As expected, on Monday, Huntington Mayor Steve Williams jumped to the
24:56
race as of now being the only Democrat that's running for good or that could
25:02
change your thoughts on on Steve Williams. He's a nice guy. I think
25:07
anytime you know, you welcome people to the field. Obviously I have.
25:10
There's there's a stark contrast with the mayor and I and our politics, you
25:15
know, and we're looking forward to getting to that in the general when we
25:18
win this primary. I was gonna say, but you're gonna get through the
25:21
primary first, and it's gonna be a tough race. And it has been
25:26
so far pretty cordial. I think between the between the campus, because you
25:30
guys all know each other and you're all friends. I guess to a certain
25:33
extent, are you worried that it may not stay as cordial as we move
25:36
through the campaign. Every day we wake up, we're looking forward, and
25:40
I think that's an important thing. And when we started this campaign, I
25:44
said, we're gonna go in every single day looking forward because that's what the
25:48
people of West Virginia want. They want to look forward. They want to
25:51
be excited about taking West Virginia to the next level. We're on the right
25:55
track, we're moving in the right direction. We're excited again. We're gonna
25:59
talk about that and we're gonna tell our story. For too long in West
26:03
Virginia, we've let others dictate sort of what our narrative is. And I'm
26:07
excited to be able to be the face of that, a new generation of
26:11
that, and it's an exciting time in West Virginia. I'll get more capital,
26:15
I'll give you, I'll give you the final thirty here, and I'll
26:18
have you on plenty of time as well as all the other candidates before before
26:21
we get to the primary next May. But why should people consider casting their
26:26
vote for you as opposed to let's say, the other Republicans in the race.
26:29
Thank you again for having me on, Dave. You know, to
26:32
take West Virginia to the next level, we have to make sure that we
26:34
have safer communities, we have to have world class education, we have to
26:38
continue our pro growth economic policies, and we have to ensure that we unlock
26:44
West Virginia's energy assets so that West Virginia can lead this country's return to energy
26:49
independence. And as your governor, we will get that done together. And
26:53
when we do, opportunity will follow. Our people will see bigger pay checks
27:00
and West Virginia will become a twenty first century hub for opportunity. You can

made by the West Virginia. Paul rex Repass talked about it in detail on

Hoppy yesterday. You can read the story ww metrodus dot com or go back
30:48
and listen to his explanation on yesterday's show. Mistakes happen, and it didn't
30:55
you know in the poll it had more capital in the lead and Patrick Morrisey
31:00
and I think what was twenty three, and it turns out he was actually
31:03
a little higher at twenty seven. So I read the story. I want
31:07
to have a little little comment on that myself, coming up a little bit
31:10
later on. David Farrell is with us right now, Delegate Dada Fair,
31:12
how are you man, Good morning and doing good. Thank you for being
31:17
here. These high school football scores from this Friday night, Delegate right,
31:21
I think Hurricane just scored another touchdown while we were setting here. And I
31:25
say that jokingly, but oh my gosh, I mean I'm watching I'm watching
31:29
the scores on on the WVU, on the on the Metro News ticker,
31:33
and I'm like, how is this? How is this possible? These scores?
31:37
Is the transfer rule that was passed by the legislature, is is it
31:42
responsible for what we the massacres we saw this Friday night. Well, it's
31:45
not solely responsible, but it's compounding the issue. And we warned, we
31:52
warned our fellow delegates back in March when this bill came came across the floor
31:59
and we're ready vote on we debated. Remember this bill was debated on for
32:01
over an hour on the House for a pretty vigorous debate. Uh at a
32:06
point we were making it. At that point though it was all hypothetical.
32:08
Now it's reality and we're seeing it, you know, show up with these
32:13
lopsided scores and h and even more so, I mean, we see the
32:17
data. You know, this is not just about football. Remember, this
32:20
is going on in other sports, and we're going to see this happening more
32:22
and more as this moves forward, especially as we get into winter sports and
32:25
basketball. What was the reason behind it? I mean, I know you
32:30
weren't somebody that supported it, but I mean, obviously there were those that
32:32
did it, and it passed without the governor signature. By the way,
32:35
he didn't sign it. But what was the whole idea behind it? As
32:38
best you understand it, Danta, Okay, my understanding and what was told
32:43
to me is that you know, it was a particular senator and I'm not
32:45
naming names. There was particular senator and this came out of the Senate and
32:49
it's actually came out the last two or three years, and it's been beat
32:51
down in the House last two or three years, and it was one of
32:52
its way to being tabled and shelved again this year on the last day session.
32:59
This Senator Shoe warned the basically amended this bill into another popular Hope Scholarship
33:05
sports eligibility bill, which he was pretty confident. You know that the delegates
33:10
would not defeat the entire bill just to defeat his amendment. And because it
33:16
was sending the waning hours or the last day, it was either or choice
33:21
here for the House of Delegates when it came over. You either had to
33:22
defeat the whole bill because there was no way we could strip it out.
33:25
Because they don't, one had to go back to the Senate. Then the
33:28
whole bill dies. And I think most delegates knew that. So that was
33:30
the conundrum that most of my fellow delegates were in that day, and says
33:35
some of them went ahead and basically held their nose and hit the green button
33:37
and put this through. And I don't think into their credit. I don't
33:42
think anybody I said at that point it was hypothetical. I'm not sure anybody
33:45
realized just how bad this was going to be. But here we are,
33:49
and here's somebody in your background. I mentioned that you're a delegate, but
33:51
but you're also a longtime educator too, and so had a coach, and
33:54
so so you got a little bit more skin in the game, a little
33:57
bit more experience, and what maybe some of your fellow legislators happened right right,
34:00
I've you know, I've been at this for across three decades and uh,
34:04
probably longer than I'd like to admit that I am. But I've been
34:07
around it, and uh, you see, you know this, and and
34:10
I've seen the best of things happen and people bring out in sports, and
34:15
given the right environment circumstance, you can see the worst brought out in people.
34:20
And that's what we're seeing right now. I think, you know,
34:22
we set up an environment whereby we're bringing out the worst in people in teams.
34:28
So explain exactly what the rule was before as far as because transfers have
34:34
always gone on in West Virginia and across the country, I mean people,
34:37
and there's always been a certain amount of quote unquote recruiting that's gone on.
34:42
I mean, I'm not gonna I'm I'm Promogan County. We kind of invented
34:45
it, you know, down there. So but this is a totally different
34:49
animal. Delegate, Explain what is happening. Explain what the rule was before
34:53
and what it is now. Well, it's a perfect storm I think situation
34:57
we're in right now because before you know, as you say, there was
35:00
there are always people trying to manipulate the uh the rules and eligibility and uh
35:06
you know, the territories and schools that they went in, and they were
35:07
moving around and changing addresses and whatever it be to try to you know,
35:12
uh, get where they think they could have an advantage where a team or
35:15
school could have an advantage. But uh, it was hard to do even
35:19
at that. So what we've done now though, it is just said,
35:21
hey, it's legal. It's just open the floodgates and anybody can go where
35:24
they want to go, when they want to go, and and that has
35:29
encouraged it. And then on top of that, you've got this pressure from
35:31
on top from the college level with the nil you gotta you gotta think that
35:37
when a sophomore a junior in high school can look at and say, hey,
35:40
you know, if I can put up some gaudy numbers on Friday night
35:45
and do it at a at a school that's in a media market where it's
35:49
going to get attention, Yeah, if I can, if I can put
35:51
up six touchdowns for example, you know who knows if Ohio State didn't knocking
35:54
on my door next week saying, hey, look, you know if you
35:57
go ahead and commit here in verbal here, you know, you look at
35:59
a million dollars in I L deal coming out of high school. That's hard
36:02
to ignore. And you can't that's the last week on another interview. You
36:07
can't blame the kids. You can't blame the parents in this case for doing
36:10
what they think is in the best interest to their you know, their child
36:14
or their their family. So well, you and I talked the last time
36:17
you were on the show about that about it. You know, a kid
36:20
maybe that doesn't have the best grades in the world, and this is the
36:22
only chance to hear she's going to get to go to college, is on
36:25
an athletic scholarship, and and and so that's they want to excel. Parents
36:30
naturally want their pair, their their kids to do better than they did and
36:34
to be able to compete at the next level or to excel in whatever they
36:37
did. And and I look at a school, and I'm not picking on
36:40
Saint Alban's High School, but I have some experience with Saint Alban's High School
36:44
because in another company I worked with, we carry their ball games, and
36:45
you know Saint Alban's has not had a win. This is no disrespect towards
36:50
the school at all or the coaches. They haven't had a winning culture in
36:52
football in years at Saint Alban's High School. And I'm just using that as
36:57
an example. If you've got a young baseball well, I was gonna say,
37:00
I said football, because you know they've had some success in some other
37:02
sports too, but I'm talking about just football. They haven't had a whole
37:06
lot of them and a winning culture there. And so I mean, if
37:08
you're a kid and you've got any kind of ability, do you and you
37:12
could fit? There's other schools across the state. You know, get not
37:15
picking on Saint Albits, but if you're a kid and you've got some kind
37:16
of ability, do you want to I hate to use the term waste your
37:22
time, but the language in a two and eight season? Or do you
37:24
want to go somewhere where you can be competitive and get eyes on you from
37:28
a WVU Marshall whatever. And this is an argument. It's made by a
37:31
lot of people with some validity, but I would counter with that, as
37:35
I said, I've been around this business, and I've been coaching. I've
37:37
been in sports media, so covering the ends of it, working with colleges
37:42
and universities as well. And if you're good, if you've got the talents
37:45
and your bfs, bigger, faster, stronger, they're going to find you.
37:50
Go back to Kurt Warner, didn't even have the internet any Keeme out
37:52
of the southern coal fields that exis high school but it doesn't even exist anymore,
37:58
and it goes onto Penn State and the field. If you're good,
38:00
they're going to find you. You do not need to be crossing multiple school
38:05
districts to go somewhere to think that, you know. To me, it's
38:08
it's a fool's goal. I mean, you're after something in uh, you
38:13
know. But it's easy to understand how parents can get caught up in a
38:15
look at the travel sports, the club sports environment. It's all about individuals.
38:22
It's not about schools. It's not about team and us. It's about
38:25
me and myself. It seems if we create an environment in the scholastic environment,
38:30
which was never that. It was about the school, which about the
38:34
community. Now we've entered in a thing, well, it's about you know,
38:37
how far can I go? Well? And again, I've always said,
38:42
uh, Dana, that the school is the centerpiece of a of a
38:45
community, especially when you get into smaller areas. I mean, you know,
38:51
it's areas that only have one or two schools, you know, in
38:53
the county, or maybe sometimes they just have a county high school. And
38:57
and I always take it from this perspective. You know, you take a
39:00
that has done all the right things in a Buddy League system or Little League
39:04
baseball or whatever the case is, and they work their way up in the
39:06
if you you practice. I remember as a kid going and watching high school
39:09
sports and thinking, you know, in the coaches saying no, if you
39:13
work hard, you can put on that helmet or you can put on that
39:15
basketball jersey something. Well they didn't say that to me because I sucked as
39:17
an athlete, but I mean if I were a good athlete, they would
39:20
have. And then you work your way up and okay, now it's my
39:23
junior, my senior year at fill in blank High School, and I'm going
39:28
to have the opportunity. But oh no, here comes a kid transferring in
39:30
from you know, two counties away. There is collateral damage when somebody makes
39:36
a transfer. Absolutely, both as when I say, there's no winners here.
39:38
Even the schools that appear to be winning, they're losing because you have
39:43
these situations happening within the community and that creates division and resentments and and trust
39:50
me, I've gotten calls of her from parents from these schools where it said,
39:53
hey, you know, my child is now having a platoon or share
39:55
time and where they would have been their opportunity. And so you know,
39:59
we're creating an environment of division and resentment and animosity amongst communities, within communities.
40:05
That's not who we are as West Virginia. You know, we pull
40:07
together, we come together in crisis. This is not good. And when
40:12
you go as I did Saturday morning on social media, because that's what that's
40:15
where we live now, you know, you have to go on the X
40:19
or on Facebook or Instagram or whatever, and you look at the comments.
40:22
I mean, and people a lot of times that don't have a kid at
40:25
the school, or they don't do they weren't actually at the game themselves,
40:29
and they just see a score and then it becomes this big argument, which
40:34
is what most of Saturday into the weekend Sunday was was people saying, well,
40:38
how in the world it's bad sportsmanship for you to score eighty six points
40:43
in a high school football game. But then the other side, the other
40:45
side comes up, so well, we pulled our starters and we had ninth
40:47
graders and you know, playing against here. So you get a kid that
40:52
maybe didn't get to play a lot and he's got the ball on the two
40:53
yard line, do you expect him to kneel and not try to score?
40:57
I mean, I say, there are no winners here because even the winners
41:00
are put in a bad situation. And exactly exactly, and you know even
41:04
more so, don't get in We're getting into the mental psyche. Those kids
41:07
that got beat ninety five to six or whatever on Friday night, I have
41:09
to get up and go to school on Monday morning and walk the hallways.
41:14
I've even had reports of situations for those kids. Uh, there's been I'm
41:19
going to say this lightly, but mental distress amongst those kids. That we've
41:22
got some schools that may not finish the season. Kids just say hey,
41:27
you know, at what point do you just give it up? And as
41:30
we got that, and then on top of that, you talked about the
41:31
rural schools, you've got kids jumping in vehicles, and having to drive themselves
41:36
across county lines to go to a school where that uh, because you used
41:39
to actually have to live there, you actually had to you had to move
41:43
to a community. And at what point does that kid hit an icy road
41:46
or there's you know, there's a head on collision or something, and now
41:50
we've got loss of life. Yeah, so how do we fix them?
41:52
What do you plan to do? I mean, if this is on you,
41:55
it's not because you were one of the vocal upponents beginning. I am
42:00
legislature. You gonna and it was my job to try to convince, you
42:01
know, my fellow delegates to knock this down. I mean to the credit,
42:06
you know, from a political standpoint, the Senate did what it did,
42:09
and kudos to this particular Senate for making the maneuvers that he did.
42:15
But I don't even think he realized the implications of what was you know,
42:20
going to come down to Pike. So what are we going to see in
42:22
the next session? So well, yeah, absolutely, I think the move
42:24
is on. I've talked to the Speaker last night, I've talked to the
42:27
governor. I think there's broad sentiment and I'll be talking my fellow delegates we're
42:31
coming into interims this coming weekend. We can't do anything then. But my
42:37
mission, my goal was to try to get a bill together that we could
42:39
talk to the governor to put on a call during interims as a special session
42:45
bill when costs taxpayers anything. We're already there, and pipe this through real
42:50
quick and get it on his desk and get it through reversed sooner than later,
42:52
because if we wait and go through winter sports and in spring old scholastic
42:57
gear, it's going to be a lot of bloodletting. And uh, now
43:00
we've got a problem that the House Chamber is torn up, you know for
43:06
renovations. We can't meet over there for at least to talk to the Speaker
43:09
yesterday, and it's going to be into i know, renovations at least till
43:15
November. So I don't know that we may get into January before we can
43:20
even deal with this. Okay, So as you know, because you are
43:23
a delegate, by the way, are you running for re election? Yes,
43:27
yes, it will okay, Okay, So the House members are up
43:30
next year, do you worry that many of them don't want to get involved
43:34
in this because you know there's an unwritten rule Dana. As you know that
43:37
you don't really tackle anything big in an election year, and this does have
43:42
controversy. Yeah, I mean there are people that that that loved this what
43:46
has been pastor there their parents, and there are others that that love this
43:50
transfer rule. Well, they're a very small minority. I'm gonna tell you
43:52
it's about at least one of my timelines, it's about ninety five to five.
43:55
That's because you have better friends than I. And and I'll say this,
44:00
you know, as a as representatives, you know, we're we are
44:04
elected to lead represent our constituents. And if you look at it, most
44:07
every delegate in that House of Duggets or one hundred of us represent a school
44:10
like I represent system Ville High School and part of South Charleston. I'm there,
44:15
you know, to take care of those schools. And and as you
44:19
just said it earlier, those schools or the cornerstones, there's centerpiece of that
44:22
community. They are microconstums. They reflect who those communities are and vice versa.
44:28
And people take it serious. And that's why, you know, you
44:30
want to why are people so up in arms about this situation more so than
44:34
a DHHR or a jobs bill or anything else out there because this hits home.
44:39
This is about who we are as a people, and we've got a
44:44
problem. And I and I would you know, warm a costume a fellow
44:46
representatives that you know, you get on board where it's going to be problems
44:51
because this is a political albatross. It is indeed not like Dana Ferrell.
44:54
It's always a pleasure to have you on the show man. We'll talk again
44:58
soon. All right, Thank you, possibly the nicest down the legislature.
45:00
You're You're way too nice to be there, you know that, right.
45:02
I don't know about that. I get kicked around of it. It's okay.
45:06
Somebody has to keep the dog. That's all right. What do you
45:07
have a wife for that? Right? They can kick her out. All
45:10
right, we gotta go. We'll take a break, a delegate. I

47:52
mistake in the West Virginia polling for the Republican nomination for governor. That poll
47:57
released on Friday. Rex Repass did the poll for Research America. The original
48:00
polling data had twenty three percent of responded saying that they were supporting Attorney General
48:05
Patrick Morrissey for governor. In reality, that number was closer to twenty seven
48:09
percent for Morrissey. The mistake doesn't change, though, Who's in the leads.
48:13
Delia Moore Capitau, who you heard from earlier. He's at thirty two
48:16
percent. Chris Miller came in at nine percent, and Secretary of State Mic
48:20
Warner at seven percent, but twenty six are still undecided. Keep that in
48:23
mind. So the rankings are now Capita followed by Morrissey, then undecided,
48:29
and then Miller and Warner in that order. To explain how the mistake happened,
48:34
go back and listen to Hoppy yesterday. Also, Brad has a story
48:37
posted about at wv metronews dot com. Patrick Morrissey took it as an opportunity
48:40
for the second time in a week, the slam Metro News. And again,
48:44
as I said earlier in the show, for those who say I had
48:47
text people saying, well, he was really slamming. He was slamming the
48:50
polling and not Metro News. Well he explained that yesterday and he's definitely now
48:54
slamming the company. Rita's statements part of brad storywv metronews dot com. Wonder
49:00
if I wonder if Morrissey would have called it fake news had the polling showed
49:02
he was out in front. I think you know the answer to that,
49:07
only fake news If you don't like what's being reported, and but you have
49:09
to also remember polling is just a moment in time. If you go back
49:15
to around twenty fifteen, around this time, polls for the twenty sixteen president
49:20
presidential election showed that Hillary Clinton and Jeff Bush were in the league. So
49:24
thanks change over time. This is not the be all end all. It's
49:28
uh just kind of where we are. Got a lot of texts to get
49:30
to. Tex says we need to shut down this soup and transfer rule in
49:32
West Virginia and then we need to follow up by creating a movement to start
49:36
the ball on shutting down the college sports transfer portal. It is bad for
49:40
everyone, tex says Dave Senator Weld sentor Ryan Weld's transfer bill has harmed small
49:46
town schools that are hemorrhageine students every year. Uh, Texas, why continue
49:54
to let Republicans more capital? Included a lie about the West Virginia budgets.
49:59
Surplus one point to two five billion came directly from the federal government. Arrests
50:02
came from increased cold and gas servants because of increased prices and record production levels
50:07
under President Biden. These facts make you cry or deny mega but they remain
50:10
facts. Just ask West Virginia Revenue Secretary Dave Hardy, Texas. Once the
50:15
general public realizes Ryan Weld is responsible for the transfer a rule, his chances
50:20
are gone of obtaining a statewide office as a texture. Texture says, how
50:27
come no one in the legislature is listening to the seven thousand children in foster
50:30
care in the state. It's one thing to protect the unborn. It is
50:34
another, actually, to care for children when they grow up. Walk the
50:37
walk, just talk the talk, Texas. Imagine if we talked to much
50:42
about educating our kids as we do. Football texts says the high school transfer
50:52
rule, No surprise there. The Republican supermajority messed up high school sports competition.
50:58
Everything they touched turns to poop. Can you say poop on the air?
51:01
I think I just did. Republican policy says the texture is one that
51:05
chooses tens of millions of dollars of tax revenue from a pipeline, completely rejects
51:08
the hundreds of millions of dollars tax revenue plus to downstream economic effects of legal
51:13
cannabis, and that Republican social policies We'll keep West Virginia in the early twentieth
51:16
century. Republicans like to swim upstream, Texture, says Patrick, isn't the
51:22
only one attacking Metro News over the pole. Mike Warner send out an email
51:25
about its slamming the poll as well. I did not know that. I
51:29
didn't get the email. Did not get the email. All right, we
51:32
gotta go remember our WWU Medicine Children's Cares for Kids. Radiothon continues texts call
51:39
