2:29
and Ryan, we went up a couple of state senators, not one,
2:30
but two state senators on the show to day, Vince Deeds and Rupee Phillips,
2:36
And the two of these guys are pretty serious about this. And in
2:40
the wake of the killing of the state trooper a Mingo County a couple of
2:45
weeks ago, Senator Phillip specifically, and he's brought this up well before this
2:50
particular event, is advocating for capital punishment for anyone who would take the life
2:55
of any first responder, be it a law enforcement or EMT or firefighter whatever.
3:01
We're gonna talk to both of those senators about that coming up a little
3:04
bit later on, plus one of the Trump indictment. Some big happenings,
3:07
and this is actually just kind of broken the last twelve to twenty four hours
3:10
as it pertains to the state school board in West Virginia, particularly the state
3:15
Superintendent of Schools. We're gonna get into that a little bit later on,
3:19
plus your calls and text or welcome, but I want to welcome and now
3:22
Doug Suvaleti of the West virg Universual Academy. Doug, good morning, How
3:23
are you, sir? I'm doing very well. Thanks, Dave. Had
3:27
a lot to get to before I got to you, but I'm gonna give
3:29
you time. Man, you're all good. Good. Let's talk about First
3:31
of all, give us your title again, and you're with the Western Universual
3:34
Academy. Give us your time. You've been on the show. We figured
3:36
if this is your third time you've been on, give us your title again.
3:38
Correct, I'm the executive director for this. You're the big guy.
3:42
Suppose so supposedly the big guy. Let's talk about in the latest developments with
3:46
the Virtual Academy, just what's going on. To get some exciting news,
3:51
we do to start with the big news we about two weeks ago, we
3:54
signed an MU with Pierre Pont Community and Technical College, which is pretty awesome
4:00
because they're going to be able to expand their network beyond just their their regular
4:03
service region and they will have access to our students, which are located in
4:09
all fifty five counties. And essentially what that does is it opens the door
4:13
for students across the state to have access to collegiate level classes where they can
4:19
begin taking dual credit classes and start earning college credit towards an associate's degree.
4:26
And I'm sure, am sure a lot of work had to go into that
4:29
and to make that the sort of thing happen, because that's that's actually a
4:31
very growing college campus up there. Well you know, in general, I
4:35
mean the college itself is growing great. I've had people from the college on
4:39
the show before. That's a great partnership for you guys. It's fantastic.
4:43
Hats off to doctor Jony Gray, she is leading up the one Walk to
4:46
Degree program, and thanks to doctor Nelson for allowing this partnership to take place.
4:54
So I think the excitement is on both sides. I think there is
4:59
equally excited to partner with us as we were with them. What else is
5:01
going on? I mean, you guys have had just one big announcement after
5:03
another. You blow me up with your press releases, and that's all good
5:06
stuff. I'm happy about that. The other big thing, and this was
5:11
just yesterday. I don't know if you saw any coverage of the Golden Horseshoe.
5:15
Actually we have coverage on the website WV metro news dot com about it.
5:17
Yeah, fantastic. Well, I'm very proud. They grouped the charter
5:23
schools together and they selected three winners, and we had two of the winners
5:29
for the Golden Horseshoe. Oh that's good stuff. Yeah, it's fantastic.
5:32
It's the it's the first virtual winners in the Golden Horseshoe existence, because there's
5:39
never been a virtual school. So we have two winners from our school that
5:44
represented the first virtual winners in the state. And that's that's definitely groundbreaking.
5:48
I mean, that's groundbreaking not only for West Virginia, but for similar programs
5:54
throughout the country because just about every state has something similar to a Golden Horsehoe.
5:57
It's not called that, but I mean to have that come from a
6:00
virtual school, that's that's pretty cool. Yes. Now, just to remind
6:03
you, we did have to bring the kids in two tests because there isn't
6:08
a true virtual option for scoring purpose. Now I get that, um,
6:11
but kids do leave the house by the way we want to. People think
6:14
that people walcked away. They actually get out, you know, and things
6:15
of that nature. They do absolutely. Well, that's that's really good.
6:19
I remember back, going back one hundred years ago when I when I was
6:24
in eighth grade and what a big deal the Golden Horseshoe was. And as
6:28
I said, there are programs similar similar to this in other states, and
6:31
I would think that's going to get virtual schools across the country and give them
6:34
a little kick in the back side to say, hey, we need to
6:36
do this in our states. Well, I think they're they're doing it.
6:40
I just think we get to have the lucky statement saying, well, we
6:45
had two winners and obviously we're very competitive, so next year we're shooting for
6:48
all three. Well, I mean that's the goals. That's and I understand
6:53
that there's another partnership that you guys are working. Guys have something going on
6:57
in Putnam County. Well, so K twelve is the company that we're partnered
7:01
with they have lots of lots of options for families and just I mean,
7:06
if anyone's interested, Learning Solutions provides a lot of completely asynchronous work they can
7:12
do you know, piecemeal classes and in the company as a whole actually has
7:16
partnerships with Upster County, Berkeley County, Putnam County, They've got something going
7:21
on in Jackson County. So again, we have access to a whole wealth
7:26
of resources even outside of just West Virginia Virtual Academy, because we're connected with
7:31
such a nationwide company. Why are these virtual academies becoming so popular across America
7:36
right now? Especially let's just focus on West Virginia. Why are why are
7:40
they so popular here now? In your opinion, I think there's a need.
7:43
I think there are students across the state who have been asking for some
7:48
sort of virtual option for whatever the reason is, I don't know. I
7:53
mean, it could be health issues, it could be they're more interested and
7:57
pursuing that that post secondary education that they can get through us. Whatever it
8:03
may be, we're seeing an increase in enrollment and interest and it's just needed.
8:07
It's needed in West Virginia and in every state. Somebody a parent is
8:11
listening right now, our parent or grandparent or somebody and they say, you
8:15
know, I'm interested in and learning more about this program, possibly getting my
8:18
child and my family member signed up for this exactly to take us to the
8:22
process. What is the process, like, Doug, I think it just
8:26
depends on where you want to start. We're obviously very personable. You can
8:30
call the office. It's three zero four eight zero seven nine three seven zero.
8:35
We're happy to talk to you. There is an application process and they
8:39
can link to it at WFVVA dot K twelve dot com. They can find
8:43
us on our all the handles at wv Virtual Academy, Facebook, YouTube,
8:48
Instagram and essentially there. It's just paperwork. It's just like if you wanted
8:52
to enroll your kid coming from out of state, you go to the board
8:56
office. Well, we act as the office. You provide US immunization records
9:03
address, and we go through the process and we get you enrolled. It's
9:07
all of the same or at least a lot of the same things that you
9:11
what as you said, I if your school, if your kid is transferring
9:13
to a different school, your kids coming in from bund the state. It's
9:16
it's not that dissimilar. I mean, it's it's very similar. It is.
9:20
We're a public school. The big thing that I think separates us,
9:22
though, is people choose to come to us, and we don't take that
9:26
fact lightly. We view our families as customers and so we're constantly looking at
9:33
providing them customer service, which changes the way that you develop lessons. That
9:39
changes the way that you interact with learning coaches and students because they don't have
9:43
to come to us, that they've made a choice, and so we treat
9:48
them differently. And I think that shows with the amount of students that have
9:50
chosen to come back to us next year. About eighty five percent of our
9:54
current kids have said I definitely want to come back. So you got the
9:58
go Horseshoe or you got a couple of kids in the Golden Horseshoe. What
10:03
other things would you like to look at for the future? I mean,
10:05
and as far as your kids, your students go, anything else on the
10:09
radar, Well, we'd love to figure out how to feed kids, you
10:13
know, as a virtual school. That's definitely something that we need to figure
10:18
out because we have lots of hungry kids throughout the state. We're adding eleventh
10:22
graders next year. If you'll remember, we're only K through ten, So
10:24
next year we're gonna have to figure out how to administer you know, the
10:28
SAT to kids, and so that's something that we don't have any experience with,
10:33
and just just overall figuring out what families need and start tailoring even more
10:39
to the local communities meeting their needs. We're talking with Doug si Valetti with
10:43
the Western Univirtual Academy. Okay, so what's the biggest misconception? As I
10:48
said, this has been the third time that you've been on the show,
10:50
and I know that you're out at about you and your folks throughout the communities
10:54
and talking. What's the biggest misconception people have about virtual schools? Well,
10:58
I think the tooth thing is we're often compared to homeschool, and I try
11:03
to correct them and say, this is school at home that they are still
11:07
required to attend classes, so it is a little bit different than just a
11:11
traditional homeschool. The other thing is people will in conversations not understand that we
11:18
are a public school, and I try to make sure that I really emphasize
11:22
that because by stating that, I'm essentially saying we have the same regulations that
11:30
we have to follow. I just submitted yesterday all of our state Department of
11:35
Ed end of your reports, we have end of your enrollment, we have
11:39
end of your Special education reports. We have to do all of them.
11:41
Same thing. We have to test kids for the Golden Horseshoe. So as
11:45
a public school, we're bound by the same requirements. And so those are
11:50
probably the two biggest misconceptions we have. Numbers are we looking at in West
11:52
Virginia now for your students for your enrollment? Well, yesterday I think,
12:01
well, let me say this, I am anticipating we started the year with
12:05
a little over four hundred was our official count. I'm anticipating will be closer
12:11
to seven hundred moving into the twenty three twenty four school year. So I
12:15
think we're going to see some really positive growth. Well, and I think
12:18
sometimes there may have been there's kind of a with parents, and which is
12:20
understandable, kind of a wait and see attitude. You know, maybe they
12:24
wanted to kind of sit back and just see talk to family, friends,
12:26
other ones that have done it, to see, well, how did they
12:28
do? And before I decided to make the leap with my child, well,
12:31
and I think the word of mouth is definitely really important. And I
12:35
think once people realize all of the extra effort that we go through. You
12:41
know, when we administered the general Summit of Assessment, we went out and
12:45
did individual test. We met a family in Madison, down in Boone count
12:48
we met a family up in Wheeling. We did all of these one off
12:52
tests to chase the one kid. You know, it's a small thing,
12:56
but we worked with Mark Swiger. I don't know if you've ever heard of
12:58
any Energy Express I have. Yeah, Okay, well again, people wouldn't
13:03
think that a virtual school is going to try to provide those opportunities, but
13:05
we did, and so we have we have at least one kid that I
13:09
know of that is going to go to Energy Express unless it changed the Energy
13:13
Express program at least back in the day, because I know it's very popular
13:18
in Logan County, you know where I'm from, and uh And it was
13:20
basically a summer program and it gave a lot of younger adults, I mean
13:24
like college kids an opportunity to come in and kind of teach them and mentor
13:28
the kids. A lot went into that. Yeah, so it's a summer
13:31
reading program that also provides you know, food for the kids, and so
13:35
again those are the small things that I think once families realize we're still connecting
13:39
with these groups and providing these opportunities, they're going to realize we do get
13:43
out in person, as you stated earlier. Yeah, we do have that
13:46
interaction. You do. You do leave the basement. So we do leave
13:48
the basement, and we are still providing lots of rich activities for the kids
13:54
outside of what we offer. We're making those connections with state agencies and making
14:00
those things happen. Dougsa bloody with the Western Univisual Academy. Give us the

17:37
have a legislator on the show, as we do frequently, but today we
17:41
have two at one time. I want to welcome in Senator Rupey Phillips and
17:45
stay Senator Vince Deeds. Good morning, gentlemen. How are you. Good
17:48
morning, Dave, How are you doing. I am doing fine, mister
17:51
d A pleasure to have you on the show as well. Senator Phillipson will
17:56
start with you. The state is still recovering from the tragic killing of State
18:03
Trooper Corey Maynard less than two weeks ago Mingo County. And while we are
18:08
going to talk about this morning, Senator Phillips, you have brought up in
18:11
the past well before this tragic death of the trooper, and that is that
18:18
good old capital punishment for anyone who would take the life of not only an
18:22
officer in the line of duty, but any emergency services worker. Talk about
18:27
your thoughts on that, Senator Phillips, Well, day, First of all,
18:30
I've been a supporter of capital punishment since when I was in the House
18:33
of Delegates, but in twenty twenty one, my first year in the Senate,
18:40
I introduced the bill. I think it was SP two five one,
18:42
the photo when Katy Johnson bill and you know David's it's just sensels that we
18:49
put our first responders in danger and the people basically get a slap on the
18:56
hand. You know, I'm a form believer, an eye for an eye,
19:00
and you know it's it's time to make a move on it. Um.
19:04
I mean, this is a cut dry case. Casey Kathy Johnson's was
19:08
a cut dry case. We need to just move forward with it, and
19:12
I think we have support in the House and the Senate, so we just
19:18
got to get leadership and the governor to Hopefully i'd love to see it on
19:22
special session. Hopefully we have one coming up, maybe in August. I'd
19:26
love to see it on there, and I'd love to see the public reach
19:30
out to the Governor's office and to both chambers and say hey, guys,
19:33
let's let's do it. Senator Dean's your thought on that well, and thank
19:38
you again for having us. But I really believe this is an issue that
19:42
we need to have a conversation about, in a discussion and see if we
19:48
need to enact the legislation that reflects the will of the citizens of West Virginia,
19:52
because overall, you know, we are the Mountain State, and we
19:56
are mountaineers, and we believe in freedom. And first responders they go to
20:02
places where we fear to go, and they do heroic deeds that we cannot
20:06
do, and they are the thin line that guarantees the law in order in
20:10
our state. And so you know, anytime we have an attack against the
20:15
law enforcement officer or a first responder, a first responder as in uniform or
20:19
responding to a lawful call, it's not only attack against that individual, it's
20:27
an attack against our society, in our way of life here in the Mountain
20:32
State. And I think it's really interesting for both of you. And again
20:34
we're talking with Senator Rupey Phillips and Senator of Vinceted Innsteeds here on five of
20:38
any lives. I think it's I think we're both to be complimented for looking
20:42
into this, in my opinion, but also that you're not limiting it,
20:45
as you said, Senator Phillips, to just police officers. You're talking about
20:48
any first responder, because you are right, Senator Deeds. These first responders
20:53
go into situations that are unheard of for the average citizens. I mean,
21:00
what they what they go into? Now, your comments, yeah, our
21:07
comments are that's exactly right. I mean, we we asked them. I
21:12
talked to first responders every day, just like Senator Phillips does, and they
21:18
go into situations that we you know, the general public has no idea of
21:22
what we ask of. Man, they really don't. I mean and and
21:25
uh and and I would encourage everyone to reach out to their local first responders
21:30
or volunteer fire departments or EMS crews, the the law enforcement officers and say,
21:36
hey, tell me about your day, and it would have really awakened
21:41
them to the certain stances that we ask of these young men and women.
21:45
And with the drug scourge, gentleman, the way it is now, you
21:48
know, you don't know exactly what it is that these first responders, be
21:52
a law enforcement EMTs or whatever. You don't know what they what a person
21:56
that is strung out on on drugs is going to do. And there's so
22:00
many different drugs out there. I mean, I've got horror stories from people
22:04
talking to not as I said, not only police officers, but also our
22:08
emergency crews that are out there that talk about, you know, five to
22:12
ten people to to take down a one hundred and fifty pound guy or female
22:17
when they're high on something considerative philips. Yep. You know, Dave,
22:21
I was sold years ago by one of my buddies in law enforcement that that
22:25
you know, with the drugs of today, what you just said, they're
22:29
they're monsters and and you know you basically got to shoot them between the eyes
22:33
to get them just the stock. And you know, and they're they're a
22:37
danger to themselves, They're they're a danger to society. Um. You know,
22:41
Dave I wanted to hit back on the processions for Core remainerd um.
22:48
I was talking to one of my trooper buddies and and he said, you
22:52
know, they deal with scumbags every day and coming up to four Lane through
22:56
Wimson and down through Logan in the Chapmanville. They were just humbled by seeing
23:03
the support of law enforcement, you know, from from the citizens. I
23:07
mean, the full lanes was just polluted with people out there just paying respect
23:11
to Corey and until law enforcement. And to see all the different law enforcements
23:17
from from different counties and different states, and I mean it was just I
23:21
mean it was it was a psychasy and I was proud of that to went
23:26
to the funeral and and and stood by the four lane and paid my respect.
23:30
Um, but you know, it's it's time we got we got to
23:33
get movement on this, Dave and and stop it. It's it's senseless.
23:37
We don't need to lose another law enforcement. Uh, to put anybody as
23:41
a force first responder in any type of danger that that they're not comfortable,
23:47
we need they need protection. Bottom line, I would agree. Five.
23:51
And it was presented in part by Travis Willard, Dreadward June's financial advisor.
23:55
Just off the Tames Valley accent and learn how Travis and the team can help
23:57
you reach your financial goals. Is that Edward Jones dot Comber called Travis Willard
24:00
to day three or four, three ninety seven fifty five fifty three three or
24:03
four three nine seven fifty five fifty three for your Edward Jones Financial Advisor,
24:07
Travis Willard, Edward Jones Member SIPC. Senator Phillips, you and I talked
24:11
about this yesterday, and neither of us nor Senator Deeds are sociologists or psychologists.
24:18
But you see things like this, Senator Phillips, and I'm gonna start
24:21
with you and then we'll get to evince to away in on it as well.
24:23
You see things like this, Senator as symptoms of a much larger problem,
24:30
a lack of respect, as you called it. Address that well,
24:33
you know, Dave, I mean, you've got kids that don't respect their
24:38
teachers, they don't respect law enforcement, they don't respect their parents, they
24:41
don't respect their grandparents. And you know, I'm a believer bringing paddling back
24:48
to school. I mean participation trophies, do away with them. I mean,
24:52
not everybody's going to be a winner, but you've got to work to
24:56
be a winner. And I mean kids. We got to start with the
25:00
kids and build our foundation back up to where they're strong and and you know,
25:04
I mean where they're going to be a productive citizen and respect people and
25:08
so forth. But we we have to get society to come around and and
25:15
just quit handing everything out and and you know, let people earn it.
25:21
You know, if you win a ball game, you win a ball game,
25:23
you get the trophy. Um. You know, if you go to
25:26
work, you get a pay day, and you know, and you know,
25:30
I had a few people. I don't normally go into a place saying
25:33
who I am. And anyway, someone figured out who I was there a
25:37
few weeks ago and he said, I need to talk to you. And
25:41
I said, what's that And he said roads. I said, by the
25:44
state roads out there working their buts off every day. But you know,
25:47
trying to hire people as impossible. Hey, so that's another thing I need
25:49
to talk to you. We need to lower our work standards. And you
25:52
know, Dave I said that to highways and they sort of laugh a little
25:56
bit. They said, if they can pass a drug tam and breathe,
26:03
we'll hire them. You know. But but I don't know where society is
26:07
going. But as a legislator and a parent of a thirteen year old,
26:11
um, we've got to get things turned around. And you know, if
26:15
it's bringing paddling back, I'm all for it gets respect to the parents and
26:19
the grandparents, and the teachers, and teachers deserve a lot of respects,
26:23
and law enforcement hands down the reserves all of the respects. Senator Dean's your
26:29
thoughts. My thoughts are this. You know, I grew up on a
26:33
dairy farm. You know, I believe in family and the Christian way of
26:37
life, the Mountaineer way of life, and that that is that starts at
26:41
a young age. It really does. By the time law enforcements and first
26:47
responders start dealing with adults eighteen and older, there's been a lot of other
26:52
factors that have weighed in already in that person's life. And so we need
26:56
to start early. And that starts with our families. Have a proper family
27:00
structure and acceptance of responsibility and accountability with all of our young people. I
27:07
mean, this day and age, it seems like everybody as soon as they
27:11
get caught into something doing something wrong, they try to blame everybody else.
27:17
Well, sometimes we just mess up in life. That's okay, that's part
27:21
of growing up. But but how we how we grow up is we accept
27:25
responsibility and we're held accountable, and that needs to start at a really young
27:30
man. Senator Deeds, would you go along with what Senator Phillip said about
27:33
bringing corporal punishment back into schools. Is that something that you would support.
27:38
I believe it needs to be a discussion that we that we have it.
27:42
You know, now you know what we have is you know, young people
27:48
are are suspended, but they they don't feel any punishment out of that.
27:52
They just say, oh yeah, they take it as being out of school
27:56
a day or two. So I believe we need to have that that that
28:03
that opportunity to implement true punishment whenever you commit a true violation of the law
28:11
and order. Senators, let's before we let you go, uh, let's
28:15
get back to the whole just of the conversation. Reason for having you on,
28:18
uh, and that is to bring back or to have allow capital punishment
28:23
for anyone who kills an emergency officer. What are you rupe? You said
28:27
that it that it may be brought up in a special session, or at
28:30
least you'd like for it to. What are the realistic what are the realistic
28:33
chances of that happening in your opinion? Well, you know, Dave,
28:37
I believe if if the first responders out there would again you reach out to
28:42
the Governor's office, to the President of the Tenant and Speaker of the House
28:48
UM and start leaving the method. Just start talking to your local legislators UM
28:56
to say, hey, we want to see this. I think if the
28:59
public will step up and speak, I think you could possibly see it on
29:03
the agenda when we go into special session. Well, gentlemen, we'll leave
29:07
it there. I know you're both very busy with your jobs, because you
29:11
know, most of you folks do have jobs outside of being legislators, sometimes
29:15
more than one. I appreciate you guys both for joining the stone. We'll
29:19
talk again soon. Thanks a lot. Thank the Senators Vince Deeds and Rupy

34:47
got a ton of text to get to it. I'm going to get to
34:50
them here in just a couple of moments on something that Senator Phillips and Senator
34:52
Deed said about about respect. We got a lack of it, and it
35:00
begins at home. And if you I you know, I've I talk on
35:04
the radio, and i have other job interest. I'm not in the classroom,
35:07
but I have a lot of friends that are, and I have friends
35:12
that have left the classroom as teachers. And one of the reasons, and
35:15
there are a variety we know about the low pay and so on and so
35:19
forth, but one of the reasons that people have talked to me about leaving
35:24
the public education system is because of the lack of discipline and the lack of
35:30
respect that goes on. There was a time and here again you know,
35:37
I'm that old guy. I'm that old guy, you know, screaming on
35:39
the front lawn. Get off my lawn. But there was a time when
35:43
when both not only students but also parents had respect for teachers. You know,
35:49
if I got in troubled in school in the nineteen seventies and eighties,
35:52
and I went home and I told my parents, well, mister so and
35:55
so or mister so and so is picking on me, my parents would have
36:00
just been like, well, what did you do? They didn't believe me
36:02
because I'm a kid and didn't deserve to be believed. You know, you
36:06
believe the adults first until proven otherwise. It just we got away from all
36:10
that. And I don't know how you put the ketchup back in the bottle,
36:14
as they say, because it's a problem, and social media has only
36:17
made it worse. I mean now, now, now, not only does
36:21
everybody have an opinion, but they're going to scream at you trying to get
36:24
you to believe their opinion. I don't know where we go tech says of
36:30
Dave. I support capital punishment, but I support it equally not putting first
36:35
responders on a different level. Any murderer should face the same possible consequences.
36:39
That's that's a good that's a good point. I get that TECH says.
36:45
It's telling how Christians and conservatives think physical abuse is a solution for issues.
36:50
I knew as soon as Senator Phillips said that about bringing back he's adamant about
36:55
this. I talked to him, as I said, Senator Phillips and I
36:58
literally grew up together, and I talked to him yesterday about this at length.
37:02
He is adamant about bringing corporal punishment back into schools. I think he
37:07
may be fighting a losing battle there, because I mean that actually went out
37:10
of school back when I was in school. I certainly got paddled a lot
37:15
in school. I know you find that very hard to believe, Ryan,
37:16
but I actually didn't get in trouble in school a lot because of the mouth
37:21
thing, you know, the talking and so on and so forth, which
37:23
served me well, you know, for thirty five years after that, but
37:27
not so much in English class in ninth grade. But yeah, I got
37:30
paddled a lot in school. I want to say almost daily, but at
37:34
least once a week I got paddled in school. You know, it is
37:37
what it is, glorious results of a misspent youth. But that went away.
37:42
I think probably when I was in maybe tenth eleventh grade, which would
37:45
have been med eighties. Maybe that's when it went away. I don't know
37:50
if that one's going to come back. I really don't let me see text,
37:55
says Dave so Wester didn't. Republicans are suggesting capital punishment, but just
38:01
when it's a cop or EMT who dies. Let's focus on cleaning up police
38:06
corruption, especially West Virginia State Police, before legislating that their lives are more
38:09
valuable than others. Death penalty for all or none. Don't make it a
38:14
boot liquor bill. According to a Texter text says accept responsibility unless it's deep
38:20
state or Marxist. Republicans always deflect responsibility. Do these two senators hang with
38:25
the insurrection supporting a Zinger? According to a Texter TEXTU said someone should paddle
38:32
rupee. Lord, please help us. These people are state lawmakers. We
38:37
could do so much better for our children. Today's parents, as a text,
38:45
are failing to teach their children to be respectful. But it's reflective of
38:49
Generation X. Gen X clearly raise people to be terrible parents. I'm gonna
38:54
say this about gen X. You know, I am the card carry member
38:59
of Jenna, you know, kid of the eighties. But when we get
39:04
on this show, we meaning myself and I didn't have kids but me meaning
39:08
myself and the Texters and whatever, and we complain about these kids today.
39:13
Well, who raised these kids today? You know we did. I'm fifty
39:16
two. Most people my age are starting to have grandkids now, you know,
39:21
they have kids in their twenties. You know, these kids that we
39:24
complain about so much, who raised them? My generation, My generations are
39:30
the one that raised them. So sometimes you gotta look at the mirror.

your hometown family pharmacy all Right. As reported by w CHS television no
39:58
relation and Kenny Bass. There is some stuff going down or perhaps that will
40:02
soon with the state Superintendent of Schools and it has to do with the Upshur
40:07
County school system. Now, there is a program called ESSER, which is
40:12
short that's e SS Yard Shore for Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund.
40:19
It's nearly a two hundred billion dollar federal program whose purpose is to help students
40:25
and those in the education system to get through what was COVID a couple of
40:30
years ago. And you'll recall that West Virginia came into about seven hundred and
40:35
sixty one million dollars specifically for education. I know there were billions, but
40:38
I'm talking about just for education, but it's like seven hundred sixty one million.
40:42
I think it's what the figure was. And it's all coming out now
40:45
about rampant fraud with COVID funds. The Gazette, as a matter of fact,
40:50
headline story yesterday about the billions across America that was fraudently used of the
40:57
COVID funds. I mean, imagine that you send billions out from the for
41:00
no reason and there's fraud. Who's all that counting? Anyway? According to
41:05
Kenny Bast's story. There was a routine audit of this esser program in Upsher
41:08
County and it uncovered some interesting things, and state school Superintendent David Roach's name
41:15
is being thrown about. Allegedly funds were spent on things like no bid contracts,
41:22
entertainment room rentals, etc. Etc. Doctor Sarah Lewis Stankas was the
41:29
Upshur County Schools superintendent during that time. She left that job last August when
41:36
Superintendent to Schools of Western David Roach hired her to be one of two deputy
41:40
state superintendents, and she left that job last month. Now, emails have
41:45
now come out saying that mister Roach planned to suspend doctor Lewis Stankus, citing
41:52
findings in these audits as a reason to suspend her. Now the state school
41:58
board is wondering why stank Us was hired at all, without advertising the job
42:06
or without interviewing anyone else. Now, sources and this was as of showtime,
42:10
which was nine o'clock this morning. Sources are saying that at that time,
42:15
if Superintendent Roach did not step down before the meeting, he would be
42:21
fired. I mean this all developed, I mean, I know Kenny Bass
42:24
has been working on the story for sometime. This all developed over the last
42:28
twelve twenty four hours or so. Now that meeting was set, I understand
42:31
to begin at nine o'clock this morning. Pretty heavy stuff. I just during
42:37
the break there stuck my head in the news room talking to Jeff Jenkins.
42:38
He's monitoring the situation and if something happens within the next ten minutes, Jeff,
42:44
certainly we'll jump in. I'm sure I'll jump in unhappy as well,
42:46
And of course we'll be following the story throughout the day. It's a major
42:50
story. And speaking of the COVID fraud, unrelated, Jared Lewis as a
42:57
story posted on the website where a guy from Bridgeport is now facing up to
43:02
twenty years in prison for accepting over a half a million dollars in fraudulent COVID
43:07
funds. His name is James Nulty, fifty two years old, and this
43:13
is following a lengthy FBI investigation and more are coming. Billions, that's billions
43:22
with a B, folks, Billions have been fraudently claimed in COVID funds.
43:30

43:36

dot Com. I forgot to mention Ryan the today's flag Day, So Happy
47:19
Flag Day, Texas, Dave like you, I'm a kid of the seventies
47:22
and eighties, and I got paddled in third grade for talking in the hallway
47:25
to lunch line because other classroom doors were open. When I got home,
47:29
my father did not go and jump on the teacher. He told me,
47:32
quote, you knew the rules, you broke them end quote. It wasn't
47:36
the paddling that hurt. It was a humiliation of having it done in front
47:38
of the class. There weren't kids beating up teachers or taking control of the
47:44
class at that time. According to a text or text says a text or
47:49
saying, they don't think one group of people's lives are more valuable, which
47:52
I agree. However, that same view needs to apply to the discriminatory charge
47:58
of hate crimes as well. Again, one lives are not worth more than
48:01
others. Tex says, I can't imagine you being paddled for talking, a
48:06
nice, quiet young man like you. Thanks. I think that was sarcasm,
48:14
Texas. Someone needs to look at Carol Miller getting three million dollars in
48:16
COVID money. Happy birthday, Happy seventy seven. A former president Donald Trump,
48:22
he of course, pled not guilty yesterday in Miami, becoming the first
48:29
former president to face a federal charge. He pled not guilty and was asked,
48:37
was not asked, I should say to surrender his passport and has no
48:42
travel restrictions. He's not considered to be a flight risk. I mean,
48:45
it's not hard to figure out it's Donald Trump, you know, so if
48:50
he's not going to try to escape or anything. In fact, when it
48:53
was over, he hopped a plane back to New Jersey for a fundraiser held
48:58
a nightclub there, which this indictment, in my opinion, and I've talked
49:02
about this before, does nothing but amp up the funds he's getting for his
49:07
presidential campaign next year. Thirty seven counts many under the SPNA jacked for taking
49:16
documents that he shouldn't have and then refusing to give them back. And this
49:23
is just the Florida case. Remember he's probably going to face unrelated charges in
49:30
Georgia in the election probe there where he pressured elections officials to quote find more
49:37
votes for him. And in the meantime, his popularity continues to grow even
49:45
more. And that's really And I'm not saying you should ignore what happened in
49:53
Florida at all. I'm not saying that, But I'm just saying that I
49:59
do a lot of reading on social media and different columns and so on,
50:01
and so forth and people that thought, when this whole thing first came up,
50:07
well, this is going to be the end of Donald Trump. No,
50:13
it's not. It's not. Donald Trump is not going anywhere now.
50:17
I don't know whether he's going to go to jail. I don't have any
50:22
inside information there. But I can say this, if you think again,
50:25
and I said this time and time again, if you think that anything that's
50:30
that went on during that hearing in Florida yesterday is going to in any way,
50:36
shape, form or fashion to quote our governor is going to impact at
50:40
all in a negative light the popularity of Donald Trump. You've got another thing
50:47
coming because it's simply not going to happen a matter of fact, is making
50:51
it more popular, and it's putting more money in his bank account. Texas
50:57
to your Dave shows over time to bring up Trump, I did text says
51:02
Dave heard your boy. He's my boy. Now your boy Eric Tarr and
51:07
Hoppy yesterday saying he would vote for Trump even if he's in jail. That
51:10
tells you everything you need to know about the Republicans in West Virginia. According
51:15
to a tex Texas, Trump is a criminal, period start the chance of
51:22
lock him up a reference to the Virtual Academy guy, the CEO that I
51:30

51:32
a bad idea according to a text room and final text about Senator Phillips says,
51:38
