2:40
the show though now canidate for Kin Circond Judge Ashley Deem Ashley, good morning,
2:45
welcome to the show. Good morning, Thank you for having me,
2:47
Thank you for being here, I say, and welcome back to the show.
2:51
Because you the last time you were on here, I guess you announced
2:53
that you were going to be running. How have things been since then?
2:57
Oh, so busy it's been. I think it's been three months, almost
3:00
to the day, and I've been traveling all through Kenagg County. I've done
3:05
more trunkard treats than you can imagine. I've got parade scheduled this weekend.
3:08
I've spoken to about every conservative group that will have me, and I've been
3:13
door knocking meeting voters. I've met thousands of people, and I've truly been
3:16
humbled by the support I've received so far. Well, and you know,
3:20
I posted the pictures I always do of all my guests upcoming on the show,
3:23
and the picture that you have was one of your recent deer kills,
3:28
and it's got the CAMO going on. Give us a story about that,
3:30
because that'll make Chris Lawrence happy. So I want to do that. So
3:35
I have been hunting with my dad since I was about ten years old,
3:38
and so I was very fortunate. I had a great opening day this year,
3:43
went out and was lucky enough to harvest a six point buck. I
3:47
probably killed about mid morning. It was a beautiful day. I know many
3:52
very many people in West Virginia, in particularly Kenagg County, had a great
3:54
day that day as well. As you know, Opening Day in West Virginia
3:58
is a state holiday of sorts of course. Yeah, and the whole week
4:01
is practically given away. In case anyone missed your last appearance on the show,
4:05
tell us about Ashley Dean, give us the bio. Yeh. So,
4:09
I'm an attorney here in Charleston. I'm a lifelong West Virginia, lifelong
4:13
Knack County, and I'm really fortunate to be taking the opportunity to run for
4:17
Circuit judge right now. I think that, you know, it's a time
4:19
for change in Kannall County and it's the time that you know, we have
4:24
the currently have believed that I have the ability to make those positive changes that
4:28
I'm happy to be here and running for the seat, so to make changes.
4:30
That's one of the main reasons is why you're running. What else,
4:32
really, well, what are some of the other reasons why you're running for
4:34
judge? You know, I feel that it's the time is right now for
4:39
Kannall County to you know, we have a Circuit Court. In my opinion
4:43
right now, that doesn't entirely represent the Kenaw County residents. We have a
4:47
liberal circuit court for the most part. I think we need to sort of
4:50
bring that more in line with the voters of Kannall County. So that's that's
4:53
another big reason. We talked a lot about efficiency last time as well.
4:56
I think that that's something that I can bring to the Circuit Court. Well,
4:59
since the last time that you were on, Judge Jennifer Bailey announced that
5:01
she will be running for reelection to the bench, and I realized that further
5:05
rules and REGs of your particular any judicial race in West Virginia, there's stuff
5:11
that you can and can't say, And you know, it's a totally different
5:14
ballgame when it comes to judicial races in West Virginia, how you can campaign
5:18
and so forth. But I did read one piece that you had presumed that
5:24
the Judge Bailey would run again and your words as they were spoken to the
5:28
West Virginia Records, your words, I am the only Republican running for this
5:31
nonpartisan seat, and I meaning you expect a resounding victory. In quote and
5:38
you referenced Judge Bailey's having been appointed by a liberal Democratic governor more than twenty
5:43
years ago. That was from the West Virginia Record dated November twenty eighth.
5:47
I realized, again, there's things you can and can't say, so I
5:49
don't want to get you in trouble here. But any follow up to that
5:51
statement, Yeah, so when I filed, you know, three months ago,
5:55
I did assume that that Judge Bailey would file. She's been there,
5:58
you know, as I said in that interview, she's been there for over
6:00
twenty years. I do feel very strongly that I'm a strong candidate for this
6:04
race. You know, it's always intimidating to run against a for any attorney,
6:09
to run against a sitting judge. That's why I think a lot of
6:11
times we see sitting judges who never have opponents. For example, Judge Bailey
6:15
has, to my knowledge, has never had an opponent since being appointed in
6:17
the early two thousands. But you know, again, as you said,
6:21
judicial races are different. You know, I can talk about what I'll do
6:26
and I can talk about what I won't do. I won't be a judicial
6:29
activist judge. I won't play politics from the bench. I feel very strongly
6:32
that I'll be a good judge for knag County. Again, we're talking with
6:35
Ashley Deam, who is a candidate for circuit judge here in Kanawha County.
6:40
You talked about efficiency as you mentioned the last time that that you were on
6:44
the show, and again that was how a long ago was that you run
6:46
the show? Three months or three months ago to the day you were on
6:49
the show. And whenever you're running, Ashley, as you well know,
6:53
for any office, there is a learning curve even before you get in because
6:57
you're when you're out talking to people and you learn things and they'll say,
7:00
you go your campaigning door to door and they say this, and you kind
7:03
of kind of get a game plan. What do you hear from the from
7:06
the public out there? So what I've heard so far is, you know,
7:11
I hear a lot of people who say they've never met any of their
7:14
judges in Kinwak County. And so that's not always a bad thing. There
7:18
absolutely is a very fine line between you know, sort of but but what
7:23
I getting to know them and standing before them are two different things. That's
7:26
exactly right. That's exactly what what I do here is that you know,
7:28
it's I hear from a lot of people, it's refreshing to have, you
7:30
know, a judicial candidate knock on their door. And you know, I
7:33
think that again Aji said, it's not a bad thing, but I think
7:36
this idea that there's this judicial elite that you know, shouldn't interact with the
7:40
public and shouldn't have more of that open dialogue and hear what the voters want
7:43
to hear. And you know, see what see what voters want to see
7:46
in their judges. You know, they we know that they want a judge
7:48
who's going to be tough on crime and and you know, give criminals the
7:51
just punishment that they deserve when they come in and they try to do harm
7:55
to our citizens. And so that's that's really the narrative I've been hearing from
7:59
the voters. You know, we had a situation and I'm kind of going
8:01
off the rails here. There's nothing really that any judge could do about this.
8:05
But this horrific double murder that just took place a couple of days ago,
8:09
where a grandmother lost their life in a ten year old boy lost their
8:13
life as well. And they say that if and I was actually doing little
8:18
research on this, again, this is no this is no faultge. It's
8:20
more of a fault of the judicial system that this guy, because the biggest
8:24
thing they said about this guy is why is this guy still out? Well,
8:26
the reason that he was out is because he had all these charges against
8:30
him and either police officers, who I have nothing but the utmost respect for,
8:35
either police officers or the accusers, and domestic violence situations didn't show up.
8:41
And I don't know how. I don't know if there's anything a judge
8:45
can do about that other than just say somehow, we have a broken system
8:52
that we have to fix now. That may be more under the Dome in
8:56
Charles, in Charleston or nationwide. That what it is of, you know,
8:58
the fault of the judge. But I don't know how you get by
9:01
that, judge, I really don't. Yeah, I think that you know,
9:03
I have read about that. I don't you know, I'm not super
9:05
intimately involved with the details, but from what I understand, you know,
9:09
that was you know, at happened to the magistrate level, perhaps something like
9:13
that, And I believe that the Kanak County Prosecutor's office actually asked for those
9:16
charges to be dismissed. Maybe in one of those cases, again, I'm
9:18
not particularly okay, but I do know and as you said, I'm sure
9:22
that the officers in that case absolutely did the best they could to bring him
9:26
to justice. And sometimes, yeah, but if people don't show up,
9:30
and then who knows what. And I'm not trying to get into that situation
9:33
because who knows what went on, what was what the dynamic was. But
9:35
the bottom line is a lot of people would say across the country that we
9:37
do have a broken system. And I don't know that it's the job,
9:41
the job of the judge necessarily to fix that. But got to put the
9:46
right people there, whomever that they may be. Where can people learn more
9:50
about your campaign if they want to find out what you stand for and uh
9:54
and so on and so forth, we can learn more about your campaign?
9:56
Sure, So I do have a website ashleydem dot com, have Facebook page.
10:01
I post a lot of updates things like that. You can check out
10:03
Dogs for Deem, which is my most important coalition so far. Explain that
10:07
I got to hear I've been meeting a lot of dogs on the campaign and
10:09
I'm I'm just gonna tell you, I'm going to be in the couple parades
10:13
this weekend and the theme is all dogs, Dogs for Christmas, Dogs all
10:16
the time. I hope everyone loves that. And I'm actually also, now
10:20
that you mention it, releasing a new social media ad video today where I
10:24
talk about, you know, the importance of having a strong judge. He's
10:26
going to be tough on crime and delivered the you know, the punishment that
10:30
the law would prescribe. And so I hope that you all see that as
10:33
well. But I'm happy to you know, please reach out to me,
10:35
please, you know, my email addresses that sort of thing on my website,
10:39
and I again want to just meet as many voters as I possibly can.
10:41
And it's still early too. I mean, you know, we have
10:45
May fourteen, Yeah, so you still got a few months out there.
10:48
But doing these Christmas parades is a great way to meet. But what parades
10:50
are you doing this week? And on my I'm going to be at Bell
10:52
and Campbell's Creek this weekend. They're back to back next weekend. I believe
10:56
I'm in pinch. So there's so many parades. We did several of them
11:01
modern stations last weekend. I'm going to give you thirty seconds, as I
11:05
typically do for candidate's uninterrupted by me, and you're not on We're not actually
11:07
going to time it, So give me approximately thirty seconds and tell me why
11:11
people should vote for Ashley Dean for Circuit Judge of Canon Canny Well, I
11:16
would appreciate your vote. I'm out here, I'm working hard. I'm meeting
11:18
as many people as I possibly can. I believe, you know, efficiency,
11:22
more transparency to the circuit courts, which is obviously important if you want
11:28
a judge who's not going to be a judicial activist, not it's going on
11:31
going to play politics from the bench, someone who's going to hear the facts,
11:35
interpret the law, not try to rewrite the law. I'm the judicial
11:39
candidate for you, all right, Ashley, We wish you the best of
11:41
luck and have a very merry Christmas and a happy new Year. Thank you,

14:52
Patty is our producer Today Texas Dave. During the Hobby Show, there was
14:56
a Dave Allan Show promo ad feature Mike Stewart talking nonsensically about black black berries.
15:01
Was this a coincidence that the ad aired after the show that Stuart was
15:03
outed as being insuperable and friend friendless or did you feel bad for the guy
15:09
so you aired? What was his attempt to humor while I have I have
15:11
no control over anything to do other than this show, and I barely have
15:16
control of this show. Uh so I did hear the promo yet? When
15:20
when the Mike Stewart was on the show, he talked he did this analogy
15:24
about blackberries, and I thought it was funny, and I told Mike after
15:28
the show, I said, I'm probably going to use that in a promo,
15:31
just so you know. So now I have I heard it. Yesterday
15:33
I was listening to hoppy upstairs, but I had I had no idea what
15:37
was airing there? Uh Texas judiciary races are supposed to be nonpartisan. Candadates
15:41
need to keep the D and the R out of their races. Judge Fairley
15:46
and apply principles of the law period. Uh Texas tougher charges for animal abuse
15:52
and neglect. Question mark, So Texas cops no showed the domestic hearings because
16:00
the victims won't testify. No victim, no crime. It's tragic. It's
16:03
a very true statement there. Text says I'll be a strong judge, but
16:07
have no clue about the gruesome double murder. Nor do I have a clue
16:08
how to address the deficiencies in the legal systems. Vote for me? That
16:12
is, according to a texture Dave Allen shown five to eighty lives presented in
16:17
part by Pinnacle Consultants. Whether you're replacing a roof, free modeling in the

16:34
what you don't know can hurt you. Tonight, three of the four major
16:37
candidates for governor will be on stage in Morgantown for a gubernatorial debate moderated by
16:42
our own hobby Kerchival. They will to get more Capito. Secretary of State
16:45
Mac Warner, businessman Chris Miller will be there. Absent will be the guy
16:48
leading in the early polls. It's Attorney General Patrick Morrissey opting to skip out
16:52
to night. The debate, by the way, can be heard here on
16:56
this station, and you can view it at wv metronews dot com. Brad
17:00
mclahanney joins us now to discuss it. Brad, good morning, how are
17:03
you? Good morning? And you made me hungry? Yes tonight we're going
17:06
to have BlackBerry pie, BlackBerry cobbler, BlackBerry ice cream and say BlackBerry Well,
17:11
and that's unfortunate because that's going on in Morgantown and I am going to
17:17
be in the Canal Valley tonight, so I will not be going to Morgantown.
17:19
But maybe you saved me a piece, all right yesterday, Brad,
17:23
I had had Rob Cornelius on the show, and Lord, was that like
17:26
a tornado blowing through here. He and I talked about, well, other
17:30
than the impending felony indictments that he predicts for coming to a courtroom near you,
17:34
we talked about Attorney General Patrick Morris. He's skipping the debate tonight now.
17:37
Robin said he understood, and I guess I do too. But am
17:42
I wrong Brad in saying that if I am an undecided voter and a lot
17:47
of people are right now, I mean considering it is early, that the
17:51
filing period hasn't even officially started, and I'm wanting to hear from all the
17:53
candidates, and the leading one ain't there. Does that sound famili I'm sound
18:00
like a familiar something we've heard on the national level. It does, except
18:03
the guy you're referencing was president at one point, so he is running as
18:08
a semi incumbent. People people generally know what he's about, and he is
18:15
way way ahead in the polls. Consistently, state level, there is no
18:22
incumbent in the governor's race. Governor Governor Justice, a two term incumbent now
18:29
is up against the term limit. And you might have heard he's running for
18:32
US Senate, what really he is, So it's it's an open seat General
18:40
Patrick Morrissey, who has giving giving him political credit. He's won three state
18:45
wide races in that office. He's he's been on a high profile platform fighting
18:52
against Joe Biden and Barack Obama. So you know he's political record, but
19:00
he is not the incumbent for governor. The polls consistently, you can believe
19:07
whichever poll, but when they show a pattern, you know, maybe give
19:11
that some consideration. There has been in the ones I've seen higher than twenty
19:17
percent undecided, it's still relatively early, while while also getting late, and
19:23
so those are people that you know, you could reach out to and to
19:27
Night's debate with west Rshinia. Metro News is a way for those twenty or
19:33
more percent undecided to begin thinking about, all right, who are you actually
19:40
going to vote for? And listen very carefully to the messages of Secretary of
19:45
State Mac Warner, who has won that state wide office twice. House Judiciary
19:51
Chairman More Capito, son of the U. S Senator, grandson of the
19:53
former governor and businessman Chris Miller, son of the incumbent Congresswoman Carol Miller,
20:02
you know, to listen and figure out what flavor of black beer you like.
20:07
So I will say this. I watched the and I'm gonna if I
20:10
get time, I'll talk about this a little bit later on Brad. I
20:11
watched the presidential debate from Alabama last night on News Nation and told my wife,
20:18
who, you know, I was paying close attention. I don't know
20:22
that she really was, but that's okay, because you know, she's probably
20:23
better off not paying attention to it as much as what we do. But
20:26
Vivid Ramaswami was on the last side, and he even talked about he got
20:32
kind of gave inadvertently Patrick Morrissey a little bit of a nudge because he referred
20:36
to the West Virgini University the BA case as the most important case over the
20:40
last several years. I think he said, and you know that's all Patrick
20:44
Morrison. I mean, that's on Patrick Morrisey. And that's why so many
20:47
people liked the job that Patrick Morrissey's done as Attorney General. And I'm sure
20:52
he's going to try to parlay that into what he could do as governor.
20:56
So I want to say this as tonight in Morgantown. While this debate is
21:03
going on with the three that are there in Charleston, a guy who many
21:07
believe wants to be Secretary of State has a gathering at the Culture Center.
21:12
It's Chris Warner, former state party chair, brother to the current SOS Macwarner.
21:18
He is expected tonight that he is going to announce he will be running
21:22
for Secretary of State. Kind of curious timing on that with his brother on
21:27
stage in Morgantown. Would you agree with that? Yes? And I don't
21:33
know that I necessarily understand the strategy, but you know, name recognition is
21:38
hard to come by. The Warners have been in politics for many years.
21:45
Chris himself has been involved in politics and the legal system. So you know,
21:52
it appears to be an advantage of sort of drafting off of the Warner
21:56
name and the brothers and father all being involved in politics and uh, you
22:04
know, kind of establishing a brand. Uh. There is a bit of
22:08
a time difference. What time is Chris's event, Like, I think it's
22:11
a six, Yeah, it's Culture Sets seven. Yeah, And I'm sure
22:15
they'll have it on down there. I just thought it was interesting that it
22:18
was on the same day, but Hey, look, I'm not one to
22:19
question their strategy. Obviously, you know they they know what they're doing,
22:23
So I just thought it was interesting. Uh uh in in my opinion,
22:27
what do you as far as on stage tonight, and again it'll be three
22:33
of the four major candidates will be there, how do you think it's going
22:37
to go? As far as you think it'll be a little chippy. I
22:38
mean, lord knows, nothing could be worse than these presidential debates like the
22:41
one I watched last night? But uh, how do you think it'll go?
22:45
You know, I I hope it will be in formative debate, but
22:51
relatively informal. I believe it's around a big table, It's not like a
22:56
podiums. I think Coppy has some questions he wants to get at, but
23:02
he I believe, has the intent of letting the conversation flow a little bit.
23:08
And each of these candidates who are participating, Warner, Capito, and
23:14
have described themselves as different kinds of conservatives. Warner saying, you know,
23:21
I'm going to fight for West Virginia traditional values, Capito saying I'm gonna get
23:26
it done. Conservative referring to the practical aspects of passing legislation, and Miller
23:33
is saying he wants to bring his business experience to bear as West Virginia's chief
23:38
executive. And what I hope Hobby can do is give West Virginia voters,
23:42
particularly those undecided voters, a greater sense of what these candidates might do on
23:51
policy matters, how they're overriding conservative philosophies differ from each other, and how
24:00
that might actually for a chief executive who is controlling who is going to be
24:10
in a leadership position of the many agencies of state government. And we're talking
24:15
to Brad McIlhenny about the gubernatorial debate in Morgantown, and you can catch that.
24:18
We'll have it on the radio here and also you can watch it at
24:22
wvmetronews dot com. And again Attorney General Patrick Morrissey opting out. I had
24:26
one political observer who told me this wasn't on the show, but off the
24:32
air. They said, well, it's a great opportunity for the other three
24:34
to attack the guy who's not in the room, meaning Patrick Morrissey. I
24:40
don't know that necessary. And again I don't know. I'll be watching just
24:42
like everybody else. You know, I won't be in Morgantown. I'll be
24:45
in Tay's valley tonight, but I'll be watching like everybody else and be interested
24:49
to see how it all plays out. Whether they do that. I have
24:52
a feeling that they're probably not going to do that. Now twenty four hours
24:56
from now, I'm going to look like an idiot, as I normally do,
24:59
because I got it all wrong. I don't say necessarily that happening.
25:03
Maybe I'm wrong. What do you think? You know? What Morrissey has
25:07
said is he thinks that this debate is a bit early and he would like
25:11
to wait until after the filing period, right, and there will be more
25:15
debates. This is not the only one, so there will be more.
25:18
He and his campaign have this thing also about we don't want to have the
25:22
media taking a leadership role in organizing the debates, so let's work it out
25:26
among ourselves. Well, working it out has not worked out. But you
25:30
know, he has made his political reputation as being a fighter. I'll fight
25:33
Obama, I'll fight fight, I'll fight for you. And symbolically, what
25:40
message does it send when he is sitting out the fight tonight. I am
25:44
not sure it is consistent with his political persona he will not be there.
25:48
There will not be an empty chair, but Patrick Morrissey at the Fighter will
25:52
not be fighting tonight, twenty seven minutes away from Tamaday Vallen Show on A

26:18
closely the hearings pretending to a propose rate hike that Wes Virginia American Water has
26:22
been asking for somewhat heated at times over the last couple of days. What's
26:26
the latest there, Brad? Yeah, And so it is a rate hike
26:30
that was virching the American water put in four months ago. The wheels of
26:36
the Public Service Commission turned somewhat slowly. It is what forty million dollars.
26:41
I don't have it in front of me right now. Roughly a twenty percent
26:45
for your your water bill. Well, recent fiasco on the West Side where
26:56
a waterline broke and then had apparently some effect on gas lines and then for
27:04
several weeks eliminated gas service for West Side customers, that's not really a part
27:12
of this. It's a higher view issue. But you know, it's hard
27:18
to separate one without the other. I mean, I think, particularly for
27:21
Charleston residents, what you think of is the recent water company involvement in the
27:27
loss of gas service. Before that, you know, you think of the
27:33
inability of Charleston firefighters to access water from a hydrant on an emergency basis in
27:40
Rick Cavender's home that destroyed his house, and that brought on a look at
27:48
what is the service for West Virginia hydrants on an emergency basis, And you
27:52
know, Canau Valley customers. It's been a while, but it's hard to
27:57
erase the memory of people in the Canal Valley being without water because of the
28:03
chemical crisis of years ago. So all of those themes are i think running
28:08
in the background of what the Public Service Commission has been talking about, but
28:14
they are not necessarily central to the argument. The argument really is what financial
28:22
resources. Does the water company need for capital improvements and investments? And can
28:27
it justify that request? Brad? Before we let you go, did you
28:33
watch any of the GOP presidential debate last night? I did, and I
28:37
thought that it was better than some of the prior ones because the candidate field
28:41
had been narrowed down and each of them got a chance to truly be active
28:47
and have some interactions that seem meaningful. I think the remaining candidates are diverse
28:53
enough in their positions on the political spectrum that it was an interesting debate.
29:00
And you know, News Nation, which is maybe not people's it's relatively new
29:06
and new to people's viewing habits. I thought that News Nation tried to put
29:10
its best foot forward and had an interesting multiple rounds of questions. Well,
29:15
I'll just say this, And I watched, as I said, start to
29:18
finish, and I will just say this, when it comes to these debates,
29:22
and there's got to be And I'm not a tech guy, you know,
29:25
I just sit here and talk behind the microphone, Brad. But but
29:27
I think there's got to be a better way than them talking over top of
29:32
each other. And I mean, I think he needs some more hardcore I
29:36
mean, I have Makan Kelly did a great job last night. The other
29:37
two not so much. But I think there's got to be a better way
29:44
to silence the mics or something, because it was total chaos. And I
29:48
will say this, and this is just my opinion, not depending of anybody
29:52
else. Vivid Kramaswami is an ass I said it. I mean he is.
29:56
That is my opinion. I mean I think, I mean, I
30:00
don't know how anybody could support this guy based on his the way he behaves
30:04
in public. That's just me. It's incredible to me that he remains on
30:11
the debate stage based on a minimal track record of his only public service has
30:18
been in his own business capacity. But the former vice president of the United
30:22
States the stage he's now out. US senators and governors who were in the
30:29
race, I'm thinking of Tim Scott in particular, have already dropped out,
30:33
and somehow Vivid continues, Yeah, I don't get Brad. Would you be
30:38
in Morgantown th I are you going to be watching like the rest of us?
30:41
I know you and Hoppy and Jeff have kind of worked together on some
30:44
things. Are you going to be up there eating popcorn and are you going
30:47
to be at home or what are you gonna be doing tonight? I'm going
30:49
to be I'm going to be at the debate. I'm going to be pulling

32:10
Morrissey is not coming to the Metro News debate because of the poll you
32:14
guys ran that he called fake news. Awesomely so, Ramaswami makes Mike Stewart
32:20
tolerable by comparison. Textra says to the candidates, if you have to attack
32:24
the one person who's not on stage for not being there, that tells me
32:29
as a voter that you do not feel very confident about your policy ideas and
32:32

Remember you are not leftists. According to a Texter, Textas says, they

has enough money to do positive and to tear down the front runner Texas.
32:50
I think Morrissey takes just as much blame as opioid companies when it comes to

35:42
Charleston. Maryor Amy Goodwin joins us now to talk about it. Mayor,
35:44
good morning, How are you? Good morning? I'm wonderful. How are
35:47
you all? Second appearance in a week. I know, I know it's
35:52
gonna move in big night in Charleston tonight. Talk about it. Yeah,
35:54
it's really exciting. You know. We change the Christmas Parade from a time
36:00
parade to a night time parade a couple of years ago, and gosh,
36:05
she was the amount of participation and people are now at record levels. We
36:13
have about one hundred and seventy five entries tonight and thousands and thousands of people
36:20
will be downtown. Thanks to Mother Nature, she's going to be a little
36:23
bit better to us than in years past, and so it's going to be
36:28
it's going to be exciting. Indeed, it is now a lineup starts at
36:30
five, The parade starts at seven. Biggest Christmas parade possibly in Charleston's history.
36:37
I have all the details posted the Dave Island Radio and Facebook and Dave
36:40
Alan Show on xey artist forming known as Twitter. It's also available on the
36:44
city's website and your social media and I do just want to throw this in
36:47
Mayor. I got a word sent to me last night from the folks at
36:51
Asterig Auto and the Charleston Police Department that they are going to be doing their
36:54
toy drive, that they will be collecting new and unwrapped toys during the parade
36:59
tonight, so look for them as well. They got they actually sent me
37:01
a picture of what this vehicle is that they're going to have in the prey.
37:06
But they did want to specify safety. They want people to bring out
37:09
toys, but they don't want people running in the in the traffic of the
37:13
parade. So yeah, please, that's number one. We will come to
37:15
you, our folks from the Charleston Police Department will be collecting toys for our
37:21
kiddos in town who need maybe a little extra help this season. So thanks
37:24
for bringing down an unwrapped toy will come to you. You know, everybody
37:30
says all you excited about the parade all morning long. When I went to
37:32
the gym this morning, people said that it's a big night and it is
37:36
thousands of people, largest prade we've ever had. Largest, I would say,
37:38
holiday prayed in the state of West Virginia, I would venture to say,
37:43
and it's exciting, it's great, and some of the floats are going
37:46
to absolutely knock your socks off. But for a mayor and I will be
37:51
participating, I'm going as a We have a theme from the Mayor's office,
37:53
as we do every year. My number one concern is always safety. When
37:59
you switch from a day to a night, it adds excitement and vibrancy with
38:04
the lights, but it also adds an element of safety. And so please
38:09
you know, as you're watching or as you're driving in in the parade,
38:15
being in very strict rules and for good reason. Dave, you know that,
38:19
and you know kids, you know, jumping out to get candy it's
38:22
it's it's a fear of mind, but also too somebody taking a wrong turn.
38:27
You know, you you have to make sure and we do. We
38:30
troubleshoot, we do tabletops on this of you know, if we had an
38:34
emergency, how do we exit? You know what, what are the protocols
38:37
that we put in place so people don't make wrong turns down streets or if
38:40
they do, there are blockades, there are barricades. And while that doesn't
38:45
sound like fun and games, and it isn't, it's my number one priority
38:49
during an event like this, just as it is all big events in the
38:52
city. What are the things that we need to do to keep people safe?
38:57
And so my eyes will yes be on all the kiddo is having a
39:00
great time. But also we'll do another review before the parade starts tonight,
39:05
running through all of our safety protocols. Indeed, and again as I said,
39:08
you know you can, folks do a great job with your social media
39:10
and on your website, and I try to share as much as I can
39:14
on my social media. Please note that there's going to be some traffic issues
39:19
in Charleston leading up to the parade. The five o'clock lineup there's gonna be
39:22
some some street closures and things that nature, because it's a it's a big
39:25
old parade here. It's a big old parade. Like I say, it's
39:28
the biggest I venture to say, in the state of West Virginia, certainly
39:30
the largest one we've ever had. And you know, but this is what
39:34
our downtown businesses have requested as well. They love it, just like Holly
39:38
Jolly Brawley. And the thing about the Christmas Parade that is, you know
39:44
has changed over the years is there's so much more to do downtown now.
39:46
And so when you get here, my suggestion is come early, and by
39:52
the way, if you need to leave early, it's going to be a
39:55
challenge. So just you know, a lot of folks have said, well,
40:00
you know, I hate it because it snarls traffic. We try to
40:04
do our very best, but you're absolutely right. When you have a big
40:07
event like this and you have a big parade, you might be sitting waiting
40:10
to pull out of town. We have better protocols in place, we believe
40:15
to get the floats you know, which were coming down Capital by the way,
40:20
Dave and coming up summer. So we'll make a left on Washington,
40:22
then come right back on Summers and then making a right back onto the boulevard.
40:27
We're going to try to get those floats and keep number one, keep
40:30
it moving, one hundred and seventy five entries. Dave, by the way,
40:34
it is a lot. It is a lot. And you mentioned the
40:36
weather earlier. The weather is going to cooperate. I mean for this time
40:40
of December, and you know with Christmas parades and I've been in plenty of
40:43
them over the years of my time, you're everything from snow to sleep,
40:45
the ice to storms. Absolutely nothing you can ask for better weather for the
40:50
Christmas Parade the night. Yeah, we're really excited because there's so many there's
40:53
so many young people that are participating in the parade. The game has been
40:58
upped. I mean, not only are we going to have, you know,
41:01
wonderful folks like the Kelly Bogs dance studio from Winfield who won last year.
41:06
Who I mean, they're just there's so much fun to watch. But
41:09
you know, our arts department, you know, we Jeff Pearson and John
41:14
Butterworth knock it out of the park every year with the it fits the toy
41:19
theme. This year, Buddy, I can't wait for you to see it.
41:22
It's absolutely amazing, amazing. So it's a lot of excitement and we're
41:30
really excited to put this on again. But you know, make no mistake,
41:34
just like Holly Jolly Brolly, just like you know, making sure that
41:37
everything is picture perfect over at the ballpark for our late the night events as
41:43
well. It takes a lot of time and preparation and folks, a lot
41:45
of police officers are going to be out tonight, a lot of folks from
41:49
our traffic department keeping people safe and things moving. It's you know, it

45:47
personal against A. G. Morrissey, but I feel personally me speaking,
45:53
he should be there as Trump should have been on stage in Alabama last night.
45:58
And by the way, I want to say this, hats off to
45:59
Chris Christy, uh like him or not, CHRISTI is the only one with
46:02
the testicular fortitude uh to uh to call it out Donald Trump, Uh,
46:08
Nicky Haley, whom I like, won't do it. Ron DeSantis, who
46:14
I also like somewhat won't do it. And Ramaswamy. Uh, well you
46:17
heard my feelings of Ramaswamy earlier. He won't do it either. But anyway,
46:22
I digressed back to Thebates night. Check it out w Metro news dot
46:28
com. Let's go to the phones and you are on the air. Go
46:30
ahead, Hello, Hello, you're on there, David the Jackal, Yes,
46:37
sir, uh, I wanted to talk to you about a lot of
46:40
things. I know it's been a while since I checked in. You know,
46:47
the legislative session in West Virginia is getting ready to come up. So
46:52
I think it's time we got back to this show's the strongest area of influence,
47:00
which is policy. Okay, we talk a lot about state policy on
47:05
this show. I think it's time that we started evaluating how our courts are
47:12
administrated. We need to start thinking about our magistrates. Our magistrates are ordered
47:22
to have a law degree. Anybody with a GED can be a magistrate.
47:29
How can you expect a person that knows the legal system to interface with a
47:36
magistrate when there's just a level of education they don't have nor understand Why am
47:46
I expected, as a prosy litigant to be able to file things that are
47:54
in Latin in front of a guy I'm not even sure understands English. Well,
48:00
there is a certain amount of education that goes on with being a magistrate.
48:04
I mean it's not just like you just show up in West Virginia.
48:07
All you have to have is a GED to be a magistrate, right,
48:09
But I mean there's there's on the job training. Because I have some very
48:14
good friends of the job training get out of here, man. Law school
48:16
is three years long. Okay. We've got people that are serving as magistrates
48:22
in West Virginia that that can't pass a basic basic English competency test, much
48:32
less anything start in law school. We need to get serious requirements into these
48:38
courts for the people that judge the rest of us. Have you reached out
48:45
to anybody in the legislature about this? I have, Okay, and I've
48:51
reached out to somebody. Maybe you're not in favor of Okay Buskin. Bushkin
48:55
and I are great friends. We just disagree politically, but we're actually great
49:00
friends. You know what. One of the best things about this show has
49:06
been the fact that people that come from the opposition, like myself, are
49:10
allowed to speak. I would invite you to have Delegate Pushkin on to speak
49:17
about this particular issue. Well, he's on quite regularly, so I'll bring
49:21
it up the next time he's here. I think this is one of the
49:23
most important issues in the state of West Virginia. When an individual goes to
49:30
court, the first person they're brought before is a magistrate, not a judge.
49:36
A magistrate. If these magistrates are not schooled in the law, what
49:43
kind of crazy decisions do we get? My entire life has been disrupted and
49:51
destroyed due to the decisions of magistrates that don't even have the same level of
49:59
education and I enjoy and they speak to me is if I'm beneath them.
50:07
Okay, it's kind of crazy. You work so hard to get an education,
50:14
but because one guy's popular with his ex girlfriends in a community, he's
50:21
better than you now and he knows more than you, and it doesn't It
50:27
doesn't matter who's read more books. All right, all right, well,
50:30
I appreciate your phone call, and I promise you I will the next time.
50:35
I will bring it up to Delegate Pushkin when he's on the show.
50:37
Tex says, remember when Trump cloud on Christie's wife, then Christy got upset.
50:40
Then Christy went and helped Trump. Fortitude isn't the word to describe Chris
50:45
Christy. I was talking about this particular incident. Now there's a lot of
50:47
things I don't agree with with Chris Christy, but I'm talking about this particular
50:52
in his calling out Trump. I do agree with him on that, but
50:54
that's not over. That's not an endorsement. Bindy Stretch the imagination text says,
51:00
you owe royalties to missus Foley's baby boy for using the testicular fortitude phrase.
51:06
Yeah, well he sorry, and that's a reference to Mick Foley.
51:08
Micfoley wasn't the first person to use that. That's been used by a lot
51:13
of people. A little slow going coming into Charleston this morning. Cones were
51:16
placed on the fort Hill Bridge for some reason, which seems like a good
51:22
idea, you know, during the morning commute, but just know if you're
51:25
coming into the city. Not sure if it's still that way or not,
51:28
but just know there was a backup. I got through it pretty easily this
51:30
morning. However, after me, I understand traffic was backed up to Dunbar
51:35
because they had one lane closed eastbound coming into the city. So just letting
51:38
you know that. Let me leave you with this if you're looking for something
51:42
to do in Charleston tonight, before, during, or after the parade and
51:45
joined my buddy Steve Animal from ninety to seven Mountain. He'll be broadcasting life
51:49
from Bar one oh one to downtown Charleston. Great food and drink specials and
51:52
the opportunity to hang out with the semi legendary Steve Animal. So check it
51:55
out. And by the way, today is Pearl Harbor Day eighty two years
51:59
to the day, so let's let's keep that in mind as well. All
52:01
right, remember the debate tonight. Listen to it here or go to the
52:05
website wv Metro News dot com. Hobby Kirchwell, we'll be moderating that tonight.
52:08
