1:56
I got I got some text I wanted to get to from the show yes
2:00
yesterday, and some other things that are on the mind of Dave it's a
2:02
scary place to be, and so we're going to give that a little bit
2:06
later on. I want to welcome to the show though this morning, Michael
2:08
Sholz, who was a candidate for spot of the West Virginian Intermediate Court of
2:13
Appeals. Good morning, sir, how are you. Good morning, Dave.
2:15
I am doing greats yourself. I'm doing fine. Thank you for being
2:19
here. It's my pleasure. Yeah. And the full disclosure, not the
2:23
first time you've been on the radio. You're a radio guy. I am
2:27
a radio guy. I'd like to well, I have a face made for
2:30
believe me. Please, voters don't hold that against him, that he's a
2:32
radio guy. Right, but I do have the scary mind of which you
2:36
speak. Yes, indeed, indeed, let me get into explaining. I'll
2:40
let you explain it. The Estate's Intermediate Court of Appeals. Give us the
2:46
kind of the brief overview of how that came into being. What exactly is
2:49
the role of the Intermediate Court of Appeals. You know, the Intermediate Court
2:52
of Appeals has actually only been in existence up and running since July one,
2:57
twenty twenty two. The legislature as the legislation that spring of twenty twenty one
3:02
that established the court. It's a three judge court and since it's gone live
3:07
July one, twenty twenty two, it hears four different types of appeals.
3:15
Primarily, Number one is civil appeals. Civil matters that are tried at the
3:20
circuit court level, they are now appealed to the Intermediate Court of Appeals.
3:23
You have family law matters, family law, most family there are some that
3:28
go straight to the Supreme Court, but most family law matters that are before
3:30
family law judges now go to the intermediate state of Intermediate Court of Appeals.
3:36
You have workers' compensation claims that go up on appeal. Those go to the
3:39
Intermediate Court. And the fourth category, and it's the smallest of the four,
3:44
are appeals from administrative agencies al J's government agency appeals. So it's it's
3:53
a court that wish only want to al Jays administrative law judge. Okay.
3:58
So for instance, if you were trying to get unemployment compensation benefits, where
4:02
you go before a grievanceport because you're a state employee and you don't like the
4:06
decision that's made. Eventually, if you go up the appeal chain, you're
4:11
going to reach the intermediate Court of Appeals. And while it's only been around
4:15
up and running for about a year and a half, and it's only been
4:18
an existence since the legislation has been passed a little over two years ago,
4:23
this has been an idea that was kicked around since two thousand oughts about a
4:28
fifteen year journey odyssey effort to make this intermediate court of reality. So give
4:33
us a bio. Tell us who is Michael Schulz. I am a lawyer,
4:40
Believe it or not, I'm a litigator. The way I describe what
4:44
I do as I say, you know all the people who advertise on TV
4:46
and on bus stops and all that I go against them. So I'm a
4:51
trial lawyer. But I'm a defense trial lawyer and have been my entire career
4:56
over thirty one years. I'm a little unusual in that I w I wasn't
5:00
born and raised in West Virginia. I was born and raised in Milwaukee,
5:02
Wisconsin. I came to Charleston, West Virginia, right out of law school,
5:06
took my first job here in Charleston, and I have never looked back.
5:11
I've spent my entire career here, well over half my life, and
5:15
I can't say I was born and raised a proud mountaineer, but I chose
5:18
to come here, and I chose to stay here. I've had many opportunities
5:24
to leave, but I chose to stay here. Raised two wonderful daughters,
5:28
the younger of which will be graduating from WVU in just a few weeks.
5:31
And that's who I am. I have experience. I've litigated throughout the state
5:38
of West Virginia, Eastern Panhandle, Northern Panhandle, spent a lot of time
5:42
in Ohio County, Brook County, Marshall County, over in Berkeley County,
5:46
the southern part of the state. At the beginning of my career, I
5:49
was all over southern West Virginia. Talked about the new Para mar restore down
5:53
in Whitesville. Yea, I'm like, I know that I've been through in
5:56
Whitesfield, trust me, and it's that experience is why I'm running. It's
6:01
part of the reason that I'm running because I don't think there's anybody who could
6:05
possibly put in for this court, for this position that's going to have the
6:12
breadth and depth of my experience in terms of litigation. I've got to get
6:15
Michael Scholes again, who is a candidate for the Estate's Intermediate Court of Appeals.
6:19
I liked what you said there, Michael, about you know you're not
6:23
from West Virginia. A friend of mine. I'm not even sure who it
6:27
was. I've heard other people say it who said I'm not from West Virginia.
6:30
But I got here as quickly as I could. But you had an
6:32
opportunity, as you said, many opportunities to go other places, but you
6:35
chose to stay in West Virginia. And I know this hays absolutely nothing to
6:40
do with your campaign, but I like hearing this every now and then.
6:42
What is it about West Virginia that made Michael Scholes say, Hey, I
6:46
may be from Milwaukee, but this is where I choose to be. What
6:48
was number one? Number two, and number three are the people I could
6:55
have? In fact, I had a job offer in two places come out
6:58
of law school. When was in Charleston, West and one was in Washington,
7:00
d C. And I went for interviews to both and it was the
7:04
people not only that I met at the firm where I eventually joined, but
7:09
also just the people around as I was walking around trying to figure out because
7:14
coming out of law school, you're gonna work hard, and I'm going to
7:16
work long hours. Where do I want to be when I'm not working.
7:19
Do I want to spend an hour and a half on a metro or on
7:24
a bus trying to get home, or do I want to spend that time
7:27
out and about in the community, getting involved in the community. And that's
7:30
what brought me here initially, and that is what has kept me here all
7:35
this time. I mean, I made sure as soon as I got here.
7:39
For instance, me and two friends started to coach youth sports teams because
7:43
we're a big sports guy, and that got us involved in the community,
7:46
even before we had kids, before we put down deep roots that got us
7:50
kind of into the community. I was on the board of Junior Achievement for
7:54
a long time when I had just moved here. That got me deeply involved.
7:58
And that's a commitment to the community that I've carried throughout my career to
8:03
this point. And it's all because of the people. Love the people in
8:07
West Virginia. And when I bring people or I talk to people or clients
8:11
or friends who come to the Charleston family members, to be blunt, They're
8:15
like, Wow, the people here are incredible. I'm like, yeah,
8:18
we have a bad rap in terms of reputation nationally, including as lawyers,
8:22
because you know we're just country bumpkins, right, yes, and I just
8:26
I let that stereotype fester until the point where you know what, we know
8:31
what we're doing. We're good, we may be kind, but don't sell
8:33
us short because we are astute, we're smart, and we're very capable.
8:39

8:48
Michael. Campaigning for any judicial position in West Virginia can be a little bit
8:52
difficult, or at least different, I'll say, than the other positions and
8:56
offices. You know you aren't allowed to directly solicit camp funds, the positions
9:01
are nonpartisan. What is your plan for the campaign? You know, you're
9:03
right, it is different, and it's different in addition for this seat because
9:07
number one is the state wide race and number two it's never been done before.
9:13
This is the first time that a seat on the Intermediate Court of Appeals
9:16
has come open. So my plan is to is to get out and visit
9:22
the state. I am the immediate past chair of the Board for Leadership West
9:28
Virginia, which is a statewide leadership program class of twenty fifteen, best class
9:31
ever. But go ahead and if there are any Leadership West Virginia people who
9:37
were listening, they know exactly what you mean. And so I've gotten to
9:43
meet people. I plan to tap into that network all around the state and
9:48
set up meet and greats throughout the state. I'm also the currently the President
9:52
elect of the Defense Trial Council of West Virginia, which again the Board for
9:58
Defense Trial Council, and the members of that organization are all over the state.
10:03
In addition, I have practiced all over the states, so I've met
10:05
people. So my plan is I may not be able to outraise, and
10:11
of course I can't ask directly, I would have people. May not be
10:13
able to outraise people. What I think I bring is I have networks of
10:18
people that I know I've interacted with professionally as part of these organizations all over
10:22
the state, and I plan to just get out and meet people and kind
10:26
of explain as I'm doing here today, my experience, what I bring to
10:31
the job, the importance of this court, which I think is vitally important.
10:33
And there's an education element to that because a lot of people are not
10:37
going to know what the Intermediate Court of Appeals is. And that's where I'm
10:41
going to tap into my over fifteen years of teaching at West Virginia State on
10:45
a subject no one likes to sit in college and listen to, which is
10:48
history, and so you have to educate and make it interesting. And I
10:52
think I can do that and that's what I plan on doing. And how
10:56
many people are we going to be electing. How many people will be on
10:58
the ballot? Just one? So just one position available. Correct. Three
11:01
were appointed by Governor Justice. They were appointed to terms two, four,
11:07
and six. Okay, so they're staggered. Right. Judge Tom Scarr was
11:13
appointed the two year term. He is not going to be running, So
11:16
the first open seat is going to be decided at the primary on May fourteenth,
11:24
twenty twenty four. All judicial races, since they are nonpartisan, as
11:28
you mentioned, will be decided in the primary, right, Yeah, And
11:33
I think that's so as far as you're not running for a particular seat,
11:37
there's not really a district that represents a certain area. It's just kind of
11:41
you know, all it's state wide, state wide, state wide. Enter
11:45
Michael Final thirty, wat should someone vote for you? They should vote for
11:48
me, because what you want from a judge is somebody demonstrated one I'm smart
11:54
and I'll let other people decide if I'm smart or not. But I think
11:56
that you want somebody who works hard, and I have over thirty one years
12:01
demonstrated work ethic. You want somebody who is fair. I remember a friend
12:05
of mine who is a prominent trial dyer on the plane of side was interview
12:09
talked about judges. You want somebody who is smart, who listens, and
12:13
who gives you a shot and is just fair. And that's me. And
12:18
again my experience over thirty one years all over the state, because the appeals
12:22
come in from all over the state, my experience is going to be unmatched
12:26
in this race. And that's why somebody should vote for me. And where
12:28
can people learn more about your campaign? Michael Schultz for WV dot com.

Thank God. Okay uh Tex says breaking news, a moss breaks cease fire
16:22
by attacking Israeli troops. According to a text Brad Macklahoney, it's with us
16:27
brag good morning. How are you sir? Dave? Hey, what are
16:30
you doing here on the Dave Allen Show. I just stop in for a
16:34
cup of coffee every day. Then that's uh, that's I just come in
16:40
and you know, keep ryan, you know in candy and everything. That's
16:44
uh, that's what I do. I want to get your input, Brad
16:48
on on West Virginia. First, you have a story posted about a WV
16:52
metronews dot com. Now, this is the foundation, Brad that is meant
16:56
tasked with distributing over two hundred and seventeen million dollars in the opioid settlement money.
17:00
I found it somewhat comical, Brad, in your's story that you said
17:06
the group went into executive session yesterday to discuss transparency wit what Yeah, not
17:15
ideal? Right, So, I mean, I think the issue is that
17:19
this is a newly established group and they're kind of setting their own ground rules
17:25
as they as they taxi down the runway. It doesn't necessarily I mean,
17:32
it's it's a composite of a variety of like the governor names five people to
17:41
it, and different regions around the state name people to it, and and
17:45
they're they don't have any pre established rules to go by, So I think
17:51
their heart's in the right place and that they want to This is a lot
17:55
of money. It's not taxpayer dollars, but it is public money. It's
17:59
the proceeds from the opioid litigation that you know, the opioid crisis affected so
18:06
many communities. So they want to they want to be careful with the dollars,
18:08
and they want to earn the public trust, and they want to I
18:15
think, in the end be open with with how they're distributing that money and
18:21
where it is in the meantime and how their decisions are made. But until
18:26
then, yes, they did go into a closed session kicking the media in
18:32
a nice way, kicking the media and other members of the public off the
18:36
call so that they could go into this. Uh. It was an online
18:41
meeting folk. Uh, so they could go into a meeting without us to
18:47
talk about transparency. There's the irony was on the door. There's a Yogi
18:49
bear reference in there somewhere, Brad, And nobody goes there anymore because it's
18:53
too crowded or something like that. So that's all I could think of.
18:56
And I want to read your story yesterday Brad. Since we lasket there have
19:00
I want to get into some political developments and some races here. There were
19:04
three in the race for attorney general. Now there is two. Ryan Weld
19:10
is out, leaving only Mike Stewart and J. B. McCuskey in the
19:11
race for now on the Republican side. Stewart was on the show yesterday lobbying
19:15
some real jabs against JB. McCuskey. This race is ugly, and I
19:21
think it's going to get uglier. Your take, I think so, and
19:27
you know a couple of things. My theory the case could be wrong,
19:33
so forgive me, but I think Weld was occupying sort of a center right
19:41
moderate lane along with McCuskey, and that Stewart is to the right of them.
19:48
Everyone forgive me if my synopsis is incorrect. But by coming off the
19:52
board, Weld opens that moderate lane at center right lane more to mccusky.
20:00
Now Stewart's probably going to be the one who disagrees with that, because I
20:04
think he's gonna call mccusky. You know, if he didn't on the show
20:07
yesterday, he probably did. He did. He did a liberal rhino,
20:15
left wing socialist Tommy. So did I get all the adjectives, A few
20:22
of them, not all of them, but a few of them, Brad,
20:23
and a few of them, a few of them. But I just
20:26
and I asked the question yesterday to Mike Stewart, I just said, is
20:27
this going to fracture the Republican Party? He says it's not. But I
20:33
think it already has to a certain extent because I traveled a lot of Republicans.
20:37
I'll travel anywhere, people will give me food, uh and I and
20:41
I have heard, you know, some battle lines being drawn there. But
20:45
you know that's that's one of the that's not unique to that race, though,
20:48
Brad, because we we had this for years with the Democrats, you
20:52
know, I mean they controlled things for for eighty three years, and now
20:56
the Republicans are going to go through that. Be careful what you wish for
20:57
absolute power? You know what I'm me and uh uh and and you're going
21:02
to see more of that, and you want to see that in uh in
21:04
and let's say the governor's race December eleventh, Hopey is going to be hosting
21:08
a Gooba Toil gathering debate whatever you want to call it. The front runner,
21:12
Attorney General Patrick Morrissey, as far as I know, is not taking
21:17
part. Is that right? Yeah, that's right, And you know,
21:21
I think that is true. I think you're going to see it down the
21:22
line that there are that the Republicans now dominate West Virginia elections, but it's
21:29
a big tent and there are different flavors of Republicans, just like there used
21:33
to be different flavors of Democrats. And you know, you can see from
21:38
the top one down. But in the US Senate race, as much as
21:41
it is a race, Congressman Alex Mooney is calling Governor Justice a liberal rhino
21:49
tax and spins guy. Uh. And and so you know, you see
21:55
that all the way down the board that it's a although it is a dominant
22:00
party in West Virginia, it's it's also a somewhat fractured party. Uh.
22:07
You know, and you see it. You see it in the Senate,
22:10
the state Senate also, uh, with with sort of more populist candidates taking
22:15
on more traditional financially conservative candidates. Just I mean, it's it's you see
22:25
those divides all the way down the line. And this Attorney General's race is
22:29
a good example. Well, and again I want to throw this out there
22:33
for the second consecutive day. I gave the wrong date. Now, I
22:34
don't know what my fascination is, but it is December seventh, not the
22:37
eleventh. Two days in a row. I've said that. I don't know
22:41
why. Maybe there's another debate in my head. I don't know, but
22:45
no, it is the It is the seventh. That same day, Brad
22:48
and I talked about this a little bit yesterday. Chris Warner, the brother
22:52
of Gubernuzuel candidate and Secretary of State Mike Warner, has a gathering in Charleston
22:56
while a while his brother is about to take the stage more Town for this
23:00
debate. Chris Warner is going to be hosting an event in Charleston where he's
23:03
expected to announce he'll be running for Secretary of State, joining former House Minority
23:07
Leader and delegate and one time Democrat now Republican Doug scaff Putnam County Clerk Brian
23:12
Wood, former delegate, can read current Delegate Chris print. It's a crowded
23:17
field there for secretary of State, and it may get even more crowded er
23:22
your thoughts. Crowded field, and you know I mean Scaff made because of
23:30
the unique situation where he'd been the Democratic leader in the House of Delegates,
23:37
and so we got some juice out of those headlines. Chris Warner, I
23:42
think is the beneficiary of the Warner brand. I mean, it's it's brothers
23:49
in politics and Max two terms as the Secretary of State, and you know,
23:56
I think Chris could potentially draft off of that. But it is an
24:00
interesting race. WMV, one of our affiliates, and Tom Sussman, one
24:06
of the owners of WMV, had a really interesting poll last week and one
24:08
of the interesting things that I found was, you know, all right,
24:12
it's we're headed toward December, but just all of the people in many of
24:18
these races somewhat down ballot who remain undecided. And I think that's reasonable for
24:23
the voters. But the Attorney General's race a lot of undecided. Many people
24:32
could still come to mccusky or Stewart. The Secretary of States race is somewhat
24:37
regional in nature, and it's for grabs for anybody based on all those undecided,
24:45
and a lot of it is going to be you know, who could
24:47
raise the money to get their name out there and swing people their way.

25:14
think I heard about all of the tree puns that I can handle for a
25:18
lifetime. What does all this tree talk before we let you go? Well,
25:22
you know it's West Virginians are proud of their own, whether it is
25:27
Brad Paisley or Jennifer Garner. And in this case, I've got a tree
25:32
for you. It is a sixty eight foot sixty eight foot maybe sixty three
25:37
Norway spruce from the Mononga Hill in National Forest, and it is going to
25:44
be in a place of honor at the US Capitol during the Christmas season.
25:48
Our Chris Lawrence has done a lot of coverage of this tree and now I
25:53
am taking it over a little bit of a tree handoff here because there is
25:59
going to be a lighting ceremony at the US Capital tonight. Uh. The
26:02
West Virginia delegation expected to be there. A fourth grader who is Hoppy's first
26:07
guest today on talk line, who was the winner of an essay contest,
26:12
will be actually doing the lighting of the tree. I don't think he sets
26:17
it on fire. I think you hit the button, but he will be.
26:19
He will be lighting the tree. So that's pretty exciting for you know,
26:22
lifetime memory. Well you give me as a fourth you give you give
26:26
fourth grade day vallance something like that. Something's going up in flames. I'm
26:29
just saying, we better hope this tree has been properly watered. But in
26:34
all seriousns, I was, like I said, I was, let's see
26:36
you in Hoppy, and even the Hoppies listeners even fired back with puns,
26:40
you know, via text and whatever. And I think I think it's great.
26:41
I like that dad kind of humor, even on a non Dad.
26:45
But you know, this is kind of a big deal, Brad, for
26:48
West Virginia. It really really is. Well yeah, and you know,
26:53
West Virginia takes some pride in its world nature. It's beautiful scenery. It's
27:00
enormous and lovely trees, and so this one will be on display inside the
27:06
Beltway in the swamp, and so it's going to be a lovely ceremony.
27:11
It's tonight at five pm. I think you can watch it if you're interested,
27:15
on YouTube, either live or on delay. And we will have a
27:18
story at West Virginia metronews dot com with some quotes from the fourth grader who
27:25
has this position of honor with West Virginia's congressional delegation. The Richwood High School
27:30
marching band expected to be on site. And then as a follow up,
27:33
West Virginia's got another prominent tree. This one's going to be the National Christmas
27:37
Tree over at the White House. The ceremony on that one will be Thursday,
27:44
and it's that that has an all star cast, a cavalcade of performers,
27:51
and it's going to be on delay on CBS, I believe, So
27:56
you know watch that one that CBS is broadcast. So that might actually be
28:00
December eleventh, the day you have in mind. Maybe it's December twelfth.
28:03
But you can see the West Virginia tree in both instances, both at the
28:10
Capital for Congress and at the White House for presidential adoration. I'm just going
28:17
to start saying everything is on that particular day because I seem to be infatuated
28:21
with the date December eleventh. So I'm just going to say Christmas this year
28:23
is on December eleventh, just so you know you can do is celebrate your
28:27
anniversary and you can just like make sure you just got it nailed down,
28:32
like all right, we're doing this December eleventh, and whenever it really is,
28:36
I'll at least be taken care of real quick, Brad, because I
28:38
know you got to go what are you working on today? Other than other
28:41
than trees? What are you working on today? What are you keeping an
28:44
eye on? I actually am going to the tree lighting ceremony tonight. Yeah.
28:48
I believe Leslie Rubin of WCS Television also going to be there. Rubes
28:52
from her. Yeah, yeah. So it is a major news event in
28:57
West Virginia, you know, other than that where I'm going to go from
29:02
that to some bureaucracy here. But I do have a story up fresh this
29:07
morning about there's a there's a big lawsuit about the conditions in West Virginia's foster
29:11
care system. There is a situation a subplot within that where the evidence was
29:18
meant to be some of the emails back and forth from d HHR higher ups,
29:26
and so is what is your thinking, are you really taking the foster
29:30
care system seriously? Well, those emails got wiped during a bunch of the
29:34
turnover of those employees, whether they were tired or got fired or moved on
29:38
to other jobs or whatever. The emails got lost. They can no longer
29:42
be evidence. And so the plaintiffs are arguing that that is that essentially it's
29:51
the state's fault. The state was not careful enough with that potential evidence,
29:55
and they're asking for sanctions. Just blasted the state on it, and there's
29:59
a pretty fresh story on West Virginia metronews dot com about that situation. From
30:04
there, we'll move on to the fresh Christmas tree tonight. We did this
30:07
entire segment, Brad, and we didn't mention the governor one time. I
30:11
don't think we did not talk about the governor. So I'm sure that we're
30:15
always there's always news with the governor every day, so I'm sure you'll be
30:18
following that as well. Hey, Brad, enjoy your time there up up
30:23
in DC. Enjoy your time in the swamp watching trees go up. I
30:29
will I will adjust expectations accordingly and do my best. All right, Brad,
30:33

The gas crisis on the West Side story posted from yesterday wv Metronews dot com.
36:25
Mountaineer Gas Senior vice president Most Scaff, appearing on Hoppy yesterday, said
36:31
that there were still about one hundred customers whose homes of businesses were pending inspections.
36:37
Now, one hundred percent of the customers on the West Side have gas
36:40
service, but not all have been inspected. So that is a key thing
36:46
to remember. And when you hear us on the news and other news outlets
36:50
talking about one hundred percent having service, that doesn't mean they're all up and
36:53
running because they still have to go through these inspections, which are very very
36:58
important. A Scaff said that Mountaineer Gas is paying one hundred percent of the
37:02
bill and who will come along later and help them pay those bills? Who
37:09
knows, But I will say that the Public Service Commission has started an investigation
37:16
into the water main brink from West Virginian American water that flooded the gas lines.
37:21
There is going to be a Public Service Commission meeting today now This was
37:24
scheduled prior to all this, and it does have to do with a separate
37:32
issue involving Mountaineer Gas. This was a totally separate thing, but this was
37:37
scheduled again ahead of time. I'm not a lawyer, but I am told
37:43
that this is an evidentiary hearing into a July request by Mountaineer Gas for a
37:49
rate increase. Now we'll see how that goes. Of course, our team
37:52
here will be covering that very closely. I said, you asked for Governor's
37:59
news. He's making an announcement at eleven at the Lewisbourg Airport five million dollars
38:04
in terminal and runway upgrades. Well, there you go. It was a
38:15
busy long Thanksgiving weekend here in the valley, particularly in Charleston. Holly Jolly
38:22
Braley and Light the Night Over at the Ballpark story posted about at WCCHS network
38:27
dot com. According to a release from the Dirty Birds, your hometown baseball
38:31
team, over twenty three thousand people have already visited light to Night at the
38:39
ballpark. Now they didn't do it last night. They had scheduled a couple
38:43
of Mondays off and last night was one. So these numbers are pretty accurate
38:45
with this press release. It came out yesterday. Over twenty three thousand people
38:50
visited Light the Night at the ballpark. Saturday night alone had nearly sixty five
38:54
hundred people there, making that the largest attendance event ever in the history of
39:01
the park, Bigger than a Dirty Birds game, a concert, WVU or
39:06
Marshall Baseball, State Baseball Tournament, etc. Now, as for Holly Jolly
39:10
Brally, over ten thousand people over two days came out for this and for
39:16
all the people that were stressed out over PODA, that is the private outdoor
39:22
designated area where people can purchase alcoholic beverages from local bars and drink them in
39:29
those designated areas, there apparently were from what I'm told, no issues at
39:34
all. In fact, the restaurants and bars called it their words, record
39:39
breaking for them and they love it. So there were nearly eighteen hundred people
39:47
who rode the Holly Jolly Brally trolley. I just love saying that with Kart
39:54
donating the service, and that will continue now. It's open to ride from
40:00
four until ten every Friday through the end of the year. That's every Friday,
40:05
not every night, and just every Friday. It makes stops at the
40:07
City Center, Lee Triangle, the Ballpark, and Capitol Market. Holly Jolly
40:12
Braley in Light the Night will continue until the end of the year as well.
40:16
Capital Market is going to kick off their Holiday Village on Friday Night.
40:22
They'll run that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through the next three weekends.
40:24
Of course, Christmas, Bread and Charleston also coming up. That is coming
40:30
up here soon as well. But I want to get back to PODA for
40:32
a moment again, as according to the information, not a single issue.
40:40
It's been very successful in Huntington. Matter of fact, they are looking I
40:45
understand Huntington City Council is looking to expand it because it's been so successful,
40:52
and I know a lot of people were against it, but a lot of
40:55
that is because people just don't understand how it works. It works seemingly in
41:00
every major US city, and many here in West Virginia when it's done right,
41:05
are already doing. As I said, Huntington's already looking to expand it,
41:09
and from what I'm seeing, for all intents and purposes, it's being
41:13
done right. In Charleston. It apparently isn't the drunken spectacle that people thought
41:20
it was going to be or that many hoped it would be. Sorry,
41:24
sorry for the haters, but it seems to be working out pretty well.
41:30
Texas says the PSC investigating the gas issue on the West side. I mean
41:36
as well have Mountaineer Gas investigate themselves. Also, in two weeks, the
41:39
story will be out of mind and the rate increases will happen. The state
41:44
truly is almost heaven Texas, Dave Light, The night is first class all

good time while being responsible, says a texture TEXTA says, can you ask
46:38
Zelango or a Dirty Bird's rep why they are charging so much to go inside
46:43
and see the lights? It shouldn't take fifty bucks for a family of four
46:46
to see an enclosed space of Christmas lights. It will probably be more financially
46:50
feasible to drive to Oakle Bay. Okay, Yeah, they listen to the

47:00
answer for that. Texas Selango for US Senator West Virginia. Interesting. Thom

47:28
was a text to the show yesterday that I didn't get to quite frankly,
47:32
because when you have Mike Stewart on the show, you don't get a whole
47:36
lot else but Mike Stewart. And I don't mean that negatively toward Mike.
47:38
I'm just saying he elicits. A lot of texts or guests are like that,
47:42
and Mike is is is definitely one. The text came though, in
47:45
before Stewart went on the air, and it was a question directly to me,
47:50
and I'll paraphrase it, but it basically said, Dave, you have
47:52
said you will never vote for Trump again. Does that mean you will vote
47:57
for Biden for president? And I don't want to answer that. I can,
48:00
absolutely, without a doubt say the answer is no, I will not
48:06
vote for Joe Biden, and I also will not vote for Donald Trump.
48:08
And I know what you're saying. Quoting Getty Lee of Rush here. If
48:13
you choose not to decide, you have still made a choice. And I
48:15
get that. But just speaking for myself, me, me alone, me
48:21
only, I cannot in good conscience vote for either one. And I did
48:24
a little research. I kind of have a history of this. I did
48:29
not vote for president in two thousand and eight. Now, I voted for
48:31
all the other offices, but I did not vote for president in the year
48:35
that was two thousand and eight. That was the presidential elected election that pitted
48:38
Barack Obama against John McCain. Now let me say this for the record.
48:43
I love John McCain. I respected him for his military career above anything else.
48:47
However, John McCain, for all the good that he did, was
48:52
not an advocate for the coal industry. And in two thousand and eight,
48:57
I was living and working in Logan County, and I watched as people were
49:00
losing everything they had worked for. And no, it was not all because
49:05
of Barack Obama, because Obama wasn't in the White House yet. But I
49:08
knew what an Obama presidency would mean to the coal industry, and also knew
49:15
what a McCain presidency would mean to the coal industry. So I went with
49:21
that I mean, pardon the pun. I went with what kept the lights
49:25
on in Logan, Boom, Mingo and Wyoming Counties, the areas that was
49:29
served by the radio station where I worked at the time, and I knew
49:32
that with a good conscious I could not vote for either onet, so I
49:39
didn't. I did everything I have voted for any other race that was hunted
49:44
b out I just didn't vote for president. And if something doesn't change,
49:50
and Biden and Trump are the nominees, which I have no reasona believe that
49:53
they're not going to be I again, and I say this not proudly.
50:00
I just stated, for a matter of fact, I probably won't vote for
50:01
either one of them. Now you can call me what you want and say
50:05
about me what you want. Trust me, people, do I have zero
50:09
respect for either guy. Now, I respect the office of the presidency greatly,
50:15
which, to be honest, in my opinion, is more than either
50:20
of them do. If either of those two had any ounce of respect and
50:30
love for the country, they wouldn't be running in the first place. And
50:36
I will literally support any other Republican in the race as it stands. Now,
50:44
Okay, all right, not Ramaswamy, but any of the others,
50:47
Nikki Haley, Christie Ronde sans any of them. But I can't for me,
50:52
me alone. I cannot support Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, and I
51:00
did in twenty twenty. But from the trump disrespect to the military to the
51:09
cult like status that he pretty much demands from his followers, you can count.
51:16
You can count this old Logan County boy out. And I was speaking
51:20
only for me, no one else associated with this company, the advertisers or
51:24
whatever, just like the disclaimer says at the top of the show. But
51:30
I simply can't do it. It's a note of Biden, and it's a
51:35
note to Donald Trump for me and me, Alam, Texas, Biden has
51:39
been great for West Virginia. Why not vote for him? Have you seen
51:43
him lately? Have you watched him lately? Have you seen him attempt to
51:47
give a speech lately? Have you seen him walk lately? There's your answer,
51:54
Texas. Dave agree with the text about the price of lights of a
51:58
family of five. There's no paying that much as he lights. They need
52:01
to have family pricing. Texas Day oil and gas production is higher this year
52:10
under Biden than it ever was under Trump. Is an oil and gas production.
52:13
The litmus test for Conservatives. Day one point was the country financially better
52:19
illegal border crossing. It's almost at zero in the world, a hell of
52:22
a lot more safe place under Trump compared to the Marxists. Now, yes,
52:25
I agree with that, I do, but I'm so not going to
52:30
vote for Trump. All right, we're out coming up on the show tomorrow.
52:32
Our good friend Rich, the realtor from Meek's Realty, will be stopping
