• 3:24
  Speaker 6: so anyway, I should I knew about it. I should
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: have left a little bit earlier. But it's all right.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: I called you a two moments or two minutes before
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: time to yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: We were trying, we were trying to find you, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: you said, I'm just pulling a parking lot. I said, okay,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: that's fine because it happens. I mean, I live listen,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I live in tays Valley. I know all about it,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: but I appreciate you making the the time to be
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: here with the state. First of all, you're the executive
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: director of the Knah Valley Fellowship Fellowship Home. Tell us
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: about this particular entity and what it does.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: I'd be happy to I am the executive director of
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: the Canal Valley Fellowship Home is a sober living facility
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: for men that are battling addiction issues. They're trying to
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: get better change their lives. We've been in business since
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: nineteen sixty seven. We were originally an outreach mission of
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: the First Presbyterian Church, and our facility used to be
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: right next door to the church, and then we moved
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: and that's to your west here from the studio, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: we moved to the east from the studio across the
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: parking lot. We've been there since two thousand and five
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: and it's a fifteen bed facility at Virginia Street. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: then we have incorporated aftercare, an aftercare home called Kimball
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Hall and another apartment building called Dickinson Place, and those
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: both are on Choir Street. So as men face through
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: after they come to us, after they've been in either
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: treatment for alcohol and drug addiction or they've maybe come
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: out of incarceration, a lot of people get in trouble.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Good people do bad.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Things when they're under the influence of drugs and alcohol,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: and so we help. It's basically a structured living program
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: that helps we talk about structure, action, accountability, so one
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: day to time we get over our addiction. And I'm
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: proud to be a part of I'm a person in
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: long term recovery. I've been sober, i haven't had a drinker,
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: moved to my honoring drug for thirty seven and a
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: half years, and so it's a mission for me.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: It's a personal thing.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: I've retired from the car business, and I've done a
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: lot of things here in the Canall Valley, but I'm
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: a riverboat captain, former Captain of the Spirit of West Virginia,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: different things like that. But the Fellowship Home, I've been
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: a volunteer there for thirty years and I've been the
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: executive director of the former director, David McFarland retired in
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: two thousand and one and I applied for the job
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: and took his place.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: And so.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: It's a sense of purpose an advocation for me, rather
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: than the vocation.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about your journey to get where
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: you are and how you wanted to give back, because
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: so many times I think when people are trying to
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: overcome anything, it doesn't matter whether it's drugs, alcohol, whatever.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: You know, people sometimes I guess they find themselves talking
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to people that they can't relate to. You know, you've
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: never been in my shoes. But in your case, Dick,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: you have been in these people's shoes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: I've been in their shoes and I've been right exactly
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: where they are. And in fact, this past weekend, I
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: spent the in Pinehurst, North Carolina, at a fraternity reunion.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: I was a member the or.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: I am a member of the Phi capha Psi fraternity
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: from in Morgantown, West Virginia, Alpha.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: And.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: My addiction to alcohol blossomed while I was in college,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: and I went to this reunion with we had ninety
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: men from the middle seventies to the early eighties, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: half of them said, Captain Dick, I'm surprised you're still alive,
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: because they knew me as the drunk captain and you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: I got so it up several years ago. And they
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: and and they, you know, they're all happy to see me,
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: and they were, they were, you know, pleased to see
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: that I was doing well. And I told them about
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: our mission and what we do to help men, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: you know, so it's because of that I've been active
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: in recovery ever since then. And part of our the
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: steps is the twelfth step in the in twelve step,
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: recovery is having had a spiritual awakening as the result
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: of these steps. We tried to practice these We try
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: to stay sober and practice these principles and all our affairs,
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: so we you know, one day at a time. We
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: don't drink, we don't drug, and we practiced the principles
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: that we learned through the steps and that's that's part
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: part of the recovery process. So I get to be
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: a part of it because I've been through it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: And I would I would imagine again and we'll move
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: on from it from your story, but I would imagine
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: again that that these men that are in these homes
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: are looking at you going okay, well I can I
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: can relate to this guy?
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: You know, well I have gray hair, so is that
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: what it is?
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: But yeah, they think I'm their their grandfather.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Right, that's or whatever it takes. Hey, Dave Island Showing

  Speaker 3: a k at Meeksrealtygroup. Dot com one of the things
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: that you mentioned there and in reading about your organization
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: as I was getting ready for the show, you talked
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: about these words structure, action, and accountability. Why are those
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: things so important? And give me a definition as it
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: pertains to the Sober Living Facility what those things mean.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Well, those are the catchphrase for what basically what we do.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Because men that are mired in addiction, they're shackled to
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: a disease. We you know, American Medical Association defined are
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: they They said that alcoholism addiction to alcohol was a
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: disease back in nineteen fifty five. And drugs that particularly,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: you know, the drugs of late the opioid crisis and
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: the settlement fund that happened because of the APU week
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: crisis with you know, and that's turned into a heroin crisis,
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: has turned into a funnel crisis that's turned into just
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: these other drugs that people become addicted to. When men
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: get in a situation where they're they're hopelessly addicted, they'll
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: do things that are out of character and out of
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: there what they were raised and trained to do, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: they become they lead an unstructured life. They need to
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: learn how to get up and make their bed. We
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: provide structure for that. We provide three meals a day,
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: We provide addiction counseling, provide a lot of things.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: You know, we take action.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: We go to twelve step meetings, we go to AA
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: and n A, and we go to celebrate recovery. We've
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: got any kind of a twelve step recovery meeting. Or
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: if we go to church, if we find help in church,
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: we encourage that. We so we take action and then
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: we we're accountable to one another. We drug test our men,
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: and you know, routinely randomly on a week basis. They
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: don't know when it's going to happen. So in the
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: beginning phases, when they still have cravings, we want to
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: make sure that they you know, they got to have
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: a desire to want to be with us. And when
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: they when we when we test them, they that makes
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: them feel comfortable. So there it's a sober environment where
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: they're safe. We don't lock our doors on the inside.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: We you know, we we're accountable to one another in
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: the house and and we we just practice.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: Good wholesome basically wholesome living.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: We learned how making our bed, believe it or not
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: making your bed start your day right, You say your
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: prayers and make your bed when you come home that evening.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: If you've had a bad day and you come in
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: home into a nice room with a made bed, you
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: can lay down and take a nap. And it's just
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: organized as reorganize the things that gets on here.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: It's about much more than making the bed correct. It's
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: it's it's kind of symbolism a little bit. It just
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: said it kind of it kind of starts your day.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: If you had to guess Nick, over the years, give
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: me a ballpark, how many how many men you've been
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: able to help?
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: We Well, we have records and we we the older
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: records are not as good as the new records, but
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: we've helped over two thousand men find sobriety and recovery
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: over this since nineteen sixty seven.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: How difficult is it to get in there? And what's
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: the process like, Because that's what we hear a lot
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: with people that are addicts. I'll say, well, I you
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: know them, or their family will say, well, we want
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: to get help, but there's no beds available. How difficult
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and what's the process like to get in.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Well, the process with us It starts with an application
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: and so it's on our website. It's kV FH dot
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: o RG. That's our initials. Canall Value Fellowship Home dot org.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: And there's an application process. You fill the application out
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: that goes directly to my computer. We review the application
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: with the house manager and some of the other people
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: the team at our house, and we do an interview
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: and sometimes we do two interviews with people. We usually
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: have right now, we have a waiting list to get
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: in our house, and that's true when we've heard the
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: rumors that it is true. It's hard to get in,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: especially in a nice facility like ours, and we look
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: for people they're serious. We want to hear that they're
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: not just wanting to get out of jail, or they're
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: not wanting to get their wife back, or they're not
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: wanting to you know, they're doing it for their because
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: they want to get better from their no'm me.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Jump in here. What do you look for if you're
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: having a set down with these men that lets you
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: know or let your staff know, this guy is really serious.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: This guy's just not trying to get his family back
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: or trying to stay out of jail. To make you know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: to make the parole officer happy or whatever. What what
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: do you see in their eyes? What do you what
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: do you pick up on that says, hey, this guy
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: is legit, this guy's a real deal.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: Well willingness, willingness to do whatever there is, suggested our
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: assistant manager House director, Jay has been with us nineteen
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: years and he he can sniff out bs. Basically it's good.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: But that's the scientific term.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: Yes, so he can tell one of guys not authentic.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: And you know, we're not perfect. We can't tell that
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: every time. You know, we we we're you know, we're
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: impostors and we can put on.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: A good show.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: But but we look for the guys that are serious
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: and we talked to them. One of the questions is
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: are you willing to do anything steak to get sober?
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: We can say sober and you know, if the answer
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: is yes, are you willing to work at a fast
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: food restaurant? Because all our men, after they're there for
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: two weeks, they have to get a job within two
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: weeks and they pay a small program feed. That's another
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: accountable thing that they do is pay a program fee
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: to offset our cost of operating the facility. And you know,
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: if they say they're willing to work at McDonald's and
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: flip Hamburgers. If that's what it takes, then that's a
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: good sign. When they say no, I you know, I
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: have an accounting degree. I want to you know, I'm
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: going to go back to arenot fosters to an accounting firm?
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: You know, we want the guys that are going to
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: come in because we want them to get a job.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: We often tell them their jobs have to fit into
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: our program because their sobriety comes first. So we say
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: that that you have to get a job, not the job.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: You'll get the job later on. And so it's just steps.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: It's like it's like steps of a ladder. I mean,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: you've got to start at the bottom and kind of
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: work your way up. What you talked about the number
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: of men that you've seen, Can you give me a
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: success rate or.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: I can by that statistically, I can qualify it, Yes, sir,
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: there's a there's a nice video on our website and
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: there's some YouTube videos that Josh Lewis did for our
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: recent fundraiser. But what we found is that our minimum
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: commitments six months if you come and stay at knaw
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: Valley Fellowship poem for six months, your chances of maintaining,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: staying and maintaining sobriety as long as you stay in
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: recovery is one and three. It's thirty three percent. That's
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: that's a pretty that's a statistic that is real. But
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: if you stay with us a year, we believe that
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: a minimum really should be a year. If you experienced
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: four seasons, your birthdays, your grandmother's death, your the new job,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: a baby being born, somebody you know, a tragedy, or
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: a big life event, and you've experienced all four seasons,
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: there's something about it, a magical about a year. If
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: you get a year sobriety and you stay with us
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: and you stay active in recovery, you'r changing to go
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: up to seventy percent. And the caveat is staying active
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: in recovery. We you know, part of our mission, part
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: of that action and accountability is getting involved in the
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: recovery process. And there's a recovery community here in the
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Kanal Valley that is the biggest in West Virginia, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: there are people that will help you, and you get
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: to help people. After you've been helped, you get to
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: help people. And so we the success is that you
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: know that we you know, we worked that twelve step.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: We carry the message to the sick and suffering, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: so if you stay with us for three years, we
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: have sober living apartments and a lot of men have
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: to get their CPS cases taken care of.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: They've got to get their teeth fixed.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: We help them get their teeth fixed through grants here
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: in the valley through the Greater Canal Valley Foundation and
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: the Palatine Foundation.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: We do.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: The United Ways a big supporter of ours, and they
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: help us with basic needs, and so we collaborate with
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: different people West Virginia Health Right people in the community.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: If we keep them three years and they're active in
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: our program and they're given back and they keep going
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: to meetings, they keep doing the things that they understand,
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: our success rate is nearly eighty percent, and we measure
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: that measure of success is they're still active and they're
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: in the program, they'll stay sober for five years. There're
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: twenty percent twenty to twenty five percent that fall off
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: that may not get it, and they may not get
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: it the first time. Some guys don't get it the
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: first time. A lot of men, you know that we
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: lose men. A lot of men die from addiction. I
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: mean that the overdose rate is horrible, but it's it's
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: been proven that structured living after treatment. You know, your
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: brain chemistry has to be rearranged, and you have to
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: get the mindset that I want to get better, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: then I'm an addict or I'm an alcoholic and I've
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: got to do whatever it takes to stay sober.

  Speaker 3: Well not yet, No, now it does, and I'm sorry.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: So the Governor UH has been having a lot of
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: press events lately, which is good for the press covering it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Though generally speaking, when I hear from from some of
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: you folks is you don't always know what the subject
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: of said pressers is until you get there, or you
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: tune in online or whatever. Yesterday kind of that way,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: in Bridgeport, and Mike Nolton covered He writes about at
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: wv metronews dot com, the governor calling it a new
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: way to think about roads, bridges, et cetera in West Virginia.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: What did you take from it?
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: I did watch it, as you said, Metro News intrepid
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: reporter Mike Milton was there on scene.
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: I will just say from a basic and maybe not
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: very interesting viewpoint, it was hard to hear the audio.
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: Uh it was it was kind of hard to make
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: out what it was outside. It was breezy. It seemed
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: like there was maybe a little bit of a microphone
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: connection problem. But the governor, the current governor, does want
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: to make highway maintenance a priority, had lots of people
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: there backing them up. I think it's one that resonates
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: with West Virginian's You know, we had a former flagship
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: talk show program host who presented the listeners with hashtag
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: ft d R fixed the darn roads. The prior governor,
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: i would say, also made an emphasis of highway and
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: bridge maintenance, construction and repair. However, this governor drew a
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: distinction yesterday and said that much of the work under
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: the prior governor this is me paraphrasing, was inefficient. Had
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: some criticism for Roads to Prosperity. If you'll remember Roads
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: to Prosperity, that there was a statewide vote on the
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: authorization of those bonds, occurred on a Saturday. It was
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: fairly low turnout. That money then was meant to be
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: used for I'm being critical of Morsey sound and now
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: I can hear my own audio crackling. Anyway. The more
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: the critique is that that money got used fast and
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: there are still many years ahead of to pay those
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: bonds down. And he said that means that for governors
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: like him in the future, the money is limited, but
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: he intends to take a data driven approach to the
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: kind of highway repair people expect.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Here's a fun fact on that Roads to Prosperity election,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: which you mentioned was on summer in twenty eighteen. That
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: was the first election in the state of West Virginia
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: to require voter I d I just thought you should
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: know that that's a fun fact. I learned my time
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: in say government.
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: Fun fact, and it was a good test case because
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: the actual participation on that Saturday election, which as I recall,
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: was a heavy football watching Saturday. Yeah, it was it
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: was a fairly low turnout. Yeah, very and for good
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: or bad, West Virginia has the consequences have been that
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: the state drew down millions of dollars in road bonds
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: and built a bunch of new roads. In the meantime,
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: it feels like, I mean, this is this is anecdotal
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: for me. It feels like people's complaints about the highway
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: quality has has not gone down.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: And what I gathered in listening later and we've actually
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: played back some of that audio on Metro News midday afterday, Brad,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: what I gathered is the governor again, like you, I
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: don't want to paraphrase, but I think what I what
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I gathered from this, Brad from the governor is that, Okay,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: it's great that we have built new roads, but what
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: about the roads we have now? Not everybody, I mean
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: I travel on an interstate every day to come to work,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: but also travel on some non interstate roads that are
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: in pretty horrible shape right now to get to the interstates.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And I think that's what a lot of people have
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: concerns with. Is that what you hear as well as
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: some of these I mean the back roads, the hollow roads, whatever,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: are are in pretty pretty crappy shape, Brad.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, potholes, grain edge, the I mean even the major highways.
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: There's bobly construction going on, but there's orange cones everywhere,
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: and I think as a it might not be the intent,
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: but I think what you hear as a critique of
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: that is we're not ever going to finish this. There's
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: been orange cones for a weeks. I have to go
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: thirty in the fifty zone all the time.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean certainly, Yeah, those of us here
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: in the Kanaw Valley in anytime you travel what we
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: call Advantage Valley from Huntington to Charleston, you'll certainly realize
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: what we're talking about. Dave Alan showing five any Live

  Speaker 3: Visit Bridge Valley dot edu. They're also having an open
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: house out there tonight. I'll give you a quote here, Brad.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: This is from the governor yesterday. There were some divisions
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: within the state Department of Transportation that have five assistant
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: directors and in most cases it was unnecessary. In quote, now, Brad,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: you start talking about taking away some of the bureaudic
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: the bureaucratic jobs, if that, if that's what they were,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: and for those some of those in state government, them's
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: fighting words. Buddy.
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: Uh, you know, I it was an interesting thing you
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: pointed out. I guess, I guess I would like to
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: hear more about specifics. It felt like early in the
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: Justice administration there actually was a problem employing enough people
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: in highways, particularly engineers. A lot of them had left
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: and Justice was trying to hire more. Justice Justice had
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: practically a meme of complaining that the Mansion administration had
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: gotten rid of all the great alls the highway equipment.
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: Justice was very upset about the acquisition of grade alls. So,
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's it's all in eurovision of what the
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: department should be, and it's efficiency levels and what's required
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: to do a good job. Clearly, Governor Morrissey has a
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: different view of that than its predecessor, and has blamed
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: his predecessor for some of the structure, some of the priorities.
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: That doesn't surprise me, you know, when it's somebody a
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: relatively new office holder able to say, oh, the previous
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: administration didn't do it right, it's it comes across I
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: think as more more sort of grassroots, more more natural
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: when the prior administration was the opposite party. When it's
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: the same party, are you guys on the same team
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: or not?
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: But it started out being the opposite party, you know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: in the before the governor made to switch over from
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: from uh, from Democrat to a Republican as he did.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Brad, It just seems to me, And
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: that's a very good point. You reference that. How Jim Justice,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: you know, at some point would would take a shot
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: maybe at previous administrations.
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: But it seems to me and he never comes out
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: that I've heard anyway. He never Governor Morrissey never comes
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: out and mentions the Justice administration by name. But it
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: seems to me, bubbling under the surface there that there
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: might be some some bad blood still there, because it
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: seems like every opportunity right or wrong, that the governor, uh,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: the current Governor Morrissey gets cast a little shade over
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: on the previous administration of now Senator than Governor Jim Justice,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: like he kind of takes that opportunity. Is that what
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: you see as well?
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, it feels like there are there are invitations
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: to comparison, and I mean Morrissey has his own idea
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: of his administration's priorities and its values. But this was
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: an example yesterday of drawing a comparison with what the
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: Justice administration had done, in particular being critical of Roads
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: to Prosperity. I should say that Metro News Midday, which
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: is the program that you co host, reached out to
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: the to now Senator Justice. His staff provided a response
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: which was, you know, fairly gracious, just you know, they
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: supported Roads to Prosperity. Thought I got a lot done.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: But there have been other instances. I mean, within a
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: week of taking office, Governor Morrissey pointed to what he
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: called a four hundred million dollar gap in the upcoming
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: budget year. He was pointing towards the budget year that
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: begins this July first, and said that his administration isn't
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: going to fill those gaps with one time dollars. So
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: that was the first line in the sand where Morrisy
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: said we're going to do it differently and was, you know,
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: critical of the way Justice had done the budgeting. Didn't
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: mention Justice by name, but that's what you took away
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: last week or the week before. There was a press
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: conference where Governor Morrissey said that his administration is going
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: to be more open about questions regarding child welfare and
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: outlined some other things, but again without naming Justice. He
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: was critical of that administration, described it as being too
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: closed down. So there have been yes, instance after instance,
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: and I mean, it's it's it's intriguing the conflict. It
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: is a little bit awkward because it is one big
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: Republican tent with these guys, and Jim Justice hasn't gone away.
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: He's now a US Senator, so he's, you know, right
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: there taking part in our politics.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I had somebody who is in the Republican Party said,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: and they're not in a position of leadership, but they
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: are a Republican that said to me the other day,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: are in a conversation not on the air, that said,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: people can say what they want about about Jim Justice
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: at the time he was governor, but he had one
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: of the depending on which pole, you look at the
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: top three or four approval ratings of any governor in
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: America at one point, and they were asking would the
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: has there been any approval rating type polls out yet
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: from blankenshep or others. Uh, that's Mark not don about
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: the approval of approval rating of Governor Morrisey and how
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: the two would would compare to each other. I mean,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: and to be fair, you know, Governor Morsey just took
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: office a few months ago and the session just wrapped
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: up and so on and so forth. Uh, but I mean,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I'm just kind of curious as to as to what
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: those would look like.
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: Let me buy myself some time because I am using
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: my search engine.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: But well, while you do that, let me just say

  Speaker 3: in there to give you the little Time brand.
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: Oh thanks, yet I have failed to use it. So
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: let me let me just say maybe that I was
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: trying to look up Morning Consults, governor rankings and what
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: I came up with was Morning Consult Pro, which makes
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: you pay for a subscription, and we ain't doing it,
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: and well I don't have one, but we're still.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Trying to pay for the studio here.
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: So you know, uh, but I did see one from
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: Morning Consults.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: I thought, okay, well, I'll tell you what we can.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: We can look that up and and maybe get a
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: result to somebody at a at a future time. How's that?
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I do want to ask you about.
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: This multi states? It wasn't Morning Consult, it's multi state.
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: Has Morrisey fairly well, number tied for number seventeen in
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: America and popularity overall. Let's see, I'm trying to read
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: the church as I.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Mean, really, Brad, that's not bad. That's not bad at all.
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: No, it's not bad at all.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: It's not Jim Justice numbers. But again, to be fair
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: to the governor, he just his administration just took over
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: a few months ago, so that there's time to get there.
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know, Morrissey won with a plurality. It
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: was well, he won he won the primary, which West
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: Virginia is back to that being the main election. He
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: won the primary in a plurality among you know, four
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: leading candidates, so it was reasonable to split that. But
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: then you know one but general election fairly overwhelmingly, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: I will, I will send this to your I'm going
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: to send this to Dave Allen's phone. I happen to
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: know the number, okay, and then if you want to
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: play around.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: With it, I will. I've had the same cell phone
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: numbers since like nineteen ninety seven, so everybody knows Dave
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: out all right, all right, all right, before we let
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: you go, I always ask you, what else are you
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: looking at today? That's kind of a running joke between
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: me and you. But I know what people were looking
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: at yesterday is about ten thousand gallons of water flowing
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: through the Capitol basement where people like you and Steven Allen,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Adams and Amelia a Million nicely and others work from.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: You know, it's kind of an off season, so I
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: don't know that anybody. Well, Stephen was probably there because
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: I think he actually made the call to Jeff Jenkins
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: and said, hey, we got a mess out here. I
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: actually did talk to Mike Queen with the Secretary of
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: State's office a little bit earlier, and that the basement
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: area houses not only the press room, but also the
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I T Department for the Secretary of State's office and
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: several other facilities. I think what the title was, but
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: it's like a legislative services or something is down there
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: as well. What are you hearing about this mess at
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: the capitol yesterday? I know they're working to clean it up,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: but it was a mess yesterday. We got a picture,
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, posted a WV metro news
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: dot com about it.
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: It was a mess. There are offices, including the pressroom
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: that have been affected. There is a story at metronews
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: dot com if people who want to know more, it's
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: it's less about the pressroom, but more about the other
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: office right than that that that part of the building.
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: I will just say I am it is good that
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: the hot Morrissey summer has not yet officially begun. It
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: would not be a great situation at this moment to
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: be in a like a special session, for example, we'd
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: all have to find a less soggy place to work.
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: So hopefully it is dried up before we wind up
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: in there for a special session on PIA or anything else.

  Speaker 3: Smith was sixteen at the time and was accused of
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: shooting and killing his stepfather, his mother, and two young brothers.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: One was twelve and the other was three. This took
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: place on Cemetery Hill in Elkview. Hold the phone, though,
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: because yesterday the State Supreme Court of Appeals ruled to
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: vacate the sentence, claiming that the Kanawha County Circuit Court
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: messed up, saying that the court improperly informed the jury
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: that if Smith were to be convicted a first degree murder,
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: he would be eligible for parole because of his juvenile status. Now,
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: Justice Haley Bunn wrote the majority opinion, while Justice Tim
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Armstea Armstead dissented. Both opinions are contained as part of
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Aaron Parker's story at wv Metronews dot com. So it
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: looks like Smith is now going to get a new trial.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: And you know, I'm no legal expert, and by the way,
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: no datesmen set for the triphy. I'm not a legal expert,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: but I think what I'm reading into the story here
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: is that by simply uttering that in court, it makes
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: the whole thing null and void. And so he's going
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: to get a new trial. And this is the guy again,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: he was sixteen at the time that he is alleged
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: to I guess I have to go back to saying
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: the ledge now alleged of committing the crime. So now
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: there's going to be a totally new trial. No date
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: has been set. He is accused again of killing his
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: mother's stepfather and two siblings, one of which was only
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: three years old. It happened on a cemetery here hill
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: at Elview. So an interesting story. Indeed, Aaron Parker did
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: a great job with it over at the website wvmetronews
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: dot com. And continuing with the crime blotterer, this one
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: from South Charleston Police say a man was stabbed several times,
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: apparently a domestic dispute early this morning. It was reported
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: at around three point thirty this morning at an apartment
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: complex and the twelve hundred block of East Village Drive
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: in South Charleston. Man and woman involved. Apparently the man
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: was stabbed up to fourteen times. The woman also injured.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: And that's all the information at this time that we
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: have available. We will have more, of course, available on
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: the website when it becomes public knowledge and statements are released.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Text says props to John Fetterman for calling out his
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: party for refusing to condemn these riots. Oh that's right,
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: it's not January sixth, so they're perfectly cool with all this.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: In fact, many are actually defending these domestic terrorists. Exactly
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: why I walked away years ago. I'm presuming the texture
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: mean they walked away from the Democratic Party. Look I
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: I I don't. I don't disagree with anything the text
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: are said at all. I don't agree. I don't. I
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: have questions about the way the Trump administration is handling it.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: But as far as as as the unlawfulness that is
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: going on there, I have no issue with cracking down
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: at all on that. I just have I have some
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: quite I don't even have issues. I think I have
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: questions on the way the Trump administration is handling I
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: do find it very is heartening, though to hear the
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: president he actually yesterday used the term insurrection of talking
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: about what's going on out there in Los Angeles and
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: those that failed to see the correlation between Los Angeles
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: and January sixth, I can't understand your thinking on that,
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: although it was a I guess a much, but I mean,
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: what you're seeing on television is about a two to
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: three block area of Los Angeles. This is not widespread,
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: and I'm not defending it by any stretch of the imagination,
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: but it's this is not like they're burning down Rodeo
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: or Beverly Hills. You know, like Danny and I talked
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: about on the show yesterday, where he spends a lot
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: of time an hour away, there's nothing going on. It
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: seems to be in this area. But you know, I'm
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: not defending what's going on out there at all, but
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing I would like to see.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: We talk a lot in this country about illegal immigration,
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: which is a major problem, and I say crackdown on
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: at one hundred percent. But I'm talking about the people
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: that come here and want and actually want to contribute,
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: but haven't yet gone about it the legal way. I
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: would like to see in this country US go after
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: the people that are hiring them. And guess what their
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: the color of their skin ain't brown. You go to
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: any large city and you go buy your And I'm
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: not picking on home depot or lows. I'm just saying
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: any any large scale store like that, a hardware store,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: number whatever. I saw it firsthand. I was in North
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: Carolina visiting some of my wife's family a couple of
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: years ago, and I think I mentioned on the show
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: I had my brother in law asked me to take
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: a ride down to a local home depot in North Carolina.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: Not that I'm actually going to be able to, you know,
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: do anything with a hammer, but but I rode with
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: my brother in law, Johnny, in a pickup truck, so
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: that makes me tough. And we went to a local
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: home depot and I saw all these people standing around
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: and I see these contractors pulling up in other pickup
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: trucks and getting these people and put them on the
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: back of the truck and taking them out, And I think,
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: what's going on here? He goes, Oh, yeah, they're they're
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants and they come here and the local contractors
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: come down pick them up and then take them and
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: put them to work. Okay, that's a crime in and
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: of itself. How about we go after those people too. Yeah,
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: we go after the people that are illegal immigrants. I
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: have no issue with that at all. But how about
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: we also go after the people that are hiring them,
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: and those aren't brown people, those are white people. Just say,
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Jack says, why are the looters and rioters lumped in
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: with Democrats? They aren't flying flags with names of their
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: favorite politician, says a Texter TJ. Meadows flying the flag
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: of whatever. If you had a flag, TJ, what would
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: be on it? A T A J and an M
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: A T and a J and an M TJN. That's
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: how I signed everything. When you said T I thought
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: you meant golf tea. No, my initial is fin TJN. Alright,
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: what you got on the show today, buddy?
• 51:53
  Speaker 16: So a pretty good show. Coming up, we'll start with
• 51:55
  Speaker 16: State Senator Ben Queen. He'll talk about that revolutionary highway
• 51:58

  Speaker 14: He was there.

• 52:07

• 52:12
  Speaker 16: Greg noon to talk about. Is it legal for Trump
• 52:15
  Speaker 16: to federalize the National Guard? The politics, the Insurrection Act.
