3:11
Speaker 6: Likes more than I can tell.
3:13
Speaker 3: Is it like you've seen a professional about that.
3:15
Speaker 6: I'm extremely humbled and honored to be with you today.
3:20
Speaker 4: I thought it was fear.
3:21
Speaker 6: Of I'm not scared of you. I'm just like in awe.
3:23
Speaker 4: How you doing your honor?
3:26
Speaker 6: Always love it when you call me that is there,
3:29
Speaker 6: it is, But you're not going to talk about it.
3:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll tell you about it.
3:33
Speaker 3: One of those huh. All right, it's come to judge.
3:38
Speaker 6: So inside the huddle, day Tony Creedy coming to Charleston,
3:40
Speaker 6: couldn't be more excited.
3:41
Speaker 3: All right, So let's talk about Christians the benefit of
3:44
Speaker 3: the United Way of Central West Virginia. I want to
3:45
Speaker 3: talk about the United Way of Central West Virginia. I mean,
3:48
Speaker 3: I have you, you and and and the staff on
3:51
Speaker 3: you know, you've got a great crew. They were carrying
3:52
Speaker 3: everybody a United Way. But I want to know exactly
3:56
Speaker 3: what does the United Way Central West Virginia. Do you
3:58
Speaker 3: give me some things that people may not know.
4:00
Speaker 6: Sure, and we hear that a lot, so thanks for ask.
4:02
Speaker 6: And we do two different things. So we fund funded
4:05
Speaker 6: programs through nonprofits in our community. We fund thirty seven
4:09
Speaker 6: of those currently and they need to follow in the
4:11
Speaker 6: impact areas we think are important, so that's education, healthcare,
4:14
Speaker 6: financial stability, and then the safety nets like our Red
4:18
Speaker 6: Cross and our homeless shelters and our things like Man
4:21
Speaker 6: and Meal and Salvation Army so shelters, those kinds of things.
4:24
Speaker 6: So that's what we do on one side, and then
4:26
Speaker 6: on the other side of the house you mentioned, Carrie,
4:28
Speaker 6: we do community impact through our internal programs. So we
4:31
Speaker 6: have the Equal Fitting Shoe Fund where we buy shoes
4:33
Speaker 6: for kids at the request of teachers and counselors, so
4:35
Speaker 6: it's direct connection to education. Kids get the shoes delivered
4:39
Speaker 6: to the school, shoes go on kid, kid goes home
4:41
Speaker 6: with new shoes, no tags, et cetera. We have opportunity
4:46
Speaker 6: to work with my Free Taxes and taxis incomes. People
4:49
Speaker 6: can come to our office in certain income categories and
4:51
Speaker 6: mostly seniors and young people can get their taxes done
4:54
Speaker 6: for free. We're able to help with things like today
4:58
Speaker 6: and yesterday and the rest of the week. We can
4:59
Speaker 6: put press release is about cooling stations because people are
5:02
Speaker 6: really really hot and need to know, not just people
5:05
Speaker 6: who may be experiencing homelessness, but people who live in
5:07
Speaker 6: homes without air conditioning.
5:08
Speaker 3: They're a lot of really really.
5:09
Speaker 6: Hot and we want to care for people in all
5:11
Speaker 6: those capacities and the same when it gets really cold,
5:14
Speaker 6: and we help with the warming centers. What I would
5:17
Speaker 6: say to people. And then there's two one one, right,
5:18
Speaker 6: So we operate West Virginia two one one within our
5:20
Speaker 6: office where you can call any time twenty four to
5:23
Speaker 6: seven and request for your own personal emergency. So it's
5:26
Speaker 6: not nine one one, but it's about to face eviction
5:29
Speaker 6: or my utilities are cut off, and you know what
5:31
Speaker 6: we hear from teachers sometimes and we really think this
5:33
Speaker 6: is a piece of work that we're going to expand on.
5:36
Speaker 6: But you know, just because a child may come to
5:38
Speaker 6: school dirty for three days doesn't mean they're in imminent danger.
5:41
Speaker 6: It just may mean they're family might not be able
5:43
Speaker 6: to pay to get their water turned on to do
5:45
Speaker 6: the laundry. And so you know, we want to help
5:47
Speaker 6: people and we want to meet them where they are,
5:49
Speaker 6: and we want to provide access to the things that
5:51
Speaker 6: make families whole, and so that's you know, primarily people
5:54
Speaker 6: who are working. We know in West Virginia that half
5:56
Speaker 6: of us are living paycheck to paycheck and that's a lot.
6:00
Speaker 6: And when you're when you're working one or two jobs
6:02
Speaker 6: and you've got two or three kids and you're trying
6:04
Speaker 6: to get there on a bus can be tough sometimes.
6:06
Speaker 6: So call us is what I would say. If you
6:08
Speaker 6: want to know more, or if you need assistance. We
6:11
Speaker 6: can't always help, not going to lie. It depends on funding,
6:14
Speaker 6: and which is why tonight is so important. All the
6:16
Speaker 6: money we raise goes right into that community impact fund
6:19
Speaker 6: so that we can fund those program partners that you
6:21
Speaker 6: know are working in recovery and after school programs, things
6:24
Speaker 6: like the Boys and Girls Club. All those things can
6:27
Speaker 6: happen because people say, yep, I want to see Tony Creedy,
6:30
Speaker 6: so I'll buy a ticket, or I'll buy five dollars
6:32
Speaker 6: for a duck, or I'll vote for a dancer. And
6:34
Speaker 6: you know, so we want to get out there with
6:36
Speaker 6: the friend raisers. But the only reason we do that
6:38
Speaker 6: is so we can put that back out into the cap.
6:40
Speaker 3: All this stuff costs money, and I love that and
6:42
Speaker 3: of course you mentioned the ducks and you do the
6:43
Speaker 3: dancing with the stars saying this is also a big
6:45
Speaker 3: event because it brings in and that's one of the
6:47
Speaker 3: things I like about how you do your fundraising. There's
6:50
Speaker 3: something for every one.
6:51
Speaker 6: We thank you for saying that.
6:52
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, and I would think it appeals to
6:55
Speaker 3: a wide range of people. You know that the person
6:58
Speaker 3: may not necessarily buy a duck, but they're going to
6:59
Speaker 3: come out to talk Mountain their football, you guys. And
7:01
Speaker 3: that's where I wanted to bring Coop in because this
7:04
Speaker 3: is a big event every year, Coop from Mountaineer fans,
7:07
Speaker 3: this is like and the fact that it's happening on
7:09
Speaker 3: August first is I heard Chris and Joe Bricado talking
7:12
Speaker 3: in the morning news this morning. It sounds good to
7:14
Speaker 3: say we're going to be playing football at the end
7:16
Speaker 3: of the month.
7:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, later this month.
7:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.
7:18
Speaker 4: Yeah.
7:18
Speaker 7: That's a great feeling, is when you can talk about
7:20
Speaker 7: that you're getting ready to play ball. I love doing
7:22
Speaker 7: things like this. If there's anything and you know this, Dave,
7:24
Speaker 7: with the power of radio, we do what we do
7:26
Speaker 7: and we love our jobs and the things that we do,
7:29
Speaker 7: whether it be news or entertainment, or sports or whatever
7:32
Speaker 7: it is. But when we're able to take what we
7:34
Speaker 7: do and harness that power to help something like the
7:37
Speaker 7: United Way, we get to do what we do. We're
7:39
Speaker 7: doing a show, we're having fun. Dave and I are
7:41
Speaker 7: going to have our normal show today for the most part.
7:43
Speaker 7: So there's going to be all the hid jenks that
7:44
Speaker 7: you're used to, but when you're able to attach that
7:46
Speaker 7: to something that has meaning and reason behind it, and
7:50
Speaker 7: that there's meaning and reason to use radio to help
7:52
Speaker 7: with that. I always enjoy doing this with United Way
7:55
Speaker 7: and working with charities because that is truly the power
7:57
Speaker 7: of community and radio and the things that we do,
7:59
Speaker 7: and always enjoy that, and we'll always do this with
8:02
Speaker 7: the United Way as long as Margaret keeps inviting.
8:04
Speaker 4: Us out to do that.
8:05
Speaker 7: As far as what they're going to find out, of course,
8:07
Speaker 7: Tony comes He's done this. How many years Tony done this?
8:10
Speaker 8: You know?
8:10
Speaker 6: I think I've bet this is starting my eighth year
8:12
Speaker 6: here in Charleston, which is crazy sauce, and I think
8:14
Speaker 6: we did it like the next year, and so I
8:16
Speaker 6: think this.
8:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, So Tony comes in and this is a it's
8:20
Speaker 7: a neat program. If you've never been before, so there's
8:22
Speaker 7: a little bit of a Q and A session. Tony
8:24
Speaker 7: just basically talks about his expectations for the season, mostly football.
8:29
Speaker 7: He'll talk a little bit about basketball stuff too if
8:31
Speaker 7: it comes up, but and you get some of the insights.
8:33
Speaker 7: He reserves some things too. So the nice thing about
8:36
Speaker 7: Tony is he's a showman and he knows what he's doing,
8:39
Speaker 7: and so Tony will tease, like on sports Line leading up, Hey,
8:42
Speaker 7: I have this scoop about so and so player, but
8:44
Speaker 7: you're not going to find out unless you are at
8:47
Speaker 7: the at the inside the huddle of it.
8:48
Speaker 3: So he's going to.
8:49
Speaker 7: Have some you know scoops. I mean, we're not talking
8:51
Speaker 7: about you know that Deon Sanders' kids transferring into the
8:54
Speaker 7: g or something that it's nothing huge like it, but
8:57
Speaker 7: just maybe a conversation he had with Neil Brown something
9:00
Speaker 7: along those lines, and some insights that he's gathered from that.
9:03
Speaker 7: And he does a great job of doing that and
9:04
Speaker 7: connecting Mountaineer Nation, the ones with the charitable heart that
9:08
Speaker 7: show up at this with what they're looking forward to
9:11
Speaker 7: in the season and kind of putting all this together.
9:13
Speaker 7: It's really a great program and gets it just ready
9:15
Speaker 7: for the season, because there's nothing like you. Hear you,
9:18
Speaker 7: hear the play by play voice of the Mountaineer. He's
9:20
Speaker 7: telling you about what's going on. Expectations are fairly high
9:22
Speaker 7: this season. It's a good time, it's it's a good
9:24
Speaker 7: thing to be part of.
9:26

Speaker 6: their their better halves, and some of our sponsors certainly
10:14
Speaker 6: come as women, but for the most part, it's men.
10:16
Speaker 6: And I just always say, you know, they're loud and
10:18
Speaker 6: rowdy for that first hour. And when Tony gets introduced
10:21
Speaker 6: and I tell my husband this, he looks at Tony
10:23
Speaker 6: Creedy like he does not look at Margaret, only only
10:25
Speaker 6: you know, and it becomes silence in the room because
10:28
Speaker 6: people do hang on, you know, the word of Tony
10:30
Speaker 6: and what he's going to talk about. And we do
10:32
Speaker 6: have great silent auctions, and we have a great live
10:34
Speaker 6: auction of Tony a seat at Tony's radio show that
10:36
Speaker 6: people really come out for and that's super important to them.
10:40
Speaker 6: But we've got a framed, beautiful picture of the nineteen
10:43
Speaker 6: ninety three Miami game and so it's the you know,
10:46
Speaker 6: largest crowd ever at Mountaineer Field and never will be
10:48
Speaker 6: because of the reconfigure. So if you're interested in that,
10:51
Speaker 6: you were there at that game, you remember how cold
10:53
Speaker 6: it was the.
10:54
Speaker 3: Day after we we talking about this early was a
10:56
Speaker 3: day after Thanksgiving. Yeah, I remember it.
10:57
Speaker 6: Well, there's a rumor that there were no heaters on
10:59
Speaker 6: the Maia Me side of the field, and I'm sure
11:01
Speaker 6: Tony's going to have some stuff. Let him know we
11:03
Speaker 6: had it, so he's going to do that live as well.
11:05

11:07
Speaker 6: see friends that you've you know, cherished. We've seen a
11:10
Speaker 6: lot of the same people every year. But it's a
11:11
Speaker 6: highlight to have Dale and mister Weekly with us as well.
11:14
Speaker 3: And the Baltswyoda Events Center. This is over where Baltoyota
11:17
Speaker 3: is over on Patrick Street and what they what they
11:20
Speaker 3: did in nineteen oh five, what they did was they
11:22
Speaker 3: took a showroom and basically and I think hats off
11:24
Speaker 3: to the folks at Baltoyota for doing this because they
11:27
Speaker 3: have several events there throughout there, all charitable in nature.
11:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, you have to be a nonprofit and you know,
11:33
Speaker 6: you can let us know if you need that space.
11:34
Speaker 6: But they're Shambald Bud Dixon, their team phenomenal to let
11:38
Speaker 6: us come in and really just kind of take over
11:39
Speaker 6: the parking lot. But it's after hours, so there's lots
11:42
Speaker 6: and lots of parking. You don't have to worry about
11:44
Speaker 6: that it's a big and a great yeah, and we
11:46
Speaker 6: fill it up with chairs and tables and put Tony

Speaker 4: Hell, yeah, happens a lot.
12:11
Speaker 7: And if you come up at the right time, you know,
12:12
Speaker 7: we'd play in or out around around five twenty. If
12:14
Speaker 7: you come up at the right time, we might be
12:15
Speaker 7: able to corral you in to play a little fan
12:18
Speaker 7: interer out.
12:18
Speaker 9: So what it officially starts at five thirty five to thirty,
12:21
Speaker 9: you know, we do literally just at that little you know,
12:24
Speaker 9: time for everybody to eat and drink and be merry,
12:26
Speaker 9: and then we'll have Tony start, you know, six fifteen
12:28
Speaker 9: ish and He usually talks not quite an hour and
12:31
Speaker 9: then we do the auctions and wrap it up.
12:32
Speaker 6: So it's not a late night by any means.
12:34
Speaker 3: But it's a good time it is, indeed, And again
12:36
Speaker 3: we've got information available on our social media and the
12:40
Speaker 3: website will have information too. And Margaret, I know you

12:48
Speaker 6: tickets too.
12:48
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we we have tickets. It's a five pick
12:50
Speaker 7: of tickets to see the Reds and the Pirates. You know,
12:52
Speaker 7: I was trying to find something that would be an
12:54
Speaker 7: attractive game. The configuration for home games is not great
12:58
Speaker 7: for this, but the Pirates are playing a lot better.
13:00
Speaker 7: This is for September twenty. First, it is a Saturday
13:03
Speaker 7: afternoon game, which was maybe the most attractive thing to
13:05
Speaker 7: me about it. It's a twelve o'clock Saturday game, which
13:08
Speaker 7: we don't get a whole lot of it. I'm sorry,
13:09
Speaker 7: one o'clock Saturday game, which we don't get a whole
13:11

17:16
Speaker 3: Is well. The setup started yesterday, some traffic changes and
17:20
Speaker 3: so on and so forth. Getting ready for Multifest. David
17:22
Speaker 3: Frisen is here to talk about. It's good morning. Welcome
17:25
Speaker 3: to the show, sir.
17:25
Speaker 4: Good morning, great to be here.
17:27
Speaker 3: Thank you for me. I think this is the maybe
17:29
Speaker 3: the first time you've been on my show.
17:30
Speaker 4: I think it might be.
17:31
Speaker 5: Of course, you know I'm often on Hoppy, oh state
17:34
Speaker 5: wide show, but I think it's the first time.
17:36
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I had this opportunity.
17:38
Speaker 3: I had to have you on Hoppy to make sure
17:39
Speaker 3: you were good enough to be on this show.
17:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that was my audition.
17:44
Speaker 3: Hoppy's my closer. So all right, So talk about the
17:49
Speaker 3: history of Multifest. Where did this whole thing come from?
17:51
Speaker 4: David?
17:52
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, I want to say it's the
17:53
Speaker 5: most wonderful time of the year. Multifest started thirty four
17:57
Speaker 5: years ago and it actually started out of a protest
18:00
Speaker 5: at the time led by the late Steve Starks in
18:05
Speaker 5: terms of just making sure that what was then this
18:08
Speaker 5: was the predecessor Stern where we got it was diverse
18:11
Speaker 5: and fair and open. And out of those conversations it
18:16
Speaker 5: was decided that we needed to start an event specifically
18:21
Speaker 5: designed toward inclusion. And so with about two weeks notice,
18:26
Speaker 5: Steve put together the first Multifest and so thirty four
18:32
Speaker 5: years of wonderful entertainment and it continues to grow.
18:36
Speaker 3: And were you a part of it?
18:38
Speaker 5: Well, I was, to be quite frank, I was not
18:40
Speaker 5: a part of putting it together.
18:42
Speaker 4: I was part of the protests.
18:43
Speaker 3: Okay, well you know so Steve.
18:47
Speaker 5: And I we we worked very closely together. But this
18:51
Speaker 5: but mostly Multifest was a vision of Steve Starks, and
18:55
Speaker 5: I always want to make sure that that's understood.
18:58
Speaker 4: He was my friend. He passed away this earlier this year.
19:03
Speaker 4: And so.
19:05
Speaker 5: While it started as a protest, it has expanded into
19:09
Speaker 5: being just a celebration of diversity. And I have an
19:13
Speaker 5: article in today's gazette that Multifest is really for everyone.
19:18
Speaker 5: This whole idea of diversity that has come under scrutiny
19:21
Speaker 5: and criticism, but that whole idea of diversity just means
19:25
Speaker 5: everyone is included, and we want everyone to understand all
19:29
Speaker 5: the acts, all the things we do, the diverse food
19:31
Speaker 5: that we have, the vendors that we have coming in,
19:35
Speaker 5: and that continues to grow. That it is truly designed
19:39
Speaker 5: for everyone.
19:40
Speaker 3: And one of the things I like about the story
19:42
Speaker 3: again we're talking with David Fristen about multifest One of
19:44
Speaker 3: the things I like about the story is, as you said,
19:47
Speaker 3: it started as a protest, but now it's kind of
19:51
Speaker 3: beyond that. And as you said, this has become a
19:54
Speaker 3: very important part of the schedule for the city of
19:57
Speaker 3: Charleston and the entire canol Voule. Absolutely, so it's not
20:01
Speaker 3: really that anymore. It's now become a major event where
20:03
Speaker 3: everybody's including.
20:04
Speaker 5: And I would like to suggest to you even for
20:06
Speaker 5: the state of West Virginia because you know, as you know,
20:09
Speaker 5: in my travels as a diversity professional, one of the
20:11
Speaker 5: things that that I often hear that first of all,
20:14
Speaker 5: there's no diversity in West Virginia, and secondly, there's no actual,
20:19
Speaker 5: uh celebration of diversity.
20:21
Speaker 4: And so this.
20:21
Speaker 5: Puts that that put puts that to bed, that that
20:24
Speaker 5: we truly do have an event. Uh that is that
20:28
Speaker 5: it's wild, it's Flida Canal Valley. I truly believe it's statewide.
20:31
Speaker 3: And when we move beyond yeah, and when.
20:34
Speaker 5: We do our statistics, we are getting more and more
20:37
Speaker 5: people from not only just the surrounding places, but from
20:41
Speaker 5: places as far away as Detroit and we even have
20:44
Speaker 5: some people who come in from the West Coast. So
20:47
Speaker 5: we we we are, we are very proud of that.
20:48
Speaker 5: You know, with the out migration from West Virginia. Uh,
20:53
Speaker 5: multifest has become like this reunion center to be quite frank,
20:57
Speaker 5: and so many times families will have their family reunion
21:00
Speaker 5: unions as part of of of multi festiness.
21:03
Speaker 4: So we welcome everybody back to West Virginia.
21:06
Speaker 3: Now, everybody automatically thinks about the music, and that's a
21:09
Speaker 3: big part of any festival, no matter what is the music.
21:11
Speaker 3: But there's a whole lot more, David that goes on
21:14
Speaker 3: at these things besides just the music and food. It's
21:16
Speaker 3: an educational thing.
21:17
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely absolutely there.
21:20
Speaker 5: I say that there are like three elements there. There
21:23
Speaker 5: is the interpersonal elements because you know in these days
21:26
Speaker 5: and times, when you when you come out, you see
21:29
Speaker 5: people that you haven't seen since last year, and so
21:31
Speaker 5: there's there's there's like this family atmosphere just seeing people.
21:35
Speaker 5: But secondly, as you said, there's an educational element, and
21:38
Speaker 5: so we have vendors. I am actually currently working as
21:43
Speaker 5: inter and vice president at Quinnepiac University in Connecticut, and
21:48
Speaker 5: we're bringing.
21:50
Speaker 4: A team in.
21:50
Speaker 5: We're bringing in to have a table to to basically
21:55
Speaker 5: recruit for Quinnipiac here and we hope, we're hoping that
21:58
Speaker 5: kind of thing stays. And of course our local when
22:02
Speaker 5: you talk about educational our colleges. West Virginia University is
22:06
Speaker 5: a wonderful partner. Marshall University is a steadfast and wonderful partner,
22:10
Speaker 5: and of course my Ama min or, West Virginia State
22:13
Speaker 5: University is a partner.
22:16
Speaker 3: We had a text here somebody said they're excited about
22:18
Speaker 3: multi Fest if we could provide the start times for
22:20
Speaker 3: the concert couldn't find them on the website or the
22:23
Speaker 3: Facebook page.
22:24
Speaker 5: Well, to be quite frank, the concerts start in the
22:27
Speaker 5: evening and so from six o'clock on, to be quite frank,
22:32
Speaker 5: and I'd say even from five o'clock on, because the
22:34
Speaker 5: way we normally stage that we have local acts. Then
22:38
Speaker 5: regional acts and then the last act of the evening
22:41
Speaker 5: is normally our national.
22:42
Speaker 3: Acts, okay, and there are plenty of those. And again
22:45
Speaker 3: I've got information that I've shared on my social media.
22:47
Speaker 3: I know my man Woody Woulds from The Beat is
22:49
Speaker 3: all over this thing too. Wood He's been a big
22:51
Speaker 3: part of it as well.
22:52
Speaker 4: It is exciting this year.
22:53
Speaker 5: So on Thursday, if I may, On Thursday, we have
22:56
Speaker 5: the legendary Chuck Brown Band and Chuck Brown and the Soul.
23:01
Speaker 4: Searchers are they actually started.
23:03
Speaker 5: This soandre of music called Go Go and last year
23:07
Speaker 5: we had a wonderful Go Go band from DC, but
23:10
Speaker 5: now we have the original. Chuck Brown died a few
23:13
Speaker 5: years ago, but his legacy lives on. So our headliner
23:17
Speaker 5: for Thursday is the Chuck. Friday is Ladies' Night, and
23:22
Speaker 5: so for Ladies Night we have Mony Love and we
23:27
Speaker 5: end with the Grammy Award winner, a Genuine which is
23:32
Speaker 5: something for the ladies. It's not a lady, but it's
23:34
Speaker 5: something for the ladies. Been On Saturday we have events
23:38
Speaker 5: all day. We have Justin Young and Joe Little and
23:42
Speaker 5: p D. Pablo and we end with the multi Grammy
23:46
Speaker 5: Award winner Brian McKnight, and so that's a really an
23:50
Speaker 5: exciting time. I actually had an opportunity to see his
23:53
Speaker 5: concert about a month and a half ago in Connecticut,
23:57
Speaker 5: and he is just a phenomenal singer, nomenal writer.
24:01
Speaker 3: And he's been around a while to had a bunch
24:02
Speaker 3: of hit records. I have one of the ones that
24:05
Speaker 3: comes off top of my head. He did a great
24:07
Speaker 3: duet with the Nessa Williams called love Is and Anytime.
24:10
Speaker 3: It is probably his big signature signature song. Yeah, all
24:13
Speaker 3: back to one, I forgot about that one.
24:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, a bunch of hits. He is really really an
24:17
Speaker 5: exciting entertainer. And then finally we have multi festas gospel
24:23
Speaker 5: on Sunday. There's actually a multi denominational church service earlier,
24:29
Speaker 5: and then we will have a gospel singer Clane Gavin,
24:34
Speaker 5: and then we have a diverse hip hop artist named
24:39
Speaker 5: Paul Wall and we end with the original Lakeside Band
24:44
Speaker 5: and they were a wonderful group from throwback from the
24:48
Speaker 5: seventies early eighties, and so we're really excited.
24:51
Speaker 3: Fantastic voyage. Yes there was there big hit that coolio later.
24:55
Speaker 4: Ahead with yourself, I hear you.
24:57
Speaker 3: Don't ask me anything about current music. But if you
25:00
Speaker 3: want to know anything from about you know, the fifties
25:03
Speaker 3: to about the early mid nineties, I'm your gay.
25:06
Speaker 5: I kind of feel the same way. Of course, I
25:08
Speaker 5: end earlier than you, like in the eighties. You know,
25:11
Speaker 5: I know all about funk of the seventies because I
25:14
Speaker 5: was a musician myself, a road musician. But I want
25:17
Speaker 5: to get give a shout out to the Multifest board
25:19
Speaker 5: because I don't think a lot of people understand. This
25:21
Speaker 5: is a completely non paid board. We have an executive
25:25
Speaker 5: director Tomorrow U Banks, Minister Tomorrow U Banks. And when
25:29
Speaker 5: Multifest is over in August, we start planning for the
25:32
Speaker 5: next year. Literally in September we have a retreat and
25:37
Speaker 5: so we have to raise funds. We don't really have
25:40
Speaker 5: any type of administrative staff, and because of that it
25:43
Speaker 5: is it is a grassroots organization.
25:46
Speaker 3: And everything happens at Hadad Riverfront Park. Absolutely, yeah, that's
25:50
Speaker 3: where all the music and everything. But I mean the boulevard.
25:52
Speaker 3: I think they shut it down yesterday, Yeah, portions of
25:54
Speaker 3: it to try to get ready for it.
25:55
Speaker 4: That's right.
25:56
Speaker 5: The boulevard has been shut down and the vendors are
25:58
Speaker 5: coming in. The other thing that we have a lot
26:02
Speaker 5: of exotic art that comes in and that you probably
26:05
Speaker 5: can't get in too many places in West Virginia. That's
26:09
Speaker 5: another benefit of multi Fest.
26:13
Speaker 3: I want to close with this, David, I want to
26:15
Speaker 3: talk about the young people's involvement in this and let's
26:18
Speaker 3: say early twenties and all the way back to toddlers.
26:22
Speaker 3: I mean, you bring the kids out for this, what's
26:24
Speaker 3: in it for them?
26:25
Speaker 5: Well, you know, first of all, as you said, it's
26:28
Speaker 5: an educational opportunity, right that we can learn from one another.
26:32
Speaker 5: But we actually have a kid zone that we start
26:34
Speaker 5: on Thursday on Friday, so we actually have a kid
26:38
Speaker 5: zone for young people, for the young adults, I believe,
26:42
Speaker 5: just the camaraderie of the acts, particularly you know, our
26:46
Speaker 5: local acts are very well decided toward young people, to
26:52
Speaker 5: be quite frank, and so we want to continue to
26:54
Speaker 5: expand we want young people to know that they have
26:57
Speaker 5: a stake in Multifest because we have to keep this
26:59
Speaker 5: thing going.
27:00
Speaker 4: And so UH, I.
27:01
Speaker 5: Appreciate the uh the question, because we are a multi
27:05
Speaker 5: uh generational opportunity.
27:09
Speaker 3: Somebody sent a text here David said, what would be

Speaker 3: Today is National Pollworker Recruitment Day at Secretary of State
31:05
Speaker 3: Mike Warner on to talk about it last week. Now
31:08
Speaker 3: the days here. Putnam County Clerk Brian Wood joins us.
31:10
Speaker 5: Now.
31:10
Speaker 3: Brian, good morning, Welcome to the show.
31:13
Speaker 4: Good morning, sir.
31:14
Speaker 3: Now is the time to start getting those poll workers
31:17
Speaker 3: lined up. And I know that in Puttnham County you
31:19
Speaker 3: don't normally have a hard time to get in them,
31:21
Speaker 3: but you know that could always change.
31:23
Speaker 17: Well, we're always looking for poll workers. If MBA's interested,
31:27
Speaker 17: we would definitely will take their names, their numbers and
31:31
Speaker 17: try to work them in the process. We want everybody
31:34
Speaker 17: included in this process. Today is National poll Worker Recruitment
31:39
Speaker 17: Day and on behalf of the clerks throughout the state.
31:42
Speaker 17: We'd encourage anybody that's interested the police reach out to
31:45
Speaker 17: their county clerk and contact them, let them know that
31:48
Speaker 17: they're available, so they can get those names to the
31:51
Speaker 17: county executive committees and see that they're part of the process.
31:56
Speaker 3: What kind of money are we talking about? I know
31:58
Speaker 3: what averages. It's different to different prices and different to
32:01
Speaker 3: pay for different counties. But on average or what are
32:03
Speaker 3: you paying Putnam County for poll workers Putnham.
32:06
Speaker 17: County, we we UH two hundred dollars for the day
32:10
Speaker 17: and then seventy five dollars for the school. And so
32:13
Speaker 17: if you if you go to school and you don't work,
32:17
Speaker 17: then you will not get the seventy five dollars. But
32:19
Speaker 17: if you fulfill your commitment both school as well as
32:23
Speaker 17: as the election day, it's two hundred and seventy five dollars.
32:26
Speaker 17: So for young folks, you know that you can make
32:29
Speaker 17: as much money there in one day as you could
32:33
Speaker 17: a whole week at you know, Taco Bell or somewhere
32:35
Speaker 17: somewhere like that.
32:36
Speaker 3: It's not a bad paycheck for one day of work.
32:38
Speaker 3: Now a great As I said when I talk to
32:40
Speaker 3: secretary last week, it's a long day. I mean, polls
32:43
Speaker 3: were open from six thirty am to seven thirty pm.
32:45
Speaker 3: Poll workers arrive what time they normally get their five
32:48
Speaker 3: five thirty or so.
32:49
Speaker 17: Yeah, we instruct our poor works get there five thirty five.
32:53
Speaker 3: To thirty so so basically by the time you wrap
32:55
Speaker 3: everything up, it is a long, long day. But what
32:58
Speaker 3: all is involved with being a pole work? I mean,
33:00
Speaker 3: as a voter, we walk in to the to our
33:02
Speaker 3: polling place and we you know, we check in and
33:04
Speaker 3: we go vote. Well, what actually, what kind of jobs
33:07
Speaker 3: are available? What exactly does does it involve to be
33:10
Speaker 3: a poleworker.
33:11
Speaker 17: It is a long day, but it's rewarding as well.
33:14
Speaker 17: You know, a lot of people do it for just
33:16
Speaker 17: their civic duties. A lot of people do it because
33:18
Speaker 17: they're interested in educating themselves about about the process, just
33:23
Speaker 17: because they want to see firsthand how it works and
33:25
Speaker 17: the checks and balances. And then a lot of people
33:27
Speaker 17: do it for the money. When it comes to different
33:30
Speaker 17: different positions and things like that. You have normally a
33:35
Speaker 17: set of five. There's two clerks and and three commissioners.
33:39
Speaker 17: The clerks are more like the paper pushers. They're the
33:42
Speaker 17: ones that you know, check the voters in hand out
33:47
Speaker 17: the ballots, issue the ballots, do the paperwork when uh
33:51
Speaker 17: from the standpoint of accounting for every ballot, uh, the
33:56
Speaker 17: commissioners or more of the worker bees, they'll they're over
34:00
Speaker 17: there at the ballot box receiving the ballots, make sure
34:02
Speaker 17: every ballot goes in the ballot box, helping the voters
34:06
Speaker 17: at the voting booths, and different things like that, checking
34:08
Speaker 17: the polls, make sure there's no campaign paraphernalia and things
34:13
Speaker 17: like that throughout the precinct.
34:15
Speaker 3: Has there been we had a text I'm going to
34:17
Speaker 3: kind of paraphrase this a little bit. Has there been
34:20
Speaker 3: that you know of, and I know you're also a
34:21
Speaker 3: president of the County Clerks Association? Is that right?
34:26
Speaker 4: Media mania?
34:27
Speaker 3: Past president? Okay, has there been or are you concerned
34:30
Speaker 3: as a county clerk or any of the county clerks
34:32
Speaker 3: or election officials that with all of the things in
34:35
Speaker 3: the news, and by the way, there's not been a
34:37
Speaker 3: single issue in West Virginia. But when people hear on
34:40
Speaker 3: the news about possible threats to poll workers that's happened
34:44
Speaker 3: in various states and so on and so forth, and
34:47
Speaker 3: talking about rigged elections and faked elections, are county clerks
34:51
Speaker 3: concerned that that may keep people from wanting to be
34:54
Speaker 3: a poll worker?
34:56
Speaker 17: We hope not in West Virginia. You know, we're we're
35:01
Speaker 17: pretty much a steady pace type payed the state. You know,
35:05
Speaker 17: we're never too high at the peak and never too
35:07
Speaker 17: low the valley. We kind of keep it right in
35:09
Speaker 17: the middle. And that's not to say that it can't happen.
35:12
Speaker 17: We always take every threat seriously. We're constantly in touch
35:15
Speaker 17: with the Secondary State's Office, the Fusion Center, UH, local
35:19
Speaker 17: law enforcement, and different things like that. The legislatures put
35:23
Speaker 17: in place some some you know, legislation in the past
35:27
Speaker 17: that that will help us in certain situations. Should should
35:31
Speaker 17: something like that occur. But you know, our hope is
35:33
Speaker 17: that everybody comes votes, has a good experience voting, and
35:38
Speaker 17: and uh, you know, just be a part of the process,
35:42
Speaker 17: have their voice heard through their vote, not through something else.
35:46
Speaker 3: Again, if somebody is interested in becoming a poll worker, uh,
35:49
Speaker 3: you just need to contact your county clerk's office and
35:51
Speaker 3: they go through the executive committees and you guys make
35:54
Speaker 3: it real simple and answer all the questions that people have.
35:57
Speaker 3: One question we did get can if I if I'm
35:59
Speaker 3: a poll worker, can I be placed in my home precinct?
36:02
Speaker 3: Or do you just put us wherever you need us?
36:05
Speaker 17: So typically the executive communities get first shot as to
36:09
Speaker 17: where people are replaced, and then after that the county
36:13
Speaker 17: clerks and staff do their part. Obviously, if you have
36:18
Speaker 17: a team of poll workers that's worked well and are
36:22
Speaker 17: loyal to the county and you know each other and
36:26
Speaker 17: comfortable with each other, we don't want to break that
36:28
Speaker 17: team up to try to help somebody get in there.
36:31
Speaker 17: But we try to make it as convenient as possible
36:33
Speaker 17: for everybody, so as close to their home as possible, different.
36:37
Speaker 3: Things like that National Pollworker Day is today. Brian, you're
36:40
Speaker 3: one of fifty five county clerks in West Virginia.
36:42
Speaker 17: I know you're a.
36:43
Speaker 3: Busy guy this morning, had some appointments. I appreciate you
36:46
Speaker 3: being here. We'll talk again soon, man, Thanks a lot, Sir.
36:49
Speaker 17: Can we go go over a couple of deadline?
36:51
Speaker 16: Oh?
36:51
Speaker 3: Sure, go ahead, go ahead. I was keeping on the
36:53
Speaker 3: clock for your schedule because you told me had an
36:55
Speaker 3: important appointment.
36:56
Speaker 17: Go ahead, No worse nowhere, no worst. I would like
36:59
Speaker 17: to courage every to register to vote or to you know,
37:02
Speaker 17: update their voter registration. October fifteenth is that deadline. Please
37:06
Speaker 17: do not wait until the end. We will be swamped
37:09
Speaker 17: with with changes and new people reader in the vote,
37:12
Speaker 17: and I encourage people to do that because that helps
37:17
Speaker 17: with them not possibly not having to vote a provisional
37:20
Speaker 17: ballot on election day. We encourage people to vote early.
37:25
Speaker 17: Early voting is a good way to avoid long lines
37:28
Speaker 17: on election day. We anticipate it, you know, being the
37:30
Speaker 17: presidential election. Long lines. We asked that the voters be
37:35
Speaker 17: patient with the poll workers and thank them for their service,
37:39
Speaker 17: because without the poll workers, we couldn't do what we
37:41
Speaker 17: do through the thirtieth. August thirteenth is the first day
37:48
Speaker 17: we can accept applications for absentee ballots, and then obviously
37:54
Speaker 17: election day is November fifth, So if you can keep
37:57
Speaker 17: those dates in mind, and anybody in Putnam count As
38:00
Speaker 17: willing to be a full worker, please reach out to
38:02
Speaker 17: my office three oh four five eighty six zero two
38:05
Speaker 17: zero two option two and we'd love to have you.
38:09
Speaker 3: All right, Brian, I appreciate you being here man, Thanks
38:11
Speaker 3: a lot, Thank you, sir. The time Button County Clerk,
38:14

Speaker 3: assessment report. Vis Appinnacle Corp dot net. Because what you
38:33
Speaker 3: don't know can hurt you. I don't normally spend a
38:36
Speaker 3: lot of time talking about other broadcast stations on this show,
38:40
Speaker 3: or I kind of keep it to our stations, but
38:42
Speaker 3: I do want to acknowledge something from a competitor, if
38:44
Speaker 3: you will. It has been announced the Coach Kid from
38:47
Speaker 3: Electric one O two point seven here in Charleston is
38:50
Speaker 3: leaving his morning show to devote more time to his
38:53
Speaker 3: family and other ventures. I will say this about Coach.
38:56
Speaker 3: We're competitors. We've known each other though for a long time.
38:59
Speaker 3: And even though our stations and our companies are competitors,
39:02
Speaker 3: Coaches class act and all around good dude. So I
39:04
Speaker 3: do want to wish him the best. If you see him,
39:06
Speaker 3: tell him I said he sucked. But other than that,
39:09
Speaker 3: he's a good dude, and I do want to wish
39:11
Speaker 3: him the best. Texas David, I will tell people, do
39:15
Speaker 3: not work the polls. It's bad, you're a target. I
39:18
Speaker 3: don't know if that's the case in West Virginia.
39:20
Speaker 4: I mean don't.
39:21
Speaker 3: I don't think that is a case in West Virginia.
39:23
Speaker 3: But I will say this, and I will agree with
39:26
Speaker 3: a couple of other texts I had too. You know,
39:28
Speaker 3: when you have people on the national level talking about
39:31
Speaker 3: fake elections and targeting poll workers, it doesn't exactly. Again,
39:36
Speaker 3: West Virginia, I don't think has the problem, but it
39:38
Speaker 3: doesn't exactly. You know, lend itself to wanting to get
39:41
Speaker 3: involved in this, especially when you see the threats that
39:44
Speaker 3: other that poll workers and election workers in other states
39:47
Speaker 3: have had to go through, but it's not been an
39:49
Speaker 3: issue in West Virginia. So quickly to yesterday and the
39:55
Speaker 3: announcement that I made yesterday that I have left the
39:57
Speaker 3: Republican Party and am now registered in dependent. I said
40:01
Speaker 3: on yesterday's show, I struggled whether or not to say
40:03
Speaker 3: anything about it. I switched a couple months ago on
40:07
Speaker 3: a Friday, actually had something written out about it, a
40:10
Speaker 3: few notes for the show that I was going to
40:12
Speaker 3: get into on that following Monday. And again this was
40:14
Speaker 3: all in June, but I decided to hold off on
40:17
Speaker 3: it for a day or two, and days turn into
40:19
Speaker 3: weeks and two months, etc.
40:20
Speaker 4: Etc.
40:20
Speaker 3: And I just really never had a chance and didn't
40:22
Speaker 3: really think it was that important to bring it up, though,
40:25
Speaker 3: But I bet I did yesterday. My reasons again in
40:29
Speaker 3: case you missed it, and can go back to listen
40:30
Speaker 3: to yesterday's show if you want. But my reasons for
40:33
Speaker 3: changing really just one. The Party of Reagan is now
40:37
Speaker 3: the Party of Trump, and I just don't want to
40:40
Speaker 3: be a part of it. And I'm not one of
40:43
Speaker 3: those people that says, if you support Trump, unfriended me
40:45
Speaker 3: from social media or in real life. No, that's not
40:49
Speaker 3: the way I see things saying with any Democrat. I
40:51
Speaker 3: have friends that support the now nominee Kamalda Harris. Awesome,
40:55
Speaker 3: more power to you and whomever wins will be my present,
41:02
Speaker 3: and I hope not only the best for them, but
41:04
Speaker 3: for the country. So I'm not that guy. I'm not
41:08
Speaker 3: that he or she's not my print.
41:10
Speaker 18: No.
41:10
Speaker 3: No, if you're in a United States citizen, there your president.
41:13
Speaker 3: So I did get a couple of comments I wanted
41:15
Speaker 3: to read real quick. One said, thank you for the
41:18
Speaker 3: courage you took to share your personal decision. Very inspiring.
41:20
Speaker 3: My hope is your story or prompt others to self
41:23
Speaker 3: reflect about their own personal political stance. I am not
41:26
Speaker 3: asking anybody to leave any party. Okay, I'm just telling
41:29
Speaker 3: you what I did. You as Hobby says, you do you.
41:34
Speaker 3: One of the messages I got, yes, I said bold
41:35
Speaker 3: move this morning, Good for you. I myself switched to independent.
41:38
Speaker 3: I told myself I cannot be a member of a
41:40
Speaker 3: party where Trump is considered the leader. Other factors included
41:44
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green, Ted Cruz and other radicals. I was
41:46
Speaker 3: a Republican voter starting with Reagan, but no more. And
41:51
Speaker 3: another text I got yesterday from a friend said, nice commentary.
41:54
Speaker 3: Trump is and has become a religion and active faith
41:57
Speaker 3: where facts don't matter. So that's that. I said. Ninety
42:01
Speaker 3: nine percent of the time. I'm still going to vote Republican.
42:03
Speaker 3: I just hope one day the party will return to
42:05
Speaker 3: the Party of Reagan and not the Party of Trump.
42:09
Speaker 3: Trump is not a conservative. He does not represent at
42:12
Speaker 3: all the values in my opinion, of the Republican Party.
42:16
Speaker 3: But you do you, you do whatever whatever makes you happy.
42:20
Speaker 3: I got some news headlines I want to get into,
42:23
Speaker 3: and we will get into those here momentarily. West Virginia

45:26
Speaker 3: wouldn't lie for partisan gain, say, as a Texter. Let's
45:30
Speaker 3: get to some headlines. I want to buy a luxury hotel.
45:33
Speaker 3: Brad mclahanny with the story post at wv metronews dot com.
45:36
Speaker 3: The Greenbrier is up for auction later this month on
45:39
Speaker 3: the courthouse steps in Louisbourg, Greenbrier County. Little history here.
45:43
Speaker 3: The Greenbrier was founded in seventeen seventy eight, oh Ryan,
45:46
Speaker 3: I was not there. Jim Justice bought the Greenbrier out
45:50
Speaker 3: of bankruptcy in two thousand and nine. Now the auction
45:53
Speaker 3: is going to be August to twenty seventh on the
45:55
Speaker 3: courthouse steps at two o'clock. The auction does not take
45:59
Speaker 3: in all the Greenbrier property. It does include the hotel
46:03
Speaker 3: itself and the parking area. The other property like the
46:07
Speaker 3: golf courses, the medical facilities, tennis, et ceteras that are
46:10
Speaker 3: not part of the deal. Brad has a very very
46:13
Speaker 3: in depth story about this post at a we metronews
46:16
Speaker 3: dot com, and I'm pretty sure he's going to be
46:18
Speaker 3: on with Northern Dave Wilson, who's in for Hopy for
46:21
Speaker 3: the next two days. Brad is going to be on
46:22
Speaker 3: the show coming up next hour to get into it
46:26
Speaker 3: a little bit more, Tex says Dave. Don't look at
46:28
Speaker 3: the personalities of the presidential candidates. We'll look at the
46:31
Speaker 3: policies of the candidates. President Trump's policies have worked to
46:34
Speaker 3: put American citizens first in stopping the invasion of illegal aliens, etc.
46:38
Speaker 3: It is common sense, says a Texter Dave Allen Show five,

Speaker 3: Eddie Live Brod to you part by Husband's Pizza at

Speaker 3: your favorite Hustans this month get a large a ten

Speaker 3: inch pepperoni pizza and an eight inch chocolate chip cookie
46:48
Speaker 3: only twenty three ninety nine. Another interesting story of Brad's
46:54
Speaker 3: and I guess Brad has more time on his hands
46:56
Speaker 3: to investigate stuff now that the governor has banished him
46:59
Speaker 3: from the press conferences. Mister Michael had a story posted
47:03
Speaker 3: on the website, a very very long story little dig
47:06
Speaker 3: at my coworker Brad. There, he and the governor are
47:10
Speaker 3: at odds now and the governor even I think, referred
47:13
Speaker 3: to him as fake news, which, well, I'm going to
47:16
Speaker 3: leave that one alone, other than to say that's bull crap.
47:19
Speaker 3: Former Republican candidate for Secretary of State Ken Reid is
47:24
Speaker 3: calling for an investigation into parallels between political contributions to
47:32
Speaker 3: boost up the campaign of the eventual winner on the
47:35
Speaker 3: Republican side in the primary. Chris Warner, the brother of
47:40
Speaker 3: current Secretary of State Mike Warner now Reid also bringing
47:46
Speaker 3: up some loans that were approved by Chris Warner in
47:51
Speaker 3: his current role with the State Economic Development Authority. Chris Warner,
47:55
Speaker 3: for his part, released the statements yesterday, saying that as
48:00
Speaker 3: of yesterday this was the first statement that he was
48:03
Speaker 3: not aware of the complaint. And you know, we in
48:08
Speaker 3: the news department have been aware of this for a while.
48:10
Speaker 3: But when you're dealing with investigations and I know again
48:13
Speaker 3: full disclosure, former Secretary of State employee, that we've got
48:16
Speaker 3: calls and questions all the time, people saying, well, is
48:19
Speaker 3: this under investigation? Well, until a certain point, you can't
48:22
Speaker 3: confirm or deny. That's all you can say. But this
48:25
Speaker 3: whole story links and goes back to the resignation of
48:30
Speaker 3: Mark Scott, the administration's secretary in the Executive Branch, who
48:36
Speaker 3: was also serving as chairman of a federally registered political
48:40
Speaker 3: action committee called Conservative Policy Action. Now, a lot of
48:46
Speaker 3: the funds, as best I understand it, from that group
48:50
Speaker 3: spent here went to support Chris Warner's campaign for Secretary
48:56
Speaker 3: of State. That is, according to the complaint, Ken who
49:00
Speaker 3: was one of one of the candidates that was a
49:03
Speaker 3: Republican that did not win. Kim came in third. Doug
49:07
Speaker 3: scaff of course was second, and then ken Reid, and
49:10
Speaker 3: then Putnam, Kenny Clerk, Brian Wood. Ken Reid and this
49:14
Speaker 3: is his words is calling this collusion his words between
49:21
Speaker 3: mister Scott and Chris Warner. Reid is also calling for
49:24
Speaker 3: a state investigation into connections between Mark Scott and Chris Warner.
49:31
Speaker 3: Reid saying that Chris Warner should have resigned his position
49:35
Speaker 3: with the State Economic Development Authority to run for Secretary
49:38
Speaker 3: of State. Reid is calling it a conflict of interest
49:42
Speaker 3: since both Scott and Chris Warner worked for the state
49:46
Speaker 3: with This is direct language from the complaint power over
49:51
Speaker 3: multiple contracts while soliciting funds end quote. Now, it's a
49:56
Speaker 3: whole lot to get into, and it involves a lot
50:00
Speaker 3: lot of people and a lot of companies. And I
50:03
Speaker 3: would urge you to go to the website wv metronews
50:06
Speaker 3: dot com and read Brad's story on this. And it's
50:08
Speaker 3: also important to remember that these are just accusations. This
50:11
Speaker 3: is part of an official on the record complaint filed
50:14
Speaker 3: with the Secretary of States Office, So all these are
50:17
Speaker 3: just accusations. I know Chris Warner did at least one,
50:20
Speaker 3: maybe two emails to the media yesterday with his part
50:24
Speaker 3: in this. So I will say, and I know that
50:27
Speaker 3: Brad reached out to Chris Warner, but anytime that any
50:31
Speaker 3: of these parties involved, and I think I also speak
50:33
Speaker 3: for talk Line or for Brad, anytime any of these
50:37
Speaker 3: parties want to go on the show, all they got
50:38
Speaker 3: to do is reach out to us, and I'd be
50:40
Speaker 3: glad to have them on, got them all on in
50:42
Speaker 3: the passes, in one role or another, and be glad
50:45
Speaker 3: to have them on again. But this story, though, I think,
50:50
Speaker 3: and I've been talking about it for a couple of weeks,
50:52
Speaker 3: I think it's got a whole lot of different layers
50:54
Speaker 3: to it, and I think you're going to hear a
50:56
Speaker 3: whole lot more about it. And it's not just as
50:59
Speaker 3: it relates to this race or to Mark Scott's There
51:03
Speaker 3: are if you go and read Brad's story, there are
51:07
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of big names that are mentioned.
51:10
Speaker 3: I don't even want to say implicated, because that that
51:13
Speaker 3: that appears that you're saying someone's guilty, and I'm not.
51:15
Speaker 3: I'm just talking about what the complaints said. Former candidate
51:19
Speaker 3: for governor and auto dealer Bill Cole's name is also
51:23
Speaker 3: being thrown around in the story as well. It is
51:25
Speaker 3: a long, long story. Brad's done a lot of work
51:28
Speaker 3: on it. I know other media outlets in the state
51:30
Speaker 3: are also working on it. So go read bradstorywv Metronews
51:33
Speaker 3: dot com and there's going to be a whole lot
51:34
Speaker 3: more to follow, I am sure in the coming days. Texas.
51:39
Speaker 3: Dave was our Brad really banned from Governor Justice's press
51:43
Speaker 3: conferences just too dead. Well, they don't call his name anymore,
51:47
Speaker 3: and that's the way they work.
51:48
Speaker 8: Now.
51:48
Speaker 3: You got to have your name called, and I don't
51:50
Speaker 3: think that Brad gets his name called anymore. The governor
51:54
Speaker 3: I think upset because Brad was asking questions about the
51:56
Speaker 3: financial interest and in low and behold. Now the Greenbrier
52:00
Speaker 3: is on the auction block. Dave Alento and five and
