This's got several things we want to talk to counsel with Pepper about.
1:51
Plus Chris Lawrence is going to join us to talk about the Big Outdoors Show
1:53
which is happening in Morgantown this weekend. And I got some other things in
1:59
the news one to get to. But I'm actually going to start with Chris
2:01
and then ask him to come back for duties later on the show because a
2:07
serious story. Last night, we had a shooting involving a Canon Canty deputy.
2:12
Let's go to Chris in the newsroom. Chris, good morning. What's
2:14
the latest one? No, good morning. It happened about ten after one
2:16
this morning, Knaw County Sheriff's Department got a call from nine to one one.
2:22
They were dispatched to the Systonville community on Galena Drive, where the caller
2:25
had reported a man was being extremely violent and might be under the influence of
2:30
methamphetamines. The deputy who was dispatched was responding and on his way to that
2:36
call noticed the suspects vehicle the description matching the suspects vehicle, turned on his
2:42
blue lights and suddenly that car took off and the chase was on. It
2:45
was not a chase that went very far. It went as far as We're
2:47
on Walker Drive at the time. It went to AppleTree Hill and there suddenly
2:52
the suspects stopped, jumped out of the car, and as the deputies was
2:57
exiting, the suspect pulled a gun and started shooting. The deputy came under
3:00
a hail of gunfire. He suffered a wound to the hand, but did
3:06
manage to return fire did not hit the suspect, who has since been identified
3:10
as forty three year old Nathan Oxley of the Cistonville community. Oxley fled into
3:15
the woods and there was a cascade of officers from all departments that showed up
3:20
after that, and he was apprehended not too long afterward in the woods near
3:24
the incident. Seen there. There was also a woman in the car with
3:29
him. She's been identified as Rebecca Lynville of Cissonville. She too fled into
3:34
the woods and officers deputy spent several hours looking for her. She was finally
3:38
located and will not be charged. Oxley is now in custody and faces charges
3:45
of attempted murder of a police officer and malicious wounding. The deputy was taken
3:50
to camc General. He has been undergoing surgery this morning for the wound to
3:54
his hand. That wound not considered life threatening, so it could have been
3:58
a whole lot worse, but the deity is now recovering and the suspect in
4:02
the shooting is now behind bars. So that's pretty much where things stand at
4:06
this point. Boy. You never know, when you know you're an officer
4:10
and you take that call, how it's going to wind up. Yeah,
4:12
you're exactly right, And our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his
4:15
family as well. And again, this Oxley guy is facing, as you
4:19
said, these charges including attempt to murder on a police officer. So he's
4:23
had a bad He's had a bad several decades, probably, Yeah, exactly,
4:27
So they'll I'm sure he is behind bars and we'll probably have court hearing
4:30
scheduled soon. And we have not got an update on the condition of the
4:35
officer, but I was told that his wound was not life threatening. He
4:39
was shot in the hand, so not necessarily life threatening, but certainly there
4:42
are plenty of complications that can come with that at this point. So our
4:46
best wishes to him absolutely, all right, Chris, I appreciate it.
4:48
I'm gonna ask Chris to come back a little bit later on to talk about
4:51
the be Outdoors Show which is happening in Morgantown this weekend. Chris, appreciate
4:56
it, man, Thanks a lot, all buddy. It is twelve minutes
4:58
after night I have a day violance shilling five venieline brought to you apart by
5:00
bright Way Insurance, the Maze agency of Tay's Valley Briadway offers up to two
5:03
million dollars in life insurance from all the top carries at about ten minutes,
5:08
with a ninety five percent approval rate and no medical exam. See then for
5:12
all of the tails started quote today at Brightway mays dot com on to switch
5:15
gears, bringing Charlestonton Councilman Emmed Pepper. Good morning, sir, how are
5:17
you? Good morning? Thanks for having me. I'm doing all right.
5:19
I like your picture that you you tweeted out that you exd there this morning.
5:24
Well, I'm starting to think that maybe the issue wasn't because I was.
5:27
I was unhappy about the photo you posted on Facebook. But I'm starting
5:30
to think maybe it wasn't the photography more about the subject. So yeah,
5:33
it just doesn't look good. Well, you know, it's one of those
5:35
things where you know, I generally speaking, i'll take pictures of the guests
5:39
and then when I do a little preview on social media ahead of time,
5:42
I put a picture up there. And this today was one of those days
5:46
when nothing went right this morning as far as you know. And I'm trying,
5:50
running around, trying like crazy, and I was running out of time,
5:54
and I went to my file on my phone that I've got ready,
5:57
and here's a picture from you from two years ago when you're on it,
6:00
and I'm putting it up there. And so we got a better picture now,
6:02
VI in the green room, slightly better. Yeah, right, all
6:05
right, I want to talk a little bit about and I guess several things
6:09
I want to talk to you about. One of the things I want to
6:11
mention to you is about this land Reuse Agency. Now, we originally when
6:15
we talked over the weekend, we were going to get John Butterworth, who
6:18
is with the land Reuse Agency, to come on the show a little bit
6:21
talk about that organization. He unfortunately was not able, had a conflict.
6:27
We'll try to get him on some other the time. But what exactly is
6:30
the Charleston land Reuse Agency? What's the purpose and what kind of work do
6:32
they do? Yeah, well I'm on the board too, so I'm fairly
6:35
well versed, although not as well versus him obviously, But yeah, so
6:39
the land re Use Agency is something that may Or Goodwin put into place early
6:44
on in her administration, and the goal is to start to reverse some of
6:48
the issues that we've had with vacant buildings, dilapidated structures, making sure that
6:54
we're putting the land back into reuse so that we're getting it into useful purposes.
7:00
So one thing we've done is we've expanded. We've been able to so
7:03
what's actually so just to back up what a lot of times is happening in
7:06
cities is and this is all over the state. I think people buy someone
7:11
doesn't pay their taxes, someone buys a tax sale, they don't really do
7:14
anything with it. It just sits there. Sometimes if there's a building on
7:16
it, then it can fall apart and it's just you know, we call
7:20
swirling around the drain, and it's not good. It's hurting our communities.
7:24
So what we've done is we've we've put this Land rece Agency and so now
7:27
we are the land recea agency participates in the tax sales, and we are
7:30
strategic and identify parcels that look like they would be appropriate for redevelopment. If
7:35
there's a something that's on there that's that's a real big problem for the city
7:40
or if it's something that is right next to a park. So we've been
7:45
able to expand our parks by I think sixteen or seventeen acres. Kato Park
7:47
is one big one Danner Meadow Park, and so that's one thing. We
7:53
Also if there's you know, some land that someone else owns that we would
7:56
be useful for the city to have for safety reasons or whatever, we we
8:00
get that too. But the most important is to actually get it back into
8:03
redevelopment. There's holes throughout our neighborhoods in the city, especially in the west
8:09
side of North Charleston. And you know, and again we're talking with the
8:11
councilman Pepper, Emmit Pepper. When you drive around Charleston or any fell in
8:18
name here town around the country, literally, will you see these these buildings,
8:22
You see this land, you think, gosh, why doesn't somebody do
8:26
with that? Why don't they clean? It's not for a governmental agency.
8:28
It's not as simple as what you might think it would be, or for
8:33
that matter, and it should be. Yeah, yeah, And so what
8:35
we've what we've done is we've so we've we've purchased I think over one hundred
8:39
different properties and there's different kind of goals in mind for some of them.
8:43
And we have two new programs that we wanted to talk about. One is
8:46
this incentive to build new houses and so that's actually anywhere in the city,
8:52
whether or not we own the property or not, thirty five thousand dollars incentive
8:56
as long as the house you build is done by November first of this year,
9:01
and the total cost to build it's under three hundred thousand dollars. So
9:03
we want to have more of that kind of middle d November. That's kind
9:05
of a big ask, is it not? It is you know this is
9:09
some of this funding is restricted by federal It is federal money, so we
9:13
have to get it out the door. And we want to get the houses
9:16
built. I heard your show yesterday with rich the realtor. There are some
9:20
real needs and so we need to get the houses built. Yeah. I
9:22
had Cheryl Ellis from Advantage Valley on about a month or so ago that housing
9:26
survey came out and it's not only here in the Charleston area, but there
9:28
is a definite need for housing across all economic areas, all price points for
9:37
housing in the Kanaw Valley in general, and especially in Charleston yeah. Yeah,
9:41
And so it's thirty five thousand if you built anywhere in the city,
9:43
fifty thousand if you've built on one of our lots. Okay, And what's
9:46
the other program you said you had a couple, Yeah, the other one
9:48
is really just directed at people who already live here. And so this is
9:52
a sidelot program. We have bought some you know, we ended up with
9:58
with we bought some lots to protect them and to have them get them into
10:01
productive use. So we have some a list of I think a couple dozen
10:05
lots, and so folks should take a look and see if there's if one
10:09
is right near them, or even if you know of a lot. It's
10:11
like, man, i live right next to the door of this lot.
10:13
I'd love to be able to have that be part of my property. It's
10:16
not being maintained the way we like it to be. It's hurting the neighborhood.
10:20
That's the sort of thing we can try to help with. We already
10:22
have, like I said, some wats, and people can buy them from
10:26
us. You apply for it, and the total cost after applications and everything
10:30
is two hundred dollars. If it's a lot next to where you live.
10:33
If it's if you're a landlord or you have other property, it's investment property
10:39
five hundred dollars. So that it gets it, it's two benefits. It
10:41
puts it back on the property tax roles for us, and then someone's maintaining
10:46
it. Talking again with Charleston City Councilman Emmitt Pepper, it's nine eighteen.
10:52
Is there a place, a convenient place where people can go and learn more
10:54
about this on the website? Yeah, with a trust Landry Use Agency website.
11:00
There's a map on there people can see. It's a little bit different
11:03
from from what I think. It hasn't been updated for a little bit,
11:05
but but you can contact folks. Also. The coordinator's name is krist Messenger
11:11
A Messinger and her number is six eight one eight nine five seven two,
11:18
and so you can talk to her and just reach out to the ATLANDA East
11:22
Agency. I would just google everything these days. That's what you have to
11:24
do now, all right. So I actually one of the reasons I reached
11:28
out to you, and this is great stuff that you provided us with this
11:31
morning, but I reached out to you over this past weekend, Counsel one,
11:33
because last week we had a text to the show asking about the status
11:37
of the scooter program in Charleston. Now it's not it's not gone away,
11:41
but I guess, for lack of a better term, maybe they just hibernate
11:45
for the winner. They did they did they go south or it's flight south.
11:48
I guess, yeah, because the Bird is the name of the scooter
11:50
company that operates here. So it's not a city program, but it is
11:54
something we've authorized and we have an agreement with them. Uh So the company's
11:56
name is Bird and they have a local operation. And yeah, my understanding
12:01
is in most smaller cities especially, but even in big cities, think they
12:07
downsized in the winter. But yeah, so it's pretty much seasonal. I
12:09
think probably you know, either later next month or early in April, you
12:13
know, start once the people start mowing their lawns and stuff, they people
12:16
will want to start rudning scooters again too. Well, we had a text
12:18
about the show and actually when I preview that you were going to be here,
12:24
h somebody texted the show and ask about the scooters again, and they
12:28
said the last one I saw was in November and it was in a sad
12:31
state, having been stripped for parts. I haven't heard that one. H
12:35
No. I mean I think people have tried to do stuff like that and
12:37
they're fine and it's not really either' finding out that there's a GPS on them.
12:41
But but b it's not really much there to So how's the how's the
12:43
response been to the program? I mean bet there were some skeptics and on
12:48
social media and whatever, and then the others into the show, and I
12:52
had you on a couple times to talk about overall though, how has the
12:54
response been to the program. I think it's been mostly like a you know,
12:58
in terms of like the I think that's been a nothing burger. And
13:01
I think that, you know, for the people who like it, they
13:03
really like it and they like being able to utilize it. I think it's
13:07
going to be important. You know, you had the folks on about with
13:09
the bike thing coming up here in May. I mean, I think we're
13:13
going to have when we have a lot of people here, having other options
13:16
for getting around is going to be helpful and beneficial. There have not been
13:20
any major I mean, I've been very very closely monitoring because my whatever reason
13:26
my name, I mean, I think this is just something I thought was
13:28
like the right thing to do is not the thing I you know, like
13:31
office for but and I own that's fine, but like there's not I don't
13:33
haven't been any issues. I mean, I'm happy to work through them,
13:35
and you know, if there are issues, we can talk and stuff.
13:39
But uh, it's also it's not my business. You know, if somebody
13:41
does, if they don't want to keep operating, they don't have to.
13:45
I mean, it's it's a private business. It's an international company. And
13:48
I think they actually are you know, they've had struggles themselves. So then
13:52
if they don't want to continue, they don't have to. But you know,
13:54
we just I just think it should be an option. But so what
13:58
you're saying is you anticipate on the next couple of weeks that the the scooters,
14:03
the bird scooters should be returning from from their winter home in Florida.
14:05
Is that what you're saying. I think that's right. Yeah, right.
14:09
I want to get to this and I want to blindside you with this.
14:11
But there was a lot of attention counselmen on Charleston City Council for the first
14:16
couple of months, maybe the first couple of meetings as it pertains to individuals
14:20
asking the Counselor and Mayer to take up this resolution calling for a ceasefire situation
14:26
with the with the conflict with the with the Israelis and the Palestinians, and
14:31
got very ugly at a couple of the city Council meeting. I thought,
14:33
uh, as this is meet speaking, not counsel of Pepper. I thought
14:37
that, uh, it got pretty ugly and got pretty pretty rude within the
14:41
chambers. I was watching it at home any more, thought any thoughts on
14:45
you on that public comment on that? Yeah? So I think a couple
14:50
of things. I mean, one is I think that they're important issues to
14:54
our community. I think that it's it is appropriate for us as community leaders
14:58
to take to take public positions on them. However, I also do not
15:03
think it's an appropriate use of the limited time that we have together as a
15:07
city council to be debating craft, crafting, language, et cetera on matters
15:13
that are external to our powers. And I think that's for two reasons.
15:16
One, none of us ran on any international issue that I'm aware of,
15:20
even people who ran and had really large platforms. There's lots of different issues
15:24
in them, So I don't think we'll have you know, the voters.
15:28
Voters were not asking us about that when we were running. There's just no,
15:31
that's not part of our jobs. And I do think because we only
15:35
meet twenty you know, a couple dozen times a year in person in the
15:39
evenings for a few hours, we only there's a lot of things to work
15:41
on, like the thing I'm talking about here with the you know, incentivizing
15:45
getting more people back into Charleston, the things that we were elected to do.
15:48
If we're having if we're having to focus on things that we don't really
15:52
have any power over, I do think it harms our ability to focus on
15:56
the needs of Charleston that we actually have the ability to impact now. And
16:00
I've said that we've done We've done letters on behalf of city council members,
16:04
some people signed on, some people don't. To the Public Service Commission,
16:07
to Congress, to the legislature, we do those sorts of things, but
16:12
we don't need to debate them and spend time together voting on them because it
16:17
really doesn't it's not within our purview. And so I think, like I
16:21
said, I think we should take take positions on things. If we can
16:22
find something that is going to be agreeable to most of our public on external
16:26
issues, but I don't think it's it's a good use of our time because
16:30
we really have to be able to focus on the specific needs that we have
16:36
control over for city council before we let you go. Since the last time
16:38
we had you on the show, the City of Charleston has named a new
16:41
police chief in Scott Demse. He had been serving as the inner in chief.
16:44
Any thoughts on the on the chief and the new chief. He's a
16:47
great guy, all right, it's enough set and he kind of got hit
16:51
with a not a scandal of his own doing, but he kind of got
16:53
hit with this old Jimmy Risk thing. I'm not going to ask you to
16:55
comment on that, but he kind of got hit with that day one,
16:57
so like welcome, welcome aboard, good by chief. Yeah, yeah,
17:00
yeah, I don't know any more than what yeah exactly. I'm not going
17:03
to ask you to comment on that, all right, Colselm Pepper. I
17:06
appreciate you taking time to be here, man, Thanks a lot. We'll
17:08
be looking for those scooters. Yeah yeah, we'll go on a ride together.
17:12
Do you have one with a sidecar. I'll take that. Like the

20:22
man, seems like I never left. It seems like you you never left,
20:26
but I actually had you scheduled to come on any way to talk about
20:30
the West Virginia Fishing Hunting an Outdoor Sports Show. It's happening in Morgantown this
20:33
weekend. Yeah, the twenty second annual West Virginia Fishing Hunting an Outdoor Sports
20:37
Show. And it seems to get bigger and bigger every year. Of course,
20:41
last year it really took a jump because they had that new facility with
20:45
the They basically doubled the space with the new addition at the Ruby mcquain center
20:51
there at Miland Park the Events Center, so they're building it now. It's
20:55
the largest outdoor show in the region. I don't think it's as big as
20:56
the one we do here in Charleston, but it's close. It's definitely the
21:00
second biggest in West Virginia. So that'll be that'll be a lot of fun.
21:03
It'll be from ten to seven on Saturday and ten to four on Sunday
21:07
at Myland Park in Morgantown, and I'll be there pretty much all day Saturday.
21:14
I've got quite a few obligations there. I'll be doing West Virginia Doors
21:17
live from the from the stage there at the on the show floor from seven
21:22
to eight, and then a special radio show, a special edition of West
21:26
Virginia out Doors on our Morgantown affiliate w a j R. Pretty much like
21:30
I do from the Hunting Fishing Show here on w c HS. We'll just
21:33
be talking to people that are part of the show up there for three hours,
21:37
so looking forward to that, and throughout that time, throughout the afternoon,
21:41
I'll be hanging around talking to a lot of people who listened to the
21:45
show in the northern part of the state. So looking forward to that.
21:47
You know, I've been up there the last couple of years. Chris and
21:48
I ran into people that I knew from this part of the world, and
21:53
in places south I ran into him in Morgantown, like, you know,
21:57
one of my one of my good buddies from otherwand Virginia. I ran into
22:00
him because I think it was two years ago, and I said, what
22:03
in the world are you doing up here? And he said, well,
22:04
he said, I was about like forty five minutes away and I heard him
22:07
talking about on the radio, and I knew Chris was here and I wanted
22:10
to come and hang out and he did, Well, that's that's why we
22:12
do it. We love to meet folks. When you're in radio, you
22:17
didn't get it. You don't get an opportunity to meet a lot of people
22:19
that listen to you every day. So these are the kind of events that
22:22
I really relish because I get an opportunity to just hang out and have an
22:26
informal conversation with anybody that listens to the show. I really enjoy that.
22:30
There's a couple of guys that you might be familiar with if you're a hunting
22:33
and fishing enthusiast, particularly a hunting enthusiast guy named Josh White who has Josh
22:40
White's Adventures on YouTube, and I think I have to I have to check.
22:45
I think he's also on a cable network somewhere, and then Kenny Davis
22:49
from Whitetail Frenzy TV. Both those guys are going to be there and I'm
22:55
scheduled to talk to both of them during their seminars as they do a presentation
23:00
to the to the folks on the stage up there, So look forward to
23:03
being a part of that as well on Saturday afternoon. Along with that,
23:07
They've got he has some really cool seminars lined up there. Joe Bragg is
23:10
a guy I've known for many years. He's a great fly fisherman. He'll
23:12
be putting on a demonstration. And my buddy Smoky from up in the Moundsville
23:18
area. He he is a for forty or fifty years, has made Smokey's
23:23
deer lures. He makes sense s C, E N T s that are
23:29
used that way, he makes sense too. But he uses these as attracting
23:33
some lures for trapping and for hunting and applications. And I can only imagine
23:40
what his kitchen must be like with all the different combinations he's used in there.
23:44
Anyway, he'll be there and he'll be doing a seminar as well.
23:47
Plus you can buy a lot of his products he'll have in there as well.
23:48
There's a there's a reptilian show. They've got reptiles, turtle snakes,
23:53
that sort of thing will be there. And then this will be fun.
23:56
The hunt chef is going to be there to put on a demonstry late in
24:00
the day. And the cool thing about the hunt chef, not only is
24:02
he a fantastic chef, but when he's done with his presentation, you can
24:06
go per need it nice. So there's always that. And then on Sunday,
24:11
Sean Butler, who's from here in the Kanawa Valley, he's gonna have
24:14
a demonstration about tracking dogs. This was just legalized, I guess in West
24:21
Virginia a few years back to use these blood tracking dogs, which are dogs
24:25
that are trained specifically to track a deer after it's been shot. A lot
24:29
of times you'll shoot one and it'll run, and if it didn't leave a
24:32
really good blood trail, you might have a hard time picking up the trail
24:34
and finding it. These dogs have no problem at all. You put them
24:37
on it, they'll take a right to it just about one hundred percent of
24:40
the time. So he's got several of those dogs and he'll be putting on
24:42
a demonstration. There's a bass fishing seminarum, a buddy Bugsy who's always Bugsy.
24:48
Bugsy's a character man. Bugsy's baits Usa. He'll be there. There's
24:52
a falconry demonstration, which I've never actually seen a falcon redemonstration. I've never
24:56
been a part of falconry, but apparently that's the some folks hunt with a
25:02
trained falcon on. It'll surprise you to know that, your mister outdoors and
25:06
I'm mister indoors, that I have actually seen a falconry exhibition or not,
25:12
because I think they do it at the Greenbrier and that's probably where you saw
25:15
it. That's where I saw it. Yeah, exactly, that's where I
25:18
saw And I've never been to the Greenbrier for anything other than a news stories.
25:22
That's it. And so that's that's kind of the rundown. So they
25:26
get some really cool things if you want to take a break from seeing the
25:29
more than two hundred vendors that they have up there. Unlike the show here
25:33
in Charleston, which is all basically just booths up there, they've got you
25:37
know, tons of those the similar tim tim booths that they have here at
25:41
the hunting for show in Charleston, but up there along with that, they've
25:45
got an area where they can have bigger exhibits. So they got four wheelers
25:48
and boats and campers and rbs and lawnmowers and tractors and stuff like that.
25:53
So they've got they got everything from you know, from a from a fish
25:59
and lowre to a four wheeler, and everything from a turkey call to a
26:03
tractor. So you can check that out while you're up there and bring a
26:06
check book. You can probably put a down payment on any of that.
26:08
They've got the trips to where you can book a trip up in the expeditions.
26:12
Yeah, that's good stuff. Are friends Davison Brothers going to be up
26:15
there this year. I don't think they're going to perform, but I think
26:18
they are going to be there. I've heard Donnie doing some promotion for the
26:22
show. I think he might actually be He might actually sing the National anthem
26:26
on Sunday, because they do that. That's a thing up there. Okay,
26:30
so he'll be there and you'll get an opportunity to meet him. I
26:33
don't know if if Chris is going to be there or not, but at
26:34
least one of the Davison Brothers will be there. Like you've heard, their
26:37
ads are running our stations here. They sound real good. All right,
26:41
Chris Hope to Hope, you have a great show man. It's going to
26:45
be a fantastic weekend. It always is. Should be a lot of fun.
26:47
And if you got nothing else to do, you can drive to Morgantown.
26:49
It's not that far. Come on up and see us. The admission
26:52
is twelve bucks at the door. For adults six to twelve get in for
26:56
five bucks, and under six get in free. And if you're a veteran
27:00
show proof of that. And it's half prize six bucks to get you in
27:03
both days. So check it out, all right. We wouldn't spend a
27:06
little time on the show tomorrow talking with Rachelle Baty, who's one of the
27:08
people that's based out of Morgantown that's doing the things kind of on that end.
27:11
Yeah, she's kind of in charge of it all. I'll work for
27:14
her this week. Well, I mean, if you're at home, you
27:17
work for your wife. You go up there and you work for her.
27:18
So pretty much ever where I go and in the morning and here I've got
27:22
Carrie to order me around, so anywhere I go. I need a woman
27:25
to be in charge so I can just do my job. All right,

32:37
I probably should have, but yesterday was mister Kerchival's birthday, So go
32:40
ahead, and I sent him a text yesterday tell him that. So I
32:44
think he likes See what of those guys likes to downplay the birthday thing,
32:47
And that's okay, But yesterday was mister Kay's birthday, so the goat celebrated

I'll have Ryan fire that up and we'll play that for him. All right,
33:09
So, oh, let me knock out a couple of text before we
33:12
gets to Jimmy risk In here. Tex says, if Charleston City Council passed
33:15
a meaningless resolution supporting razor wire at a border crossing in Texas. Even though
33:21
it's called deaths and hindered law enforcement. People to the state would pop the
33:23
champagne for council, says a Texture textas says Dave, you want to share
33:29
some data CBBCBP data info on the stark differences and activity of the two border
33:36
locations that Trump and Biden will visit today. Trump will make the trip to
33:40
Eagle Pass, where over the last five days, border patrol have apprehended over
33:44
two thousand illegals. Biden, says a Texture, will go to Brownsville,
33:49
where there were only forty six. Brownsville hasn't seen significant activity since May as
33:54
title forty two was ending. That's last May as title forty two was ending,
33:59
says a tech. It was the number one spot for a while,
34:00
then Texas lock down using razor wire, state troopers and National Guard. It
34:06
has been largely silent ever since. As a Texter, Yeah, I was
34:08
actually I've got TV on as always do. Here in the studio, they
34:10
were talking about that both former President Trump and current President Biden will be heading
34:16
to the border two different locations, though they will be there today. Dave

34:30
All right, So I told you yesterday that there were going to be
34:36
more and more layers to this story on the jimmy Riston deprivement Transportation Secretary of
34:42
jimmy Riston. I told you there going to be more things to break and
34:45
every now and then, your old radio buddy here, Dave knows what he's
34:50
talking about every now and then. So there was a lot of breaking news
34:52
in the story yesterday. So let's kind of recap. On Tuesday night,
34:57
February twentieth, person that identified themselves as an off duty trooper called nine to
35:05
one one here in the valley to say that they were witnessing a motorist driving
35:10
erradically and they, from what I understand, proceeded to follow said motors.
35:15
The motorists or the person was identified as Transportation Director jimmy Riston. Charleston Police
35:23
Department pulled over risdon Uh and he was reportedly able to pass two field sobriety
35:31
tests. And was then released to a friend who picked him up. Now,
35:37
the next day, many media members of Charleston were sent videos, pictures,
35:45
et cetera, et cetera of the whole thing. Well, yesterday I
35:51
kind of had an indication that this was going to happen, but you know,
35:54
getta wait it, gotta wait it out. Yesterday the information came out
35:59
that many people, including myself, had suspected all along that Jimmy Riston may
36:04
have been the victim of a setup. And those words came via a release
36:10
from the Charleston Police Department and the new Chief, Scott Dempsey. In a
36:15
release yesterday, Chief Dempsey said both internal and external investigations proved a number of
36:23
things that were different from what was being put out there to the media from
36:30
outside parties. Quote from Chief Dempsey, this is a direct quote as of
36:36
today, meaning yesterday, we meaning Charleston p D, have determined the information
36:40
that was relayed to the Charleston Police Department regarding mister Riston driving erratically does not
36:46
appear to be truthful. End quote. It was not an off duty police
36:55
officer, at least not a trooper as what was originally reported. Now,
37:00
there was speculation originally that the person who called nine to one one wasn't a
37:07
cop at all. Leslie Rubin of WHS Television no relation, and Fox eleven
37:14
Eye Witness News has reported that the person who made the call was the chief
37:20
of police of the community of Glasgow here in Canawan County. Now all the
37:25
information, according to Chief Dempsey, has been turned over to the Kanawha County
37:32
Prosecutor's Office for consideration of possible charges. Chief Dempsey again said that mister Ristin
37:45
did smell of alcohol, but again was able to pass two field sobriety tests.
37:53
So what's next, Well, the governor spoke about it again yes esterday,
38:00
and this third person kind of a thing that God Bless him, that
38:04
the Governor does from time to time, saying Jim Justice is upset, and
38:07
he referred to himself as Jim Justice. Of course, he has expressed his
38:10
disappointment over the entire situation, and Jeff Jenkins has a complete story, very
38:20
very in depth story on this posted at wv Metronews dot com. I also
38:23
understand that Hoppy is going to be following up on this. Hoppy, of
38:28
course, as I said earlier, is live at the Capitol today he's also
38:30
going to be following up with this, and he may indeed have Leslie Rubin,
38:35
who's one of the reporters from the area from CHS and Eyewitness News that's
38:39
really been all over this, and I think they were trying to get her
38:43
on the show. Don't know whether that happened or not, but I think
38:45
they were trying to get her scheduled to be on talk line with Hoppy coming
38:47
up a little bit later on. But as I said, it seems to
38:57
me that this entire thing, I'm not a police officer, I'm not an
39:02
investigator. I watched Star skin Hutch as a kid. That's as far as
39:06
I go this. It appears to me to be this whole thing was a
39:12
setup, plain and simple. I said that from day one, when I
39:16
said it on the air, that there was something that was very peculiar,
39:20
very interesting, and very just plain old weird about this case. Now,
39:27
all that having been said, there is the issue, and this is something
39:34
that Governor Justice has alluded to and is going to have to address. The
39:40
police said that although he did pass field sobriety test, mister Ristin did smell
39:49
of alcohol, which is a problem when a you're operating in a state vehicle,
39:57
as mister Riston was and b when you hold such a high position in
40:02
government. And I'm not sure of the policy of the state Department of Transportation,
40:13
but I can tell you, as I mentioned before, that during my
40:17
limited time, which was four years in state government, the agency that I
40:22
worked for, had a strict policy against operating a motor vehicle after driving.
40:30
Our policy just plainly said you are not to operate a state vehicle after partaking
40:39
of alcoholic beverages. It did not say you had to be drunk, did
40:46
not say you had to be convicted. It said, point blank, in
40:50
the agency that I worked for, you cannot operate a state vehicle if you
40:53
have had a drink, one beer, one glass of wine, whatever,
40:59
off limits. It's known, at least that's the way the agency operated that
41:04
that was a part of this whole thing. Though, as I said,
41:07
it's just really really bizarre, as why would, as it appear, someone
41:16
follow and if it's the same person or people then take time to send pics
41:22
and video to the media. It certainly seems from my perspective to seem like
41:30
some sort of a setup. Although I don't know why. I don't know
41:35
who, well, we I mentioned you know, I didn't mention the name.
41:37
But that's what's being reported at least by one entity in Charleston as to
41:40
who it was. So now Charleston Police Department, including chiefs Dempsey, as
41:45
he said yesterday and the release as turned over information to the Kenaw County Prosecutor's
41:51
office, and there could be criminal charges for the person persons that's that did
42:00
this, you know, calling nine to one one and reporting that someone is
42:07
driving radically when they're not miss possibly misrepresenting yourself. If that's indeed what happened,
42:14
there's going to be there's gonna be issues they're going to come out of
42:16
this. It's an ongoing investigation obviously, and Chief Dempsey put out that release
42:22
yesterday. It's not over by any stretch of the imagination. It's still got
42:25
to be investigated. We don't know what the state's going to do about it,
42:29
state meaning the governor, so we don't know what's going to come from
42:31
there. But it's uh, it's a it's a very very strange story,
42:37
indeed. But Dave Allen show on five Any Live is broad to in part

43:04
well, it looks like slippery Secretary Jimmy Wriston is going to slide out if
43:07
yet another scandal. I suppose if a person is a prominent position, they're
43:10
allowed to flaunt the rules. No alcohol while operating the state vehicle question mark
43:15
does not apply. Apparently if you are the transportation secretary. Again, investigation
43:21
is continuing. Okay, text says the officer said, risten ha an alcohol
43:23
in his breath. It was strong enough to warrant field sobriety tests and have
43:27
someone drive him home. As far as I know, a state worker is
43:30
not allowed to operate any state vehicle after consuming alcohol. So do these rules
43:36
not apply to the bosses? Says a texter. Texter says David Riston wasn't
43:43
drunk. Why did he have to get a ride? Well, you know,
43:45
I wasn't there. I wasn't in a police car. So I don't
43:47
know. There comes a time that maybe everybody involved thought that was the thing
43:52
to do, you know, And I applaud that decision. By the way,
44:00
all right, I'll try to get back to that one. Okay,
44:08
I don't know about that one. I gotta watch here. I mean,
44:12
I like to try to read all the text I can, but I've also
44:14
got it. I'm gonna have to I'm gonna go to break and I'm gonna

if he didn't drink anything, why did CPD make him get right? Well,
48:19
I didn't say. It's not been said he didn't drink anything, Okay,
48:22
It just says that he passed the sobriety tests that we're there. That's
48:27
that's what it says. Yesterday was crossover day and will legislature crossover day the
48:31
final day the bills can be sent from one chamber to the other. The
48:35
House yesterday passed a bill that would remove the exemptions meant to allow miners going
48:42
through gender dysphoria to be treated with minimum dosages of medication if it's determined that
48:50
they are at risk themselves or others. It is House Bill fifty two ninety
48:55
seven. They will now go to the Senate. Houseman Ramy Summer's a Taylor
48:59
County who is the House Health Chairwoman, spoke in favor of it. Delica
49:04
jeff Foster Putnam County was the lead sponsor of the bill. Now, some
49:07
Democrats spoke out against it, including some who were taking issue with the fact
49:13
that no doctors, no medical professionals were called into testify. Delicate Evan Hansen
49:20
of Montaguelia County noted the fact that Republicans, this is his words, seem
49:24
to speak a lot about parental rights, maybe think travel ball or something like
49:29
that, but in this particular piece of legislation, it actually removes the element
49:36
of parental approval for those treatments. Now, Brad has a complete story posted
49:39
about it on the website. The whole thing seeming inconsistency is the subject of
49:49
Hobby's commentary this morning. Now you can read it on the website. I
49:52
actually heard it this morning on the air. In the commentary, Hobby references
49:58
HB fifty one oh five, which and school vaccine Exemptions House built forty two
50:02
ninety nine that would permit teachers and staffs to arm themselves. Then there is
50:07
SB centatebille for sixty eight that would require eighth graders to watch the video Meet
50:14
Baby Olivia that is done by the anti abortion group called Live Action. And
50:21
in the commentary, Hoppy's point is that teachers can decide for themselves whether or
50:25
not they want to carry in school grounds, but the state legislature is dictating,
50:32
is dictating this without input from parents, that they have to show a
50:37
video. And this is kind of the point of Hoppy's commentaries. What he
50:43
sees is somewhat of an inconsistency, which is something that the Democrats or I'm
50:46
sorry that the Republicans accused the Democrats of for years now. On the video
50:51
itself, this Meet Baby Olivia, I have not seen it. I've read
50:54
about it. I do know several teachers who have said that no matter what,
51:00
they will not show the video. They will not show it during their
51:04
classrooms. Again, I haven't seen it. Maybe Ryan, maybe they should
51:08
take the video and put it in school libraries since that's where many Republicans think
51:15
kids go for pornography. Anyway, maybe they should put it there. You
51:19
know, a safe space for porn according to some legislators, is the library,
51:23
So let's just show the video there. Uh, Texas, Dave I
51:29
called in all the time reporting state vehicles speeding or driving erradically. Am I
51:32
breaking the law? Well? No, not necessarily if you're just reporting it.
51:39
But if you go to the point of saying that you're a cop,
51:43
then yeah, you may be. You may be. Dave Island Showing five
