  Speaker 3: We are awaiting an appearance from Metro News meteorologist Brian Hughes.

  Speaker 3: Brian is working in the Metro News Weather Center as
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: we speak, so we planned to have him at the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: top of the show. He'll probably come running down here
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: just in a moment. But I will tell you that
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: we are expecting possibly some severe weather in certain areas
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: by the time you head home from work today. The
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: entire area of the entire WCCHS listing area is under
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: a flash floodwatch. I can tell you that for sure.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: And we had some rain that rolled through the early
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: early this morning. I actually my cat decided, one of
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: my cats decided this morning at three thirty I needed
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: to be awake, and so I was awake with Whalan
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: this morning and I heard the thunder. But then I
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: got up and I was like, I do think the
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: ground is wet, but it is raining a little bit now,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I think Charleston. So if we can get break Brian
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: away from the computer, we'll bring him out. And a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: reminder that you can follow Metro News mediorologist Brian Hughes
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: by downloading the Metro News television app or by following
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: online as well Brian and his team of meteorologists, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: so we'll try to bring him here in just a
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: little bit. The gentleman you heard they're laughing at me
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: in the background was Sean Hill from KRT. Hey doing
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: my friend, welcome to the show.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm doing fantastic. Thanks for having me, Dave.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So do you have a pet? Are you a pet?
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Gany?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I do?
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: And my cat woke up at one am with a hairball,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: so that was different than it is but same effect.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Oh wait, yeah, one of our cats has decided now
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: that he likes to sleep on my side of the bed,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and you know that he he needed to let me
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: know of his presence at about three thirty this morning,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and so yeah, that's that's how that's how, that's how
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: that went. Shawn, of course, is the executive director of
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: k RT. How are things been with you?
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Hey? Things have been actually going really well. And for
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: the last time we spoke, I was in here, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: telling people how important the Kanawha County Publics Safety Levee was,
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: and I'm thrilled to come back and let you know
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: that there was overwhelming approval of that safety levee, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: I want to thank the first the Kanawu County Commission
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: for putting that on the ballot, and they do that
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: every five years. And we can't say enough about how
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: appreciative we are and all of our partners who helped
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: make that happen, and most especially to the public who
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: came out and said, hey, emergency services, whether that's fire, ambulance, buses, police,
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: everything is so important to the citizens in Kanawak County
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: and that really allows us to aim towards the future
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: and budgets, et cetera with some confidence of what our
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: funding is going to look like.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: What did I mean I don't know if you know
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: this all of the top of your head, but how
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: much did it pass by? What was the percentage? I
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: mean it was overwhelming hopefully it was.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Yes, it was overwhelming. So a safety levee needs sixty
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: percent approval and we got seventy five percent this time.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: So it's really nice. And again we don't take it
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: for granted. Every single time we go out there and
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: push like it's you know, like it's going to fail,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: but thankfully it's performed extremely well over the last several iterations.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Right, we are Brian is gonna can we pause you
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: just once? We came because I didn't want to do.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: The weather either way, all right, good to see you always.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, all right weather gey.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, sorry, I got pulled into a meet and you
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: know how that works.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I fully understand that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Fascinating.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a biscuit or saw? Was it bacon or
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: sauceweaters today?
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: No, sausage?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, always, but I do love the bacon though,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: candy bacon especially.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: All Right, all right, tell us about the weather and
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: then I'll get back to Sean.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: We're looking at it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: You look at the you guys.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Match well, that means means we are provac Yeah, that's right.
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: We are.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's almost matches a little bit of color. You know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I may actually get a picture that posted on So.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: We has dinosaurs and I have I have uh, well, cocktails.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, well of course you did. All right, what's the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: weather it was?
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: And we were looking at flash flud watch.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It really kicks off this afternoon about one two o'clock
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: afternoon when the flash flood watched.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: It goes into effect.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We are going to see very heavy rainfall with these
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: showers that developed today, and a lot of that's going
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to be from this tropical air mess that we have.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That's how the golf it's really it's a combination of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: golf and Atlantic moisture. When you get those two sort
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of teaming up, it becomes messy. Now we're not looking
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: at significance of your weather event, but we do have
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: gusty wins a primary threat outside of the flash flooding.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: As we go in this afternoon, temperatures low eighties, not
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: bad at all for temperature wise, and then we cool
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: down over the next couple of days, especially in the mornings.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: We'll have some fog over the next couple of mornings,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: but for today, we are looking at heavy rainfall. An
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: inch is probably an easy target of what we're going
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to see. There will be spots that have higher numbers
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: than that, especially if you get one storm that runs
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: over the same area a couple of times.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: All right, and so the entire area, our our entire
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: lis scenarios under flash.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Entire wors scenarios under a flash flowball until and that
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: goes until tonight. I think it was eleven tonight I think,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: is what I think, because most of the showers will
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: be wrapping up as we're getting about to about seven
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: eight o'clock tonight. But the stuff that goes to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: over night into the late night hours will just aggravate something.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be anything that's going to cost
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: any more significant fooding.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: So the big deal here, we're not looking like a
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: tornado event or anything like watches or warnings or anything
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: like that. It is going to be heavy rain, right.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And that that's really it's it's soaking rains. And right
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: now we're already you know, we're not water logged. But
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the rain that we did have as we went into
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: last week did not did not help our situation for today.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Later on this week, though, we're going to drive Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Thursday and then Thursday nights and more rain moves in
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and we've got often on rain chences all the way
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: through the weekend.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: All right, what time are we looking at this s
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: epternoon when these storms should fire up? Approximately? I mean,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I know it's yeah, we've got exactly but right, we've
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: got stuff that's right now that's just across parts of
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: eastern Kentucky that's starting to move in.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: So over the next about two hours so we're going
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to start to see our first rounds of rain that
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: will start.
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: To pick up.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And a lot of this, by the way, a lot
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: of this has embedded lightning. The one thing that we
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: had that we've had over the last number of times
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, by the way, that Saturday rain.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Hello, that was a surprise.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: But the one thing, Yeah, it rained late Saturday night
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: is like eleven o'clock all of a sudden.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was like, oh, I.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Was already asleep.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I was out.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know how, but I was out, and I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: was like, whoa where did that rain? I mean, honestly, goodness, Ok,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, actually, Spencer Atkins, you and I are
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: still very good friends.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: I textament so about that rain.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: He goes, yeah, this just kind of happened.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: One of those things that, yes, sometimes even we get surprised.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, but people need to kind of
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: just be as they say, be weather alert, just kind
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: of keep an eye.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Very much so today. So in other words, no bus
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: is driving through low water exactly.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Well, if you're planning on walking, you might as well
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: catch the bus.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Right exactly, Yeah, all right, way to appreciate it. Man,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: thanks a lot, meditated for sure, Man, nice shirt. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: got a pretty sure. I didn't get the I guess
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't get the memo, but the uniform change, all right, Brian,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: thanks a lot. All right, So let's get back to
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: shan Hill KRC. I did want to talk about this,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: the maintenance facility. We did the story by do you
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: guys got to do maintenance And it's for the first
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: time in how long gosh.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: So we have an eighty five year old maintenance facility
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: over there on the west side of Charleston that's been
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: in you know, it was developed for street cars, et cetera.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: You know, so it's about that should tell you.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it gives you a little idea. And you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: for years we've been attempting to get some federal funding
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: to help build a new maintenance facility that's kind of
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: right size. So instead of an eighty thousand foot street
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: car facility, we're talking about a twenty five to thirty
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: thousand foot state of the art facility. And I can't
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: say enough about my appreciation for our federal partners. So
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: we last September we received a twenty one million dollar
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: grant to help do that. We're now in the design
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: phase and working through that because you know, you can
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: have the best system on paper, but if you don't
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: have buses running, or if your buses are down for
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: a prolonged period because of your infrastructure, you know, it's
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: terrible for everyone. So it's kind of it's not as
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: exciting to our passengers, but to our entire system into
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: keeping things modernized and rolling forward. It's it's essential for us.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I see what you did, they're rolling for us. See
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: what you did there. Now you got to use it
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: for you got some public is coming up, because there's
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: some we've already seen changes with KRT there and there
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: could be more coming.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Exactly, and so we continue to try to find creative
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: ways to continue to deliver the service that our passengers
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: have come to depend upon, but also take into account
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: the budget realities that everyone you know across the board
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: are facing. So we are getting ready to schedule some
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: public hearings where we're going to go out and listen
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: to our passengers. We're going to throw out some ideas
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: for our board. You know, our board does a great
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: job of listening to the feedback from the passengers and
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: then coming to a conclusion of okay, this is these
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: are the realities. We've got to save some money somehow.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: How do we do that in a way that minimizes
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: the impact to our passengers the most. One of the
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: first things we're going to do, though, is on July twentieth,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: we're transitioning four of our current fixed routes over to
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: the KRT Plus. That's that on demand ride share ESK
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: service where you download an app or you call into
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: our office and we schedule a ride. So come July twentieth,
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Route ten, eleven, sixteen, and eighteen are going to transition
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: to that KRT plus on demand service that allows us
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: to send out a smaller vehicle on demand, so we
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: come out on your schedule. You're not living on ours,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: So that's a plus. It's still the same dollar fifty,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: but instead of driving our buses around in circles all
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: day for sometimes nine people on Route eleven or you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: eleven on Route eighteen, we'll send the smaller vans out
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: there whenever they're actually needed. That's going to save us
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. So we're coming
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: up with creative ways to still serve individuals but save money.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: And then we're going to go out to have some
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: deeper discussions and some tougher talks about how what changes
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: we need to make to make sure we can pay
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: the bills.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And when you say tougher decisions and talk, what were
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: we talking about?
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So what we're really talking about is looking at
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: the performance of certain routes, and it's looking about how
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: do we perform the core mission, which is obviously connecting
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: people to opportunities. So we've got to get people to work.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: You know, I can't overemphasize how important KRT is to
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: our economy and workforce development. Get people to medical appointments,
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: get into grocery stores. How do we do that while
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: realizing we have almost a two million dollar deficit right now?
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: So you start looking at we've over the last couple
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: of years, We've done the easy things, which is the
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: administrative changes, some of the processes, et cetera. Now it's
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: the tough thing. So looking at different routes, what makes
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: sense for us to continue to run. You can only
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: minimize frequency so often before you have routes that don't
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: really sustain actual transit. They look like they do, but
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: they're just for appearances. Right, So so.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: You're looking at a I think you said almost two million,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: so it's like almost a two million dollar deficit exactly.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: And how does that happen? I mean just yeah, I
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: mean just sure. So it's a great question. So it happens.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: It doesn't happen overnight, but it happens. You know, COVID
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: had a big impact on public transit in a weird
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: way that I don't think people understand. You know, we
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: had almost two million passengers a year in pre COVID
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: times and now we've dropped down to about one million.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: You know, these people didn't all get remote jobs. They
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: didn't all decide, hey, we're just not going to ride
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: the bus. But the transit community they're very resourceful, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: once they find in all tternative way to get to
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: wherever they're going, they're going to depend on themselves instead
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: of you know, public transit. When during COVID, that was tough.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: So you lose a million passengers right there, A million
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: passengers times a dollar fifty, you're in a one point
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: five million dollar hole essentially. But everything gets more expensive.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: We've seen that across the board with insurance prices, labor. Now,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: we used to order a bus and and you know
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: you could get it in six to eight months. Now
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: it's an eighteen month turnaround. And those buses are now
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: almost six hundred thousand dollars of people.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Don't realize I think how much buses in general, whether
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: it's yours or school bus or what I mean, six
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: six of the average bus is six hundred thousand dollars.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and so it's incredible, and you start talking about
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: we have forty nine buses and you know, how do
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: you make that work? So it's the tough things. It's
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: going out there to the public and presenting to them
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: different scenarios of okay, well, if we're going to make
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: this work, you can only pay your pay your bills
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: with your savings account for so long before you run out.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: And we've done projections, and the last thing we want
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: to do is hit that point. So we're taking the
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: proactive approach saying, hey, we're a few years in advance
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: of this being a critical emergency. Let's make some deliberative
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: choices so we don't have to make an emergency decision.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: You know, where we have no other options.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Talking with Sean Hill, KRT got a text question here
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: for you. Unlike Uber, will these buses only have one
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: pick up or will they go from one to I
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: have to stop here and get this person having two
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: different fairs at one time.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so they are they maximize there's an algorithm that
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: maximizes our ability to pick up individuals so that you're
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: not guaranteed to ride by yourself if we can pick
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: up someone else in the area. That's kind of the
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: point is say, how can we maximize the ability for
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: these vans and our drivers to pick up as many
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: people as possible. We have certain rules of when you
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: get picked up. You have a time frame of when
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: you have to be dropped off. So if if picking
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: up Dave and then picking up Brian makes it so
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: that you don't get to your appointment in time, then
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: the system's not going to allow me to pick up Brian.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Tell him he's punished for not being on time. So
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: you'll get a ride, but the other person won't. So
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: it is ride share, and again that's to maximize the
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: cost efficiency of that. But it's not going to be
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: like an Uber where you can pay a little more
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: and ride by yourself.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: All right, Now, you're going to let us know about
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: these public hearings, right, yes, I'll have you when When
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: is the first one?
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: We don't have it scheduled yet. So the first thing
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: we're doing is transitioning us four routes, and we want
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: to make sure that and hit those four routes again. Yes,
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: those four routes are Route ten, eleven, sixteen, and eighteen,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: So that's City Park Works, Avenue, South Park, and Fort Hill.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: That's going to happen on July twentieth. We want to
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: make sure we get that out of the way. We're
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: going to do a public information campaign and thank you
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: for having us here. That's the first stop of that campaign,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: making sure we get the info out on the buses
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: down at the city Center, online, et cetera, so that
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: people can understand and learn that system as they move
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: over to kr T plus. And then in the coming months,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: we're going to get the information out and hold a
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: series of public hearings.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: All right, and remind remind me to remind you. I
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: want to have you back on you know, before those
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: changes have We have one final text here and we
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: let you go how far out will these buses go,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: so Assistantville Clendon and LF you. Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: So the KRT Plus program, there are six zones and
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: so it's got and they are centered around Kart's headquarters.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: So we've got East Charleston, West Charleston, We've got Kanaw City,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: South Hills, South Ridge, and South Charleston. So the system
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: works when you're in an area close to where your
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: vehicles are. I'm not going to pretend that it works
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: as well the further you spread out. That would require
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: us to have way more employees and way more vehicles
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: to accommodate. If someone in Cistonville or and Montgomery says, hey,
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: I need picked up and taken to an appointment, the
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: system doesn't work really well when we tell you, hey,
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: it's going to be forty five minutes or an hour
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: before we come get you. So it is those six
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: zones that currently exist. I'm not anticipating us expanding those
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: zones much more right now, but the data shows we're
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: able to with our current staff perform our service in
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: those six areas, so we know we can accommodate it.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: We've done an eight month trial program to make sure
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: it'll work, and now it's just actually turning it on
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: and saying hey, you know, for the individuals who've been
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: writing fixed Route, now you can use this charity plus.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: So all right, well have you back on as we
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: get a little closer to the thistlit date. Jean, thanks you,

• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Power comes from knowledge.

• 19:51
  Speaker 3: hand me your phone and you got a begging huh.
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: So I.
• 19:55
  Speaker 13: I fished a section lower Gally and I went last night.
• 19:57
  Speaker 13: It was my Father's Day gift to me, right, it's me.
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: It was great. So I'm not catching. I'm throwing a
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: huge bait and I'm not catching a lot.
• 20:06
  Speaker 13: But right when I get in front of Larry Grocer's cabin,
• 20:09
  Speaker 13: I cooked a seventeen.
• 20:13

  Speaker 13: all I fish for it.

  Speaker 3: You're looking fish. I mean, I'm not a big fisherman,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: but it's oh yeah, that's it's big fish.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: That's quality.
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: The twenty twenty is what you're going for. You're going
• 20:32
  Speaker 13: for the Every time you get in the boat, you're
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: looking for the.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Twenty Okay, all right, all right. So the reason you're
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: here you text me last week and you said, I
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: want to talk about World Cup. Your assignment Rusty used
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: to make me care about the world cup Well.
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: First of all, the world is where they called a sleepover.
• 20:53
  Speaker 13: You probably haven't kept up with that, but they calling
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: it the greatest sleepover ever. So all these Internet national
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: people coming to the United States and they are overwhelmed
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: with what we have here.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: You know what, we take what you not.
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: You and I take for granted, but most people take
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: for granted, and they're just blown away. And any criticism
• 21:16
  Speaker 13: that has been going on about this country has been
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: drowned out by all of these posts on social media
• 21:24
  Speaker 13: buying the Europeans, especially the British, especially the BUCkies, the
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: vast pro shop, branch dressing, branch dressing, I mean, free refills.
• 21:37
  Speaker 13: I mean, it's things you just don't get over there
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: or anywhere. Right when I say over there, it could
• 21:42
  Speaker 13: be anywhere. But it's it's just a great and it's
• 21:45
  Speaker 13: happening at our most I had I have on here
• 21:49
  Speaker 13: Come America had on our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
• 21:53
  Speaker 13: And so many naysayers are like, this is going to
• 21:56
  Speaker 13: be a flop, They're going to hate us, and they
• 21:59
  Speaker 13: love us.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about it, absolutely loved. I was reading
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: an article yesterday about this and and it was an
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: article online and it and it contained in it various
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: video clips from you know, YouTube, TikTok and whatever. And
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: they were saying, you like these British people or or
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: for like anywhere, just saying I totally misjudged you. And
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I guess they had this image that America was like
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: and it and look it can be from time to time.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: But but but they're saying, we thought that as soon
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: as we got off the plane we were going to
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: be accosted by people with guns, and we thought all this, Yeah,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: and they talked about how nice people are, and I'm
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: not talking about people in West Virginia, talking about people
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: where they're playing in Dallas and wherever they are playing these.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Things right and.
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: On God, I saw one guy is like, he's like,
• 22:51
  Speaker 13: what kind of boat? He goes it's a bass Bogers
• 22:53
  Speaker 13: and wanted to take a ride. He's like, he's riding
• 22:55
  Speaker 13: a bass.
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: But like things that you just they just.
• 22:58
  Speaker 13: It's it's a cultural and I think the variety just
• 23:03
  Speaker 13: and we don't do it. We don't take advantage of either.
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: If you go to one or two of our national parks,
• 23:07
  Speaker 13: it will blow you away, especially being somebody from another country.
• 23:13
  Speaker 13: When I just you know, side note. When I went
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: to Yosemite, Rob and I it was like a religious experience. Man,
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: I'm telling you it is so daggone beautiful, just huge.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: But here's the best part. And you don't even know.
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: I mean, I guess you don't even know about it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: The unofficial song of the World Cup is Country Road Roads.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I do know that.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I actually heard a story that Daniel and Christ did
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: in the Morning News when I was driving in this
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: morning about that amazing.
• 23:42
  Speaker 13: So the Scotts started doing it in Boston and then
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: at the Australia US. Where was it in Portland, Oregon?
• 23:51
  Speaker 13: I guess the entire crowd sing it after the game.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's a.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Song that came out in nineteen seventy one, by the way.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: And here's the thing.
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: We've got to jump on these opportunities, Dave, you know,
• 24:07
  Speaker 13: we've got to start. We've got listen, no criticism against
• 24:10
  Speaker 13: tourism or Chelsea. Right, she does a great job and
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: she probably doesn't have that flexibility. But man, we should
• 24:16
  Speaker 13: be buying spot spot ads wherever we can and say,
• 24:20
  Speaker 13: visit the state that inspired the song, you know, get
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: those people back over here, Get them to West Virginia.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Chris told me about, or actually said this on the
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: air this morning. Chris Lawrence was in Detroit for a
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Tigers and White Sox game over the weekend. The crowd
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: started breaking out into Country Roads. Yeah, listen, Robin gets
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: mad at me. But every time I go, when I
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: go away to a foreign country or Hawaii for that matter,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I'll say where you're from, and I'll say West Virginia
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: and they'll kind of give me this perplexed look, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I'll go Country Roads and I go, oh, they go,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: oh yeah the song Country Roads, And then I'll ask
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: them to in videotape it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: So it's my thing.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 25:04
  Speaker 13: At the uh god, they were singing it at in
• 25:09
  Speaker 13: Paris at the one of the big Gosh, I can't
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: think it to.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Paris, France, not Paris to see it, by the way.
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they were singing it at Montclair. I think one
• 25:20
  Speaker 13: day I heard him up there.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I can tell you. And I've told this story in
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: the air before when Landau was in China. Yeah, uh,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: and the taxi driver picked him up. He said, and
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna there's no way you can do the
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: accent without making you sound you know correctly, I'm not
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: going to do the accent. But but but the driver
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: asked him, he said where are you from? And he
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: said West Virginia and the driver in China started singing
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: country that was about ten years ago, China.
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: I'll have taxi my uber drivers. I'll do the same
• 25:50
  Speaker 13: thing when they asked me where I'm from. One one
• 25:53

  Speaker 13: I was going to keep it all positive. But it
• 26:13
  Speaker 13: has literally been drowned out. Like like even the even
• 26:18
  Speaker 13: the you know, the the big media is is on
• 26:21
  Speaker 13: board for this, I mean, which is weird. They usually
• 26:24
  Speaker 13: find somebody to complain about something, right right, but uh wow,
• 26:29
  Speaker 13: it's just amazing. In the in the the Norway does
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: their Viking thing. Man, and here's the core. Here's what
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: here's what you're seeing. So we don't we don't cheer.
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: They're cheering is different. I mean what they do is
• 26:44
  Speaker 13: they go into a stadium and it's NonStop. I mean
• 26:47
  Speaker 13: it's like there's a soccer match happened to be going
• 26:50
  Speaker 13: on while they're cheering, and it's.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: More of a song thing than what we do.
• 26:54
  Speaker 13: We we do more chant, you know, let's go out
• 26:57
  Speaker 13: near as we are, Marshall uh in the flagwave and
• 27:01
  Speaker 13: it goes on and on and on and it never stops.
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: So what happens is they came over here and we
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: don't have that. We all we have is USA, right,
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: So what we're doing is in the middle of the
• 27:13
  Speaker 13: World Cup, we're trying to adapt USA to some kind
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: of European style, like they're teaching us, you know, how
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: we can kind of riven up. And I think, listen,
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: I think it's going to help soccer worldwide. I think
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: it's going to help soccer certainly in the United States,
• 27:30
  Speaker 13: which frankly doesn't need a lot of help.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: It's it's moving up huge popularity.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: But it's just.
• 27:40
  Speaker 13: Everything is positive about this thing, and nobody can take
• 27:43
  Speaker 13: away take that away.
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: It's just really good.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: You break God bless the USA enough.
• 27:49
  Speaker 13: Well, I saw this is not true, but I saw
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: this one British guy say it's not true. That actually
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: X corrected me when I posted it. True, but he says,
• 28:01

• 28:04
  Speaker 13: playing the US in Philadelphia.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: On July fourth, Like, how fair is that?
• 28:10

  Speaker 3: me that now need I need to be a fan
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: of it, he said. But then I asked him, I said, so,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: how's the USA doing? He couldn't tell me that he
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: was just he's all caught up in the in the
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: hype and the hoopla over you know, Country Roads and
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: that whole deal.
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: But it's all right, well, that's that's that's a good deal,
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: you know Country Roads. Now, I want you to picture this, okay.
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: I had just gotten back from Vietnam, and I'm laying
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: in a bunk in Eltro Marine Corps station which is
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: no longer there out in California, with my headphones on
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: which a lot of guys would just lay in their bunks,
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: and they had lockers with all their equipment in it,
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: and they would listen to the radio or whatever they
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: were listening to on the headphones. And I heard Country Roads,
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: and I'm not yet twenty one years old, and I
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: kept listening. I said what And then in seventy two,
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: I'm out of the service and I'm here. Governor Moore
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: was governor, and John Denver came and played on the boulevard, okay,
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: and Governor Moore gave him a check for five grand.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Of course, he also played at the opening a mountaineer
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: field in nineteen eighty, the new field up there as well.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know if whether you've heard Dave Wilson tell
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: this story or not, but one of Dave's mentors in
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: radio was a gentleman and I think it was a
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: WMV in Ravenswood, which now I owe by Tom Susman WMV.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: There was this gentleman that was again a mentor to Wilson.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Got I guess a John Denver album in or a
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: forty five or something like that, and saw this so
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: on Country Roads and thought, well, I'll just give it
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: a listen. And he listened to it, and he played it,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: and it was never supposed to be a single. He
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: was the first guy, a guy in West Virginia was
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: the first guy who ever played country roads on the radio.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: The record company wasn't happy about it. Record company is
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: calling him one hey cause you know, back in the
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: old days, you know you've been around a while, they
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: had they would and artist would release an album, and
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: they had certain cuts. This is going to be the
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: first single, this is going to be the second single.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: It's all planned out the way it used to be anyway.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: And so this guy, he decides to play country roads. Obviously,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: you start playing a song about West Virginia on on
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: rock radio country radio, people are going to go nuts
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: wanting to hear it. It spread like wildfire, and the
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: record company calls and goes, hey, what are you doing
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: that's not supposed to be played? And he said, well,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: look at how many requests I've got for this song.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: So then they released it as a single. That's a
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: true story.
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: I didn't know that. I wonder where year that was.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Well, seventy one is when the song came out.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: Well that's when I first heard it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was in seventy one. Text said a great
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: interview with Rusty. This country roads thing is nuts, says
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: a texture. All right, So I wanted to ask you
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: this past weekend. Of course we had all the cyclists
• 35:52

• 35:54
  Speaker 3: chance to take in any of the USA Pro Road

  Speaker 3: Championships while you were here on? Because it ran right
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: by your place? That's why I'm asking, did you know?
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: How can you take it in?
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: You couldn't move, But I mean it's right there by
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: where you live.
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: I see them drive down the street.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people enjoyed it.
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: I mean, well, I'm glad they did.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: You see the parties up in South Hills that they
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: had it.
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: Now And I'm not knocking it, okay, I'm just saying downtown. Now,
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: a lot of businesses like Corey Diner and like Starbucks
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: on the boulevard. It it's heard them. But you know,
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: that's one thing that happens when you have a big
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: event like.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: That, right.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: But there's some businesses that that just relished it. I
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: mean some of the bars and stuff. I know, people
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: down like places like five Street and those they loved it.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: How did they get there?
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: People?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: When people come out a lot of these people when
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: they come out to these things, they parked two or
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: three streets over and they plan on staying there. And
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: this town, I mean, I didn't take a lot of
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: it in.
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: I'm not knocking it either.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not either for it, but I'm just saying that
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: it brings a lot of money into Charleston as well. Okay,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: it does, all right, Okay, it's easily easily traceable, you
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: know from your cell phone it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: Okay, I mean, I hope. So that's what it's there for.
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: And it's uh, they got two.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: More years on it, yes, I think two two or three?
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Two or three?
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, all right, Uh so I want
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: to ask you about Trump, about President Trump, where do
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: we start? Iran New air Force one his expletives on
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Fox News. His truth social post about Democrats is viewed
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: with Italy. Where do we go?
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: Well, the thing with Italy was was just being him
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: being himself. Uh too, you believe why would he say
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: something like that about the prime minister over there?
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Because he's Donald Trump. That's what he does.
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, I watch a show on Sunday night. I
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: don't watch it, then I tape it and like I
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: listened to it this morning, Trey Gowdy Sunday Night in America.
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: I'd recommend it to anybody. He had Mike Pence on there,
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: and he asked Pence about and pencils are very delicate
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: and the way he went through this, but he called
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: what's going with iran appeasement. That's pretty strong.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: It is, And there's a lot of people, I mean,
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: on both sides of the owl that aren't happy with
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: the deal. And I mean, look, I can, I can
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: come on and talk about the notes that I that
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: I have on the agreement, but that was I was
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: working on that at seven thirty this morning. That's already
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: outdated by now.
• 38:48
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: That's how that's how these things are constantly changing.
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: Well, first, thing. They opened up the street and then
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: Lebanon bombed Israel, so Israel bomb Lebanon, and so then
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: they closed the straight. I mean, it's it's a joke,
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: it's it's it's and he just wants out now, he
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: just wants out of it. And if if you're going
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: to start something, you have to finish it. And he
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: never he never finished.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: That's what yesterday I was watching the ABC News show
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: and Chris Christy was on there and and and and
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: that's what Chris Christie said is, look, this thing started
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: off with really really good intentions. The majority of people
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: were behind it, but there was no real plan as
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: to as to how it was going to happen. Even
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: military experts have said that that you don't know what
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: the mission is, and some and and some, and we
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: don't know what the end game was. And here we
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: are several months later, and we we still don't know
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: what the endgame was. I mean, we everybody knows that
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: we wanted to obliterate the nuclear capabilities of Iran. We
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: get that. That's question was to whether that was done
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: or not. Because that goes back and forth.
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: General Keane said, Ron's gonna get rid of their nuclear stuff.
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: He bought up the facts. We didn't let the Nazis
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: denazify Germany. We did it. And the same thing with Japan.
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: Douglas MacArthur was in charge of Japan for a while.
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: And it's a joke. What's going on right now?
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: So what happens next?
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: No, I don't see anything good. I just I agree
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: with Mike Pence to peacement. You know, it's it's it's
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: just not gonna well his stay when it comes see,
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: I think forgive me. I just think Vant is an amateur.
• 41:07

• 43:26
  Speaker 3: read you this post and I reference this earlier. This
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: was on truth social from the President, he says, and
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: he's doing a poll, which do you prefer dumbocrat or
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: dumb with a B ocrat. In one case, you simply
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: exchange the E for the U, So simple and precise.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Many people don't know or assume that dumb ends in
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: a B. In other case, you spell out dumb do
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: U N B. But it seems to lose some of
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: this identity to Democrats when done this way, which is better.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Thank you for your attention to this very important matter.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: This was a poll and he and he wrote out
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: dumbocrat d U M O c r A T. Or
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: do you m B zero?
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: I'm zero?
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Sorry r H c r A T. My My thought
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: is as president of the United States, don't you have
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: something better to do? Gess what I mean? Look, I
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: appreciate humor. I do appreciate it.
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: That's not funny, but it's not I mean.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: And that's that's real. That's not that wasn't fake. That's
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: absolutely real. He took time.
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: Did you did you watch that joke I sent you
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: about the waff of House?
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: No?
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: I did not. I still have it.
• 44:40
  Speaker 8: That's funny. Now you want to watch him? That's funny?
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: All right? All right?
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: So as we celebrate get ready to celebrate America's two
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: hundred and fiftieth birthday. Here there's t J does a
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: really good commentary today. I have to give the boy credit. Uh,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: he always does good commentaries. But his commentary today was
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: about the reflective pool and how America should be more
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: concerned about other things. But we're all arguing about a
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: body of water. With all the problems that we have
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: in America. Do you think sometimes it's somebody and I
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: know the end, I know my opinion, I'll get yours
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: that sometimes the President just does stupid things to take
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: attention off of other things.
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: No, I don't think so. I don't think he did
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: the reflected pool. I mean, because he doesn't look good
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: on that. I mean, I don't know who planned who's
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: planning all these things, the reflected pool, all the paints
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: coming off.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I heard about a three minute clip this
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: morning on Morning in America with the President talking about
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: how this was the greatest thing ever. And he went
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: on to explain the type of paint that was used,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: and this is the greatest thing ever. And it looked
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: and I'm sitting there thinking, what am I listening to?
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: It's coming off?
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: What am I listening to here?
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: Why do you mess with it at all? Why mess
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: with a lot of stuff? Now? The thing he's building
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: at the White House that he didn't talk about, nobody
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: knew about, He's just started tearing stuff apart. If it
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: comes out the way it's supposed to, nobody will want
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: to say they were against it. But we don't know.
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: And now he's asking for money for it. It was
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: supposed to be paid for it privately. I mean, I
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: think we need something like that, But you would think
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: there'd been some buy in from somebody else. You just
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: don't start tearing the White House apart.
• 46:45

  Speaker 3: husband's Pizza dot com. Did you ever to read Phil
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: Cabler's column? I read it this morning on in Sunday's
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah or well yeah the weekend paper. Yeah, about the
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: possibility that the whole thing at the Correspondence dinner was staged.
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: I don't believe that.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: The thing about these events being staged, and it's been
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: you know, everything from Butler Pennsylvania to this is you'd
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: have to have the buy in of everybody involved, and
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: somebody eventually is going to crack. Somebody eventually is.
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: Going to Yeah, no, he's he's getting beside himself on
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: that one, that it's it wasn't staged.
• 47:34
  Speaker 10: It was.
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: I thought it was a lax and security quite frankly.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: But I guess the point was is that in years
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: past there had been a lot more security at this event,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: and the security was laxed this time. And why did
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: they suddenly change it when you have the a very
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: unpopular president. I know how poperary is in West Virginia,
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: but outside West Virginia you have a very unpopular president.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: Why would you not beef it up to the hilt.
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: We'll see how popular he is in the elections in November.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think it's going to be a bloodbath
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: like people think it is.
• 48:13

• 48:23
  Speaker 3: they're going down.
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 48:24

• 48:27
  Speaker 8: seventy six?
• 48:29

• 48:35
  Speaker 3: two Oh yeah, actually I do, I do. I was

  Speaker 3: six in September. My father took me to Ohio to
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: visit some of his family, and I was telling us
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: about the story the other day. I remember I was
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: five years old driving through all these little towns Springfield
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: and New Carlisle, these towns around Dayton, Ohio. And seeing
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: as a kid, just look as my dad left the
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: at like six o'clock in the mornings, we were on
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: the road just looking at how patriotic everything. Well, now
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: I'm a kid then, But.
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: Do you know, do you remember in Godfather Too that
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: where they stayed at the Hotel Washington, Well, that's where
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: I was. And down the street there was the Willard
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: wasn't wasn't redone yet it was claw closed up and
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: past the Willard was was based in sidewalk cafe. And

• 49:37
  Speaker 8: at one in the morning, and I wasn't walking that Well.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Well, it's one way to put it, all right, but
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: I have a good time. Tex says, you know, the
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: show has become basically a Trump bashed fest, because I
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: never hear either of you honestly say anything positive. It's
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: hard that he's done. By the way, the reflecting there
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: was actually an Olympic kayaker that was arrested for damage
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: in the pool over the weekend.
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: Well, i'd like to be able to say something. I
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: supported him on Israel and initially supported him on this
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: Iran thing, but it's turned into quite a mess. And
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: what to see what he comes up with. But you
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: know Ron's ridiculing him.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so Texas Lord of Guy day. There
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: will be no election blood bath. Nobody ever talks about
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Democrats are less popular than Republicans.
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: I don't believe that's going to be it. And you
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: know that's Democrat. He can take responsibility. Trump can take responsibility.
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: I'll leave everybody with this. He can take responsibility for
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: this Democrat socialist movement because once he came out against
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: that socialist mayor of the the candidate in DC.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Was it.
