- 0:22Speaker 2: be giving away prizes throughout the night. If you don't
- 0:25Speaker 2: know what an elimination dinner is, so basically, all the
- 0:28Speaker 2: tickets have a number, and those numbers will be on
- 0:32Speaker 2: a board and as we go through the evening, they
- 0:35Speaker 2: will start eliminating numbers, and throughout that process they'll be
- 0:38Speaker 2: giving away some door prizes and some fun things. But
- 0:42Speaker 2: if you are one of the lucky three that remain
- 0:46Speaker 2: on the board, we have a third place is a
- 0:50Speaker 2: five hundred dollars gift. The cash prize for second place
- 0:55Speaker 2: is seven point fifty and the whole thousand dollars for
- 0:59Speaker 2: the last winter with the last person that has their
- 1:01Speaker 2: number up on the board. It's always a good dinner, it's.
- 1:04Speaker 1: A good social And where's it going to be.
- 1:05Speaker 2: It is going to be at four to six Capitol Street,
- 1:10Speaker 2: which is just across the street from the old Daniel
- 1:13Speaker 2: Boone Hotel, and it'll be there at the Valley of Charleston,
- 1:18Speaker 2: Scottish Right building and if you don't have tickets, you

- 1:29Speaker 2: we're going to have a social hore from five to
- 1:31Speaker 2: six and then promptly at six dinner will be served
- 1:35Speaker 2: and we're going to start eliminating those numbers and try
- 1:37Speaker 2: to get through that process and get down to those
- 1:41Speaker 2: last three cash prizes, which is really exciting.
- 1:44Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun. I got to ask you
- 1:45Speaker 1: because I've been to several of these elimination dinners in
- 1:47Speaker 1: the past, and I don't know if whether your guys
- 1:50Speaker 1: are going to work this way or not, but what
- 1:52Speaker 1: I have noticed in the past there some of these
- 1:54Speaker 1: there tends to be a little bit of trading back
- 1:57Speaker 1: and forth, you know people and as the night perses people,
- 2:01Speaker 1: I mean, so what are your rules on that? Whatever
- 2:03Speaker 1: you want to do it.
- 2:04Speaker 2: There's a lot of different nuances to this, and to
- 2:07Speaker 2: be honest with you, it gets kind of fun and
- 2:11Speaker 2: a little bit hard to follow. But there's a lot
- 2:13Speaker 2: of opportunity for you to re enter the drawing and
- 2:18Speaker 2: all of those things. So it's going to be a
- 2:21Speaker 2: really fun, exciting night. And the way that they put
- 2:24Speaker 2: it on is just it's so entertaining and the food's good,
- 2:28Speaker 2: you know, and of course the philanthropy behind it is
- 2:33Speaker 2: the main thing. It's all about the children and that
- 2:36Speaker 2: Lawrence Jones Childhood Language Center. It's located at thirteen thirteen
- 2:41Speaker 2: Warrier just down the street, and so we're really excited
- 2:45Speaker 2: about that. They do a lot of work with children
- 2:48Speaker 2: who have language disorders.
- 2:52Speaker 1: And so it's a fantastic organization.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Is unbelievable.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I've had several folks on for various fundraisers and the
- 2:58Speaker 1: passing people from the would Center on the show in
- 3:01Speaker 1: the path. It's a great organization, it certainly is.
- 3:03Speaker 2: And the wonderful thing is all the services are free
- 3:06Speaker 2: to the children that need it, and the Scottish Right
- 3:11Speaker 2: is the main body that raises money for that and
- 3:15Speaker 2: keeps that going, and it's it's it's been a wonderful
- 3:18Speaker 2: thing for Kenall County right here in Charleston located. We
- 3:21Speaker 2: serve a lot of children in this area, so it's
- 3:24Speaker 2: it's a wonderful event to have a great time, but
- 3:27Speaker 2: also help the children here in our community.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Talk again with Chris witthrow a Dave Island Show and
- 3:32Speaker 1: five idyline brought to you in part by a Husband's Pizza.
- 3:35Speaker 1: This month get a large etenach Pepperoni pizza and a
- 3:37Speaker 1: large toss out that only twenty one ninety nine dine in,
- 3:40Speaker 1: pickup or get delivery at husbands Pizza dot com. So
- 3:42Speaker 1: if folks are going to get how many tickets are available?
- 3:45Speaker 1: I mean, I mean how many will you see? How
- 3:47Speaker 1: many will it hold?
- 3:48Speaker 2: Well, we're we'll have up somewhere between four and six
- 3:52Speaker 2: hundred tickets sold. You know we've got plenty still left.
- 3:56Speaker 2: So let's let's uh, we want to get everybody a
- 3:59Speaker 2: chance to buy those tickets.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Well, and the important thing for planning purposes is the
- 4:03Speaker 1: earlier if you're planning on going, the earlier you can
- 4:05Speaker 1: get your tickets, the better because you got to start
- 4:08Speaker 1: dealing with head counts and making sure that you don't right,
- 4:10Speaker 1: because there's there's nothing worse than running out of food.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Well, I can guarantee you we won't do that. The
- 4:16Speaker 2: ladies and all the gentlemen that that put this thing on.
- 4:20Speaker 2: They work hard and listen. As long as you're willing
- 4:23Speaker 2: to buy a ticket, we're going to give you one
- 4:25Speaker 2: and you're gonna have a great meal, great social hour
- 4:28Speaker 2: between five and six there on Saturday the eleventh, and
- 4:31Speaker 2: uh So it's going to be a really good, really
- 4:33Speaker 2: good time. And I hope we get people to come
- 4:35Speaker 2: in and buy some tickets and show their support for.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Days we've been saying for a wonderful, wonderful cause because
- 4:41Speaker 1: they do some they do some great with talk about
- 4:43Speaker 1: the work overall. You haven't been on in a while,
- 4:46Speaker 1: I mean of the Scottish Rights go ahead, Well.
- 4:49Speaker 2: The Scottish Rade Is is a Masonic body that very
- 4:54Speaker 2: much like the shrine they shrine. Obviously, their philanthropy is
- 4:58Speaker 2: the Shriner's Hospital will Are. So it's a little more located,
- 5:01Speaker 2: a little more focused here in Charleston with the Language Center,
- 5:06Speaker 2: and they help children who have a number of disorders
- 5:11Speaker 2: with speech, autism, ashbergers, a lot of different things. Hearing
- 5:16Speaker 2: impairments is, as you know, having a hearing impairment really
- 5:23Speaker 2: has a bearing on their speech. And so if we
- 5:27Speaker 2: start these children out at an early age, we can
- 5:30Speaker 2: help them develop their skills to so that they have
- 5:34Speaker 2: a normal, productive life when it comes to speech and
- 5:38Speaker 2: you know, that sort of issue. So it's it's a wonderful,
- 5:42Speaker 2: wonderful organization. The Language Center here in Charleston. They service
- 5:49Speaker 2: and deal with a lot of different disorders and I
- 5:52Speaker 2: don't think there's very few things that they've seen that
- 5:55Speaker 2: they've not been able to help these children. We have
- 5:57Speaker 2: lots of success and a lot of wonderful stories that
- 6:01Speaker 2: will be told throughout the evening about how specific children
- 6:05Speaker 2: with their needs and how we've been able to overcome
- 6:08Speaker 2: some of their disabilities. It's an awesome, awesome.
- 6:11Speaker 1: And of course, the earlier that you can get kids
- 6:13Speaker 1: the services that they need, the better off they are,
- 6:17Speaker 1: because I mean, I'm not trying to be pretend like
- 6:19Speaker 1: I'm an expert in this, but just in interviewing these
- 6:21Speaker 1: folks over the years, the earlier you can get kids
- 6:23Speaker 1: started in the service, the better off everybody's going to.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Be, absolutely and you know, having the ability for the
- 6:30Speaker 2: parents because you know, some of these services when you're
- 6:34Speaker 2: out there in the public is very expensive and it
- 6:37Speaker 2: kind of prevents people and that's one thing that we
- 6:41Speaker 2: take care of as Scottish Rite. We will raise those moneies.
- 6:46Speaker 2: We do what we have to do, and there is
- 6:48Speaker 2: no cost to the parents for this type of world class,
- 6:52Speaker 2: honestly treatment for their children, and it's we're really proud
- 6:55Speaker 2: of that, and that's really our mission down there. That's
- 6:57Speaker 2: our main philanthropy and we're very happy with what they're
- 7:01Speaker 2: doing down there.
- 7:02Speaker 1: All right, give us all the details again.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Absolutely, So it's gonna be Saturday, April the eleventh at

- 10:23Speaker 1: former sheriff, restauranteur, legislator, actor gravedigger and current author Danny Jones.
- 10:29Speaker 1: How are you, my friend?
- 10:31Speaker 6: I'm doing fun? Can you hear me?
- 10:32Speaker 1: Okay, we can hear you, just fine. And I appreciate
- 10:35Speaker 1: the visual. You sent me a picture at this beginning
- 10:37Speaker 1: of the program to let me know that you are
- 10:39Speaker 1: in place and ready to go, because it's what it's
- 10:42Speaker 1: six point twenty one where you are right now.
- 10:44Speaker 7: Right right right?
- 10:46Speaker 6: Can I tell you a quick story?
- 10:48Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want. You're Danny freakin Jones. Man.
- 10:52Speaker 6: You know. He was talking about the Lawrence June Language Center. Yeah,
- 10:57Speaker 6: that was my brother, yep. And I'll tell you what
- 11:02Speaker 6: story about him. He grew up with a speech impediment
- 11:06Speaker 6: and it was really bad, and he used to go
- 11:09Speaker 6: to Memorial Hospital and his teacher was a guy named Jeff.
- 11:15Speaker 6: And I would be outside the room waiting on Lawrence
- 11:17Speaker 6: to finish, and I was just you know, I was
- 11:19Speaker 6: in the fifties or maybe nineteen sixty, and Jeff would
- 11:25Speaker 6: just yell at Lawrence, and I thought quit talking to
- 11:28Speaker 6: him like that. But he not only did he develop
- 11:33Speaker 6: a voice, he developed a radio voice. And if you
- 11:37Speaker 6: want to ask about that, talked to Steve Bishop. And
- 11:41Speaker 6: so his passion and life became language. And in the book,
- 11:49Speaker 6: in my book, my parents had a lady that worked
- 11:53Speaker 6: for him, and her name was Laura, and my sister's
- 11:59Speaker 6: name was Laura. And Lawrence couldn't understand that. He didn't
- 12:05Speaker 6: he couldn't grasp that. So he started calling their God,
- 12:08Speaker 6: and then we all called her God. And God is
- 12:11Speaker 6: on their on their headstone, you know. And but he, uh,
- 12:21Speaker 6: he left three million dollars to that to do that
- 12:25Speaker 6: language center, and and that if Delta building has an endowment,
- 12:31Speaker 6: and I encourage people to support it. If I'd be
- 12:33Speaker 6: in town, I'd go.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Yeah, it isn't an amazing Danny, when you're talking about
- 12:37Speaker 1: your brother that some of the great speakers of our time,
- 12:43Speaker 1: take James Earl Jones for example, started out with a
- 12:47Speaker 1: lot of struggles when it came to language.
- 12:51Speaker 6: Well, and people don't like this guy, and I understand that.
- 12:55Speaker 6: I get it. But Biden had the heck of a
- 12:58Speaker 6: stellar and later on before he his brain started dripping.
- 13:06Speaker 6: I mean he spoke on the Sunate floor. He was
- 13:09Speaker 6: a pretty good speaker. So yeah, you're right. I mean
- 13:13Speaker 6: people can overcome that, and not only that, they can
- 13:17Speaker 6: become great speakers.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that, Danny. I have to ask
- 13:21Speaker 1: you about the President's post on truth social on Easter Sunday.
- 13:26Speaker 1: No less, I will quote and I will clean it up.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Yesterday morning he hit with Tuesday will be power plant
- 13:33Speaker 1: Day and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one in
- 13:35Speaker 1: a rod. There will be nothing like it. Open the
- 13:38Speaker 1: blank straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Just watch praise be to allad It was signed President
- 13:46Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump.
- 13:46Speaker 6: Your thoughts, Yeah, well, yes, there's Easter Sunday, and I
- 13:56Speaker 6: went to a Baptist search out here, and it's hard
- 14:03Speaker 6: to fathom the message I heard yesterday matching up with
- 14:11Speaker 6: that kind of message on Easter Sunday. So what it
- 14:15Speaker 6: tells me is he is go to church history and
- 14:21Speaker 6: and I'm I'm sorry President Trump has this negative instincts,
- 14:28Speaker 6: whether it be Robert Mueller or Rob Runner or all
- 14:34Speaker 6: that stuff is totally unnecessary. And you can put a
- 14:39Speaker 6: message out and then you and I can talk to
- 14:42Speaker 6: each other, and I can get vulgar, but I try
- 14:47Speaker 6: not to and he tries to. So what's wrong? And
- 14:55Speaker 6: what do you do when you're president? You make it
- 14:58Speaker 6: normal and it's Easter, Subby man shouldn't do that.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Well, And you know, it's one thing, in my opinion, Danny,
- 15:06Speaker 1: it's one thing, the way that you talk to the
- 15:09Speaker 1: people around you, whether it's your friends or family. I mean,
- 15:13Speaker 1: I certainly say things to certain friends that I wouldn't
- 15:16Speaker 1: say to other friends out of respect for them. Do
- 15:18Speaker 1: you understand where I'm going with that?
- 15:21Speaker 6: No, that's correct, You're exactly right. And I have, thank goodness,
- 15:26Speaker 6: I have tried to get away from doing that. I mean,
- 15:28Speaker 6: I was in the Marine Corps, and we we cuss
- 15:31Speaker 6: like sailors, you know, like the Marine Corps is part
- 15:37Speaker 6: of the Navy. So that's the way we cussed. And
- 15:41Speaker 6: I never quite got away from it. And I'm trying
- 15:44Speaker 6: to get away from it. And because you don't know
- 15:46Speaker 6: who you're going to offend, right, yeah, I mean he's
- 15:49Speaker 6: defending people. And let me tell you what has happened
- 15:52Speaker 6: to President Trump. He has lost for the first time
- 15:56Speaker 6: the working class white boat.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Do you think so?
- 16:01Speaker 6: Now?
- 16:01Speaker 1: I know so okay, but how does that say?
- 16:05Speaker 8: So?
- 16:05Speaker 7: Well?
- 16:05Speaker 1: And now I've got some pole numbers, I want to
- 16:07Speaker 1: roll and run by you. But does that change anything
- 16:10Speaker 1: in West Virginia in your opinion? Because I got some
- 16:13Speaker 1: poll numbers here recently. But in West Virginia, his approval
- 16:17Speaker 1: rating is about fifty six percent. Now that's less than
- 16:19Speaker 1: what it used to be. But based on my scrolling
- 16:23Speaker 1: of social media yesterday, it's I did not find that
- 16:28Speaker 1: one person that said, Okay, I'm done. I was on board,
- 16:33Speaker 1: I'm not now. I saw I saw comments from people saying, well,
- 16:39Speaker 1: I don't necessarily like it, but look at the big picture,
- 16:42Speaker 1: look at what he's doing with closing the border or
- 16:44Speaker 1: look what he's doing in Iran. I support that, so
- 16:47Speaker 1: I'm willing to let this go. I just don't think
- 16:51Speaker 1: it makes a difference in West Virginia, Danny.
- 16:53Speaker 6: To be honest with you, no it doesn't. I mean,
- 16:56Speaker 6: he had a seventy percent margin. It'll go down, but
- 17:00Speaker 6: it'll never go below fifty percent. And I tried to
- 17:04Speaker 6: explain to my friends out here. My best friend out
- 17:08Speaker 6: here is a public information officer for one of the
- 17:13Speaker 6: biggest star departments in the area, and I tried to
- 17:17Speaker 6: explain to him and my other friends, a lot of
- 17:20Speaker 6: whom are Democrats at West Virginia had nowhere to go,
- 17:26Speaker 6: and what happened when President Obama and his EPA closed
- 17:34Speaker 6: down all the coal lines and there was no Plan
- 17:37Speaker 6: B for those people, you still didn't. I mean, he's
- 17:41Speaker 6: tried to loosen that up to him, but it'll never
- 17:44Speaker 6: ring the way it was. I mean, because that affected
- 17:48Speaker 6: Charleston David, that affected the Lady Tower, all the coal
- 17:55Speaker 6: mines that were there, all the CTA firms are dependent
- 18:00Speaker 6: on the law firms. I mean, it has a ripple effect.
- 18:03Speaker 6: And then you go in southern West Virginia and you
- 18:06Speaker 6: think about heck beer joint. I mean, you think about
- 18:10Speaker 6: grocery stores. I mean in Welch, they couldn't even They
- 18:14Speaker 6: came in and build a Walmart and put all the
- 18:16Speaker 6: mom and pops out of business, and then that.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Yeah, when's the last time you heard about the walmart closing?
- 18:20Speaker 1: But it did. You're right in mcdowll County, the Walmart
- 18:22Speaker 1: did close.
- 18:25Speaker 6: And where did those people go to get groceries? I mean,
- 18:28Speaker 6: it's just it's hard, and it's it's difficult. And he,
- 18:37Speaker 6: of course this is his last term and he just
- 18:41Speaker 6: fired I understood, Well, you can fire and iron fire
- 18:47Speaker 6: who you want. But I wouldn't take that Attorney General's job,
- 18:51Speaker 6: but I'd recommend anybody. I hope Lee's Eldon, who I like,
- 18:55Speaker 6: who almost became governor of New York's the EPA guy.
- 18:59Speaker 6: I hope he doesn't take that job because I really
- 19:02Speaker 6: like him well.
- 19:03Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why, and a lot of
- 19:06Speaker 1: people I watched a lot of the news shows yesterday
- 19:08Speaker 1: and did a lot of reading near the weekend. One
- 19:10Speaker 1: of the reasons why, in a lot of people's eyes,
- 19:12Speaker 1: Pam Bondi was fired was because she wasn't going after
- 19:16Speaker 1: President Trump's enemies enough and he he pointed Blake, He
- 19:20Speaker 1: pointed Blank said that a couple of months ago. He
- 19:23Speaker 1: wants people that are going to go after his enemies.
- 19:26Speaker 1: It's a retribution tour. And he just felt like that
- 19:28Speaker 1: she just simply wasn't doing enough to go after his enemies.
- 19:34Speaker 6: Well, she she went after some of them, but she
- 19:36Speaker 6: wasn't successful because there were no sustainable charges. And you know,
- 19:44Speaker 6: call me and Latsia, James and those folks, they're just
- 19:49Speaker 6: they didn't have And by the way, the charges were
- 19:53Speaker 6: bought in Northern Virginia. You never put a jury together
- 19:58Speaker 6: and that and that district to convict any of those people.
- 20:03Speaker 6: Oh you had to do to say Trump's on the
- 20:05Speaker 6: other side.
- 20:08Speaker 1: We have a text here, Danny says, imagine if Clinton,
- 20:11Speaker 1: Obama or Biden posted an F bomb, let alone anything
- 20:14Speaker 1: else in that post yesterday on Easter. People who still
- 20:17Speaker 1: condone this buffoon have no respect for the office of
- 20:20Speaker 1: the president. I'm no fans as a texture of JD. Vance,
- 20:23Speaker 1: but at least he'd be less of a problem than
- 20:26Speaker 1: this guy referring to Donald Trump.
- 20:27Speaker 6: I think I think Marco Rubio would be the best
- 20:32Speaker 6: of the lot in that group. Yeah, I don't think that.
- 20:41Speaker 6: Once again, Trump's vulgarity is making it normal. Another and
- 20:50Speaker 6: on Easter Sunday, it tells me he doesn't nobody's talking
- 20:57Speaker 6: to him, No, nobody. He's not listening to anybody. And
- 21:01Speaker 6: you know, we're all guilty about that when we get
- 21:04Speaker 6: in power. Yeah, you know, you have to run things
- 21:07Speaker 6: by other people. Yeah, absolutely, But he doesn't do that,
- 21:12Speaker 6: and it's really sad and in the end it's not
- 21:17Speaker 6: going to work.
- 21:18Speaker 1: I caught you know, Uh, I don't always agree with
- 21:21Speaker 1: him on everything, but I am a fan and because
- 21:23Speaker 1: I think he's one of the most entertaining guys out there.
- 21:25Speaker 3: And it's Steven A.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Smith and he was on Bill Maher. Bill didn't do
- 21:29Speaker 1: a show this past week, but I caught last weekend
- 21:31Speaker 1: show yesterday and he was talking about it seems like
- 21:35Speaker 1: this time around that you know, during the first term,
- 21:40Speaker 1: President Trump had people around him who would push back
- 21:42Speaker 1: a little bit, and maybe not pushback, but maybe Danny
- 21:45Speaker 1: just said, well, you know, it's president. That's not a
- 21:47Speaker 1: good idea, okay on a particular subject. This time around,
- 21:50Speaker 1: it seems like he has surrounded himself by people. The
- 21:52Speaker 1: example that Steve was kind of funny that Steven A.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Smith used was anybody that brings him a cup of
- 21:57Speaker 1: coffee is going to set the coffee down out and
- 22:00Speaker 1: then go, mister President, it is my honor to be
- 22:03Speaker 1: able to serve you this cup of coffee.
- 22:05Speaker 9: Uh.
- 22:06Speaker 1: You're the greatest president ever. You deserve this coffee. That
- 22:08Speaker 1: was the word for Steve A. Smith, and he called
- 22:10Speaker 1: it sickening.
- 22:11Speaker 10: Uh.
- 22:11Speaker 1: And that's what it seems like, that's what this president
- 22:14Speaker 1: wants now. And then it seems like in many cases, Danny,
- 22:16Speaker 1: that's what he's getting.
- 22:19Speaker 6: And Stephen A. Smith is not some guy in the wall,
- 22:22Speaker 6: radical left winger either. No.
- 22:24Speaker 1: No, if you watch that interview, he took everybody out, Republicans, Democrats,
- 22:28Speaker 1: I mean, he took everybody out, but it was still
- 22:31Speaker 1: in a respectful way.
- 22:34Speaker 6: I love the guy. He's he's a he's a good man,
- 22:38Speaker 6: and and it's just it's just it's just sad that
- 22:44Speaker 6: it's come to this. I don't know about it, Ran,
- 22:48Speaker 6: I don't know. I'll tell you what surprises me, what's happened.
- 22:53Speaker 6: And I'm not sure if anybody's fawt to them firing
- 22:57Speaker 6: on their Arab neighbors and firing on the ones that
- 23:01Speaker 6: have been involved in the Abraham Accords, which which went
- 23:09Speaker 6: after Israel or decided to recognize Israel. And my question
- 23:17Speaker 6: is where is Sau the Arabian all this They've been
- 23:20Speaker 6: choreographing this thing, and they've got an army. Why aren't
- 23:25Speaker 6: they in there? They they hate Iran and they consider
- 23:29Speaker 6: around a big threat, and why aren't they involved? And
- 23:37Speaker 6: that could make a huge difference. You want ground troops.
- 23:40Speaker 6: They've got him.
- 23:42Speaker 1: So what if anything happened? What if anything happens tomorrow?
- 23:47Speaker 1: Because you know the president. I just saw a headline
- 23:50Speaker 1: here that flashed across the television that said something about
- 23:53Speaker 1: and I haven't seen the exact quote, but apparently he
- 23:55Speaker 1: just put out a statement or something at some point.
- 23:57Speaker 1: I think he is going to give a press conference
- 23:59Speaker 1: later today. He's gonna but he said something like blowing
- 24:02Speaker 1: everything up. What do you think happens tomorrow? Anyran, Because
- 24:06Speaker 1: he also turns around and he just released the statement
- 24:08Speaker 1: SAIDs there's a good chance of deal is going to
- 24:10Speaker 1: be reached.
- 24:11Speaker 6: Nothing's gonna nothing's gonna happen.
- 24:14Speaker 1: You don't think so?
- 24:15Speaker 6: Well, I don't know who knows about that guy, But
- 24:21Speaker 6: like you said, he he gives conflicting messages. And what
- 24:27Speaker 6: you do is we could take out the oil fields,
- 24:31Speaker 6: kick them all out. But then what's China gonna do
- 24:35Speaker 6: because they get forty percent of their oil from Iran.
- 24:39Speaker 6: Then you then you put them in a box. And
- 24:45Speaker 6: I you know, it's it's if we don't get much
- 24:49Speaker 6: oil through the strait of her moods.
- 24:51Speaker 1: But our allies right well, and then go ahead.
- 24:56Speaker 6: And the French have at the French won't even let
- 24:59Speaker 6: us use their I really believe we ought to tell them.
- 25:03Speaker 6: Tell NATO, look, we'll take care of Ron. You guys
- 25:08Speaker 6: take care of what's that country of Russia? And David, Ukraine,
- 25:14Speaker 6: that's Ukraine. You take care of Ukraine because NATO has
- 25:21Speaker 6: not been I'm not saying we should get out of NATO,
- 25:24Speaker 6: but NATO has not been a an ally that can
- 25:32Speaker 6: be trusted. It's been helpful in this in this myth all.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Right, Texas. Trump is losing support in West Virginia. Christian
- 25:41Speaker 1: voters have had enough. I go to a big church
- 25:43Speaker 1: in this valley and they are disgusted by his actions
- 25:48Speaker 1: in the White House. I appreciate the text. I'd say
- 25:50Speaker 1: that's probably the minority, though.
- 25:54Speaker 6: I don't know. I mean, I don't want to call
- 26:00Speaker 6: a church out by name. Right, there's a huge church,
- 26:03Speaker 6: huge fundamentalist Christian church out on out on the quarter
- 26:08Speaker 6: g and I'd be curious to what they feel about this.
- 26:11Speaker 6: All right?
- 26:12Speaker 1: Uh, well, I saw I'll just say this. I saw
- 26:15Speaker 1: a post from a local pastor and I won't I
- 26:16Speaker 1: won't mention his name or his church that said. And
- 26:20Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here. So while while I don't like the
- 26:22Speaker 1: language the President used, we ie now this congregation, he
- 26:26Speaker 1: still stands behind them. That was from a from a
- 26:30Speaker 1: pretty well known pastor here in the Charleston area, Texas.
- 26:33Speaker 1: I will not vote for a Republican for the first
- 26:35Speaker 1: time in forty five years because the constitution. Trump's party
- 26:39Speaker 1: Texas really griping about the F bomb while Bumbles, I
- 26:46Speaker 1: guess that's a reference to Kamala Harris. I guess while
- 26:50Speaker 1: Bumbles hosted the disgusting, blasphemous freak show International Transgender Day
- 26:54Speaker 1: of Visibility on the White House line. Not a peep,
- 26:58Speaker 1: says a Texter Texas. David and Obama both robbed the
- 27:01Speaker 1: F Bama public. Also, thank god we have a president
- 27:03Speaker 1: that has taken action against the number one terrorist nation.
- 27:09Speaker 6: One has nothing to do with the other. What somebody
- 27:13Speaker 6: else did, what Biden or Harris or Obama did, doesn't
- 27:18Speaker 6: excuse using that kind of language on Easter Sunday period.
- 27:23Speaker 6: It just doesn't excuse it, all right, And it's all
- 27:27Speaker 6: it's always the fallback position of the Trump apologists.
- 27:31Speaker 1: All right, we are going to have to leave it there, Danny,
- 27:34Speaker 1: enjoy your time out in California. We'll talk to you
- 27:37Speaker 1: again next week. Thank you, all right, Danny Jones from

- 30:48Speaker 1: with you, There's.
- 30:49Speaker 12: So many things going on. There's so many things going
- 30:52Speaker 12: on this upcoming week and so many neat things. But
- 30:55Speaker 12: let me go ahead and say, if you don't mind
- 30:57Speaker 12: the US listening to your first guest talking out the
- 31:00Speaker 12: Childhood Language Center and I have I have direct emotional
- 31:05Speaker 12: connection to the Childhood Language Center. Booth and I have
- 31:07Speaker 12: a one of our children went to the Childhood Language
- 31:10Speaker 12: Center for years and it is an amazing, amazing place
- 31:15Speaker 12: in space. You know, if you have a child that
- 31:18Speaker 12: has a speech for language, disorder a coocular implants Asperger's autism,
- 31:23Speaker 12: speech and language disorders of any kind. You will know
- 31:28Speaker 12: when I say you get very attached to your therapist,
- 31:31Speaker 12: get very attached to the people who are helping your children.
- 31:34Speaker 12: And they do an amazing job. And Lawrence Jones I
- 31:39Speaker 12: served on the board there with him for a while.
- 31:41Speaker 12: After my son left, I started serving on the board
- 31:44Speaker 12: as well and doing a little work there, and it
- 31:48Speaker 12: had had such a profound impact on our child. If
- 31:53Speaker 12: you if your kid needs help, your kid needs help now,
- 31:56Speaker 12: they do an amazing job. And if your child can't commute, municate,
- 32:00Speaker 12: or can't communicate, well, dave the frustration of it, you know,
- 32:03Speaker 12: of them not being able to communicate. So I just
- 32:06Speaker 12: I plod just not only the work that they do
- 32:08Speaker 12: and trying to raise funds and thanks for all of
- 32:10Speaker 12: the men and women who donate and help support, but
- 32:14Speaker 12: also to the therapist because it is really it's a
- 32:17Speaker 12: challenging job and people do an amazing job over there.
- 32:20Speaker 12: So a big shout out to folks of the Childhood
- 32:22Speaker 12: Language Center, changing lives of folks every single day. So
- 32:26Speaker 12: I just wanted to I just want to get my
- 32:28Speaker 12: big thanks out to them.
- 32:30Speaker 1: There is going to be a lot of people running
- 32:32Speaker 1: in Charleston here, so many. I don't mean for office,
- 32:34Speaker 1: I mean running in the streets.
- 32:36Speaker 6: I know.
- 32:37Speaker 12: I'm so excited. Seven hundred runners, thirty different countries, I mean,
- 32:40Speaker 12: or thirty different states. It's going to be amazing. I
- 32:43Speaker 12: will not be running. I will be cheering, although I
- 32:46Speaker 12: do have some family members who will be running. It's
- 32:49Speaker 12: such an incredible opportunity for the capital city of the
- 32:53Speaker 12: state of West Virginia to have a marathon. We are
- 32:56Speaker 12: known for, certainly our fifteen mile run, and that is
- 33:00Speaker 12: also an amazing and very challenging race. I have run
- 33:04Speaker 12: that race before in the past, but this marathon is
- 33:08Speaker 12: not going to be for sissies. And so thanks so
- 33:11Speaker 12: much to the folks who are organizing it and who
- 33:15Speaker 12: have been working on it for so so long, including
- 33:19Speaker 12: our University of Charleston president Marty Roth and just it's
- 33:24Speaker 12: going to be really, really great.
- 33:25Speaker 1: And they need volunteers.
- 33:26Speaker 12: It's going to be nice. It's gonna be nice.
- 33:28Speaker 1: With we did an interview of the news Sport. We
- 33:29Speaker 1: an interview with Tricia. One of the pictures Robali, who's
- 33:32Speaker 1: one of the people that's helping to put this on,
- 33:34Speaker 1: and she'd reached out to us saying that they really
- 33:37Speaker 1: need volunteers. I've got her schedule to come on the
- 33:39Speaker 1: show Wednesday morning, I think to talk about it. But
- 33:42Speaker 1: they definitely need volunteers.
- 33:44Speaker 12: They need volunteers. The good news is there's so many
- 33:46Speaker 12: students in our valley to Dave who need volunteers for school,
- 33:50Speaker 12: by the way, to receive credit for many things. So
- 33:53Speaker 12: if you need, if you would like or have a
- 33:56Speaker 12: child or grandchild that needs those volunteer opportunities, by the way, obviously,
- 34:00Speaker 12: you can call the University of Charleston and you can
- 34:02Speaker 12: get connected with volunteering there. You can volunteer the Regatta.
- 34:06Speaker 12: Goodness me gracious, we have so many wonderful opportunities for
- 34:09Speaker 12: folks to volunteer there, or live on the levee or
- 34:12Speaker 12: USA Cycling. And so if you call three four eight
- 34:16Speaker 12: eight one seven four, or just go on our City
- 34:19Speaker 12: of Charleston paycheck, you can email me or text me
- 34:22Speaker 12: and we'll be happy to get back with you. And
- 34:24Speaker 12: you know, this is what I will say, and it's
- 34:26Speaker 12: a it's a nice big segue because tonight we're going
- 34:28Speaker 12: to vote on it. We have counsel coming up this evening.
- 34:31Speaker 12: And one of the things that I started many many
- 34:34Speaker 12: years ago was the mayor Summer Jobs Program. And I'll
- 34:37Speaker 12: be very candid of how it started. It started. We
- 34:41Speaker 12: used to have a summer jobs program, by the way,
- 34:43Speaker 12: and so it was for that opportunity that you know,
- 34:46Speaker 12: your college kids that come home. I was talking to
- 34:48Speaker 12: somebody the other day at one of our restaurants. They said, Oh,
- 34:50Speaker 12: we've got these two college kids that are coming back.
- 34:52Speaker 12: We can't wait. They're awesome servers. So excited because it's
- 34:55Speaker 12: challenging right to get to get folks to work, but
- 34:58Speaker 12: it's really challenging when you in that weird sixteen seventeen age.
- 35:03Speaker 12: And so what a grand opportunity we found here in
- 35:06Speaker 12: the City of Charleston to make a jobs program come
- 35:10Speaker 12: back to life. I give shout out to Andy Bacchus
- 35:14Speaker 12: from the Mayor's Office of Economic and Community Development. He
- 35:17Speaker 12: does an outstanding job with our team members. But it
- 35:20Speaker 12: was kJ Taylor. It was the death of kJ Taylor.
- 35:24Speaker 12: And I remember, like yesterday I was down on the
- 35:27Speaker 12: West Side with council Member Larry Moore, and I think,
- 35:30Speaker 12: as all I'm a parent, I always say, I'm a mayor,
- 35:33Speaker 12: but I'm a mother and a wife first, And I
- 35:35Speaker 12: was sitting talking to these these children who were grieving
- 35:38Speaker 12: in just the most horrific way. Dave and one of
- 35:42Speaker 12: the young gentlemen said to me, you need to do
- 35:45Speaker 12: something for us, and I said, I'll do anything. Tell
- 35:49Speaker 12: me what it is, and he said, we need a
- 35:50Speaker 12: place to go. And in my head, this fifty five
- 35:54Speaker 12: year old woman, in my head, I was thinking, Okay,
- 35:57Speaker 12: is it a center? Is it about where do you
- 36:00Speaker 12: want to go? Is it a place? And he said, no,
- 36:02Speaker 12: give me a job. I said, We're going to do it.
- 36:06Speaker 12: And I remember coming back and saying to Matthew Sudden, okay,
- 36:09Speaker 12: we got to get we got to do jobs. And
- 36:11Speaker 12: he's like, okay, we'll work on it. And we get
- 36:14Speaker 12: it wrong the first year. We get it wrong the
- 36:15Speaker 12: first year. But tonight we're going to vote on additional
- 36:18Speaker 12: funding for a very successful jobs program. Everything from parking REX,
- 36:23Speaker 12: everything from HR everything from by the way, you want
- 36:26Speaker 12: to get paid this summer. This is a paid jobs program.
- 36:31Speaker 12: So and by the way, we'll pay for your lifeguarding
- 36:34Speaker 12: certification because that's not cheap, Dave, And so we'll pay
- 36:37Speaker 12: for that you want, you're interested in HR. We had
- 36:40Speaker 12: an intern work in the Mayor's office last year and
- 36:43Speaker 12: she loved it so much and I felt confident she's
- 36:45Speaker 12: coming back. And she said, now I'm interested in planning
- 36:48Speaker 12: because now I know what they do and I'd really
- 36:51Speaker 12: like to And so we were a little disappointed in
- 36:53Speaker 12: the Mayor's office because she was so wonderful. But that's
- 36:56Speaker 12: the point of the job's program. She said, I understand
- 36:59Speaker 12: now she's in college. I understand now that I like that,
- 37:04Speaker 12: and I'm interested in that, and she may make a
- 37:06Speaker 12: career out of this and being a city planner. And
- 37:10Speaker 12: so that's what we really need to do. You know,
- 37:13Speaker 12: we need to start really thinking about when we talk
- 37:15Speaker 12: about jobs, investment and training or organizations. Which, by the way,
- 37:20Speaker 12: it's not easy to have a jobs program. Let me
- 37:22Speaker 12: be clear, it's not an easy thing to do, but
- 37:25Speaker 12: it's an important thing to do for two reasons. Well,
- 37:29Speaker 12: actually three, I'm going to get you a job this summer,
- 37:31Speaker 12: and we're going to pay you. Right, I mean limited spaces.
- 37:33Speaker 12: I don't have a thousand spaces, but we're going to
- 37:35Speaker 12: get your job. We're going to pay you. We are
- 37:37Speaker 12: going to give you pride in your community. When you
- 37:41Speaker 12: get engaged and involved, you if you're working at public
- 37:43Speaker 12: grounds or you're working events, you have a better understanding
- 37:46Speaker 12: of what's going on in your community. And so certainly
- 37:50Speaker 12: it'll give you pride. But then it may spark that
- 37:52Speaker 12: interest of oh wait, I see what this guy's doing
- 37:55Speaker 12: over here. I may want to do what he's doing.
- 37:58Speaker 12: Or as our intern always said, actually I thought it
- 38:01Speaker 12: was this. Actually I don't want to do that. I
- 38:03Speaker 12: want to do something else now. And so that is
- 38:07Speaker 12: something that is a really big point of pride for us,
- 38:10Speaker 12: is giving our kiddos a place in a space to
- 38:13Speaker 12: go and feel valued.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Got a phone call, Let's go talk to our friend Jim.
- 38:18Speaker 1: You're you're on with the mayor.
- 38:19Speaker 7: Go ahead, hello, Mayor?
- 38:22Speaker 9: Are you Jim?
- 38:23Speaker 12: It's always such a pleasure to hear your voice, my friend.
- 38:27Speaker 7: Well, I wanted to call and ask you. You were
- 38:29Speaker 7: over here visiting not too long ago, and you shoid
- 38:34Speaker 7: you would probably run one more time, Yes, sir, will
- 38:37Speaker 7: this be and then May primary that this will be on?
- 38:42Speaker 7: Or when does your time to forge?
- 38:45Speaker 12: Yes, sir, it's it's the May primary. Primary is May twelfth.
- 38:50Speaker 12: Early voting start to April twenty ninth. Yes, yes, yeah,
- 38:55Speaker 12: one more time, Jim, one more time.
- 38:57Speaker 7: All right, one more question that please if I could,
- 39:01Speaker 7: I called the office a couple of times about trying
- 39:04Speaker 7: to bring the via NBA to Charleston. I think it
- 39:09Speaker 7: would tax the Civic Center and sell it out. And
- 39:14Speaker 7: one of your opinion on it, and when was the
- 39:17Speaker 7: last time that the New Civic Center sold out to
- 39:21Speaker 7: a sporting of villa.
- 39:22Speaker 12: Well, there are a couple, I'll say this to it
- 39:25Speaker 12: so funny. David and I were talking before we got
- 39:27Speaker 12: on the air about the Crown Tournament, and maybe we'll
- 39:30Speaker 12: talk about it here in a second in the next segment.
- 39:31Speaker 12: But listen, I think that what we do really really
- 39:36Speaker 12: well in the city of Charleston, and especially with our
- 39:38Speaker 12: partners at the CVB. We have an incredible, incredible team
- 39:41Speaker 12: over there with Jama, Lauren and Rico and Leslie and
- 39:46Speaker 12: Tim and just an incredible group of folks. We swing
- 39:50Speaker 12: for the fences and so it's something that we're always
- 39:53Speaker 12: looking to do. But as I told Dave, I went
- 39:57Speaker 12: out to see the Crown Tournament and it is amazing
- 40:01Speaker 12: and very reminiscent of by the way, the new seats
- 40:05Speaker 12: at the Coliseuman Convention Center. How other facilities are managing
- 40:09Speaker 12: these centers, what they can host, what they can hold.
- 40:12Speaker 12: And I feel really good about that, niche Jim, that
- 40:16Speaker 12: we're kind of settling into of being this sports and
- 40:19Speaker 12: entertainment destination. Do I think we could do something like that? Boy,
- 40:23Speaker 12: that would be That would be a big home run,
- 40:25Speaker 12: wouldn't it it sure would.
- 40:29Speaker 7: I appreciate you taking my call and Dave, and take
- 40:35Speaker 7: care Mayor, and I'll be in touch.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Thank you, Jim, Thank you Jim. Quick text here says
- 40:40Speaker 1: Mayor a good one. The Department of Highways has announced
- 40:42Speaker 1: the repair of several bridges in the Charleston area. Do
- 40:44Speaker 1: you know if the Washington Street Bridge is included in
- 40:48Speaker 1: this group?
- 40:48Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 40:49Speaker 1: If not. Do you know if any repair or painting
- 40:51Speaker 1: is scheduled for the Washington Street Bridge?
- 40:53Speaker 13: Yeah?
- 40:53Speaker 12: There are several all throughout the city. And this is
- 40:56Speaker 12: what I will say to folks and Dave, if you
- 40:58Speaker 12: don't mind, maybe we can do this the next week
- 41:00Speaker 12: or two. Not only are we going to have so
- 41:03Speaker 12: many repairs done to our bridges uh in our roads,
- 41:08Speaker 12: but with our events that go on in the city
- 41:10Speaker 12: of Charlestown. You know, listen, we let me back, let
- 41:13Speaker 12: me back up very quickly.
- 41:14Speaker 2: We do.
- 41:17Speaker 12: Kudos to the Department of Highways for working with us,
- 41:22Speaker 12: because when you start steering traffic away from exits and
- 41:27Speaker 12: off of bridges and then you shut a road down downtown,
- 41:30Speaker 12: it is very, very frustrating. And I understand that the
- 41:34Speaker 12: traffic has been a little bit problematic to say the least,
- 41:42Speaker 12: But this is what happens when you are making progress,
- 41:45Speaker 12: when you are paving roads and fixing bridges. This is
- 41:48Speaker 12: this is what happens. So if you it would be
- 41:50Speaker 12: a great opportunity for us. We meet weekly on it,
- 41:53Speaker 12: and it'd be a great opportunity for us, Dave, if
- 41:55Speaker 12: you allow us the opportunity to get on and talk
- 41:57Speaker 12: about a lot of them, because it is it's pretty significant.
- 42:02Speaker 12: And the good news is it's significant because there are
- 42:03Speaker 12: a lot of dollars that are being invested in infrastructure
- 42:08Speaker 12: and crumbling infrastructure, not only just in the capital city
- 42:11Speaker 12: but all over the state of West Virginia. You know,
- 42:14Speaker 12: I have the pleasure of working with so many mayors.
- 42:16Speaker 12: This is the year that many of us are, you know,
- 42:19Speaker 12: putting our money where our mouth is by the way,
- 42:22Speaker 12: it's also something we're going to be talking about in
- 42:24Speaker 12: the weeks to come in the City of Charleston. This
- 42:27Speaker 12: is the largest paving cycle we will have in my
- 42:32Speaker 12: memory in the City of Charleston because we need it.
- 42:35Speaker 12: We really really needed our sidewalks, our roadways. They need
- 42:38Speaker 12: to have those critical infrastructure dollars put back in.

- 45:50Speaker 1: Charles mayor Amy Schuler. Good one is here, Texas? Where
- 45:53Speaker 1: can people find a list of side street paving projects?
- 45:56Speaker 1: Wondering when our street will be repaved after a lot
- 45:59Speaker 1: of waterline work that has left like a patchwork quilt
- 46:02Speaker 1: the past few.
- 46:03Speaker 12: Years I have used that phrase patchwork quilt. Well, if
- 46:07Speaker 12: you want to, if you want to, ring up our
- 46:09Speaker 12: office at three four eight eight one seven four, let
- 46:11Speaker 12: me make sure that it's in city limits first of all.
- 46:14Speaker 12: So let's let's go ahead and do that. That's number one,
- 46:16Speaker 12: number two. Uh, it'll be brought before a council here
- 46:19Speaker 12: before too long. So in the next couple of weeks
- 46:21Speaker 12: you'll have a list and you will know and oh,
- 46:24Speaker 12: by the way, we engage our council members when we
- 46:27Speaker 12: do this list, and of course our Engineering department streets
- 46:30Speaker 12: and traffic, just to look at what are the roads
- 46:33Speaker 12: that need to be done, and what are the crosswalks
- 46:36Speaker 12: that we need to take care of, and also keeping
- 46:39Speaker 12: in mind that a lot of the sidewalks just had
- 46:41Speaker 12: this come up. Two weeks ago. When I was walking
- 46:44Speaker 12: a door to door on the West side, someone said,
- 46:46Speaker 12: when are you gonna this sidewalk needs done right here
- 46:48Speaker 12: in front of my home. It's the it's the homeowner's responsibility, however,
- 46:53Speaker 12: especially if it's in a crosswalk area, and so you know,
- 46:57Speaker 12: reach out to me and let our office know. If
- 46:59Speaker 12: I not there, you can ask for Andrew Aurora can
- 47:02Speaker 12: help you for sure, and always our chief of staff
- 47:05Speaker 12: Matthew Sutton can help you as well.
- 47:07Speaker 1: It teke, says Hi Mayor, When will hi? I never
- 47:11Speaker 1: know when people say hi, I should just go hey,
- 47:13Speaker 1: what's up?
- 47:14Speaker 16: Hey?
- 47:14Speaker 12: It's sweet?
- 47:15Speaker 1: Says High Mayor. When will construction start on the Boulevard
- 47:18Speaker 1: East renovation project and the Hilton brand hotel by the
- 47:21Speaker 1: Town Center. Both have had plans submitted for almost two
- 47:24Speaker 1: years now. Seems like nothing is happening.
- 47:26Speaker 12: Well, you know, when you do big projects. When you
- 47:29Speaker 12: do massive projects like this, never do I remember a
- 47:33Speaker 12: time in my life that we've spent so much money
- 47:37Speaker 12: on the re you know, revitalizing the riverfront. It's a
- 47:41Speaker 12: twenty seven million dollar project. We were waiting on plans
- 47:44Speaker 12: and questions and answers. We have to work with Federal
- 47:47Speaker 12: Highway Administration, we have to work the State of West Virginia.
- 47:49Speaker 12: They've been amazing partners, and so that back and forth continues,
- 47:53Speaker 12: and we hope to break ground soon. By the way,
- 47:55Speaker 12: just because you get the money and you say, okay,
- 47:57Speaker 12: let's do it. You know, big, big project take time.
- 48:01Speaker 12: Little projects sometimes don't take that much time. Sometimes, by
- 48:04Speaker 12: the way, little projects do take time. In terms of
- 48:07Speaker 12: the hotel, I think they're talking about the old Seers.
- 48:10Speaker 12: I think that's what they're talking about. Those plans were
- 48:14Speaker 12: submitted to our planning department, and that was weeks ago,
- 48:20Speaker 12: actually months ago. So that's the update on both of those.
- 48:24Speaker 12: But you know, it's it's a good time to pause
- 48:27Speaker 12: and remind folks that this this summer. We always like
- 48:31Speaker 12: to say in our office, we should manage expectations. We're
- 48:33Speaker 12: very excited about the bridge repair. We're very excited to
- 48:36Speaker 12: have the largest paving cycle we've had, certainly in my tenure,
- 48:41Speaker 12: and I can't remember a time we've spent five million
- 48:43Speaker 12: dollars on it. But with that comes, you know, shutting
- 48:48Speaker 12: down lanes and shutting down roads. It's very difficult to
- 48:51Speaker 12: get down Virginia Street right now, and people are very frustrated.
- 48:54Speaker 12: But I will just say progress sometimes is sticky, and
- 48:57Speaker 12: so thanks for being patient with us on all of
- 49:00Speaker 12: those great projects.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Chlston, marry Me Schuler good one. Our time is over.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Appreciate you being here.

- 50:19Speaker 17: he told me. I also asked if he was considering
- 50:21Speaker 17: striking civilian infrastructure. The President said I don't want to
- 50:25Speaker 17: talk about that, claiming the civilians want me to do it,
- 50:28Speaker 17: but experts warning those attacks could amount to war crimes
- 50:31Speaker 17: Vio leading international law.

- 51:02Speaker 9: for the colonel as well, and that Iran had offered
- 51:05Speaker 9: a sixty thousand dollars bounty for his capture. Searchers had
- 51:09Speaker 9: made contact with the colonel, who they heard on a
- 51:12Speaker 9: radio transmission saying God is good after he ejected and
- 51:16Speaker 9: landed in those remote mountains, and finally they were able
- 51:19Speaker 9: to extract him and eventually get him to safety.
