Little bit later on I'm going to talk some politics Tyve to Alan Adams from

Ogden Newspapers will be stopped by as well as our own Brad Michael Honey.
1:18
That's coming up, plus standing by. We have a mayor in the area
1:22
that's also running for House of Delegates, Greg ingramrom Montgomery. We're going to
1:25
talk to him. But I do need to send things to the newsroom right
1:27
now because we have breaking news out of Putnam County. Chris Lawrence is here.
1:30
Chris good Morning. Had a bus incident, So yeah, tell us
1:34
about it. Thank you, Dave. This that happened this morning, probably
1:38
in the last hour. It happened in Eleanor on Route sixty two. A
1:42
school bus driver evidently had a medical episode of some kind, lost control of
1:47
the bus. It veered off of Route sixty two, went through a vinyl
1:51
fence, and crashed head on into a tree. The bus driver and five
1:57
students on board the bus were taken to the hospital for observation. Injuries resulting
2:01
from the wreck do not appear to be life threatening or very serious. It
2:06
was mostly more precautionary to take those students to the hospital to get them checked
2:09
out. But that's what happened, and of course if you were traveling in
2:13
Illinoi at Blockerroute sixty two for a while this morning. But evidently it was
2:16
a medical episode involving the bus driver. So the Sheriff's department out there is
2:22
investigating. All right, We'll have more stories because we have folks that are
2:24
covering the story as well. And Chris, I appreciate you stopping by to
2:28
tell us about it this morning, and thoughts and prayer saw all those involved.
2:30
Man things all right, man, Chris Lawrence again from the newsroom,
2:32
and again the breaking story. Within about an hour or so, a bus
2:36
crash in Putnam County, the community of Eleanor. It appears that the bus
2:39
driver had a medical emergency of some sort and the bus crashed and at least
2:44
five students were injured. The injuries do not appear to be life threatening,
2:47
but everyone was taken to the hospital. We've got stories already posted about it
2:52
online wv metronews dot com and also on the Twitter machine as well, So
2:59

3:51
go place. Let me bring in now a gentleman who has been on the
3:55
show before as the mayor of Montgomery, and you cant he used to be
4:00
the mayor of Montgomery, but he's also a run for House of Delegates this
4:02
time, Greg Ingram, Mayor, Good morning, welcome to the show.
4:04
Thanks today, good morning to you, and pleasure to be here. I
4:09
understand you and I were talking in the Green Brother that you were running around
4:12
not long ago down in my hometown. You're in La. I spent about
4:15
six hours, six years, I'm sorry, in La when we built the
4:20
Walker Machinery branch there in Rita or Rita. How you say that right between
4:27
Man and Logan. And I was down there visiting Serafino the other day and
4:32
the mayor and Seraphene has been mayor of the city of Logan for at least
4:35
twenty years or more. First class gentleman. He's all right, and the
4:40
heck of a baker back in the day too when he had City Bakery.
4:43
Yes, and he's still he can still bake too. So next time you're
4:46
down there. But Greg was telling me about that. Before we get to
4:48
your candidacy for House, we'll talk about city Montgomery. Tell us about some
4:53
things going on to Montgomery, right, Well, we're doing pretty good.
4:55
We've got six or seven more houses that our buildings structure that are going to
5:00
be coming down this year, just trying to clean up some of the blight.
5:03
We had a high school there that burnt, or middle school that burnt
5:09
two years ago. It's taken us two years to get through the courts.
5:12
I think the judge is now ordered that that property be given to the city,
5:15
so now I can work the next two years to get it cleaned up.
5:17
But you know, nothing happens overnight, and it all happens at the
5:21
speed of government, which is not very fast. Let's talk about the storm
5:26
damage last week. Do you guys get a lot because they keep me in
5:28
every day of the National Weather Service comes out with a couple of more tornadoes.
5:30
Two more were added in the Cabin Creek area and also in the Hernshaw
5:35
area that was released yesterday. They maybe even more today. How did you
5:38
guys do in the storm last week? Well, we lost a lot several
5:41
trees. The Challenge Academy lost two vans, totaled them with trees falling on
5:46
top of those. And those are the folks that know where the bic Athletic
5:51
Center is. The two huge historic trees in the front yard toppled. We
5:56
lost a few phone poles and light poles and stuff like that, but and
6:00
a little bit of roof damage. My home took some a hit and had
6:03
to put a little few roofing shingles on, But other than that we survived
6:08
pretty well. That's good. Let's talk about your run for house. Your
6:12
running for house District fifty two. Is that right? That's correct? What
6:15
area does that encompass? Well, that covers from the eastern end of Montgomery,
6:19
which is actually in fact County, down to fifty second Street in Kanall
6:24
City, Cabin Creek, Paint Creek on the south side of the river.
6:30
Okay, So after how many years have you been mayor? Eight years?
6:33
Eight years? And so why do you want to now join the House of
6:36
delegance. Well, I've been on a lot of boards for the Upper Kanal
6:42
Valley, the on fifteen different boards, the things that really expand beyond the
6:49
reach of the just the city of Montgomery. So I'm already engaged in a
6:54
lot of things in the Upper Kanov Valley and I'm just tired of sometimes we
6:59
get treated like second class citizens in the upper end of the valley. And
7:02
it used to be different back in the day when Cole was king and we
7:06
had a lot of coal companies and stuff up there. But I'm already engaged.
7:11
I'm already involved, Dave, and I just think I can use some
7:15
of that intellecting skills to help the other residents in the Aper Kanov Valley.
7:19
We've brought over nine million dollars to the City of Montgomery over the last several
7:24
years, and I just think that I can expand that. I have a
7:27
lot of contacts out there, and I just want to see the Upper Kanal
7:30
Valley be vibrant and beautiful as it is. Will you continue to serve as
7:36
mayor? Yes, I'm actually on the ballot two times. This time I'm
7:41
going to be running for mayor and I'm also running for House of Delegates.
7:46
I think I had need one more term as mayor to finish what I started
7:48
and get the rest of it cleaned up. But you know, there's so
7:53
many things that are in the Upper Canal Valley that it seems like that the
7:56
high paying jobs leave, but the carcasses remain, like the old power plant
8:01
up there, the tech campus, all of the load outs along the river.
8:05
The carcasses are still there, but those high paying jobs have been taken
8:09
and I'd just like to be a voice to try to fight and help that.
8:11
And you know, I know Larry Road did a great job. Larry's
8:15
not running again, so we have to have somebody that has a strong connections
8:20
throughout the state to carry that on. How's the campaign been so far.
8:24
It's been doing pretty well. I've been endorsed by about nine organizations, several
8:30
labor organizations, West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, have a lot of endorsements and
8:35
just normal working on, you know, the campaign signage and that type of
8:39
stuff. But ultimately it's the people's choice and I want them to choose who
8:43
they want, and I think that the Upper Kanal Valley has a right future.
8:50
It's nine point sixteen. Again we're talking with Greg Ingram, who's the
8:52
mayor of Montgomery, but it's also a candidate for a House of Delegates.
8:56
Dave Alan showing five day Life brought to you by Fresh Air. They'll change
8:58
your heating and cool you to air filters for your home, your retail establishment,
9:01

9:05
you. They're also available twenty four hours a day. This is Fresh Air
9:09
Filters dot us. That's the website three zero four four four zero one one
9:13
zero four for fresh air because everyone deserves fresh air. Mayor when you're out
9:16
talking to people and you're out campaigning, door knocking, sign waving and meet
9:20
the candidate's forums, whatever it is that you're doing, what do you hear
9:22
from the people out there? Well, a lot of it is just what
9:26
I said, you know, people just they want a few services. They
9:31
want a few things that they see that people get that we're not receiving in
9:37
the appercanav Valley. You know, we've come a long way. And as
9:39
again, as I said, Larry Row did a great job. We have
9:43
pretty good paved roads up there, but we do need some alleyways and stuff
9:48
like that paved. And what I'm hearing from the people up there is they
9:52
just they just want to see some of the bleeding stop and someone to be
9:58
a voice for them Kannon Valley to clean up some of the blight and stop
10:03
trying to dump all of the rehabilitation facilities in the Upper Kanal Valley. There's
10:09
good ones and there's bad ones, and the overnight ones seem to be the
10:13
ones that have issues because those folks are turned loose at night, and they're
10:18
not bad people. They just need help. And I think that I hear
10:22
a lot of that. I hear a lot of you know, we we
10:26
we have empty buildings here, so everybody wants to put blight and things that
10:31
that is not favorable to grow in a community in the eastern end of the
10:35
valley. But I want to I do want to say one thing. I
10:39
can't think enough. I can't thank the Kanaal County Commission enough. The Kanal
10:43
County Commission has never left our side in the Upper kanav Valley. Uh,
10:48
They've been an advocate for us. And UH, I just have such respect
10:52
for those gentlemen. And uh they've been there, They've been our rock.
10:56
And UH when a lot of other people left and pulled out and went the
11:00
other way, Kennall kind of commission was always right there to get to loan
11:03
us, lend us a hand. And I want to do a shout out
11:07
to them and thank them very much for what they've done for the eastern end
11:11
of the valley. Do you have a website or social media or anything you
11:13
want to plug I do Facebook, ingram at WV house and I have a
11:20
phone number. People can call me if they want a question, have any
11:24
questions, It's six eight one two nine two three zero ninety four, and
11:28
leave me a message if I don't answer, and I'll get back to as
11:31
soon as I can. Final thirty, Why should someone vote for you for
11:33
House because I'm already engaged in the Upper Kanav Valley and already on thirty boards
11:37
or fifteen boards. I'm sorry, you just added a few in time we've
11:41
been on the air. That's how popular you are. Well, and I
11:45
have I've handed three or four since we've been on the air, and maybe
11:50
I just didn't count them all. But I understand I'm already engaged. I've
11:52
already been there, I've already I'm a proven person in the city of Montgomery
11:58
and what we've done up there to change that town. And so I just
12:01
appreciate anyone's vote. But the key is I want the people to vote for
12:05
who they want. All right, Well, were the best of luck,
12:07
mayor thank you, maryor greg Ingrama Montgomery also candidate for House of Delegates and
12:13

15:28
Ingram for House. His opponent is a failed Knawa County Republican Executive Committee chairwoman.
15:33
She's a radical in the same vein as radical convicted rioter Derrek Evans,
15:37
says Texter Stephen Allen Adams. Not radical, not rioters. How are you,
15:41
man? I'm radical like a ninja turtle. Man, that's how radical.
15:46
I'm not even sure what that means. But okay, all right,
15:48
man, that's good promo material right there, right, He's radical like a
15:52
ninja turtle. You know, I said at the top of the show,
15:54
I think I did. Anyway, I kind of got distract little bit because
15:56
we had that bust crash over in Putnam count and again, thoughts or prayers
16:00
to all those folks will have more information on that. Chris and the team
16:03
working on the story now. But I wanted to bring you in to talk
16:07
about campaign finance because I'm kind of a I'm kind of a geek when it
16:10
comes to this stuff. Oh, me too, But man, you're like
16:12
a kid at Christmas time when the campaign finance stuff comes out, right,
16:17
Oh, I'm like the school teacher. I'm the one literally hitting refreshed and
16:21
texting candidates like, hey, where's your report, where's your report? Where's
16:25
your report? And of course the big reports, the governor's raise and particularly
16:30
Patrick Morris, the Attorney General, which took forever to even upload. That's
16:33
how big it was. It didn't even get online until yesterday. Was because
16:37
of all the decimals or what they got. A lot of small dollar donations
16:44
on there, nearly you know, about eight hundred and seventy six thousand dollars
16:48
worked for a quarter and a lot of small increments. So it's a big
16:52
report. So as far as money goes, we'll break it down specifically.
16:55
On the Republican side, just speaking money right now, it's pretty much more
17:00
and then everyone else pretty much, especially this past quarter. Like I said,
17:04
eight hundred and seventy six thousand dollars for the quarter we're talking January through
17:11
March, so that's a big chunk. Three point three million raised election year
17:15
to date, and he's sitting on about one point six million dollars in cash
17:19
on hand. Some of that obviously is aside for the general election, but
17:25
some of it's designated for the primary, so that gives him a pretty good
17:27
haul. That's not even counting in third party groups like Americans for Prosperity and
17:33
Black Bear Pack being supported by the Club for Growth that's already spent one point
17:37
eight million dollars in independent expenditures on behalf of Morsey during that same three month
17:44
period. Again, important to point out, Stephen, this is for the
17:47
Republican primary, that's re election, and Morrisey is leading in most of the
17:52
most of the polls I've seen, he's leading in the in the money grab,
17:56
and that's pretty much what it is at this point. Why do you
17:59
think that that Morrissey's message is getting out to people? Where's the money?
18:03
I mean, because obviously it's not just big donors, as you said,
18:06
there are, there are a lot of smaller donors to Why do you think
18:08
that Morrissey's message is resonating with people, Well, when it comes to fundraising,
18:11
it's a little bit deceiving. And I don't mean to say that the
18:14
Morrissey campaigns being the seat full, but they, like a lot of campaigns
18:18
these days, use independent fundraising vendor groups that go out and do a lot
18:23
of this fundraising. They use a company called Red Curve, which is known
18:27
for sending out multiple solicitations. They have lists donor lists from all over the
18:33
country, people that just support Republican can no matter who it is, no
18:37
matter who it is, So that's what they hit up for a lot of
18:40
this and it's always just like ten dollars at a time, fifteen dollars at
18:44
time. I saw a donation on there for ninety nine cents, like I
18:48
mean, they are obviously somebody in radio did that, Yeah, no doubt.
18:51
So it's one of those things where they hit up all these donor lists,
18:56
and I think that plays into it a lot. Plus they also have
18:57
a joint fundraising committee that they do with multiple other committees to try to bring
19:03
in money. So I mean, and of course, like I said,
19:06
they've got third party groups that are kind of backing them kind of short as
19:10
a short stop in a way. So I mean, there's just tons of
19:14
support for him as far as money goes all. Right, Now, about
19:17
how about the other ones? I mean, I know if you turn on
19:19
your television at night and there's some on radio as well, it seems like
19:22
it's a battle between Morrissey and Chris Miller. It's either their campaign's going against
19:27
each other or it's, as you said, the packs going after each other.
19:32
I mean, sure, how's Miller doing well? Chris Miller, of
19:33
course has a decent amount of money, but a lot of that came from
19:37
the three million dollar loan that he had already put in his campaign. Donor
19:41
wise, it's a little bit not as extensive. This quarter, he raised
19:45
about two hundred and sixteen thousand dollars. He's raised more than one point five
19:51
million dollars election your date, he's sitting on about one point two million dollars
19:56
of cash on hand. Now, let's take a look at capital. Capital
19:59
doesn't more capital, I should say, doesn't have as many commercials out or
20:02
anything like that, is going around the state working it really hard. But
20:06
he came in second in the fundraising, So he raised three hundred and thirty
20:10
seven thousand dollars, has raised about one point five million dollars election year to
20:15
date, and he's just got a little over one million dollars in cash on
20:18
hand. So while Miller has more cash on hand going into these final month
20:22
and a half, a lot that's from himself for as more Capitol's donation is
20:29
coming from donations. What about Macwarner, Secretary of State. Well, mcwarner
20:36
not as well as the others. He raised seventy two thousand dollars for the
20:40
quarter. He has raised a total of five hundred and twenty three thousand dollars
20:44
election year to date, and he's sitting on about one hundred and ninety two
20:48
thousand dollars in cash on hand. So the top four candidates for Republican there's
20:53
even a couple others, David Roberts Kevin Christensen, they both reported no donations,
21:00
but mac Warner comes at the bottom of the of the pack. One
21:03
of the things about I think is interesting, and I don't know what's going
21:06
to happen on election day, nobody does, but the fact that if you
21:11
look at those the four leading candidates, Attorney General Morrissey and Secretary of State.
21:15
Make Warner have that advantage to a certain extent because they have run statewide
21:19
races and they are very well known. I mean, Warner is from Charleston
21:25
originally, but a lot of his adult life and his wife and his kids
21:27
and everything were in the Morgantown area. Plus he's run state wide. He's
21:30
you know, two time Secretary of State. Morrissey, you know, a
21:33
couple of times says attorney general. He had the Senate race. Whatever,
21:37
I think that lends itself. I was reading some comments online from somebody that
21:42
said that they were in the eastern Panhandle and until this election, they'd never
21:45
heard of Chris Miller, and so there is something to be said for having
21:48
run a statewide race. Oh, I think so for sure. I mean,
21:52
as we know, Patrick Morrissey has run three times for attorney General,
21:56
first in twenty twelve, and he's won three elections. And of course he
22:00
was on the ballot in twenty eighteen for US He didn't win that, but
22:03
he did come close. So four times total on statewide ballot if you're counting
22:10
the US Center race, so people have seen his name a lot. Mac
22:14
Warner, for comparison, has ran two statewide elections, you know, twenty
22:18
sixteen, twenty twenty. But Morrisey's got a few more under his belt.
22:23
Perhaps that helps him a little out a little bit more. Maybe it hurts
22:27
Warner to some extent having another Warner on the ballot, Chris Warner, and
22:32
there's a confusion about who's running for what. I don't know, but could
22:36
hurt or help maybe, yeah, exactly. His brother Chris is running for
22:38
secretary. So he got a couple texts here for Steve, and then we'll
22:41
move on to Texas. How does Steven think Trump using all the RNC money
22:45
for his legal bills will affect down ballot election campaign finances? Maybe less Republicans
22:49
getting elected. I won't hold your breath on that. I don't see that
22:53
in the state of West Virginia. First of all, I mean that's all
22:56
federal level anyway. Second, I mean most of the money you're seeing right
23:03
now come in as coming in for the US Center race, and Justice probably
23:08
doesn't have as much money as Moody. We'll know for sure, probably next
23:14
week. I think it's when the federal reports are due. But it's one
23:17
of those situations where I'd be really surprised if any of that affects West Virginia's
23:23
races, especially in a general election. Yeah, I mean, and I'm
23:27
gonna if I get time. There is a news story out about Steve Williams,
23:32
who is going to be he's the Democratic nominee. Of course, he's
23:34
the mayor of Huntings and actually Mayor Williams is gonna be on Hoppy coming up
23:37
next hour. How is he doing? I mean, that's what's interesting to
23:42
me. I would think, knowing that you are the only candidate, Democratic
23:47
candidate, that you would be using this time to fundraise because if you end
23:52
up, let's say you end up against Morrissey, we already know what type
23:56
of bank he's going to have going into the general election most likely. So
24:00
Williams only raised about seventeen thousand dollars for the quarter. He's only raised about
24:04
twenty six thousand election year to date, and he's got twenty one thousand dollars
24:08
in cash on hand. That's not a lot. And maybe he's just waiting,
24:12
But I would not be waiting to be raising money right now. And
24:15
I know it's hard for Democrats all over the place, but he needs to
24:18
get on it. Maybe they're going to I know that that family has money
24:22
between the brothers, so maybe they'll chuck in some of their own money closer
24:26
too. But I mean I would be raising every dollar I can right now.
24:30
I have said on this show before, with all due respect to Mayor
24:33
Williams, who's been on this show before, and I think is a good
24:37
guy, and he is. It's remarkable some of the things that he's done
24:40
to Huntington when you compare the Huntington of today as when I was a Marshall
24:45
student in the early nineteen nineties and the city was bankrupt whatever, there's no
24:48
question Steve Williams, I think is not. I mean, there are problems.
24:52
My wife says the same exact thing. Steve Williams has done a great
24:56
job in Huntington. But I still say that, barring any unforeseen circumstances,
25:00
whoever comes out of that Republican primary, my opinion and opinion only with all
25:04
due respect to Steve Williams, is going to be the next governor of West
25:07
Virginia. Yeah, I mean, I think that's true. And I've interviewed
25:11
him. You've talked to him as well. I think he understands the uphill
25:15
battle. I think all the Democratic Canadates do. I just talked with Glenn
25:19
Elliott, Leley Mayor running for US Senator. They understand that the tide has
25:23
kind of turned, but I think it is remarkable that they are going to
25:29
give a try, and to be honest, I think, you know,
25:32
in case of Williams, he's probably the best candidate the Democratic Party probably could
25:36
have got. Well. And I'll say this about Steve Williams. Steve Williams
25:40
is he's a Democrat. But if you want to label people as super super
25:47
liberal, he's not Stephen Smith, you know. So he's a little bit
25:51
more moderate of a Democrat. And I heard the interview that I read what
25:53
you did, But I also I heard the interview that Dave Wilson did with
25:57
Glenn Elliott, and I've had Glenn Elliott on this show as well. I
26:00
think they're doing a good job of messaging right now and trying to say,
26:03
look, you know, it's identity politics. If you, as I've constantly
26:07
said, if you're running for Work County Assessor, you know you're going to
26:10
be aligned with either whoever the worst Democrat or worst Republican is, because that's
26:15
just kind of where we are right now. But I think they're doing a
26:18
good job of those two anyway of trying to say, okay, like vote
26:22
for me, don't don't worry about don't throw out the name Schumer or Biden
26:26
or whatever. Let's just let's look at who I am and keep in mind
26:29
in case of Glenn Elliott, he's got a contested primary, he's got Zachary
26:32
Shrewsbury, who's very much a progressive in that race. And well, and
26:34
of course Don Blanketship, who I will be talking to later today, and
26:38
you're going to be interviewing Don Blankenship. I've had mister Blankenship on the show
26:41
several times. Let me knock out some text because I know you've got to
26:44
go, but you got you're a popular guy, Steve, Oh wow,
26:48
Texas. Not in your own house like Texas. The only way to save
26:52
our country is to overturn citizens United until anonymous money is rooted out our week
26:56
in greedy politicians will bow down to the donor who are their puppet masters.
27:02
I've never really bought into that, to be honest, Like I do think
27:04
there's too much money in politics, but I've never most people or organizations or
27:11
political action committees or whatever have you donate to people that they already agree with
27:18
For the most part, they're not donating in the hopes to sway that person
27:22
towards their view. They're donating to people that they're already kind of sampatico with.
27:27
I think. So, I don't know if I've ever really kind of
27:30
bought the puppet master thing to some extent, but but I do think money
27:36
certainly plays a real big issue. And I've always said the person with the
27:41
most money doesn't always win. The person that has no money almost always doesn't
27:45
win very well. Put Tex says, why is it mac Warner's message that
27:49
the CIA rigged the twenty twenty election resonating with Republican primary voters. Have you
27:55
offer saken the big lie? Well, I mean, here's the thing about
27:57
it. The number of Republicans believe the big lie about the election. So
28:04
I don't know that that's necessarily hurting Macwarner or the others. Well, that's
28:07
the thing. I mean, if you already kind of believe the election was
28:11
stolen and you're all in on Trump, you're probably and I hate to say
28:17
this, but you're probably already all in on say either Patrick Morrissey, who
28:22
is very much a MAGA Trump candidate, or you're in with Chris Miller,
28:29
who also is very much a MAGA Trump candidate. Now, I don't think
28:33
they've ever gone as far as mac Warner did say in the Hobby w veteran
28:38
Who's to be back in December and said absolutely the election was stolen. But
28:44
I do think that if you already believe that there are people that are on
28:48
the ballot that also believe that that you could support other than Macwarner had a
28:53
text here as somebody asking your opinion on Steve Williams. We touched on a
28:56
little bit of anything else you want to say about Steve Williams. I just
29:00
think that he's got to start putting some money in the end of that race,
29:04
because if he ends up against Morrissey based on I mean just on this
29:08
most recent campaign finance report, when you've got that much money coming in from
29:14
all over, when you've got so much support from Americans for prosperity, when
29:18
you got money coming in from from Black Bear Pack Club for growth or whatnot,
29:22
they're literally he's got a street team. I mean, he doesn't even
29:25
have to pay for a street team AFP is doing it for him. I
29:29
could wallpaper my house with the flyers I've gotten from him, and I got
29:33
three in the mail yesterday. Yeah, it's just one. They all went
29:34
in the trash, not because not because of the candidate, but that's where
29:37
all the every everyone that comes to my house goes directly in the trash.
29:41
Candidates just so you know that Steve Willams is going to have to put some
29:44
money in. That's all I gotta say. Right, all right, so
29:47
you said you're going to interview uh dog blanket ship. I am got a
29:49
peace coming out this weekend talking to the Democratic candidates for the Senate because as
29:55
we we've been talking about the Republican candidates now that are sucking all the auction
30:00
didn't have the room. There's at least two contested Democratic primaries, once us
30:03
Senate. The other is attorney general, because you've got Teresa Trresiva Wheeley,
30:07
attorney, vice chairman of the state Democratic Party, versus South Charleston mayor and
30:12
perennial candidate Richie Robb. So those are the only two contested statewide races that
30:19
have Democrats in them. So I'm trying to bring some attention to that because
30:23
I think they're interesting. Are you going to get a quote from Mike Pushkin
30:26
about what he thinks about Don Blanketship having the D after his name? Now,
30:30
I think for this one, there's plenty of time for that. I
30:33
do mention that in the article I'm writing, but I'm focused on kind of
30:37
public policy. I want to know why he is running. I do want
30:40
to know why he's running as a Democrat. And I want to know,
30:42
Okay, if you're the dog that catches the ambulance, what you're gonna do
30:48
when you get in there. And that's what I want to know. I
30:51
mean, I don't think Don thinks he's gonna win. I think Don Don
30:53
just likes, you know, being the flying the ointment. I think,
30:56
like, I'm not an anti Don Blankenship GUYO that makes me very popular,
31:00
But being from Cold Country, I don't agree with everything mister Blankenship does.
31:06
But I saw a lot of the good things that he did in the communities
31:08
where I'm from, and there's people down there to this day that would take
31:11
a bullet for Don Blankenship. I'll be really honest with you. People are
31:15
complicated, Yes they are. That's Wildlike animals better. All right, So

34:37
you sir? Oh hi, I'm doing good. And hello to Steven Adams
34:43
if he's maybe out in the hallway. It's it's fun when we're together because
34:47
it's the Brad and Stephen Report as short, THEBS Report. But as you
34:52
said, since you weren't together on the show, mister Adams said the lead
34:54
because he's going to interview Dandy Don Blankenship today. It's it's it's it's not
35:00
the b S Report. If you're not together, it's more of a forum.
35:02
Right, It's a forum. We're just sharing ideas one by one.
35:06
All right, So what's your take in all the all the finance stuff that's
35:09
that's out now, Brad? You know important because it is it's a sign
35:17
of it's one sign of support for the campaigns. You know how much money
35:22
you're able to bring in. But it's also in this run up to the
35:27
May fourteenth election a sign of your ability to get your message out that that
35:31
next Star Emerson poll of a couple of weeks ago showed almost thirty percent undecided
35:38
in you know, the highest profile race of the statewide races, the governor's
35:45
race, and point that is a lot that the potentially could move one way
35:49
or another in these final weeks. And this money is an opportunity to reach
35:52
out to those people and get those late deciders. And you know, what
35:58
I saw shows that Morris is a bit ahead on that fund raising, that
36:02
Capito has more than a million dollars available, a significant amount of money.
36:07
And Chris Miller continues to be able to rely upon his own money. He
36:15
didn't raise a lot, but has millions of dollars of Chris Miller Mundy money
36:20
available to him. Of the four name brand top candidates, as you guys
36:25
said, the one that is on the outside looking in of that fund raising
36:30
with less ability to move up and grab some of that thirty percent undecided,
36:36
it's it's Mac Warner, the two term Secretary of State. He's got a
36:38
track record of winning statewide elections. As you guys described, his family is
36:45
very involved in politics. I mean, if you're out there in West Virginia,
36:49
you know one of the warners. Yeah, and Chris is on the
36:52
ballot too, so you know, for whatever reason, there has not been
36:57
a fund raising support for Max campaign been there for the others well. And
37:01
I think it's very important, and sometimes I don't do a good enough job
37:04
of bringing this up. I think we're talking to Brad Macklhenny. Is the
37:07
fact that thirty percent, as you said, thirty percent or so are still
37:09
undecided in this race, and we're kind of some people are already saying,
37:15
well, it's it's it's Morris Caesar or other people are saying, well it's
37:16
Capitals whatever, because still got thirty percent of the electorate that's undecided. And
37:21
sometimes I me, me, Dave probably needs to do a better job of
37:24
explaining that to people and reminding people that you're still a great number of Brad
37:28
that are still undecided. In second place on that how much money to undecided
37:34
raise? The undecided has has strong support with no spending whatsoever. So undecided
37:43
really is booking expectations going above and beyond undecided. It is your dark horse

37:59
Bro, I don't want to get your take on this story, and
38:00
you have a story posted about it. You posted a story if the website
38:05
is correct, at twelve forty seven am this morning, proving that the news
38:07
never sleeps. It has to do with candidate for Attorney General and current state
38:13
Senator Mike Stewart. He was just on the show last week. The wife
38:16
of State to Trooper Corey Mayner, the trooper who was tragically killed on the
38:22
job last June in an ambush in Mingo County. His widow has taken issue
38:27
with Mike Stewart speaking publicly and about saying certain things that, in her words,
38:32
have not been put out there to the public because they do have a
38:35
trial coming up. Rachel Maynard is her name, and again you get the
38:38
story posted on the website. She's saying that Mike Stewart is talking about things
38:44
that have not been made public, and what I gathered from that is is
38:46
that it could somehow jeopardize the trial, which is going to happen in September.
38:52
She in effect thinks that Mike Stewart has been using her husband's death to
38:54
score campaign points, and she says that she's reached out to him on a
39:00
couple of cases and asked him to stop. He says, for his part,
39:04
his comments were consistent with his working hard to try to get the death
39:07
penalty for anyone convicted of killing a first responder. Now, we had this
39:13
story that came out last week that the Mingo County Deputy Sheriffs Association had endorsed
39:19
or it's in a letter of support for Senator Stewart, which they in turn
39:23
rescinded because of these comments. What do you make of this whole story,
39:31
brad Well? So, first, let me take care of some housekeeping.
39:37
I was up at twelve thirty in the morning with a bucking dog, but
39:40
I did not post the story. Okay, Well, Jeff Jenkins was doing
39:45
the challenging work of trying to keep the story near the top of our website,
39:50
got it so that it was not swamped by sports updates, got it?
39:53
I understand. However, you know, in general, I would say
39:58
that politically this is not an old political axiom, but you do not want
40:02
to be in the position of having a the grieving wife of a slain trooper.
40:10
You That is not typically an advantageous political position, but it's the one
40:17
that Senator Mike Stewart, candidate for Attorney General, finds himself in. Oh
40:25
boy, so let me let me roll back and take the broad picture here
40:30
for just a minute. As you mentioned, Senate persona Mike Stewart has been
40:38
promoting a policy of the death penalty for people accused of killing first responders.
40:46
And he has provided, you know, unfortunately for all West regimes, several
40:52
examples of situations where that might apply. One of them, and among the
40:59
most heart is Sergeant Corey Maynard, who was a state police trooper who was
41:07
summoned to a report of a shooting in Mingo County. He and the other
41:12
responders were, in the words of the state police, ambushed. Stewart has
41:16
used that the way that story touches your heart to make the argument for death
41:27
penalty policy. It is it is hard to separate his advocacy for that policy
41:32
though from his current campaign for attorney general, I mean, politics doesn't have
41:39
meat cutoff points, and it even though he was making that argument in his
41:45
in his position as a state senator, he's running for attorney general. Also,
41:52
the concern that Maynard, the wife of Corey Maynard, has raised is
42:00
is that at least two occasions, she believes Stewart provided information about the last
42:07
moments of Sergeant Cory Mayner's life that were not yet public. And from there
42:14
there are a couple of concerns. One is that there is still a trial
42:19
process, the trial for the accused, except for this September, to release
42:24
things that are not yet public that might be part of the evidence, part
42:30
of the criminal record, you know, a big no no. And the
42:34
other is that you know, she's got a couple of kids that she's she's
42:37
now on her own trying to raise that they're all going through a lot emotionally,
42:43
and she wants to protect her kids from graphic details about what their father
42:51
faced. I know what those details were at this point. One one that
42:58
it was the same set of details. One was described on television, the
43:02
other was briefly described, and then Senator Stewart cut himself off while on the
43:07
Senate floor making a speech about the death penalty policy. She has warned him
43:13
all along that he's getting too close the sensitive areas of what the family is
43:20
going through in terms of the trial and in terms of their emotional recovery.
43:24
And her view is that he has continued to use the case of Sergeant Maynard
43:31
for political benefit, and it reached an inflection point last week when briefly Senator
43:38
Stuart got the endorsement of you know, it was an endorsement that most of
43:44
us wouldn't have paid attention to. It was the Mingo County Deputy Sheriff's Association
43:49
endorsed him for about a day and then got back from people who knew about
43:58
this ongoing situation. The Mingo County part is significant because that is that is
44:01
where that's that's where all that took p So the Mingo County Deputy Sheriff's Association,
44:12
she says, reached out to her, had a discussion within a day,
44:15
rescinded publicly. Uh. At that point, a lot of media,
44:22
including w c HS television and others, uh, you know, dialed in
44:27
understood that this is not the ordinary, that that that the recession of the
44:32
endorsement with these surrounding circumstances, the story in a high profile race, uh
44:39
where there was also, you know, frankly a high profile fatal police shooting.
44:46
Senator Stewart. I talked to him on the phone. He's made other
44:49
public statements. He says that, you know, his his intent was certainly
44:53
not to harm the family. He specifically told me he doesn't think he released
45:00
any information that wouldn't have been public. It's it's worth noting the detail also
45:05
that he was It's been a few years, but he was. He was
45:07
the for southern West Virginia, so has experienced in these matters, but also
45:15
probably hears things. But he says that he he just read news reports and
45:20
was talking about what he had what he had read. He was in a
45:23
debate this week. Senator Stewart was with his opponent JB. Mccusky, and
45:30
you know, in general said he is sorry for what has happened with with
45:36
Rachel Maynard, the wife of Sergeant Maynard, but then became aggressive in saying
45:44
that he thinks that this endorsement essentially was set, was a setup. He
45:47
thinks that the endorsement was made to me to gain attention. I reached out
45:54
to the Deputy Sheriff's Association, particularly about those claims, wanted to hear more
46:00
about the process. I haven't heard back yet. They may they may not
46:04
check their email that often, Rachel Maynard told me. But you know,
46:07
it is what it is. That they learned about her, reached out to
46:14
her, heard her out, believed that endorsing under those conditions was not wise,
46:22
and so they took back the endorsement. And so the entire thing is
46:29
a mess. It's not where you'd want to be politically, and it's I
46:36
think everyone's heart goes out to Rachel Maynard in the family and to have to
46:42
be grieving, to be going through a criminal process, and to find yourself
46:52
in the center of a heated political battle is not anything you'd wish on anyone.
46:57
Yeah, and I'll and we'll close with this, Brad this small on
47:00
X the artist for me known as Twitter, Stuart said, and this is
47:07
a quote on Twitter. Corruption in Mingo County. Question mark, No,
47:12
tell me it's not so that could be as Attorney General Rudy not corruption as
47:16
a chip priority. Too much corruption across West Virginia. I'll have to start
47:21
somewhere end quote, but basically saying, Okay, if I'm elected, I'm
47:27
headed to Mingo County. That's basically what he said. Hey, Brad,
47:29
we're overdue for the break. I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule.
47:31
Give me twenty or thirty seconds. Where are you looking at today?
47:36
The governor is having his briefing today and I've got some outstanding questions. I
47:40
don't mean outstanding like the excellent. I just mean there's a couple of things
47:44
I want to know about. All right, all right, Brad, all
47:47
right, quote unquote noonish, all right, Brad. I appreciate it.

Man, Thanks a lot. It is nine to fifty five back after this.

A ton of texts to get to this morning tech says, going back to
49:53
the campaign finance stuff, Yes, there's absolutely nothing wrong with anonymous, Russian,
49:58
Chinese or Saudi money influencing American elections. Nothing to see here, says
50:02
a Texter Texas is Mike Stewart is such a great legal mind that he's jeopardizing
50:07
the Maynard case with his words. He also has the ire of the widow.
50:10
What a great man and candidate for ag That was sarcasm, Dave,
50:15
says a Texter Texas warner is losing talked about Mike Warner because he's sold is
50:23
sold to the devil by claiming that the CIA stole the election. Normal people
50:27
know that kind of talk is dangerous and foolish and they're not going to vote
50:30
for looney ideas like that. Max political career career is over, and it's
50:35
over because he bought into the lies, says a Texter. Uh, Texas
50:40
politicians are supposed to shake hands a kiss babies. Mike Stewart at taxt Widows
50:44
blames cops are playing politics, insults everyone he meets, and is generally unlikable.
50:47
It seems like a perfect candidate for today's Republican party, it says a
50:52
Texter. Texasid Republicans need to vote for Brian Wood for Secretary of State.
50:55
Doug scaff is a flaming liberal. Chris Warner is really a madman in suit.

Dave, I'm an independent voter and I will not support anyone that agrees that
51:34
our veterans are suckers and losers and our election was stolen. All three leaders
51:37
in the Republican race, all three of the leaders in the Republican race agree
51:42
with this. I will stand with women and Mayor Williams for Governor Texas,
51:46
Dave, This is so normal for the MAGA cult. Just listened to Trump
51:50
and what he says about people Texas. Mike Stewart's tweet doubling down a Mingo
51:55
county and promising to weaponize the AG's office for political purposes is a page right
52:00
out of Daryl McGrath's playbook. If Stewart isn't careful, he'll end up in
52:02
the sequel of Alan Waffrey's book on West Virginia corruption. That is, if
52:06
he writes a sequel after his prison sentence. All right, we gotta go.
