- 2:41Speaker 4: the newsroom bringing Jeff Jenkins. Jeff, good morning. What happened
- 2:45Speaker 4: in the trial on Friday.
- 2:47Speaker 6: Pretty significant testimony. Again, this is a Genie K White
- 2:50Speaker 6: Feather and Donald Ray Lance. That's the couple that was
- 2:53Speaker 6: arrested in the fall of twenty twenty three in connection
- 2:58Speaker 6: with some child abuse out human trafficking counts were added
- 3:02Speaker 6: later some other counts where they allegedly took their adoptive
- 3:05Speaker 6: kids and and treated them like forced labor uh and
- 3:09Speaker 6: treated them mistreated them.
- 3:11Speaker 7: Uh.
- 3:12Speaker 6: So they've been on trial now for it was a
- 3:14Speaker 6: whole week last week and the testimony Friday.
- 3:17Speaker 8: Uh.
- 3:18Speaker 6: Two things focused at one. Uh there were there were
- 3:22Speaker 6: more SHARE's deputies who testified of things they collected, you know,
- 3:26Speaker 6: during during the investigation. But also the Fusion Center had
- 3:30Speaker 6: the Western Fusion Center had a couple of folks who
- 3:32Speaker 6: have analyzed some of that evidence.
- 3:34Speaker 8: Uh.
- 3:34Speaker 6: Some videos were played, uh that have been taken off
- 3:38Speaker 6: of Genie White Feathers phone. Of one of those had
- 3:41Speaker 6: Lance Donald Ray Lance screaming at the kids. So that
- 3:44Speaker 6: was played for the jury. So you get you get
- 3:47Speaker 6: you know something not only words now, but you can
- 3:50Speaker 6: hear the jury could hear what some of the allegations are.
- 3:54Speaker 6: So that could be key testimony for the prosecution looking
- 3:57Speaker 6: to get a conviction.
- 3:58Speaker 9: Uh.
- 3:58Speaker 6: And also Uh then in the afternoon, it was testimony
- 4:03Speaker 6: from one of the children, the girl that she's the oldest,
- 4:08Speaker 6: she's eighteen now. She was sixteen when authorities found her
- 4:12Speaker 6: in that shed with her brother, and so she testified
- 4:16Speaker 6: basically about the last several years living with the White Feathers,
- 4:20Speaker 6: as with White Feather and Lance as her adoptive parents
- 4:24Speaker 6: over several states. She testified. You can read it at
- 4:28Speaker 6: wv metronews dot com about what she says were their
- 4:32Speaker 6: living conditions for the children, how they slept in tents
- 4:35Speaker 6: and then sleeping bags, and how they had to you know,
- 4:38Speaker 6: work the crops without any tools, how they were fed
- 4:44Speaker 6: what many would consider poorly, how they were treated in general,
- 4:50Speaker 6: weren't allowed to you know, hygiene stuff, weren't allowed to bathe,
- 4:54Speaker 6: all those different things. She testified, and pretty compelling testimony,
- 4:58Speaker 6: it seemed. So she took the stand. Did you hear
- 5:01Speaker 6: that testimony? There was some cross examination, but basically she
- 5:06Speaker 6: detailed the last several years. And that's where the trial
- 5:10Speaker 6: ended on Friday, and there could be more children testimony
- 5:13Speaker 6: as the trial resumes tomorrow. No trial today because of
- 5:16Speaker 6: the King holiday.
- 5:17Speaker 4: All right, it's a tragic story and the gripping and
- 5:21Speaker 4: I read a lot of the testimony from the child.
- 5:24Speaker 4: It's just unbelievable. Jeff, I appreciate you being here. We'll
- 5:27Speaker 4: talk again, probably not tomorrow, but we'll talk again Wednesday.
- 5:30Speaker 6: Yeah, at some point, just real quick day, the prosecution
- 5:32Speaker 6: will rest its case and then the defense will begin
- 5:34Speaker 6: calling witnesses to the stand. So we'll see what happens
- 5:37Speaker 6: with the defense. If either White Feather or Lance are
- 5:39Speaker 6: going to choose to take the stand in their own defense.
- 5:42Speaker 6: We'll see what the defense is. We know what they
- 5:45Speaker 6: said in the opening statement. We'll see what happens when
- 5:47Speaker 6: they get the chance to present their case.
- 5:49Speaker 4: All right, Jeff, appreciate it, man, thanks a lot. It

- 6:13Speaker 4: in the show, does Martin Luther King Day. We're gonna
- 6:15Speaker 4: spend some time talking with some folks about a big
- 6:17Speaker 4: event going on in Charleston later this morning, and delicate
- 6:21Speaker 4: Dana Ferrell is going to join us a little bit
- 6:22Speaker 4: later on. But speaking of delegates, I got one with
- 6:24Speaker 4: me right now. That is Delegate Andy Shamlin.
- 6:27Speaker 10: Good morning, sir, Good morning Dave.
- 6:30Speaker 4: It's been a while, it's been It's two delegate Monday.
- 6:33Speaker 4: That's a new thing I'm starting here.
- 6:37Speaker 10: Well, I can't think of of a better program line
- 6:40Speaker 10: up for you.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Well, you know, i'd actually had I think I think
- 6:43Speaker 4: I had you scheduled first, and then a Delegate Farrell.
- 6:46Speaker 4: Now we're going back and forth. You guys, we're talking
- 6:48Speaker 4: about two totally different things. But one thing I am
- 6:52Speaker 4: going to ask both of you as a preview of
- 6:53Speaker 4: the session, and we'll get to that a little bit
- 6:55Speaker 4: later on. Of course, today you're a public teacher, you know,
- 6:59Speaker 4: by Trey public teacher, and today is an off day
- 7:03Speaker 4: because of the Martin Luther King Holiday, although with the
- 7:05Speaker 4: temperatures I think you might have already got I think
- 7:07Speaker 4: you might have had a snow day. Anyway, how is
- 7:10Speaker 4: it with all of these weather delays and whatnot that
- 7:12Speaker 4: we've seen in the schools. We'll start there, Delegate.
- 7:17Speaker 10: Well, it's sort of unpressed. Well I won't say unprecedented,
- 7:21Speaker 10: but coming out of Christmas wanter break and then basically
- 7:25Speaker 10: getting an extended break for a week, and in essence
- 7:30Speaker 10: it really cramped your schedule. And in this year, Kanall
- 7:35Speaker 10: County Schools chose to have finals after Christmas, so we
- 7:40Speaker 10: were supposed to come back and have finals week and
- 7:43Speaker 10: then obviously that got moved back to this upcoming week.
- 7:48Speaker 10: So it makes it very challenging to adapt, especially when
- 7:52Speaker 10: you're getting ready to leave your classroom for the legislative session.
- 7:56Speaker 10: So it just adds another another dynamic to wrapping up
- 8:00Speaker 10: first semester.
- 8:01Speaker 4: Indeeda does. Again. We're talking with Delegate to Amble Andy Shamlin.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Before I continue, there is another thing I wanted to
- 8:06Speaker 4: clear up. I know, because I've known you for quite
- 8:10Speaker 4: a while now. You spent a lot of time in
- 8:12Speaker 4: your classroom with kids talking about civic engagement, the importance
- 8:16Speaker 4: of voting, etc. And I bring that up because I
- 8:19Speaker 4: hear from a lot of people that they feel that
- 8:21Speaker 4: civics need to be taught in our schools. Well, I'm
- 8:23Speaker 4: here to tell you because I spent some time in
- 8:26Speaker 4: your classroom in a former life civic classes are being
- 8:30Speaker 4: taught and taught very well in most cases in our
- 8:33Speaker 4: public schools around the said of West Virginia. Talking about
- 8:35Speaker 4: that just a.
- 8:35Speaker 10: Little bit, Yeah, absolutely, Dave. That is also one of
- 8:40Speaker 10: the greatest misconceptions that I've encountered. Even during my elections,
- 8:44Speaker 10: when I've been out talking to people and knocking on doors,
- 8:47Speaker 10: people will say, we need to teach civics in schools,
- 8:50Speaker 10: and I think we do need to probably emphasize it
- 8:52Speaker 10: a little bit more than.
- 8:53Speaker 11: What we do.
- 8:54Speaker 10: But it is taught across all West Virginia schools according
- 8:59Speaker 10: to our content standards. In grade twelve. That is sort
- 9:02Speaker 10: of a capstone course at the high school level, which
- 9:06Speaker 10: in my opinion, is where it should be in grade
- 9:09Speaker 10: twelve because students are getting ready to graduate, they're getting
- 9:12Speaker 10: ready to start voting, so it's the perfect way to
- 9:15Speaker 10: tie in all the history courses that they have previously taught.
- 9:21Speaker 10: Another thing I will add is there are Civics content
- 9:24Speaker 10: standards for every high school grade. Civics is supposed to
- 9:30Speaker 10: be integrated into nineteenth, eleventh, and of course twelfth is
- 9:36Speaker 10: the is the main focus is civics well.
- 9:38Speaker 4: And that's what they're one of the reasons. I wanted
- 9:40Speaker 4: to bring that up because I get that a lot
- 9:41Speaker 4: on the show, especially when I talk to you know,
- 9:44Speaker 4: maybe other political people too, and for the listeners, they say, well,
- 9:47Speaker 4: they need to go back to teaching Civics again. It
- 9:49Speaker 4: is being taught, and now it's a requirement. When I
- 9:52Speaker 4: was in school, it was only like it was like
- 9:54Speaker 4: it was like a one semester I think, is what
- 9:57Speaker 4: it was. And then it was in junior high, which
- 9:59Speaker 4: shows you how old I am. I didn't go to
- 10:00Speaker 4: middle school. I went to junior high. But I just
- 10:02Speaker 4: kind of wanted to get that out there. Let's get
- 10:04Speaker 4: to the session, Delegan, there's a lot of new faces
- 10:06Speaker 4: in the legislature. I guess that you're considered a veteran
- 10:10Speaker 4: now right.
- 10:13Speaker 10: Yeah, that's one advantage of the House is once you're
- 10:17Speaker 10: there for a term, you have more seniority than probably
- 10:20Speaker 10: a third of the other members at least, and always
- 10:24Speaker 10: a lot of turnover in the House, a lot of changes.
- 10:28Speaker 10: Of course, we're seeing significant changes in the executive branch
- 10:31Speaker 10: as well, so it's going to be a very exciting,
- 10:34Speaker 10: fast moving session.
- 10:36Speaker 4: What are you looking forward to most in this session, Delegate.
- 10:40Speaker 10: Well, I'm looking forward to continuing my work on the
- 10:43Speaker 10: Judiciary Committee as well as serving as vice chairman of
- 10:48Speaker 10: the Courts and Prisons Committee this time around. I've also
- 10:53Speaker 10: asked and received from Speaker Handshaw and appointment to the
- 10:57Speaker 10: Education Committee, which is a new chat for me as
- 11:01Speaker 10: a educator. I did not serve on education during the
- 11:05Speaker 10: first session, mostly for my own by my own choice,
- 11:10Speaker 10: so so I'm looking forward to that that element of
- 11:14Speaker 10: the session as well.
- 11:15Speaker 4: I want to talk to you just a little bit,
- 11:17Speaker 4: and again we're talking with Delegate to Andy Shamblin about
- 11:20Speaker 4: the school discipline issue. I've had Senator Amy Nicole Grady
- 11:23Speaker 4: on the show in the past, and much like you,
- 11:25Speaker 4: she's a classroom teacher. Her students are a little younger
- 11:27Speaker 4: than what years are, but regardless, student discipline is a
- 11:32Speaker 4: major major issue, discipline, absenteeism, things of that nature. Are
- 11:37Speaker 4: you Are you in hopes, Delegate that there will there
- 11:41Speaker 4: can be some kind of meaningful legislation past to address
- 11:44Speaker 4: some of these issues.
- 11:47Speaker 10: Yes, I certainly am, and I think it's a very
- 11:50Speaker 10: complex issue and in some ways it's an issue that's
- 11:54Speaker 10: difficult to solve with legislation because schools are reflection of
- 12:01Speaker 10: the communities in which surround them, and the discipline issues
- 12:08Speaker 10: vary greatly by jurisdiction and community. But I share Senator
- 12:13Speaker 10: Grady's commitment to ensure that classrooms have to be peaceful.
- 12:23Speaker 10: You have to be able to control your classes in
- 12:26Speaker 10: order to educate. And I fear sometimes that that as
- 12:31Speaker 10: a society, just generally, big picture, that we have allowed
- 12:36Speaker 10: the rights of one or two students to outweigh the
- 12:40Speaker 10: rights of everyone else in the classroom who's there to learn.
- 12:44Speaker 10: And that's not to say that we discard the student
- 12:49Speaker 10: who is disruptive or we push them aside and marginalize them,
- 12:54Speaker 10: but we do have to weigh I think several different equities.
- 12:58Speaker 10: I mean, you cannot allow one student to disrupt your class.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Indeed. Uh, well, we wish to the best of luck
- 13:06Speaker 4: in the upcoming session. As you said, there are some
- 13:09Speaker 4: some new faces that'll be serving in the House and
- 13:12Speaker 4: also in the Senate. There's a new leader in the
- 13:14Speaker 4: Senate here of course in the House, Delegate and Andy Shamlin.
- 13:16Speaker 4: It's always a pleasure to talk to you. We'll talk
- 13:19Speaker 4: again probably during the session.
- 13:20Speaker 10: Man, thanks a lot, Yeah, absolutely, Dave, hope you have
- 13:23Speaker 10: a great day and thanks for having me on.

- 17:20Speaker 16: We even have chapters abroad.
- 17:22Speaker 7: In London is one of our newer chapters, but we
- 17:26Speaker 7: are professional women who are committed to service and friendship.
- 17:30Speaker 7: So our chapter here in Charleston has been around since
- 17:33Speaker 7: I believe nineteen fifty one, and we are women who
- 17:38Speaker 7: are trying to make a difference and we work. We
- 17:40Speaker 7: have a number of program areas that we call facets,
- 17:43Speaker 7: from health and human services, youth services to youth, the arts,
- 17:50Speaker 7: as well as engagement, voter engagement and those kinds of things.
- 17:54Speaker 7: So we are really committed to making a difference in
- 17:58Speaker 7: our community and we the persevere even through you know,
- 18:03Speaker 7: nine degree weather or whatever we have here.
- 18:05Speaker 16: So that's a little bit about who we are.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Okay, So let's talk about this event that's happening at
- 18:10Speaker 4: the King Center at Donaldie Street and Charleston this morning.
- 18:13Speaker 4: Just take it from the top, give us the overall
- 18:15Speaker 4: view of what's going on.
- 18:15Speaker 15: All right, what we have today is really a celebration,
- 18:19Speaker 15: but it's a celebration with a lot of fun and
- 18:22Speaker 15: a party. But there's also an aspect of education. So
- 18:26Speaker 15: when the students come in, the young people come in,
- 18:30Speaker 15: they'll be given a scavenger card and that scavenger card
- 18:33Speaker 15: will lead them through a number of panels that where
- 18:36Speaker 15: we have information about the life of doctor King, the
- 18:39Speaker 15: early civil rights movement, women who've been involved in the movement,
- 18:44Speaker 15: women and arts, and then young people who are making
- 18:47Speaker 15: a difference today. We even have a panel that discusses
- 18:51Speaker 15: what happened here in Charleston during the Triangle District, issues
- 18:56Speaker 15: with the loss of businesses and housing, and we want
- 19:00Speaker 15: the children to understand part of the history of how
- 19:04Speaker 15: we got where we are, so they'll have an opportunity
- 19:07Speaker 15: to do that.
- 19:08Speaker 14: Then we have a youth showcase. We've had a couple.
- 19:11Speaker 15: Cancelations due to the weather, but we're going to press through.
- 19:15Speaker 15: We have Bishop Frederick Power, who's a fine artist and sculpture.
- 19:22Speaker 15: He'll bring some of his sculptures as well as discuss
- 19:25Speaker 15: some of his work with the children. We have folks
- 19:29Speaker 15: who are going to be singing who are doing recitations.
- 19:33Speaker 15: We have dancers who will be there. So that's the
- 19:36Speaker 15: youth showcase. And then after the Youth Showcase, we'll have
- 19:40Speaker 15: a special presentation as we honor posthumously individuals from our community.
- 19:48Speaker 15: Mildred Ruth Holt and her husband Moore's k Holt, who
- 19:54Speaker 15: have established a fund with the Greater Canal Valley foundation
- 19:57Speaker 15: to fund educational endeavors will recognize them, and the African
- 20:04Speaker 15: American Philanthropy be An Action through the Greater knav Foundation
- 20:08Speaker 15: will make the first grant presentations from the fund that
- 20:12Speaker 15: they've established, and we believe that's really important because we're
- 20:16Speaker 15: connecting the generations of the young people through what we've
- 20:22Speaker 15: seen the Holts do and how important that is to
- 20:25Speaker 15: the community. Then after all that, a party breaks out.
- 20:29Speaker 14: Yeah, what he woulds will be there throughout.
- 20:32Speaker 4: Well whenever Wood he's there, there's a party, no matter,
- 20:35Speaker 4: no matter what. I want to talk about it again.
- 20:36Speaker 4: We're talking with Michelle Foster and Kitty Dooley about the
- 20:40Speaker 4: things going on in celebration of Martin Luther King Day
- 20:43Speaker 4: and Charleston. I want to talk about the importance of
- 20:45Speaker 4: getting the youth involved in this. I know that as
- 20:47Speaker 4: long as I have been doing this show and I've
- 20:49Speaker 4: had you folks or others on to talk about this,
- 20:51Speaker 4: the importance of getting young people involved because the Martin
- 20:54Speaker 4: Luther King Holiday has been a holiday I think since
- 20:56Speaker 4: the late eighties. I think what happens sometimes, I think
- 21:01Speaker 4: with holidays of any type, is it just becomes a
- 21:05Speaker 4: day off. It's a reason for somebody to have a
- 21:08Speaker 4: mattress sale or something like that. So talk about the
- 21:12Speaker 4: importance of getting young people involved and knowing that it's
- 21:15Speaker 4: not just a day off, it's a day of celebration,
- 21:19Speaker 4: but it's also a day of learning. Talk about that.
- 21:22Speaker 7: Yes, because we are trying to keep the memory the
- 21:28Speaker 7: legacy of doctor King alive. What he fought for, we
- 21:33Speaker 7: are still having to fight for right, so we want
- 21:36Speaker 7: to make sure that the young people know that, you
- 21:40Speaker 7: know he from back when he was alive. He preached
- 21:44Speaker 7: about not being judged by the color of your skin,
- 21:47Speaker 7: but by the content of your character and so much
- 21:50Speaker 7: more so, really keeping his memory alive, keeping his teachings alive,
- 21:56Speaker 7: that is so important for our young people so they
- 22:00Speaker 7: can continue to fight the good fight that he and
- 22:04Speaker 7: others did during the civil rights era. Dave, it's interesting
- 22:10Speaker 7: that you would bring that question up. The genesis of
- 22:15Speaker 7: this celebration came out of the links discussing how we
- 22:19Speaker 7: could connect with the youth because a lot of the
- 22:22Speaker 7: programs that go on, you know, they're focused on speakers
- 22:26Speaker 7: and music songs that didn't connect with the younger people
- 22:31Speaker 7: in our community. And so that's really how this program
- 22:35Speaker 7: started so that we could connect with the youth in
- 22:38Speaker 7: some way, showcase them and then bring them into this
- 22:43Speaker 7: history to be a part of it, to be a
- 22:45Speaker 7: part of the community service. We have young folks who
- 22:48Speaker 7: are teenagers, Xenos and Kudos who may not want to
- 22:52Speaker 7: do the bouncy house and face painting, but they help
- 22:56Speaker 7: the younger people, and they're in service of the fraternities
- 23:01Speaker 7: and sororities, the Divine nine. They're there and they're in
- 23:05Speaker 7: service to this greater community. And the beauty of it
- 23:09Speaker 7: is Doctor King talked about the beloved community, and you
- 23:13Speaker 7: really see that through this event because it's all people,
- 23:18Speaker 7: all colors, all organizations coming together so that we can
- 23:23Speaker 7: be of service and hopefully build up the children that
- 23:26Speaker 7: would We've got to remember the art piece too, one
- 23:28Speaker 7: thing that we do. We've been doing now this will
- 23:30Speaker 7: be our third year of having it. We work with
- 23:33Speaker 7: artists Ian Body, and we do a collaborative art piece,
- 23:37Speaker 7: so people who are present. Ian kind of lays it out,
- 23:41Speaker 7: draws it out, and then we get to color in
- 23:45Speaker 7: and you know, and he cleans it up because you
- 23:47Speaker 7: know it's but it's that's always a wonderful experience of
- 23:53Speaker 7: community bringing us all together to put our strokes into
- 23:57Speaker 7: that masterpiece. Really, the last one we did is now
- 24:01Speaker 7: is at the Kinaal County Public Library, So hopefully we'll
- 24:04Speaker 7: find another wonderful location for this one.
- 24:07Speaker 16: But that's also a big piece of what we do.
- 24:10Speaker 4: And a lot of these young people s Duley may
- 24:13Speaker 4: not realize the doctor Martin Luther King ties to Charleston
- 24:16Speaker 4: that that you know, he spent he spent time.
- 24:19Speaker 7: Here, and he preached here, and he spoke here at
- 24:21Speaker 7: at the first Baptist Church, it's my understanding. And then later, uh,
- 24:27Speaker 7: doctor Ron English was pastor there and he was actually
- 24:31Speaker 7: a mentee of doctor King, prayed at his at his
- 24:35Speaker 7: funeral homegoing service. As we say, uh but but but
- 24:41Speaker 7: even though he was here in the valley.
- 24:44Speaker 15: His work has spread not just through this valley, not
- 24:47Speaker 15: just students Southern United States, but really across this country
- 24:52Speaker 15: and across this world. And the things that he fought for,
- 24:56Speaker 15: as Michelle said, to to really end racism, to bring
- 25:00Speaker 15: equality and equity into our nation are really so important
- 25:05Speaker 15: now just because the movements that we see afoot, and
- 25:09Speaker 15: it's important for people to know and understand that history
- 25:14Speaker 15: because really it seems like we're getting ready to relive
- 25:17Speaker 15: some of it, and we've got to be able to
- 25:19Speaker 15: fight against it and come against it as those who
- 25:23Speaker 15: fought during the Civil rights era, the modern civil rights era,
- 25:26Speaker 15: we should say, in the fifties and sixties.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Talked about the Beat our sister station with wood Woods
- 25:32Speaker 4: one of seven three to beat being involved. The Dowley

- 25:43Speaker 4: the Central Community Tabernacle gk V funding just some of
- 25:48Speaker 4: the folks that can that came together to make all
- 25:51Speaker 4: this possible, because without all these folks, these kind of
- 25:54Speaker 4: programs aren't possible, exactly.
- 25:56Speaker 15: And we really appreciate all of our sponsors in the
- 25:59Speaker 15: work that they do in support.
- 26:01Speaker 14: Of what we do, and thank you so much for
- 26:03Speaker 14: bringing that up.

- 26:11Speaker 4: on the road, you know, to get you over there.
- 26:14Speaker 4: What do you all want people to know about the
- 26:16Speaker 4: legacy of doctor Martin Luther King?
- 26:20Speaker 14: That it's relevant today.
- 26:24Speaker 7: A lot of times now we see people taking doctor
- 26:27Speaker 7: King's words and twisting them. Doctor King was for what
- 26:33Speaker 7: we say this country is about equality for all. Yes,
- 26:37Speaker 7: he fought for the rights of African Americans in this country,
- 26:41Speaker 7: but he also was fighting for those who live in poverty.
- 26:46Speaker 7: As I listened to him yesterday, he was talking about
- 26:50Speaker 7: those in poverty in Appalachia in the nineteen sixties. And
- 26:54Speaker 7: so he fought for this country to live up to
- 26:58Speaker 7: his creed.
- 26:59Speaker 15: That all men created equal, that we are endowed by
- 27:03Speaker 15: our creator with certain in aliena or right. Among those
- 27:07Speaker 15: are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And that's
- 27:12Speaker 15: what he fought for. Uh And we want everyone to
- 27:16Speaker 15: know that and understand it and continue to work towards
- 27:19Speaker 15: those auspicious goals.
- 27:21Speaker 4: Okay, shall do you want to add anything to that?
- 27:23Speaker 4: I don't know what you can.
- 27:25Speaker 16: I know that's why she's attorney Kitty. She's a tough

- 31:10Speaker 4: percents up, and so we're gonna spend some time talking
- 31:13Speaker 4: about that. Andy, I'm sorry not Andy. Tom Sussman is

- 32:08Speaker 4: in progress. So he apparently Nana Ferrell, Delicate Farrell called
- 32:13Speaker 4: the wrong number. So let me see what I can
- 32:18Speaker 4: do about that. We're working. It's work in progress here, folks.
- 32:23Speaker 4: So all right, well have delicate Dana Ferrell on motion.

- 32:30Speaker 4: the wrong number. So Ryan, if you want to go
- 32:33Speaker 4: ahead and you want to try to call him, that'll
- 32:35Speaker 4: be fine. I've got I got the boss looking at

- 33:13Speaker 4: twelve hours or so. I wouldn't know. I'm going to
- 33:15Speaker 4: get in that a little bit later on. I do

- 33:28Speaker 11: Well I was.
- 33:32Speaker 5: It.
- 33:32Speaker 4: I got it, I got it, I got we got
- 33:34Speaker 4: you now. I appreciate you being here. On a serious
- 33:37Speaker 4: note here, Delegate, we have been We've all been following
- 33:40Speaker 4: this trial. The horrific details all coming out now in
- 33:44Speaker 4: the in the White Feather Lance trial. Jeff Jenkins and
- 33:48Speaker 4: I actually talked about it on the show. There was
- 33:50Speaker 4: some gripping testimony on on Friday from one of one
- 33:54Speaker 4: of the one of the kids involved there. There'll be
- 33:55Speaker 4: there's a break today because of the King Holiday, but
- 33:58Speaker 4: they will come back tomorrow and at some point soon
- 34:02Speaker 4: the prosecution will ask and the defense will take the stand.
- 34:05Speaker 4: And as I said, testimony you suspected to continue, probably
- 34:08Speaker 4: in that regard from another week or two, maybe a
- 34:10Speaker 4: little bit longer. You reached out to me, and and
- 34:14Speaker 4: let's be honest, the full disclosion of you and I
- 34:16Speaker 4: have been friends for a number of years, but you've
- 34:18Speaker 4: taken a little bit of an issue with some things.
- 34:22Speaker 4: As it pertains to this trial and the way that
- 34:27Speaker 4: it is portrayed in the media. So and as it
- 34:33Speaker 4: has to do with the community of Cystinville, because it's
- 34:35Speaker 4: an area that that you represent in the House of Delegates.
- 34:39Speaker 4: So just kind of take it from there.
- 34:42Speaker 11: Yes, thank you.
- 34:43Speaker 10: And it's not just me.
- 34:45Speaker 11: It took the issue obviously, several of my constitutions which
- 34:48Speaker 11: reached outish me and had concern about this and that
- 34:51Speaker 11: you know obviously, and as Jeff Thinkins has done a
- 34:54Speaker 11: great job covering this, as some of the other media
- 34:57Speaker 11: and as you said, the details are horrific that happened.
- 35:01Speaker 11: And unfortunately these things happened, uh more than we would
- 35:05Speaker 11: want to for certain.
- 35:07Speaker 8: Uh.
- 35:07Speaker 11: You know, we had the case of ra Moon County
- 35:09Speaker 11: and just one that I think over here in South
- 35:10Speaker 11: Hills and Charleston recently. Uh and I'm probably sure as
- 35:13Speaker 11: we're talking here there are other cases that we don't
- 35:16Speaker 11: even know about that will come tlight and uh so
- 35:19Speaker 11: those are those are tough. But the the thing that
- 35:22Speaker 11: the people here in our community wanted to emphasize that
- 35:26Speaker 11: although this event happened uh here in our community. Uh,
- 35:30Speaker 11: these people were not from Sistonsville, and they moved here
- 35:33Speaker 11: from Washington State. Uh. And and as you see oftentimes
- 35:37Speaker 11: in these kind of cases, UH, the perpetrators are moving
- 35:41Speaker 11: around like that in an effort to avoid any kind
- 35:45Speaker 11: of oversight. Uh, the more that can kind of move around.
- 35:48Speaker 11: So you know that that's the case that happened here.
- 35:50Speaker 11: These aren't Systemville people. UH, this is the Systemal community.
- 35:55Speaker 11: If you look at what it covers is a vast
- 35:58Speaker 11: area from cross Slands to hel Few from inside Trust's
- 36:01Speaker 11: city wits the southern Jackson County and incorporates about twenty
- 36:05Speaker 11: five thousand people. If it was incorporated, it would be
- 36:07Speaker 11: the sixth largest city in the state.
- 36:09Speaker 4: I had no idea. Let me jump in here, Delli.
- 36:11Speaker 4: I had no idea until you told me that that
- 36:13Speaker 4: that area was considered it. If it were a city,
- 36:17Speaker 4: it would be the sixth largest state in West Virginia.
- 36:19Speaker 4: I had no idea until you told me that.
- 36:21Speaker 11: Yeah, so it's the fast area. So obviously things are
- 36:24Speaker 11: going to happen. You had bad and ugly in any
- 36:27Speaker 11: area of that size, as we see across the stat
- 36:30Speaker 11: any other city in West Virginia. But I think, for instance,
- 36:33Speaker 11: just last week the high school over here, the boys
- 36:35Speaker 11: basketball game partnered with the assistant of LQ and Hoober
- 36:39Speaker 11: played over here and raised money for the young man
- 36:43Speaker 11: over in South Hills. It has the cant battle going on,
- 36:46Speaker 11: one that's been in the news. So you know, communities
- 36:49Speaker 11: and it's not just Systonville. Even look at West Virginia.
- 36:52Speaker 11: You know you're from Logan and I'm sure you've probably
- 36:55Speaker 11: seen Logan had a story or two come out of
- 36:57Speaker 11: the area. I K that's not representative of the people
- 37:00Speaker 11: with Logan, sure, and it's the same here in West Virginia.
- 37:04Speaker 11: If you know, look at us on the national stage
- 37:06Speaker 11: and what the bad rap we get a lot of time,
- 37:10Speaker 11: so you know, we know better that the people in
- 37:11Speaker 11: West Virginia are great people. We give their shirt off
- 37:15Speaker 11: the back to help their neighbor and sometimes we get
- 37:20Speaker 11: unfairly stereotype in the national media. So that's all I
- 37:25Speaker 11: wanted to say. The system Mill is a better place.
- 37:27Speaker 11: And these people are not from Systemville. They were from
- 37:31Speaker 11: Washington State, mooved here and an effort, i think to
- 37:33Speaker 11: avoid detection of what.
- 37:35Speaker 4: They were what they were doing, and we'll see again.
- 37:39Speaker 4: There's no trial today because of the King Holiday with
- 37:42Speaker 4: the courthouses being closed, but it will resume tomorrow. Some
- 37:46Speaker 4: very good points. Again we're talking with the deligate Dana Ferrell,
- 37:49Speaker 4: the Dave Island showing five any line brought to you
- 37:50Speaker 4: apart by Pinnacle Consultants. Pour into air quality can cause
- 37:53Speaker 4: a variety of health issues, allergies, respiratory problems and more.
- 37:57Speaker 4: Pinnacle offers specialized intoor air quality services for residential, commercial,
- 38:01Speaker 4: and industrial type settings. There's a Pinnacle Court dot net
- 38:04Speaker 4: because what you don't know can hurt you. Move it along.
- 38:07Speaker 4: You have a new role I understand as the chairman
- 38:09Speaker 4: of the House Subcommittee on Local Governments.
- 38:11Speaker 11: What is that, Delegate, Well, this is a new committee
- 38:16Speaker 11: and let me say this to the legislature. And I
- 38:19Speaker 11: heard your interview with Delget Chamblain earlier too, and obviously
- 38:23Speaker 11: one of the big things you can expect going into
- 38:25Speaker 11: the session, the House of Delegates has re formatted how
- 38:31Speaker 11: our committees are going to be made up. This is
- 38:34Speaker 11: a big chain from the way business has been done
- 38:36Speaker 11: for the last few decades probably, and we're going to
- 38:40Speaker 11: have the five major standing committees in Health and Education, Judiciary, Finance,
- 38:48Speaker 11: and I think of them Energy. So we'll have and
- 38:51Speaker 11: then underneath of all those sustaining committees who will have
- 38:54Speaker 11: all these series of subcommittees that are made up of
- 38:57Speaker 11: smaller groups of delegates and most legislation. I think the
- 39:03Speaker 11: idea there from leadership is to uh, not work on
- 39:08Speaker 11: how many bills we can pass out of there just
- 39:10Speaker 11: so somebody can have their name on a bill, but
- 39:12Speaker 11: to really focus on this bill, you know, what is
- 39:16Speaker 11: it trying to fix and solve and does it do that?
- 39:19Speaker 11: And then the other probably even more important means we
- 39:22Speaker 11: can have these subcommittees, we'll be having a lot of
- 39:24Speaker 11: oversight on the bills and legislation that we've already passed.
- 39:29Speaker 11: As the executive branch able to fulfill these able to
- 39:32Speaker 11: carry them out or these agencies carrying them out. It's
- 39:36Speaker 11: not going to go and look I want sorry, you
- 39:39Speaker 11: let me get back.
- 39:40Speaker 4: No, we just lost it there for a second, but
- 39:43Speaker 4: I think you're back with us.
- 39:44Speaker 11: Go ahead, okay. And you know, and you asked about
- 39:47Speaker 11: figure subcommittee. I'll be working with uh. And I know
- 39:50Speaker 11: what aren't goal is you mean you look at West
- 39:51Speaker 11: virgin when we just mentioned there earlier that this state
- 39:55Speaker 11: is made up of small towns and small cities, as
- 39:58Speaker 11: we don't have a Columbus, whereas Charlotte or Nashville kind
- 40:02Speaker 11: of area that we have all these quaint small towns communities,
- 40:06Speaker 11: and I think the idea of this committee is to
- 40:09Speaker 11: look at how can we help those communities be the
- 40:13Speaker 11: best that they can be, you know, for a great
- 40:15Speaker 11: place to live and work and do business. And so
- 40:18Speaker 11: that's what we'll be looking at some areas, and we
- 40:20Speaker 11: look at West Virginia's meet up of different regions and say,
- 40:23Speaker 11: what works in the eastern Panhandle may not work along
- 40:26Speaker 11: the Ohio River in the southern areas and things like that.
- 40:29Speaker 11: So we're going to look at, you know, what works
- 40:31Speaker 11: best for each region, how can we best help those
- 40:35Speaker 11: communities be the best that they can be.
- 40:38Speaker 4: Tell good Dana Farrells here before we let you go.
- 40:41Speaker 4: And you've been on the show in the past talking
- 40:43Speaker 4: about this proposal for a possible r V water park resort.
- 40:47Speaker 4: Haven't heard anything about that in a while. Is that
- 40:50Speaker 4: still a thing? What's going on by Well, yeah.
- 40:52Speaker 11: I think obviously that's something that still wanted to burner
- 40:57Speaker 11: that I've been working with developers from Texas and they
- 41:00Speaker 11: have another one who afforded this now interested because certainly
- 41:04Speaker 11: with the new National Park and with our location within
- 41:07Speaker 11: the eastern seaboard mid Atlantic that West Virginia is a
- 41:11Speaker 11: prime location. And this is a huge industry now, I
- 41:14Speaker 11: mean it's grilling by leaps and bounds, fifty five billion
- 41:18Speaker 11: dollar annual revenue in this so you want to see
- 41:22Speaker 11: I think more and more interests coming to that in
- 41:24Speaker 11: And we struggle with previous developers looking here because of
- 41:29Speaker 11: access to on a road situation, and we really struggle
- 41:32Speaker 11: working with previous administration to get that across the line.
- 41:37Speaker 11: But you know, I'm confident with the new administration coming
- 41:39Speaker 11: in that we can start to work with some things.
- 41:41Speaker 11: And I think I know there's still interest in the
- 41:44Speaker 11: developers to be here. They want to be here. We
- 41:46Speaker 11: just got to get conditions right to make it happen.
- 41:49Speaker 4: All right, now, Logo, it's always a pleasure to have
- 41:51Speaker 4: you on the show. I appreciate you being here, and
- 41:54Speaker 4: of course session starts February twelve, we'll probably have you

- 47:34Speaker 4: mentioned the whole TikTok thing. The long national nightmare is over.
- 47:38Speaker 4: The app went dark late Saturday night, was back up
- 47:41Speaker 4: sometime early yesterday afternoon. I say sometime because I do
- 47:44Speaker 4: not tick, nor do I talk, so I only know
- 47:47Speaker 4: that it was gone because I started getting alerts on
- 47:50Speaker 4: my phone about it. It's not from TikTok, but from
- 47:53Speaker 4: social media and news sources and so on and so forth.
- 47:57Speaker 4: Now Trump, in some people's eyes, is now the savior.
- 48:04Speaker 4: Is now the savior of of TikTok. I guess I'm
- 48:09Speaker 4: not sure speaking of the president or well, I guess
- 48:12Speaker 4: he was officially sworn in TJ. Was he officially sworn
- 48:14Speaker 4: in last night? The president twelve and one? That's what
- 48:18Speaker 4: they normally to go back and check, I'm not sure
- 48:20Speaker 4: that's what they that's what they normally do. But the
- 48:21Speaker 4: inauguration is going on today. Did you happen to see
- 48:26Speaker 4: the clip of President Trump on stage with the Village people?
- 48:29Speaker 4: I did see that. He apparently has a real fondness
- 48:34Speaker 4: for the village people, and particularly the song y m
- 48:37Speaker 4: c A. Does anybody want to explain to him the
- 48:43Speaker 4: connotation of what that song is actually about. It's it's
- 48:51Speaker 4: just kind of bizarre, to be honest with you. Speaking
- 48:54Speaker 4: of bizarre, outgoing President Biden is issuing preemptive pardons right
- 49:02Speaker 4: and left, including for doctor Anthony Fauci. Interesting considering he
- 49:06Speaker 4: hasn't done anything wrong, at least criminally that we know of.
- 49:13Speaker 4: Really weird flex in my opinion. There was a statement
- 49:15Speaker 4: I read from doctor Fauci basically thanking and I'm very
- 49:20Speaker 4: much paraphrase and you're basically thanking President Biden, but saying
- 49:23Speaker 4: I did nothing wrong, but I'll keep the pardon in
- 49:26Speaker 4: my back pocket. I guess I don't know. It's just
- 49:30Speaker 4: and now the President Trump, well over two hundred executive
- 49:33Speaker 4: orders are on the way, including mass deportations, so on
- 49:38Speaker 4: and so forth. Meknock got a couple of texts here, Okay,
- 49:46Speaker 4: look how sick and lost America is. By the way,
- 49:49Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy million fools were acting with a
- 49:51Speaker 4: TikTok shutdown. They'd rather watch their totally stupid stuff to
- 49:54Speaker 4: be concerned by the Chinese spy threat that this app
- 49:57Speaker 4: is America will fall in one day if invaded fools
- 50:01Speaker 4: on display big time. Some even called nine to one
- 50:04Speaker 4: one about it. I did read that article DJ people
- 50:06Speaker 4: had called nine to one one about their TikTok. Now,
- 50:08Speaker 4: now I will say this about TikTok, as I said,
- 50:10Speaker 4: I'm not on it. If that's what people want to do,
- 50:14Speaker 4: find more power to them. But I will say this,
- 50:17Speaker 4: there's a whole lot of money being made on TikTok.
- 50:19Speaker 4: This would this app whether you like it or you don't,
- 50:22Speaker 4: this app going away is a multi billion dollar business
- 50:26Speaker 4: in America, and there's a lot of people that may
- 50:31Speaker 4: and they can certainly shift that to other places, I guess.
- 50:36Speaker 4: But for people to say, well, it's just a video,
- 50:38Speaker 4: and it's just, you know, whatever's on TikTok, it's to
- 50:41Speaker 4: some people, it's a lot more than that. It's a livelihood.
- 50:44Speaker 4: It's a lot now and again possibly they can move
- 50:46Speaker 4: that into other forms. I don't know, you're shaking your
- 50:49Speaker 4: head over here, meadows. Get rid of it.
- 50:52Speaker 21: It shouldn't have been brought back, period. And you know,
- 50:55Speaker 21: you talk about sacrifice. Talk to the greatest generation, the
- 50:59Speaker 21: w W twogen about what they gave up in order
- 51:02Speaker 21: to protect freedom in this country. And then go talk
- 51:04Speaker 21: to a TikToker who's you know, inconvenienced. Understand that some
- 51:07Speaker 21: people make a living off of it. There are other platforms.
- 51:10Speaker 21: That's fine. But at the end of the day, we
- 51:14Speaker 21: have a president in President Trump, who in his first
- 51:16Speaker 21: term said TikTok was a problem, yeah, noted it, that
- 51:19Speaker 21: it was bad for national security.
- 51:21Speaker 4: Now he's all for it. Okay, fine, But we know
- 51:23Speaker 4: why he's all for it because it got him relected.
- 51:25Speaker 4: Because it was a big part of why he got reelected.
- 51:27Speaker 4: Not the major part, but it was a big part.
- 51:29Speaker 21: But go ahead, and then we have a duly passed
- 51:31Speaker 21: law by the Congress saying it has to be divested
- 51:34Speaker 21: it's a national security issue. The Supreme Court upheld that,
- 51:37Speaker 21: and now our president is talking about an executive order
- 51:41Speaker 21: to overturn a duly passed law.
- 51:43Speaker 4: You can't do that. You cannot do that. Get ready
- 51:46Speaker 4: for a whole lot of you can't do that with
- 51:48Speaker 4: this administration. Well, you know, at the end of the day,
- 51:51Speaker 4: he's not going to do a lot of them.
- 51:52Speaker 21: You've heard me real on China. I mean, this thing,
- 51:55Speaker 21: it's a spy tool, it's a propaganda tool. It can
- 51:57Speaker 21: be used as a trojan horse if we ever do
- 51:59Speaker 21: get into a conflict with China. And oh by the way, Dave,
- 52:01Speaker 21: you can't go to China and get on Facebook or
- 52:03Speaker 21: x right. I mean, if this were nineteen eighty five
- 52:06Speaker 21: and this was going on in nineteen eighty three, picked
- 52:08Speaker 21: the date and this was Russia, Reagan would have killed
- 52:11Speaker 21: that and everybody would have been applauding about it.
- 52:12Speaker 4: I don't understand, nor do I, But there's a lot
- 52:16Speaker 4: of things in this world I don't understand. But I
- 52:18Speaker 4: do understand that TJ. Meadows and Dave Wilson are coming
- 52:21Speaker 4: up a talk line that's right ten oh six, coming
- 52:24Speaker 4: up on the show tomorrow again. Dele I get a
- 52:25Speaker 4: new judiciary. It's here A jb Acres will be stopping
