1:41
Speaker 3: Also something else want to talk to Brian about. There's
1:44
Speaker 3: a lot of chatter on the interwebs about a possible
1:47
Speaker 3: snowstorm this weekend. Out again, after what we went through
1:52
Speaker 3: last week, it does not look like it's going to
1:54
Speaker 3: impact this area at all. Maybe a little light snow
1:56
Speaker 3: that's it. But certain other areas, many in western Virginia
2:00
Speaker 3: are going to get hit by this. And especially if
2:02
Speaker 3: you got friends down in the Carolinas that Myrtle Beach,
2:05
Speaker 3: they're going to wonder what hit him and we're gonna
2:06
Speaker 3: talk to Brian Hughes coming about coming up about it
2:09
Speaker 3: a little bit later on. Also, restaurant week going on
2:12
Speaker 3: in Charleston. And you know, they they picked the last
2:16
Speaker 3: week of January for a restaurant week for a reason
2:18
Speaker 3: because traditionally it's one of the slower times coming off
2:21
Speaker 3: the Christmas holiday, people making New Year's resolutions, paying Christmas bills,
2:26
Speaker 3: so on and so forth. Well, it really got slow
2:29
Speaker 3: this week because of the weather. Many of the restaurants
2:32
Speaker 3: didn't open at all, Others only you know, open with
2:34
Speaker 3: the partial staff. So on it so we'd so some
2:35
Speaker 3: must spend a little time talking about restaurant Week and
2:38
Speaker 3: come it up a little bit later. Also some things
2:41
Speaker 3: in the legislature, some very interesting things in the legislature
2:43
Speaker 3: to get to. But it's always your phone calls and
2:45
Speaker 3: text to welcome Big Lee Pickley Wiggley hotline three zero
2:47
Speaker 3: four three four five fifty eight fifty eight. Tony Ban

Speaker 3: Now Jason Moss, who's ahead of governmental affairs for Wonders School.
2:59
Speaker 3: Now he's going to be at the Cap but a
3:00
Speaker 3: little bit later. But from now he's joined us at
3:02
Speaker 3: the Jeric Constructions Studios. Jason, good morning, welcome to the show.
3:04
Speaker 3: Good morning, thank you for being here. Welcome to West Virginia.
3:08
Speaker 3: Where's home for you? Where you're from? Originally New York,
3:10
Speaker 3: New York? Okay, So what part of New York? You
3:12
Speaker 3: don't mind my asking? Because there's a reason I'm asking.
3:14
Speaker 3: I'm in Westchester, Okay, all right, Okay, Well I was
3:16
Speaker 3: gonna say, because you get some areas in New York,
3:18
Speaker 3: you're probably laughing at what we have out here, but
3:20
Speaker 3: not west Chester. I mean, that's not you don't get
3:22
Speaker 3: all of the snow and nice right there. We got
3:24
Speaker 3: we got crushed by the snow, this particular one. You know,
3:27
Speaker 3: how much did you get?
3:28
Speaker 5: I've got over two feet and I've got a hole
3:29
Speaker 5: in my ceilings.
3:30
Speaker 3: So okay, that's always a recipe for a good time
3:33
Speaker 3: right there. All right, explain first of all, the whole
3:38
Speaker 3: concept of Wonder School.
3:40
Speaker 5: Wonder School is a company that works with state and
3:43
Speaker 5: local governments to provide technology solutions to support the most
3:46
Speaker 5: pressing childcare issues.
3:48
Speaker 3: Okay, and what are some of those issues that you
3:50
Speaker 3: look at.
3:51
Speaker 5: Some of those issues. Are we need more childcare? Obviously, yeah,
3:55
Speaker 5: there's childcare desert, so we helped to stand up more childcare.
3:58
Speaker 5: Some of it is helping parents find childcare, so we
4:01
Speaker 5: build technology to make that process easier and to help
4:04
Speaker 5: childcare providers market their services. Some of that is about
4:08
Speaker 5: helping to find staff, so we run marketplaces to find
4:11
Speaker 5: substitutes or full time teachers. One of the things that
4:14
Speaker 5: we've been doing here in West Virginia for the past
4:16
Speaker 5: year is implementing a very innovative cost sharing program called
4:20
Speaker 5: tri Share and try shares a way to make childcare
4:23
Speaker 5: more affordable for people because it splits the cost of
4:26
Speaker 5: childcare between the participating employer, the state, and the employee.
4:32
Speaker 3: Talk about this whole concept because I was doing a
4:34
Speaker 3: little reading on it about tri share, But I think
4:37
Speaker 3: we've talked about this on the show in the past.
4:41
Speaker 3: But where does the whole idea come from? Where did
4:43
Speaker 3: the idea for this tri share come from? I know
4:46
Speaker 3: the need for it, but how did you formulate the
4:48
Speaker 3: whole thing?
4:49
Speaker 5: I mean, the original idea came from Michigan in twenty
4:52
Speaker 5: twenty one. They started it as a three county pilot
4:56
Speaker 5: but I think here in the state, I think there
4:59
Speaker 5: were two things that sort of led to getting it
5:01
Speaker 5: off the ground. One, as our governor said, we must
5:04
Speaker 5: focus on the labor force participation rate. How do we
5:07
Speaker 5: get people back to work. One of the things that's
5:10
Speaker 5: you know, clear is glass from the research, is you
5:12
Speaker 5: need to think about addressing childcare challenges. If people feel
5:15
Speaker 5: like they don't have their childcare needs met, they're not
5:17
Speaker 5: going to go back to work or they're not going
5:19
Speaker 5: to stay in work. So that was sort of that
5:21
Speaker 5: was sort of one of the reasons that we got
5:23
Speaker 5: involved in the other was because the Small Business Development
5:27
Speaker 5: Center received a grant to address this issue head on,
5:31
Speaker 5: and they asked us to come help implement it in
5:33
Speaker 5: a set of eight pilot counties.
5:35
Speaker 3: And I think one of the things that's interesting about
5:37
Speaker 3: the need for childcare is for you know, for people
5:41
Speaker 3: that maybe have a little age on them, like myself,
5:44
Speaker 3: like I do, and others, you may be thinking, well,
5:46
Speaker 3: what's what's the big deal If you're a especially a
5:50
Speaker 3: younger parent, maybe even a middle aged parent at this point,
5:52
Speaker 3: our grandparent even it's a major major roadblock into getting
5:57
Speaker 3: people back either back to work or getting or getting
6:01
Speaker 3: a good job. It's I mean, it's it's it's a
6:05
Speaker 3: major major what's the world on monkboards, It's a roadblock,
6:08
Speaker 3: for lack of.
6:08
Speaker 5: A better term, We did a survey with West Virginia
6:11
Speaker 5: employers and eighty four percent of those surveys said that
6:15
Speaker 5: childcare challenges impact their employee's ability to work. It's a
6:20
Speaker 5: major hurdle in terms of recruitment, to major hurdle in
6:23
Speaker 5: terms of retention. And over half said that they could
6:26
Speaker 5: see sort of increased absenteeism or lost productivity because of it.
6:30
Speaker 5: And it makes sense right first and foremost, you gotta
6:32
Speaker 5: want to make sure that your children are safe, that
6:34
Speaker 5: they're being taken care of. And it's given the cost
6:37
Speaker 5: of childcare and the cost of childcare are a rising
6:40
Speaker 5: in forty five of the fifty states in this country,
6:42
Speaker 5: and they're huge. They can be the cost of your
6:44
Speaker 5: monthly mortgage. Making sure that you have an affordable solution
6:48
Speaker 5: in places is key in order to deciding that I
6:51
Speaker 5: want to go back to work and stay in work.
6:54
Speaker 3: And I think sometimes people may not realize again how
6:58
Speaker 3: expensive childcare is and how much it has gone up. Why,
7:01
Speaker 3: And then maybe you have the answers. Maybe you don't.
7:04
Speaker 3: Why is it the childcare is so expensive? Why has
7:06
Speaker 3: it gone up so much?
7:08
Speaker 5: Childcare is expensive because it's a very person intensive business,
7:14
Speaker 5: right Like, we want our children to be safe, we
7:16
Speaker 5: want them to be taken care of, and that means
7:18
Speaker 5: that the number of adults children for adults is a
7:22
Speaker 5: small ratio. And so those costs plus you know, the
7:26
Speaker 5: facility costs plus sort of the everything that kind of
7:29
Speaker 5: goes into supporting them that is that adds up. And
7:32
Speaker 5: so that's part of why the you know, the costs
7:34
Speaker 5: are sort of where.
7:35
Speaker 3: They are talking to Jason Moss again about Wonder School
7:39
Speaker 3: and the whole childcare thing. He's in West Virginia today.
7:42
Speaker 3: Are you gonna be addressing lawmakers today or in our
7:44
Speaker 3: meetings or I mean, I know you're gonna.
7:46
Speaker 5: Be at the capitol, but to who you're talking to today, Yeah,
7:48
Speaker 5: we're gonna speak to a variety of legislators. I think
7:50
Speaker 5: there's you know, treashure is an issue because of because
7:54
Speaker 5: of childcare, because of the emphasis on the workforce, on
7:57
Speaker 5: economic development. To get sort of real bipartisan support, so
8:00
Speaker 5: we have a series of meetings to kind of talk
8:01
Speaker 5: more about the work that we've been doing over the
8:03
Speaker 5: past year, and how can that work be extended and
8:06
Speaker 5: expanded statewide?
8:08
Speaker 3: And I think that's a very good point that you
8:09
Speaker 3: bring up, Jason, about it being part of economic development.
8:12
Speaker 3: We think of economic development, am I folks that do
8:15
Speaker 3: this for a living, Well, there was a time we
8:17
Speaker 3: thought about we got that had the land, we get
8:19
Speaker 3: to have the infrastructure. That's obviously a big part of it,
8:24
Speaker 3: and the idea for a business. However, the childcare aspect
8:28
Speaker 3: of it is as big as do talk about workforce participation.
8:32
Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons why that many and I'm
8:35
Speaker 3: not an expert in this, but many people say that
8:37
Speaker 3: workforce participation is as low as what it is, and
8:41
Speaker 3: there are several reasons. One of those that people will
8:43
Speaker 3: point to is the fact that we just don't we
8:45
Speaker 3: do not have in the state of West Virginia and
8:46
Speaker 3: perhaps other states as well, we don't have adequate childcare.
8:49
Speaker 5: That's right, that's right, and I mean it's it's the
8:53
Speaker 5: labor force participation rate in West Virginia is unfortunately the
8:56
Speaker 5: lowest in the country. I mean it's fifty four percent.
8:59
Speaker 5: So I think about that almost one of every two
9:01
Speaker 5: people is not actively working. So you can imagine how
9:04
Speaker 5: much that directly impacts the economy. Now if we can,
9:08
Speaker 5: you know, invest in solutions like tri share and you know,
9:12
Speaker 5: we've seen a range of employers from you know, large
9:14
Speaker 5: employers like Thomas Hospitals or you know Dutch Miller Automotive
9:19
Speaker 5: to small one person, five person, ten person shops when
9:23
Speaker 5: they're seeing sort of the benefit of this because they
9:26
Speaker 5: know this is what will keep their employees. Helping to
9:30
Speaker 5: make sure that their employees stay at work and can
9:32
Speaker 5: manage those costs.
9:34
Speaker 3: I want to talk about what those as best you can.
9:37
Speaker 3: I know, I don't want to go to all the
9:38
Speaker 3: details here, but when you set down with one of
9:40
Speaker 3: the businesses that you talked about, is just to any
9:44
Speaker 3: of a muse what do those conversations look like? What
9:46
Speaker 3: do you take from them? What do they take from you?
9:48
Speaker 3: Where do you meet in the middle, Just kind of
9:49
Speaker 3: put me in the boardroom or the meeting room for
9:52
Speaker 3: just Ben or the zoom call or whatever about how
9:53
Speaker 3: those conversations go.
9:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, Typically as employers that have employe with young children,
10:01
Speaker 5: they worry about their ability to retain them that it
10:05
Speaker 5: could they have sort of they're susceptible to kind of
10:07
Speaker 5: a transitional workforce, and they are focused on what kind
10:11
Speaker 5: of benefits can we provide that are going to make
10:13
Speaker 5: our employees more likely to stay here. Well, if we
10:17
Speaker 5: can eliminate one of these big concerns that's in the
10:19
Speaker 5: back of their head, which is how is childcare and
10:22
Speaker 5: how do I afford childcare, that can make the difference.
10:25
Speaker 5: So then the discussion really is like, well, how would
10:27
Speaker 5: we do that and what kind of investment do we
10:29
Speaker 5: need to make? And the reality is the way that
10:31
Speaker 5: this program is structured in the state, an employer can
10:34
Speaker 5: contribute whatever amount they want towards an employee's childcare, and
10:37
Speaker 5: the state is going to put a match towards that.
10:39
Speaker 5: So whether they're contributing, you know, fifty dollars a month,
10:42
Speaker 5: they're contributing five hundred dollars a month, that's up to them.
10:45
Speaker 5: So the employers are aware of the problem. They like
10:49
Speaker 5: sort of the flexibility of the solution, and they like
10:51
Speaker 5: that this is a benefit that they know for every
10:54
Speaker 5: dollar that they put in, it's going to get matched
10:56
Speaker 5: by the state, So they're really leveraging the state's support, right.
11:00
Speaker 3: And this is like through the money that the state
11:03
Speaker 3: puts up. This is through grants, right.
11:04
Speaker 5: This is through the ARC, So the Appuition Regional Commission
11:08
Speaker 5: Power grant.
11:09
Speaker 6: Yep.
11:09
Speaker 3: Okay, And that's I think kind of news to some
11:11
Speaker 3: of these employers, because I mean, I think most employers
11:15
Speaker 3: that's good news. I mean, because I think most of
11:17
Speaker 3: the employers that are are are good stewards, good and
11:21
Speaker 3: good folks in the community. They want to they want
11:23
Speaker 3: to do things, good things. They want to get these
11:26
Speaker 3: workers in these positions.
11:27
Speaker 6: I mean.
11:28
Speaker 3: And we hear about these job announcements. I know, we
11:30
Speaker 3: just had several huge ones in Mason County not far
11:33
Speaker 3: from here, and the first thing it always goes through
11:35
Speaker 3: my mind is, Okay, we're going to hire two thousand people,
11:39
Speaker 3: We're gonna have two hundred whatever. What about the childcare issue?
11:43
Speaker 5: I think I think employers are very aware of you know,
11:48
Speaker 5: they sort of think about this from an ROI perspective, right,
11:50
Speaker 5: which is to say, like, if I have an employee leave,
11:53
Speaker 5: even even sort of a you know, a minimum salary employee,
11:56
Speaker 5: I'm probably looking at spending sort of sixteen seventeen, eighteen
11:59
Speaker 5: thousand dollars in terms of sort of replacement costs to
12:01
Speaker 5: get somebody back if I can invest in something like
12:04
Speaker 5: a cost sharing model where I'm putting I'm putting one
12:06
Speaker 5: thousand dollars towards that employer fifteen hundred dollars a year,
12:10
Speaker 5: and I'm getting leveraged from the state. That's a nine
12:12
Speaker 5: hundred percent ROI. That's the difference between sort of how
12:15
Speaker 5: do I keep people and how do I constantly investing
12:19
Speaker 5: dollars basically to replace people? And I don't want to
12:21
Speaker 5: do that.
12:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when you go to replacing people, you lose
12:23
Speaker 3: time because somebody's got to train that person to come
12:26
Speaker 3: in and there's two or three whatever the job is,
12:28
Speaker 3: two or three weeks that they're just spent training. So
12:30
Speaker 3: you got that that you're dealing with as well.
12:32
Speaker 5: Time, cost, institutional knowledge, all of that.
12:36
Speaker 3: Where can people learn more about the program?
12:38
Speaker 5: If you google West Virginia, try share our landing Patriot
12:42
Speaker 5: will come up. It's very easy for employers to get involved.
12:45
Speaker 5: It's also something that if you're an employee, I encourage
12:48
Speaker 5: you to reach out or speak to your employer because
12:51
Speaker 5: the setup time to get an employer involved is fifteen minutes.

16:11
Speaker 3: So I want to grab him while I cood hardest
16:12
Speaker 3: working man in the building these days. I literally only
16:15
Speaker 3: been here for less than a week because meteorologist Brian Hughes,
16:17
Speaker 3: Hey you doing man, I'm doing good. You know, just
16:19
Speaker 3: watching the watching the weather.
16:22
Speaker 2: You know, it is starting to truly impact commerce in
16:25
Speaker 2: the region.
16:26
Speaker 3: So that's the problem. That's and that's the thing. It's
16:29
Speaker 3: like everybody, as I said the other day, everybody likes
16:31
Speaker 3: a little Oh look it's fluffy snow. You know it's
16:33
Speaker 3: it's two or three inches. We're back to normal. We're
16:36
Speaker 3: not back to normal. You can barely walk anywhere right now.
16:38
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk about restaurant week a little bit
16:40
Speaker 3: later on. So the restaurants haven't even opened. Others are
16:43
Speaker 3: going to try to extend, you know, to next week
16:46
Speaker 3: or I mean some cases get started, you know, for
16:48
Speaker 3: the rest of that week next week. Well, so I
16:49
Speaker 3: thought the Dikets and Gold about that for Buzzfoods last night.
16:52
Speaker 3: I'll talk about that coming up a little bit later on.
16:54
Speaker 3: I just here's what I want from you, because everybody
16:57
Speaker 3: looks at the weather man and they always says, look,
16:59
Speaker 3: I got this going on. I need you to take
17:01
Speaker 3: care of the weather. I got a wedding.
17:02
Speaker 5: I got.
17:02
Speaker 3: Here's what I got. I want to be able to
17:04
Speaker 3: walk without busting my backside. Okay, guess what.
17:07
Speaker 2: I on my rear, I have a huge bruise, and
17:09
Speaker 2: on my shin I've got listen, I suffered.
17:12
Speaker 3: Too, right, That's the thing that's kind of got me
17:14
Speaker 3: with this whole thing. If this would have been, if
17:16
Speaker 3: we would have gotten let's just say last weekend, had
17:18
Speaker 3: we gotten I'll pick an arbitrary number. Let's say we
17:21
Speaker 3: gotten eight inches of snow. If it would have just
17:24
Speaker 3: been snow, it would have been gone by now pretty much.
17:25
Speaker 3: I mean, the man, it's been some of the grass
17:27
Speaker 3: and whatever. We wouldn't have what you have in and
17:29
Speaker 3: out of your hollers right now or your parking lots
17:32
Speaker 3: or whatever, because the snow would have been plowed by now, right.
17:34
Speaker 2: And that's and the issue is, you know, once you
17:37
Speaker 2: get into the sleets and of the freezing rain, you know,
17:40
Speaker 2: unless you are incredibly proactive, like if you got a
17:45
Speaker 2: side by side and you've got the plow on it,
17:47
Speaker 2: you know, if you're taking care of your holler, you
17:49
Speaker 2: had to do that Sunday during the middle of the
17:51
Speaker 2: day to get all that out of there. Yeah, and
17:54
Speaker 2: if you didn't, then everybody is up a creek till August.
17:58
Speaker 3: That's what it seems like, right. So are are all
18:01
Speaker 3: you meteorologists just going to gang up and go after
18:04
Speaker 3: the internet meteorologists or the one to be a meteorologists
18:06
Speaker 3: because it's got to be a little frustrating for you
18:09
Speaker 3: and and your and your colleagues because I've seen just
18:11
Speaker 3: about every one of them from the all the television
18:13
Speaker 3: stations you're in Charlosa and other and other around the
18:15
Speaker 3: region area, I mean all over the country that are like, look,
18:19
Speaker 3: this is this is just calm down a little bit,
18:22
Speaker 3: and and and it's got to be frustrated. Well, you saw.
18:25
Speaker 2: I think the best comment yesterday was was I said,
18:29
Speaker 2: I said, it's like you getting the people who are
18:31
Speaker 2: complaining they want they saw ten to twelve inches, that's
18:34
Speaker 2: what we're going to get. But they never looked at
18:36
Speaker 2: a map that satisfied them after that because the maps
18:39
Speaker 2: we everyone collected, we started bringing numbers down and switching
18:43
Speaker 2: everything up. But we're all saying things, but I you know,
18:45
Speaker 2: I you know, everybody who wants at ten to twelve
18:47
Speaker 2: inches when they see a map that they don't agree
18:49
Speaker 2: with because it wasn't that ten to twelve inches of snow.
18:52
Speaker 3: Then they get mad.
18:53
Speaker 2: Well, then I go, well, that's like you getting in
18:55
Speaker 2: a car, putting on your seat belt and after you
18:57
Speaker 2: stop driving, you're upset that you didn't have around because
19:00
Speaker 2: that's belt supposed to save you. It's we equate it
19:03
Speaker 2: to that. But it's the same time.
19:06
Speaker 6: If you, if.
19:07
Speaker 2: Anyone ever read any posts from meteorologists across the country,
19:13
Speaker 2: those of us who are very responsible and listen.
19:15
Speaker 3: I was very honest in everything that I did.
19:18
Speaker 2: I said, here's what everything says right now, here's what
19:21
Speaker 2: it's also the potential and things are going to change.
19:24
Speaker 2: But we constantly disclaim at ourselves, not disclaimer as in
19:29
Speaker 2: cya sort of disclaimer. It was things are going to change.
19:33
Speaker 2: You have to stay tuned because it is an evolving
19:35
Speaker 2: storm system. People just I'll say this, Men are the
19:40
Speaker 2: ones online that are the most upset women because and
19:45
Speaker 2: I say this, they protect the household, they make sure
19:48
Speaker 2: the kids are okay, They're trying to make sure everybody
19:50
Speaker 2: is prepared. Women are the ones who are like, thank
19:52
Speaker 2: you for keeping us updating.
19:54
Speaker 3: Well, and men are just jerks, all right, exactly, and
19:56
Speaker 3: I am one as well, I can say that.
19:59
Speaker 2: But but more than anything, we prepared everyone for his storm.
20:05
Speaker 3: And we got a storm.
20:06
Speaker 2: Whether you got twelve to eighteen inches of snow or
20:09
Speaker 2: you got all ice and then little snow on top.
20:12
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the gentleman I just talked to is
20:14
Speaker 3: from Westchester and New York and he's in Charleston doing
20:16
Speaker 3: some things at the legislature, and you know, he he said.
20:18
Speaker 1: He had to.
20:19
Speaker 3: I said, well, he's asking how how we did how?
20:21
Speaker 3: And I said, well, let's just it was. You know,
20:23
Speaker 3: we got more ice than anything else, at least here
20:24
Speaker 3: to the Charles and here he had two feet of
20:26
Speaker 3: snow and he's got a hole in his roof, and
20:28
Speaker 3: so he's got real problems right right. And he's in
20:30
Speaker 3: West Virginia when he said when he needs to be
20:32
Speaker 3: back home right and taking care of that, he's taking
20:34
Speaker 3: care of business right now. Okay. So immediately afterwards, Brian,
20:37
Speaker 3: everybody started looking to this big southern storm for this weekend.
20:40
Speaker 3: And on Monday or Tuesday it started. It started people
20:44
Speaker 3: looking ahead. And it always cracks me up with people.
20:48
Speaker 3: And right now, you could say you are any meteorologists
20:51
Speaker 3: could say, Okay, there's a potential one week from the
20:53
Speaker 3: day for snow. Automatically online it becomes how much And
20:57
Speaker 3: I'll pick on my hometown how much is Logan getting
21:00
Speaker 3: how much? And it's a week away, right, you know,
21:03
Speaker 3: And I'm just and I'm not saying there's gonna be
21:04
Speaker 3: a storm next Thursday. I'm just throwing it out there,
21:07
Speaker 3: you know, because that's what everybody, you know, wants. Everybody
21:09
Speaker 3: wants their their particular backyard and whatever.
21:12
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to know how much I'm going to get
21:15
Speaker 2: specific now.
21:16
Speaker 3: And I think, uh that.
21:17
Speaker 2: That uh, that snow squall a couple of nights ago
21:21
Speaker 2: was proof positive that north of that snow squall you
21:24
Speaker 2: had two three inches of snow of the ground. South
21:26
Speaker 2: of soun squall, he had two to three inches of
21:27
Speaker 2: snow of the ground. After that snow squall passed over
21:29
Speaker 2: the Tayes Valley area, uh PoCA, and beyond there was
21:34
Speaker 2: anywhere from four to six inches. You know, so you
21:36
Speaker 2: had you have these you have these disparities that you know,
21:40
Speaker 2: it's just the way the win and literally is the
21:42
Speaker 2: way the wind blows. Yeah, literally literally when you get
21:44
Speaker 2: the stuff like that.
21:45
Speaker 3: All right, So what about this weekend? Okay? So this weekend?
21:49
Speaker 2: Uh?
21:49
Speaker 3: And what am I gonna get? Right?
21:51
Speaker 6: Sorry?
21:51
Speaker 3: And how much am I getting? You're gonna get cold?
21:54
Speaker 3: That's what John get done.
21:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, the national window bottles and and cold elective thought
22:00
Speaker 2: processes for the Charleston area will be a dusting to
22:04
Speaker 2: half an inch, and the further south you go could
22:06
Speaker 2: could be a touch more.
22:07
Speaker 3: Okay, and a dust and a half an inch is
22:09
Speaker 3: what we've had pretty much over night, except for now.
22:12
Speaker 3: Yesterday we put down a little pretty impressive here in Charleston, right,
22:16
Speaker 3: but not so much like in Tays Valley. But here
22:18
Speaker 3: in Charleston we did. But my drive home yesterday was fine.
22:21
Speaker 3: So we should be used to an inch or two
22:23
Speaker 3: of snow or a dusting because we've had it every day,
22:25
Speaker 3: every day overnight except for last.
22:28
Speaker 2: Last night, clear as a bell. Yeah, and that's why
22:30
Speaker 2: tippers is dropped off.
22:31
Speaker 3: And that's also why roads were deceivingly slick this morning,
22:35
Speaker 3: because everybody can see the snow on the roads. But
22:38
Speaker 3: if oh look it's clear.
22:39
Speaker 2: I know, maybe not that frost was growing growing on everything.
22:43
Speaker 2: So charlestonary this week, Yeah, I think we're going to see,
22:46
Speaker 2: you know, anywhere from a light dusting to maybe an inch.
22:49
Speaker 2: The storm system doesn't look to be moving anywhere north
22:52
Speaker 2: at this point now, so you know, we're looking at
22:55
Speaker 2: for instance, you know, and I'll just say comparatively speaking,
22:58
Speaker 2: a Bluefield Princeton could see four or five inches of snow.
23:02
Speaker 2: Beckley could see just a couple of inches of snow.
23:05
Speaker 2: And so so this is a very southern system. But
23:08
Speaker 2: we are looking at North Carolina and the cape there
23:12
Speaker 2: all that could see Myrtle Beach.
23:13
Speaker 3: Everybody's concerned about Myrtle.
23:14
Speaker 2: Mertle Beach could could see could see anywhere from two
23:17
Speaker 2: to four inches. Okay, that's a little less than something
23:19
Speaker 2: I write exactly, and it could be higher than that.
23:21
Speaker 2: It really is the placement of the storm system. But
23:24
Speaker 2: North Carolina is going to get just shellacked. And and
23:27
Speaker 2: that's you know, central to eastern parts of the states,
23:30
Speaker 2: especially the further coast are unith coast.
23:32
Speaker 3: It's higher totals there. Give me, give me some areas
23:34
Speaker 3: of North Carolina, like the coast, like you're talking about
23:36
Speaker 3: Hatteras or something like that. Give me some specific area. Well,
23:38
Speaker 3: I'll go specifically here and not trying to get into
23:41
Speaker 3: the individual communities. Like I criticized people for early I mean,
23:44
Speaker 3: I mean just just general.
23:45
Speaker 2: You know, if you're looking at Fayetteville nine inches, Greenville
23:50
Speaker 2: ten inches, Jacksonville eleven inches, Wilmington eight inches, Virginia Beach,
23:56
Speaker 2: Virginia eleven inches of snow, Charlotte could see five inches
24:01
Speaker 2: or five inches of snow.
24:02
Speaker 3: Ashville only gets three.
24:04
Speaker 2: Johnson City, Tennessee five inches of snow possible there.
24:07
Speaker 3: I loved going.
24:08
Speaker 2: I love driving through Johnson City then down to Ashville.
24:12
Speaker 3: That that drive is, it is, Oh my gosh, Ashville.
24:15
Speaker 3: I spent a week there one night. Feel free to
24:19
Speaker 3: use them all right, right, I know you got to
24:22
Speaker 3: go on with one of the other stations, so I
24:24
Speaker 3: don't want to run you a.
24:25
Speaker 2: Lot, right so, but I but more than anything for us,
24:28
Speaker 2: just know it's cold tonight. We're down to ten Saturday
24:31
Speaker 2: nine and Saturday's high seventeen, okay, and there'll be some
24:35
Speaker 2: like it'd be very by flour. He's often on theur
24:37
Speaker 2: of the day on Friday all day, Friday, almost Saturday
24:40
Speaker 2: all day, and Sunday morning. Next week Tuesday thirty six
24:43
Speaker 2: and Wednesday thirty seven, we're in the sun exactly.
24:47
Speaker 3: We're in the it is. I mean even though it's cold,
24:49
Speaker 3: I mean I have seen some melting so.
24:51
Speaker 2: Right there has been. But I do want to mention
24:53
Speaker 2: one thing. And they're working on the story here at
24:55
Speaker 2: Metro News. The commerce is is we say this commerce
25:00
Speaker 2: just stopping here. The raw goods commerce is stopping as well.
25:03
Speaker 2: Willow Island, the locks and damit Willow Island, which is
25:06
Speaker 2: just up from Parkersburg, just northeast of Marietta. The locks
25:10
Speaker 2: have the gates have closed down. They can't get them
25:13
Speaker 2: to operate because they're so much just frozen in there,
25:16
Speaker 2: and so they're having problems. So no river traffic is
25:20
Speaker 2: happening north or south downd there. And just so you know,
25:22
Speaker 2: like Alloy you get your diesel field the alley area,
25:25
Speaker 2: you use your diesel fill from from up there in
25:27
Speaker 2: the northern Panhandle. The magnolia that both that brings all
25:31
Speaker 2: that in can't get here, so there are going to
25:33
Speaker 2: be some issues slowly.
25:36
Speaker 3: So what I'm hearing from you is everybody should go
25:38
Speaker 3: buy all the bread they can, all the bread and diesel.
25:40
Speaker 3: We're getting bread and diesel. That's the name my third album.
25:43
Speaker 3: By the way, Bread and Diesel. All right, get out
25:45

30:03
Speaker 3: is when you get Brian Hughes in here and you
30:05
Speaker 3: get me in here, I don't know which one of
30:07
Speaker 3: us has add the worst, and it's like boom boom,
30:10
Speaker 3: boom boom. And then when he leaves, he's like, I'm
30:12
Speaker 3: worn out. You know, it's got the only person I
30:15
Speaker 3: can and these two are polar opposites. The only other
30:18
Speaker 3: person I could equate to Brian Hughes is Rob Cornelius,
30:22
Speaker 3: frequent guest, especially on Metronews Midday sometimes Voice of the
30:26
Speaker 3: Ohio University Bobcats and I have Rob in here sometimes,
30:30
Speaker 3: and when Rob leaves the studio, when we talk about politics,
30:32
Speaker 3: we talk about pop culture, I am worn the freak out.
30:35
Speaker 3: When he leaves the studio, we call it Hurricane Rob
30:39
Speaker 3: just roll through. Now we have her own hurricane no
30:41
Speaker 3: pun intended in the form of meteorologist Brian Hughes. Twenty

Speaker 3: pizza and a pizza bowl. Only twenty two ninety nine
30:54
Speaker 3: five you Near's Hustan's Pizza for delivery pick upper dined
30:56
Speaker 3: in a Huston's Pizza dot Com cople text to get
30:58
Speaker 3: to text as going back to your show yesterday, I'm
31:02
Speaker 3: missing school. Georgia has one hundred and eighty five to
31:05
Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety days planned, so there's a buffer
31:08
Speaker 3: for missing days and still getting one eighty n for
31:11
Speaker 3: the students. Sin it's the textual well, you know pretty
31:14
Speaker 3: much the way I understand it in talking to the
31:16
Speaker 3: Putnam County School Superintendent to John Hudson on the show yesterday,
31:20
Speaker 3: and I know it's the same in other counties in
31:21
Speaker 3: West Virginia as well. They're out of snow days traditional
31:25
Speaker 3: snow days. It's non traditional from this point, I meaning
31:29
Speaker 3: people are in the kids in theory are supposed to
31:32
Speaker 3: be linked up to that schoolology thing and doing the
31:35
Speaker 3: thing that they're supposed to be doing in school. I
31:38
Speaker 3: guess my question, as a non parent or non grandparent
31:40
Speaker 3: would be, you remember back when you were in school,
31:44
Speaker 3: and you remember how on certain day you had those
31:47
Speaker 3: certain teachers, and we've all had them that you could
31:51
Speaker 3: always talk into giving you a free day. You know,
31:54
Speaker 3: we don't want to do anything today, can we just
31:57
Speaker 3: can we quote unquote study?
31:58
Speaker 6: Can we do?
31:59
Speaker 3: And sometimes she had those teachers that you could talk
32:01
Speaker 3: into that all right, we're not gonna do it. So
32:03
Speaker 3: I just wonder if that's the way it works with
32:05
Speaker 3: online learning. I mean, I presume it is. Again, I'm
32:09
Speaker 3: totally speaking out of school, no pun intended, because I
32:11
Speaker 3: really don't. I don't know what I'm talking about here,
32:14
Speaker 3: But I'm just thinking, is that the way it works?
32:16
Speaker 3: Maybe a parent or a grandparent or even a kid,
32:19
Speaker 3: because so many kids listening to the radio could could
32:22
Speaker 3: could come in and explain it to me, or a
32:24
Speaker 3: text to Timmy or something like that. I don't know.
32:26
Speaker 3: Bigley Pickli Wiggly Hotline three zero four three four five
32:28
Speaker 3: fifty eight fifty eight. Tony the Taylor text three zero
32:31
Speaker 3: four nine three five five zero zero eight. You know,
32:33
Speaker 3: from time to time here in Charleston, we just get
32:35
Speaker 3: random legislators that roll in because they are because they're
32:39
Speaker 3: in the building doing stuff. But he's on his way
32:41
Speaker 3: to the Capitol right now. He doesn't serve this area,
32:44
Speaker 3: but he serves the state of West Virginia. And because
32:47
Speaker 3: I know the guy, and because we went to high
32:49
Speaker 3: school together, I said I I'd invite him in the studio.
32:52
Speaker 3: It's still to get to David McCormick. Can you doing
32:54
Speaker 3: my friend?
32:55
Speaker 6: Hey, Dave, just I was not expecting to be on
32:57
Speaker 6: there this morning.
32:58
Speaker 3: I stopped say, but here, we are, here you are.
33:01
Speaker 3: I'm not going to keep you long, But I mean
33:03
Speaker 3: I'd like to talk to legislators around. I mean generally
33:06
Speaker 3: speaking on a local show, we talked to folks that
33:08
Speaker 3: serve in Kanaw and Clay and Packham County and so
33:11
Speaker 3: on and so forth. But when you are in the
33:13
Speaker 3: legislature and you serve out of mand County, sir, explain
33:17
Speaker 3: your district.
33:17
Speaker 6: District eighty two, Cheat Lake.
33:20
Speaker 14: So if you go out Ice sixty eight past Morgantown,
33:23
Speaker 14: if you ever been to a w football game from
33:26
Speaker 14: coming from the south, you usually get off on Ice
33:28
Speaker 14: sixty eight and take Exit seven off there to go
33:33
Speaker 14: to the stadium. That that's the edge of my district,
33:37
Speaker 14: so from Exit seven on out to Cheat Lake, And
33:43
Speaker 14: that's the easiest way to describe it.
33:46
Speaker 3: But when you are in you know the legislature, you
33:48
Speaker 3: are serving your district, but you're also serving the needs
33:51
Speaker 3: of the entire state. So yeah, I mean it's your
33:53
Speaker 3: district first, but you're there to do the whole state.
33:55
Speaker 3: What's been keeping you busy in the first like a
33:58
Speaker 3: couple of weeks?
33:59
Speaker 14: Well, personally, the first bill that passed out of the
34:04
Speaker 14: House was part of our Jobs First agenda and it
34:11
Speaker 14: House Built four thousand and seven was an industrial road
34:14
Speaker 14: bill that I sponsored. Basically, it doubles there's a program
34:20
Speaker 14: that's been in place for all twenty some years that
34:25
Speaker 14: municipalities and counties can access a fund that's administered from
34:32
Speaker 14: the DOH to build industrial access roads. So it's an
34:39
Speaker 14: economic development bill. It hadn't been updated since nineteen ninety nine,
34:45
Speaker 14: and it was four hundred thousand dollars that these cities
34:49
Speaker 14: or counties could access.
34:50
Speaker 6: Well, that doesn't get you very far today.
34:52
Speaker 3: Not at all.
34:53
Speaker 14: So we doubled it to eight hundred plus there's a
34:56
Speaker 14: three hundred thousand dollars match, so you could get up
34:58
Speaker 14: to one point a one point four million dollars per
35:03
Speaker 14: UH project out of the funds. And again it's administered
35:07
Speaker 14: by d H. So that that was my bill so
35:11
Speaker 14: important delicate.
35:11
Speaker 6: Well, you know, if you've got a.
35:15
Speaker 14: Industrial site or a a company that's coming and they're
35:19
Speaker 14: gonna buy a plot of land, or maybe it's an
35:22
Speaker 14: existing industrial park that's going to expand and they have
35:26
Speaker 14: to get her you know, pave a road to get
35:28
Speaker 14: to the you know, to the place that's uh an
35:32
Speaker 14: attractive thing for a company coming. If we, if we
35:35
Speaker 14: developer can already do that and have that done uh
35:40
Speaker 14: and it and it helps with PAD ready sites. You
35:42
Speaker 14: know when companies come here, they want to they want
35:44
Speaker 14: pad ready. They won't be ready to go, they don't
35:47
Speaker 14: you know, uh, and that that helps with that. It's uh,
35:51
Speaker 14: it's you know, it's not a sexy bill, but it's something.
35:54
Speaker 3: That doesn't get all sometimes all the attention. And I've
35:57
Speaker 3: got some that do that. I will talk about a
35:59
Speaker 3: little bit later on after, but you're right, and here's
36:02
Speaker 3: I think sometimes I talk to a lot of legislators
36:04
Speaker 3: about this, and again, the media, which is me and others,
36:08
Speaker 3: we are guilty of only focusing Oh my god, did
36:10
Speaker 3: you see what they're talking about? And I'm gonna do
36:12
Speaker 3: that a little bit later on. Just let you know.
36:13
Speaker 6: Don't yell at me.
36:14
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, but but but but sometimes it's
36:18
Speaker 3: the things that get past, aren't quote unquote the sexy stuff, Dave.
36:21
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's things that but it's SEMs that
36:23
Speaker 3: need to be done.
36:24
Speaker 1: That's right.
36:25
Speaker 6: Uh. I'll tell you one. I'm kind of off on
36:29
Speaker 6: a tangent here that I've been working.
36:30
Speaker 3: If you listen to this show, the whole show is
36:32
Speaker 3: off on a tangent.
36:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is much to rename the show.
36:36
Speaker 3: Off off the tangible date with the days. Yeah, go ahead.
36:41
Speaker 14: These vape shops, there's very little regulation, they pay very
36:47
Speaker 14: little taxes.
36:50
Speaker 6: It's a hot topic in the hall.
36:52
Speaker 14: In the hallway, it's it's capital And I'm working on
36:57
Speaker 14: a bill UH with some other UH delegates that there
37:02
Speaker 14: were a bunch of bills out there that addressed various
37:05
Speaker 14: things with these with these vape shops, kratom, taxes, regulation,
37:14
Speaker 14: nobody even knows where the the dagon stuff comes from
37:19
Speaker 14: and what's in it. Half the time there's labels on
37:21
Speaker 14: it that say made in China.
37:23
Speaker 6: That's it. Uh So.
37:28
Speaker 14: It's one of those subjects where, man, if you rip,
37:31
Speaker 14: you start digging into this and it just keeps going
37:35
Speaker 14: and you just like you keep finding stuff out and
37:39
Speaker 14: and and it's it's pretty uh uh it's a pretty
37:43
Speaker 14: heavy lift. So we're trying to put together a bill.
37:48
Speaker 14: It's like, we'll call it an omnibus vape bill, you know,
37:52
Speaker 14: it's just all encompassing, and try to try to weave
37:56
Speaker 14: together some of these individual bills that people, uh are
38:00
Speaker 14: are I have? I've got one, it's a tax bill.
38:04
Speaker 14: So uh, we're gonna we're gonna try to try to
38:08
Speaker 14: get them all together and come up with some way
38:10
Speaker 14: to regulate these these places and get them under control.
38:14
Speaker 6: They're selling to underage.
38:17
Speaker 14: Kids are not supposed to be able, you know, it
38:18
Speaker 14: should be like treated like cigarettes.
38:21
Speaker 3: Well, and I think, and I know a little something
38:23
Speaker 3: about this for some pr work that I had done
38:25
Speaker 3: once before, is that the fact this is what you're
38:28
Speaker 3: talking about here. These are not your this is not
38:31
Speaker 3: your go marts, this is not your ways or little
38:34
Speaker 3: generals or anything like that. These are a lot of
38:37
Speaker 3: and some of the vape shops are doing things, you know,
38:39
Speaker 3: the way they should. Okay, but but there's a lot
38:42
Speaker 3: quite frankly that aren't.
38:43
Speaker 6: There's way more than that.
38:44
Speaker 3: And those people that I just mentioned, those chains, the
38:47
Speaker 3: goal marts, they want this regulated too. They do because
38:51
Speaker 3: it's it's unfair to it's unfair to them.
38:53
Speaker 6: No, it is they do.
38:54
Speaker 14: And and and I'm not gonna disclose too much, too
38:58
Speaker 14: much you don't have yet, but I mean, this is
39:00
Speaker 14: in the works.
39:02
Speaker 6: These places, I'll just I think they're seedy.
39:05
Speaker 14: I think I think you know, you go in there,
39:07
Speaker 14: it's just a creepy lot of times. Uh atmosphere, they're
39:13
Speaker 14: they're preying on kids, underage kids. They these things are
39:18
Speaker 14: they're flavored, and they they got you know, uh, the
39:23
Speaker 14: way they market them that you know, we've got some
39:26
Speaker 14: of them look like cell phones or key fobs or
39:29
Speaker 14: ink pins or whatever.
39:31
Speaker 2: Uh.
39:31
Speaker 3: And it's a big problem in within the school schools.
39:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, these kids are taking them to school.
39:36
Speaker 14: I'm telling you, it's one of these issues that it's
39:39
Speaker 14: one of these issues that when you start digging into it, huh,
39:45
Speaker 14: you you it goes one hundred different directions and there's
39:49
Speaker 14: a lot of stuff going on.
39:50
Speaker 3: We got to get you out of here before John

43:04
Speaker 3: live in. This as a texture tex says. The truth
43:08
Speaker 3: is meteorologist simply messed this. They were right only after
43:11
Speaker 3: the storm arrived. That's what happened. Their forecast was way off,
43:14
Speaker 3: it says a text.
43:15
Speaker 10: Yeah.
43:15
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily agreet that, but I got to move on.
43:17
Speaker 3: But I do appreciate the text Texas, David just saw
43:20
Speaker 3: where West Virginia's lost over ten thousand jobs in the
43:22
Speaker 3: past year. Job participation is at rock bottom. Cold jobs
43:26
Speaker 3: lost over one thousand. People need to know this. An
43:30
Speaker 3: election day is coming texts. Appreciate that, text, says Dave.
43:35
Speaker 3: When I lived in Logan, I got up one morning
43:37
Speaker 3: and the new set of Logan County schools were closed.
43:40
Speaker 3: I looked at the window. There was hardly any snow
43:41
Speaker 3: coming to find out man had thirteen inches of snow. Yeah,
43:45
Speaker 3: me and a Logan County guy, I can tell you,
43:48
Speaker 3: and it's probably not. It's not in common in Canon
43:49
Speaker 3: County when it comes to weather related things. I mean
43:52
Speaker 3: in that particular county that I called home for many,
43:55
Speaker 3: many years. My homeland, we would have major snow in
43:59
Speaker 3: areas like what we call up forty four and be
44:04
Speaker 3: nothing in the city of Logan, a lot of Buffalo
44:06
Speaker 3: creet Man, but nothing in this Kindawa county. Look what
44:08
Speaker 3: we had with the snow squall a couple of weeks
44:10
Speaker 3: ago up in the oak View area, and we had
44:13
Speaker 3: basically nothing in Charleston. It's the weather. She is strange.
44:17
Speaker 3: Lady mentioned earlier about restaurant Week here in Charleston traditionally
44:21
Speaker 3: held the last week of the month of January, not
44:23
Speaker 3: like everything else impacted by the weather. I talked as
44:26
Speaker 3: I mentioned earlier to Dickinson Gould Buzz Foods last night
44:29
Speaker 3: and again this morning to get the latest there. Some
44:32
Speaker 3: restaurants have been able to open and to honor the
44:34
Speaker 3: reservations they had on the books already. Of course, the
44:36
Speaker 3: ones that hadn't opened have contacted the people who did
44:41
Speaker 3: book reservations. Now some of the restaurants have extended their
44:44
Speaker 3: specials on into next week. And if he had a
44:46
Speaker 3: reservational honor, and I'm sure it all depends on that
44:48
Speaker 3: particular restaurant. Of course, best thing that you can do
44:54
Speaker 3: is to obviously, is to contact your favorite restaurant. Really
44:57
Speaker 3: a shame, but it is January. In this January tex says,
45:02
Speaker 3: for the party that's anti government, they sure want to
45:04
Speaker 3: tax and regulate vape shops. You know, dude, since the
45:07
Speaker 3: text are well, I think that there are there are some,
45:11
Speaker 3: and I'm not picking on VP. I don't vape. I've
45:13
Speaker 3: never vaped, and you know, okay, if you do, that's fine.
45:17
Speaker 3: But I think there are. And again, I know a
45:21
Speaker 3: little something about this world, having done some work in
45:24
Speaker 3: the in the PR world in the past with convenience
45:28
Speaker 3: store chains, I can tell you that it's kind of
45:32
Speaker 3: like the wild wild West out there with a lot
45:33
Speaker 3: of these vape shops. And look, people, I think a
45:37
Speaker 3: lot of people like myself who like less government regulation
45:40
Speaker 3: certain things, we still want people to be safe and
45:43
Speaker 3: we want to level playing field. And I say we.
45:46
Speaker 3: I don't own a convenience store, but I'm just say
45:48
Speaker 3: many in that business do, and a lot of these
45:49
Speaker 3: shops don't fall under the same rules as some of
45:52
Speaker 3: the places I mentioned earlier. Your local convenience store, you're
45:55
Speaker 3: locally whether it's locally owned or not. And I think
45:58
Speaker 3: people just want to level playing field, and I applaud
46:00
Speaker 3: the legilator or at least taking a look at it,
46:02
Speaker 3: because you know, everybody thinks because it smells okay, that
46:05
Speaker 3: it's healthy, and in many cases it's not. But Dave

49:37
Speaker 11: get a hoop out in the parking lot.
49:38
Speaker 3: Well not right now, I don't think unless it's going
49:41
Speaker 3: to be sponsored, I will personally shovel the parking lot
49:43
Speaker 3: unless it's going to be sponsored by Morgan and Morgan.
49:46
Speaker 3: With more than twenty million dollars recovered, they believe when
49:48
Speaker 3: you're injured, you deserve more. Morgan and Morgan America's largest
49:51
Speaker 3: injury in law firm. That's why I'm the best there
49:53
Speaker 3: is in the business. By the way, I pull that Hammy,
49:55
Speaker 3: don't hear you onto the legislature real quick, and I'll
49:58
Speaker 3: bring TJ. Meadows in here. We in the media and
50:01
Speaker 3: talked about this with development of Delegate McCormick early. You
50:04
Speaker 3: know how much I despise that term the media, but
50:07
Speaker 3: we're all often accused of making a big deal out
50:09
Speaker 3: of legislation that sometimes is just done for shock value.
50:12
Speaker 3: Maybe shock value might not be the right word, but
50:15
Speaker 3: focusing on more controversial bills and ideas when in fact
50:19
Speaker 3: ninety percent of what's actually getting passed or voted on.
50:23
Speaker 3: As McCormick and I talked about it, just kind of
50:24
Speaker 3: the quote unquote boring stuff, nonpartisan. I get it. But
50:29
Speaker 3: Brad mclhenny's got a story posted at wv Metronews dot
50:32
Speaker 3: com senators arguing over what kind of Bible should be
50:36
Speaker 3: made available to fourth, eighth and tenth grade Social studies
50:39
Speaker 3: classroom center. Bill three eighty eight would make the Aitken
50:42
Speaker 3: Bible available to classrooms for those age levels, with private
50:47
Speaker 3: donations being used to obtain them. Now, this Bible is
50:50
Speaker 3: the first complete English language Bible printed in America. In
50:54
Speaker 3: case you're warnering because I had not heard of it,
50:56
Speaker 3: Senator Amy Nicole Grady, who as I said, will be
50:58
Speaker 3: on the show tomorrow and who is a teacher, is
51:00
Speaker 3: talking about it from a historical perspective. Senator Mike Wolfol
51:04
Speaker 3: Cabull County offered an amendment for the Catholic Bible to
51:08
Speaker 3: be included, and of course Dems are against it. So we
51:12
Speaker 3: got that. And we're also having talking about a bill
51:16
Speaker 3: TJ that would outlaw so called lewd advertising, another one
51:22
Speaker 3: about weather manipulation. I am so glad meadows that we've
51:25
Speaker 3: got everything else taken care of that we can focus
51:28
Speaker 3: on these things.
51:29
Speaker 11: I respectfully disagree when folks say we shouldn't talk about
51:32
Speaker 11: these pieces of legislation. Look, when people show you who
51:35
Speaker 11: they are by what they sponsor, believe them, and you
51:41
Speaker 11: need that information when you step in a voting booth.
51:43
Speaker 11: We can cover multiple things, but I'm sorry, cover all
51:48
Speaker 11: of it. And if politicians don't like that we cover
51:52
Speaker 11: these bills, don't introduce them.
51:55
Speaker 3: They introduce them because it's low hanging fruit and because
51:57
Speaker 3: it gets the base fired up. Well, Washington people know
51:59
Speaker 3: about Yeah, well, I agree.
52:01
Speaker 6: I agree.
52:01
Speaker 3: So where are you on Bible slash lout advertising slash
52:04
Speaker 3: weather manipulation.
52:05
Speaker 11: Oh you left me forty seconds on the AM. I
52:09
Speaker 11: a bad Christian because I read the Amplified Bible or
52:12
Speaker 11: the New Living Translation. Some people got twenty Bibles in
52:15
Speaker 11: my office. Is a king King James is one of them?
52:18
Speaker 3: But should it be in the classroom?
52:20
Speaker 6: No?
52:22
Speaker 3: Oh no, all right?
52:25
Speaker 11: Or if it's in the classroom, you have to have
52:26
Speaker 11: every other text in there too, excluding the Catholic Bible. Yesterday,
52:30
Speaker 11: I'm sorry that that was running into a mac truck.
52:32
Speaker 3: All right, gotta go see you later, so then have
52:34
Speaker 3: fun to love somebody.
