2:16
got to former mayor Danny Jones is my guest? How are you man?
2:21
She looked so good? I mean yeah, I'm and the current mayor,
2:25
Amy good Ones, how are you mayor good? Anything going on in your
2:30
life last couple of days? Nothing? No, I think that people ought
2:31
to know this. I mean she's you've you've lost a lot of weight.
2:37
Yeah, well it's taken me two years forty two pounds. That means just
2:40
kind of stay off. Well, is this is this? No? I
2:45
do CrossFit? So is that Tim? Yeah, it's it's that group.
2:50
It is um which I will just say this and maybe Dave and I will
2:53
you and I've talked about it offline. I think for women, what they've
2:57
always told you, and everybody's like, oh, do a lot of cardio?
3:00
Do running do for me? Personally? For me and women who lose
3:05
muscle masks. You know, as we get older, and I'm getting older,
3:07
I'm fifty two now, is that the older you get, the more
3:10
you're older than I am, daves, I forgot about that, but um
3:15
so I just I lift heavy weights and I do it five days a week.
3:19
And when folks said, well, then I you know, oh,
3:20
you don't say, well, I'm gonna do CrossFit. I don't think it's
3:23
that necessarily. It just is something consistently five days a week period. I
3:28
don't care if you swim and lift, and I don't care if you run
3:30
and lift or if you women have to my age, you have to lift
3:36
weights to lose weight if you need to, if you need to lose weight
3:38
and keep your muscle masks. I go six days a week to natilus,
3:42
and can all say I have a trainer five days a week and we do
3:45
weight. But when you get with me and you said, I've got a
3:47
shoulder that's almost gone, it's rubbing metal to metal, by the way,
3:52
and uh, my cunning my trainer, I she says it important not to
3:59
heavy weights, but the range of motion in other words, because I can't
4:02
lift that much anymore. So yeah, yeah, it's like one out here
4:06
because you know, mayor former Mayor Jones comes in with the with the track
4:11
suit on and the towel and did you come in and you talk about work
4:14
all the time. Yeah, that's my excuse. That's it. That's it
4:16
right there. I like it though it's you know, it's a it's a
4:19
physical but mental gymnastics that you do it really early in the morning. I
4:24
do. I have to go really early in the morning, get it done
4:26
and then because here's why, and you know this as mayor, there's so
4:30
many things. And I apologize in advance. I'm losing my voice here.
4:31
My teenagers love that I'm losing my voice. But um, you have to
4:35
do it in the morning because you have so much to do during the day
4:39
and evenings, evenings or booked. So if so I did that whole thing,
4:42
well I'll do it after work. For me, it never works like
4:46
I was gonna say, when is after work? When? I mean,
4:47
this is what I know. I don't know anything about anything, but I
4:49
know this. Find what you like. I love this. By the way,
4:53
I'm borderline obsessed with it now with the blondes or so, I'm borderline
4:59
obsessed with that now. I love it. I need it now to feel
5:02
better for my body and my brain. I need it u five days a
5:06
week and it makes me it just I just churned better now. I just
5:11
churned better now. So yeah, let's talk some regatta. Yes you can
5:15
see the finish line from here. Let's talk. I mean everything started,
5:17
Let's just take a day better. Let's start with Friday. I mean you
5:20
had to musically had better than as Friday night, but everything else going on
5:24
on Friday. I mean, it was a good opening day. Yeah,
5:26
it was a great opening day. Um, lots of folks down on the
5:29
boulevard, lots of Stern wheelers. We had twenty six Stern wheelers that showed
5:33
up. We had lots of boaters, so a lot of water activity.
5:38
It was hot, it was really hot. Um, but we had we
5:42
had our entire city team. And Mayer knows this and so, but it's
5:45
worth repeating always. You know, I say, as I know he has
5:47
said. Mayor's just one of seven hundred plus employees. Period. That's what
5:51
we are. We are public servants. We work just like streets, refuse,
5:56
traffic, park and rex police fire ms. You're one of many who
6:00
work, But man, are many they kill it. You know, if
6:03
you if you saw what a boulevard look like. And in fairness to folks,
6:08
you know, wins kick up or you put you know, we're at
6:10
a concert, we put down your water bottle. We forget it when we're
6:13
trying to rush out with a big crowd. But it's a you know,
6:15
it's it's it's a mess. I mean, there's a lot to clean up.
6:18
You walk down there in the morning at six am, it looks like
6:21
nothing happened. I had trepidations when she first did this on July fourth weekend,
6:28
and I text her and I told her that, I said, because
6:30
there's worried you're gonna be too hot. Yeah, but I think she was
6:33
right. I mean I think that, um, well, the candid in
6:38
the middle. I don't know if I'm right or not. And this is
6:40
what I said. We've said it on this show, and I think I
6:42
also said this to you. I don't know if it is or not.
6:45
Somebody asked me that last night, they said, are you going to ever
6:47
put it back to Memorial Day? I said, here's what I know about
6:50
this administration. Maybe we would. We never say no, We never say
6:55
oh, this is the way that it is. We're so right first year.
6:58
I'm a big believer in the year of three. Our team is so
7:00
tired of me saying this. I've said it for four four and a half
7:03
years. I believe in the rule of three in anything for your fitness,
7:08
for a new job you have, for a new goal you're trying to get,
7:12
or new programming you're trying to do in your office. The first year
7:15
you try something new, you're you're going to get about a half right.
7:17
You're not going to get it. The second year you fix the mistakes you
7:20
made in your first year, and the third year you can make that determination
7:25
does this work? And so our team knows that the philosophy of this administration
7:30
is give it to three on the third year. Next year, By the
7:33
way, it's gonna be on fourth of July weekend. You know it's going
7:35
to be there next year. I know that for sure, because I want
7:39
to see if the rule of three works. I want to see if we're
7:42
doing it, because it need you need time to make that happen. And
7:46
so the first year was really a test pilot, and I said that.
7:48
I also said this thing, it's never going to be more than four days.
7:50
If I'm mayor, it's just not going to be maybe four and a
7:54
half. If it's a weird weekend and there's a half a fifth day,
7:57
it is never going back under my watch to be this long. In nineteen
8:01
ninety nine they lost ninety some thousand dollars and Jay Goldman gave it to me.
8:07
In two thousand and we made almost the same amount we lost the day
8:13
before, and I reduced it from ten to four. And I think that's
8:16
a good smart It's a good crunching into a weekend and has some real strong
8:20
events. That's right. And one of the things too, Mayors, is
8:24
that people have said about when it used to be around Labor Day. You
8:26
also have to understand that school starts now like August first or something, and
8:31
so it used to be back when I when when I was in school,
8:33
school started the day after Labor Day. Well, public school now starts,
8:37
at least in most counties the middle of August. By the fifteenth to the
8:39
twentieth, kids are back in school again. Yeah, at high school football
8:43
and your dads, you know you're getting your kids ready. You know this
8:46
too. Guess what I'm thinking about, you know during you know, after
8:48
the after the first of August. I'm thinking about backpacking new shoes and getting
8:54
them scheduled. And you know, my boys are in college now, which
8:56
is a whole new ballgame, you know, apartments and buying shower curtain liners,
9:01
stuff like that. But I think people get in that mindset. But
9:05
anyhow, I think that it is. It's working. Um, it's working
9:09
swimmingly. You know that four day the hours. You know, we tweak
9:13
that as well. As a matter of fact, it just called UM Kinder
9:16
from our police department before we got on the show, because I said,
9:18
this is something that maybe asked. No arrests, no no incidents, no
9:24
issues besides people getting overheated. Right then that's going to happen a couple of
9:28
but that's going to happen next Thursday on a random Uh. So we have
9:35
UM distributors who are there who the Regatta Commission buys from. And then what
9:41
we did was we had groups sign up. If you're the you know,
9:45
nonprofit and you've got to you know, your banned group, well they get
9:50
the tips from it. They get the tips from uh those you know,
9:54
coke water beer stands. So we wanted to make sure because we're a nonprofit.
9:58
We're a five oh one, so we do give back. Um.
10:01
But Mayor, I want to talk about Saturday night. Oh my gosh,
10:05
there were a few people on the boulevard. I mean literally, I mean,
10:13
were you at the concert? I remember that. I think the biggest
10:16
night we ever had was eighty three Miami Sound Machine. It was bizarre,
10:26
it was. It was Any idea on a on a gu estimate on the
10:30
number. I mean, I know it's it's it's it's darnire impossible. But
10:33
any idea on an estimate of how many people may have been there Saturday night,
10:35
because I can tell you it's more than I've ever seen. I mean
10:39
more than I've ever seen. And because it's the side street. So you
10:43
see that great long shot right from the top of the Union Building. That's
10:45
what everybody has been passing around. So you see that great shot. But
10:48
but the thing is, you didn't get the levy shot. You know,
10:50
you didn't get everybody that's in the Levy, which holds I don't know,
10:52
a couple of thousand people, and those side streets that's the um you know,
10:58
that's where you pick up a couple of extra thousand people. But it's
11:01
it's more than I've than I've ever seen in my years of being here,
11:05
even in you know, some of the late later regatta days. Um,
11:09
but it's so it's great, right. But I will say this to you
11:11
and the mayor will appreciate this. People said to me that night walking through
11:16
the crowd. Oh, you have to be so excited. Oh my gosh,
11:18
I bet you're just loving it. Here, have a drink of it.
11:22
No, thank you number one. I'm working, but when I have
11:26
that many people out, as you know you did, you get a little
11:28
nervous too, right, I mean, it's not just about somebody getting overheated,
11:31
which we did, but I just I just worry right in and out
11:37
people were fired up. And so when it ended and everybody went home singing
11:43
and dancing and having a good time and restaurant if I get another text from
11:46
a restaurant tour shop owner saying thank you so much. You know we're set
11:50
for the year now, thank you so much. I ran out of food.
11:52
Thank you so much, x y Z. That makes me happy.
11:56
But until that time, when I see the last little, you know,
12:00
people trickle out, that's when I can breathe a sien Now, last night
12:03
may Or, we had some storms that rolled through the area. You know
12:05
that they were predicted. You know, you put Brian Hughes in charge of
12:07
things. He was supposed to take care of that and he didn't. So
12:11
we had some storms cooled in. The gang had to cut the their set
12:13
a little bit short. There was some damage, I understand to the stage.
12:16
Where are we on that now? We are we good for tonight?
12:18
Yeah? No, we are great for tonight. The damage was minimal.
12:22
It was actually mainly to the front of the stage. We had wins.
12:26
You know things you worry about it outdoor revenge. You worry about lightning,
12:28
and you worry about win. We had a pocket of wind that swept up
12:31
pretty quick. Um, but fortunately nobody was hurt. They played for forty
12:39
five minutes. Everybody heard celebration, so you know it overall it was a
12:45
good night. Yes, we had to shut it down a little bit early,
12:48
but that's okay. I mean, that's the worst thing that happens.
12:50
Does we have to you know, cut it short? You know, twenty
12:52
minute program? I'm I'm okay with that. Yeah. I have an old
12:56
cell phone that I used to use here for techs and it was my mayor's
13:01
number, and I took it with me when I left. I got a
13:05
text on it. Were you wearing some fancy heels at the funeral parade?
13:09
Yes? I was, and horns and horns. Somebody's telling me, man,
13:13
you look good and thinking of Danny Jones and said you look good in
13:18
those heels. That and then totally different, and then this morning, this
13:22
morning at the gym, say, why did you shut down the regattass early
13:26
last night? Yeah? Maybe maybe need to give her the phone back?
13:31
Well, I had, you know, did I want to know? Did
13:33
I have to sure? I mean, that's you know, if you're gonna
13:37
one of the TV stations ask me the same thing. Oh, you know,
13:41
big decision. No, it's not a big decision. The answer is
13:43
there's lightning, their high winds shut it down. That's not that's not that's
13:46
not a big decision. Safety first, we don't just say it, we
13:50
actually mean it. Oh, by the way, I have our city employees
13:54
out there. It's my liability and you don't have to worry about giving tickets
13:58
back. I mean, that's the thing. So I stayed and I went
14:01
through each and every because people went underneath the garages. People went down to
14:05
the levee. I went through every garage with my chief of staff, Matthew
14:09
Sutton. We went down to the levey. We went through every single row.
14:13
I said to everybody was left, which there were thousands of people left.
14:16
Thank you for coming. I'm super sorry we had to shut down a
14:20
little bit early. Thank goodness. We heard celebration. Hopefully I'll see you
14:22
tomorrow. They're out of thousands of people and I think he's still in the
14:26
green room. He can testify. No one was upset, No one was
14:31
upset. Thank you so much, no problem. Hey are they going back
14:35
on? Hey they coming back tomorrow. I'm sorry there are. We had
14:37
a text about that. So my asking if they're coming about that. They
14:39
didn't stay here. They got to move on to the next show, go
14:43
on to the next show, which is fine, Which is fine. Plus,
14:45
you know we've got Kate boytech tonight, we've got Joe d Messina and
14:48
you want to talk about two country superstars and you've got a wage in your
14:52
girl atem. Kate's video made its debut at on CMT Friday. Of course
14:58
I had her on the show Friday. They played the video at the Ballpark
15:01
last night. You know, there's a thing about kay boy Tech. Not
15:05
only is she an outstanding performer, she's a really nice person and where she
15:09
from a logan, Okay, I just want to make sure get that in
15:13
there. She big. Oh yeah, she's on her way. Yeah,
15:16
definitely. And Jody Messina I mean the first country music video. Yeah it
15:20
was her first yeah yeah, I mean professional and it was filmed in Charleston.
15:24
I mean her entire video, which is available on my Facebook page.
15:28
The radio. It debuted on CMT and it was all filmed in Charleston.
15:31
It's gorgeous. Our man Tim Morris had a big part in the videos.
15:35
Had just cars in the video. I think so so so we moved.
15:39
So what kind of activities other than the concerts that we got today? Married?
15:41
Yeah she was so. Um we've got the carnival. The kids love
15:45
that. Something that we added to um. We we added some things,
15:50
you know, like the wheelwash and which was really great and that was on
15:54
Friday night before better than ezra h. But something that was important for us
15:58
was to do a fun, free kids down a magic Island because what we
16:02
wanted is to make sure that the littles that I call them grow up with
16:04
the regatta. Listen. I got a ton of stuff for adults to do
16:07
any there's tons of stuff for you and I, but the kids. There
16:11
was nothing to do for the kids. And so I wanted to make sure,
16:15
Yes, the carnival fine but free, Jupiter Jumps, free phone machines,
16:19
free phase painting, free character, you know, getting yourself something to
16:22
eat and drink free, free, free, free, free down at Magic
16:25
Island. That was important to me because I want our kids to feel like
16:30
this is your thing too. Come and look at the boats, have a
16:33
good time. But also, you know, let's not break the bank of
16:36
parents who are working and want to have their kids enjoy the regatta as well.
16:41
So that's going on before the concerts. But we have you know,
16:44
one hundred vendors, sixty of them or food. Oh my gosh, I
16:48
will say this with all my our big fitness talk. I've been really bad
16:52
this week. I'm just gonna go ahead. You get a pass, you
16:55
know, I mean like super super bad yesterday. I mean I ate like
16:59
a toddler. I had slushies, slurpies, I had hot dogs, I
17:03
had are the Bahama Mamas out there it's that what's up. It's the gouss
17:10
mohow that I saw the I saw one of the trailers and I think it
17:14
pork sandwiches, and I mean, I just am eating like I'm going to
17:18
the electric chair. It's just as I'm I'm shoveling it in. And you
17:22
know, people are so sweet because they're like, you're running around, you
17:25
haven't eaten today, and they hand me a plate of food. And you
17:27
will know my personality. I'm not the girl who says, oh, no,
17:30
thank you. I'm like you got a fork an extra spin. Yeah,
17:36
tomorrow, Let's talk about tomorrow because I know you get to get out
17:37
here. Let's talk about tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be wonderful. We've
17:40
got the symphony, We've got fireworks, uh something else that we're doing.
17:44
UM. I want to give a shout out to Martha b McKee, Martha
17:48
who we lost years ago, who used to be the Regatta um director at
17:52
McKey, Bill McKee's late wife, Martha b McKee UM. We have named,
17:59
thanks to Bill and his support in her honor um the Volunteer of the
18:03
Year Award that will be UM that will be announced because we didn't do this
18:07
regatta without our sponsors, and we certainly couldn't do it without our volunteers.
18:11
So we have that presentation between folks, and we've got to some great gospel
18:19
music in the morning. I think Woody Woods is going to be there early
18:22
as well. Give away those awards and again have just a great time on
18:26
the river. Our stern wheelers say to me, as they said to me
18:30
last night, um which I love. I want my space back next year.
18:34
Put me down for this space. As our vendors say, I want,
18:37
I want my space. We did have a text of the show.
18:40
Maybe you can address space, said, and then we'll let you go out
18:42
promise. This is what about the food vendors who paid for prime Boulevard spots
18:47
were forced to move to Capitol Street. Any anything on that, Well,
18:49
I'm not sure people were forced to move to Capitol Street. If somebody wants
18:52
to text me and give me specifics, recall the office. I'm happy to
18:55
talk to you about it. Here's here's the problem with a successful event.
18:59
We ran out of space. Every vendor from last year, every single vendor
19:03
minus one who had a technical issue with their truck or a physical issue with
19:07
their truck wanted the same spot and they wanted to come back. Well,
19:10
if you want me to grow, I could be careful about growing because grows
19:12
sometimes comes with problems. We added so many more and we got in as
19:18
many as we could. But we tried to do like a little vendor market
19:22
down on Capital. I don't know if it works or not. Maybe it
19:26
did, maybe it didn't, Maybe we switch it around. It's something new
19:30
that we tried again. If it worked, we'll do it again. If
19:33
it didn't work, we won't do it again. But we we didn't.
19:36
We tried not to turn any one away, but we had limited vendor space
19:40
because almost every single vendor said I want to be back. And I made
19:45
it a point this year to go to every single vendor and say thank you.
19:48
I appreciate you being here, every single vendor that we have, and
19:52
they all said to me, I want my space back, And I said,
19:55
that's a Jane, that's a Jane thing. Jane handles that. She's
20:00
a superstar. She's a superstar. We couldn't do it without her. But
20:03
you know, kudos kudos to to folks who made and paved the way for
20:08
us to bring this back. And um Mayor it was good being with you.
20:11
This we tell Jane, I said, Lowe, I will do it.
20:15
She's a big fan of yours well. And her mom used to wait
20:18
on me in the pool room. And Jane's a worker. By the way,
20:21
you know there's duo. Oh, I know that there's doers in there.
20:23
Everybody else tell you what you don't have to You don't have to ask
20:26
Jane to do something. She does it. Go ahead, May I was
20:29
trying. I had I closed in July, which really hurt my business.
20:33
But the July where I applied for the grant, she called me back and
20:40
she told me, you didn't pay your taxes. And see I was out,
20:44
I was out of state. This was a private phone call. I'm
20:45
sure she may know. The point is I went right down and paid them.
20:49
But in the old day, see, you don't call me, you
20:52
call the press. Oh no, we don't do that, I know.
20:55
But but see, we want to work with business owner. I thought that
20:59
you were very nice, and she is just wonderful. Her mother told her
21:03
before I was anything to anybody, she said, you better watch it.

24:25
com Former mayor Danny Jones is with us right now. I'll give us a
24:27
couple more memories that you've got from Regatta's past. Well, the huge crowds
24:33
and I think the reason that it started slowing down was first thing. Entertainment
24:41
got very expensive, the sponsors started fleeing, and the crowds got older.
24:48
I mean, and we didn't. I think this mayor hurt key to her
24:52
success. And I tried to do this. It was to predicate everything on
24:57
the youth, and it'll work out for everybody. It's like a church or
25:02
anything else. If you make it about the youth, it'll become about everybody.
25:06
And if you go into a church, you see all gray hair.
25:11
A church ain't gonna be around in a few years, ten and fifteen years.
25:15
But try to make it about the youth, it'll become, and then
25:18
it'll become for people like me. I didn't. I don't. I don't
25:22
go this stuff anymore. But there's a couple in my building, Tim and
25:26
Erica Bailey, and they split their time between here in Atlanta, and they
25:30
sure went out there, and she used to be executive director of the Democrat
25:34
Party and the older I see older people walking down there, So it's it's
25:40
always for the youth. And the second thing I'd say to her, and
25:41
I don't know if she'd listened or not, however long you want to stay
25:45
there, if you want to stay there seven terms. Stay there seven terms,
25:49
but don't stay one term longer than you want to be there. Because
25:52
I did, and the whole last year got got last the longer went on.
26:00
Couldn't wait too it for What was it about that about that last year?
26:02
Because you've talked about that before. What was it about that last term
26:04
of yours? Or maybe that last year or so in office? I was
26:11
well, first thing, the great needle wore and I had gotten back on
26:17
the air, and that's really what I wanted to do. And Plus if
26:19
I had left after my third term, I could have opened a restaurant,
26:22
had the energy to run it. By the time opened the restaur ever in
26:26
Quarrier Street, which wasn't the greatest location, but I'm still glad I did
26:30
it. It was I mean, I was having trouble physically when I was
26:34
opening up. So after three years, I'm just couldn't walk, David,
26:38
and I still can't my left shoulder, which is basically running rubbing metal to
26:44
metal, you know, but my shoulders are very important in the restaurant business.
26:48
Well, bones the bones is the people took the xtray of it said
26:51
there's nothing between the two bones. There was just so I'm gonna try to
26:56
get that done. So talking to a former mayor of Danny owned so I
27:00
five any life is presented apart by Travis Willard. You're Edward Jones financial advisor,
27:03
just off to Day's Valley accelearned how Travis can help you reach your financial
27:07
goals? Is that Edward Jones dot com. We called Travis Willard today three
27:11
or four three nine, seven fifty five fifty three for your Edward Jones Financial
27:15
Advisor Travis Willard, Edward Jones member SIPC. He got several things I want
27:18
to talk to you about Danny. As always, Danny's open to take your
27:19
phone calls and texts. And I guess I call him up where you do?
27:22
Yeah, yeah, because it bothers me. It came out this morning
27:26
and the first time I voted. I voted in nineteen seventy two, Joe
27:32
Biden was it was his first term as Senator and he got elected to He
27:34
really wasn't supposed to win that they had a popular Republican, but he won.
27:38
He worked Hardney won. He was twenty nine years old, and even
27:42
though his politics are not my politics, I've always found him to be a
27:47
likable guy. I think the people in the Senate that served with him liked
27:51
him. But now and I don't want to spend I'd recommend the Republicans quit
27:56
spending all this time on Hunter Biden. But Hunter Biden in Arkansas, he's
28:02
got that that baby, that child that's three or four years old, and
28:07
he wouldn't let the child have the Biden name as part of the settlement.
28:11
And there's no there's no recognition from the family about this baby. And if
28:19
I don't see that baby in the White House before they leave, I'll despise
28:23
Joe, despise him because it's not right. I had. I was in
28:30
a sense similar situation. I did the best I could as long as I
28:33
could, but this is just a little girl, and I was angry about
28:37
it to hurt me. Yeah, So I want to talk about them about
28:42
the Kent Carper situation. Okay, The nine one one tapes have been released
28:47
from the woman who's accusing Commissioner Carper of committeeing that lou dagback in May May
28:51
May fifteenth, His family, through themselves and who spokespersons have said everything was
28:56
a big muster misunderstanding and that the incident was related to his medical condition.
29:00
He continues to recover from heart surgery. They also say he had a stroke.
29:03
There is the issue of an email sent by mister Carper to the girlfriend
29:07
of the police officer allegedly involved in the investigation, asking whom she'd be interested
29:12
in a job the superintendent of the golf area there Big Band mister ben Celano,
29:17
on the show a couple of weeks ago, said that Commissioner Carper,
29:19
nor any other commissioner can offer someone a job like that. It wasn't an
29:25
official he said. He asked her if she'd be interested. Yeah, he
29:27
asked HER's one commissioner. So in essence, what he did was he gave
29:32
him. He gave. He was offering her the sleeves off his vest,
29:36
and if you know, vest don't have sleeves. He didn't have anything together.
29:40
Let me let me do this from the other side. Let me try
29:42
this. I'm not sure this case, however, manifest. I mean,
29:48
first thing, you've got a guy that does have health issues, and of
29:52
course I've had prostate cancer. I don't know what his situation is, but
29:56
guys, certainly, when you get to be seventy years old, you become
30:00
a more frequent traveler. I'm talking about bathroom wise, who knows what he
30:07
was doing down there? So he had it out. So you get the
30:11
woman. First thing, she may not testify. I don't think she knows
30:15
what. She may not have known who she was calling him on. And
30:18
so I've seen some interesting things go on in the courtroom. Really, I've
30:23
seen some great trick shot artists as lawyers. So he asked her, he
30:29
said, so you think you saw him pull it up? Yeah, yeah
30:32
I did. Did you know he has and I don't know that he does.
30:37
Did you know that he's incontinent? And you say, well, no,
30:41
I didn't know. Is it possible? Man? And all you have
30:45
to do is create a little doubt. You don't know what's going to happen
30:48
here. And then if they can get rid of the predicate crime that allegedly
30:53
occurred down at Daniel Bin Park, then the email becomes me less because there's
31:00
no offer of anything to try to bribe somebody. If there was nothing to
31:06
bribe him about. So they can make the first situation go away, they
31:10
can make the second situation go away. I've watched a lot of trials.
31:14
I'm not a lawyer. I've watched a lot of trials and a lot of
31:17
courtrooms as a reporter. I watched the whole Charlie Brown show. Shared Brown's
31:23
brother when he was Attorney general. I watched that whole trial. I've seen
31:27
some lawyers pull some rabbits out of their hats, but there are some mitigating
31:33
factors here and in a courtroom, all you have to do is create doubt.
31:38
And now it could be and this is what you hope will happen,
31:44
that they settle all this. And I've always thought about, if you've got
31:48
bad news, make it all come out at one time, in other words,
31:53
the whole email and the situation down Daniel Park, and make it all
32:00
come out at one time, and you solve it all on one day,
32:04
and then you wash it all out in one news cycle, and you admit
32:07
you made some mistakes. But I said, I hope you remember some of
32:10
the good things I did, like a judicial building over there, and but
32:16
you got you can't let this thing bounce along like a basketball, because then
32:21
it just become news news news, find it becomes what it looks like.
32:23
Is it just one allegation after another at that point or one bad point after
32:29
another when in reality, it's all coming together. We already know that one
32:31
Republican has announced, Chris Walters, he was on the show last week,
32:36
that he's going to run former state senator. He is going to run for
32:38
mister Carper's seat. We don't know what Kent Carper's going to do at this
32:42
point, you care to hazard a guess. I think he may run.
32:46
But now, as a Democrat running this year, running next year, it's
32:52
not going to be easy. Number one. It's a Republican year in a
32:55
Republican state, in a Republican mostly republic Lincoln County. But the Democrats,
33:02
I mean the Republican gonna have a strong top of the ticket. There'll be
33:07
a sweep. Democrats are going to try to figure out reasons to go to
33:09
the polls, and so it's a lot of these races you're going to be
33:13
solved in the primary. And if I was Kent, he didn't seek my
33:19
political vide think a second time before I thought about running, because if he
33:22
can somehow mitigate some of this, and you know, of course Kent loves
33:29
being in the center of things, and I've known him for over fifty years.
33:34
So it's it's gonna be tough for him to step away from all that.
33:37
What you're gonna see, We'll say this, we'll go to break.
33:39
What you're gonna see from a lot of the political consultants, Danny Is,
33:44
they're already, you know, saying though whether you know, the next governor
33:46
said of West Virginia is going to be a Republican. We already know that
33:52
most of the House of Delegates and state Senate seats around the state are going
33:54
to go to Republicans. Are going to have token a competition, but that's
33:59
going to be about our dreams. So so now what they're doing is,
34:01
and the Greg thomas Is of the world, what they're doing is they're focusing
34:06
on things like judicial races and county commissions and things of that nature. Because
34:09
they're already saying that they've got the capital locked up. I think that that's
34:14
probably that's probably good. I never dreamed about to see this in the House.
34:20
It was eighty twenty, but we only had twenty Republicans. Farrell Johnson,
34:23
who was the preacher, who was the preacher of the House, he
34:28
said, if you folks are in the amen corner, we do what we
34:31
want, and you say amen, you know, and and now it's just
34:35
it's ten unbelievable. What you're seeing now is on the county level. And
34:40
I don't have anything to confirm this, and I'll say this and go to
34:44
break. But one particular county last week, I was told, and I'm
34:46
going to talk about it a little bit later on, there's one particular county
34:50
in southern West Virginia, my homeland that the sheriff, the I think it
34:57
was assessor, and the county clerk all in one one day changed their party
35:00
from Democrat to Republican. Now that's what I was told was gonna happen.
35:04
I'm gonna have an update on it later in the week. But in southern
35:07
West Virginia, again where I'm from, when we didn't have enough Republicans to
35:10
be poll workers when I moved back to Logan County in the early nineteen nineties,
35:15
we didn't have enough Republicans to be poll workers. And the people down
35:20
there, you know, it was I was grown up. The big the
35:22
big power down there was Earl Ray Tomlin's dad, and then over in Lincoln
35:28
County, Lloyd Jackson's father, and uh, but this has just changed,
35:32
and we've gotten some good people out of it. But we've lost some good
35:37
people. I mean, I think Lloyd Jackson is the best, the young
35:40
Lloyd Jackson, the one my age. I thought he's best legislator I ever
35:45
saw a lot. It wasn't he. And I'll tell you who else was
35:49
good. Is Steve Williams. He's gonna I think he's gonna run for governors
35:52
a Democrat. Yeah, it is nine forty three. We need to take
35:57
a break. I want to get Danny. We're gonna go to the US
36:00
Supreme Court because I want to get your opinion on a couple decisions from last
36:02
week. You said you're not a lawyer, but you can play one on

38:44
producer today. Former Mayor Dandy Jones is here. Danny, I want to
38:46
get your opinion on a couple of Supreme Court cases. Number one, the
38:51
website case US Supreme Court last week sided with a web designer. This was
38:54
in Colorado who did not want to do a website for a gay wedding.
39:00
The website designer, Lady Bevan even Lori Smith, sued the state of Colorado
39:05
and one she. I think that this started with the wedding cake controversy that
39:12
went to Supreme Court and they threw it out by a technicality. I think
39:15
when people try to make people create stuff that they don't want to create because
39:22
of religious objections, I think you ought to step back. What if it
39:25
had been a Muslim cake shop and you said, well, I want to
39:29
do a gay or a Muslim They said, I'm sorry, man, we
39:32
don't do that. Well, you didn't take them to court. Well,
39:35
there's a big difference, and I agree with you, Danny. There's a
39:37
big difference between refusing to serve the person and refusing to serve a particular service
39:44
that they wanted. Yeah, I know you and are on the same page
39:46
on that. I mean, I mean, and I always give this example.
39:50
In my hometown there were two bakeries and there was one bakery that if
39:53
you wanted to have a like an adult theme cake, people would do somebody
39:58
turns fifty, you know, some sort to sexual thing. The one bakery
40:01
would not do it, but they would send you to the other bakery.
40:04
They would say, you know, we got a lot of Christian ladies here
40:07
that don't like to do that. But we're not refusing to serve you.
40:09
We're just refusing to do that particular Probably we'll sell you a cupcake. Well,
40:14
we're just not going to draw all things on it if there's a cake
40:16
on the shelf, you know, like there is in somebody these delis around
40:20
here. Yeah, but I think that people ought to be respectful, and
40:23
that includes the wedding cake case. The guy didn't want to do it,
40:28
you shouldn't have to know he did not refusing service. He's just refusing to
40:31
do that. Over there on the shelf you can buy and there exactly.
40:35
I agree. He's two little miniature men you can put on top of it.
40:37
But don't ask me to do it because I don't buy that. I'm
40:40
right there with you. The second one, Danny's on student debt. The
40:45
Justice has struck down the President's program, which has gone through a lot of
40:47
delays of courts in the court system, would have allowed the students here um
40:53
they would be eligible to cancel up to twenty thousand dollars in debt. Supreme
40:57
Court and strike it down. They should have first thing, you know,
41:00
the Senate and the House sent him a bill stopping it. Did you know
41:04
that he'd be total And it's not the that was never the intention of the
41:08
Heroes Act. And you can always do anything you want, or would try
41:12
to do anything you want, but we don't have this kind of money anymore.
41:15
People need to start talking to each other. We've got problems in this
41:20
country, and debt is a big one. Thirty two treeing and counting,
41:23
and the nobody talks about it, and any good leader ought to get out
41:30
and say I'm putting three commissions together, and I'll put retired Paul not like
41:35
on. There's a former Senate in Missouri named Jim Tallant, very bright guy.
41:40
He'd be a Republican. And then you could put that woman that was
41:45
Heidi high camp Shed and she would be a good one to put on with
41:51
some academics and with some bankers, and to try to explain to the American
41:54
people from a nonpartisan aspect as the danger of all this. Because when I
42:01
said one time I was here in an opy that the best days are behind
42:05
us. That's why, Yeah, you can't keep doing this. This is
42:09
not a Republican Democrat thing. Because everybody that wants to scream about Donald Trump,
42:14
how much did he add to the national debt? He was the worst.
42:16
He was absolutely the worst. He was. I mean, he's not
42:19
a conservative, but and plus his views on God don't get started in Ukraine.
42:24
I mean, and Biden slow, he's he's like General McClellan. He's
42:29
got a case of slows. You know, that's what Lincoln said about General
42:32
McClellan. And he giving the s sixteens, getting the tanks getting whatever they
42:37
want. And by the way, why don't we try to buy that Russian
42:40
warmonger that turned against Putin. We ought to pay him and let him the
42:45
wagner. All right. Final one I want to ask about is a front
42:49
bit of action. Um, this was kind of a fifty. This wasn't
42:52
the win that conservatives wanted in this because they're still going to be race,
42:59
can still be fat, can still be a factor in college emission, but
43:02
not like it was. But it's going to take some work. In other
43:05
words, you got to explain something. I mean, it's got it's gonna
43:08
be a work of art to be able to do that, and maybe they'll
43:12
find a way around it. Um. I've got very mixed feelings on this
43:17
because, um, I remember when we had two lists to hire Charleston police
43:22
officer because there's no blacks. And I just don't have a good answer for
43:28
this one. In California when they had when they had Affirmative Action, six
43:34
percent, we're black. Now they don't. It's two percent. And I
43:38
don't know what to I just it's very tough. I think college education is
43:44
very overrated, and um, I think that people ought to consider the military.
43:51
I tell young people that every day, have you considered it? And
43:53
now they pay you? I didn't get it was laughable. Plus you can
43:59
pick up courses while you're there. I was taking English one or one on
44:02
Oconnaba and I would have finished it, but I had to go to Vietnam.
44:07
And but you can do that in the service now. Plus you up
44:08
to GI bill. But these loans are responsible, these college loans and the
44:14
free money for college, and these these easy to get loans, they're responsible
44:19
for the jack up and the prices at these colleges. That's that's what driving
44:22
the price. We got to take a break. Phone costs to five Hitty

for Danny says our politicians who flip parties to avoid being voted out truly part
47:47
of the party that they flipped to see like they'd be someone you can't trust.
47:52
I think they're part of the survival party. I think that people want
47:55
to stay there and those jobs that you're talking about are not partisans Stenny.
48:00
I mean, there's no Republican way to be assessor exactly, but there is
48:06
that mindset right now in West Virginia and in other parts of the country.
48:08
And it was this way with Democrats when they were in power too. Would
48:10
people come at and they say, if you've got a D after your name
48:15
right now, you're not going to get elected no matter what. Only one
48:17
Republican to be shriff since in nineteen fifty two, and you're looking at him,
48:22
and I was very proud to being able to maneuver to go outside of
48:25
politics and did he get elected on my own personal basis, And I was
48:30
very proud of that, both as sheriff and as mayor Texas. It turns
48:34
out the whole gay website case was hypothetical. The man named is straight and
48:37
didn't know he was being used in the case. Why is the Supreme Court
48:40
ruling on hypotheticals to look into that? Thirty two Texas thirty two trillion dollars
48:45
in debt. But let's not text the wealthy closed tax loopholes or forbid offshore
48:51
storages of money. There's not enough money, well you unless you start confidence
48:55
skating wealth. And that's the Bernie Sanders way. But what people don't understand
49:00
about capital formation, it's not cash. I mean, you can confiscate half
49:05
of Jeff Beza's Amazon stock, but once you sell it, the price is
49:09
going to go to nothing. And it's just you need to understand about economics.
49:15
But taxes come out of income and property and stuff like that, and
49:20
there's a lot of taxes that we pay. But we can't keep doing this.
49:24
Tex says Dave, great program, great here in mayor Danny on the
49:28
show with you. Please have him back anytime Danny wants on, Danny could
49:30
come on. Tex says people are blaming white people for ruling on affirmative action.
49:36
It was two Asian students who filed the lawsuits against Harvard, and that's
49:40
a matter of perspective. You say, well, how do you feel about
49:43
that, Well, a vis Asian, I'd be Bernie Dagon happy Texas.
49:46
Biden and Pelosi both admitted that he didn't have the constitutional authority to do it.
49:51
Angry people need reminded he is not a king or a dictator. He's
49:54
an employee of the people and all who work on Capitol Hill. All right,
49:59
I want to you and I are both fans of of of journalism on
50:04
television. I mean we watched Meet the Press and all these different shows.
50:07
You told me during the break, you want to tell me a story about
50:08
Donna Brazil. I was on the ABC Sunday, tell me tell me all
50:13
the quick things that I'm in the Atlanta airport and I recognized her. And
50:16
I've read one of her books. It's called Hacks and Why Hillary Clinton Lost,
50:22
and it was very telling and plus her own personal lifestyle. She likes
50:25
drinking Johnny Walker Scotch. I mean, she's she's I'll tell you, she'd
50:30
be fun to hang out with if I was still drinking. She's a man's
50:32
woman, she is, and she she I saw her in the Atlanta airport.
50:38
She's a great, big woman. I mean as tall as I am.
50:40
Now I'm not talking about heavy, but she's tall. She's thick.
50:45
And I went to I walked up to her and I learned just from Governor
50:49
Moore, do you mind if I say love, Well, of course not.
50:52
And I said, well, I'm the mayor of the largest capital city
50:55
in West Virginia, Charleston, and I just see on TV and enjoy your
51:00
commentary. We're not of the same elk politically, but I enjoy your stuff.
51:05
He said. She said, were you She looked at my age.
51:08
Were you having the service? And I said, yes, ma'am, I
51:12
was in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. Well, thank you so much for
51:15
your service. And she was so nice. I can't tell you how kind
51:21
she was. And I'd just she'd just be a fun person to hang out
51:25
with, right, I mean, if we forget that sometimes, Danny,
51:28
I think in this this era of everybody hates everybody, uh, you,
51:32
people can actually get along. I mean they really can rock cuts in real
51:37
quick. Okay, go ahead. He was a Republican. Yeah, and
51:39
when when when Reagan and Nancy got in the White House, he says,
51:44
I think it's terrific. And um, that's a good it's a good thing
51:47
to watch on HBO. But you have to realize he had a very gay
51:52
lifestyle privately. You you told me about that, And there is this documentary
51:55
and my wife and I plan to watch it a holiday weekend. We're gonna
52:00
watch it five any line brought you part about Husbins Pizza by any regular price
