little bit later on the show. Inside the Huddles coming back to Charleston at

2:23
We'll be doing hotline Life from there. Tony c is going to join
2:27
us to talk I'm just happy to be able to talk about football now with
2:30
all everything else that's gone on in the world of universities. And we're going
2:34
to start the show we're talking about problems with the universities. But again Tony's
2:38
coming up. In the second segment, I want to bring in Metro new
2:39
state wide. Correspond to Brad Michaelhuney. Now, Brad, good morning,
2:43
how are you, sir? Hey, I'm I am doing very well.
2:46
How are you I? I'm doing doing well. I'm doing a lot better
2:50
than aldis. And Broadness is right now. We normally talk state government when
2:53
you're on and I guess Brad to a certain extent this morning, this situation
2:58
with ab IS is related to government somewhat at least state. But it's an
3:05
insane story. Lead story you've gotten on the website this morning. Was a
3:07
subject of hobbies commentary. It's pretty much a going out of business sale right
3:12
now for this what was a very prestigious private university here in the state.
3:16
Brad taken from the top on the a b story for those who may not
3:20
be familiar with it, and how did we get here? And what's the
3:23
latest? Well Aldison brought us is private and Baptist and it has been a
3:30
mainstay in the Philippi area, Barbara County for about a decade. It resulted
3:36
from the combination of a couple of different private Baptist institutions Alderson and brought us
3:44
and became Aldison brought us. And you know, when you're talking about rural
3:50
West Virginia communities, small colleges are an asset. They bring students in,
3:57
they bring life to the community. Alderson brought us fielded exciting in competitive sports
4:03
teams the people bought into So you know, it's not easy to replace.
4:09
And I sure don't blame people for continuing as long as I could to fight
4:13
for their college even though it's private. There was an oversight role for the
4:20
Higher Education Policy Commission, which is a state board of members appointed by the
4:26
governor. The oversight role came about because some of West Virginia's private colleges were
4:31
closing abruptly, and legislators and others determined that there was a need to assess
4:39
things like the finances. So this summer there has been this tension over whether
4:46
Alders and Broadest would receive its authorization from the Higher Education Policy Commission. It
4:51
was delayed twice. The HPC finally granted it earlier in July, but with
5:00
caveats, with milestones that Alderson Broadest would have to adhere to providing regular financial
5:08
reports, providing accessibility to the chancellor, providing certainty to the degree possible of
5:17
the ability to transfer for students if things were to collapse, with providing certainty
5:24
that academic records would be preserved. And a few weeks passed and the chancellor
5:30
and the members of the Higher Education Policy Condition concluded yesterday that they didn't get
5:36
the reassurances that they needed. Their worry was that students would show up soon.
5:43
August twenty first was the first day of class. But you know what
5:46
a college campus, students show up early for years or whatever. Many of
5:49
them have jobs and things of that nature. They got mean, you know,
5:51
back going back to my college days, I didn't leave. I didn't
5:55
say I worked when I was a Marshall. Well, go ahead, yeah,
5:59
and I mean there were there were certainly students there in who have been
6:01
there in summer school, who were in maybe year year round graduate programs.
6:08
So the runway was getting short time was of the essence, and the HPC
6:15
with the chancellor's leadership, determined yesterday that it was the finances to them signaled
6:21
too heavy a risk to bring in students under the worry that the finances would
6:29
collapse at mid semester or mid year and that they would be stranded. So
6:34
you know, it's it's a terrible situation. Is it is easier to maintain
6:41
an institution that you've had for one hundred years than to create a new one.
6:46
But it really became a no win situation. There were supporters of Alders
6:53
and abroad US who had held out hope that they could generate more student enrollment
6:59
which would have been more tuition, more room and board, bringing money in
7:01
the door as well as you know, the encouragement of providing more financial support
7:09
from donors and others. But their runway was short too, and unfortunately for
7:14
those folks who made a good faith, good hearted efforts, the Higher Education
7:20
Policy Commission was not convinced in time given the short runway available. And again
7:28
we're talking with Brad Mcalhanty of the situation with Aldsambroddess, and you know,
7:31
it's one thing all I guess we've even seen a WV. I mean,
7:35
there's some problems going on there and other colleges as well, but I mean
7:40
we're talking about things that that you generally take care of in your household,
7:43
Brad, like paying your utilities. They had gotten in rears with with the
7:46
with the city up there on things like they're just basic utilities. Is that
7:51
right? It is? So the biggest source of debt was a twenty seven
7:57
million dollars loan from the United States Department of Agriculture. You know, so
8:03
why agriculture. It's because it was a rural college and the particular loan line
8:07
colleges across America have used as a lifeline, and so that actually was meant
8:13
to be a low interest loan to help Alderson brought us manage its finances provide
8:18
some oxygen, but that they were having a hard time even paying that down.
8:26
Meanwhile, there was trouble with utilities, as you mentioned, fell behind
8:31
by almost seven hundred thousand dollars on the water, the sewer and the electricity
8:39
which was supposed to go on a regular basis to the City of Philippi.
8:43
City of Philippi has its own bills to pay, so the city provided a
8:48
shutoff notice and went forward with an action with the Public Service Commission, which
8:54
was one of the things that tipped this. Alderson brought us, in fairness
8:58
did put together enough money to pay part of a payment plan. First.
9:01
The first payment was sixty seven thousand dollars do yesterday, just a portion of
9:07
it. But you know, they did make again a good faith effort and
9:11
came through with that payment ten o'clock yesterday morning to the city. Don't know
9:16
how they would have done on future payments, but they got that one together.
9:20
But again it was not it was too little, too late. Doctor
9:22
Sarah Armstrong Tucker, who iss Virdinia's Chancellor of Higher Education, Brad had a
9:26
good quote from the meeting yesterday. I actually heard it when I was driving
9:28
in this morning and had to do with these students, as you reference planning
9:33
on coming to campus, you know, here in a few weeks, you
9:35
know, first of August, which is where we are now generally speaking,
9:39
when the kids start to come back to town. And and just imagine,
9:41
as she said, being one of those students, or heaven forbid, being
9:46
an international student, because we do our colleges and West Virginia and other colleges
9:50
do, other states do get a lot of international students. I mean,
9:54
then can you imagine as a kid, you know, telling your parents,
9:56
well, I'll see you in December or maybe next week. I mean,
10:01
I'm not trying to make a line of a situation, but I mean,
10:03
but but I mean, that's that's just the way it is. So I'm
10:05
hearing that to some other schools, brand like Davis and Elkins and wesleyan name
10:11
a couple are opening up their doors for some of these students who may want
10:13
to go. There is that right? That is right? Some of those
10:16
schools put out statements trying to express support, saying well, we'll take you
10:22
because you know, if you had planned to show up and be ready for
10:24
your classes on August twenty first, today is August first, not a lot
10:28
of time to consider your transfer. Yeah. So so some of those nearby
10:33
schools in particular, but also my understanding is West Virginia University is Altius have
10:39
brought us graduate programs too, and that's that's a little bit of a tougher
10:43
fit to find. All right, where am I going to transfer in twenty
10:46
days? That has my graduate program? So WVU is going to help.
10:50
Um, that's my understanding. And you know, these these students, I
10:54
sure hope they get the support they need, but you're gonna have to find
10:58
a place to live. Um, you know, it rolls. Make sure
11:01
your credits are truly going to transfer. I think that some of these West
11:05
Virginia schools and the Higher Education Policy Commission are going to provide as much support
11:09
as they can, as much latitude in leeway those those credits do transfer and
11:16
students can hit the ground running. But it is one of the reasons that's
11:20
happened yesterday is because of what I'm talking about. You know, I mean,
11:24
if if much more time had gone by, that would even be less
11:28
time for these students to make an adjustment. So you know, it's nothing
11:33
is perfect about this. It's it's messy, and your heart goes out to
11:37
the individual students trying to figure out what to do. Now, Yeah,
11:41
you're right. Programming note Sarah Armstrong Tuck or the chancellor for the state and
11:45
the board chairman Drew Payne will be on Hoppy in the first segment of talk
11:48
Line to UM this morning ten of six. So while this is kind of
11:54
I know, taking up all your time here lately, Brad Bitte, what
11:58
else do you are you taking a look at? I don't know. I
12:01
was talking to somebody this morning about the governor sending the troops down to the
12:05
border in Texas. Some people not completely happy about that. What else are
12:09
you watching under the watchful eye of mister mclhenny today, Well, you know,
12:15
so yesterday the Alderson brought us thing was the story that developed all day
12:20
until the decision at three pm. Today, I think, is you know
12:24
what happens next? These students are trying to transfer. Alderson brought us has
12:30
buildings to maintain faculty and staff. Doctor Tucker yesterday said that really Alderson brought
12:37
US was living pay period to pay period, So how do you maintain faculty
12:41
and staff at the university long enough to make sure students are clear and the
12:48
physical properties are okay? So it's it's really still today, a lot of
12:52
focusing on well what next with Alderson brought us. I did not cover it,
12:58
some of our fellow junior radio colleagues did, Mike Nolting of our Morgantown
13:07
location in particular. But Gordegee, president of West Virginia University, got extended
13:13
for a year. His contract now runs into I believe twenty twenty five.
13:18
You know, the interesting thing about that is to be polite, he's age,
13:22
he's seventy nine, and he's now been extended into twenty twenty five.
13:26
But then also the challenges university in Morgantown is facing financially, trying to close
13:35
this year a forty five million dollar gap. The estimate was that coming up
13:39
that forty five million dollar gap could potentially turn into a seventy five million dollar
13:43
gap. At WWU, faculty and staff are worried for their own jobs and
13:48
the extension of the university president finding him some security and consistent president in leadership,
14:01
but has thus come at the very same time others are worried about their
14:05
jobs. Yeah, well, I know, like I said, it's consumed
14:07
a whole lot of your day yesterday, and it sounds like you're going to
14:11
continue on his looking at this and plus the situation with VVU as well,
14:15
and of course we have interims to talk about. You know that you'll be
14:18
watching that as we head into the weekend early next week. Brand is always
14:20
a pleasure. Great job, man, We'll talk soon. Thanks a lot.
14:24

17:33
He's on the phone, Tony CEDI, how are you, my friend,
17:36
Dave? I'm great? How are you nice to be with you? Thank
17:37
you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be here. It's time
17:41
to talk to some Mountain your football and eat some barbecue Thursday night in Charleston,
17:44
Bud. Yes, here we go again. It's the annual event that
17:48
we have put together now for more than a decade, working with the folks
17:52
of the United Way of Central West Virginia, and it's always been a good
17:56
time as kind of is our kickoff to the season, and we call these
18:02
inside the Huddle. I'll do three of these this year. Charleston is first,
18:04
Parkersburg this coming Saturday, and we do that for the Boys and Girls
18:10
Club, and then in a week out to the Martinsburg area and we'll do
18:14
one for the Boys and Girls Club of the Eastern Panhandle. And so it's
18:18
just an opportunity to get together with Mountaineer fans and obviously, David, you
18:22
well know, this has been perhaps not perhaps this has been the most eventful
18:27
offseason that I can recall. And so we'll get into all of that.
18:33
We'll talk about those things. We'll talk to football, we'll talk basketball and
18:36
whatever else the folks want to get into. And this was going to be
18:38
at the ball Toyota Events Center, which is on Patrick Straight. As you
18:41
mentioned, Tony, it's a fundraiser for the United way, big shout out
18:44
to Margaret O'Neal and all the good people there's it's always a great time.
18:48
And as now as we have flipped the calendar over to August first, Tony,
18:52
that means it's football season. I know, Joe Bracado's on on the
18:55
road everywhere right now, covering like fifty five high schools in a day.
18:59
It means it's football season, man, yeah it is. And so yesterday
19:03
it was the first day of high school practice and the Mountaineers, we'll get
19:07
into it starting their first team meeting is today. They're on the field tomorrow.
19:12
And you know, it's a little bit different than it used to be.
19:17
You know, back in the eighties when the players reported back in this
19:22
time of the year, there was always this big question as to what kind
19:26
of physical condition they were in because seventy five percent of them left town during
19:30
the summer. That's all changed and this has become almost year round, and
19:34
so there was constant opportunity throughout the summer for the players, you know,
19:41
to do Now some things based on new NCAA rules where they can go out
19:44
onto the field without a ball, but they can walk through stuff. They
19:47
can have meetings with their coaches during the summer, so when they get into
19:51
it, it's no longer a preseason camp where you have to focus on about
19:55
getting them in shape, and let's getting them in condition they're ready to go,
19:57
and that is something that has kind of changed through the rules of the
20:02
last you know, probably ten to fifteen years. Yeah. Indeed, Tony
20:04
Greedi is with us talking about the upcoming season and also inside the Huddle,
20:08
which is going to be Thursday evening U and a little programming note there.
20:11
Dave Weekly and Coop will be doing the show of their Mental News Hotline show
20:15
live from there on Thursday. You know, Tony, I was in Morgantown
20:19
a couple of days last month for the Joe's Nose Kids Mountain their Legends Golfound.
20:22
I got to hang out with a lot of mountaineer folks from yesterday and
20:26
today as well, and to a person and you kind of alluded to this
20:32
earlier with everything that's happened during the off season, uh, you know,
20:36
with with coach Huggins and then questions about the upcoming season and where were the
20:41
Mountaineers where the experts say that what the Mountaineers are going to do this year,
20:45
things of that nature. The baseball situation, Gordon geed when we intererestanded.
20:48
You know, as I mentioned, it's just got a contract attention.
20:52
This is kind of a way to say, Okay, it's time to talk
20:55
stuff on the field. Get this this other stuff out of the way.
21:00
Yeah, you forgot to mention Conference reaffiliation reorganisation, which is also going Unfortunately
21:06
we're not involved as far as you know where we're going. But I mean
21:08
there's rumblings that after the Big twelve to Colorado last week, that something could
21:14
happen even as soon as you know, very quickly with a PAC twelve television
21:18
contract supposedly for about the four hundredth time is going to be released now,
21:23
and then based on what happens with that, we could see more movement and
21:27
potentially PAC twelve schools and Arizona's being mentioned the most potentially coming along. So
21:34
yeah, there's just a ton to your point, a ton of things that
21:37
have happened in this offseason that have a lot to do with off the field,
21:44
off the court things now you can focus in in football wise. You
21:48
know, this is also you know new area for us collectively as those that
21:53
follow the Mountaineers. I mean, it's the first time I could ever recall
21:56
West Virginia being picked last in a preseason poll. You know, obviously,
22:02
in our days in the Big East, we were always an upper team,
22:06
and even in the Big Twelve, in our very first year in the Big
22:08
Twelve, we were picked second in the preseason poll if you remember, coming
22:12
off the Orange Bowl of victory over Clemson, and so we had a tremendous
22:15
amount of wind behind our sails at that time. And it's been talked about
22:22
a lot, and rightfully so. And Neil Brown addressed it during media day
22:26
down in Dallas, and he said, you know, we're not finishing last.
22:30
And so that, you know, is the setup for this season.
22:33
And Neil knows it more than anyone else that this season has got to produce
22:38
a number of wins and it's got to show athletic director Rend Baker the program
22:45
is stepping forward and isn't either you know, in neutral or stepping backward.
22:49
And so, you know, a huge, huge season for so many different
22:55
reasons. And then obviously you're throwing in there the fact that you're opening up
22:59
against Pence Day on the road on a Saturday night, So there's a ton
23:03
here to get through. You're exactly right, Tony. I know you're really
23:06

24:14
inside the Huddle as a fundraiser for the United Way. Lots of other folks
24:18
helped make this thing possible. And anytime you start doing sponsor list, you
24:22
leave somebody off. But a couple of the ones that come to mind,
24:25
I know United Bank is very involved in this. Our company, the WCHS
24:29
Networking Stations, WWK Television, WV Medicine, Michaels That's New Medicine, Thomas
24:36

24:40
Virginia, Comax, and many many more. So hope to see you there,
24:47
all right, So let me see. Let me I got some text
24:49
here I like this. When Ryan Tex says it's the season. When Dave
24:55
starts referring to football as football, fall must be around the corner. Extra
25:00
kind of brought that to my attention, And I guess I never really really
25:03
I noticed that that I say football and that I don't leave. I don't,
25:07
I don't foot it. I didn't. I didn't realize I did that.
25:10
But the texture brought it out to me last year, and I made
25:12
a conscientious effort not to do that this year, and I think I've already
25:15
screwed that up. So yeah, I do have send to see to pronounce
25:18
this football. It's the you can take the boy out of logan, you
25:22

25:45
seven hundred thousand dollars. Now it's the single biggest settlement against the County
25:52
school Board. In the history of the state of West Virginia, there were
25:56
in all seven lawsuits filed against in this particular situation when Nancy Boggs whatnot,
26:03
and they were filed against Nancy Boggs and the Kana County Board of Education.
26:07
Konong County Commissioner. Ben Selango away from his commissioning duties, if you will,
26:14
was one of the attorneys in the case. I think he did.
26:18
I think I read this when he did. Three of the seven I think,
26:21
and I talked with Ben earlier this morning and offered him the opportunity to
26:26
come on to talk about Understandably, so he declined because well, this is
26:29
not over yet, just kind of like the civil person, there's still more
26:32
of it to go and he didn't want to jeopardize that. But once,
26:33
once it is taken care of, we will have Ben Silango on the show
26:37
to talk about again. You can read the full story at wv metronews dot
26:41

26:42
promos for the show today, I mentioned that to our good friend Chris Withrow
26:47
from the Benny Keaton Shrine was scheduled to join us this morning and Chris joins
26:51
us once a month. I'm not a member of the Shrine Club, but
26:52
I have several friends that are, and I truly believe in the great work
26:56
that the Shrine Club does all over the world, really specifically with the folks
27:00
of Benny KEATAM here in Charleston, and normally have Chris on the first Tuesday
27:06
of the month to talk about this kind of updates with some some things that
27:08
they've They've always got something going on, raising money and doing things for kids
27:11
and whatnot. I got a text from Chris after I left the building yesterday
27:15
that his father and I don't want to share too much information, but I
27:19
understand his father fell ill yesterday and he was trying to take care of that.
27:22
And you know, it was thoughtful enough in that time of a heart
27:27
tragedy or whatever to send me a text and say, hey, I'm not
27:30
going to be there tomorrow, which I appreciate that. But thoughts and prayers
27:33
to Chris Withrow. He's a very good friend. I did not know the
27:37
gentleman at all until I started doing this show, and he and I become
27:41
pretty good friends because of this show and great dude, and I don't have
27:47
a medical update at this point, but I want to send out thoughts and
27:48
prayers to him, will get him back on the schedule just as soon as

31:47
A new New York Times poll about the twenty twenty four election shows the
31:52
race for president, if it comes down to former President Trump and current President
31:56
Joe Biden, that particular race is it dead heats forty three forty three.
32:02
Now, obviously, even with my poor math skills, forty three forty three
32:06
does not equal one hundred. It is interesting to note there are some other
32:09
variables and other numbers being thrown in there. Fourteen percent of those poll declined
32:15
to vote for either candidate. Now, I read that to mean that if
32:21
Biden and Trump are the nominees for their respective parties, those voters simply won't
32:27
vote for president, or if some said they would not vote at all,
32:32
which you know. I mean, I've said this on the show before.
32:37
There was one election that I did not vote for president. I simply could
32:43
not. And for the life of me right now, I don't remember what
32:45
year it was, but I didn't not vote. I just chose not to
32:49
vote for president. And so I think may have been one of the Obama
32:55
McCain and maybe it's Obamaca. I don't I don't remember all the time.
32:58
May but I didn't vote for president for that very reason because I just I
33:02
didn't like either candidate. Now with McCain, I respected the guy, you
33:07
know his I'm not a Donald Trump person that called him a loser. No,
33:10
no, no, it was nothing like that. I just didn't like
33:13
some of his policies as it pertained to coal mining. That was one of
33:16
the reason that I did not. He was not your typical Republican when it
33:20
came to coal mining. God rest his soul. So I didn't. But
33:23
that's what a lot of these people are saying. Fourteen percent are saying that
33:27
they won't vote for either candidate and that they may not even vote at all,
33:30
which twenty twenty four is one of those big old election years, folks.
33:34
If you don't like either candidate, and a lot of people don't don't
33:37
stay home. You know, you still got their races, And I guess
33:42
I learned this from my time and state government. The races that actually matter
33:45
more to your daily life. You know, many of them on the ballot
33:47
next year, your county commissions, your sheriff, your Board of ed you
33:52
know, your house or senates and mayor royal races, things of that nature.
33:55
So so so keep that in mind. But yeah, the percentage of
33:58
them say they're not going to vote for either one. There was a percentage
34:05
that said that they may go third party whatever that looks like, maybe Senator
34:10
Mansion or someone else from the from the No Labels group. And you know,
34:16
I've had a lot of people on the show talking politics. I had
34:20
Steven Allen Adams from Agden Newspapers and does a fantastic job in the show You
34:22
Yesterday. I've had Greg Thomas on the show. I've talked to the Democratic
34:28
Strategist, and everybody seems to agree at this point that it is a foregone
34:35
conclusion that everyone seems to think that Joe Mansion is going to run for president.
34:38
He's told some people from what I've been told he's told some people that
34:44
that's that's what he's looking to do it and he's not gonna win, and
34:46
he knows that. But it's not going to be like getting his butt kicked
34:51
by Jim Justice, which is probably, with all due respects, under Mansion.
34:53
What's going to happen is if he runs, and as I said on
34:59
the show yesterday, opinion only if Joe Mansion runs for Senate and Jim Justice
35:06
is the nominee, Jim Justice wins handily. If Joe Mansion runs for Senate
35:09
and Alex Mooney is the nominee, Alex Mooney wins not as handily as the
35:17
Justice win. But it's the way I see it. I mean, you
35:22
know, if you go back, as we mentioned Stephen and I talked about
35:24
on the show yesterday, if you go back to the year twenty eighteen,
35:30
it was very close. It was very close that you know, Mansion barely
35:37
barely won that over Patrick Morrison. So going back to the Trump and the
35:43
Biden thing, the always important unfavorable category. This is something new in the
35:47
world of polar relatively new, the last in fifteen years where they don't just
35:51
ask people how you're going to vote, they ask you, what do you
35:57
think and what are your feelings? We're all about feelings these days. What
36:00
are your feelings on Donald Trump or your feelings on Joe Biden. Well,
36:05
Trump definitely leads the unfavorable category and it's not even close. Unrelated to this
36:13
poll, President Biden's approval rating is going up. And I was doing some
36:20
reading on its totally separate subject yesterday about the thought process of many Republicans read
36:29
that as Trump supporters. Now, not all Republicans are Trump supporters. I
36:34
know one particularly that's not. But in talking about this, a great number
36:40
of Republicans don't believe any of the bad stuff that's come out against Trump,
36:47
any of it, including the documents issue, including the phone calls that we
36:52
all have heard him making to Georgia. It's not Ai, I mean,
36:58
it's actually Donald Trump making the phone calls, saying asking to find votes.
37:01
Now, whether he was serious about that, it sounded pretty serious to me.
37:05
He's admitted that he took documents, but a great number of Republicans don't
37:10
even believe that he admitted it, or they believe he admitted it, but
37:15
don't believe he did it. He admitted to do it, he had now
37:17
whether he had the right to, whether he didn't, You know, that
37:20
could be argued. But and when you got that kind of a mentality,
37:28
when certain things are being thrown out there and people aren't going to believe it
37:31
no matter what it is, it's kind of a scary place to be in
37:38
in my opinion. Five Aty Live is presented to you in part by your
37:40
hometown baseball team, the Charleston Dirty Birds. Off night last night for the
37:45
Birds, they are on the road tonight in Lancaster. They'll return home to
37:49
go Martin Ballpark on August the eighth to take on Lesington for tickets, gear,
37:52
promotion schedules, and more of his Dirty Birds baseball dot com uh text
37:58
says Donald Trump is a terrible person and quite possibly a criminal. You also
38:02
attempted the stage at coup. People running for office tounting Trump's name, including
38:07
Mike Stewart Editor's note to will be on the show tomorrow, are going to
38:12
look really dumb when history records their deeds and finds they supported a person who
38:16
tried to ruin our republic because he couldn't stand losing that his According to a
38:22
Texter, okay let me let me go back a moment yesterday's show. As
38:32
I said, I did not get to all of the texts on the show
38:36
yesterday. I thought that my my rant that I did on the needle exchange
38:42
program would have listed a lot of texts, and it did. But some
38:47
of the other comments that I got yesterday wasn't about my thoughts of a needle
38:52
exchange at all. Uh. It was. It stemmed from a text that
38:57
I got, and I will try to find that text if I can pull
39:00
it up here. Sometimes we get so many it's kind of hard to go
39:04
back and look at some of them. But it then, because I can't
39:07
pull it up right now, I'm just going to try to paraphrase it.
39:10
No, I think I do have it in The text said, one way
39:15
to continue to keep people out of West Virginia is to continue to vote read.
39:22
It was a text that I received of a text line yesterday, and
39:25
that got just about as many responses as my little rant that I did on
39:30
the proposed needle exchange program in Charleston. Now, as for my commentary about
39:37
the latest needle exchange program that's being talked about for Charleston City Council, we'll
39:43
take it up next week. I gave my opinions on it, and you
39:46
can go back and you can listen cheap plug if you wish to WCHS network
39:52
dot com, go to the websites, go to the social media the Twitter
39:57
or x I guess it's called now or Facebook or whatever the case this may
40:00
be, or mine. I've got my Facebook page, which is Dave Allen
40:04
Radio, and my ex page used to be Twitter or the artist from l
40:07
knows Twitter. It's at Dave a seventy on there, and you can listen
40:12
to the show and listen to yourself. I had somebody text me, a
40:16
friend text me this morning, said, what did you do on this show
40:20
yesterday? I've got to go back and listen. How do I listen to
40:22
it? So I had to tell them exactly how they could go back in
40:25
and listen to it. It was my opinion a little harsh, and if
40:35
you were offended by it, then I apologize. But I want to apologize
40:39
for what I said. I'm only going to apologize if you were offended because
40:45
my goal is not to offend people with this show. I'm the kind of
40:49
a non usually non confrontational, easy going guy. I just kind of like
40:52
the you know, let's everybody kind of get along, but it's something I
40:57
feel very passionate about, and and I put my opinions out there yesterday,
41:01
and we have a disclaimer the top of the show. It says the views
41:04
and opinions may do not necessarily represent those of the staff, management, advertisers,
41:07
so on and so forth. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
41:13
But I believed every word of what I said yesterday, and basically, to
41:17
paraphrase it before we go to break, basically what I said was yesterday,
41:21
I'm one percent against it. I'm talking about needle exchange programs. I do
41:27
realize that they are successful and the science has proven that, which I pointed
41:31
out in that but from a moral standpoint, I just can't go along with
41:36
it. I can't go along with legitimizing criminal activity, which is exactly what
41:42
you are doing with this. Now that'll be up to the city council to
41:45
decide. They had the meeting last week and there were pros and cons.
41:51
Somebody called me out and said, you know, I didn't have all the
41:52
fact Well, I wasn't there, so I was taking it from published reports
41:55
and which I thought, we're pretty accurate. Still do in talking reading several
42:00
published reports, but if if we're taking a poll or combining yeses and nos
42:10
to the show via text, or what I heard from people yesterday when I
42:15
picked up from social media, there was far more favorable comments to what I
42:19
said the negative. And I just appreciate people listening and chiming in and to
42:25
be pretty boring if everyone listened agreed with everything that the host sets. No
42:31
matter who the host is, myself or Hoppy or whoever, you can say
42:37
what you want to about me, but I do allow for all voices to
42:39
be heard on the show. Some people have taken me to task for that
42:45
because every time I have Mike Pushkin on the show, going back to before
42:51
Pushkin was the state Democratic Party chair and he was on on a pretty regular
42:54
bay almost a weekly basis at one point as a delegate, I would have
43:00
people constantly reaching out to me and said, why do you put him on?
43:02
Well, number one, he's a delegate, he represents this area and
43:06
he's pretty well spoken guy. Don't agree with him on everything, he doesn't
43:08
agree with me on everything, but he does pretty good job. I get
43:10
the same thing when I have a Greg Thomas on the air, and there's
43:14
been others like that, you know, so it's a place for all voices.
43:19
It is all right. I got to take a break here. Five

46:37
try to get some of these texts from yesterday and I will. Texas Day
46:39
this was from yesterday. I invite you and anyone who says they don't care
46:43
about addicts and alcoholics to come to Saint John's Episcopal Church any Thursday at eight
46:47
pm any week and get educated on what real people are doing to solve the
46:52
problem. I bet you won't come. Chicken. Are you offering chicken?
46:59
Because I probably will come if there's chicken, but not I think they're calling
47:00
me a chicken. As you sat standing invitation to anyone interested in solving the
47:07
problem. Uh, Texas says yes, and it just had hands clapping.
47:14
This was on my my editorial. If you will On yesterday. Uh,
47:20
Texas, Dave Well said, concerning the needle exchange situation in Charleston. We
47:23
agree with what you said that deciding to take illegal drugs and drinking alcohol as
47:29
a choice. The sad part is the families that try and try to help
47:32
the individuals that don't want to change. Those families suffer a lot. Thanks
47:37
Dave. Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely they do. Let me see,
47:45
Um, Texas, Dave, you bring up a great point regarding AI.
47:50
Is the day coming when such calls as the Trump calls are indistinguishable from real
47:53
and AI. If so, what will we do? You know, Uh,
47:58
this sort of thing is has been thrown out there before. I mean
48:00
if you, I mean way before AI. And Coop's the AI guy,
48:05
not me. Okay, he's fascinated with it. I'm just saying, okay,
48:08
whatever, just really not my thing. However, if you go and
48:13
you dive into this, it can be some pretty And I'm not an alarmist
48:17
or whatever. I have been accused of being an anti tech time at the
48:22
time. But for me, you know, I'd still be caring around a
48:24
flip phone or a bag phone probably right. Do you know what a bag
48:28
phone is? No? He doesn't want a kind of got involve going there
48:35
anyway. All right, let me move on here, Tech says Dave.
48:37
No labels is a no idea, no platform, no position party. They
48:43
say they stand for common sense principles. When ask what this means, they
48:46
say they support what the American people support. That's, you know, and
48:53
I get that. But doesn't every politician say I support what the American people
48:59
do? I mean, isn't that what all politicians say? Good point,
49:01
though, text says, day Florida guy here, everything you said about drug
49:05
uses correct personal responsibilities become a stranger to the truth. Text says, as
49:13
Danny Jones says, in regards to another needle exchange, just follow the money.
49:17
Nothing but a cash grab by the Women's Health Center. According to a
49:22
texture, textres says, Dave, never apologize for expressing your views. I
49:27
didn't. I did not apologize for expressing my views. I apologize if people
49:30
were offended by it, But I don't they give me a show to express
49:36
my views, and trust me, I tend to be on this show a
49:38
lot more interest in other people's views than my own. Text says, I've
49:45
been saying it, and I've been seeing it. Conservative red policies are great
49:50
for West Virginia's natural beauty. Drive out people, make it undesirable for people
49:54
to move to than those who live here and get cleaner rivers and healthier woodlands.
50:00
According to a Texter Texas Dave sending the National Guard to the border was
50:07
absolutely the right thing to do. Once these illegals making a cross, they
50:12
are dropped off all over the country, including our states. Tex says,
50:16
of voting red means keeping all the craziness we're seeing in the rest of our
50:20
country out of our state, then yes, by all means vote read.
50:22
Democrats have completely lost their way. It's comforting to know that my fellow West
50:28
Virginians can see through the b s. Thanks Dave, signed an ex Democrat
50:34
Texas. Dave, Me and you both know that Trump has a massive ego,
50:37
but that ego is the very reason this current demitted administration can't bring him
50:40
down. What do you think would happen if we took every politician and combed
50:45
through everything they've ever done and used the DJ and the hacknews to bring them
50:49
down after seven years of lies and defamation, No wonder he is the way
50:52
he is. It's absolutely repulsive what they have done to this man. His
50:57
personality drives me crazy, but he truly wants what's best for our country.
51:00
We cannot afford for more years of Biden, Dave said, or Texas.
51:07
Dave apologized for the poultry remark, but the offer still stands. Once you
51:12
get people off the needle, the real work begins, and the more community
51:15
supported understanding we can get the better chance they have. Eight o'clock Thursday,
51:20
Saint John's Biscopal Church, hunter Hall. All right, I appreciate all the
51:25
text, and I think I think I managed. Oh no, actually I
51:28
didn't. There's one more here, uh tex says. Here's an interesting question,
51:31
in my opinion, if Joe Mansion is the third party candidate for president
51:37
and goes against Trump and Biden, does he carry West Virginia. He doesn't.
51:43
If he's against Trump, No, no, no, he doesn't beat
51:45
he doesn't beat. He doesn't beat Donald Trump in West Virginia. Nobody beats
51:49
Donald Trump in West Virginia. Biden if and again, I don't know how
51:54
this whole thing is gonna play out. Biden. Yeah, he beats Biden.
51:58
He beats Biden. But it's US Virginia. So there's a whole lot
52:01
more of the population in the bigger cities that like the job Joe Biden is
52:06
doing so all right. Five any Lie has been brought to you by Generations
