US one nineteen at Chatmanville. It's Monday, and you know what that means,
3:00
Monday. We bring a different mayor from somewhere in the region on the
3:02
show to tell us, just to update us someone what's going on there town.
3:06
In this case, it's a village. It's it's Chris Tatum from the
3:09
village of Barbara's Ville. Chris, good morning, how are you? Mayor?
3:13
Dave? Good morning, sir, how are you? I am fine.
3:15
I may have asked you this question before when you were on, because
3:17
I this is I think the second time you've done the same way. How
3:21
exactly is it the barber Barbarasville is a village and not a town or a
3:23
city. You know, I'm not sure. I think it's just the charm.
3:27
I guess I think population wise, we actually meet the definition of being
3:30
a city. But I think I think people just like the like the name.
3:35
It's a small town feel, you know, there's a but there's a
3:38
lot going on here, which we're very fortunate for. There's you know,
3:42
I think it's just the charm. Honestly, and when we're gonna get into
3:45
some of those things that are going on there. I want to talk for
3:47
a moment about this thing about home rule. Now we hear this term.
3:52
I guess it first developed, you know, nice five or ten years.
3:54
So a lot of cities around to say doing this term or doing this thing
3:59
called home rule. Um, exactly what is home rule? Explain it?
4:03
And why has it seemingly been such a success for a lot of towns or
4:08
villages in your case, including Barbersville. Well, home rule allows allows cities
4:13
to collect a one percent sales tax that goes directly directly to their to their
4:16
citytown, village, and uh for for us, you know, we why
4:20
it's been so successful for us is because we are a retail hub and the
4:25
sales the sales tax puts additional revenues into our pocket, but it also contributes
4:30
to quality of life. So that one percent sales tax or all the area
4:34
that we we encapsule barbarsols, city limits and capsules. Also also tasting situation,
4:40
the mall, Tannard Station, Target Center, Merri Creek Farm, our
4:44
shopping venues, and our our city populations around for four thousand people, five
4:49
thousand people. So if we relied on those four or five thousand people to
4:54
you know, take care of our paying our bills, so to speak.
4:57
Then we would have we would have v structure that we don't current we have.
5:00
So it was long we long relied upon business occupation tax and that was
5:06
what the legislature said, here's how you collect your revenue. And then you
5:10
know, those the malls are malls are I would not say a thing of
5:14
the past for us, because our mall continues to flourish. But you know,
5:16
the retail, the retail and restaurant industries changed over the years, and
5:23
your revenues based just solely off of BINGO taxes. As we've not raised our
5:27
bingo tax, so that kind of leveled out. Will the expenses for all
5:31
of our employees, refuse, pick up, first response and all the things
5:34
that cities take care for their residents continue the incline while our BINGO tax is
5:39
kind of leveled out. So we're looking for a creative way to do collect
5:43
additional revenue streams. And this model was used elsewhere around the country, and
5:46
I think that it was something that we all kind of latched onto and sorry,
5:49
we want to leave things better than we found it. This is a
5:51
way to do that and sustainable. And you know, this is not a
5:55
this is not a tax on businesses. It's and it's a minute tax on
6:00
on residents a penny per dollars. So and I'm happy to pay it myself
6:02
to continue the things that we're able to do for our residents. We don't
6:05
have user fees. We do not have a stormwater fee, we don't have
6:09
a refuse to fee. There's not a recycling fee, um. And there's
6:12
not a municipal fee either. Um. So we try to stay in the
6:16
pockets of our residents as much as we can. And you add all those
6:19
things up, I would I would venture to say that for the people living
6:21
here, it's it's far less on the on the penny tax and what's what
6:26
we call home rule, and it would be to add that those five fee
6:29
structures that most other cities have. Yeah, we're talking with the mayor Chris
6:33
Tatum of Barbarsville here on five eighty live, you know, and I'll say
6:38
this about them all that we'll move on to something else. Anybody that thinks
6:40
that malls are a thing of the past. I was at the honey Ta
6:44
Mall. A couple of weeks ago. Uh, it was like I guess
6:47
two weeks ago or we could go Saturday. Man, it was thriving,
6:49
it was bumping just like now. You know, was it what it was
6:53
in you know, nineteen eighty nine? Possibly not. But if the malls
6:59
are dying, I wouldn't know it by looking at the Huntington Mall. I'll
7:00
say that. Yeah, I would agree with that. And we were closely
7:03
with the Cafaro company, who who owns that property. And there's actually some
7:08
announcements coming in the very near future which do nondisclosure agreements. I can't say
7:12
a whole lot, but it will. It will change the face of that
7:15
of that property. There are a couple announcements will change the face of that
7:17
property. And not like you said, it's not nineteen eighty nine when you
7:21
and I were hanging out at the mall, around the phone bank, or
7:25
at the movies or whatnot. But they are busy. But this will whistle
7:28
redefine the face of that mall again. They've they've been so good at doing
7:31
that, and this will redefine the face of that mall again. And it
7:34
will it already is a destination. This will make it more of a destination
7:39
than it is now. Any live is presented in part by Meeks Realty Group.

7:46
Meeks dot us are called three or four or four four zero one one zero
7:49
one. Mari Tatum, I was actually in your town Friday. Not the
7:53
happiest occasions. I had to attend a funeral when I was in a town.
7:57
But I noticed some signs that were up saying keep Barbarasville a village.
8:01
Now, I know you have an election coming up, and when you're up
8:03
for reelection, you hear all kinds of things and see all kinds of sides
8:05
and things of that nature. But what exactly is meant by that to keep
8:09
it a village? I mean, well, I'm not I'm actually really not
8:13
sure because that's not that's not my campaign slogan that I'm using. And I'll
8:18
tell you this, um, we we're building community skyscrapers. You know,
8:22
the fact that the matter is is that thirty years ago, twenty years ago,
8:26
even our storefronts and even even as little as twelve years ago, our
8:30
storefronts in our downtown area were empty we have local people investing local money for
8:35
quality of life things in the village. I mean every business is opened in
8:39
the in what we call our downtown proper and most people say with the malls
8:43
downtown and in bart Mineau when the mall is not downtown on the I was
8:46
I was downtown Friday. That's that's an actual downtown area. Yeah, so
8:50
you've got we've got walking traveling now and all those businesses that are on those
8:52
and those storefronts and the ones that are opening up now are local people investing
8:56
local money for quality of life for our residents. So, like I said,
9:00
we're not building skyscrapers, we're building community and we're given you know,
9:03
they're walking traffic downtown. And this is not anything that's any different than what
9:07
Barbarisil realized. You know, fifty years ago you had Brady Hardware, there's
9:11
an appliance store. I mean, you had the the same what you would
9:13
call Americana downtown that everyone that everyone kind of gravitated towards. Then we're just
9:18
we're rebuilding that and we're when we have people that want to be a part
9:22
of that, we want to do that. So you know, I don't
9:24
I don't think there anybody has a desire to go away from from the being
9:28
the village um and that's not my desire. You know, like I said,
9:33
we're we're building community and not skyscrapers. So these quality of life places
9:37
that are moving in and you know, we're not building dive bars and hunting.
9:41
You know, these these people are not investing in dive bars. These
9:43
these are nice places to go, sit, have a meal with your family,
9:46
sit, have a drink with your friends, um and and the downtown
9:50
areas become reinvigorated. So I don't I don't know the answer that question.
9:54
I can just say this, Barbara Zil has always been Barbarisila will always be
9:56
Barbara Zila, and our sense of community is I would say. Matched talking
10:01
to Christatum again, the mayor of Barbarsville here on mayor Monday, it's nine
10:03
seventeen. I want to talk for a moment Mayor about business and recreational development
10:07
in town, but specifically I want to get to the business of travel sports.
10:13
You're a town is one, if any that's reaped the benefits of travel
10:16
sports. We talk about this all the time. You know, I don't
10:20
have kids, but I know my friends that did well at my age.
10:22
Now they all have grandkids, you know, they're grandparents now. But the
10:26
huge business that is travel sports, and I know Barbersville has really been reap
10:31
into benefits of this and it's only going to get bigger. Well, and
10:35
you know, we've been doing this for a while since before I was a
10:37
mayor. The USU Soccer organization became interested in the property that we had and
10:43
because of the ability to host a tournament in a single location. And now
10:46
they've grown and as you know, we we wek co op I guess or
10:52
or work with Shawnee when those tournaments come to town because they've grown so big.
10:56
But youth sports tourism is a multi billion dollar industry and we've started capturing
11:01
at as it kind of hit hit the upswing, you know with USU Soccer,
11:05
and we knew that to continue those tourism dollars rolling in, we needed
11:09
to not keep up with the joneses, if you will, but to keep
11:13
you know, to keep up with the times and have facilities that kept these
11:16
teams and tournaments and organizations wanting to come back here. And we and we've
11:20
done that. We've invested four million dollars in a in a multi use sports
11:24
complex that has synthetic turf, concession stands, restrooms, press box. I
11:31
mean, everything that you would need to host a large scale tournament is right
11:33
there in barsl Park. And that seven almost eight hundred acres of ground that
11:37
we've taken a small portion of and dedicated specifically to use sports tourism. And
11:41
that also gives our little league football a home. It gives our little league
11:46
use of baseball and softball places to practice. And you know, we understand
11:50
what type of remedy you glean from that you get twenty you know, the
11:54
big tournament that comes between here and the Kanal Valley puts twenty two million dollars
11:58
in the local economy, and we want our fair share of that. And
12:01
we having in our fair share of that when we realize how important it is
12:03
for our revenue to keep doing the things that we do for our residence and
12:07
that's what helps us pay our bills. So that if that be the diet's
12:11
cast that keeps us churning and keeps people coming to town and keeps people in
12:15
our restaurants, hotels and surrounding businesses, then we want to get a part
12:18
of that. And you know it always um, I always have laugh laugh
12:22
a little bit when they talk about these sports storism things. I know we
12:24
have one that's on the table here in Charles. There's a lot of questions
12:26
to be answered about the sports facility in Charleston, and I get that.
12:31
But people say, well, why exactly do we need this or why do
12:33
we need to have more hotels? This is why you're talking about twenty two
12:37
million dollars in the local economy. That comes in when you have just just
12:41
pick any of these tournaments, may or just any of them off the top
12:45
of your head. How many people are we talking That comes in for well,
12:48
for one of these soccer tournaments, for example, I mean the for
12:50
the USU soccer tournament. I mean you're talking about eight ten thousand kids and
12:54
their families between here and Charleston. I mean, that's a big deal.
12:58
And the larger ones have more more people than that. I mean, and
13:01
that's I think that's coles come numbers. But anyway, long story short,
13:03
you're putting thousands of people in your area, thousands of people that are going
13:07
to spend money in your restaurants. They're going to spend money in your in
13:11
your malls and in your retail outlet. Then you know where the in your
13:13
hotels. So yeah, I means visitors are super important. I mean we
13:18
like to roll out the red carpet when when those tournaments come to town.
13:22
And when I say that, I mean everything from the people at Rotary,
13:24
Lions Clubs and everyone else who volunteers to park cars, who volunteers are running
13:28
water for officials and all that. We want them to come back and keep
13:31
spending their money here because we liked we like to show our town off.
13:35
We also liked it. We also like to have a very nice town in
13:39
a very safe town, and that's one of the things that we pride ourselves
13:41
on. So absolutely we're gonna keep We're gonna keep trying to attract those people.
13:46
Mayor, it's always pleasure to talk to you. Keep the village churning
13:50
there in the in Cabol County. May Or Christatum Barbar's will I appreciate you

life depends on cold jobs, fossil fuel jobs that help drive our economy,
14:52
but the purpose of the climate provisions and President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act supported
14:58
by Senator Joe mentioned was as written in the Wall Street Journal, to drive
15:01
coal plants out of business. What does that mean? Senator Mansions deciding vote
15:07
for Biden's law could cost West Virginia one hundred thousand jobs. And what did
15:13
Senator Mansion get after signing the bill? Joe Biden literally handed Senator Mansion the
15:18
pen. Tell Senator Mansion to stop writing off West Virginia jobs and backing Biden's

liberal climate policy. Repeal the Inflation Reduction Act. I guarantee you. I

18:00
are you miles outside Charleston, But because I have a Charleston zip code
18:03
to have to pay city tax, I'm all my online orders. Welcome to
18:07
the show, Chris Rose, Republican candidate for US Senate. Good morning,
18:10
sir, How are you. Good morning, Dave. I'm doing well.
18:12
How are you, sir? Thank you for being on the show. I'm
18:15
doing well. And you've been on the show before, so welcome back.
18:18
And I know that since last time we had you on, Congressman Alex Mooney
18:22
and Governor Jim Justice have made a deficial that they are in the race,
18:26
but it seems that no one's talking about Chris Rose. And but do you
18:30
want to let what people know that you are in this thing? Man?
18:33
Yeah, absolutely so. As a first time you candidate and the political outsider,
18:37
you do have that lack of name recognition that you do have to overcome.
18:40
And when people do learn about us, we actually do quite well with
18:42
them. You know, a lot of people like the fact that I'm a
18:45
fourth generation West Virginia coal minor, political outsider, not a career politician.
18:48
I didn't flit political parties for self political gain, nor did I move three
18:52
to four states away shopping for a higher office. And you know, the
18:56
lifelong West Virginia and the blue car are conservative really resonates with those that know.
19:00
But you're is absolutely right. We have a huge lack of name recognition
19:03
that we're trying to overcome. And actually you're on the news organization's pole that
19:07
was actually pointing out to me. In the pockets where we're known, we
19:10
do quite well. We're actually winning one of your polls right now. It
19:11
was fifty one the vote and almost thirteen hundred people are in that. Hopefully
19:15
it's a thing as signs that come statewide. But we know, like I
19:18
said, the pockets that we're known, we're doing very well, and that's
19:21
why we started so early to get our name out there. You know,
19:23
I was listening to a talk line last week with Dave Wilson. He's in
19:26
for Hoppy last week and also this week as well. Hoppy's on vacation,
19:30
and I think it was maybe Thursday, maybe it was, I'm not really
19:33
sure, but I was traveling I was listening to it. He was doing
19:36
a bit of an informal survey asking people who they were supporting for that Senate
19:41
race Governor Justice, Congressman Mooney on one side, or Senator Joe Manchon if
19:45
he runs on the other side. There was a lot of people that said
19:48
that called up. Now, it could have been orchestrated. Maybe it wasn't,
19:51
I don't know, but there were a lot of people that called or
19:52
texted on Dave's show or on Hoppy show that Dave was hosting last week,
19:57
getting your name out there, and I appreciate that, and then they definitely
20:02
wasn't orgestrated on my end. But I just think there's a lot of conservatives
20:04
that you know, they're not happy with the two mainstream named choices they have,
20:08
and you know, once they learn about us, they're pretty committed to
20:11
helping get in selected. And I appreciate their enthusiasm, passion, and support,
20:15
and we need to continue to get that out there because it'll be honest
20:18
with you, there is baggage of both of the two considered front runners,
20:22
and you could argue that either one of them early fit for Washington. They
20:25
both have conflict of interest. Jim Justice was over three hundred and thirty million,
20:29
and unsettled debts and lawsuits are impending and piling up on him daily and
20:33
you know, we all know that. And while he just did a tax
20:34
cut, before he was four tax cuts, he was for the largest tax
20:37
increase. We also know he shut down our state and there's a lot of
20:40
other controversial stuff about him. And then you look at Alex Mooney, who
20:42
is under two investigations of campaign finance fraud. He took FCX contributions from Ukraine.
20:48
And when people learn these things about the two the right was there another
20:51
conservative in the race? And that's the key thing. We have to let
20:52
people know that there is a lifelong West Virginian and conservative in this race does
20:57
not have the baggage of the other two. Give us some of your background.
21:00
I mean, you mentioned that you're a coal miner. Give us your
21:03
your hometown and why you decided to get into this. But but give us
21:06
the quick BUYO one Chris Rose. Okay, Well, um, like you
21:08
said, I'm a fourth generation coal miner, was born in mcdell County,
21:11
and and they grew up in the unincorporated town of Joel. It's Jolo and
21:17
it was affected deeply by the War on Coal and the warrant American energy.
21:19
I've lifted firsthand and my family was experienced it, and I see the representation
21:23
in Washington has done very little to fight back against that. Our representation should
21:27
be fighting tooth and nail for our coal jobs. And you see people like
21:30
Joe Manchin, who was one of the authors of the Inflation Expansion Act,
21:34
and now that he's having buyer's remorse and now that it's election season, he's
21:37
trying to flip flop. Well, you know, I've lifted that Warren cale.
21:41
I've had to move several times, keep my family and you fed and
21:44
stay employed. And you know, no one can fight better for our West
21:47
Virginia jobs. And someone who's lived through that warran American Energy and truly knows
21:51
how it impacts West Virginians. A little bit more about myself. I was
21:53
a Tea Party member. I was the founding member and the first chair of
21:56
the Blue Flow State College Republicans. I've helped other candidates get elected throughout the
22:00
state and you know, legislative races. The first time I put my own
22:03
name on the ballot. And also I volunteered for President Trump twenty sixteen to
22:08
twenty twenty. And I can tell you this right now, I'm not gonna
22:11
take all the credit, but I was part of the grassroots movement that flipped
22:15
our state from blue to red after eighty four straight years of Democrat party control.
22:18
And I'm now ready to take that same determination, passion, and grit
22:22
for our state and apply it to Washington, because we need that true voice
22:26
and a true certifire brand that our state keeps voting for and keeps not getting
22:30
talking with Chris Rose again as a Republican candidate for US Senate. Here on
22:33
to five eighty Live. Five eighty Live brought to you part by the Charleston
22:37
Dirty Birds, your hometown baseball team up any nights for the Birds tomorrow night,
22:40
and of course on the show tomorrow, we'll have a manager, Billy
22:42
Horn, maybe some players. Eating Douglas and the crew from the Dirty Birds
22:45
will be in studio with us tomorrow. I need more information about them,
22:48
check out the social media visit dirty Bridge baseball dot com. Do you think
22:52
that Senator Mansion will run for reelection Chris Well, that's definitely the million dollar
22:56
question. I don't think he will. Actually, I think I was to
23:00
place my bets on it. I think he's gonna run for governor, because
23:03
really, let's be on it. Yeah, I do, because I tell
23:04
you why, Because if you look at a lot of the polling, a
23:07
lot of people like don't think they want Joe Manson back in Washington anymore.
23:11
They're tired of Washington Joe, and a lot of the concerns that they have
23:15
with him the necessarily the polling data suggest they kind of lose it when he
23:18
runs for a statewide office where he stays in Charleston. A lot of people
23:21
like Joe Menation as far as the person, not so much the politics,
23:23
but the person. Joe is a likable person if you meet him in person.
23:27
And I think that if he did run for governor, he'd be a
23:30
formidable challenge for whoever wins the Republican primary. Now is that being said,
23:36
He's not going to win the race for US Senate. There's gonna be so
23:38
much money come in this race against him. For whoever the Republican primary winner
23:41
is. It's gonna be a little different in twenty eighteen. You know,
23:45
the demographics has changed. There's two hundred and twenty thousand new Republican wrestaurant voters.
23:48
It's a presidential year unlike last time, and President Trump will be on
23:52
the ticket, and whoever he endorses will get a lot of extra support compared
23:56
to twenty eighteen. And I just don't think Manson can win that again.
23:59
And I think that that's why it's not announced. It's it's interesting that you
24:02
mentioned that, because, I mean, I started hearing rumors a couple of
24:04
years ago, Chris that Senator Mansion was not going to run for reelection,
24:07
he was going to come back and run for governor. And then those those
24:11
rumors, I guess just kind of died down, but I'm starting to hear
24:15
that again. I mean, and let's face it, whoever is I mean,
24:18
I don't know who the Democrats are going to put up there to run.
24:22
And I know you're not here to talk about the governors race. You're
24:23
talking about your race, but I do want to put this, get this
24:26
in there. I don't know who the Democrats are going to put up there.
24:27
I've heard that Honey Ta mayor Steve Williams may be their candidate. We've
24:30
heard some other names like you know, possibly been Silango Kanackandy commissioner that ran
24:34
last time. But it is interesting, and I've heard those rumors too that
24:40
a lot of people think that maybe Hey, Joeys changed his mind. He's
24:41
gonna and he's gonna come back and run for governor. Who knows. Let's
24:45
get back to your race. Uh, you're you know, you're a smart
24:48
guy, Chris, obviously, and so you know it's going to be more
24:53
than an uphill climb to get you to where you want to be in twenty
24:56
twenty four. Oh you know, anyone who would interest race in my position
25:02
and doesn't think that the lack of name recognition or lack of funds compared to
25:04
the other two is not enough hill of battles. They're kidding themselves. I
25:07
mean, you just can't walk into this thing and say, hey me and
25:10
that's enough. Now you're gonna for us to counteract their money and their name
25:14
recognition, we have to have the strongest ground game, and I mean by
25:17
far. And that's one thing we have been working on. We have over
25:18
three hundred volunteers. Y're working with us statewide. They're already doing door knocking
25:22
and I'm doing it with them, and we know we're taking it to the
25:25
voter. We're sitting on the front porch with them, We're sending up their
25:27
dinner table with them and asking them voting for these career politicians and these as
25:30
stassment candidates. How's that worked out for West Virginia the last enterred years.
25:34
You know, how would you like to have one of your own, someone
25:37
from the working class have to give us a seated table with Washington, and
25:40
that does very well. We just gotta continue to do that and also expand
25:42
our ground game because we're not going to have the money of the other ones.
25:45
We're being out spent ten thousand to one. Necessary reality, But as
25:48
long as we continue to work, we're hard on our ground game and get
25:52
our message out, we do have a puncher's chance. But we also know
25:55
it is an uphill battle. But West Virginia is worth that fight. So
25:59
you know, this idle on the Republican side, as I mentioned before,
26:02
between Congressman Mooney and Jim Justice, is going to be nasty and already.
26:06
I mean, you know, the governor made his official announce but everybody knew
26:07
it was coming a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday night. I got
26:11
up the next morning, got a couple of coffee, flipped on the television,
26:14
and I see an Alex Mooney commercial at like five fifteen in the morning,
26:17
they already had it in the can and already ready to go. You
26:21
know, I was talking to somebody yesterday that said that they were just so
26:26
tired of politics right now. And this is going to be make no mistake
26:30
about it. We're only Chris in May of twenty twenty three. We're a
26:33
year away from the primary, and this state is going to be flooded with
26:38
info. I mean, when things coming in pro Alex Mooney, anti Alex
26:42
Mooney, pro Governor Justice anti jo you very well could be the guy just
26:47
kind of setting on the sidelines with the popcorn, saying, let the chips
26:49
fall where they may. Yeah, absolutely, let them, let them throw
26:52
them mud at each other. Because West Virginians. I meanwhile, I mentioned
26:56
a few things that are wrong with them. Also, I want to talk
26:57
about the solutions. You know, West Virginians don't want to hear all this
27:00
campaign MUDs being sling back and forth. They want to hear, Okay,
27:03
well what are you going to do for me to get elected? And that's
27:06
what we try to. You know, ninety nine percent of the times they
27:07
met just on you know, when someone asked me what separates me from Moony
27:11
and Justice, I'll definitely be more happy to answer that. I'm more interested
27:14
in what can Chris Rose do see houth West Virginia more so than getting into
27:18
that little political phrase. They're going to let them spend their millions of dollars
27:21
throwing that dirt at each other. I'll continue to go around a state and
27:23
work hard, shrek convince West Virginians, and I'm ready to go to Washington
27:27
fight for them. And you know what, that positive message and that positive
27:32
vision resonates so much better than the negative attack adds to those who are wasting
27:34
millions of dollars on What are some of those things if you are elected,
27:37
Chris, when you get to watch it, to give us an example of
27:41
a couple of things that are going to be on your agenda for in the
27:44
first thirty days or so. Well, obviously, the push to repel the
27:48
Inflation Expansion Act, to get those production taxes that we're added on calling gas
27:52
back off of them, and to expand federal leases on the federal ground and
27:56
get some energy production back out so we can get our oil prices down.
28:00
When you look at the inflation and Americans are suffering, it started with the
28:03
energy prices, you know, obviously, we're printing money that we don't have.
28:07
But on top of that, when we capped our own energy and start
28:10
buying it from foreign nations, that's what's back this inflation and started getting it
28:14
going out of control. And we need to get the EPA, you know,
28:18
and control as well. And we need to have more legislative oversight over
28:22
them because they are tribes to pass laws and policies without going through Congress,
28:25
which is quite frankly unconstitutional. And I'm not saying I don't care about the
28:27
environment, but we also don't need, you know, some through lettered agency
28:30
running a rogue and attacking our energy jobs here in our state. And some
28:34
other things that we need to do is continue the teriffs against China. We
28:38
are in a trade war, whether anyone wants admit that or not. And
28:41
we need to get our manufacturing independence from China. And we need to put
28:45
some policies in place that entice companies that have left this nation due to other
28:49
physical policy rather be taxes, regulations, or whatever, we need to put
28:52
some enticing measures back in place they get those jobs back in America. Now,
28:56
what I would really like to do is work with Charleston to get those
29:00
jobs to West Virginia because I want West Virginia to lead America's way back to
29:03
prosperity, and I think we can do that. Twenty four minutes away from
29:07
Tim. Before we let you go, Chris, You've made no secret in
29:11
your early campaigning as to your loyalty to former President Trump. We know that
29:15
Governor Justice as a friend of the Trump family. We know the Congressman Alex
29:18
Mooney had the endorsement a former President Trump and his race against David McKinley a
29:22
rate that Mooney dominated. Is there enough Trump love to go around in your
29:26
opinion? Is there a chance that? I mean, you know, if
29:27
you look at your picture and I posted your picture, you know, as
29:30
a preview to the show today, I mean, you've got to make America
29:33
grade again, had On. Is there enough Trump love to go around for
29:36
everybody? Oh? Sure? I mean, this is arguably the greatest president
29:40
in American history. He's definitely in the conversation, he's definitely the greatest one
29:42
in my lifetime. And it's okay that they both commands of them as well.
29:45
I'm actually happy that they are. And you know, we know some
29:48
people in the Trump organization as well, and the endorsement for eating one of
29:51
those two. I can go ahead and throw this out there. It's not
29:52
a guarantee for eating one of them. They're going to have to work for
29:55
it, and I'm promising that we're going to get it. But I know
29:57
it's not a guarantee for either one of them. And I mean, I
30:00
can tell them this. While they were anti never Trumpers, when when the
30:03
Gym Justice was running for governor and working with Hillary Clinton, I was working
30:07
with President Trump. When Alex Mooney was working with the establishment and have the
30:11
whole never Trump movement going on. I stood with President Trump. And that's
30:15
been noticed, That's been duly noted, and we'll see how that shakes out.
30:18
But no, I think most Republicans erning instead of West Virginia. If
30:21
you're going to see him, support President Trump. I'll give you like the
30:26
final thirty forty five seconds here to put your case out there. I mean,
30:30
I mean, we know how much support there's going to be for Mooney,
30:33
we know how much support there's going to be for Justice. People are
30:36
going to be picking sides here. Why should somebody go with the alternative here
30:40
in Chris Rose, Well, if you're tired of career politicians that over promise
30:45
and under deliver and only served them once and needs of lobbyist, special interest
30:48
groups and foreign nations. Other than that, we the people than ever campaign
30:52
to Look. I'm not a career politician. I don't have big Megan owners.
30:55
I'm not beholding to any political establishment or you know, lobbyist or interest
30:59

31:07

TEX says, ask Chris Rose what the coal industry has done for West Virginia.
31:52
The federal government had to put up money to buy an abandon Cole site
31:56
to make it usable again. That's the site the coal companies left unusable that
32:00
taxpayer has to now fund to get it usable again. As I see it,
32:02
cold company's extract wealth didn't leave the community to take care of the mess.
32:07
TEX says, Chris lost my vote when he said he was a Tea
32:09
party guy. Republicans created the EPA, but want to blame the Dems.
32:14
Trump done nothing for West Virginia. Raccole, This is facts, TEX says.
32:19
Inflation expansion question mark. The inflation rate was at eight point three percent
32:23
in August twenty twenty two when the Inflation Reduction Actors passed. It's now five
32:27
percent. Isn't that a reduction? Don't let facts get in the way of
32:31
propaganda, Tex says to Chris Rose, Do not give up. Remember no

35:54
us Jeff, good morning. Always a tragedy when the family loses everything and
36:00
the fire as we saw Friday night at the Chester Road area of Edgewood but
36:02
this one is really raising some eyebrows. Thankfully no one was injured. We
36:07
have the story with pictures posts to wv metronews dot com. What exactly is
36:10
the story here? Well, the story, I mean, there's a fire
36:14
obviously as you as you mentioned, and city firefighters had a difficult time finding
36:19
a hydrant that worked. I mean, that's the long and short of it.
36:22
I mean, they hooked up so this is in the Edgewood community,
36:24
So they hooked up to the closest hydrant, did not get sufficient water level
36:30
there. They went to a second hydrant which was a little further away,
36:35
did not get sufficient water there, and so they had to eventually go down
36:39
to Edgewood Drive, which was about sixteen hundred feet away, to try to
36:45
get some water all the time. So when they arrived on the scene,
36:47
this is key. When they arrived on the scene, it was smoke showing,
36:51
really wasn't any flames showing, not significantly. And then they were able
36:55
to battle with what they have on their trucks. You know, they need
37:00
other water, you know, to put out fires, especially if they're large
37:02
fires or potential to be large fires, and they just didn't get it.
37:07
They called in tanker trucks like from Sissonville and from the Army National Guard Fire
37:13
department up at Yeager and I think one other place, um to get some
37:16
tank water there. I think one of the telling photos. You can see
37:20
one of the photos and it's basically some firefighters standing around. They didn't have
37:25
a lot of water too, you know. And I say that with up
37:30
respect to firefighters, but but you know, but but they didn't have the
37:34
water there. So the city put out a release, uh Saturday afternoon and
37:39
Mayor Goodwin uh and in the chief of the fire department saying, you know,
37:45
we didn't have addic water supply, and Mayor Goodwe called it unacceptable and
37:49
that they would be getting in touch with West Virginia American Water Company. Not
37:53
heard from the water company on this. Uh. We're reaching out today for
37:58
the you know, try to get comment from the water company and from the
38:00
mayor's office. So our hope is to be able to do a follow up
38:04
story on this. But you know, you hear all kinds of things.
38:07
I mean, I don't have any of this. You know that there's been
38:12
sounding concern about water level in that area of town. Anyway, I'm not
38:15
I'm not sure. I haven't been able to confirm that if that's the truth
38:19
or not. But obviously there weren't fire. Hydrants weren't at the point of
38:24
pressure to be able to battle house fire. And so you said, we're
38:30
expecting, hopefully we'll get some sort of a statement release STUF. Well,
38:34
I mean we're trying, we hope, we hope hope to get I mean,
38:36
obviously it deserves a follow up story. Yeah, I mean, when
38:37
the mayor puts out that kind of release and she's not happy choine, so,
38:43
you know, so that's what we're trying to do today, to see
38:45
what the status is and who's responsible. Obviously from the mayor's comments, it's
38:51
a water company responsible for the water level, and I know the fire department
38:53
does some things with the hydrants too, so there's probably some city responsibility there
38:58
also just about you know, just you know, you know, I don't
39:02
know a lot about who checks the hydrants and and but I would imagine water
39:07
companies responsible for the water pressure. So we'll see what they say and quickly
39:12
before we'll let you go. Um, there's also another story on the website
39:15
about two mausoleums. Then we're damaged by a fire Saturday evening. Yeah,
39:17
I understand that it was electrical and nature. It's up at the Canall Valley
39:21
Gardens which is in Glasgow, you know, right across from the old power
39:23
plant there in Glasgow and years about sixty so there was an electrical issue there
39:29
and damaged a couple of mausoleums there. Again, that's another follow up today
39:35
to see how significant that is. And of course it's significant for anybody who
39:38
has a loved one buried there or in the mausoleum there remains, so and
39:44
we'll follow up there too. Unusual, but if it's electrical nature that kind
39:47
of would, I mean, that could happen obviously, so we'll try to
39:51
We'll try to get a follow up there and get more information about the extent
39:53
of the damage. All right, Jeff, I appreciate it, man.

We are just full of big announcements today because I just learned there during the
49:20
break that coming up on the news at ten o'clock this morning, we got
49:23
an announcement of some sort about a concert coming to Charleston. It's all I'm
49:27
allowed to say. I know what it is, but I can't say anything.
49:30
So I think I think they're playing on having it on the news coming
49:32
up after the top of the hour at ten o'clock this morning. To stick
49:35
around for a major concert announcement coming up. We'll have that for you after
49:39
ten o'clock this morning. Text as well, fire hydrants aren't working, so
49:43
water customers can expect an additional rate increase for their infrastructure repair. According to
49:50
a texture, Texts says Hope Wolf buy Ours was able to listen to the
49:53
awards, such a great guy. The awards were streamed. I was actually
49:58
there in person, but I think they were stream so we actually Wolf.
50:00
I heard from Wolf from ninety six one k WS whause he just retired a
50:05
couple of weeks ago. Months so ago and Wolf send out an email to
50:07
everybody here to congratulate them for all the awards that we won this past weekend,
50:12
the w VBA's and for his old station, ninety six one k WS
50:15
winning Country Station of the Year in West Virginia. Tech said, what did
50:21
hobbies show went? I don't know that Hoppy entered this year, because in
50:25
order to get these awards, like the you know, Country Station of the
50:30
Year, news talk Station of the Year, News Personality of the Year,
50:31
or whatever, you actually have to enter something. And I was told that
50:35
Hoppy did not enter this year. I don't know for that for a fact.
50:38
Can't ask him because he's off on vacation right now. But I was
50:42
told that he did not enter anything this year. I think that's what I
50:45
was told. I could have totally made that up. If I did totally
50:47
make it up and I got it right wrong, I'll blame Ryan for it.
50:52
Tech says, in reference to Josh Nelson earlier, no one still knows
50:55
who he is. It's not true. Josh the former former House member and
51:02
all around good guy. Interims are going to be going on at Marshall for
