- 1:49week and new Palmar will open up in Bell Valley, Ohio, just off
- 1:53the Bell Valley Exodvice seventy seven. That's about thirty miles north of Marietta.
- 1:57If there's not a Parmar store near un now, there will be soon coming
- 2:01up a plan in just a matter of moments, We're gonna be joined by
- 2:02Attorney General Patrick Morrissey. Also a little bit later, ungubernatorial candidate, by
- 2:07the way, also a little bit later on Delica Daniel Lynnville is going to
- 2:10be stopping by, and of course he's out of Caboc County. You know,
- 2:14we have a lot of listeners in that area. But the main reason
- 2:15I want to have him on was one of actually there's a couple of reason.
- 2:19I want to talk about this cybersecurity thing going on at Marshall University we
- 2:23touched on a little bit last week, but also want to get into into
- 2:28talking to him a tad about some of the changes that are happening not only
- 2:32in his area, but in other areas as it relates to some of these
- 2:36new job opportunities coming to the area. And also we had J. V.
- 2:39Mccusky he'll be stopping by as well. JB. Mccusky, the current
- 2:43state auditor who wants to be the Attorney General. So we got lots to
- 2:46get to this morning. At Charleston City Council last night, at one point
- 2:51we may have been one step away from yelling Jerry, Jerry, in honor
- 2:55of the late great Jerry Springer, make you rest in peace. Now it's
- 2:59a bit of a strap, a bit of a stretch, but it was
- 3:00a little while last night. More allegations being levied at former police chief type
- 3:05now Lieutenant Tye Hunt, more of certain council members calling for an outside investigation
- 3:10in the way the city's handling the whole thing, etc. We'll have more
- 3:14of that a little bit later on, but now let's bring an attorney general
- 3:16gouvenatorial candidate Patrick Morrissey. How are you, sir? Hey, I'm doing
- 3:21great. It's to join you with you today. Lots of stuff going on.
- 3:24You're exactly right, and I'll miss rang. I'll be the first to
- 3:28admit I'm not the biggest outdoors guy in the world myself, but West Virginia
- 3:32by and large is filled with outdoors men and women. So I was probably
- 3:38a little bit shocked, although I probably shouldn't have been at what I read
- 3:43last week, and that is that you, than others have felt the need
- 3:46to write a letter to Congress asking them to enact federal legislation that would,
- 3:53as you and twenty four other states have said, would preserve student access to
- 3:57weapons training. Now a deeper dive on this did some reading last night.
- 4:00I found that the US Department of Education has said that the so called Bipartisans
- 4:06Safer Communities Act of the Year twenty twenty two prohibits the use of Elementary and
- 4:13Secondary Education Acts funds to fund courses that teach students how to safely hunt and
- 4:18to use archery and firearms equipment out one hundred years ago, Sir. When
- 4:23I was in school, archery and gun safety were just I guess part of
- 4:26the regular currict curriculum. I'm normally in something like gym class or something like
- 4:30that. Is that not the case anymore? Well, I will tell you
- 4:34this interpretation, we think is deadlong, and it's just part of yet another
- 4:40effort by the Biden administration to really go after the whole concept of maintaining and
- 4:46being trained maintaining guns or training young people on how to use a gun properly.
- 4:55And so we looked at this and we thought that this was just a
- 4:59crazy interpretation, because you want to be able to teach you best practices so
- 5:03they don't misuse firearms. We think the law clearly allows that this has been
- 5:10going on for a long period of time. But this administration is going to
- 5:15try its best, whether we're talking about hunting or fishing and archery, whether
- 5:20we're talking about training for firearms for young people, whether we're talking about pistol
- 5:25braces for disabled individuals or senior citizens. It seems like anything associated with archery
- 5:34or guns or any weapons, Oh my goodness, you have to run away
- 5:40from it because somehow it's going to lead to more crime. And that's an
- 5:44absurd proposition. So a number of the ages got together and we think that
- 5:49it was important to clarify make sure that there is that training for young people
- 5:57and brother shooting sports. I mean, look, a lot of people listening
- 6:01knows. I mean, we rank at the top. We're always very near
- 6:05the top in terms of a shooting competitions, right, And I think when
- 6:12you think about how this impacts West Virginia or other rural states, it's terrible
- 6:16when this was part of the culture that we have. Yeah, I mean
- 6:19I just I was totally blown away. And I actually seen stuff that a
- 6:23couple of weeks ago st are on social media somebody posting about that, and
- 6:26I did a little deep dive into it last night, and yeah, I
- 6:28mean, it's to me, it's it's insanity. How are we doing totally
- 6:33switching gears here? How are we doing on coal plants these days or natural
- 6:36gas or other fuel based plants, Because I'm reading that there could be more
- 6:40restrictions coming. Yeah. I think the big picture is that what you have
- 6:46is a incredible contradiction coming out of the Bide administration and a lot of the
- 6:51Biden administration of allies. You know, if you look and see their goal
- 6:58is to try to move to sixty seven electric vehicles right within a very short
- 7:03period of time. Now, for all those listening, if you want to
- 7:06get to sixty seven percent electric vehicles, you're gonna have to power that somehow,
- 7:12right, and you have to do so through the power grid. At
- 7:15the very time they're trying to move to electric vehicles, they're trying to close
- 7:19down the coal fire power plants in a way that's really going to make it
- 7:26unable for you to get to the electric vehicles. So I don't know how
- 7:30they even run these proposals out because they're trying to close down fossil fuel plants,
- 7:35natural gas and coal and then argue you're going to need more power to
- 7:42have more electric vehicles. How does that work? So unfortunately, there's zeal
- 7:46for going after coal and for fossil fields is so great that they're blinding to
- 7:51the consequences of not only what would happen to the power grid, But what's
- 7:57going to happen for their broader goals to move to ev And so I think
- 8:01that captures the Biden administration folly in a nutshell, that this administration coming up
- 8:09with all sorts of completely ridiculous, absurd ideas that just don't work together.
- 8:15But unfortunately West Virginia pays a very high price. One when you close down
- 8:22more could fire power plats, the price the power the powers is going to
- 8:24go through the loop too. We're going to continue to lose more jobs as
- 8:30a result of this. And great if you try to mandate that more people
- 8:35move over to electric cars, these are ten thousand bucks more expensive than a
- 8:39regular car. How does West Virginia stand under that type of assault? I
- 8:45don't think they do. That's why I'm fighting back against it. Something else
- 8:48I've read Serve again we're talking with Attorney gener Ran gubernatorial candidate Patrick Morrissey.
- 8:52Something else I've read Draffice has been working on or joining I guess with something
- 8:56like fifteen sixteen States or so was was to prevent a law or try to
- 9:03it anyway that was passing California that would impact trade in other states. It
- 9:07has to do with pork production. Now, when I say pork, I'm
- 9:11not talking about goober. You know, I'm not talking about governmental pork.
- 9:13I'm talking about actual pork. What is this all about. Yeah, So
- 9:18California, over the last decade, they've been trying to do a lot of
- 9:24their regulations to set regulatory standards that are so high that other states really can't
- 9:30comply with them. And that makes it very, very difficult in a lot
- 9:35of areas to do business in California. And obviously these states have the ability
- 9:41to conduct rules and regulations on their own, and they could certainly be differences
- 9:46between the states in terms of how regulations to put together, but you're not
- 9:52supposed to use it to the detriment of commerce. So use it as a
- 9:56backdoor vehicle to set up one national standard that all the other states have to
- 10:01comply with. And so California actually imposes some of the most rigorous animal welfare
- 10:09rules in the country. And this is important because any port that's not produced
- 10:16under the California regulations is forbidden for being sold in California. And that's significant
- 10:22because California residence by up thirteen percent of all national port and so that means
- 10:28that if you're in West Virginia, if you're in Ohio or Texas and you're
- 10:33trying to ship your port products to California, where there are a lot of
- 10:37consumers, you're not able to unless you comply with all of their animal welfare
- 10:43rules, which are incredibly stringent. And this is really an effort to not
- 10:48only help their climate change agenda, but it's going to make it very difficult.
- 10:54It's not impossible for the out of state companies to comply, and in
- 10:58particular of this hurts West Virginia. So we're saying no, this is an
- 11:01attack on states rights and that states have to have the ability to regulate within
- 11:09reason, and that California can't really regulate outside of its state. It's overreaching
- 11:15the way they've done this, and so we've stepped up to say no to
- 11:18protect our farmers. How's a campaign for governor going, sir? You know,
- 11:24the campaign's going well. I think that we're getting a lot of support
- 11:28and momentum. We've been doing a lot of meetings the last week week and
- 11:31a half, I've had meetings virtually every single night where we've been talking with
- 11:37a lot of folks across West Virginia about the importance of really helping West Virginia
- 11:43reached her potential and address a lot of the big challenges that are states facing.
- 11:48And I've made the argument that if you're going to elect the governor,
- 11:52you need to elect a proven conservative with a record of getting big things done
- 11:58for our state. And I am the only proven conservative running in this cubernatorial
- 12:03race. And that's not the criticize other people that may have fine ideas,
- 12:07or they may be fine people, but it matters whether you've been there and
- 12:11done that, whether you have the record on the issues, not just what
- 12:13you say and what you're trying to accomplish. How many people listening have been
- 12:18disappointed by what a lot of Republicans or politicians say or promise. You want
- 12:24someone who actually has a deep record of accomplishment advancing these conservative ideas. That's
- 12:31certainly what we've done in terms of protecting people's jobs, defending our Second Amendment
- 12:37rights, defending hope, scholarship, school choice, to drive educational attainment forward.
- 12:43No one has that record who's running other than myself, and that I
- 12:48think people are really resonating with that message because they know there's a difference between
- 12:54folks that are promising to those who are deliving delivering. And I also think
- 12:58that people know that my background, I'm not born from political royalty. I
- 13:03have to work very hard for reaching the place that I'm at, and that's
- 13:09because people know I fight and I win at a level that's different than other
- 13:13candidates. I want to make this one quick, sir, before we let
- 13:16you go. I know we're still a ways away, but you are running
- 13:18for governor, as you just talked about, we know at least three people
- 13:20on the Republican ticket are going to be running for the office of ag that
- 13:24you currently occupy, one of those being State Auditor J. B. Mccuski
- 13:28will be on the show later, State Senator and former US Attorney Mike Stewart
- 13:31and State Senator Ryan Well. I know it's early, but is there any
- 13:35chance that you may at some point go out and endorse one of those candidates
- 13:39prior to the primary next year? Well? Yeah, I certainly reserve the
- 13:43right to wigh in and endorse any of the candidates. I'm watching closely,
- 13:46like a lot of voters are, because it is early, right, yeah,
- 13:50but most certainly I want to make sure that there's a strong attorney general.
- 13:54It's an important job. You want to make sure you get the right
- 13:56person. Because what I think about the job that I'm applying for as governor
- 14:01of the state of West Virginia, I think about how West Virginia wins and
- 14:05the quick answers you win as a team. It's a team sport, and
- 14:09you want to have the governor, the Attorney General, the treasurer, the
- 14:13legislature all moving in the same direction. And I think that can happen a
- 14:18lot more into the future. So I'm looking forward to evaluating that EGS race
- 14:24and deciding whether to weigh in or not. You have some good candidates,
- 14:28some good people that are running, and so I'm anxious to see how they're
- 14:33going to run their campaigns. But most assuredly, we're going to need all
- 14:37hands on deck to tackle the challenges that are facing our state journey general and
- 14:43in Canada for Governor Patrick Morrissey. It's always a pleasure. We'll talk again,
- 14:46Sarah, thanks a lot, Hey, thanks so much, Dave for
- 14:48you all. Nine twenty two five ETYLI brought to you in part by QC

- 18:22Morrissey, tech, says Uh. Morrisey says he supports Trump. That's not
- 18:26true. He said back in twenty sixteen. The Trump was a nutcase.
- 18:29He supported Ted Cruz according to a text, not like a Daniel Lenville,
- 18:32not a nutcase. How you doing? I got no microphone on Daniel there?
- 18:37Okay, Ryan, we have Daniel's mike. We're trying now. Hey,
- 18:42tests here we go. How you knowing? Man? I'm doing great,
- 18:45man. I'm glad not to be a nutcase. Sometimes you just gotta
- 18:51go with the flow. I had a I had a good fortune yesterday Daniel
- 18:55of sitting in on an economic roundtable discussion bipartisan by the way, some elected
- 19:00officials. I don't know why I was there. I thought there'd be cheese.
- 19:03They asked me to come in. Some elected officials were there, some
- 19:06tourism people, some business leaders, Chamber of Conversation Center. One of the
- 19:08takeaways delegate from the meeting was to the chagrin a lot of people is that
- 19:15people aren't coming to West Virginia. Not to the people that were in that
- 19:18room, they weren't upset, but other people say, oh, they're not.
- 19:21They're coming. The economic data shows it, and they're looking for housing
- 19:25in Putnam County where I live, and I know in Cabell County where you
- 19:27reside in that case, where you serve new Core in Apple Grove. Now
- 19:33you had this proposed hydrogen plan in Mason County to do Marshall Cybersecurity Center that
- 19:37I know you have been a very, very involved in. What do you
- 19:40make of all this and all the naysayers that are saying good things aren't happening
- 19:44in West Virginia. Well, I think I think it clearly shows that it
- 19:47is right. I mean, we're just now beginning to see the impact that
- 19:48New Core is having on the job market. Right they were waiting on permits.
- 19:52You know that it's a challenge sometimes to build things in this country,
- 19:56obviously, but we're really excited about the things that are going on right now
- 20:00and we're beginning to see it. So, you know, the New Core
- 20:02announcement was like two years ago, but obviously we're you know, they're they're
- 20:06now being able to begin construction. They just got the Core of Engineers permit,
- 20:08and you're beginning to see some of that downstream investment. So you've got
- 20:11Fidelis coming in, which is the two point one billion dollars hydrogen hub and
- 20:15some of those things. But then on top of that, I remember Frontiers,
- 20:19there's been talks about about them coming in to generate the base carbon from
- 20:23coal by the way, that that will help in the steel production for New
- 20:29Core. I mean, there's so much goodness coming for for our area.
- 20:32And yes, you're exactly right. We need more houses, we need more
- 20:34places for people to live, and it's going to be a really incredible time
- 20:37in our economy as all this construction happens because there's going to be all these
- 20:41construction workers, then you're going to have a further need for more permanent housing.
- 20:45It's just an absolutely incredible time for all of West Virginia. I mean,
- 20:48this is happening all over the state, but most especially sort of in
- 20:52that route to Mason County, Putnam County, Jackson County, Cabell County corridor.
- 20:56It's it's just absolutely incredible. They getting ready to build three hundred I
- 20:57think it's three hundred and townhouses. Yeah, and just down the road for
- 21:03me, yeah, a little bit of Dakes Valley three hundred and six units
- 21:07are going to be going in. I think it's three oh six. I
- 21:08think it's the number. And one of the things I thought when as it
- 21:11released a new CORPS I thought was interesting, you know they're building doing and
- 21:14you know this, they're building dorms for the workers from all the people that
- 21:18are coming in because they don't have enough hotel space whatever. So they're actually
- 21:22going to be from what I understand, and you're an insider and it's not
- 21:23me, they're actually constructing dorms for the construction workers to live in. That's
- 21:30right. Well, you're seeing that you're seeing camp grounds because a lot of
- 21:33times folks like could take their per dem the construction guys and buy an RV
- 21:36and then be able to park them. You know, the biggest correlation I
- 21:40could draw on this if you remember when the natural gas pipelines were coming through,
- 21:42you saw like camp grounds popping up everywhere, But those are really there
- 21:45for a short period of time because once that pipeline was finished in that area,
- 21:49they'd move on. Well, this is you know, sustained, multi
- 21:52year construction jobs that are going to be coming in. It's going to put
- 21:56a lot of tradesm into work, it's going to put you know, a
- 21:59lot of money moving through our economy, and we're just now about to see
- 22:02that. So what's incredible for that is that for the people of the state
- 22:04of West Virginia, we've got automatic triggers on your personal income tax reductions and
- 22:07we're going to see huge bumps in our in our in our tax collections just
- 22:11based upon the construction activity to start with, and then you've got the permanent
- 22:15jobs that come after that. So it's just incredible. Talking about Della Ga,
- 22:18Daniel Lenville, somebody text wanted to know about the in state construction workers
- 22:22that are they're going to be working there. Do you have any inteliment?
- 22:25Sure? So my understanding is that newcre is looking for basically any possible construction
- 22:30workers. So I think if you're in this state and you're ready to you're
- 22:33ready to go to work on these projects, they'll employ you. You're going
- 22:37to be less expensive because they're going to have to pay less money to house
- 22:38you, and a lot of those sorts of things. So the reality is
- 22:42they've got to find two thousand people for three years running twenty four seven,
- 22:47and that's just Newcord. That's before we begin to work on you know,
- 22:51all these all these efforts on again the hydrogen hub, on perhaps a frontiers
- 22:56on the Berkshire Hathaway energy deal in Jackson County. So I think if you're
- 23:00in the construction business in the state of West Virginia, if you're a construction
- 23:02tradesman, you're going to have a job, and you're going to have a
- 23:04job probably for the next decade. We'll talk about infrastructure for a moment.
- 23:07Obviously, we got to have it, specifically broadband, and I've preached it
- 23:11and I've preached it, and I've said, you know, broadband is the
- 23:15water, it's the sewage, or that's not about some kid playing a video
- 23:18game. As one of my textures said a couple of weeks ago, that's
- 23:21not what broadband is. You cannot operate a business in the state of West
- 23:25Virginia or in any of the state without reliable broadband. I know Center Cabiteau.
- 23:30Mitch Carmichael had him on the show a couple of weeks. Others have
- 23:33been out talking about it. What's the latest. Yeah, you're evolved in
- 23:34this. So we're really excited. And we did something really really great in
- 23:40your state legislature and all of state government. The Office of Broadband and your
- 23:44state legislature codified and designed maps that basically, if you look at it,
- 23:48amounted to us receiving four hundred million more dollars than we otherwise we're going to
- 23:52receive. So we took eight hundred million turned it into one point two million
- 23:56just by proving where the internet was and wasn't in the state of West vip
- 24:00that's right. And so that's why maps matter is that it tells you how
- 24:03much money you get in some of these federal programs, and it tells you
- 24:07where you can spend it. So we're working through that. Obviously, the
- 24:10biggest challenge that we have right now is the time it takes to construct and
- 24:12I mentioned regulatory issues even with new core there. It's the same thing in
- 24:17broadband. So we actually heard in February in testimony before my committee that you
- 24:22know, while two years or so ago is when we began to hand out
- 24:26some of these dollars, at that point it was less than one hundred homes
- 24:29had new broadband available to them. Now that doesn't mean that that's the number
- 24:32that it's going to be. Everyone is now saying that this one point two
- 24:36billion should be able to have us be able to get an option to every
- 24:38single person in this state by the time that we're done. But now it's
- 24:41speed. That's what we've got to work on it. I don't just mean
- 24:44speed of your internet connection. I mean speed to construction. And so we're
- 24:48beginning to see that, and we're beginning to see all these dollars that we're
- 24:51putting out and granting out also result in a lot more private investment in it.
- 24:55So you're seeing areas that already have broadband get significant upgrades. I know
- 24:59Frontier, Comcast a lot of the others are really starting to throw a lot
- 25:02of dollars back into their network because they don't want, you know, somebody
- 25:06else to be able to come in and steal their customers. Talking with Deligate
- 25:08Daniel Leville, Now, well, explain exactly the district that you serve,
- 25:11sir, So I serve District twenty two, and basically the boundaries of that
- 25:15are. I've got basically half of of Cabell County. I've got the eastern
- 25:18part of Cabell County, so my district boundaries, I've got about half of
- 25:22own about where Cable Midland High School is, and then everything to the east,
- 25:26so I've got Milton, Kellodin lease Age and sort of all those all
- 25:30those areas, and my boundaries are the Ohio River, the Mason County line,
- 25:33and the Putnam County line and the Lincoln County line. So it's a
- 25:37it's a great place, and Milton's Milton's obviously getting a floodwall and and Milton's
- 25:41a great place where living is a pleasure is the motto tech says, will
- 25:45new Corps use West Virginia workers. I think you've already answered that. The
- 25:48March nineteenth Herald dispatched story about fred Pace paints a different picture of the labor.
- 25:51They use lots of worker from Western states. Sure, So again,
- 25:55my big thing is that they need workers no matter where they come from.
- 25:57Right again, I think that if you're in West Virginia and you want to
- 26:00work, you're going to be able to have a job. Yeah, that's
- 26:03good. I mean, that's that's the way I read it as well.
- 26:06You know, Delegate, it's an exciting time to be in West Virginia.
- 26:08But is it perfect? No, not by any stretch of the imagination.
- 26:11And so I'm gonna go I'm gonta say negative, but I'm going to bring
- 26:15up some things we got to work on. We just wrapped up interims.
- 26:18You alluded to it earlier in the special session. Foster care. It's still
- 26:21a major problem, and of course this mess in corrections. Are we making
- 26:23any headway? Ser Well, we absolutely are so on foster care, I
- 26:26want to I want to touch on this, and I've heard some folks talk
- 26:29on your show a little bit about it. So I came into the legislature
- 26:32in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, we we created the Foster
- 26:36Care on Budsman's Office, so that's basically a neutral third party that helps to
- 26:40adjudicate these things. We passed a Foster Children in Families Bill of Rights.
- 26:44We threw an extra thirty million dollars annually into our foster care program to bring
- 26:48up the amount of dollars that foster families are able to receive and bring and
- 26:53use for these children that are some of the most needy that we absolutely have.
- 26:57Then in addition to that, we we put in further supports for grand
- 27:00families because we know there's a lot of grandparents that end up raising their grand
- 27:03kids too many, way too many, and so so you know, we're
- 27:07we're beginning to address that. You know, I spoke with some folks at
- 27:11DHHR when I saw the recent uh you know, class action. I think
- 27:15that was that was that was brought related to foster care. And my understanding
- 27:19is that we're hiring in an incredible number of new CPS workers and you're beginning
- 27:23to see that filter out. But their process on it essentially is that that
- 27:27as they bring in a new CPS worker, they're going to give them one
- 27:30or two cases right, and then slowly train them up and get them used
- 27:33to the job, and and we've had CPS workers that have had a lot
- 27:37of challenges, thirty plus cases to deal with. And a case is not
- 27:41just one child, it's a family, right, So that's a that's a
- 27:44that's a very difficult thing to try to try to make sure that they do
- 27:47everything that we've tasked them with. But my understanding is that based upon the
- 27:49hiring that we're doing, that that's going to get down to about fifteen cases.
- 27:52That's a lot more manageable caseload. So do we still have our challenges,
- 27:56Undeniably, there's no question about it. You know, by definition,
- 28:00when you look at a child that's in foster care, that's a child who's
- 28:03had a very difficult upbringing. It's very hard to take somebody's parental rights and
- 28:06to place that child with somebody else. So we've got to do two things.
- 28:10Number one, take care of the kids that we've got right now that
- 28:12are in the state's care, those are foster kids. And the second thing
- 28:15is to create an economy to create a state where that happens less and less.
- 28:21What about corrections, corrections, Yeah, we're making we're making big progress
- 28:23on corrections. Obviously, we've we deployed a significant amount of dollars for past
- 28:29do sort of sort of deferred maintenance. We've been working on that a long
- 28:33time. Did that also for our colleges and universities. But then in addition,
- 28:37made a very significant pay raise this time. I know there's been a
- 28:41lot of talk about the non uniformed officers. We modified some of what we
- 28:45had in front of us during the special session to give them two retention bonuses,
- 28:48one saying thank you for what you've already done and a second for saying
- 28:52thank you for continuing to stay. And then I think we're all pretty committed
- 28:56to making sure that we can further raise their pay as we move forward.
- 29:00So we've we've got a lot of work to do, obviously, no matter
- 29:03what, we're going to have challenges in this state. But we can walk
- 29:06and chew gum all at the same time. And I think there's a lot
- 29:07of good things happening that are going to allow us to further address a lot
- 29:11of these problems that we have. For we'd let you go, and again
- 29:12we're talking with Della gad Daniel Linville here on five eighty Live. I we'll
- 29:15talk about you for a moment and I don't want to put words in your
- 29:18mouth. You can stop me. But I got the idea, sir,
- 29:22that at one point you may have been toying with perhaps maybe running for a
- 29:26different office next year. Maybe you thought about it, you staying putting the
- 29:30House of Delegates, or I you've made up your mind. Yeah, I
- 29:30think I'm gonna stay in the House. So I thought a lot about potentially
- 29:33running for Secretary of State. It's it's it's a very interesting kind of dynamic
- 29:38there. I'm very interested in election security. I'm interested in making sure that
- 29:41people are confident that their vote counts. But as I surveyed sort of some
- 29:45of the things that are going on with me and my family and my ability
- 29:48to impact my district, I decided that I think that that staying in the
- 29:52House at Elego's probably the right move for me. Right now. You know,
- 29:56I'm a young man. I'm in my mid early thirties. You don't
- 29:57have to rub it in, but okay, well you know so so Look,
- 30:00but it's never been about me and my ambitions or those sorts of things.
- 30:04It's always been about where I think I can I can make the biggest
- 30:07difference. So I chose to try to stay in the House of Delegates and
- 30:11and will happily announce here I've I've said it to some of my confidence,
- 30:15but that I will be seeking re election next year to the House and continuing
- 30:18on in the role that i'm that I'm in and hopefully continue to enjoy the
- 30:22confidence of my voters. And they've they've not gotten sick and tired of me
- 30:26yet and kick me out, So that's a that's a bonus. But if
- 30:29I may, before we before we go Marshall cybersecurity, I want to I
- 30:33want to set the record straight on Marshall cybersecurity for everybody. So a couple
- 30:36of items. Marshall Cybersecurity is already a program that we have roughly has three
- 30:41hundred students, has been ranked number one in the nation repeatedly, and all
- 30:45we're doing is adding fuel to that fire. So last year they came in
- 30:49thirteenth and a competition, and that doesn't sound all that great until you realize
- 30:52that that was against not just other universities. We took students and we were
- 30:56we were competing against government agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA, all
- 31:02those sorts of things, and private companies with people that have been doing this
- 31:04for their whole career, and we came in thirteenth using students, so it's
- 31:08absolutely incredible. There are seven hundred and fifty thousand vacancies in cybersecurity, and
- 31:14this program at Marshall University haswide, worldwide world. But what's great about cybersecurity
- 31:19is you can do it from anywhere, So you can do it right here
- 31:22in the state of West Virginia and be working for a company anywhere. But
- 31:25then the last thing that I'll that I'll mention on that this program at Marshall
- 31:27University has a zero percent unemployment rate. Every single graduate gets a jow so
- 31:33so they can do it here, they can stay here, they can raise
- 31:37their family here, and they can make six figures right here in West Virginia
- 31:40with a with a four year degree. All right, well, I appreciate
- 31:42you being here as always, and I was gonna say dropping a big bombshell,
- 31:47but it really wasn't a but I appreciate you announcing it here. Bet,

- 35:24candidate now for Attorney General JB. Mccusky. How are you, sir,
- 35:29Hey Dave, how are you doing? Buddy? Am I on the Bigley
- 35:31Pigley Wiggly hot Line. Here you are, indeed on the Bigley Pigley Wiggly
- 35:36hot Line, which comes to you from the Palmar Storage Studio. Yes,
- 35:38indeed you are my man. All right, how are you? I'm well,
- 35:43I don't think i've had you on since you made the announcement that you
- 35:45would not be running for governor, but it stay it would make a run
- 35:47a state attorney general. Still, you know, a little early on,
- 35:52I guess, But the decision comes about a month or so ago. I
- 35:55guess it's about a month ago you made announce But do you think so far
- 36:00you made the right decision? Yeah? I feel great about the decision,
- 36:04Dave. And the outpouring of support that I've gotten, not just from my
- 36:07supporters but from people all across West Virginia has really been overwhelming, and I'm
- 36:12just super excited about the opportunity to continue to serve West Virginians. Well,
- 36:16why do you think you make a good attorney general? JB. Well,
- 36:21there's a couple of reasons. I think. First and most importantly is that
- 36:24my experience both as a legislator and in private practice representing coal, oil and
- 36:30gas companies and just the companies all across West Virginia, along with the seven
- 36:36years that we've spent in the Auditor's Office, making West Virginia the most transparent
- 36:40state in the country, working to reform our state bureaucracy, doing everything we
- 36:45can to reduce taxpayer expense and create better outcomes for every taxpayer, but importantly
- 36:52also establishing the Public Integrity and Fraud Unit. We have created an environment where
- 36:59we have of incredible relationships with prosecutors all around the state, with law enforcement
- 37:04all around the state to truly start to tackle the fraud that affects so many
- 37:10places around West Virginia and punish people to felony conviction when they don't treat taxpayer
- 37:17money like it's owned by the taxpayers. And I think that is an incredibly
- 37:22important thing to remember, is that every single dollar that is spent by every
- 37:27single government is owned by the taxpayer and it needs to be used to advance
- 37:32West Virginians. And so we take that to heart, and in our office,
- 37:37we have reduced the size of our office by twenty percent, We've reduced
- 37:42the expense of our office by about the same amount, and we are truly
- 37:45committed to making sure that every single dollar the taxpayers spend is spent properly and
- 37:52used to make sure that West virginians lives are being advanced and better I'm talking
- 37:59to again to a state auditor, JB. Mccuski, who is also a
- 38:02candidate for Attorney general. J you you told me when we were sitting up
- 38:06the interview that you wanted to talk about your job that you've done a state
- 38:09auditor, and about your chances running for attorney general. But you did want
- 38:13to get into specifics about your opponents, and I certainly will will honor that
- 38:19they haven't always done that. Why are you taking that room? Yeah?
- 38:22I think when we have when we're looking at a primary environment, we're all
- 38:27Republicans, and we are all looking to make sure that West Virginia is positioned
- 38:32properly in the marketplace of America. We have young families all across this country
- 38:38who are looking for a place to escape high taxed liberal policies, and every
- 38:45single person running in West Virginia on our ticket is looking to make sure that
- 38:50that happens. And and so for me, we are all interviewing for a
- 38:52job, and I have great respect for everybody, and I and you know,
- 38:58my job as a candidate is going to be to tell the people of
- 39:00West Virginia why I'm going to be a great attorney general and I'm really excited
- 39:05about advancing that message. Are you worried at all or have you heard from
- 39:07anybody that when you originally JB and the race for governor that may not support
- 39:13you for a g because maybe they'd already given their support to another candidate or
- 39:19whatever. Have you heard any of that? Sure, certainly that that is
- 39:22that is something that we hear, and you know, I respect everybody's decision.
- 39:25There are great people all across the spectrum, and I'm just looking forward
- 39:30to telling West Virginians why it is that I'm the best person to protect our
- 39:35coal, oil, and natural gas industries from you know, the Biden agenda
- 39:38that that seeks to thwart what is probably the greatest period of economic development that
- 39:45our state has ever had. And I think that, you know, those
- 39:49industries are the underpinning of what this growth is. They have they have enabled
- 39:53our state to grow in the past, they will continue to enable our state
- 39:57to grow. And I think the first and most orton thing that our Attorney
- 40:00General is going to need to do is to continue General Morrissey's great work on
- 40:07ensuring those industries continue to have a vibrant future in West Virginia. Had no
- 40:13no no, No, you go ahead finished finish the thought. Yeah,
- 40:15And I think the second part there is you have to ensure that we are
- 40:19keeping the value set of West Virginian's first right. So that means taking the
- 40:23work that the legislature has done to advance the Second Amendment and life and the
- 40:29First Amendment and protecting all of those great advancements that the legislature has made so
- 40:34that this state remains the place that young conservative families are going to want to
- 40:38move to. I had an Attorney General Patrick Morrissey and Gubernatory Kanda Patrick Morrissey
- 40:44on top of the show JB. And I asked him if he were if
- 40:47he was planning on endorsing any of the candidates for attorney general. He said
- 40:52he probably would, and I think if that was the word he said,
- 40:54he probably would at some point, but it's not early. Is that something
- 40:57that you will actively seek as an endorsement from man? Do you think he'll
- 41:00do one? Or what? He has been an absolutely incredible attorney general in
- 41:06so many ways, and if he were to want to endorse me, that
- 41:08would be something that would be truly an honor. Okay, all right,
- 41:13so well, how's the how's the campaign going out there so far? What
- 41:15are you What are you doing out on the trail? Who are you see
- 41:17and who whose hands you shaking? Whose baby's hugging? What are you doing
- 41:21out there? Sure? So, you know, one of the things that
- 41:22I'm really really focused on in this race is is we have a rising tide
- 41:29in West Virginia right there is there is excitement about our state and the world
- 41:34is looking at West Virginia as a place to move. And I think what
- 41:36we talked about earlier is how the Attorney General is going to is going to
- 41:39play a critical role in making sure that tide continues to rise. But I
- 41:44think the other half of that is we have to make sure that that tide
- 41:46truly raises all ships. And I think you know, the things that we
- 41:51are we are starting to focus on on the campaign trail is how do we
- 41:57use this incredible opportunity to give better opportunities for all of those rural communities that
- 42:05have been sort of ravaged by the opioid crisis and ravaged by you know,
- 42:09unemployment caused by the war on coal and all of these things. And that,
- 42:15in my estimation, means making sure that we have a world class education
- 42:21system in West Virginia place where parent involvement continues to be at the forefront,
- 42:25a place where we are giving our teachers the protection and the resources they need,
- 42:30and importantly trying to find solutions to several huge problems, one being the
- 42:37childcare crisis in West Virginia. We have deserts all across this state where young
- 42:40families are are not able to find a place for their child to go while
- 42:46they go to work, just causes unemployment, and in many instances we have
- 42:52children who are being raised by grandparents, and we have children who are being
- 42:55raised unfortunately by parents who are suffering from substance abuse, and so that particular
- 43:00problem, I think if we can find really great conservative solutions, there would
- 43:06be a huge boon to our economy and support many of our young families that
- 43:09are that are struggling. I think secondarily, we need to find a very
- 43:15conservative approach to criminal justice reform. I am very very focused on the prisons
- 43:22crisis, and I think there are ways that we can work with our prosecutors,
- 43:27work with people in law enforcement to start to punish those who need to
- 43:30be punished right, ensure that violent criminals and people who truly do not need
- 43:35to be in our society, are locked up, but find better solutions for
- 43:40people who need treatment to be in treatment, and to make sure that we
- 43:44don't have a two tier justicism where the powerful or held to a different standards
- 43:49than those who are less powerful. Go ahead, go ahead, Yeah,
- 43:52I think there are ways that we can save taxpayer dollars while also, uh,
- 43:59you know, advance see the truly important mission of of supporting our law
- 44:06enforcement and making sure that West Virginia remains a place that, like I said
- 44:09before, young families see as a safe environment for them and their children to
- 44:15to live a fantastic life. Say donator in Canada. Now for Attorney General

- 49:10Brought to you by Metro News Hotline to Charleston City Council last night. Jared
- 49:14Lewis with the story postedt WV Metronews dot com is Jared says in the story,
- 49:17some council members want something more to be done in the situational Former police
- 49:22chief now police lieutenant type Hunt. Now you recall a woman claims and then
- 49:25Chief Hunt admitted to an an appropriate relationship with this woman. The city investigated
- 49:31it and Hunt was suspended for three days. He on Friday of last week
- 49:36reside as chief, citing personal and medical reasons. Now he's been having back
- 49:40issues, surgical procedures, things that nature. I understand he has now assumed
- 49:46the role of lieutenant or will when he's off, I guess medical leaf.
- 49:50Now comes word that perhaps another woman is coming forward with allegations. Important to
- 49:53remember these are allegations discussed the city council allegations only at this point. Now,
- 49:59the city hasn't responded to the latest allegations either way. Councilwoman Shannon Snodgrass
- 50:04has said that she wasn't happy with the way the city handled first allegation,
- 50:07which again then chief had admitted two and she council Woman Snodgrass had asked for
- 50:13an outside investigation. This latest allegation allegation only involves a former police officer.
- 50:20Again, this is all part of the record at Charleston City Council last night
- 50:22you can read about at wv metronews dot com. One council member argued that
- 50:28council Woman Snodgrass was out of order and thought that maybe such a thing should
- 50:31be brought up in an executive session. It was also alleged by at least
- 50:36a couple of council members that they were being harassed by someone or someone's not
- 50:42clear who, but in doing some digging, I think I had my answers
- 50:45as to who it was, you know, and I'm sorry. There's no
- 50:50place for that. There's no place for it. It's a mass either way,
- 50:53and all you know, just do better. Everyone simply simply do better.
