  Speaker 2: the election, as the final statement came out around seven
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: this morning. That election day night, overnight early morning was
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: over all of that due to what's being termed a
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: corrupt memory stick, so the votes in effect had to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: be hand counted. Now, not a lot of races at
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that point were still being contested, but one that was
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: was the race for Kanawh Kennedy Commission between Republican Chris

  Speaker 2: the person we can call the newest member of the

  Speaker 2: Kanawh County Commission.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Elect, Natalie Tenant. Good morning, Congratulations, good morning, thank you.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: It hasn't really hit me yet because we were out
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: so late. I even had to throw in the tout
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: about one thirty when when the thirty one thousand absentee
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: ballots were being recounted to get to the seventeen hundred
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: that would to be added to it. Yeah, and I
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: just can't be let me. They probably didn't get home
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: till eight in the morning.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I got the final email from the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Kanawh County Commission folks at the Kanawh County I guess
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: is what it is at seven o'clock this morning and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: then I got a text from County Commissioner Bensulango, who
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: was on the show yesterday, and been uh said, you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: should have.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Gotten the email by now, And I was driving and
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I said, yes, you.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Know I did, And.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But Ben was on his way because he has a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: daytime of job when he's not a county commissioner. He
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was on his way to Huntington to do depositions.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: And I even said to them last night, I said,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: you guys are in charge, can you just not halt
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: because the human factor becomes in there, and you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: folks watching this, I watched them put up eight counting machines.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: They had to. They had to.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: They made that open space in the back of voter registration,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and it was really kind of a first for me
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: because having been I've been a pollworker before, I've been
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Secretary of State before, but never been back there where
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: they're accounting.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: And that was an open process.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: It was on Facebook and the beginning part of it,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: but anybody could come and watch it, and so that
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: took time. And imagine these poll workers and employees of
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the County Clerk's office who'd been up since three or
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: four yes, and then having to work another day starting
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: it like well, you know, the news was on. Well
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: they started doing at about ten pm. So they started
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: their second day at ten pm and went clear till seven.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And as we speak, they may still be working, you know.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, that's that's kind of what. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in the end, of course, everything's got you know, the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: process got to be certified and.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: The whole deal and whatever.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But any end, it looks like you are going to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: be the next Canawa County Commissioner. So congratulations to you.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And it was close. It was very close. It was close,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a little a little closer than what you would have liked.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Probably a little closer than you thought.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: It would be.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a little closer than that. But I mean, think
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Chris was everywhere I was, and he was offering ideas.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: I saw his signs, he saw mine. And that's the
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: way it was was supposed to be. And people were
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: so relieved that we were respect full and cordial of
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: each other. Remember I don't I don't know if I
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: said it on air on Monday when we were together,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: but afterward I said, hey, Chris, come on, come on over.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: So he came over to our watch party with I
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: was with Sally Robinson, the assessor, and he came over.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: I guess you know even before you know, we all
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: anticipate that those early votes are going to come in
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: and they're going to set the tone.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well he was.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: He was ready to come in and set the tone.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: And everybody they clapped for him when he came in
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: and when he left, and that's that's just the way
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: it should be.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: And I will use some of his ideas. I'll call him, I'll.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Get some thoughts on what he thinks, because you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: we respect each other.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And I love the fact.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Again, and I've talked about this over and over again
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: about how civil the campaign was and I.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Was, and you both said it would be.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But sometimes things happen, right, and sometimes other people get involved.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not necessarily the candidates. I mean, I've
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: even seen instances when a candidate has released a statement saying, hey,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that was put out by a pack or something.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I had nothing to do with that. I this is
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: myself from that.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But even last night I texted both of you and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I said, look, I want the winner of this to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: be in be on the show tomorrow morning, and and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Walter sends me a text of the two of you together,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you know last night.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: So did you?
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Oh you said it if you send me a text
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: to the two of d Okay, I'm sorry. It was
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a long night for me too.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: But but but even uh and I'm assuming he's congratulated.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well he congratulated me when he came in either way.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: And then he came back into voter registration. I'd been
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: back and forth between voter registration and he came back
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: and I left before he did. I said, somebody text
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: me and tell me if I got to get to
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the radio station or not. And that was that was
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the thing, because you know, I've been battling this cold
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: a little bit, and.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Plus all the talking probably did not good for the.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Voice either, and so I was like, just somebody tell
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: me if I got to go see Dave Allen.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Exactly what I said.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Oddly enough, that's what people say every day on this show,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to please tell me if I have to go see
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The day abound. But Dave Allen showing five Any Lives

• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and start your journey towards better health today. All right,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: so now it's time to go to work. Yes, it's
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: time to go to work. And all these ideas that
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you that you talked about when you and Chris were
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: on the show, some of the ideas that you said,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and you both of you said, I like that idea,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I may use it. Now you've got to set down
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and you've got to work with two other county commissioners,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the commissioned President, Lance Wheeler and also Ben Selanga.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: A little bit different for you, I.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Mean, because you know, obviously when you were Secretary of State,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you had a great group of people around you. But
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you know, ultimately whoever has the office pretty much has
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the ultimate decision. Yeah, you know, once the door is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: closed and say okay, well to take into it, but
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: we're not going to do this, okay now, no matter
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: what it is, that you set down with. You know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you've got to have a public vote, and you've got
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to be you know, you gotta work with two other people.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Oh and I'm making and plus the Sheriff's department all
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the everything that goes into that too, exactly.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: All the all the other different agencies of elected officials also. Well,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: my first thing today was going to be let me
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: call the county commissioners and just you know, talk to
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: them right now. I'm not going to get well, we know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Soelango's off to work. I'm not going to give them
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: a call when they went home at eight. I thought
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: that I was like, can't you guys mean we can
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: all come back when we're fresh, fresh and our minds
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: are clear. They're like, no, we have to, we have
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: to be here. So I'm going to give commissioners slot Nick,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: and Wheeler and and Selango a little break. Maybe maybe
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: later this afternoon, but certainly not first thing in the morning.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: But I will call some of the the mayors and
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: the people that I need to talk to that that
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I I didn't wasn't able to get a hold of.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I left a lot of messages, but I'm also going
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: to call I'm going to call.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: Patrick Morrissey. I'm going to call Jim Justice. I'm going
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: to call Shelley.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Moore Capito because she's the senior Senator now, and there
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: is that relationship between counties or among counties and our
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: federal representatives that we still need that help, and I
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: want them to know that I'm right here and we
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: can still move forward. You know. I'm hopeful that we
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: get some of the same funding that we've gotten over
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: the last four years, whether it was ARPA, whether it
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: was the the i r A, and that money to
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: continue to do the work that has been planned. So
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: that's why I think the federal and state elected officials also.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Let me see, I saw JB.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking of all the Kanawha County Tristan Levitt, he
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: and I see each other all the time. I'm trying
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: to think of the new the new delegates I saw
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: J JB.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Who else everybody else is pretty much.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dan and Ferrer run unopposed.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Uh Dean Jeffries ran unopposed. So you'll be working with
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: with with a lot of those with those people because
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: being in being in I mean, all of the county
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: commissions around the state keep an eye on Charleston. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: especially when you're in Charleston, you know you're gonna find
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: yourself there and lobby lobbying so to speak, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: there to try to get things for the state's largest
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: county and the seat of government. I want to give
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you an opportunity, though, Natalie, to to thank some people,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: because I know you had a team around you, uh, family,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: so on and so forth. So I'm gonna give you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a couple of minutes.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: It's your time. If you just want to thank some people,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: you go right ahead.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Well, I think first and foremost the voters who who
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: believed in me. I've gotten so many texts and messages.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: It's like that's where that's where we need you, Natalie.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: We need you to be there. But I also thank
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: them not just for their vote, but for their time
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: and confiding in me what they are concerned about. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: those are the things the next steps that I also
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: have to get together with those things that I pointed out,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: the water, some internet.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: We know what we can get on the winter Internet.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: I hope that boy that we still get the one
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: point two billion dollars in the Bead project with expanding internet,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: and so I thank the people who who saw in
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: me what is possible that we can do that, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: those voters, and I'll be out and about, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: doing doing my same things, going to dinners, going to festivals,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: going to things like that, and of course the volunteers
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: who helped me and my family. You know, we're a
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: little bit different now that we're all in different places,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: and you know, we FaceTime to head into election night
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: last night, so you know, it's always tough on the family.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: And my daughter is of an age now where she
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: is a young journalist studying to be a young journalist.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: She's at the University of Kentucky, so she's covering some
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Kentucky elections over there, but she is understanding the whole
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: concept of all all the way around, so it can
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: be a little tough on her, you know, compared to
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: when she was eighteen months old or ten years old.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: So I think my family too. I think my friends
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: who who came out, who gave me a hard time,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: who teased me, who toughened me up. And then you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: my siblings are north central West Virginia, but certainly received
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: texts from them and well wishes, and you know, it's
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: all of this is who I am, and I will
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: remain that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: I always just gut checked myself.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: You know, my dad's no longer living, my mom's been
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: gone thirteen years, but I would always be you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: if I make this decision, can I go back to
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the farm and explain it to my dad, to my
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: mom and to my siblings, and it'll still be that,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: but it's a little closer. It was truly different running
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: a county race for me as opposed to a statewide race,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: because when you run a county or you want a
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: state wide race, you're lucky. You try to hit one
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: or two things in a county and go on to
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: the next county. When you run the county race, you're
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: going to everything, and you just have that intimacy a
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: little bit more and that understanding of each other.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And what I've found, and I'll let you go after
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: this I've found and this doesn't matter whe it's Canaan
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: County or whatever. One of my former coworkers, the news
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: director at a station, used to refer to it as
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: provincial paranoia. What happens is is basically that there's always
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: one area of the county, of the city, whatever the case,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that thinks that they're kind of being crapped on for
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: lack of about it or that they're not getting as much.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: And so you're going to get a lot more of
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that in Kanaan County, just like you would in Putnam
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: or McDow countywhere else, because that's a common thing. Something
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: that Danny Jones pointed out to me last night. And
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Danny will be on with us a little bit later on.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: You are the first female commissioner. Oh yeah, county.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's amazing. Two hundred and thirty six years,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: we've never had a woman, and we've had so many
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: strong women come from the county, like I can think
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: of a Martha Walker, a Martha Whorley, even some of
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: our business like Virginia King or yeah, Virginia King who
• 14:04

• 18:23
  Speaker 11: Sir, Good morning, Dave wide eyed and bushy tail.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Amelia Nicely of West Virginia watch good morning. And we
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: also have Brad mclhanny. Brad, good morning. How are you, sir?
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: Oh Hi? I am here at Metro News Central in Morgantown,
• 18:40
  Speaker 12: and occasionally I see Happy Kircher walking by to go
• 18:43
  Speaker 12: get a cup of coffee.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Now, so, uh, what's the mood up there? And say everybody?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Everybody kind of looks hung over. But there was no alcohol,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, at least not here anyway.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: We didn't have any here. Maybe Steven had some, I
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: We didn't have There was no alcohol in my Stanley.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Amelia is silent, okay, Brad, I'm gonna start with you.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Not a bad night to be a Republican in the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: state of West Virginia. Last night, Brad, I'll start with you.
• 19:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, uh, that is one morning conversation that
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: Happy and I had sort of how to assess that.
• 19:18
  Speaker 12: His thinking was that it's you know, it's it's just
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: impressive Republican dominance. And I felt like his assessment of
• 19:30
  Speaker 12: it was that it's, uh, you know, a new reassertion
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: of Republican power in West Virginia. I viewed it as
• 19:40
  Speaker 12: more of a continuation. You know, all all of the
• 19:44
  Speaker 12: statewide offices were in Republican heines already, but they are
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: again and bye by seemingly even broader margins Republicans could
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: there was barely any any room to increase their super
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: majorities in the House and the Senate, but they seem
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: to have done it with you know, the numbers. They
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: had one more seat in the Senate, which leaves Democrats
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: with two, a couple seats in the House of Delegates.
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: So you know, we're assessing this thing on the margins, like,
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: are Republicans in West Virginia newly amazing or is this
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: continuation of the amazing track record that they've had over
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: the last eight, ten, twelve years.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Steven, your take on the Republican I will say victory,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: that's a that's a I mean because if you look
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: at the bord of public works, of course we already
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: you know, Leonhardt didn't run for well, I mean, he
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: was the only one that's going to be returning to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: that room. Your take on this Republican domination in West Virginia.
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: I'm not surprised. I mean, as reporters, we don't make
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: predictions publicly. I think we've all talked amongst ourselves. We're
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: aware to Republican voter registration advantage, We're aware do demographic
• 20:54
  Speaker 11: changes politically in the state over the last decade. For sure,
• 20:59
  Speaker 11: I'm not surprised Republicans won, you know, for for governor,
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: for US Senate, for congressional seats, for border public works seats.
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: I am a little taken back by the margins. You're
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: talking twenty five thirty thirty five point margins for the
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: most part, for everybody, it was very, very, very massive.
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: And as Brad talked about just there, I mean, you're
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: losing a Democratic seat in the state Senate, so they
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: go from three to two, and the thirty four member
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: body and of course, we haven't seen numbers that low
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: in appolical party since don A. Bowlie was the only
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: Republican in like the in the eighties. And then on
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: the House side, of course, you know they're dropping from
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: eleven to nine seats and that one hundred member body.
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: So I gotta tell you, I'm not surprised Republicans one.
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: I am a little surprised by just the margins Amelia.
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: I agree with what Steven and Brad said. I was
• 21:53
  Speaker 13: looking at the eastern Pinhandle just to like dig into
• 21:55
  Speaker 13: those numbers a little bit. That was an area of
• 21:57
  Speaker 13: the state that has you know, more republic book and
• 22:00
  Speaker 13: registrations and Democrats, but has a growing number of independent
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: registrations and has a changing population, a younger population, people
• 22:07
  Speaker 13: leaving DC wanting to live in West Virginian Commune into
• 22:10
  Speaker 13: the city. And still Republicans won every race there in
• 22:14
  Speaker 13: the House and the Senate. I think one of the
• 22:16
  Speaker 13: closest ones was still a thousand votes apart. I mean,
• 22:20
  Speaker 13: they really weren't close races. I thought that was really interesting,
• 22:24
  Speaker 13: cause that was one part of the state of thought, Oh,
• 22:25
  Speaker 13: we might see a couple of dem pickups here, but
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: it's still very red.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: It didn't happen. Jim Justice and baby dog are on
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: their way to Washington. The U Hall.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I was going to say the U Haul's bulled up
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: the governor's mansion, but probably not. So they're headed to Washington. Brad,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: your take on Jim Justice US Senator.
• 22:44
  Speaker 12: Man It is going to be an adventure. And you know,
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: again last night he told his audience at the Greenbrier,
• 22:50
  Speaker 12: his supporters that no one in the right mind would
• 22:54
  Speaker 12: want to go to Washington, d C. But he said
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: he is willing to do it because he believes the
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: voter have asked him to. He believes West Virginians will
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: benefit from a Republican majority in the Senate that he
• 23:06
  Speaker 12: is clearly contributing to by virtue of winning that seat
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: that had been held by a former Democrat and now independent,
• 23:14
  Speaker 12: Joe Manchin. But how he You know, he has been
• 23:18
  Speaker 12: one of a kind as governor, and I think he
• 23:22
  Speaker 12: will continue to be one of a kind as senator.
• 23:25
  Speaker 12: You know, all these questions remain, how will he treat
• 23:28
  Speaker 12: his dog? How will he physically get around the Capitol,
• 23:33
  Speaker 12: And you know it's a big place. He doesn't move
• 23:36
  Speaker 12: about easily. He tends to sit when he makes presentations,
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: and what is his commitment to being there when he
• 23:43
  Speaker 12: needs to be. And I don't think I'm surprising you,
• 23:46
  Speaker 12: guys when I just quietly whisper that there are questions
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: about whether Jim Justice will serve out a full term.
• 23:53
  Speaker 12: He says he will.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: He says he will, but I mean, I think a
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: lot of us do have questions about that. I just
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: said this whole idea when Patrick urse he will get
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: the him momentarily, guys, Patrick morris he goes over to
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: the governor's mansion. I mean, I don't know if anybody's
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: been in the governor's mansion a while. I picture the furniture.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: There's bed sheets on it, you know, kind of like
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: your grandma's house. Possibly all the milk in the fridge
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: has expired because nobody's been there in the last several years.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Patrick Morrissey as the governor Amelia.
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: Yes, he easily won that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 14: Last night.
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: I mean Pol's closed at seven thirty and I think
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: my phone buzzed at seven thirty one.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: That the ap he.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Started giving his speech at four yesterday.
• 24:29
  Speaker 13: Yeah, so he easily won that one. In his acceptance speech,
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: he talked a lot of the same points that he
• 24:36
  Speaker 13: has on campaigning. He's really committed to auditing a lot.
• 24:40
  Speaker 13: He loves He loves a good audit. So he wants
• 24:42
  Speaker 13: to look at where he can save money potentially give
• 24:44
  Speaker 13: money back to taxpayers in the form of a tax
• 24:46
  Speaker 13: cutter in those savings that he finds by auditing. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: he also of course talked about, I think, going against
• 24:53
  Speaker 13: any federal overreach when it comes to energy. He really
• 24:55
  Speaker 13: wants to bring energy jobs back to West Virginia. And
• 24:59
  Speaker 13: he talked about expand school choice, which is something he's
• 25:01
  Speaker 13: really passionate about. Yes, I think there really weren't any
• 25:05
  Speaker 13: surprises necessarily in that speech, but he was excited to
• 25:09
  Speaker 13: say he is the first governor from Jefferson County. It's
• 25:12
  Speaker 13: proud to be from the Eastern Pinhandle, and really stress
• 25:14
  Speaker 13: that that's important to him to not only represent the
• 25:17
  Speaker 13: Eastern Panhandle, but all fifty five counties.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: There's always a little something that comes in. I remember,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: you know, being a southern West Virginian gay whiner. El
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Ray Tomlin was there and he was always real big
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: on the southern West Virginia. That's just and that's just
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: a part of it. One thing I wonder about Steven.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: You fought you, all three of you follow all these
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: folks closely. You know one thing, Patrick Morrish, he's kind
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: of known as a bulldog. He is a very head
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: strong and it's not a bad thing in the world
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: of politics, but when he gets in there with some
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: of these larger personalities in the legislature, Let's say a
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Senator Eric Tarr for example, also very similar, you know, bulldog.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: You know, not saying that they don't compromise. I don't
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: mean that, but I'm just saying it has some pretty
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: strong ideas. Eric would tell you that about about West Virginia.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: How do you see Steve in that relationship working?
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: Such a good question. It really is one of those
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: things where, like you said, Morris, he's a hard charging guy.
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: He's a bulldog, and over the years he has rubbed
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: some Republican lawmakers the wrong way. You always hear about it,
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: particularly after a primary, because sometimes some bridges are burned
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: or he goes a little bit too hard. And his
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: relationship sometimes with the Republican legislature has been interesting. And
• 26:22
  Speaker 11: we're called a few years ago during the abortion prior
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: to the abortion special session in twenty twenty two, when
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: he had been ascid do and advisory opinion all behalf
• 26:32
  Speaker 11: of the legislature in regards to the law that was
• 26:35
  Speaker 11: already on the books, and instead of presenting that to
• 26:38
  Speaker 11: the legislature first, he went straight to the press and
• 26:40
  Speaker 11: that really upset House Speaker Roger Hanshaw and they had
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: some words about that press. So that's an example. So
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: I do think that there's going to probably be some
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: differences on how things are done. I suspect we'll see
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: a lot that worked out behind the scenes, and maybe
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: it won't bleed over into our review, but it's something
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: we're going to be watching because the dynamics are very interesting.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Let me read a text here and I'll get all
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: your guys opinion on this.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: We got to text this show, so, Dave, if Democrats
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: are upset with the presidential election outcome, they have two
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: groups of people to blame. Number one, their own party
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: elites who covered up Biden's mental problems for over a
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: year at installed Harris, and their own party state delegates
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to the Democratic National Convention who went cultishly along with
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: stealing Democratic voters choices. If a true or even limited
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Democratic primary had happened, they would have roundly defeated Donald Trump. Amelia,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: you want to take the first shot of that one.
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: Not really though, Well, I mean that's a little hard
• 27:37
  Speaker 11: to say, I think, because I mean, you look at
• 27:39
  Speaker 11: and I've only ProMED my mind has been so focused
• 27:42
  Speaker 11: on the state legislative races, state board public works races.
• 27:46
  Speaker 11: I'm sort of a spectator to what's going on with
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: the presidential race at this point. But I do kind
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: of see looking at some of the dumbers and some
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: of the analysis from the national outlets that I think
• 27:57
  Speaker 11: Trump actually outperformed Biden in places that Biden actually did
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: better in twenty twenty. So whether you have Kamala Harris
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: at the top of the ticket, whether you have Biden
• 28:10
  Speaker 11: at the top of a ticket, or whether they would have
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: done an actual contested convention and find somebody else, I
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: don't know that it would have changed that much. So,
• 28:20
  Speaker 11: I mean it's easy to say that, but I don't
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: think that's you can't really say that based on the evidence.
• 28:25
  Speaker 13: I think that we do see that national politics have
• 28:27
  Speaker 13: made a difference in the outcome and the state legislative process.
• 28:30
  Speaker 13: I can't say that definitively, but I will Yeah, but
• 28:33
  Speaker 13: I think you know, we sit there and we cover
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: these people, you know, every day for sixty days, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 13: they agree more than they disagree. But you know when
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: people look at those those ballots and see D next
• 28:43
  Speaker 13: to their name and they wanted it for Trump, that.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Definitely, I think, which is why you've seen so many
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: longstanding Democrats who have suddenly become ours now, you know,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: because of that. And again I use the example, and
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I've used this time and time again. You can't run
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: for Wetzel County Assessor without saying that, you know, I
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: stand with Donald Trump.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's just kind of kind of where we're Brad.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the state Democratic Party. Mike Pushkin's a
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: regular guest on the show. He won, by the way,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: he had some competition, and he did win reelection last
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: night for.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: His house seat.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the state Democratic Party. I mean, it's
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: a mess right now. And I don't mean that that's
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: not a reflection on Mike Pushkin necessarily. I'm just saying
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: because the state Democratic Party in West Virginia is a
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: mess overall, no matter.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Who the head of the party is.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Because it's like, you know, they had a couple of
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: wins here in Canall Valley with Kaylee Young and Hollis Lewis.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: But by and large, ain't a lot of people signing
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: up to be a Democrat right now.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Brad.
• 29:36
  Speaker 13: No.
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: And you know, I honestly, my assessment of success for
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: Democrats this election probably would have been sort of holding
• 29:47
  Speaker 12: serve in the legislative races. That they are down one
• 29:51
  Speaker 12: seat now in the Senate, down to two Democrats in
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: the Senate, and down to nine Republicans from now to
• 29:58
  Speaker 12: nine Democrats from eleven in the House of Delegates. That's
• 30:02
  Speaker 12: pretty close to where they were down a little bit. So,
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: you know, have they bottomed out or is it just
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: you know, is this a leveling off at this point?
• 30:14
  Speaker 12: Democrats have a long way to come back to relevance
• 30:17
  Speaker 12: in West Virginia politics. Overall, that's a long journey. And
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: again you see another cycle of former Democrats now Republicans
• 30:29
  Speaker 12: successfully obtaining office. And one that comes to mind is
• 30:33
  Speaker 12: former Democrat Mark Hunt, who has served in the state
• 30:36
  Speaker 12: Senate now is going to be West Virginia's auditor. So,
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: you know, it seems to me the Republicans are like
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: the Democrats used to be, and they are stratified. They
• 30:49
  Speaker 12: have a group of Republicans who are sort of traditional
• 30:53
  Speaker 12: others who are further through the right, animated by more
• 30:59
  Speaker 12: social issues. And then this group of people I think
• 31:03
  Speaker 12: of as as pragmatists who really could be under either banner,
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: but they know that the electoral odds are that you're
• 31:13
  Speaker 12: going to be elected more likely as a Republican in
• 31:16
  Speaker 12: West Virginia. At this point, those people used to make
• 31:19
  Speaker 12: that calculation to be Democrats. Looking at you, Joe Mansion,
• 31:23
  Speaker 12: but you know, it's just it's a different landscape. And
• 31:27
  Speaker 12: if you are a moderate and you think, well, how
• 31:30
  Speaker 12: how is it that I'm most likely to be elected?
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: You sign up to be a Republican at this point.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: You're exactly right before we let you go, guys, Amendment one,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: it was close, a Member one was close.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Stephen still is still is.
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know if a canvas will change it,
• 31:45
  Speaker 11: but I mean we're talking fifty to fifty fifty fifty,
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: which I not to brag, but I did kind of
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: predict that. I think it would be a coin flip
• 31:52
  Speaker 11: on that one. So fifty to fifty, though slightly more
• 31:55
  Speaker 11: for it than against it. Again, whether a canvas, you know,
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: by County commits here soon will perhaps affect that we
• 32:04
  Speaker 11: will see. If not, it's going in the state constitution.
• 32:07
  Speaker 11: So uh, congratulations to the people that were pushing that,
• 32:13
  Speaker 11: because you know, getting a narrow wind is still a win.
• 32:17
  Speaker 11: So they were able to get it across the line.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: And this was the physician assisted suicide.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was kind of called that, you know,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: something that is already illegal in West Virginia, but they
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: wanted just to put the exclamation point on that.
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: Amelia, And I will say the number one thing I
• 32:30
  Speaker 13: saw on Facebook yesterday on my feet were people voting
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: that were confused about it whether they voted against her
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: for it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: They were like, I.
• 32:37
  Speaker 13: Didn't know what to check. I was confused. I was
• 32:39
  Speaker 13: trying to take out my phone.
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: So interesting to see how the biggest complain I heard was
• 32:44
  Speaker 11: the wordings, So people didn't know if it was their
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: voting forward or against her, if they were pushing it,
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: you know, for physician assistants for suicide against it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Low confusion on that, right. Give me about thirty seconds
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: on Amendment one.
• 32:55
  Speaker 12: Your take, Well, you know, we don't have exit polling,
• 32:59
  Speaker 12: but I would love to know what people interpreted they
• 33:04
  Speaker 12: were voting on them their reasons for doing so, because
• 33:07
  Speaker 12: I think it may have been as close as it
• 33:09
  Speaker 12: was for the very reasons. Even in the media stated
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: the people just didn't know. It was kind of a
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: double negative. Which which way did I vote? I came
• 33:16
  Speaker 12: out not sure.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I got a quick text here and I got to
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: read this for the three of you, and you may
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: or may not want to do this, but a quick
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: text came just came in. They said, now that the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: election is settled, not technically settled, but I mean it's
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much settled. Who do you think the next
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Senate president will be?
• 33:32
  Speaker 11: Well, now that we are past this, I guarantee we
• 33:35
  Speaker 11: got you know, Leis, we got special sessions beginning Sunday.
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: They will technically go in and caucus I think, and
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: choose their leadership for the next legislative session, probably beginning
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: in December. But now I think you're going to start
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: to see some names really pop up, and some people.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Give us give us one.
• 33:52
  Speaker 11: Obviously, Eric hard the Center Finance Committee chairman, Tom Takubo,
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: the majority leader, is up there for sure. I've heard
• 34:00
  Speaker 11: other names like State Senator Mike Oliveria' you've heard that too,
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: Melia So I mean it's going to be a free fall,
• 34:05
  Speaker 11: all right, Amelia, give me a prediction.
• 34:07
  Speaker 13: I don't want to predict. I'm going to echo those
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: same three names that I had heard, Amy Grady, but
• 34:11
  Speaker 13: haven't heard that more recently.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a full time job, and
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Amy has committed a senator. Grady is committed to her classroom.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't see that happening. Brad, you want
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: to you want to go along with the other two.
• 34:23
  Speaker 12: I think it is very fluid. Sometime soon, I expect
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: Judiciary Chairman Charlie Trump to resign to take his Supreme
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: Court seat. Mark Hunt may wait a little later to resign. Uh,
• 34:35
  Speaker 12: he may have his replacement designated by incoming Governor Morrissey.
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: And then you know, who knows if the Morrissey administration
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: may take some Senators and put them into cabinet roles.
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: So I don't think this is the final shape of
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: the Senate, and the shape is going to determine, you know,
• 34:56
  Speaker 12: this underlying battle for who the president is.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, I appreciate it a long night for everybody.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Brad up in Morgantown, Amelia and Stephen in the part
• 35:03

  Speaker 2: Thanks like guys, thank you, thank you, thanks a lot. Quick,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: all right, Brad, will cut you loose while I read
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: a quick text here, says Dave. The fact that Mayor
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Amy Goodwin bragged on your show about being in the
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: same college sorority as now County Commissioner Natalie Tenant proves
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: how selectively elitists the West virgin West Virginia Democratic Party
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: has become.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Text, says Dave.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: West Virginia and the whole United States still has common sense.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Voters spoke loudly last night and shose candidates that had
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: some common sense policies. The United States citizens are sick
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and tired of a left woke agenda and proved that
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: last night President's Trump policies will again help America recover
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: from the devastating policies of the Democratic Party. Hey, candidates, the.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Election is over.

  Speaker 2: a continuing coverage throughout the day. But I want to
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: talk to you, sir about the big elephant in the room,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: and that is Donald Trump is going to be the
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: first president number forty five and forty seven of these here,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: United States of America. Your takes her.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: It's the largest comeback, theysed comeback in the history of
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: American politics. And I'll tell you a quick story. What's
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: this stuff you said will be flying.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Off the shelves, the brondeode And I had to look
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: up to see what brondo was well, because I didn't know.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: When Cassie Hutchinson I read her book and she said
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: that when he was putting on the mask, he said,
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: the brondo came off on his cords and that's why
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: he didn't want to like to wear a mask because
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: the White Corps, you know, the white bands, and that's
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: why Trump didn't like to wear well.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: There are multiple matches for Brondo, according to the Google Machine,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: a fictional drink from the movie Idiocracy, a real energy drink,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: and a brewery kettle sour pale wheat ale real energy drink.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: It's amino acid activator. Apparently, there's a lot of different
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: definitions of it. So you want to You told me
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: last night, though they let me see it. You told
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: me last night. And you've kind of gone back and
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: forth because different information becomes available. But last night, when
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: you came in with me on the WCHS coverage before
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: we started, you said to me at about six forty
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: five last night, Trump's gonna win this thing.
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: And I told Hope that almost a week ago. Yeah,
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: And because you could tell by the moods of the campaign.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: And I think that he he ended every every one
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: of his rallies with and all his public appearances. Are
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: you better off now than you were four years ago?
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: And the answer to that is obviously not. And Vice
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: President Harris never offered a solution to that or really anything.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: There's just no there there. I hate now that's over.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I can say that, you know, to comment from Martha
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Radditts of ABC News on the radio this morning, she said,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: and they asked her for her take on it, and
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: she said that she felt the voters never really got
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: to know Kamala Harris. I don't agree with that, Danny,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: and I'll tell you why, because she's been in public
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: life for most of her adult life in.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: One way or the other.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: She's been the vice president, she ran a failed campaign before.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: If you didn't know Kamala Harris, that's on you now. Granted,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: some of her her views have changed a little bit
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: when she ran for president.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: That makes her worse. But yeah, I agree.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: But if you say you don't know who Kamala Harris
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: was and voters were confused by it or whatever, I mean,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: it's all out there.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't buy.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of respect for Martha Radditts, but
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with what she said there at all,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: because it's all out there, Danny.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: What and whether it's right or wrong, the whole all
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: those court cases called law fair, that's what the Republicans
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: call it. Yeah, that works in Trump's favor.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: I agreed.
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: Now, I still got a bunch of them.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Head, I've got a.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Sentencing November twenty seventh. As a matter of fact, Well
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, that's what it is.
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: That's what the chat smith could try to put him
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: on in the dock in d C before he takes office.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean we got a lot of We
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: had a lot of stuff that's going to happen between
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: now and inauguration.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: I mean yeah, And a lot of people got a
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: thumb in their eye last night.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Who sold his people took a thumb in the eye your.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: George Stephanoflis, Jonathan Carl, Martha Rabbits. You know, I'll flip
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: everyone watch MSNBC. I never I don't think I've ever
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: watched it.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: I did the same thing when I went home last night.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: It wasn't bad, No, it wasn't bad. And they had
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: a guy that was doing all the handicapping. He was
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: over working on desk by himself, and he.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Was really good.
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: He was saying why the victories were coming in like this,
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: and who won the county before, and how much they
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: wanted by and this is a good bell weather for
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: trun The god was really good. But I never saw
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: any breakdowns. Now what they would do, and they did
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: this on NBC and on ABC. They said, well maybe if, maybe, if, maybe,
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: if Grandma had been built a little differently, she'd been Grandpa,
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: you know. But it was it all came down to Pennsylvania.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: And as you said it would last night, you said,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: that's Pennsylvania. What did you post on Facebook, Danny, Pennsylvania's
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: the whole Enchilader, big, the big Inchilode. Yeah, and it
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: turned out to be out it was, And it's the
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: new inch Lootte. Because it used to be for Republicans
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: you had to carry Ohio and Florida to win the presidency.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Now it's Pennsylvania. Uh, and Trump can carry it. I'm
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: not sure any other Republican can. But the good news
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: out of Pennsylvania. Forget Trump for a minute. They are
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: going to send a superstar to the United States Senate
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: and his name is David McCormick. And you couldn't do
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: any better than this guy. I've been watching him for
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: a long time and he got beat in the primary
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: because Trump wanted doctor Oz last time.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: But he is really good, David. Yes, and they you know,
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: of course, shared Brown. I think they're going to have
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: about fifty three fifty three Republican senators, and that may
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: be enough to do a majority. Because you got two
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: Maverick senators, one Susan Collins, and the other is the
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: one from Alaska, and she's worse, right, Susan Collins, you
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: might be able to hold in the fold.
• 45:16

  Speaker 2: Seven minutes away from ten Dave Allen, Danny Jones here
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: talking election last night. Heymy, I want to get your
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: your take on this. This was something that was in
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: the Washington Post at a friend of mine. Screenshot of
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: the sent to me it says House Democrats said, the
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party has a major working class voter issue. It
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: started a decade ago as a working class white issue.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: It's now gotten even worse and spread across racial wines. Now,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's that that didn't say, but a
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: off the record a House Democrats said Democratic Party has
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: a major working class voter issue. It started a decade
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: ago as a working class white issue. It's now gotten
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: even worse and spread across racial line.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: Well Mark Penn, who's a former Clinton polster and a
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: Democrat talking head on Fox, he said pretty well the
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: same thing. He said, we have to get back to
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: the mainstream or middle of American politics instead of catering
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: to the left fringe. And of course the problem with
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: that is they're going to have AOC turned into Marjorie
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: Taylor Green if they do that. So that's a problem
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: for them. It's a problem for Republicans too, because you
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: got these people in the House, people like Marjorie Taylor Green,
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: Nancy May So, what's that guy from Florida with the
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: high forehead that gets yeah. I mean, they're interested in
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: their own thing.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: They're interested in their own brand.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: They're not interested in helping the Republican Party or helping
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: the country. That's my feeling.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: But they aalance showing five eighty life brought to you
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: right by Husbands Pizza where a Hustin's large at inch
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Pepperoni pizza and a Pizza Dia only twenty one ninety nine.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Textas ask Danny, when do we start rioting?
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: You know what, maybe it won't happen this time.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe Peter when he told me that Al Sharpton spoke
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: on MSNBC or something and said.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: There will be no riots. There will be good for him. Yeah,
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: because they shouldn't, because we're going to accept.
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: This, you know.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: And I just always hope with President Trump because I'm
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: not a supporter, and I always hope that he'll behave
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: and quit punching down at people. That's his biggest that's
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: his biggest sin. He punches down at people. Yep. And
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: it's really it's hard to take and it's not fair
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: because he's he's the top dog, and you know, punching
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: down like that. Uh uh, Liz Cheney, I mean, you
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: don't be a sore winner. Man.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, you know, I've made my my
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: feelings on President Trump.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Well, known.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: I was a supporter, voted for him twice, can no
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: longer support him. However, he is my president, and I'm
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of old school that way that Joe Biden,
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: whom I did not vote for, did not support, did
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: not support his policies, was my president. Kamala Harris, had
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: she been elected, would have been my president. That's kind
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: of the way this whole American thing works. Danny, Yeah,
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: it works.
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: Here's what I'm afraid of. They're gonna mess up his inauguration.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: In other words, last time who uh the left and
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: the way they'll do it. Anybody that he tries to
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: get to perform, they'll say, you go there and we're
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: gonna ruin your well.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: I mean you know it's gonna be Lee Green. What
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be wholek Cogan.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: I mean you can pretty much go ahead and and
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: and and and and write it down.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Now that's who it's gonna be. Well last time, no man, I.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Mean am I and I could be wrong. I don't
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: think any quote unquote main and we'll all do respect
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: to Lee Green. What the guy's not how to hit
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: in thirty five forty years. I don't know that you're
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: gonna get a a list celebrity.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I want to perform.
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: Last time he had Garth Brooks and they got to
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: him and he said, sorry, I can't do it. Andrew Richelli,
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: the blind opera singer, can't do it.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: It used to be and things like that, they were
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: for everybody. It was an honor to be asked to
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: do that. And it wasn't an endorsement of the political candidate,
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: For me, it's for everybody.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Let me read a text here.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: While I voted for none of the Republicans that won,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: as a text, I'm not sad they won. I think
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: the future In the future, many problems are going to
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: service based on the amount of tax cuts and moneys
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: needed to solve problems.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: In West Virginia. The problems are many and will not
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: solve themselves.
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: Danny, Yeah, I get yeah, you're right.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Do you like the way that I mean, give me
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: your opinion of the way West Virginia's handed right now,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: because again Patrick.
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: Morrison run out of money.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Patrick Morris is going to be your governor. Jim Justice,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: at least for a while, is going to be in Washington.
• 51:40
  Speaker 13: Uh.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: More seats were picked up Super duper, duper majority now.
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: And you think West Virginia is gonna run out of money,
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: I think it's gonna come to that.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what I think they're gonna have to do.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: I think they're going to have to privatize Pei.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: It's been talked about before, the way which used.
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: To be pe I B.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: And I think they're gonna have to privatize it, put
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: it off onto Blue Cross or somebody like that, and
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: then it you know, it's gonna be h It's gonna
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: be tough on the employees because then the government can say, well,
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: look that's them. We can't make that up now, because
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: they control it. The government controls it, they can make
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: it up.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Let me throw this in here, the impact of Special
