Wait, let's bring in our good friend Hannah Gardner from the Canaal Charleson Jumaine
2:46
Association with this week's Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week. Hannah, Good
2:51
morning, Welcome to the show. Good morning, how are you? I'm
2:54
fine? Are you a Will you be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday?
3:01
Probably a little bit and then a little bit not a little bit. Are
3:05
you one of those people that just wants to see the commercials with a halftime
3:07
show or do you even care one way or the other. I'm just more
3:12
so there for the family gathering. Okay, all right, the food aspect
3:15
is what got handhand? Is that what you're saying? Yep? All right,
3:20
all right? So what's the what's your favorite when it comes to the
3:23
Super Bowl party? What is your what's your favorite to go to dish?
3:27
That's what? Yeah, I think I think if you did a nationwide pol
3:30
and it sounds like something that maybe the guys on hotline would do. Uh,
3:35
what is your your favorite super Bowl thing? It probably would be buffalo
3:38
chicken dip. That that's probably what everybody would say. Let's get to why
3:42
you're here and we can always talk about buffalo chicken dip and I'm not I'm
3:45
not opposed to that, but let's talk about our adopt me please pet of
3:49
the week. His name is aunt Man. There's always story posted or the
3:53
picture, I should say, post a little story as well. Posted to
3:55
Dave Island Radio on Facebook and at Dave A seventy The Dave Alan Show on
4:00
Twitter or the artists from the known Twitter now known as X tell us about
4:03
aunt Man, Hannah. All Right, so aunt Man, he is a
4:09
nail. He is a puppy. He is around I believe three Peter Talton
4:15
on four ish months old, So he is a puppy puppy, and he
4:19
is microchipped and he is vaccinated, so he is definitely looking for his forever
4:27
home. He is a puppy, so we don't know too much about his
4:30
background. However, we do know that he does prefer playful dogs. He
4:35
loves playing with other dogs. He's a social butterfly. He definitely loves people
4:40
as well. He's got a lot of energy. So someone who either someone
4:46
or a couple or family who is ready to take on a puppy who wants
4:50
to play has a lot of energy. Maybe they're looking for a puppy that
4:56
they want to start taking outside a lot or something and maybe on or traveling
5:00
or something. I feel like aunt Man would be a good one for that.
5:04
But he is kid friendly from what we have seen and what we have
5:08
witnessed. But of course with any dog, any puppy, we always about
5:13
cautions. But he is looking for us forever home. And we are excited
5:16
for him. He's I think he's somewhere like maybe ten fifteen pounds or something.
5:21
But he is a good dog. He just needs a good home.
5:26
Well, he's a beautiful dog. Any idea what kind of dog he is?
5:30
No, gosh, he looks like he's got some specific kind of breeds,
5:33
and I'm not I mean, with most of the puppies that we have
5:36
currently, a lot of them look like they have like some form of carrier,
5:43
whether it's like a Staffordshire Terrier or pitbull terrier or something like that,
5:47
but they definitely look like they have some form of that. However, this
5:53
little man looks like he's got a bunch of other things. So I couldn't
5:57
tell you honestly how big a dog approximately do you think he'll be? I
6:00
mean, I know it's kind of hard to tell. He's four months old
6:02
right now, but is he going to be a media? Would you consider
6:05
what he's going to be in the endgame, like like a medium size larger
6:09
dog? What do you think? Yeah? I think that he isn't going
6:13
to be like large. I would say more of a medium. Now,
6:16
everybody's small, medium and large is different. I've learned that over the course
6:21
of years. It depends on whether you live in an apartment or a twenty
6:27
room house. As to how big the dog is, I guess right,
6:30
right, right, But I think an man would be no more than sixty
6:34
pounds. I wouldn't say, but even if he reaches that, it's hard
6:40
to say with not knowing what he is. He's definitely a cute man.
6:45
And he's got a little bit of like grussy like hair on his face.
6:48
So he's got a beard. Is that what you're saying? He has a
6:54
beard? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got like a beard, but
6:59
it's like a liary hair. Oh okay, oddly enough, oddly enough,
7:02
my grandmother had the same thing. But but but but but nonetheless, uh
7:06
ant Man is the dog's name. And so where does an am an man
7:11
come from? Any idea? Honestly, I have no idea. I know
7:15
that they in our admissions department, they have lists that they take from like
7:20
the employees are on the shelter, or like friends and family, or if
7:24
you ever want to bring in a list of some name ideas or something,
7:28
as long as their name is appropriate or anything. But they will definitely take
7:33
the man. And we love having name ideas if you had definitely bring them
7:39
by well. And I think that would maybe something that we could tie the
7:41
kids in with as well, because eventually, I mean, not every dog
7:44
can be you know, can be named Rex, you know, I mean
7:46
you gotta, you gotta like kind of you know, shake it up a
7:49
little different time. Maybe it's something when you have your kids groups up there,
7:53
you could ask them to come up with names for And again with Pats,
7:56
it's kind of like most people will take a look at him and say,
7:58
okay, this is you know he or she looks like this or whatever.
8:01
That's why, you know why. Uh we had my wife and I
8:03
had a cat for years that was jet Black. So her name was was
8:07
Midnight you know. Uh so but that maybe something week. What do we
8:11
gotta do to get a pet up there named Coop? Who's who's producing the
8:16
show today? What do we have to do for that? I will tell
8:18
them, And then when they name the next dog that comes in the Scoop,
8:22
I will send you a picture of it and I'll let you shoot all
8:24
right, all right, it sounds good. I want to ask you a
8:26
couple of quick questions before we let you go. Uh, and of course,
8:30
you know, aunt man came in as a stray, and we know
8:33
all the time if you follow your social media that you'll you'll, matter of
8:35
fact, you normally do a little collage of like today's strays and so on
8:39
and so forth, and people I've seen on the on your social media will
8:43
comment on that and they, let's say, well, you know, I'd
8:46
like to adopt a particular pet, which is a good thing, don't get
8:50
me wrong, But what is the procedure for the strays? How long do
8:52
you hold them and before they become available for adoption? And the second part
8:58
of that quite S'm gonna make you work today. Second part of that question
9:01
is how does one go about claiming an and an animal that may belong to
9:05
them? You know, let's say I live in South Charleston and my dog
9:09
or cat you know, gets out and I think that is mine that's being
9:13
posted on there. How would I go about I mean, other than just
9:18
a phone call, what do I need to do to say that, hey,
9:20
that's mine? Or the first part of the question was is if I
9:24
want to adopt one, what's the whole period on strays? Yeah, so
9:30
tray's whenever they come in, they legally, under West Virginia Code laws,
9:35
they have to go on a stray hold for five days. Now, that
9:39
is five full, twenty four hour days. That's not just like workdays,
9:46
so it's technically it doesn't include the first day that they come in because they
9:50
could come in in the middle of the day or the beginning of the day,
9:52
so it doesn't include the first day or that very last day. So
9:56
technically, if you really think about it, it's about like a full week
10:01
before they're available. So if you want to reclaim an animal, then all
10:07
you'll need to do is you can tell us. You can look on our
10:09
website. However, I always recommend if you have a missing dog and you're
10:16
just gonna wait it out and chat to post about it or anything that is
10:20
a okay, However, I recommend coming out to the shelter very first thing
10:24
and maybe keeping an eye out for the whole time that you're looking for your
10:28
dog, like check on our website, and then whenever you find it,
10:33
if we do have it, you can bring up some evidence that it is
10:37
yours, some proof whether it's vet records, very clear pictures that we can
10:41
see, like any sponsor marks that is obvious that it's your dogs. Any
10:48
any kind of like backstory, records of video, just anything that shows that
10:52
is proof of yours. And then we need your well of course. Well
10:56
and then you could also start by it, you know, as based you
11:00
can't try to get your your pet microchipped as well. Yes, yes,
11:03
and also every dog that comes in, even when it's astray, if it's
11:07
not already microchips, we microchip it, okay for future use in the case
11:13
that happens again, what happens to get loose again and comes back to the
11:16
shelter, we know that it's already registered to you, and we can just
11:20
call you and say, hey, we have your dog again. He's back
11:22
in jail. Come get back in jail again. He's a repeat offender.
11:26
Got a text here waiting for you. Hannah says, which dog or cat
11:31
have been at the shelter the longest? Now you may not know that off
11:33
the top of your head, but are there any that the kind of stick
11:37
out that have been there the longest? I know that there is one dog
11:41
that I can think of off the top of my head, and her name
11:45
is in Nez. She should still be there. I don't think she's gotten
11:50
adopted yet or anything. However, she is a very very very sweet girl.
11:54
She's a black and white dog. If you're on our website, you
11:58
can just look up a Nez. It's a inn e Z. I knows
12:01
she is one of them. We had quite a few, quite a handful
12:05
that are long term residents currently. So if you go on our website adopt
12:11
Charleston dot com and you go to our Meet the Dog section, if you
12:16
look at the filters, you can filter it from like who's been there the
12:20
longest day, and who's been there the shortest day, and whoever comes up
12:24
first. I think Lola, Zoe and z are going to be the top
12:26
one. Okay, well, it's very good. I didn't know that you
12:28
had that feature on her. That's that's very good. A couple of good
12:31
things before we let you go. Valentine's Day is coming up. Happy Valentine's
12:33
Day. By the way, tell me about this love is Blind thing that
12:37
you folks have been doing for Valentine's Day. So we have love this blind
12:43
kind of It's not necessarily like an event where you can come in and do
12:46
anything. It is just more so where we are posting on our social media
12:52
blacking out the dog and then telling you about the dog without saying like the
12:56
dog's name or anything like that, So we kind of give you like a
13:01
love is blind feature without being able to know who the dog is. We
13:05
tell you all about the dog, so you don't have like that first look
13:07
judgment, so then you kind of know all about the dog. And if
13:13
you are interested in the dogs, then you can come up, or you
13:16
can just call us and ask us you know which one it is that we're
13:20
talking about, or we can meet, like if you want to come straight
13:24
up to the shelter, we can do like a meet and greet with you
13:26
and the dog, and you get to kind of just learn who the dog
13:28
is, see who the dog is, and maybe you want to foster it
13:31
and take it home for the weekends. It's kind of more so just to
13:35
get a lot of the dogs that maybe aren't getting it as much of a
13:39
tension as we would like them to a chance I found in a home as
13:43
well, or even just a foster. Right, And speaking of Valentine's that
13:46
you've been doing a thing, and this will be the last thing we'll cover
13:48
before we let you go. You've been doing a thing where you can make
13:50
a donation to the shelter and get a Valentine from a shelter pet. Yeah,
13:56
so we actually have Valentine's Sake cards that we are sending out and we
14:01
have like a certain dog's picture in it with a little Vale quote from them.
14:09
So it's like you're getting the Valentine's Fay cards from one of our shelter
14:11
pets. So definitely it's just a small little donation. So if you want
14:16
that little cute card from a shelter pet, then definitely check out our social
14:20
media and our website and do it. And it's going to be really,
14:24
really cute. And we've already sent a good handful of them out, all
14:26
right, And again more information about that on their social media and also on
14:30
their website. Hannah, as always, I appreciate you joining us. We'll
14:33
talk again soon. Thanks a lot, thank you. And a gardener again
14:37
from the Canal Charles Humane Association. Again the pet we're trying to get adopted,
14:41
ant Man. He is almost four months old, came in as astray.
14:46
Hannah doesn't seem to think that he's going to be a really big dog,
14:50
probably a medium sized dog. He's been at the shelter, as I
14:52
said, taken in as a trace Ince October. Not fixed yet but will
14:56
be. Would be a great pet for kids. He seems to love kids,
15:00
and he also seems to do pretty well. There's always exceptions to that,
15:03
but always seems to seems to be doing pretty well with other dogs,
15:05
So would make it a great family pet. Loves other dogs, seems to
15:09
love kids. Still learning on the least, Sannah told us, but that'll
15:13
take some time. Again, he's only four months old. So if you're
15:16
interested in ant Man, the ant Man's picture is posted on my social media
15:20

welcome to the show. Good morning, Thank you for having us,
18:47
and coach thank you for being here as well. All Right, so Stephanie,
18:51
let's start with you. You you're kind of an old hand at this,
18:53
You've done this several times on the show before. We're excited about season
18:57
two. I'm really excited about season two. Season one came and gone.
19:03
I thought we had a really, really good season. We actually made it
19:06
to the first round of the playoffs, so that's always a goal and something
19:08
we achieved for the first year. Had some great support from some local guys
19:12
here and in great support from the TBL, the Basketball League, which is
19:18
the league that we play in. So we've got some great recognition for our
19:22
team last year, as well as some recognition for our venue in West Virginia
19:26
State University, beautiful facility and our production team, so great season. It's
19:32
an amazing facility, and I mean hats off to coach Poor and those folks
19:34
over there, and that I mean again, I spent four days over there,
19:38
and you just can't ask for a better facility to play basketball. I
19:41
mean, the coliseum and convention Center is awesome, but this is also in
19:45
a different kind of way. It really is kept. Let me talk to
19:48
you a little bit. First time you've been on the show, Coach Wayne
19:49
Casey, talk about your background and how you get involved in all this.
19:55
I started in twenty thirteen with the IBL and the PBO, and then moving
20:00
forward, I've been coaching for about ten fifteen years. So now I got
20:04
the opportunity to work with the West Virginia Grind and I'm really excited about it.
20:11
It's going to be a great season for what you told me, Stephanie
20:14
actually said to me off the air. You said we're going to be really
20:18
good this year. And every coach says that coming in, and every PR
20:22
person whatever says that coming in, But you really mean it, Coach.
20:26
I'll tell you this. I'll say this on paper right now. I think
20:29
will be really good. But paper's just nothing. Paper. Why they play
20:34
the games. I give us some of the important dates that people need to
20:38
know about your opening day, training camp, things of that nature. Training

camps actually next week, so we're kicking that off on Friday for a couple
20:45
of days, and we'll have that roster submitted to the TBL by February twenty
20:51
first, so that will be the grand boom. There's the West Virginia grind
20:55
for the upcoming season. Are Our first home game is March the eight.
21:00
We're going to have ten home games played at West Virginia State University. We've
21:03
got twelve on the road this year, so we'll be traveling again a couple
21:07
of different teams in the conference that we're playing this year. We'll be traveling
21:10
to Cincinnati and Louisville, back up to Indiana where we played a few games.
21:15
But Frederick, Maryland has a new team this year and we'll be playing
21:18
them, and in Raleigh, North Carolina will be playing there and the TBL
21:23
this year they separated off into another league to encompass more Canadian teams. We
21:30
actually go to Canada for a two game series, so we'll be going up
21:33
there for a week mid April. No part of Canada We're going to be
21:37
going to Windsor and London, Canada for our teams, but they've got them
21:41
all throughout the place Canada. I was going to ask about when you think
21:45
Canada, people think you know hockey and they think baseball and a certain extending
21:48
football of course. So basketball is pretty big in Canada, is really really
21:52
big. I know there's a lot of Canadian players that have played at the
21:53
NBA. Really big and if you know, the Canadian national team is really
21:57
really good. Basketball getting really big in Canada. Yeah, indeed it is.
22:02
Again we're talking with the kitchwayn Casey and also our good friend Stephanie Casey
22:06
from the West Virginia Grind and training camp begins, as you said, next
22:10
week and then tip off is when's the first game again? The first one
22:11
game March March eight much explain and you did this a little bit, but
22:15
explain the league again to us and what this league is? What level of
22:19
basketball we're talking about? Folks go out to a grind game and I know
22:22
you don't want to get into specific players. I don't mean that, but
22:26
what are they primarily looking at? As far as the players go pro basketball,
22:29
you're looking at a level of pro basketball as you would be looking at
22:33
Tripway double a baseball. Okay, same aspect, and you've got some players
22:38
that have what's the average age of a player in your league. I'll let
22:44
the GM go with them anywhere from eighteen to mid thirties. This is the
22:48
West Virginia Grind as a team in the TBL, the Basketball League, and
22:53
it's a showcase league. The objective of this league is to get these guys
22:57
their film, great film and great stats so that they are a stepping stone
23:02
to either go overseas in the G League in the NBA. So the TBL
23:07
has some players that actually just jumped and went to the NBA. Last year,
23:11
four of our guys went overseas, so it is really an opportunity for
23:15
them to build their resume again professional so you're paid for it, but you're
23:18
also building that resume in the meantime. Half of the objective for this league
23:22
is to do the community service. While you are here in Charleston playing for
23:26
the West Virginia Grind in the state of West Virginia, you're invested in the
23:30
community, doing things for kids, doing things for other people, and really
23:34
putting some programs together to be impactful. And I want to talk about the
23:37
buying from the community and with the kids too, because again, if anything
23:41
like this is going to be successful, whether it's is, whether it's baseball,
23:45
whatever in a smaller area, what Charleston is, you got to have
23:48
a buy in from the community and you got to get these kids involved.
23:52
And I know last year over at the part of our shootout, I was
23:56
talking to you over there last year and when people saw some of the people
23:59
with the gear and on, these little kids take a look at that,
24:02
they're kind of in awee, like yeah, and they want to know all
24:04
about it. So you got to get this kids involved for sure. For
24:07
sure, we're able to partner with the after school care programs. Some of
24:10
my players went last year and they're signing shoes and shirts. So apologize to
24:14
the parents that came home with in shirt that had my players' names on it,
24:17
but they were excited about that. Well that's that's part of it,
24:19
you know. It's part of Again, we're talking with the VOCs for the
24:22
West Virginia to grind. To Dave Allen Show on five eighty Live is brought
24:25
to you parted by bright Way Insurance Amaze Agency of Tays Valley. Brightway offers
24:29
up to two million dollars in life insurance from all the top carriers at about
24:32
ten minutes with the ninety five percent approval rate and no medical exam. See
24:34
them for all detail. Start a quote today at Brightwaymays dot com. So
24:38
where are we at this point on the roster? I know we can't talk
24:41
about specific players or anything, but where are we in the in the calendar
24:45
of things as far as the rosters get training camp starts next Friday, and
24:48
it'll be a it looks like it'll be twenty five people that we'll pick from
24:53
and we'll go down to somewhere within between ten and twelve. Now, can
24:57
people still try out or do you just say that invitation only? How does
25:00
that work? Yes? Yes, they still try out? Okay, Friday
25:03
starts at four o'clock. Okay. The gym will be TBA for right now.
25:07
Okay, we'll let that out soon next week. Okay. And you
25:11
guys do a great job on your on your websites and social media and things
25:14
of that nature. So if you don't follow them on social media, make
25:17
sure that you do, because you get and I share as much as I
25:19
can. I'm on my social media as well. I had a question here
25:22
about the tickets. Somebody wanted to know how much are tickets. So tickets
25:26
for the adults are going to be ten dollars again this year, and any
25:30
student, no matter if you're in kindergarten or through college, they'll be half
25:33
off. Okay. And I would imagine too that you probably have a lot
25:37
of mom's, dads, grandparents and coaches that like to bring the kids out
25:41
as a group, you know, like we used to call it when I
25:45
was growing up, the bud League teams. I'm not really sure what they
25:47
call it now, but but do you like to bring those teams out and
25:49
get people involved at an early age. Absolutely, And we will be giving
25:52
some tickets out in the community here in the upcoming days. Once we get
25:56
our guys here in the area, they'll be running around doing that. And
26:00
last year we had some sponsors that also paid money to give free tickets to
26:03
kids, so we're looking forward to that more sponsors to do that as well.
26:07
Yeah, that was gonna be My next thing was to talk about sponsorship,
26:10
because again I talked about the buying from the community, but you got
26:11
to have the dollars as well. If somebody's listening to us right now,
26:15
a business owner or manager of any kind, and they want to get involved
26:19
with the Grind, tell us about the sponsorship. So we have a couple
26:22
of different packages. We ran some summer camps last year Coach did with a
26:26
couple of players, so we were able to do that for some after school
26:29
kids. And then we did some third base with the Department of Education and
26:33
worked in the schools during the season last year as well. There's all different
26:37
types of sponsorships where we can provide tickets to those who can't afford it,
26:41
uniform sponsorships, halftime sponsorships, We're doing something a little bit different this year.
26:45
So there's really a lot of opportunity on our socials, on our commercials.
26:48
At West Virginia State, they have a beautiful scoreboard and on the board
26:52
you can have a commercial there. We're actually streamed on TBL Live TV,
26:56
which is broadcasted to over seventy four different country and then of course all throughout
27:00
the United States and Canada. We could actually put those commercials on there as
27:04
well, So there's there's really nice opportunity for that advertisement. All right,
27:07
let's kind of recap here before we let you go give us the important dates.
27:11
We get training camp, which starts next week. In opening day again
27:15
is when for all large eighth March eighth is for the home game that is
27:18
our opening day. We play. Who do we play in that opening game?
27:22
Lebanon LEAs. I love some of the names. I love something.
27:26
I mean, that's part of the appeal when it comes to even like with
27:29
with with some of the baseball teams. That's some of the people. What
27:30
are some of the nicknames some of the other teams. So Frederick, Maryland
27:33
is a new team in the league this year and they're called the Flying Cows.
27:37
The Flying Cows, Coop, did you get that? We got the
27:38
Flying Cows? Okay, who else we got? We got the Pontiac Pharaohs
27:42
this year. They'll be uh, they're there in Michigan, so we'll be
27:47
playing them. We've got the Derby City Distillers. We've got Raleigh Firebirds for
27:52
sure, and then we have a we play Cocomo. Bob Katz will be
27:56
playing them again. There's a team in Cincinnati. And then we said the
28:00
Living On the Warriors. Flying Cows I think wins Flying ca I think flying

28:08

31:37
for Americans for Prosperity is here. Jason, Good morning, Welcome to the
31:41
show. Hey Dave, thanks for having me. Did you get all excited
31:44
listening to talk about the West Virginia grind? You're ready to go play a
31:45
little basketball? You know, my eye hand coordination isn't that great. I
31:48
played defensive line when I played call, so yeah, I got you.
31:52
Now I can I can run, or at least I used to. I
31:56
can run and dribble. Just don't ask you to do at the same time.
31:57
Shoot, bubble gum a walk. That's not I can't multitask very well.
32:01
Let's talk about the session first. How's the session been so far?
32:05
You know, it's interesting and I keep telling folks this. This is only
32:07
the second instance in which Republican majorities have been in a lame duck session.
32:13
Now, a lame duck session is when the governor's term limited and on the
32:15
way out. So the first time that happened back in twenty sixteen, it
32:21
was Earl Ray Tomlin leaving office and Republicans helped send him into retirement by overriding
32:25
a bunch of vetos on really important policy like right to work and the repeal
32:29
of prevailing wage. Excellent session. This session is a little bit different because
32:34
you have obviously Jim Justice, who's term limited, leaving office and running for
32:38
the United States Senate. And it's just a little bit different of an environment
32:43
because instead of having you know, fifty four or so Republicans in the House,
32:45
you've got eighty eight and likewise more Republicans in the Senate. So it's
32:51
been interesting to see them try to navigate this session a little bit quieter of
32:55
a session than perhaps we're used to, probably because we're in an election.
33:00
Got a little loud yesterday though. Yeah, yeah, you'll have a certain
33:02
amount of that on day thirty. But overall, overall, overall, it's
33:07
been a quiet session. You guys have already announced that you are endorsing Attorney
33:12
General Patrick Morrissey for governor. First of all, let me ask you,
33:15
did you have to listen to the debate earlier this week that Hobby did from
33:19
Blade Springs. Sure your takeaway from that, yes, certainly we were tuned
33:22
in, and you know, I think listen. Patrick Morrissey's pitch is pretty
33:25
simple. Do you want to be the most competitive state when it comes to
33:29
the policies on the books, when it comes to freedom, opportunity, and
33:32
prosperity, that's his pitch. If you want to be the best, if
33:36
you want to compete in a meaningful way with the other states and strive for
33:39
greatness in policy, that's his pitch to the West Virginians, and I think
33:44
it's a strong pitch. He's also singled himself out as a guy who's got
33:47
the guts and experience to go after those kind of policies and win, and
33:52
so I think it's an extremely strong pitch to the people of West Virginia.
33:55
I mean, I think you would more than likely agree, with all due
33:58
respect to Steve Williams, the fine mayor of the city of huntingtend that one
34:01
of those four people that was on the stage, Glade Springs is going to
34:06
is going to be the next governor, to say to West Virginia. I
34:07
mean, that's certainly where I am on that, regardless of what happens.
34:12
But I've noticed that mister Morrissey says a lot. I'm not taking an issue
34:15
with him, it's just a fact he says a lot. He kind of
34:16
points to himself as being the only true conservative on stage, or the most
34:21
conservative. I mean, the other three are pretty conservative as well, would
34:23
you think, uh, I mean, well, in terms of folks trying
34:25
to out conservative one another, you know, that's the gamesmanship of a Republican
34:30
primary. It is, But to some extent, I think when you talk
34:32
about the impact that some of these individuals have had I mean Patrick Morrissey again
34:39
Waterseed, the United States rule where we were trying to be overregulated by the
34:44
EPA, West Virginia v EPA at the United States Supreme Court. The things
34:49
that he has accomplished as Attorney General have not had just a significant impact here,
34:52
but all across the country. I mean, those are some rulings that,
34:55
frankly are some of the biggest strikes against the administrative state in our lifetimes.
35:01
So I think he's got pretty solid credentials in terms of the transformational change
35:07
he's made. Jason hoppin from Americans for Prosperities here, the Dave Allen Show
35:10

slash apprenticeships for more information. All right, Jason, you're here to announce
35:32
a couple of more endorsements for the upcoming primary election. So I will let
35:37
you take it from there, sir. Well, we've endorsed a couple of
35:39
folks for a House of Delegates. And you know, Dave, sometimes you
35:44
just get candidates who are newcomers to politics, and they're exciting because their resumes
35:50
are so distinguished and they already have such an outsized role when it comes to
35:53
serving the people of West Virginia. And so Tristan Levitt and House District fifty
35:59
three. Tristan comes to this with really kind of unrivaled knowledge when it comes
36:04
to the processes of protecting federal whistleblowers. He's got a decade of experience investigating
36:10
waste, fraud, and abuse and corruption at the federal level. And now
36:15
he's been tapped to serve as the president of Empower Oversight, which is a
36:17
nonprofit that represents federal whistleblowers and documents and reports on government corruption. Just as
36:24
stellar candidate, somebody that as an attorney has distinguished himself and I think that
36:30
he'll make just a fantastic addition to the House of Delegates. The other gentleman,
36:35
extremely well known in Kanall County. Mark Carter running for House District fifty
36:39
seven. Mark is a partner at the Dinsborg Law Firm. Really, he's
36:45
distinguished hisself as one of the most prominent labor lawyers in the United States.
36:50
I mean he's advised and represented employers all throughout the country collective bargaining, arbitration,
36:54
federal litigation involving labor unions, and really servingmployers and employment litigation. He's
37:02
testified before the US House of Representatives the Senate because his expertise have wanted up
37:07
there. And really he was appointed by both President Trump and President Bush to
37:14
serve on the Federal Services in Passes Panel, which essentially handles this use between
37:20
federal employees, the federal government and labor unions. So just a wealth of
37:24
experience. The guy has commit a contributor to policy throughout his time in West
37:29
Virginia, and I think that he will be a significant actor when it comes
37:32
to being in the House of Delegates. Just a leader. Again, we're
37:37
talking with Jason Hoffman for Americans for Prosperity announcing that they are endorsing Tristan Levitt
37:42
into Republican primary District fifty three and Mark Carter in District fifty seven. Editors
37:45
know Tristan Levitt has been on the show a few times in the past.
37:49
Mark Carter is going to be on the show this coming Thursday, I think
37:52
it is, so we'll look forward to actually hearing from him. Can we
37:54
expect more endorsements from your group in the future. Yeah, we're certainly looking
37:58
all the way across the electoral mass. We just understand that in order to
38:01
continue to drive transformational policy in the state, we've got to stand up and
38:06
stand behind policy champions that want to get into the arena and fight and win
38:10
for policies that we know are proven to help people thrive. And so we're
38:15
going to continue to add races. We're going to continue to look particularly matchups
38:20
and primaries throughout the state and also some general races. So I would expect
38:23
to see more from us. And how exactly does that process work when you
38:28
choose to endorse. Obviously you have a pulse on who the players are,
38:32
and even if they're not involved in politics as of yet. You know,
38:37
you guys kind of have a wide net with a radar out there and you
38:40
kind of keep it an eye on people that are maybe coming up in the
38:43
game or whatever. What's the process like when you decide to endorse someone.
38:46
So it's essentially two factors. Is there a policy champion in the race,
38:51
and that means somebody that's not just a good vote on issues. That's somebody
38:54
that's a leader that's out in front, leading on issues, behind the scenes,
38:59
working with their colleagues to arrive at a principal policy position, really bring
39:02
those things to fruition. The second piece is can we make an impact?
39:07
And Dave, we've been growing organization. We've got over forty part time folks
39:12
that are out there knocking doors every day alongside of our activists, six full
39:15
time staff. Obviously, our deputy Cresse's been on the show hands a lot
39:19
of our communications work, Tyler Henry, who's our director of grassroots Operations.
39:22
Then we have Chase Long up in Morgantown working out of that region, Ambrose
39:28
Rucker who is up in the Eastern Panhandle, Ethan Louhart who is down here
39:31
in the Kanaw Valley working from here to cab and beyond. So we've grown
39:36
organization. We think that we can have an impact in most places, and
39:38
really when it comes to grassroots we've kind of got the market cornered. There's
39:42
not a lot of folks that are going door to door to talk about these
39:45
issues, and we think that is our bread and butter, because that is
39:46
the best way to connect to constituents and really bring them into the fold on
39:51
these issues. I know you primarily study the backgrounds of these individuals and what
39:57
they stand for and things of that nature, But does your organiz ever get
40:00
into other issues like social issues? How does that work? No, we
40:06
tend to stick to the economic issues. And here's why there's already a lot
40:09
of lead on target no pun intended. With some of the social issues out
40:14
there. There's a lot of organizations that work on those, but when it
40:16
comes to things like cutting taxes, making sure that every child has access to
40:22
the education that's right for them through educational freedom, there's not as much work
40:27
being done, and so we want to apply our comparative advantage to make sure
40:30
those issues are covered. They're brought to the forefront. And I think,
40:34

Tristan on this days ago, so he already knew it. Well. I
44:49
didn't say it was groundbreaking. I'm sure that these people were already informed that
44:54
Jason Huffman was going to go on the air, and they've already done press
44:58
releases about it. So I wasn't trying to break any news here. I
45:00

46:21
gonna do something a little bit different on the show. We do different very
46:24
well, I think on the show and try to mix it up a little
46:28
bit. A bunch of mayors from all around the state of West Virginia are
46:31
going to be in Charleston for a conference, and I've been in contact with
46:36
my buddy Travis Bosser with the West Virginia Municipal League. On Monday show,
46:40
we're going to have Mayor Monday on Steroids. We're going to have several mayors
46:45
from all around the state of West Virginia, some in this area and some
46:50
not from this area, are going to stop by the studio on Monday and
46:52
we're just going to talk about things going on in their town. But also
46:55
we're going to talk about some of the things we can learn, you know,
46:59
what's going on in Martinsburg that we could apply here in Charleston or South
47:04
Charlestown or Saint Albans or whatever the case may be. It's going to be
47:07
an interesting show, I think. Again, mayors from all around the sate
47:08
of West Virginia are going to be in studio with me. Thank goodness.
47:12
We have a big studio coming up on Monday. Looking forward to that's all
47:17
right. Let me see a couple of new news notes here, and then
47:22
we'll close it out and do us some texts to get to as well.
47:23
It looks like the public hearing on the fate of the postal distribution center at
47:28
South Ridge is back on. It now's a couple of days ago. I
47:31
just haven't had a chance to get to it. It is going to be
47:34
held on Valentine's Day this Wednesday evening six thirty at the Coddoseuma Convention Center,
47:38
and we'll have more information about the format and things of that nature coming out
47:42
next week. But again, that public hearing about the possible closure of the
47:46
Postal Service distribution center out at South Ridge, the public hearing is back on.
47:50
It will be Valentine's Day at six point thirty at the coddleseem Commissions Convention
47:54
Center. And again we'll have some more details on that coming up hopefully next
47:59
week. Texas so West FORRGIN'T needs a lot of infrastructure repair and building.
48:02
This requires tax money and governmental spending. How do Republicans plan to pay for
48:07
this as they cut taxes? Are they going to rely on federal government money
48:12
as they cut taxes and spend to fix an upgrade infrastructure Texas. That being
48:20
said, how about that awesome cognitive little presser last night by our fearless commander
48:24
in chief. God help us, question Mark says a texture Texas. I
48:30
thought Fridays were supposed to be politics free well, yeah, as you know,
48:36
I'm always I've been doing the show. This may will be four years
48:37
I've been doing the show, and I'm constantly changing and tweaking it, and
48:42
i can't leave well enough alone. So I decided to just kind of put
48:45
Friday Funhouse on a bit of a hiatus because it is the political season and
48:50
I'm hearing from all of these candidates that want to come on the show,
48:52
and I'm more than happy to have candidates on the show. Actually, I
48:54
will talk to two candidates before I went on the air today that we're text
49:00
me about getting their slot on the show. So after we get through the
49:02
election, we may we may look at it again. The day alland Showing

met last night. Commissioners provided the public with an update on the proposed Capital
49:25
Sports Center. Commissioners have approved five million dollars to be moved into an account.
49:30
There are buy ins from the City of Charleston as well. Commission Vincelango
49:35
said that they have secured the old Macy's building and they will start tearing it
49:39
down, probably weather permitting, things of that nature. Probably sometime around the
49:45
first of April. You're going to see that demolition project of the old Macy's
49:49
building adjacent to the town Center, and that'll take they say, about four
49:52
to six weeks. I actually talked with Commissioner Selango about it this morning,
49:55
and we're working on his schedule to try to get him on the show to
50:00
talk about it one day next week. Our long debate that got heated at
50:05
times over a school bill in the House. David Beard of the Morgantown Dominion
50:09
Post rights about it at wv metronews dot com. It's HB forty eight fifty
50:14
one and it allows a public or private school to hire armed security who are
50:21
either a former military or former law enforcement. And somehow, somehow that became
50:29
racial. I don't have time to really get into it. The story's posted
50:34
on the website wv metronews dot com. I'm not really quite sure how we
50:37
morphed into a school security bill becoming a racist thing. And I'm not pointing
50:44
fingers blaming either side. I'm just saying it is. It is what it
50:47
is to use the most over the most over cliche over cliche statement in the
50:53
world. Also, the Women's Rights Bill was debated heavily in the House yesterday
51:00
and it's all posted. Brad done a great job, and other media outlets
51:02
have as well. You can find that if you want to get into it.
51:07
Dear Dave, says a Texter, No worries Fridays weren't really that funny.
51:10
Well, you're probably right. I said fun house. I didn't say
51:13
it was funny and just funny. I'm trying to have a little fun all
51:16
right, And we'll close with this from the police blotder yesterday. A massage
51:20
parlor coop on a Corkle Avenue got busted yesterday fifty four to eleven. Charleston
51:25
Inc. Was the name of the place, not a sponsor of the Dave
51:29
Allen Show. By the way, they got busted for prostitution yesterday, So
51:32
