actually I was going to say we'll talk about that in that later,
2:22

2:49
Universal Academy, Doug, Good morning, Welcome back to the show. Morning
2:53
Dave. How are you to day doing fine? Thank you for being I'm
2:54
glad you were able to find a place to park out here. We're doing
2:57
some bit of remodeling on the outside. And as I was telling you and
3:00
Nick, who's in the green room, Nick quyn will be your next guest.
3:02
And it's kind kind of difficult sledding to get in on the lot here
3:07
today because we got remodeling going out. Plus Monday is always our busy day
3:10
here anyway, with meetings and whatnot. So I'm glad you were able to
3:15
make an end this morning. Yeah, me too. Thank you. You're
3:16
parked somewhere near Clendennon, but that's okay, you're here, right, You're
3:20
all right. I needed the exercise. So the sixty day Legslative session,
3:25
Doug just wrapped up Saturday night, or this week ago Saturday night a guest,
3:29
and I know there were some talking things like discipline and whatnot for more
3:32
traditional schools. Was there anything in particular about virtual schools addressed during the session
3:38
that interested you. There was lots of things that interest me, but I
3:43
think most importantly what I saw in the legislative session is there is a continued
3:49
support system for school choice in West Virginia, especially charter schools and virtual charter
3:54
schools. Nothing major really is going to impact us moving into the twenty four
4:00
to twenty five school year. But I think on both sides of the House
4:03
and the Senate, we just see continued support from our elected officials, and
4:10
for that, I'm really grateful. Now there was and I'm gonna talk about
4:14
this in entail a little bit later on the show if I get time.
4:15
And that's HB fifty one oh five, which was the vaccine bill that was
4:19
discussed, And again it's kind of a it's kind of a convoluted story.
4:25
I'll get into a little bit later on on the show, because Brad's got
4:28
a story posted about the lead story this morning at wv metronews dot com.
4:31
Any comment on vaccines or anything like that. My understanding is that virtual charter
4:38
schools were not a part of that. Okay, okay, all right,
4:41
all right, so you folks are going on the road, I understand,
4:44
Yes, tell me about this. So we have to test our students.
4:47
The Golden Horseshoe, that's the West Virginia History Test, and we'll be out
4:53
administering that test in the next couple of weeks. And because we have to
4:57
be in all parts of the state, because as you know, we have
5:00
students in all fifty five counties, what we decided to do is set up
5:04
in some coffee shops in the evenings so that if there are families who are
5:09
interested in learning what we have to offer, they just want to meet us,
5:13
they can come out. Our current students, they can come out and
5:15
meet us face to face, even though they see us all the time online.
5:19
We also understand that with this federal money that is no longer going to
5:23
be available next year, there's a lot of teachers and school personnel that are
5:28
now looking for new positions. Our school is growing. We actually just posted
5:32
ten new jobs last week. We're looking to hire probably another ten, so
5:38
twenty new positions going into next school year. And so if you're one of
5:42
those folks who is looking for a new position, we also wanted to make
5:45
ourselves available. So we've got a little road show starting on let's see on
5:50
the twenty first here in Charleston down at Kenall City at the Starbucks twenty fifth
5:57
we'll be at the Starbucks on Huntington, will be at del Monte Market up
6:00
in Elkins on the twenty fifth. We'll be at mug Shots on the twenty
6:04
fifth, and Wheeling the Joe and Fairmont on the twenty sixth, Lock Number
6:10
four on the twenty seventh, in Parkersburg, Chocolate Moose and Beckley on the
6:14
twenty seventh. You really are hitting all the coffee shops, aren't you.
6:16
Yep? And then and then we'll be in Martinsburg on the twenty eighth,
6:19
hitting the Starbucks right there on Foxcroft. Is there a place online where people
6:24
can get because you know, people listen to this show not just in Charles
6:27
Snarry, it's all over the state when they listen on the app. Is
6:30
there a place where you have an easy to look at list of those?
6:32
Yes, we do, so they can go to our website WVVA dot K
6:35
twelve dot com, or they can look us up on Facebook, which is
6:39
also linked on our website where this information is posted and it's a nice,
6:43
pretty little graphic that we've put together with it too. So if a parent
6:46
shows up, or maybe even you said you've got openings for the Virtual Academy,
6:50
if it's an educator that shows up, what's your selling point to them?
6:54
What do you tell them that they Maybe they just show up and say,
6:57
I'd like to have some more information about this, give me the highighlights.
7:00
Well, what do you tell them? One are some of the highlights
7:03
and selling points or whatever. We just share with them some student successes,
7:09
We share with them our philosophy on educating kids, and we talk about our
7:14
school culture. One of the things that we have at the school is really
7:16
built around solid relationships. And that's a lot different than what you find in
7:23
some brick and mortars. Is we really support one another. And we'll have
7:27
teachers, we'll have administrators, we have a wide variety of folks. And
7:30
what I always encourage interested parties is, if you really want to know what
7:33
it's like, all of our teachers are listed on our website. Reach out
7:38
to one of them directly and talk to them and they'll be able to tell
7:41
you what it's like to work at the school way better than I can.
7:45
Don't. Tripalletti is here the Dave Alan showing five Ana line brought to you
7:47
part by General Hardware of Windfield and Melted and General Number of Windfield. Whether
7:51
you're getting your home ready for warm weather, monster, you have a project
7:55
you're about to get under way. They can help locally owned and operated General
7:58
Hardware and General Lumber. Visit General Hardware WV dot com. Doug, I
8:01
understand that you're into open enrollment. Now, explain how that works. So
8:07
it's school choice, so there's no guarantee that families will enroll with us,
8:11
and so I think I've shared this before. It changes the way that you
8:15
think about your students and your families. You look at them as customers,
8:20
which is something that we pride ourselves on as providing excellent customer service. So
8:24
we ask our families that are currently enrolled, do you want to come back
8:28
next year? And they actually have to tell us they have to fill out
8:31
paperwork. So far, we have about twelve hundred students right now, and
8:35
a little over half of them have already told us yep, I want to
8:39
come back. I really like what's going on. We also have open enrollment,
8:43
and so we have just over sixty new families that have told us I
8:48
want to be with you next year, and we've the application window has only
8:52
been open for a few weeks, so to know going into next year,
8:56
we've got almost seven hundred kids. Considering where we start or did less than
9:00
two years ago, it's pretty pretty phenomenal. March Doug is Reading month,
9:07
so talk about that. What are you going on for that? Well,
9:11
you know, we're school, so we obviously celebrate Doctor Seuss's birthday. What
9:15
we've had recently is some some guest speakers come in. We had Lauren Trashes
9:22
come in and read. This week, we have Mandy Figley only she's coming
9:26
in and she's going to do Miss Maky in the Magic Bun And so we've
9:31
got a whole collaborative going on. We've got reading challenges with prizes, We've
9:35
got daily writing activities, we've got story hours where we actually have we've invited
9:41
parents to come in and do some some read alouds with the kids, and
9:48
just pretty pretty similar to what you're going to see across the board, just
9:50
really emphasizing how important reading is. It's all virtual, it's all virtual,
9:54
but I mean again, you can you can jump on a webcam. You
9:58
can do a read aloud in the same way that you can in a traditional
10:03
setting. Just you can see the person, you can see the book with
10:07
document cameras and still have that interaction where you can see kids faces and see
10:11
them light up whenever you're doing the voices or whatever it is when you're reading
10:16
the book and you're in the podcast business. Now, I understand trying to
10:20
you and everybody else. Well, I've been on your show enough that I
10:24
really enjoy what you do. And actually I did tell our marketing people I
10:28
would love to have you on our podcast at some point. Okay, so
10:31
is there pay involved. I can probably get you some chip clips or maybe
10:37
a T shirt. I was gonna sit, well, you had me at
10:39
chips, So just the chips, I'll be fine. Okay, Okay,
10:43
I'll bring baging Doritos and I'm yours, But go ahead and talk about the
10:45
podcast. So it's called the Digital Bridge, and what we're trying to do
10:50
is be a voice for school choice in West Virginia and bring on guests who
10:56
are four and against. You know, we're just trying to really open it
11:03
up to guests. Our first we had our first episode last month. Greg
11:05
Clutter, who was also our board treasurer, was on the initial podcast that
11:11
we recorded. Next week, we're hoping to have someone from the Cardinal Institute
11:16
and we're trying to get it set up on a monthly basis. Nothing too
11:20
overwhelming, maybe twenty thirty minutes where we just want to talk about what virtual
11:24
education done right in West Virginia is all about and bring on a variety of
11:30
guests that can bring a unique perspective to school choice in West Virginia. And
11:35
people could just get that from from their normal podcast provider, I guess,
11:39
or is it available on the website or well, I know it's on Spotify
11:41
and I know that they're putting it on the Apple podcast and they should be.
11:48
They should be able to easily get it and it is linked on our
11:52
website as well. All right, I understand. Also, and we'll let
11:54
you go with this. There's some sort of a national photo contest going on.
11:58
What's that all about? So a couple months ago there was a national
12:03
photo contest. And this is one of those things that I think is really
12:05
interesting is Stride K twelve runs all of these competitions, and it's not just
12:11
open for the K twelve supported schools. These are open to students all across
12:16
the board. And there was a photo contest that we had and this was
12:20
really really cool. One of our first grade students from Wood County actually got
12:28
second in her category and she got a new camera and five hundred bucks.
12:33
Sweet. And so there was thousands of submissions and to have a little first
12:37
grader when was pretty awesome. That's awesome. That's good stuff right there.
12:43
Yeah, it's all about engagement. I mean, no matter what kind of
12:46
education you're talking about, getting them involved in something other than just I mean,
12:48
it's all a part of the learning process, but something that interests them
12:52
as well. Absolutely, Doug, it's always pleasure to talk to you.

17:21
into the show now, Nick Quinn, who's a candidate for magistrate here in
17:23
Kanaw County. Nick, good morning, Welcome to the show. Good morning,
17:26
it's good to be here. Thank you for being to tell us a
17:29
little bit about Nick Quinn. Well, I'm a lifelong resident of Kanawk County,
17:33
son of a preacher man. My dad was a Baptist minister. For
17:36
any that should be a song, Yeah, no, it is, go
17:37
ahead. I've been a tattoo artist here in the valley for twenty three years
17:41
now, owned a few small businesses for the last fifteenek. And I got
17:45
to ask gave and it has nothing to do with Matred. How'd you get
17:48
to the tattoo business? Why did you want to do it? Well?
17:49
I was a student at U See taking some of the art classes over there,
17:52
and there was a shop in Kanas City just down the block that had
17:56
opened up that was a nicer shop. Weren't too many nice shops in the
18:00
valley at the time, so I had gone in and had my first experience
18:04
with just seeing what it could be, and I saw a vision for myself.
18:08
Then. I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I don't frequently have
18:11
somebody on the show that is a tattoo artist. So that's why I wanted
18:15
to ask you so to continue with your bio was It's been a fantastic career.
18:19
I don't plan on ever stopping tattooing. I'm very passionate about it,
18:23
and I've tattooed a lot of folks in the valley that come from all walks
18:27
of life, which is something I think is very valuable to be able to
18:32
empathize with people on a level. You know, You've had hour long,
18:34
two hour long conversations with folks you know that tell you all about themselves.
18:38
It's nice to be able to get to know people. So why do you
18:41
want to be a magistrate? Well, I mean again, I think I
18:45
can do some good in the in the valley here. I feel like I
18:49
have a vision for positive change over there. I want to bring some civility
18:52
to the courthouse that's been missing, some cooperation amongst the magistrates. I think
18:59
a lot of times people don't know what they're going to get when they go
19:02
over there. There's not a lot of consistency, and I think I can
19:04
bring that over there. Your political party is I'm an independent independent registered independent.
19:10
Okay, So you talked about trying to bring civility back to the office.
19:12
What are some of the biggest the other big needs in the magistrate's office
19:17
in your opinion? Well, you know, when I talk to folks,
19:19
they want to see transparency. They want to see an increase in efficiency,
19:25
and there's a lot of inefficiency that happens in the courthouse. You know.
19:27
You may as I've tied to a lot of law enforcement and one of the
19:30
complaints that I hear from them is that they'll go over on their day off
19:36
because they've been subpoenaed. They may sit for twenty thirty minutes and then be
19:40
told, oh, we're going to continue this or this isn't going to happen
19:42
today, and then the taxpayers get paid, you know, taxt or three
19:48
sometimes three hours of overtime for a police officer that's been sitting in the courthouse.
19:52
You know. So I think that if we can increase the efficiency,
19:53
it's going to help everybody out. And you hear so many people that talk
19:59
about that about cases being dropped or thrown out of whatever because the law enforcement
20:03
officer, you know, for one reason another didn't show up, or maybe
20:06
they couldn't stay there, you know, they had they had had to leave
20:08
to go on. So I completely get. We're talking again with Nick Quinn,
20:11
who's a candidate for a magistrate here in Canawa County. And you know,
20:15
Nick, I've seen I've had so many people on this show and other
20:18
places, from law enforcement to judges who talk about repeat customers for lack of
20:26
a better term, in the court system, and it's and they tell me,
20:29
you know, you seem like you see a whole lot of the same
20:32
people. I'll get friends that are police officers, not only here in the
20:33
area but throughout the state and they say, well, you know, I've
20:37
seen this particular lady five times this month or whatever. Judges will say the
20:41
same thing. How do we change that cycle? In your opinion, well,
20:45
reducing recidivism is you know, a pretty important thing to do when you
20:49
when you run for a position like this, and that's a that's a tough
20:52
one to tackle, but I think that having a positive impact on young offenders,
20:57
getting them early understand the way that the system works and that it can
21:03
work for them rather than against them is an important way to get the cycle
21:07
started for that. And drugs, you know, the elephant in the room.
21:11
As I anytime I have a candidate for magistrate or judge, as I
21:14
said, or anybody else in the show, I always have to throw it
21:17
out there. The law enforcement, the judges, the judicial system in general
21:19
will tell you about ninety five percent, if not more, of the cases
21:22
that you see are somehow related to drugs. If it's a larceny, if
21:29
it's a domestic violence, if it's an assault, or whatever, somewhere,
21:33
drugs is in it. Take it from there. Well, I think in
21:37
a lot of cases, drugs may not be at the root of that problem.
21:41
It could be a secondary offense, you know, maybe possession as a
21:45
secondary offense on top of something that they've already done. So I think the
21:48
statistics might be a little skewed there, but the fact that drugs are present
21:52
in most of those things is a problem. I think if we would increase
21:56
the drug court over at the courthouse, maybe maybe have have something at a
22:03
lower level than it is now, would help. But I think increasing the
22:08
need for at least promotion and mental health awareness, you know, getting some
22:12
of these people some help. You know, a lot of people are on
22:15
drugs because they're depressed or you know, they just don't see a way out.
22:21
And I think if we can help some of these folks with their mental
22:22
health, then it would reduce the number of people that we see in there
22:26
for drugs. Mental health is such an issue in this country, and it's
22:30
not just in the with the drug situation. It because you well know,
22:33
I mean, it's there's I mean, you know, whether it's the homeless
22:36
issue or whatever. Again, Charles was no different than anywhere. Health.
22:38
Mental health is at the is at the root of a lot of these problems,
22:41
absolutely, and I see a lot of that as a tattoo artist.
22:44
You know, I've tattooed a lot of people that have had self harm scars
22:47
that they want to cover up from previous years of whether it was drug abuse
22:52
or depression or you know, just there's a lot of things that affect people
22:56
in their lives and we just need to be able to help them out.

Talking to with Nick Quinn is the candidate for magistrate here in Kanawha County,
23:03
but Dave Allen showing five Itty Life presented in part. But Pinnacle Consultants,

23:22
Visit Pinnacle Corp dot ned that's Pinnacle Corp dot net for Pinnacle Consultants because what
23:26
you don't know can't hurt you. Has the campaign been so far, It's
23:30
been great. We've had a few events. Actually had a karaoke event over
23:33
at Rock City that went real well really Oh yeah. We had Johnny Mike
23:36
over there singing. That was a good time. That's our engineer here,
23:37
absolutely, Johnny Mac. Yeah, he's got an amazing voice. Lets I
23:41
said, what kind of singer is it? Because all we hear is all
23:44
we hear from him is you know, yelling at us over something we're doing
23:47
wrong. Here kidding, I'm kidding. Pretty good singer, huh, not
23:51
bad? Not bad. We had we had some talented folks show up that
23:52
night. It was a good time. So I mean, are you the
23:56
cape, the type that goes out and does door to door knocking, standing
24:00
in the intersection with a sign. What's your campaign's travel? Well, that's
24:03
mostly what I'm going to be doing now. You know. I had to
24:04
have a few fundraisers in order to buy those signs. Yes, they're not
24:07
cheap. So I got the signs in on Friday. I'll be distributing those
24:11
neighborhood to neighborhood, doing the door to door stuff. I've got some door
24:15
hangers, so hopefully they don't litter the neighborhoods. But I do want people
24:18
to know what I'm about and what I can do for them. What do
24:21
people when they when you encounter somebody either in your in your tattoo place,
24:27
or you're just talking to somebody out on the street, what do you hear
24:30
from the public about what they want from the magistrate's office. It's it's a
24:33
little disappointing, but a lot of what I hear is I don't know what
24:37
a magistrate does, and if you've not had an experience in the courthouse,
24:41
it makes sense that you wouldn't. But I would hope that people would want
24:44
to be informed on who's going to be on the other side of that door
24:45
if they do get you know, arrested, or need to come in for
24:48
a civil dispute, or you know, one of the many hats that a
24:52
magister wears. It it's good to know what type of qualifications that it takes
24:56
to go into that position. So I think people just need to educate themselves
25:00
on what their candidates are even running for a lot of times, so what
25:06
I hear a lot from people, and this could be, you know,
25:10
it could be could be true or not. But what I hear from a
25:11
lot of people is I said, well, as soon as somebody's arrested,
25:14
they just let them out. I get they meaning the court system is general.
25:17
How do you respond to that? Well, I mean there's a there's
25:22
a set way that things have been done, which is a lot of what's
25:25
happening right now, and then there's the way that things could be. And
25:29
I think once I get in, I can have a better assessment of what
25:33
we can do to increase the efficiency over there and to make sure that people
25:37
are consistent. And that's why I want to work with my other magistrates once
25:41
I get in to create a consistent bond for people. You know, you
25:47
may have one magistrate that sends somebody away for something that another one would just
25:52
send them with a pr you know. So it's it's really about consistency and
25:57
making sure that everybody's on the same page in that court house. Nick Quinn
26:00

26:45
these days. They're exiting. That's you know. I try to wrap myself
26:49
around that new name X and I still say Twitter, and I guess they're
26:52
just called posts now, I guess, right, Yeah, that's that's what
26:56
elon. So what you're saying is you're not hard to find, right And
27:00
I'm just over on Hell Street downtown is where my shop is. So that's
27:03
where my campaign headquarters is for now, and we're going to do the best
27:07
we can to make sure that I can get in there. All right,
27:08
Nick, This is a segment that I call the Final thirty. We don't
27:12
time you, so you can go longer, you can go shorter. Why
27:15
should someone vote for Nickquinn from Agaster to Canawah County. Well, I mean,
27:22
I know what people have told me that they want to see in there.
27:23
They want to be treated fairly, they want to be respected. If
27:26
I do get elected, I don't plan on being judge or your honor.
27:29
I just want to be Nick. I want people to feel comfortable when they
27:30
come in. I want to protect our most vulnerable. You know, some
27:33
of the elder abuse that's happened child abuse. Those are things that I'm passionate
27:38
about. I went through both the City of Charleston's Police Academy the Citizens Academy.
27:44
I'm in their alumni association. I also did the FBI's version, and
27:47
I'm an active member of their alumni association. I'm on the board development Federal
27:52
Credit Union. We've been trying to do a lot of things with the community
27:53
with them. I'm on the board for Festival, so you know we're trying
27:57
to do good things there as well. Again, I'd like to increase the
28:00
efficiency and civility and have a positive impact on young offenders in Kanawk County.
28:06
All right, well, Nick, we wish you the best of luck.
28:07
Election days here just in a couple of months. So this is the time
28:11
now that spring is officially here. I guess today, I think is when
28:12
spring starts. I think they feel like it out there, no, and
28:15
then it's not going to feel like a rest day. But you'll be out
28:17
and about doing more of these candidate type forums. Are you open to those
28:22
things? I plan to go to Belltown. I say there's a big one
28:26
in Belton. I'm gonna talk about that a little bit later on so you'll
28:27
be there. I will be there. That's my hometown. I can't have
28:30
people showing up in my hometown without me being there. Well, that wouldn't
28:33
look good. I think there's a couple, at least a couple. I
28:37
saw the list. I had to Mayor Fletcher on the show last Thursday,
28:40
and he had a list at that time, and I'd say it's probably doubled
28:42
since then since he was on the show. I'm sure of people that were
28:45
coming. So you're you're one of them. Huh. Yeah, There's gonna
28:48
be a lot of folks up there, so I'm looking forward to it.
28:49
All right. We wish you the best look of the campaign. Nick,

state boys basketball tournament we had this past week, including several are including scene
33:22
I should say all the two seeds win championships on Saturday. I will be
33:29
a little bit biased here for a moment because one of my best friend's sons
33:31
plays for Charleston Catholic. But what a game that was at all the championship
33:36
games were great for that matter. It was just a simply great tournament.
33:42
I mean, it really really was. And I'll do a little bragging here
33:46
for a moment on something I had very little to do with, and that
33:51
was the Metro Neho's coverage of the boys and state girls tournaments this last two
33:57
weeks. Just an awesome job from the folks you heard on the radio and
34:00
saw on the Metro News TV app. To the people that you probably haven't
34:04
heard of, the ones that are behind the scenes, simply a great job.

34:49
had over at Capital Market. I was over there for the Green Chili Shootout
34:52
Saturday afternoon Long with Steve Animal representing ninety eighth sevent the Mountain Wild and Wonderful
34:58
Classic rob Reel from our sister station KWS was there. We had just a
35:04
great time and a good time. Saturday night is Charleston Urban Works in the
35:07
Downtown Charleston Association did the annual Saint Patrick's Pub Crawl downtown. Literally literally thousands
35:15
of people built the streets Charleston downtown. And what I like to hear is
35:21
no problems were reported. Nobody got really stupid, and if they did,
35:23
they got stupid in their own homes, not on the streets of Charleston,
35:27
which is even more important. Just a lot of good vibes, a lot
35:30
of good things going on in Charleston with events like this. But to over
35:34
at the chili cook off, Jeff, I know that you will appreciate this.
35:37
They asked me to be a judge, and of course, all of
35:39
the proceeds for this benefit of the Parkinson's Group here in Charleston, led up
35:44
by George Manahaanan and of those folks, I had forty five different kinds of
35:51
chili, literally, because they asked me if I would judge the professionals.
35:55
This was an international chili competition. I mean, the people that won here,
36:00
the professionals actually get to move on. It's almost like tournaments, you
36:04
know, speaking of tournament seasons, almost like that, And so I got
36:07
to sample, got to try those, and then also the local chilies as
36:13
well, a total of forty five different chilis that I had on Saturday afternoon.
36:21
And then I had a hard time the rest of the weekn and find
36:22
anybody to want to hang out with me. For some reason, I don't
36:24
know why. The David Alan showing five Viny Live is brought to you in
36:28
part by Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Hopy Kirch will
36:31
coming up with ten oh six with talk line. The future of Senator Joe
36:36
Manchin. A lot of people are still discussing it, and now Jeff Jenkins
36:40
was able to catch up with a good senator at the tournaments on Friday afternoon
36:45
to ask him about the possibility of him running for Senate as an independent now.
36:50
He said that that's off the table, that he's not going to do
36:54
that. But he also said those famous words, which is never say never.
37:01
That's the words of Joe Manjit. He actually said never say never.
37:05
But at least that now it looks like he is not going to be running
37:08
for anything else, at least for now. A little bit time can change,
37:13
so Jeff Jenkins had a chance to catch up with Senator Mansion, and
37:16
he'll join Hobby on the show, comeing up next hour to talk about that.
37:20
He'll actually play a couple of excerpts in that interview he did from the
37:22
state tournament with Senator Mansion a couple of days ago. Plus we are going
37:25
to have more vaccine talk on the show. Joe Bricado will be along with
37:30
the boys state tournament's wrap up and a preview of both Marshall and WVU women's
37:36
basketball teams. Both teams making the NCAA Basketball Tournament. How cool is that?
37:43
Let's talk now with Hobby coming up at ten o six this morning.
37:45
Now on this show tomorrow, Jason Pizitella is going to join us to talk
37:50
about the Contractors Expo which is going on over the Kyle Seaman Convention Center.
37:53
Also, we'll have another candidate for a magistrate here in Kanaha Academy. It's
37:58
Tressey Cavell. She'll join us tomorrow. And I never know, I mean,
38:01
is it. I guess pronunciation could be either way. It's either magistrate
38:06
or magistrate, either one, but I kind of go back and forth and
38:09
you know, pronounce it both ways. But anyway, Tresi Cavell, who
38:14
is a candidate for magistrate or magistrate if you prefer in canawacundidate would be joining
38:17
this on the show coming up tomorrow. I talked about this a little last
38:23
week and you heard me reference it when I was talking to Nick Quinn earlier.
38:28
Coming up tonight the town of Bell, and again we had on the
38:31
show last week the mayor of the town, Dave Fletcher, to talk about
38:36
it. The Upper Kanaw Valley Mayors Association is going to host a meet the
38:39
Candidate style forum tonight at Bell Town Hall starting at six o'clock. Now,
38:45
when I had Mayor Fletcher on the show last week, he told me then
38:49
that about thirty or so candidates that was as of Thursday, about thirty had
38:53
signed up for this forum tonight. I want to go ahead and go out
38:55
on a limb that say that since Mayor Fletcher's appearance on the show on Thursday,
39:01
probably more signs. Matter of fact, I heard from a couple of
39:04
candidates heard the interview. It reached out to me and said, how do
39:07
I get out of this? I said, called Belltown Hall. So you've
39:09
got everybody there tonight from candidates for local races. I mentioned magistrates, delegates,
39:16
statewide races. There's candidates for Secretary of State and offices like that.
39:21
They're going to be there. It starts at six o'clock tonight at the Belltown
39:24
Hall. So if you're a candidate, you may want to plan on being
39:29
there tonight. And they've done this several times in the past. That's off
39:31
to Mayor Fletcher and that entire organization, this Upper canv Valley Mayor's Association for
39:37
putting this thing on. So if you want to get on the schedule and
39:42
it starts at six o'clock tonight to Bell Town Hall, just simply call the
39:45
Belltown Hall. That is the best way to do it. There's going to
39:47
be a packed house there tonight. Starts at six o'clock at Belltown Hall.
39:52
If you're planning on going, may want to get there earlier, a little
39:54
bit early at the Belltown Hall. And god, let's know what these people
39:59
had to say. You know, there are several meet to candidate style forums
40:04
being planned. I know, not only here in Kanawha County. I know
40:06
Putnam County does one of the Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club over there in
40:08
Putnam County do a great job with their several of these. Get out and
40:13
see what the candidates have to say and ask them questions. You know,
40:16
I have candidates on this show almost daily at this time of year, and
40:20
you can hear the radio commercials, you can see the TV ads or the
40:22
online ads or newspaper ads or whatever. But when you have these things,
40:27
it's your opportunity to actually go out and talk to them and ask them specific
40:32
questions. So do it. Belltown Hall tonight started at six o'clock. And
40:37
speaking of such, I have had people ask me talking about candidates about coming
40:43

41:22
the last couple of days, maybe a week or so before the election,

45:30
says mansion is disappointing. He's been a lifelong Democrat, has been supported by
45:35
the West Rginia Democratic Party, and when the party needs to revamp its image,
45:38
he abandons it and cries about how Democrats are too far left. West
45:44
Virginia Democrats aren't coastal elite Democrats. Where's the effort to rebuild Joe? And
45:51
I will say this for Senator Manchion he's been on this show, I've interviewed
45:54
him on other places I've been as well. I guess I guess it's all
46:00
in the eyes of the beholder. But again, I don't know. Maybe
46:04
I'm completely wrong because I'm not a registered Democrat, but I don't know if
46:07
Joe Manchin has changed that much. I mean, to me, he's the
46:12
same Joey's always been. I think the party is what has changed now.
46:15
When I have folks like Mike Pushkin on the show, State Democratic Party Chair
46:20
and Dall, a good good friend, I'll have Pushkin on the show and
46:22
he says, well, the party's not really chicking. The image of the
46:27
party's changed. And that having been said, so as the image of the
46:30
Republican Party. I had this conversation with somebody over the weekend. I was
46:34
talking some politics, which is what I love to do, you know,
46:36
on my day off. But I was talking to politics with somebody or at
46:39
the Chilia shootout of a Capitol market on Saturday about this very same thing.
46:44
And I think both parties have changed drastically. You know. As a Republican
46:49
we put Ronald Reagan up on the pedestal. Everything is about Reagan. It
46:52
used to be Kennedy for the Democrats, and it was Reagan for the Republicans.
46:58
I don't know that Ronald Reagan would be welcome in some Republican circles now,
47:04
and I know dang sure that John Kennedy would not be welcome in some
47:07
Democratic circles now. It's just it's the way it is. And the rest
47:13
of us somewhere in the middle, more moderates, you know, we're vilified.
47:17
We're called rhinos, and I'm sure they're dinos or dinos, which I
47:22
guess would be dinos. Sure there's plenty of them in the Democratic Party as
47:27
well too. The extremes are taken over. The extremes have absolutely, in
47:30
my opinion, taken over both parties. I don't recognize what the Republican Party
47:36
has become. And there's a lot of Democrats, my brethren on the Democratic
47:39
side, they'll say, I don't recognize what the Democratic parties become either.
47:44
I want to go back to the legislature for a moment and discuss a house
47:47
built fifty one oh five. Fifty one oh five would remove vaccination requirements for
47:52
students in virtual public schools, and would also allow private and parochial schools to
47:58
set their own standards. Now, the bill passed both the House and the
48:00
Senate, and now they play the wait and see thing with the governor as
48:09
to whether or not he'll sign it. Veto it allowed to pass that a
48:13
signature whatever. Brad has a in depth story about it posted at wvmetronews dot
48:19
com. And Brad's story has to do with the wheeling Charleston Diocese Bishop Mark
48:25
Mark Brennan. He was on with Hoppy and he says, the bishop that
48:30
they have no plans to change their policies as it pertains to immunizations. Now,
48:35
Bishop Drennan Brendan says they'll be going with standards that the public schools follows.
48:42
And I was looking at the numbers contained in Brad's story. Twelve thousand,
48:46
four hundred and ninety four students in West Virginia are in some sort of
48:53
a of a non public school, with one hundred and forty three in parochial
48:57
schools. There are twenty five thousand, eight hundred and eighty two students in
49:02
West Virginia that are homeschooled. That's a lot and a lot of those numbers
49:09
went way up during and after COVID, and it has been reported that West
49:16
Virginia has just about the best, if not one of the best school vaccination
49:23
programs in America. And it's something my opinion, that we we in West
49:31
Virginia can be proud of in a place where West Virginia doesn't always have the
49:37
most top numbers and the good stuff, if you know what I mean.
49:43
And there would be those though that say that those vaccination numbers that we've had
49:50
over the last several decades in West Virginia, west Virginia pretty much leading the
49:53
nation in this, that they're not something to be proud of. So I
50:00
guess it depends on your perspective. Now, as for the governor and the
50:07
humanization bill, he he could go either way of this, to be honest.
50:12
And one person that spoke out against the bill and I got to work
50:15
to have him on again soon is a frequent guest of the show, Fred
50:17
Albert, who is the head of the American Federation of Teachers. Now he's
50:22
quoted in Brad's story as saying he is all for freedom and choice for parents,
50:27
but this particular bill, according to mister Albert, is full of loopholes,
50:34
and he went on to say. I think this was at a state
50:37
board meeting. I think last week that he's urging people to contact the governor
50:43
to tell Governor Justice to stand up to the bill. And again, I
50:49
don't have any inside information as to what Governor Justice is going to do.
50:52
He's you know, in his media briefings, he's kind of gone either way
50:57
on it. So again, go read this story Brads got posted at WV

51:14
that voted for al Gore for crying out loud. That party began the extreme
51:19
Marxist shift not long after September eleventh, two thousand and one, when they
51:24
began blaming President Bush for the attack instead of insanely evile barbarians who took twy
51:30
nine hundred and seventy seven innocent souls from their families, not in one day,
51:36
in one hundred two minutes. That was it for me. Textra closes

51:45
Texas name of the specifics had changed the Democratic Party, Well, I
51:49
don't know exactly what changed it, but I mean when you see the extremes
51:52
in this party and things that are going on in the party. Yeah,
51:57
and the Republicans speaking of republic here, we're just about it's extreme on our
52:01
sides, Texas. This isn't both sides. One party supports a sex abuser
52:06
who brought an attack to the Capitol did nothing to stop it for three hours.
52:09
