of Meeks Rentals and Leasing, Welcome to the show, sir.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
How are you.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Good morning, Dave. I'm doing well. How about yourself?

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Thank you? I am doing fine. Thank you for taking
time out of your schedule to be here. I want
to start right off the top. We had Morgan Tenny
from the Putnam County Development Authority on the show yesterday
thora talking about the recent announcement of four hundred plus
units coming to Hurricane. But it's about more than just
buying homes. When we talk about this need for housing

(02:48):
in the Kanau Valley, I mean the folks of Advantage
Valley did a study and said that we need a
lot of housing here. But sometimes it's not all just
houses to buy. Sometimes it's houses to rent or to
lease or whatever. Talk about some of your company's residential rental.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
Services, absolutely, Dave. Yeah, So first off, I just want
to reiterate how excited we are with war communities coming
in to do some of development with the Hurricane property
and everything that Morgan's done to bring them here as

(03:26):
well as the state. So we're excited about that. But yeah, residentially,
we just came off of a major migration season. Obviously,
we see a lot of moving and shaking in the
summer and everyone getting settled in before school starts back
up and in the flow of things, so we see
a lot of acclamation to the properties as well as

(03:49):
new inventory hit the market, coming off the market, all
those good things. And then we also do a lot
of student housing in the Huntington market, so we do
see a lot of our students coming in during the
months of June and July and August, so we we
have a pretty big influx of new faces in the summer.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
I do want to talk about that. I'm grad thor
that you brought that up about the housing situation in Huntington,
because we you know, have had folks on from marsh
University in the past, and we had one of our
broadcast partners down there on the on the from from
the Huntington market on the Midday show last week and
he was talking about that there. I mean, I guess
it's a good problem to have, you know that there

(04:27):
seems to be some housing issues down there, but you
guys certainly got a lot of properties in there. What made
you decide to want to get into the housing market
or the rentals and things of that nature in the
Huntington area around Marshall.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Yeah, we do things that we're going on at the university,
and we try to stay in touch and keep our
finger on the market as best as possible. And with Huntington,
we're seeing such a great kind of reverb with everything
that the President Smith's doing and the commitments that we're
seeing in other sectors in the community. So we knew
that that was going to bring some new energy to

(05:02):
the community as well as the local residential needs. So
jumping on that and being able to provide service down
there as well as investment is one of those things
that we knew were going to happen. So we've been
down there pretty heavily for the last eight nine years
and it seems to continue to grow every month and

(05:23):
every year for us.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I mean, there are some exciting things going on right
now in Huntington. I mean, there really really are. And
I'm a little biased because I'm a Marshall guy, but
it's amazing I mean the growth. I mean I was
a student there at Marshall in the early nineteen nineties,
like one hundred years ago. And when you go back
and you look and you compare what Marshall University was
like when I first arrived on campus in August of

(05:45):
nineteen ninety compared to what it is in August twenty
twenty five. Man, it's like a totally different world.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
It is. It's amazing, you know. And the same for me,
alumni down there, was super fortunate to be in the
athletics department as well and just have such a encouraging
outlook on the future and just so we're always we're
able to see the you know, the benefits of that
university and its proximity. But men, the things that are

(06:11):
happening down there are now are incredible.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Talking again with Thor Menks, it is nine thirteen The
Dave Island Show in five Any Live is brought to
you in part by Bridge Valley, offering custom tailored training
to suppli askill of graduates and apprenticeship for your company.
Visit Bridge Valley dot e edu. Let's switch the page
over a little bit. Turned the page if you will,
and go to commercial rentals. I mean, it's an exciting
time in the world of residences, but to also you

(06:34):
can get a lot of commercial rentals. You're trying to
get to tenants for too as well.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
Right listen, commercial, you know, that's one of my favorite
sectors that we get to dabble in. But it's absolutely
one of the most encouraging times that we've seen here
in the Kenall Valley really Putnam County specifically, in people
wanting to be in business here in our county, in

(06:59):
Putnam Counting specifically, and we have a very limited market
when it comes to a of good fits of commercial property.
So you know, when it comes to commercial property, we're
talking everything from retail to to light industrial to industrial.

(07:19):
New Core has really amped up the need for some
of that light industrial to industrial property some of their
sectors and off shoes that they have coming in. But
you know, ultimately, even outside of that, people just want
to live and work where you know, work where they live,
and we're fortunate to be able to provide some of
those spaces and try to keep the inventory fresh and new.

(07:42):
And you know, some new development that's happening with Meeks
Mountain Trails. We have a great new development that's happening,
and we'll have about one hundred thousand square fit of
additional retail hub and office space. So we're excited.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Talk about Meeks Mountain Trails. I mean, you know, that's
something that I don't want to say it's a hidden
gym because it's one national awards, But this is something
that is just right down the road from us that
a lot of folks may not be familiar with the
investment that you folks and the county and others have
put into Meeks Mountain Trails. Talk about that entire project,
what it's meant to the area.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
Yeah, absolutely, So that investment is all community based. That
investment is hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours and
hundreds of volunteers coming together on a piece of property
that we're very fortunate to own that makes up about
six hundred acres and connects to our city park. And

(08:36):
what came from that was a community ownership in that
land and a community ownership in these trails. So we
have over thirty two miles of hiking, biking and walking trails.
We're averaging over seven hundred and fifty people a day
on these trails and it's really become an economic driver.
So it's cost us zero dollars, zero commitment from any

(09:00):
of our any tax dollars or anything along those lines.
So this is community based. We've seen the product come
from this as such, an ownership in the trails and
the sustainability of the trails because they were community built.
So we're very fortunate to have those in our backyard and.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Talk about what people can experience when they get on
the trails because there's a variety of different things that
they can do on the trail system itself, for absolutely.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
So again, you can hike, you can bike, you can walk,
there's different levels to each trail. It's very well marked,
it's very accessible parking. You know, get out of your
car and head straight onto the trails. Every level of
expertise is definitely able to get on those trails and

(09:50):
enjoy it. And then you know, as soon as you
get off the trails, you can either ride or walk
back home, or if you're not from the area, you're
able to just pack up and get to bike deep
before you head out of town.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
And you got certainly a lot of great restaurant options
there in the Greater Tays Valley area and a lot
of motels. Even more are being planned, you know for
the area. So some some exciting stuff that's going on.
I want to go back to some of your properties
that you have here momentarily as we close it out,
I'm going to kind of put you on the spot.
Is there one particular property residential or commercial just off

(10:23):
the top of your head that you can think of
it you really want to put in the spotlight today.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Yeah, So there's one particular property that we have on
the market right now. It's on Tayese Valley Road here
in Putnam County. It is a Class A medical office.
It's a right shy of four thousand square feet Class
A again ready to move into. We have a this
is a multi tenant building. Your your co tenant in

(10:48):
this building is West Virginia University Medicine. So it is
ready to rock and roll. So if anybody's looking for
some medical space that is Class A, this is a
great spot.

Kaylee Young? How you doing good morning?

Speaker 12 (14:04):
I'm doing good.

Speaker 10 (14:04):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I am doing fine? What's new with you? We've got
a lot of things politically we can talk about and
we'll get to that. But what's new with you? Personally?

Speaker 12 (14:13):
Okay, personally, I do have two announcements. The first one
is I impulse bought a twelve foot skeleton at home
Depot the other day.

Speaker 10 (14:20):
They have more. They're very cool.

Speaker 12 (14:22):
Whenever I'm outdoor knocking, I love running into twelve foot
skeletons because they're holy. I mean, they're massive and they're hilarious.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Okay, right, twelve foot skeleton.

Speaker 12 (14:30):
Yeah. The other thing has to do with the Capitol
and also Logan County, where we both hail from. Remember
the big piece of coal that was in Mitchell Heights
in front of my grandma's house. If you're driving through
Logan the old way, not on the highway, you drive
right by my grandma's house. She had a big piece
of coal in her front yard. We have donated that

(14:50):
to the state and it's going to be featured in
the new Outdoor.

Speaker 10 (14:54):
Exhibit Cool at the Culture Center.

Speaker 12 (14:56):
So I'm not sure when that piece of it opens,
but I'm excited that they're going to be a piece
of Logan County coal at the Capitol.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I haven't been by the new things going on at
the Capitol. I was actually actually I was there, and
I think I saw you there. The last time I
was at the Capitol, it's been a couple months, was
at Doug Scaff's wake, and I saw that they were
doing some work there. But I haven't had an opportunity
to make it back over to the Capitol. I know
that there have been a lot of stuff going on there.

Speaker 12 (15:21):
Yeah, so it's an outdoor it's a natural resources exhibit
at the Capitol showing off all the great resources West
Virginia House.

Speaker 10 (15:27):
So we were excited to donate.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
The coal, all right. And also I got to throw
out there since you brought up La and I, you know,
before I had an opportunity to. Now, Mark Hatcher is
your he's my cousin. Your cousin, Mark Catcher, Logan High
basketball coach, is about to be aducted in the Logani
Hall of Fame next Thursday night. You are going to
be there. I'm going to be there serving as MC.
I do it every year for the folks at the

(15:50):
Logan Country Club. So but they got to hurry it
along because I mean it'll start about you know, six
or six thirty. That's opening night for the Cowboys. And
your cousin, Mark and his brother Chase, both huge Cowboy fans.
I'm a Cowboys fan, So let's get through the pomp
and circumstance and get this thing go rolling, because I
got to be back out on the road to at

(16:10):
least listen to the game on the radio when the
Cowboys beat the Eagles. So let's just make sure we
hurry this thing along when we're down there.

Speaker 10 (16:16):
Okay, go sports, it's Joe's sports. I hope they all
have fun sports ball.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yes, all right, let's get serious. Let's talk about PEIA.
Brad wrote about it last Thursday. The governor has got
a four point proposal for changes to PEIA. Now, we're
told the governor and had several meetings with certain legislators
about his proposed changes. The four points are reportedly to
remove coverage eligibility for spouses who are offered health insurance

(16:43):
through their own employer. A new plan would have to
be established, as now the state operates on an eighty
twenty split. That would change to seventy five twenty five.
Would also be a new PEIA fraud unit put in place,
and finally, some greater leverage of farm to see benefit
managers negotiating on drug price, especially the Zimpik was one

(17:04):
of those. It was mentioned just a few other things overall.

Speaker 12 (17:07):
Your take, so, yeah, I think this is trying to
be sold to people as a fix to peia. I
don't know that this is much of a fix for
those listening. One in eight West Virginians have pias. Their
health insurance coverage is about two hundred thirty thousand people
here in West Virginia, so it affects a lot of folks.
I think some of that stuff is fine. I think
the greater leverage is a good thing for lowering drug prices.

(17:30):
But I do wonder if we're kicking people off of
the plan if that really changes how we're able to
leverage that. You would think with a smaller pool we
wouldn't be able to leverage to get better prices.

Speaker 10 (17:40):
But I hope.

Speaker 12 (17:41):
That I'm wrong in that piece. I mean, I think
anything we can do to reduce fraud is a good
thing always. I would say both of those pieces probably
don't require legislation, So.

Speaker 10 (17:52):
I don't know on that piece.

Speaker 12 (17:54):
The changing the split from eighty twenty to seventy five
to twenty five, so it used to be ninety ten.
It was ninety ten for a very long time. The
price of PI ballooned, and the legislature nobody took care
of it. We kicked the can down the road for
a long time before I was there. And so then
they came in and said, we've really got to do something.
They went from ninety ten to eighty twenty. They said,
this is the fix. We do this, We're good. Now

(18:16):
we're reducing it even more so. It's it's almost like
a where does it end kind of a thing for me.
I think it's new employees would go to seventy five
twenty five. People that are already on it would stay
at the eighty twenty, but their premiums are through the
roof already. Their deductibles went up forty percent this year alone.
Copays doubled, tripled. People can't afford this, and we didn't
do raises.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Well, and we talk about kicking the can. And listeners
have heard me tell this story. When we celebrated Metro
news as anniversary a couple of years ago, fortieth anniversary
of the Metro News a couple of weeks ago, I
should say, we had George Manahan on the show and
we went back in time and we played one of
the you know, in early newscasts. And it was interesting
to me that in that newscast, and this was nineteen

(18:57):
eighty five or maybe early eighty six, not exactly the
sure the day, mister Manahan as the news guy, was
talking at that time about PEIA. Wow, and it's like, wow,
that was either you know, thirty nine forty years ago,
and here we are in twenty twenty five, del again
and we're still talking about PIA.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (19:14):
I mean, I would say, we have a broken healthcare
system in this country that doesn't really work well for
anyone no matter what. So I think we're always going
to be talking about it.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Some legislators have said that it would be a hard
sell that and in regardless of party, you know, some
Republicans have said I can't, I can't sell this to
my people. Yeah, so you would you would say, what, well, what's.

Speaker 12 (19:37):
It doing for people that are on PA. Now those
people are the ones we're hearing from, and they're the
ones saying I can't afford this. Everything is going up, up, up.
It's gone up fifteen percent every year. Your premiums have
gone up fifteen percent every year. They're going to keep
going up fifteen percent every year, plus deductibles going up
forty percent. This is doing nothing to help those people
at all. This is just other change, right, So I

(20:01):
don't know who this is for really, other than saving
the state money.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Well, and you know, one of the I don't know
if if perks is the right word, but that's probably
not the right word. If one of the benefits. People
have said about, you know, being a state employee, and
we have a bunch of openings in state government we
can't that we can't fill. And you know, when you
talk about PIA and state employees, everybody automatically thinks teachers,
but there's a whole lot of other you know, a

(20:26):
whole lot of other professions of falling them that banner.
One of the benefits has always been, well, you know,
you don't necessarily get paid as much as the private sector,
but your benefits are good. But the holidays and so
on and so forth. But you know, we're hearing that
the benefits ain't what they used to be.

Speaker 10 (20:42):
They're not. Yeah, they're not at all.

Speaker 12 (20:44):
We got rid of the we got rid of civil
service protections this year for most state employees. The benefits
are not what they used to be. The pay is
still bad. We're not doing enough for our state workers,
and I wonder, I wonder how we're going to keep going.
I think a large percentage of our state workers and
people on PI are of an older generation, and they're
going to be retiring soon. It's not an attractive job

(21:06):
for most younger people. Most people don't think I want
to grow up and work in state government. I hope
they do, because we really need public We really really
need great public servants. But I value those people a lot,
but we're not offering them much at this point, and
the benefits are getting worse.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Special Session, what are you hearing?

Speaker 10 (21:25):
Question? Mark?

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Right?

Speaker 10 (21:26):
I mean you said it yourself. People don't think they
can sell this.

Speaker 12 (21:29):
I if I had to bet right now, I'd say,
I don't think it happens in September, Okay, all right.

Speaker 10 (21:34):
I would be.

Speaker 12 (21:34):
Interested to see if vaccines come up again, though, because
I mean, the governor keeps talking about.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Those, all right, and there is a lot of talk
about vaccines, so of course, you know they There was
a hearing down in Raleigh County yesterday and there was
the you know, the the the bundling, for lack of
a better term, putting the cases, the two religious exemption
cases together.

Speaker 10 (21:56):
Did that happen? I saw the ag asket for.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, And so that's I mean, it's
not to be all end all's not done yet. But
but but we're still we're talking about vaccines and there
seems to be a divide here between the state Board
of Education, major divide and the governor and people are
going back and forth and back and forth on this thing.
Where are you on that?

Speaker 12 (22:17):
I mean, and between the legislature and the governor. Right,
we killed that bill on the floor. It died, So
I mean, we don't want it. The people of West
Virginia don't want it, Our constituents don't want it. The
governor and I guess Secretary Kennedy at HHS seemed to
be the only the only ones who do really in
a in a vocal minority group of people.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
And there seemed to be some concern from a lot
of people about mister Kennedy getting involved in this in
West Virginia and the state's issue.

Speaker 12 (22:43):
You would say to that, what I mean, I guess
you can kind of comment on whatever he wants to.
I don't know that he typically has commented on other
things so I think it's kind of bizarre. But I
guess with Senator Stuart potentially going to work for him,
maybe that's the connection. I don't I don't know why
he's got the time to weigh in on it, but
that's fine. I guess feels like it feels like the

(23:05):
governor's trying to bring in the big guns and kind
of why do that when when the legislature has soundly
rejected it.

Speaker 3 (23:12):

Two hundred fifty people, which is which is a lot.
So talk about what was what took place in that meeting.

Speaker 10 (23:56):
Yeah, so its a town hall.

Speaker 12 (23:58):
It was hosted by the Kennaugh County demoic at An
executive committee. They did invite the Kenawk County Republican Executive
Committee to be a part of it.

Speaker 10 (24:05):
I don't know. They weren't.

Speaker 12 (24:06):
I did not see them there. Maybe there were. I
did see some Republicans in the crowd.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
It was Republicans in the crowd.

Speaker 12 (24:12):
Huh okay, okay, yeah, absolutely, and uh it did seem
to be kind of a mixed crowd. And it was
supposed to it was called Building Bridges, and it was
supposed to just be a town hall where where people
could get up and talk about whatever they wanted. They
invited all the federal delegation. Nobody showed up to no
one surprise, and they invited all of the local delegates,
and myself and two other delegates were there and we

(24:33):
mainly just answered questions and listened to concerns. A lot
of the concerns were federal, but there was a lot
of state stuff.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Too.

Speaker 10 (24:39):
It was it was great.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Well, and here is this was my take on the
whole thing last week when I was talking to the organizers.
I mean, we've seen a delegate, you've seen on TV
and online, you know these what these town halls have
become in certain areas. This was not that, and there
was no indication that it was ever going to be that.

(25:01):
Now was it partisan, I mean it was. It was sponsored,
as you said in part, you know, by Democrats. I
get that, but I'm just sitting there thinking if I
were a Republican House of Delegates member serving in this area,
I probably would have attended that. I'm just saying it's

(25:21):
easier for me to say because I'm not okay, but
if I were, I probably would have because it would
be an opportunity for some dialogue. And it's not going
to be hostile. I mean, it's it's simply not. No
one went in there thought that that it was ever
going to get heated. I don't know that it did.

Speaker 12 (25:38):
I mean, you were little, not too bad, okay, it
was just some people with frustrations, mostly at the federal Look,
but they weren't okay.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
I get that, but I don't think that they were
upset with other people in the room. Right, they were
not up because those other people weren't.

Speaker 10 (25:52):
In the room, That's right.

Speaker 12 (25:53):
And I do think the republic the local Republican delegates,
I'm not going to speak for them, but I do
believe some of them were out of towns okay, and
it has so kind to give them the benefit of
the doubts.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
It happens, It happens. If it were to be a
similar event sponsored by a Republican group, would you and
others go?

Speaker 10 (26:08):
Potentially? Potentially I'd be open to it.

Speaker 12 (26:11):
Yeah, I mean I try to go to most things
that I'm invited to, like even during session when there's
like lobbying events held by groups that I don't necessarily
agree with, I try to stop by just to hear, listen,
hear people are there.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
But I guess my point in saying all this doubtgate
and listeners have heard me say this before, is when
did we ever get to this point where we can't
just listen to what the other side has to say?
I mean, just we're there, down and listen to what
they have to say.

Speaker 12 (26:37):
Yeah, I would say that we're there and the political
violence is ratcheting up. You know, we saw lawmakers killed
this summer. It's it's we're in a pretty vitriolic place.
I think social media is part of that.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
I think, oh, I think it's amazing.

Speaker 12 (26:50):
I think it's the major part of it, with the
siloing of information, and that's not part. It's on both sides.
You know, the algorithm contains you to what you believe,
so people lose a lot of that. And it's really
easy to dehumanize people behind a keyboard. It's a lot
harder to do it in person. Yeah, very much so.
So I think that that's that's absolutely a problem, and
I worry that we're getting to a point. You know.

(27:11):
I listened to a podcast the other day where a
Republican congressman he's the only one this year that has
held a town hall and he's always I think he's
in New York State. He said he's always going to
keep doing it, but he's the only one that's done
it all year. I hope that's not the new norm.
I hope we can sit down and have these kinds
of conversations regardless of where we're at.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
But to play Devil's advocate delegate, you, as I said earlier,
you have seen what goes on at some of these
with silence, and the police had to get involved. And
it's not this is not cool for lack of a
better tell, no matter who's holding the town hall. I mean,
people should be able to come in and simply talk.
But my fear is is that the more that people

(27:52):
don't come in and talk, the more like you know,
the one of the rules of marketing I learned one
hundred years ago in public relations classes is that if
you don't tell your story, someone tells your story for you.

Speaker 10 (28:05):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
And that's where I am a feared that we are
at this point, is that, well, you are not going
to come not you specifically, but you're not going to
come speak to us. So we're going to presume what
it is you have to say. We're going to put
those words in your mouth without hearing it from you.
But you can also understand, as I said, when you
see what you've seen on TV, why some of those

(28:27):
would be a little bit hesitant to go to those
I think you got to understand, you know, who's putting
it on, who's responsible for it.

Speaker 12 (28:35):
Yeah, and they told us ahead of time that there
was gonna be there were police there they hired security.
I think we also just have to assume other people
have good intentions, you know, and that's kind of hard
to do these days.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
It is, it is one hundred percent. We're talking to
Delegate Kaylee Young. All right, so you have you mentioned
the congress person in New York was uh, and I
don't I'm gonna take you at your word when you
said they're the only one that's had to the town halls.
You been a little bit critical of our delegation in
DC for not meeting with the people. You would say

(29:08):
to that, what.

Speaker 12 (29:09):
Senator Justice canceled a town not a town hall and
assembly at my children's school this week. I think he
canceled all of his events this week. It's hard to
get in front of these people these days. Even as
a member of the legislature, it's hard for us to
get a hold of these people. It's hard for constituents
to get a hold of them. I just wish they'd
be a little more visible and accessible to folks. I

(29:33):
also think the big Bill is going to be really detrimental.
I wonder where we're going to come up with the
money for all the shortfalls we're about to.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Have, and that's That's one of the things that those
of us that weren't that had a lot of questions,
people like me who tend to lean a little bit
more conservative, but had a lot of questions about that
bill was simply the price tag. Yeah, and it's not
conservative in any way, shape, form or fashion to go
it our former governor, current senator, it's not and that

(30:03):
that was one of the major concerns if you had though,
if you had the opportunity to talk to any of
our senators, our elected officials. Are you know a congressperson
uh More Miller, governor or I'm sorry, I've always call
him governor, Senator Justice, Senator Capita. About meeting with the people,

(30:25):
what would you say?

Speaker 12 (30:26):
I mean, I run into them at the grocery store, right,
I see them sometimes and we have decent relationships and
we're able to have conversations. But I would just tell
them that they should listen to their constituents and be
more public and be willing to sit down and have
these conversations like we've been talking about. What's the worst
they can do. You don't have to agree with people,
but the least you can do is listen to them.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Well, I think especially when you're in a setting like
what we had this past Saturday Sunday. Rather and again
I wasn't there, but from what I had been told
and what I saw again in talking to mister Pepper
and mister Hamilton last week, I saw absolutely no indication
there was going to be anything violent, anything akin to
what we've seen on social media and on television with

(31:08):
these town halls.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
Turn.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
I mean, it's simply not going to happen. I think,
if I mean, if nothing else, I think the others
in the room were going to make sure that that
didn't happen.

Speaker 12 (31:18):
Absolutely, And I think so two things right to one extent,
it kind of begets itself where people feel like they
have to kind of do these grand gestures that that
might be more partisan and might be more like bird
dogging type of things because they don't know when they're
going to see these people, so they like plan these
activities to like kind of ambush folks at the rare

(31:39):
opportunity where they know they're going to be out in public.
So I think because they're not so visible that that
it then creates that conversation and that situation, which I
don't think is positive for anybody. I don't think it's
beneficial for anybody to bird dog somebody and show up
and protest at their mobile office hours right at the
library when they're helping people with social security.

Speaker 10 (32:00):
Don't like that when they're doing casework.

Speaker 12 (32:01):
The other thing is, I think it's incumbent on those
of us, as elected leaders, to model good behavior and
to be seen as leaders and be seen as out
in our community and be seen as listening to our constituents,
whether we agree with.

Speaker 10 (32:13):
Them or not. That's our job. We represent all of them,
all right.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
So before we let you go next year, you run
it for relation.

Speaker 10 (32:21):

(36:16):
the text, uh, Texas. Yesterday Trump said he has great
common sense and is a smart man. Remember when he
stared at the eclipse? I remember, Yeah, I do remember that.
Tex says. The only something like that, The only way
something like that will work is if it's a known,

(36:38):
bonafide conservative with a reputable image is involved. It was
organized by liberals. You can't get a buy in like that.
Why why can you not? I mean why, I don't
understand why you would would not, Texas. When the legislature

(36:59):
is in and the governor legislators are debating PIA and
pay raises, I'd like for them to remember one thing.
Teachers and service personnel work at soft targets every day.
They're under the thread of shooting violence, and the teacher
and service personnel are expected to protect and sacrifice their
safety for students if a terrible event happens. So parents,
governor legislators. Remember whose task of protecting your children during

(37:23):
a viable attack at school? Quit screwing those tasks to
teach and to protect your children. Tex says Obama started
all this. He called us bitter clingers. It was divisive.
Tex says. Delegate Young complains about the price tag and
the big beautiful bill, but she didn't complain about the
price tag of the American Rescue Plan and the inflation

(37:46):
Reduction Act. That makes her a hypocrite. No one listens
to hypocrites. Well, okay, uh, Tex says, I'll tell you
when it happened. I was told by Republicans that January
sixth was justified, that the criminals are patriots who unfairly persecuted,
That Democrats are vermin and thugs, it must be eradicated,
that immigrants poisoned the blood of the country, That Democrats

(38:08):
are a secret cabal to pedophiles, that a sex abuser
and felm It is a good role model for the country,
and that's good to grab women by the blank. Fix this.
Republicans then talk to me about listening. Republicans have no
honor or integrity. Text. You may have been told that
by some people, but not by all. And there are
those of us that at the time was a Republican.
I'm not now. I'm a registered independent who thought that

(38:31):
January sixth was horrifying, unjustified. And that's basically what may
led me to leave the Republican Party. One of the things.
Don't paint us all with one brush, even though I'm
no longer a Republican tex says a delegate. Young knows
she's going to get booted from office next year if
she runs for the House again. She's hedging herself and

(38:53):
she should. We are coming, says is a Texter. Okay,
I'll study that a little bit further and I'll explain why,
because I want to have this particular text. I want
to have an opportunity to explain, all right, So I

Very good, very good. Let me see here. Text says,

Dave you prove my point. You left the Republican Party

perfectly fine. Text says you paint liberals with one brush daily.

(41:46):
Every liberal is a cross dressing library and peen and
classroom litterboxes because Maga who lives in fantasy daily can't
tell reality from TikTok jokes. And they're very serious about it. Okay,
when did I ever paint liberals with any kind of
a brush, if you mean me specifically. I never said
every liberal was a cross dressing librarian or anything. I
never I'm the one that when all this crap came

(42:08):

I said, I wanted to address something because I want
to have time to read it in full during the
break there. I appreciate you. Let me put this off
a little bit. I did receive a text from one
particular House of Delegates member, and I will lead his

(45:47):
or her name off, but they did say that they
were invited to the event by mister Pepper, and I'm
going to read you the exact email. Thank you for
sending this. I am in these kind of events, but
will unfortunately be out of town actually on a legislative
work trip that they will be returning on Tuesdays. So

(46:08):
at least one Republican member, maybe more said that they
wanted to go but would be out of town on
the legislative work trip. I appreciate the texture or the
person the delegate, and without having permission from them, I
don't want to mention their name. If they're still listening
and they want to mention it, they want me to,
you can text me back. And they texted that to
my personal phone. I will do it, but I will

(46:29):
not do it without your permission. Texas, almost every liberal
is a cross dressing library in LOL. We've had to
put the lol after that. Tex says the constant talk
of why West Virginia has left the Democratic Party mainly
center around the far left trans issues, gay issues, and
woke issues, you know, things that attempt to humanize others
and to help with empathy. Those people went Republican, whose

(46:51):
far extreme sided is racism, sexism, homophobia, and extreme Christianity. Yes,
Democrats lost people, but only because those people who went
Republican chose to align their hearts and souls with a
party that makes them the most comfortable, says a tankster.
Tex says the same song of dance, wah wah wah. Okay,
I don't know if that was wah wah wah like

(47:12):
it is in crying or maybe like the bumper music
or the return music on happy Days. I don't know,
Charlie Brown. Perhaps Tex, says Dave. The West Reginia legislature
needs to pass the death penalty for anyone who would
harm kill any student, teacher, or school personal personnel, period
says the texter. Uh, okay, we're not going to get

(47:33):
personal on that particular thing there. Okay, I got it
all right. So anyway, back to a story about the
former Canagh County Deputy Slash Bailiff as I mentioned Chris's
story wv Metronews dot com. A second woman has not
come forward, claiming to have been repeatedly abused and sexually

(47:56):
assaulted while in custody waiting on court hearing. According to
official court documents, cast Close made unwanted advances toward the
anonymous woman almost immediately after she was brought in the
Canawa County Courthouse over the course of two years, from
late twenty twenty three until earlier this year. The first
woman who came forward a couple of weeks ago, which
is what led to Close being put in jail. That

(48:17):
woman claims have been sexually assaulted while being held on
the seventh floor awaiting the hearing. That incident is alleged
to have happened in closest office office after she was
removed from her cell. Now the second woman is offering
him claims of graphic encounters with this person again. We
will talk with the attorneys in that case later today

(48:38):
on Metro News Midday, I want to go back just quickly,
and we're bringing TJ. Meadows for a quick preview talk
line to yesterday's show. For a moment had Morgan Tenny
on from the Putnam County Development of Authority and talking
about other things, including its major housing project. And I
touched on it a little earlier with thor Meeks as well.

(49:00):
The amount of people who get upset over progress truly,
truly cracked me up. Over four hundred homes are being
built in the Hurricane area, an area that is in
a definite need of housing, I mean lots of it,
not only in Putnam County, but also in Knawa County,
Capital counties as well. And reading comments online this way,

(49:21):
and I know, I know, never read the comments of
people saying it was a waste of perfectly good farmland,
farmland which by the way, wasn't being used as farmland.
It was a big vacant field, all right. I say,
as somebody who lives in that area, build the houses,
build them. And as for traffic, traffic is horrible in

(49:46):
Tay's Valley, But again it's a great problem to have. Again,
I've said it until I'm blew in the face. How
many areas of this state would kill to have a
traffic problem.

Speaker 6 (49:59):
It will.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
Yesterday about a twenty minute drive for me from the
Tays Valley accident off I sixty four to my home.
It was about a twenty minute drive in what is
maybe maybe three miles. I didn't like it. I may
have been cursing under my breath, but again I will

(50:23):
take it. The area is exploding yet again, as it
did in the early to mid nineties, and it is
simply the place to be right now. I'm a little
you know, I'm a little prejudiced toward my home, my homeland,
not my hometown, but where I chose to make my
home eleven years ago. Great things are going on there, man,
great things. You'll recall a week ago Saturday there was

(50:46):
a shelter in place, and since then there have been
some town halls to talk about it. One last night
at Bell Morgan Pemberton covered it, writes about a wv
metro news dot com. About a dozen or so, according
to Morgan, were there last night, just a lot of
questions on what turned out to be not a big
deal at all. It was harmless. Apparently officials from the
plant were there, Canaw County Emergency Management Services, the Kanaw

(51:09):
Poundy kana Puttnam Emergency Planning Committee and others were there
to meet with the residents. And if you live there,
probably not a big deal. But as one resident pointed
out there have been a lot of newer people moving
to the area who may not have been aware of
what to actually do in a shelter in place like
we had a week ago Saturday. Again, Morgan, great job
by the story. You can read it for yourself at

(51:30):
wv metronews dot com. Deck says a little reminder to
left us that these sons of liberty were called extrememists
by British loyalists. So anyone who fights against the Marxist
takeover of our republic is an extremist. Question mark. Stop
lecturing the rest of us about tolerance and acceptance while
constantly making nasty, snide comments. Over half of the country

(51:51):
never accused of making snide nasty comments. TJ. Meadows is here?
He doing man good?

Speaker 5 (51:57):
