Oh yeah, As I sit here looking at a completely
black computer screen right now, it's a happy Monday all around.

It is well. You know what, sometimes that technology isn't great,
but you know what is always great instruments.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
There you go, there, you go right perfect and you
have with y'all, haved Let you introduce your get here.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I try to work on a computer here.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I am really excited. I have our music director, Mauric's
Cone with me this morning.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Maurice, good morning, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Great to be here.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Do you know anything about computers?
Speaker 7 (02:29):
Unfortunately, no, only.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Talk about keys ed keys.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I'm very funny.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Yeah, and I'm gonna need you to host the show.
So while I'm trying to get this computer things straight down. Now, Amanda,
you've been on the show, of course, numerous times in
the past, and you're on here, but murray, someone get
to know you little. But give us your background.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
So I am the music directory in conductor of Westernia Symphony.
I'm in my third year here in Charleston, and before
that I lived in Texas and I originally I grew
up in Illinois. I a cellist and sort of found
conducting a little bit late later in life and now
very happy to be making music here.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
What was it about the conducting aspect of it that
you that you like so much?
Speaker 7 (03:12):
I sort of, you know, I mean, I was a cellist,
and so I played in a lot of orchestras. Uh huh,
And you know, orchestras are just really fascinating organisms. You know,
there's eighty ninety one hundred people on stage and it
all sounds like one thing. And I became really obsessed
with how that happens, how the first trumpet player communicates
(03:33):
with the first violin player, and how the percussionist knows
when to come in to be right on time with
the cellist. And the conductor is really the person responsible
for making all of that happen right, and so I
really became sort of obsessed with figuring out how to
do that.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Do all members of an orchestra want to be a
conductor someday?
Speaker 7 (03:51):
I wouldn't say all.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Or it's kind of like actors and that they want
to be a director at some point do that or
they think maybe they can do it better.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
I don't mean that way, But absolutely no, I think
I mean, I think there's a natural curiosity about the
job because it's a kind of an odd job. You know,
you're a musician, but you're not supposed to make any sound.
You know, you're supposed to just make it.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Never of it that way.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
If you're if you're if you're making sound, something has
gotten horribly wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
Yeah, So you know you're you're you're a musician, but
your job is really to make it possible for other
people to do their job really well. And it's a
very kind of mysterious thing because the physical gestures and
all of that is are a little bit unintuitive. And
so I think for everybody in anybody in an orchestra,
and really anybody in the audience or anything, there's a
(04:39):
natural curiosity about it. And so I think a lot
of people want to sort of well, like, you know,
I kind of want to try that. I want to
see what all the fuss is like, and I want
to do that, you know. And so I think that
that is is very common, and that's certainly was how
I started. I was sitting in an orchestra thinking like, oh,
that's kind of a weird thing to be doing. I
want to see what that's like, and I fell in
love with it.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
What age did did? Did you? Did you start playing music?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (04:59):
I started playing music really young. I was, you know,
three or four years old, but then I started I
didn't start conducting until I was in college.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Were you what they called a prodigy? No, I would.
I mean I was very lucky.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
I had great teachers in everything, but I had pretty
normal childhood music.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I have a child musical family, not professionally.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
I mean my parents, they they they've been to Westernion
Stiphony concerts several times. They make the trip from Illinois
to see us. They are really happy about it, but
they're not professional musicians.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
No.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
All right, Amanda, appreciate you bringing him here with us
today and weren't talking him a little bit more, But
I'm going to talk specifically about some things that you
got going on with the same players.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Yeah, we are really excited. So Maurice is actually gonna
be leading in the orchestration of not only the symphony
this Saturday, but with several different local bands. So we're
really excited. We're gonna have the Company Stores, the John
Ingram Band, and Chill lem join on the stage. With
the orchestra this Saturday, October twenty fifth for what we're
calling Listen where You Live. So it's part of our
cmm Marchitects and Engineers Pop series. It is a really
(05:57):
great way to kick off this really fun which incorporates
a lot of things that you don't traditionally think of
when you think of classical music, things like Santa Claus
for our Sounds of the season's concert all we having
a magician come on on the second half of the
season a law as well too, So things that really
are fun. And we're really kicking off with some amazing
tributes to local music.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
And I love the fact that, again the last time
you're here, you talked about this whole concept that's Listen
where you Live. Yeah, listen where you live, because again
when you and I talked about this, there can be
that stigma that all the symphonies stuck up and whatever.
I mean, Number one, that's not been my experiencing time
I've ever been there at any any performance. Okay, that's
number one, But number two, this is really going They're
(06:39):
all fun, but this is going to be a really
really fun concert.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
It is well, and I'm Matt Jackbert who was a
member of the company stores and a local arrangering composer,
has been working really really hard for the last five six,
seven more than that months right now to get all
of these charts together so the orchestra and these bands
can really combine for what's probably going to be once
in a lifetime moment on stage with the sympathy at
the Clay Center. So it's going to be a not
(07:04):
to miss concert.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
What kind of rehearsal has to go in this, Maurice,
I mean, in order to pull this off, because again
you're talking about some very very vastly different styles coming together.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Here, absolutely right, So yeah, there's a lot of rehearsal
and also a lot of sort of before rehearsal preparation. So,
as Amando was saying, you know, one of the both
challenges but also really exciting things about this Weekend's project
is that, you know, these bands don't normally play with
an orchestra, and as an orchestra, we don't normally play
their music, and so we have been working with Matt
(07:36):
Jackford over the last yeah, almost a year now to
basically create custom versions of all of this music so
that we can all play it together. And so that
has been a really big, really sort of big project,
and he's done an amazing job with that, and so
that goes a long way towards you know, really sort
of literally making sure we're all on the same page
and so that we're prepared.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, exactly, And even for different musicians outside what you
normally do to come together, it's I mean, it's not
always easy to have two country bands to be able
to play together, or a country or you know, a
gospel group or whatever. It's it's it's about the gelling
of the styles here, I mean absolutely yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
And you know, I have to say though, one of
the things that I love so much about this orchestra,
I mean there are many, many things, but our musicians
are not only incredibly talented, they're incredibly flexible and incredibly curious.
I mean, the West Unio Symphony is an orchestra full
of musicians who you know, play Bethoven one night and.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The Blues the next night.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I mean, it's really a group of people that are
so open, sort of open minded, open hearted in the
way they make music and really love learning about all
different types of music. And so you know, there's there
I can't think of a better orchestra to do this project.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Talk about because obviously with your background, you said that
you've been Illinois, Texas all these what part of Texas.
By the way, Dallas go Cowboys. It's right, we won yesterday.
We'd beat Washington.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It's all. I don't care for you.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You know, the one one the one season that Dallas
won one game. We Washington in that game.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So the night might take that.
Speaker 10 (09:06):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
But but talk about somebody with your background being in Charleston,
West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
What was it that appeal to you about being here?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
I think the what appealed to me the most is,
you know, the Westernia Symphony and I was, you know,
recruited to come here for the position, and the position
was I mean attractive for so many reasons. I think
the West Menia Symphony is really a real gem in
the state. And one of the things about it that
(09:34):
is so unusual is that it's the sort of it's
a bit of a sweet spot of a size of
orchestra where we are big enough as an as an
institution to do really interesting things and to do big
projects and to be able to, you know, a year
in advance plan something like this kind of concert, which
you need, you know, a certain amount of staff support
and a certain amount of budget and a certain amount of
(09:54):
things to be able to do things like this. But
also we are small enough that we i really feel
sort of right, not just connected to our audience, but
just one of the audience members, you know. I mean
we see people at the grocery store, we see people
at the barbershop. It really feels like we are just
part of the fabric of life here in a way
(10:17):
that sometimes it in a much bigger institution you would
feel a lot more distance.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
That's and that's a really good point because I mean
the person that you're seeing playing cello one stage, you
might see a capital market you know exactly. The week before,
you might see a Gomart or something you know exactly.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
And so that kind of real sweet spot of sort
of you know, big enough to do really interesting things
at a high level, but small enough to feel like
just one of the guys on the street is is
That's a hard thing to find, and it's really special.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Here talk about the Clay Center.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
The Clay Center has been i mean a wonderful partner
of ours for many years, and you know, it's really
amazing to get to perform every weekend in a hall
that was built for the orchestra. You know that that
that hall at the Clay Center was built for the orchestra.
And there are so many orchestras around the country that
are performing in you know, converted vaudeville theaters or you know,
(11:07):
something like that, and you know, credit to them, Like,
you should make music anywhere you can. Music is great,
we should play it all the time. But to get
to have a home where you know, we're in a
hall that is built for an orchestra, that sounds like
it's built for an orchestra, that has the acoustics of
an orchestra, that also just even like little things like
has the backstage set up of an orchestra, you know,
that makes it. You know, all of those things make
(11:28):
such a big difference.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
And again I think that's a good point. It was
built for an orchestra. And obviously there are other type
of shows. But any musician that I have ever talked
to of any genre it's ever played the Clay Center,
they love it.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I mean they just love the and.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
I'm not a musician, okay, but but but they like
yet well at fifty five.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's probably never.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Know the interesting listeners. No, I've talked about you know,
my family in the past. My dad is a was
a s was a singery past, but he was an
accomplished gospel singer. I've got my wall at home, I've
got is music hanging up my sister can saying, I'm
literally the only person in the entire family that does
not play music and does not I do.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
This is what I do.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We can fix this.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
It sounds like you need some cello lessons.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, well we'll fix this. Aman to talk about the
show again before we let you go.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah, of course. Saturday October twenty fifth, seven thirty pm

But Danny Jones coming up a little bit later. On
the No King's rallies held across America's Saturday, over seven
million people took part, taking to the streets to protest
the policies of the Trump administration. Big one held here
in Charleston started at the at the bird at the
Federal Courthouse, and then why did its way down to
the Capitol. Let's hold it was one of the speakers
(16:51):
of the event in Charleston. He joined us Now, Wes,
good morning, welcome to the show.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Good morning to you, and thank you for having me on.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Thank you for being here. Estimate ballpark figure, how many
people do you think were there on Saturday?
Speaker 8 (17:04):
Well, I disagree with the newspaper. I was standing up
at the podium and looking out over the crowd, and
the majority of the crowd, because of the heat, were
under the trees in the shade, and I would say
there was at least a thousand, if maybe eleven hundred,
(17:25):
But you know, it was much more than the five
hundred that the newspaper was indicating.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Well, and I actually some of the CV coverage that
I saw of that that's kind of was my takeaway too,
that there because it was an incredibly warm day for October,
and that there were a lot of people under the
trees and everything.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Was it pretty much what you expected it to be
as far as the crowd goes.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Oh, yes, I even expected more because of the many
Facebook posts and people said they were coming. But the
reason the crowd might not have been as large as
what it could have been was the number of rallies
is held across the state. And I think the first
Noteen's Day there were you know, like four or five,
(18:07):
But this time there were rallies held in a lot
of little, smaller towns where those individuals would have come
to Charleston.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Yeah, I was looking and I read some of the
ones across the state. I mean it was what I mean,
you know, when you had these type of events West,
you know, you're gonna have Charleston, you're gonna have Morgantown,
You're gonna have Marginburger. But it was a lot of
other little towns across West Virginia that kind of surprised me,
to be honest with.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
You exactly, I was surprised too. You know, Lewisburg, Princeton, Sayetteville,
and that's just a few from down here. Then you
had much more further north.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Why was this so important to you to take part?
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Well, and it's not just to me, but I think
a lot of West Virginian's And then when you think
about the number of rallies and people that turned out
across the country. I think it's what we see as
a degradation and a rooting of our country's founding principles.
(19:10):
And you know, we're supposed to have three equal branches
of government and not a government that complies and caves
into the unconstitutional wins and demands of a president, you know,
not of decentralized government. But it's hard to see a
country we love descending too fascism and authoritative government. And
(19:33):
thinking about it, why can't we have congressional Republicans who
upheld the laws and the constitution, much like the Republicans
did during the Watergate hearings.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
You're talking to Wes Soholden, who was one of those
who took part in the No Kings rally and Charleston
on Saturday. What did you you spoke as well? Tell
us what you spoke about, I mean, give us the
warning I should say.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Well, yeah, I really spoke about our elected leaders in Congress.
I spoke about Shelley Moore and Carol Miller or Shelley Capta.
You learn him for a long time. One color Shelley Moore,
And you know, one of the things that they haven't
(20:19):
done and that the people are asking for is that
they hold town hall meetings to talk about the big
bill that they passed. And if they, you know, it
makes the people feel they cannot defend their vote to
raise our healthcare premiums, and we feel they're afraid to
face the music. They refuse to meet with their constituents,
(20:43):
the people they're supposed to represent and fight for, because
they can't explain why they're wanting to cut our healthcare
but give more of our taxes to billionaire donors. And
you know, even Marjorie Taylor Green is telling her constituents
in Georgia that, you know, this is wrong, and I
(21:05):
have to give her credit, and she's telling the truth
while the Republican Party is hiding behind the skirts of
Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It is interesting and it's kind of bizarro world. What
do you think about it, Wes, that Marjorie Taylor Green
is speaking out against the Republican Party and being praised
by Democrats for it.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
Well, exactly, And if Carol Mill and Shelley Capsto thought
it was really big, they'd be on the rooftop with
a megaphone bragging about what they did.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
But again, you know, I.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
Think most of West Virginians, as you know, especially during
a second Trump administration, we feel we're getting sold out.
We're getting stuck with a higher cost of living and
the menish quality of life as the tariffs keep going up.
And you know, if West Virginians have it bad enough,
(21:58):
you know, with our kno me And it just feels
like some of these politicians they don't care about the
working people or even some of the poor people. They
want to turn those into a third world country. And also,
you know, one of the things that I mentioned thinking
about it, Carol Miller, was a deciding vote to pass
(22:24):
Trump's big beautiful bill. And when you think about what
they're doing, they're taking food out of the mouths of
hungry West Virginia children and giving another tax break to
their donors. And sometimes we think of corruption as illegal,
but corruption is really just a betrayal of the public's trust,
(22:45):
and it's the abuse of their public office. And it's
just terrible. And they cannot even descend Trump's tariffs. And
we in West Virginia are feeling the financial burden of
increasing costs for food, housing, and utilities.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Talking to West Holding, I'm sorry, go ahead no, and.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
They see, as you know, the rally, and they see
this as a threat to the broken status quo that
varies the voices of the working people beneath their corporate sponsors.
And you know, they want to call its antifa, like
there's an organization. No one at these rallies was paid,
(23:26):
and many people made up their own signs, went and
at signs posted, So you know, if they want to
call us antifa, you know, I think everyone at the
rally felt we are anti fascists and we don't want
the fascist form of government that if you know history,
you know, especially one hundred years ago and the rise
(23:47):
of fascist powers, we see that coming about now. That's
what people are alarmed about. We went true democracy.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
That's one of the things that you hear a lot.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
And again we're talking to West holding Is people will say,
I mean even I read the comments you know, on
our coverage and the television stations and newspapers and whatever
you're in Charleston about people being paid to be there,
And I mean I know people that were there. I
don't think that you got rich off what you were
paid to be there because you weren't paid, right.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
No, I was not paid and no one was, you know,
and you know, people, I had to give them credit,
the small groups of people and organizations that funded this.
You know, they had to put some money together to
get the word out. And I don't know what all
(24:40):
they had to rent, but you know, it took work
of volunteers to put this rally together. And you know,
thinking about patriots patriotism, you know, my forefathers were here
on the tenth generation in West Virginia, but my forefathers
were here in Charleston when you had Fort Lee, and
(25:01):
you know, they were there at Fort Lee with Daniel Boone,
and they fought the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, you know,
the various wars. And I'm a decorated veteran from the
Vietnam era. But we're all wanting to be patriots. And
true patriotism urges us to build an even more substantial
(25:21):
America or West Virginia, where the good things of life
may be shared by more of us, where social injustice
will not be allowed to flourish as it's being done now.
And I feel that there's no King's Day was a
shot heard around the world that the people you know
of the United States support democracy of the people, by
(25:45):
the people and for the people. And I you know,
if you sum it up to me, I feel that's
why people took to the streets. They want the government
of the people, for the people, by the people.

so all my social media, you know, people saying, well,
(26:17):
if there were kings, this wouldn't be allowed. There are
no kings in America. To that, and we got to
close it up to that.

You would say what I would say, of course, we
have no kings. But we are fighting against wanna be kings.

wanna be king. We want to have a president who

salf not I got a couple of texts here. Text
says not much of a protest when the predicimants have
to stay in the shade, says the text. Oh hot,
text says Dave Florida guy here. The Democrats have gone
(29:35):
so far off the deep end of the next two
elections will make them irrelevant. After the twenty twenty eight election,
there will be two hundred and seventy five Republican House members,
sixty five Senate members. They are the modern day Whig
Party who disappeared in the eighteen fifties. Text said why
should I help three Kingsgay pay for its insurance? Nobody
helps me, says a text texts says, I wonder if
(30:00):
we could get Texas to send their National Guard to
West Virginia to help people that's been flooded and trying
to get in their homes before winter. Texas talked to
a lot of active military and no King's Riley and
they don't like being sent to cities for political reasons.
They feel trapped in the middle. Would like to know
how far military leaders let Trump go until enough is enough.
This needs to be answered.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Texas.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Millard's own son doesn't like what's going on in our
states and the country, and that says a lot Texas.
Dave Tel Republicans. We can't buy guns with the government
shut down. This is hunting season.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Get to work or resign, says a Texter. Danny Jones
is here here you doing, my friend?
Speaker 9 (30:40):
I'm doing fun. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
All right?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
So you were listening to the interview I did with
Wes Holden and you told me to break you in
westco known each other for some time.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Good man good man, your take on what he said.
I think Trump was elected. He was, he got the
most votes. And I'm not reading, but I'm listening to
Kamala Harris's book. It's just sad. It's nothing but a
diary and she offers no solutions. Let me talk about
(31:12):
works salad.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
One of the criticisms, and I have not read it,
of the Kamala Harris book, is that uh. And several
people have said this on both sides, said that she
blames everybody but herself.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
That your takeaway with you.
Speaker 9 (31:27):
She has nothing to offer. She has nothing to offer.
It was not a good choice they had. You know,
I've got my choice of uh, and I've set them
before on this station. My choice. You know who you knew?
Really good? Of course, she'd never get married or never
get elected. He's married to a man, not Boodhagete, but
(31:48):
that governor, yes, him, and the Republican governor of Utah,
and Josh Shapiro. That's your guy, Josh, that is my guy.
And if he uh, he couldn't get nominated, not in
this party, not the same party that's putting.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Up that's uh, the socialist who's going to be the
next mayor of New York.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
So, well, it's gonna be, it's gonna be. And you know,
I was listening to Georgia Will and uh, he said,
we need this, We need to demonstrate to people what
it's going to be like with a socialist in charge.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
But I mean, I understand what did.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
I have a lot of respect for George Will, as
I know you do as well, and I understand what
he's saying. But that's kind of a big experiment to
see if it goes wrong on the largest city in America.
Speaker 9 (32:36):
Well, you'll have people that will that live there, that
will they'll they'll make the Florida move. They'll they'll keep there,
They'll keep their high end apartment on Park Avenue like
Schwartzman somebody like that. But they'll they'll plant their feet
in a state where there's I mean, in New York,
(32:58):
you pay a lot of taxes. You pay a state taxes,
and you pay a huge amount of city taxes. And
he wants to raise those taxes more in order to
have free buses and and city owned grocery stores. Will
tell yeah, yeah, and and and when you think about
(33:18):
that and more, his frame of reference, are they going
to be any Are there workers going to be any union?
What are they going strike? I mean, it's no, it's
it's it's gonna. It's gonna. They're going to pay a
big price for this.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Did you happen to I texted you last week, but uh,
did you I didn't see it? Okay, that's that's okay.
Did you happen to see that? You didn't see the
town hall?
Speaker 10 (33:44):
No?
Speaker 9 (33:44):
I wish I would.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
It was.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
I mean, I'm sure you can find it online or
something's probably available with their wist that it was really
good and talking about the one uh that Cuomo did
on News Nation, I mean, other than Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I mean, and I'm sorry. I I like Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
I actually saw him when he came to Charleston with
Dennis meth uh several years ago. O'Reilly probably should not
have been a part of that. I mean, I'll just say.
Speaker 9 (34:06):
Okay, so Cuoma was on it.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Yeah, who else was there?
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Joe Manchin, Stephen A. Smith, Holman, the borders are I
mean it was there was like ten fifteen people. There
was a couple of podcasters one that's that's kind of
Since Charlie Kirk's death, that's kind of risen up in
that turning point organizable. I don't know, I don't think so, okay,
but there were a I mean it was. But the
(34:30):
problem I think with this Danny and I talked about
this on the on the show last week is everybody had,
even the far left and far right people that were
on it, they were all saying, we've got to turn
down the temperature. We've got to turn and we know this,
but you're preaching to the proverbial choir there because the
people that needed to hear that weren't in in that.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Room, you know.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
And now if they were, they blaming on the other side.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
That's and and we did see some of that.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
I mean, that was the only really heated part of
it was between there were two young gentlemen, one with
Attorney Point Organization and the other who was his counterpart
but to the far left. And and that was really
the only heated discussion that was there. I want to
ask you get back to the no Kings thing though
for a moment. How much of I mean, you were
(35:18):
traveling this weekend, but sure you've read a lot about it,
your take on seven million people across the country about
depending on I mean West kind of took issue with
the number that I guess that some organizations used somewhere
somewhere above five hundred something like that, one thousand control.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
Well, I don't know about here because I was in Charleston.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
There were I think some published reports said five hundred.
He said closer to eight or nine hundred.
Speaker 9 (35:45):
But well, I was in Virginia. I was at vm
I with my son, and I mean, it's not a
big deal. It's it's a collective of people that are
(36:06):
trying to find community and hatred. Really, those people hate Trump.
I mean, I don't know what else, what other words,
I don't know what other word to use. And I'm
no fan, and neither of you. I mean, I didn't
(36:27):
vote for him.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
What do you think about Mike Johnson's statement that they
should have called those they should have called these hate
America rallies that they.
Speaker 9 (36:33):
Hate no because he needs to pipe down. That's something. Look,
I'm a talk show guy. I say stuff like that,
but he's a speaker of the House. It's not a Hey,
I take that back. It was not a hate hate
America rally. They don't like Donald Trump. They just don't
(36:53):
like him, and he he he strokes it, he lights
him up, be gas likes them.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Did you see the video, the AI video that he released.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
It was him as a top gun pilot and they
were playing danger Zone and it was it was AI
generated of him and the plane said King Trump on
the side, and of him dropping feces on the protesters.
Speaker 9 (37:20):
He's a draft doctor. I mean, why what president would
do that? And what do you him putting those pictures
up in the White House, And I mean, I guess
this is funny to some people. Put an auto pen
where Biden belongs. He took down General Millery's picture in
the Pentagon. He took away of security. I mean what
(37:42):
I see he makes it worse because he plays into it.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
I mean, knock out a couple of texts. Here, Texas,
there's nothing wrong. Everything's great. Prices aren't high, good paying
jobs are available left and right. I actually had to
turn down three six figure jobs on my way to
work this morning. The border's closed. Nobody does drugs anymore,
Autism has been eliminated, diseases no longer exists, so no
need for vaccines. Argentina getting forty billion dollars while Snap
is going to run out of November, America is back, baby.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
A little sarcasm. Little sarcasm there.
Speaker 9 (38:13):
Well, the border is closed, he said, the borders closed.
The borders closed. I mean, he said, what he's going
to do there? They take up for Chicago for a minute.
I go to Chicago, ocase and well, just my son
Andrew and I'll take a train, we'll go up there
and spend the night, get off and spend the day
(38:37):
walk around. And most of Chicago's really beautiful and if
you've got time to go to a Cubs game, that's
the best deal around. But there's an area there called Inglewood,
and that's where the problems are. And that's the problem.
(38:59):
That's where it gets all. If you if you could
ever get Mike Tobin on here from Fox, he could
tell you it's that's most of Chicago's sign.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
Well, and I don't think that's unlike a lot of cities.
I've got, you know, friends that live in Pittsburgh, for example,
and there are certain The problem with Pittsburgh is the
problems are downtown. You know where everybody is. But I
mean it's it's no different than any any other city.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
I mean it's not.
Speaker 5 (39:24):

want a better definition of that.
Speaker 5 (40:33):
Okay, all right, texture you have an assignment, uh Tex,
says speak Speaker of the House. Mike Johnson is a
coward protecting a pedophile. Carol Miller and Riley Moore should
urge Johnson to seat And I'm still not quite sure
how to pronounce the particular congress person so they can
release the files.
Speaker 9 (40:51):
You know, if if they don't open this government by December,
the sub of these for the Affordable Care Act expire,
so the extra sub that's what they're fighting for.

Do you do you think it's not gonna be till December?
Do you think I don't know?
Speaker 9 (41:15):
I'm I'm gonna take a plane trip on twelfth of December,
and I'm I'm not planning on it. I mean, I mean,
will you tell me how this thing breaks? It's gonna
take the only thing that would break it is if
the Republicans evoked the nuclear option. And I don't think
(41:38):
they've got the vote, in other words, to change the
rules of the Senate. Mitch McConnell won't vote for it.
Rand Paul won't even vote for the budget. So that's
two votes down.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
Yes, So an interview he was on one of the
Sunday morning shows. I think it was on this week
yesterday Rand Paul was. I think it's what I saw
him yesterday.
Speaker 9 (42:01):
Yeah, he won't even vote for the budget because of
our debt is so high.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
Well, and like he said, and I may get the
figures mixed up here the impasse between Republicans and Democrats.
One wants to raise it and I forget what feary
he used five trillion, the other wants to raise it
eight trillion. Nobody's taking it seriously.
Speaker 9 (42:20):
Well, nobody talks about it. And our kids are going
to pay for it. Yeah, one of my kids have
paid for Uh.

a beach to sell you prime interstate location two Sex. Well,
what you say, I guess you said, do you believe
the government?
Speaker 9 (42:38):
On what? I don't remember?
Speaker 3 (42:40):
What Tex says.
Speaker 5 (42:41):
Corporate welfare is the government's financial assistance, subsidies, tax breaks,
and other favorable policies given a private businesses and specific industries. Okay,

no King's protest after your own party refused to hold
a primary, de nominate your candidate, anointed that selected candidate
(46:10):
without your voice, heard selected candidate who did not receive
one single vote in the twenty twenty Iowa coxies, and
that to drop out gave that candidate over a billion dollars,
and she wound up twenty million dollars in the whole.
Through everything with the kitchen sink of the so called
king you hate, nothing seems to take him down. And
this is a last ditch, desperate attempt. You disgustingly and
(46:31):
evillly cheer on and encouraging murder of that king as
voters and supporters tell me again how you're representative of America,
says it's exter.
Speaker 9 (46:40):
Well, I mean, that's a little bit overdone, but it's true.
They didn't have a primary. Nancy Pelosi wanted one, you know,
to have a primary to pick a success for Biden.
They couldn't. They might have won the election, but not.
Speaker 5 (46:56):
With her text says they don't want Trump, who was
Democratic elected by the majority of us both electoral and
popular in every swing state. You people need to grow
up and deal with it. He's leftist. Temper chanters only
happen when a Republican wins the White House.
Speaker 9 (47:10):
I don't think i'd use temper tempters and Donald Trump
in the same sentence.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Yeah, I would agree with that, right. So you made
a trip this weekend.
Speaker 9 (47:20):
I went to VMI Virginia Military Institute to see my
my son, whom I get emotional thinking him. I'm so
proud of him, and he's he's a freshman there, and
they had a football game and the first game that
West Virginia University plays next year is against vm I.
(47:45):
And if they don't beat vm I, and it's time
for Rodbergers to go there.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
Not good? I mean what no, I mean, simply put.
Speaker 9 (47:58):
I mean they have a real nice tail gate thing
going on, a lot of fellowship. You know, it's right
next to WNL watching Lee and it's got a big
statue of George Catlet Marshall, Marshall Plan. But to go
down the museum and there's Stonewall Jackson stuff towards and
(48:20):
you know General all the general that's set Georgia on fire,
what was his name? Set the whole state on fire? Sherman,
he set v in my own fire and There's still
a few old buildings over there, but most of them
are new, so it was. It was quite an experience,
(48:47):
and I just I can't get over being around my son.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
He's uh, there's no good things down there. He should
be very very proud.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
I am Uh Texas Uh Kamala did not picked Shapiro
because he's Jewish. Look at how evil and anti Semitic
the Democratic Party has gone of the last five years.
What happened to never again? They are why millions like
myself walked walked away from these loons.
Speaker 9 (49:12):
I think she didn't. That couldn't That could have been
why she didn't pick him. I think he would have
vushown her. I mean, he's because he's so far superior
to me to be of any of those candidates. Josh Shapiro.
Speaker 18 (49:27):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (49:27):
Text, you ask what corporations were being held receiving the
corporate welfare as a textas said, Texture responds, Amazon, Walmart,
oil industries, corporate agriculture, just to name a few. They
all have favorable policies and subsidies and tax breaks.
Speaker 9 (49:42):
I'm not sorry, I don't. I don't get that. I
don't I'm not I'm not convinced Walmart, walmartt's tax, federal tax.
Speaker 5 (49:53):
Jay, you want to weigh in on this, what's the question?
We were talking about corporate welfare? And mixture said Walmart
and Amazon and a couple of these as examples of
corporate welfare.
Speaker 9 (50:05):
I can be educated, by the way, but I Walmart
doesn't get federal tax breaks.
Speaker 10 (50:11):
I mean, give me specific examples to the text over
here's I know what they're complaining about. Look, if you
don't have a realized income on certain projects, certain p
and ls, whatever, you're not going to pay taxes on it.
And that's what they complain about, no realized income. Well,
some years that doesn't happen.
Speaker 9 (50:26):
Well Trump Trump did that, He pointed that out. And Trump,
when you have when you take a loss in one
of your companies, shouldn't have to pay taxes and you
probably shouldn't.
Speaker 10 (50:37):
That's why Elizabeth Warren wanted to go after everybody's net
worth because they weren't posting income in a certain year.
She had a problem with Elon Musk in a certain
year not filing any because he didn't have realized income.
Speaker 3 (50:48):
Well guess what Elon Musk has done A heck of
a lot. You think NASA. I mean SpaceX balled us out.
When it comes to the space race.
Speaker 9 (50:55):
That's the well, that's the social ansor just confiscated other
people's wealth. We've got money to pay for it's just
not mine.
Speaker 5 (51:05):
What's going to ask about your son? If he intended
I'm pursuing a military career.
Speaker 9 (51:10):
At one time, he does, he did, I'm not sure
about it. Now he's in the army part there. You
you can be in the Air Force or the Marine Corps.
The commandant of that place is a lieutenant jenner on
the Marine Corps. And I met him, but I don't know.
(51:34):
Not everybody does, right, Yeah, and it would be okay
with me if he did.
Speaker 5 (51:39):

but you know what is always great instruments.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
There you go, there, you go right perfect and you
have with y'all, haved Let you introduce your get here.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I try to work on a computer here.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I am really excited. I have our music director, Mauric's
Cone with me this morning.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Maurice, good morning, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Great to be here.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Do you know anything about computers?
Speaker 7 (02:29):
Unfortunately, no, only.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Talk about keys ed keys.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I'm very funny.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Yeah, and I'm gonna need you to host the show.
So while I'm trying to get this computer things straight down. Now, Amanda,
you've been on the show, of course, numerous times in
the past, and you're on here, but murray, someone get
to know you little. But give us your background.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
So I am the music directory in conductor of Westernia Symphony.
I'm in my third year here in Charleston, and before
that I lived in Texas and I originally I grew
up in Illinois. I a cellist and sort of found
conducting a little bit late later in life and now
very happy to be making music here.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
What was it about the conducting aspect of it that
you that you like so much?
Speaker 7 (03:12):
I sort of, you know, I mean, I was a cellist,
and so I played in a lot of orchestras. Uh huh,
And you know, orchestras are just really fascinating organisms. You know,
there's eighty ninety one hundred people on stage and it
all sounds like one thing. And I became really obsessed
with how that happens, how the first trumpet player communicates
(03:33):
with the first violin player, and how the percussionist knows
when to come in to be right on time with
the cellist. And the conductor is really the person responsible
for making all of that happen right, and so I
really became sort of obsessed with figuring out how to
do that.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Do all members of an orchestra want to be a
conductor someday?
Speaker 7 (03:51):
I wouldn't say all.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Or it's kind of like actors and that they want
to be a director at some point do that or
they think maybe they can do it better.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
I don't mean that way, But absolutely no, I think
I mean, I think there's a natural curiosity about the
job because it's a kind of an odd job. You know,
you're a musician, but you're not supposed to make any sound.
You know, you're supposed to just make it.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Never of it that way.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
If you're if you're if you're making sound, something has
gotten horribly wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
Yeah, So you know you're you're you're a musician, but
your job is really to make it possible for other
people to do their job really well. And it's a
very kind of mysterious thing because the physical gestures and
all of that is are a little bit unintuitive. And
so I think for everybody in anybody in an orchestra,
and really anybody in the audience or anything, there's a
(04:39):
natural curiosity about it. And so I think a lot
of people want to sort of well, like, you know,
I kind of want to try that. I want to
see what all the fuss is like, and I want
to do that, you know. And so I think that
that is is very common, and that's certainly was how
I started. I was sitting in an orchestra thinking like, oh,
that's kind of a weird thing to be doing. I
want to see what that's like, and I fell in
love with it.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
What age did did? Did you? Did you start playing music?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (04:59):
I started playing music really young. I was, you know,
three or four years old, but then I started I
didn't start conducting until I was in college.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Were you what they called a prodigy? No, I would.
I mean I was very lucky.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
I had great teachers in everything, but I had pretty
normal childhood music.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I have a child musical family, not professionally.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
I mean my parents, they they they've been to Westernion
Stiphony concerts several times. They make the trip from Illinois
to see us. They are really happy about it, but
they're not professional musicians.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
No.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
All right, Amanda, appreciate you bringing him here with us
today and weren't talking him a little bit more, But
I'm going to talk specifically about some things that you
got going on with the same players.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Yeah, we are really excited. So Maurice is actually gonna
be leading in the orchestration of not only the symphony
this Saturday, but with several different local bands. So we're
really excited. We're gonna have the Company Stores, the John
Ingram Band, and Chill lem join on the stage. With
the orchestra this Saturday, October twenty fifth for what we're
calling Listen where You Live. So it's part of our
cmm Marchitects and Engineers Pop series. It is a really
(05:57):
great way to kick off this really fun which incorporates
a lot of things that you don't traditionally think of
when you think of classical music, things like Santa Claus
for our Sounds of the season's concert all we having
a magician come on on the second half of the
season a law as well too, So things that really
are fun. And we're really kicking off with some amazing
tributes to local music.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
And I love the fact that, again the last time
you're here, you talked about this whole concept that's Listen
where you Live. Yeah, listen where you live, because again
when you and I talked about this, there can be
that stigma that all the symphonies stuck up and whatever.
I mean, Number one, that's not been my experiencing time
I've ever been there at any any performance. Okay, that's
number one, But number two, this is really going They're
(06:39):
all fun, but this is going to be a really
really fun concert.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
It is well, and I'm Matt Jackbert who was a
member of the company stores and a local arrangering composer,
has been working really really hard for the last five six,
seven more than that months right now to get all
of these charts together so the orchestra and these bands
can really combine for what's probably going to be once
in a lifetime moment on stage with the sympathy at
the Clay Center. So it's going to be a not
(07:04):
to miss concert.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
What kind of rehearsal has to go in this, Maurice,
I mean, in order to pull this off, because again
you're talking about some very very vastly different styles coming together.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Here, absolutely right, So yeah, there's a lot of rehearsal
and also a lot of sort of before rehearsal preparation. So,
as Amando was saying, you know, one of the both
challenges but also really exciting things about this Weekend's project
is that, you know, these bands don't normally play with
an orchestra, and as an orchestra, we don't normally play
their music, and so we have been working with Matt
(07:36):
Jackford over the last yeah, almost a year now to
basically create custom versions of all of this music so
that we can all play it together. And so that
has been a really big, really sort of big project,
and he's done an amazing job with that, and so
that goes a long way towards you know, really sort
of literally making sure we're all on the same page
and so that we're prepared.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, exactly, And even for different musicians outside what you
normally do to come together, it's I mean, it's not
always easy to have two country bands to be able
to play together, or a country or you know, a
gospel group or whatever. It's it's it's about the gelling
of the styles here, I mean absolutely yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
And you know, I have to say though, one of
the things that I love so much about this orchestra,
I mean there are many, many things, but our musicians
are not only incredibly talented, they're incredibly flexible and incredibly curious.
I mean, the West Unio Symphony is an orchestra full
of musicians who you know, play Bethoven one night and.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The Blues the next night.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I mean, it's really a group of people that are
so open, sort of open minded, open hearted in the
way they make music and really love learning about all
different types of music. And so you know, there's there
I can't think of a better orchestra to do this project.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Talk about because obviously with your background, you said that
you've been Illinois, Texas all these what part of Texas.
By the way, Dallas go Cowboys. It's right, we won yesterday.
We'd beat Washington.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It's all. I don't care for you.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You know, the one one the one season that Dallas
won one game. We Washington in that game.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So the night might take that.
Speaker 10 (09:06):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
But but talk about somebody with your background being in Charleston,
West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
What was it that appeal to you about being here?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
I think the what appealed to me the most is,
you know, the Westernia Symphony and I was, you know,
recruited to come here for the position, and the position
was I mean attractive for so many reasons. I think
the West Menia Symphony is really a real gem in
the state. And one of the things about it that
(09:34):
is so unusual is that it's the sort of it's
a bit of a sweet spot of a size of
orchestra where we are big enough as an as an
institution to do really interesting things and to do big
projects and to be able to, you know, a year
in advance plan something like this kind of concert, which
you need, you know, a certain amount of staff support
and a certain amount of budget and a certain amount of
(09:54):
things to be able to do things like this. But
also we are small enough that we i really feel
sort of right, not just connected to our audience, but
just one of the audience members, you know. I mean
we see people at the grocery store, we see people
at the barbershop. It really feels like we are just
part of the fabric of life here in a way
(10:17):
that sometimes it in a much bigger institution you would
feel a lot more distance.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
That's and that's a really good point because I mean
the person that you're seeing playing cello one stage, you
might see a capital market you know exactly. The week before,
you might see a Gomart or something you know exactly.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
And so that kind of real sweet spot of sort
of you know, big enough to do really interesting things
at a high level, but small enough to feel like
just one of the guys on the street is is
That's a hard thing to find, and it's really special.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Here talk about the Clay Center.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
The Clay Center has been i mean a wonderful partner
of ours for many years, and you know, it's really
amazing to get to perform every weekend in a hall
that was built for the orchestra. You know that that
that hall at the Clay Center was built for the orchestra.
And there are so many orchestras around the country that
are performing in you know, converted vaudeville theaters or you know,
(11:07):
something like that, and you know, credit to them, Like,
you should make music anywhere you can. Music is great,
we should play it all the time. But to get
to have a home where you know, we're in a
hall that is built for an orchestra, that sounds like
it's built for an orchestra, that has the acoustics of
an orchestra, that also just even like little things like
has the backstage set up of an orchestra, you know,
that makes it. You know, all of those things make
(11:28):
such a big difference.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
And again I think that's a good point. It was
built for an orchestra. And obviously there are other type
of shows. But any musician that I have ever talked
to of any genre it's ever played the Clay Center,
they love it.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I mean they just love the and.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
I'm not a musician, okay, but but but they like
yet well at fifty five.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's probably never.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Know the interesting listeners. No, I've talked about you know,
my family in the past. My dad is a was
a s was a singery past, but he was an
accomplished gospel singer. I've got my wall at home, I've
got is music hanging up my sister can saying, I'm
literally the only person in the entire family that does
not play music and does not I do.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
This is what I do.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We can fix this.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
It sounds like you need some cello lessons.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, well we'll fix this. Aman to talk about the
show again before we let you go.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah, of course. Saturday October twenty fifth, seven thirty pm

I am really excited to feature Sholem as well, one

the No King's rallies held across America's Saturday, over seven
million people took part, taking to the streets to protest
the policies of the Trump administration. Big one held here
in Charleston started at the at the bird at the
Federal Courthouse, and then why did its way down to
the Capitol. Let's hold it was one of the speakers
(16:51):
of the event in Charleston. He joined us Now, Wes,
good morning, welcome to the show.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Good morning to you, and thank you for having me on.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Thank you for being here. Estimate ballpark figure, how many
people do you think were there on Saturday?
Speaker 8 (17:04):
Well, I disagree with the newspaper. I was standing up
at the podium and looking out over the crowd, and
the majority of the crowd, because of the heat, were
under the trees in the shade, and I would say
there was at least a thousand, if maybe eleven hundred,
(17:25):
But you know, it was much more than the five
hundred that the newspaper was indicating.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Well, and I actually some of the CV coverage that
I saw of that that's kind of was my takeaway too,
that there because it was an incredibly warm day for October,
and that there were a lot of people under the
trees and everything.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Was it pretty much what you expected it to be
as far as the crowd goes.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Oh, yes, I even expected more because of the many
Facebook posts and people said they were coming. But the
reason the crowd might not have been as large as
what it could have been was the number of rallies
is held across the state. And I think the first
Noteen's Day there were you know, like four or five,
(18:07):
But this time there were rallies held in a lot
of little, smaller towns where those individuals would have come
to Charleston.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Yeah, I was looking and I read some of the
ones across the state. I mean it was what I mean,
you know, when you had these type of events West,
you know, you're gonna have Charleston, you're gonna have Morgantown,
You're gonna have Marginburger. But it was a lot of
other little towns across West Virginia that kind of surprised me,
to be honest with.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
You exactly, I was surprised too. You know, Lewisburg, Princeton, Sayetteville,
and that's just a few from down here. Then you
had much more further north.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Why was this so important to you to take part?
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Well, and it's not just to me, but I think
a lot of West Virginian's And then when you think
about the number of rallies and people that turned out
across the country. I think it's what we see as
a degradation and a rooting of our country's founding principles.
(19:10):
And you know, we're supposed to have three equal branches
of government and not a government that complies and caves
into the unconstitutional wins and demands of a president, you know,
not of decentralized government. But it's hard to see a
country we love descending too fascism and authoritative government. And
(19:33):
thinking about it, why can't we have congressional Republicans who
upheld the laws and the constitution, much like the Republicans
did during the Watergate hearings.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
You're talking to Wes Soholden, who was one of those
who took part in the No Kings rally and Charleston
on Saturday. What did you you spoke as well? Tell
us what you spoke about, I mean, give us the
warning I should say.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Well, yeah, I really spoke about our elected leaders in Congress.
I spoke about Shelley Moore and Carol Miller or Shelley Capta.
You learn him for a long time. One color Shelley Moore,
And you know, one of the things that they haven't
(20:19):
done and that the people are asking for is that
they hold town hall meetings to talk about the big
bill that they passed. And if they, you know, it
makes the people feel they cannot defend their vote to
raise our healthcare premiums, and we feel they're afraid to
face the music. They refuse to meet with their constituents,
(20:43):
the people they're supposed to represent and fight for, because
they can't explain why they're wanting to cut our healthcare
but give more of our taxes to billionaire donors. And
you know, even Marjorie Taylor Green is telling her constituents
in Georgia that, you know, this is wrong, and I
(21:05):
have to give her credit, and she's telling the truth
while the Republican Party is hiding behind the skirts of
Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It is interesting and it's kind of bizarro world. What
do you think about it, Wes, that Marjorie Taylor Green
is speaking out against the Republican Party and being praised
by Democrats for it.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
Well, exactly, And if Carol Mill and Shelley Capsto thought
it was really big, they'd be on the rooftop with
a megaphone bragging about what they did.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
But again, you know, I.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
Think most of West Virginians, as you know, especially during
a second Trump administration, we feel we're getting sold out.
We're getting stuck with a higher cost of living and
the menish quality of life as the tariffs keep going up.
And you know, if West Virginians have it bad enough,
(21:58):
you know, with our kno me And it just feels
like some of these politicians they don't care about the
working people or even some of the poor people. They
want to turn those into a third world country. And also,
you know, one of the things that I mentioned thinking
about it, Carol Miller, was a deciding vote to pass
(22:24):
Trump's big beautiful bill. And when you think about what
they're doing, they're taking food out of the mouths of
hungry West Virginia children and giving another tax break to
their donors. And sometimes we think of corruption as illegal,
but corruption is really just a betrayal of the public's trust,
(22:45):
and it's the abuse of their public office. And it's
just terrible. And they cannot even descend Trump's tariffs. And
we in West Virginia are feeling the financial burden of
increasing costs for food, housing, and utilities.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Talking to West Holding, I'm sorry, go ahead no, and.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
They see, as you know, the rally, and they see
this as a threat to the broken status quo that
varies the voices of the working people beneath their corporate sponsors.
And you know, they want to call its antifa, like
there's an organization. No one at these rallies was paid,
(23:26):
and many people made up their own signs, went and
at signs posted, So you know, if they want to
call us antifa, you know, I think everyone at the
rally felt we are anti fascists and we don't want
the fascist form of government that if you know history,
you know, especially one hundred years ago and the rise
(23:47):
of fascist powers, we see that coming about now. That's
what people are alarmed about. We went true democracy.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
That's one of the things that you hear a lot.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
And again we're talking to West holding Is people will say,
I mean even I read the comments you know, on
our coverage and the television stations and newspapers and whatever
you're in Charleston about people being paid to be there,
And I mean I know people that were there. I
don't think that you got rich off what you were
paid to be there because you weren't paid, right.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
No, I was not paid and no one was, you know,
and you know, people, I had to give them credit,
the small groups of people and organizations that funded this.
You know, they had to put some money together to
get the word out. And I don't know what all
(24:40):
they had to rent, but you know, it took work
of volunteers to put this rally together. And you know,
thinking about patriots patriotism, you know, my forefathers were here
on the tenth generation in West Virginia, but my forefathers
were here in Charleston when you had Fort Lee, and
(25:01):
you know, they were there at Fort Lee with Daniel Boone,
and they fought the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, you know,
the various wars. And I'm a decorated veteran from the
Vietnam era. But we're all wanting to be patriots. And
true patriotism urges us to build an even more substantial
(25:21):
America or West Virginia, where the good things of life
may be shared by more of us, where social injustice
will not be allowed to flourish as it's being done now.
And I feel that there's no King's Day was a
shot heard around the world that the people you know
of the United States support democracy of the people, by
(25:45):
the people and for the people. And I you know,
if you sum it up to me, I feel that's
why people took to the streets. They want the government
of the people, for the people, by the people.

if there were kings, this wouldn't be allowed. There are
no kings in America. To that, and we got to
close it up to that.

You would say what I would say, of course, we
have no kings. But we are fighting against wanna be kings.
That's what people are fighting against. We don't want to
wanna be king. We want to have a president who
as our leader, who rules and appreciates the constitution and

salf not I got a couple of texts here. Text
says not much of a protest when the predicimants have
to stay in the shade, says the text. Oh hot,
text says Dave Florida guy here. The Democrats have gone
(29:35):
so far off the deep end of the next two
elections will make them irrelevant. After the twenty twenty eight election,
there will be two hundred and seventy five Republican House members,
sixty five Senate members. They are the modern day Whig
Party who disappeared in the eighteen fifties. Text said why
should I help three Kingsgay pay for its insurance? Nobody
helps me, says a text texts says, I wonder if
(30:00):
we could get Texas to send their National Guard to
West Virginia to help people that's been flooded and trying
to get in their homes before winter. Texas talked to
a lot of active military and no King's Riley and
they don't like being sent to cities for political reasons.
They feel trapped in the middle. Would like to know
how far military leaders let Trump go until enough is enough.
This needs to be answered.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Texas.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Millard's own son doesn't like what's going on in our
states and the country, and that says a lot Texas.
Dave Tel Republicans. We can't buy guns with the government
shut down. This is hunting season.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Get to work or resign, says a Texter. Danny Jones
is here here you doing, my friend?
Speaker 9 (30:40):
I'm doing fun. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
All right?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
So you were listening to the interview I did with
Wes Holden and you told me to break you in
westco known each other for some time.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Good man good man, your take on what he said.
I think Trump was elected. He was, he got the
most votes. And I'm not reading, but I'm listening to
Kamala Harris's book. It's just sad. It's nothing but a
diary and she offers no solutions. Let me talk about
(31:12):
works salad.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
One of the criticisms, and I have not read it,
of the Kamala Harris book, is that uh. And several
people have said this on both sides, said that she
blames everybody but herself.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
That your takeaway with you.
Speaker 9 (31:27):
She has nothing to offer. She has nothing to offer.
It was not a good choice they had. You know,
I've got my choice of uh, and I've set them
before on this station. My choice. You know who you knew?
Really good? Of course, she'd never get married or never
get elected. He's married to a man, not Boodhagete, but
(31:48):
that governor, yes, him, and the Republican governor of Utah,
and Josh Shapiro. That's your guy, Josh, that is my guy.
And if he uh, he couldn't get nominated, not in
this party, not the same party that's putting.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Up that's uh, the socialist who's going to be the
next mayor of New York.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
So, well, it's gonna be, it's gonna be. And you know,
I was listening to Georgia Will and uh, he said,
we need this, We need to demonstrate to people what
it's going to be like with a socialist in charge.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
But I mean, I understand what did.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
I have a lot of respect for George Will, as
I know you do as well, and I understand what
he's saying. But that's kind of a big experiment to
see if it goes wrong on the largest city in America.
Speaker 9 (32:36):
Well, you'll have people that will that live there, that
will they'll they'll make the Florida move. They'll they'll keep there,
They'll keep their high end apartment on Park Avenue like
Schwartzman somebody like that. But they'll they'll plant their feet
in a state where there's I mean, in New York,
(32:58):
you pay a lot of taxes. You pay a state taxes,
and you pay a huge amount of city taxes. And
he wants to raise those taxes more in order to
have free buses and and city owned grocery stores. Will
tell yeah, yeah, and and and when you think about
(33:18):
that and more, his frame of reference, are they going
to be any Are there workers going to be any union?
What are they going strike? I mean, it's no, it's
it's it's gonna. It's gonna. They're going to pay a
big price for this.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Did you happen to I texted you last week, but uh,
did you I didn't see it? Okay, that's that's okay.
Did you happen to see that? You didn't see the
town hall?
Speaker 10 (33:44):
No?
Speaker 9 (33:44):
I wish I would.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
It was.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
I mean, I'm sure you can find it online or
something's probably available with their wist that it was really
good and talking about the one uh that Cuomo did
on News Nation, I mean, other than Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I mean, and I'm sorry. I I like Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
I actually saw him when he came to Charleston with
Dennis meth uh several years ago. O'Reilly probably should not
have been a part of that. I mean, I'll just say.
Speaker 9 (34:06):
Okay, so Cuoma was on it.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Yeah, who else was there?
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Joe Manchin, Stephen A. Smith, Holman, the borders are I
mean it was there was like ten fifteen people. There
was a couple of podcasters one that's that's kind of
Since Charlie Kirk's death, that's kind of risen up in
that turning point organizable. I don't know, I don't think so, okay,
but there were a I mean it was. But the
(34:30):
problem I think with this Danny and I talked about
this on the on the show last week is everybody had,
even the far left and far right people that were
on it, they were all saying, we've got to turn
down the temperature. We've got to turn and we know this,
but you're preaching to the proverbial choir there because the
people that needed to hear that weren't in in that.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Room, you know.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
And now if they were, they blaming on the other side.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
That's and and we did see some of that.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
I mean, that was the only really heated part of
it was between there were two young gentlemen, one with
Attorney Point Organization and the other who was his counterpart
but to the far left. And and that was really
the only heated discussion that was there. I want to
ask you get back to the no Kings thing though
for a moment. How much of I mean, you were
(35:18):
traveling this weekend, but sure you've read a lot about it,
your take on seven million people across the country about
depending on I mean West kind of took issue with
the number that I guess that some organizations used somewhere
somewhere above five hundred something like that, one thousand control.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
Well, I don't know about here because I was in Charleston.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
There were I think some published reports said five hundred.
He said closer to eight or nine hundred.
Speaker 9 (35:45):
But well, I was in Virginia. I was at vm
I with my son, and I mean, it's not a
big deal. It's it's a collective of people that are
(36:06):
trying to find community and hatred. Really, those people hate Trump.
I mean, I don't know what else, what other words,
I don't know what other word to use. And I'm
no fan, and neither of you. I mean, I didn't
(36:27):
vote for him.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
What do you think about Mike Johnson's statement that they
should have called those they should have called these hate
America rallies that they.
Speaker 9 (36:33):
Hate no because he needs to pipe down. That's something. Look,
I'm a talk show guy. I say stuff like that,
but he's a speaker of the House. It's not a Hey,
I take that back. It was not a hate hate
America rally. They don't like Donald Trump. They just don't
(36:53):
like him, and he he he strokes it, he lights
him up, be gas likes them.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Did you see the video, the AI video that he released.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
It was him as a top gun pilot and they
were playing danger Zone and it was it was AI
generated of him and the plane said King Trump on
the side, and of him dropping feces on the protesters.
Speaker 9 (37:20):
He's a draft doctor. I mean, why what president would
do that? And what do you him putting those pictures
up in the White House, And I mean, I guess
this is funny to some people. Put an auto pen
where Biden belongs. He took down General Millery's picture in
the Pentagon. He took away of security. I mean what
(37:42):
I see he makes it worse because he plays into it.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
I mean, knock out a couple of texts. Here, Texas,
there's nothing wrong. Everything's great. Prices aren't high, good paying
jobs are available left and right. I actually had to
turn down three six figure jobs on my way to
work this morning. The border's closed. Nobody does drugs anymore,
Autism has been eliminated, diseases no longer exists, so no
need for vaccines. Argentina getting forty billion dollars while Snap
is going to run out of November, America is back, baby.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
A little sarcasm. Little sarcasm there.
Speaker 9 (38:13):
Well, the border is closed, he said, the borders closed.
The borders closed. I mean, he said, what he's going
to do there? They take up for Chicago for a minute.
I go to Chicago, ocase and well, just my son
Andrew and I'll take a train, we'll go up there
and spend the night, get off and spend the day
(38:37):
walk around. And most of Chicago's really beautiful and if
you've got time to go to a Cubs game, that's
the best deal around. But there's an area there called Inglewood,
and that's where the problems are. And that's the problem.
(38:59):
That's where it gets all. If you if you could
ever get Mike Tobin on here from Fox, he could
tell you it's that's most of Chicago's sign.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
Well, and I don't think that's unlike a lot of cities.
I've got, you know, friends that live in Pittsburgh, for example,
and there are certain The problem with Pittsburgh is the
problems are downtown. You know where everybody is. But I
mean it's it's no different than any any other city.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
I mean it's not.

I'm I'm gonna take a plane trip on twelfth of December,

will you tell me how this thing breaks? It's gonna
take the only thing that would break it is if
the Republicans evoked the nuclear option. And I don't think
(41:38):
they've got the vote, in other words, to change the
rules of the Senate. Mitch McConnell won't vote for it.
Rand Paul won't even vote for the budget. So that's
two votes down.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
Yes, So an interview he was on one of the
Sunday morning shows. I think it was on this week
yesterday Rand Paul was. I think it's what I saw
him yesterday.
Speaker 9 (42:01):
Yeah, he won't even vote for the budget because of
our debt is so high.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
Well, and like he said, and I may get the
figures mixed up here the impasse between Republicans and Democrats.
One wants to raise it and I forget what feary
he used five trillion, the other wants to raise it
eight trillion. Nobody's taking it seriously.
Speaker 9 (42:20):
Well, nobody talks about it. And our kids are going
to pay for it. Yeah, one of my kids have
paid for Uh.

no King's protest after your own party refused to hold
a primary, de nominate your candidate, anointed that selected candidate
(46:10):
without your voice, heard selected candidate who did not receive
one single vote in the twenty twenty Iowa coxies, and
that to drop out gave that candidate over a billion dollars,
and she wound up twenty million dollars in the whole.
Through everything with the kitchen sink of the so called
king you hate, nothing seems to take him down. And
this is a last ditch, desperate attempt. You disgustingly and
(46:31):
evillly cheer on and encouraging murder of that king as
voters and supporters tell me again how you're representative of America,
says it's exter.
Speaker 9 (46:40):
Well, I mean, that's a little bit overdone, but it's true.
They didn't have a primary. Nancy Pelosi wanted one, you know,
to have a primary to pick a success for Biden.
They couldn't. They might have won the election, but not.
Speaker 5 (46:56):
With her text says they don't want Trump, who was
Democratic elected by the majority of us both electoral and
popular in every swing state. You people need to grow
up and deal with it. He's leftist. Temper chanters only
happen when a Republican wins the White House.
Speaker 9 (47:10):
I don't think i'd use temper tempters and Donald Trump
in the same sentence.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Yeah, I would agree with that, right. So you made
a trip this weekend.
Speaker 9 (47:20):
I went to VMI Virginia Military Institute to see my
my son, whom I get emotional thinking him. I'm so
proud of him, and he's he's a freshman there, and
they had a football game and the first game that
West Virginia University plays next year is against vm I.
(47:45):
And if they don't beat vm I, and it's time
for Rodbergers to go there.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
Not good? I mean what no, I mean, simply put.
Speaker 9 (47:58):
I mean they have a real nice tail gate thing
going on, a lot of fellowship. You know, it's right
next to WNL watching Lee and it's got a big
statue of George Catlet Marshall, Marshall Plan. But to go
down the museum and there's Stonewall Jackson stuff towards and
(48:20):
you know General all the general that's set Georgia on fire,
what was his name? Set the whole state on fire? Sherman,
he set v in my own fire and There's still
a few old buildings over there, but most of them
are new, so it was. It was quite an experience,
(48:47):
and I just I can't get over being around my son.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
He's uh, there's no good things down there. He should
be very very proud.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
I am Uh Texas Uh Kamala did not picked Shapiro
because he's Jewish. Look at how evil and anti Semitic
the Democratic Party has gone of the last five years.
What happened to never again? They are why millions like
myself walked walked away from these loons.
Speaker 9 (49:12):
I think she didn't. That couldn't That could have been
why she didn't pick him. I think he would have
vushown her. I mean, he's because he's so far superior
to me to be of any of those candidates. Josh Shapiro.
Speaker 18 (49:27):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (49:27):
Text, you ask what corporations were being held receiving the
corporate welfare as a textas said, Texture responds, Amazon, Walmart,
oil industries, corporate agriculture, just to name a few. They
all have favorable policies and subsidies and tax breaks.
Speaker 9 (49:42):
I'm not sorry, I don't. I don't get that. I
don't I'm not I'm not convinced Walmart, walmartt's tax, federal tax.
Speaker 5 (49:53):
Jay, you want to weigh in on this, what's the question?
We were talking about corporate welfare? And mixture said Walmart
and Amazon and a couple of these as examples of
corporate welfare.
Speaker 9 (50:05):
I can be educated, by the way, but I Walmart
doesn't get federal tax breaks.
Speaker 10 (50:11):
I mean, give me specific examples to the text over
here's I know what they're complaining about. Look, if you
don't have a realized income on certain projects, certain p
and ls, whatever, you're not going to pay taxes on it.
And that's what they complain about, no realized income. Well,
some years that doesn't happen.
Speaker 9 (50:26):
Well Trump Trump did that, He pointed that out. And Trump,
when you have when you take a loss in one
of your companies, shouldn't have to pay taxes and you
probably shouldn't.
Speaker 10 (50:37):
That's why Elizabeth Warren wanted to go after everybody's net
worth because they weren't posting income in a certain year.
She had a problem with Elon Musk in a certain
year not filing any because he didn't have realized income.
Speaker 3 (50:48):
Well guess what Elon Musk has done A heck of
a lot. You think NASA. I mean SpaceX balled us out.
When it comes to the space race.
Speaker 9 (50:55):
That's the well, that's the social ansor just confiscated other
people's wealth. We've got money to pay for it's just
not mine.
Speaker 5 (51:05):
What's going to ask about your son? If he intended
I'm pursuing a military career.
Speaker 9 (51:10):
At one time, he does, he did, I'm not sure
about it. Now he's in the army part there. You
you can be in the Air Force or the Marine Corps.
The commandant of that place is a lieutenant jenner on
the Marine Corps. And I met him, but I don't know.
(51:34):
Not everybody does, right, Yeah, and it would be okay
with me if he did.
Speaker 5 (51:39):
