Good morning sir, how are you hey?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Good morning, Dave, thank you for being here.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It is time for Trick or Beat. It's tomorrow night
at Go Mark Ballpark. How many years we've been doing this?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
This is our nineteenth annual. Nineteenth annual, yes, nineteen years,
going strong, and each and every year it gets bigger
and better.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
You're right about that. Now it's tomorrow night. Gomartin Ballpark.
Big shout out for the folks that's slangled off against
sponsoring the event. There are two sessions, yes, six and
seven thirty. But gee, that first session pretty much sold
out at this point.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Correct, there's no, well, not sold out.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, you know, I don't really don't know what to
call it. I mean, it's the I mean it's so
because we don't charge for tickets. The tickets are gone, yes, yeah,
for the first session exact. And and the only reason
is I always have people that ask me every year,
you know why if it's a free event, why do
you need tickets? So why don't you explain that You've
been on this since day one? So explain it.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Well, we have the tickets so we can control how
many kids come in.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
And plus we of course we give we feed them,
we give them free pieces. So we need to know exactly,
you know, how much pieces we need to have, and
we give our I don't want to call them our vendors,
our sponsors. We tell them so they know exactly how
much candy they need to buy. Because the concept is
we want to provide a safe place for you to
(03:56):
bring your child to trick or treaty, and so what
they do is they come to the ballpark and they
walk around the concourse and each one of our sponsors
are set up around the concourse in a ballpark and
they just get candy from each one of our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And last year we did like thirty five hundred kids
or something like that. Last year it was incredible, Yes, incredible.
Now we do want to remind you again the tickets
are gone for session one. There are tickets available.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
And it's very limited.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I just check and we have about about one hundred
somewhere between one hundred and one hundred and fifty for
the second session or.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Second session, which starts at seven point thirty. Yes, and
I would plan on if I were you getting those
tickets probably sometime over the next couple of hours. I
wouldn't wait till tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Well, I can guarantee you they it won't be any tomorrow.
I can guarantee you that I was on the area yesterday.
People was calling me trying to come in yesterday to
pick up tickets on a Sunday. Yeah, so no, you
got to pick them up today. And like I say,
if you wait, you're not going to be able to
get parents Todork.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, and parents don't don't need tickets. It's just for
the it's just for the kids exactly. So if you're
a let's say you're a mom and you got three kids,
then you just need three ticks. You don't need four
because you automatically get in. And I would say, and
I had something going on, I didn't get to do
it last year, but I will be there this year.
I'll be there tomorrow night. I would I would say
(05:20):
to you this be patient, because please, because there's a
little bit of a line. They don't let everybody in,
you know, at one time. There's an orderly fashion that.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
You got to go to exactly, and once you get in,
it goes pretty quick. It's just you know, like you say,
the line and getting in, once you get through the gates,
it goes pretty quick, sure, you know. And parents, you know,
if you want to, you know, just lollygag and walk,
you know, then hey, it's going to take that much time.
But if you go to each station, each one of
(05:53):
our sponsors, our community partners as we like to call them,
and get your candy and keep it moving, that that
will help the FLO.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Give me an idea of approximately how many of our
sponsors will be set up there and given out candy
just approximately ballpark.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Well, I tell you our community partners, and again we
got to say thank you to Selango Law, the Charleston
Dirty Birds, West Virginia Health Right, Charleston Blueprint, Pizza Hut.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Of course they're providing the pizza for the kids.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
C AMC Women and Children's Hospital, Appalachian Power Company, the
City of Charleston. I love the mayor she of course,
she comes every year. She dresses up so you know,
and she she gets she really gets involved. She do
she takes pictures with all of she at least all
of the kids. She tries to get pictures with all
of the kids. So I would say, Dave, probably at
(06:42):
least about about twenty five to thirty of our community.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Many sponsors, I mean the people that you mentioned. You know,
sometimes schedules get in the way, but I mean pretty
much all those people are going to be there. Charleston
Police Department, I think you mentioned them too. They're also
a big part of this, always a big part of it.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
And they have their tables set up out, you know,
out there giving out candy and information you know, to
the kids to be I think they call them junior
patrol men or something like that. So, I mean, this
is really a great community event and we bring everyone
together and like I say, provide a safe place for
your child to come at Trick or Treat.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Again, we're talking to g Money from her sister station
the beach Tricker Beat is happening tomorrow night at Go
Martin Ballpark. But Dave Island showing five vidy likee brought
to you in part by Pinnacle Consultants. Poor indoor air
quality can cause a variety of health issues. Allergies, respiratory
problems are more. Pinnacle offers specialized indoor air quality services
for residential, commercial, and industrial type settings. Vis A Pinnacle Corp.
Dot net. Because what you don't know can't hurt you.
(07:38):
Give me go back in your mind, gee and think
about a couple of really good stories that you've had
from Trick or Beat. I mean, you know, just just
a couple.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Well, Dave, I tell you, I tell you, the main
story that just pops out is how we all get
how we started this. Okay, a former leasially everyone knows
Leicially she had just had her a child, and she's
like she had to be on the air because she
was our night DJ and she had to be on
(08:07):
the air. So she went to the GM She's like,
I want to take my child trigger treating, but I
have to be on the air. Can we, you know,
come up with some something that we can do. So
Lisha and Woody sit down and came up with Tricker Beat.
And the very first year, actually the first two years, me,
Woody and Lisha, we were doing all I mean literally
(08:29):
we did all of the footwork, running around to every
piece of place in the city asking him to donate
pizza so and going around getting businesses to donate candy,
and and it just grew from that. And that right
there is the main that just sticks out in my
mind from you know, any story that we can tell
(08:50):
from Trigcker Beat, That right there is the number one thing,
you know. And like I said, it grew and we
provide a safe place for you to bring.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
It was the first was the first one of the but's.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Been at the ballpark for nineteen years.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And so those folks, you know, no matter who the
owners were, they've always stepped up to the plate for
us here.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yes, always stepped up to the plate and provided a
safe place for us to provide the children to come
in church.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And there is one hundred percent safe and again you
know well lit and uh and plus you know they've
been over there working on the selangol all light the night.
You get a little bit a little preview of what
it looked like.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Yes, and I know last year they actually did turn
off all of the lights so and lit the lights
up so people can get a little sneak peek.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Of what was to come.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, it's going to be a great night. But again,
one thing we wanted to tell you is if you're
gonna bring your kids, your grandkids, whatever, you need to
get those tickets today. They're available at our studios eleven
eleven Virginia Street. D's here in Charleston. You know, normally
we say between the hours of eight and five. However,
I don't know what they're going to be left after
five o'clock today, So why don't you just go ahead
(09:54):
and plan on coming in maybe just as soon as
you can get here. We've already had people I was
talking to Tracy outfront. We've already had We've had you
said you had people calling you while you were on
the air on the beat yesterday. We had people showing up,
like you know, at seven thirty this morning. Poor Tracy
wasn't even here yet. We had to tell him to
come back.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, and keep in mind again, we only have about
one hundred and fifty left. And you can't come in
here and say, oh, I need fifteen tickets. Yeah, you know,
get whatever you need, but the max is six per family.
So if you only need three, you got three kids,
just get the three tickets.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
The two sessions again, the first session is gone that
sorts at six and the second session is at seven
point thirty. Been kind of keeping an eye on the
weather a little bit because there's a chance of some
rain and they've kind of gone back and forth, but
there might be a little light rain.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
But like you and I were.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Talking off the air man, it's Halloween. You're supposed to
be a little bit dark and spooky, right.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
A little sprinkle is not going to hurt you.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
There's no severe weather or anything like that. And the
kid you'll put your kids in the costumes, bring them out.
As you said, most of the people that are our
community partners are going to be in costume. It's always
a big deal to see what the Mayor's gonna wears
always always and what he would will be there running
around to what he couldn't be with us this morning
he had a doctor's pointment. He's out there. He'll be
(11:10):
out there with us as well. And again, it's not
just about the candy though, we got all kinds of
other things going on there. Information. It's just a good
time in a safe environment for the kids exactly.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
And like you say, you know we've been telling you
for the last two three weeks, get your child's costumes
ready because this is each and every year is going
to be big and you never know what we may
do tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (11:31):

Speaker 3 (15:05):
All right, But let me ask you a non serious question.
What's the one thing about dell get Kaylee Young that
most people don't know? What we'll be surprised to learn.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
I didn't sleep at all last night. I was painting
my new dining room at my new house. I just

Speaker 3 (15:19):
All right, So so you haven't slept it all. So
if you hear a sudden thud, it's your head hitting

Speaker 11 (15:24):
I'm very awake. I'm happy to be here this Monday morning.
It's a little chilly for me.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
It is a little chili, but it's fall. That's what
it's supposed to goank it. Kids all excited about trigger
treating third Thursday night in Kanawha County.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
Yes they are, They're mad it's not on Friday. But
I understand why it's.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Right right, It's it's I was talking to g Money
off the air and Mayor Goodwin told me one time,
and this is true of any town that no matter
what goes on in a town, whether it's potholes, whether
it's snow removal, whether it's crime, whatever, the things that
get people to most upset are trick or treat night
and Christmas parades. That's what gets I.
Speaker 11 (16:00):
Mean, I've seen that happen. Yeah, and I'm excited about
tricker beat. That's always gonna be the more fun. I've
got to go to the next kitchen table Tours I've
I've been as a participant and as a candy giver
outer and it's a lot of fun. Tricker beats great.
So people should pick up tickets.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You get them. The first session's gone, so you need
if you it's the seven thirty session, and again they're
gonna be gone by the end of the day. All right,
let's talk about these kitchen table tours. You've been all
over the state. You've been at a lot of them.
I know last week there was one down in Mingo
County in Gilbert pretty well. Atten had Pushkin on the
show on Metro News Midday. He talked about that. What's
your takeaway from these kitchen table events.
Speaker 11 (16:38):
They've been great. It's just been great to hear from folks.
We've had I believe eight so far. People want us
to come to more places in the state. It's just
been great to listen. We've heard a lot of the
same things, a couple different things. Most of the talks,
lots of people talk to us about what's going on
at the federal government with Medicaid shut with Medicaid changes
coming up. Lots of people are worried about losing their
(16:59):
home care. A lot of people talk about education, public education,
school consolidation, a little bit about data centers, kind of
all over the place.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Do you think that those delegate young in an elected office,
whether it's legislators, whether it's mayors, senators, whatever, should meet
with the public more.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Yes, absolutely, I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Because there's you know, there's some pushbacks on certain certain one.
I canna mentioned any names, but there are certain ones
that people said, well, when was the last time he
or she met with the community. Like, I'll give you
folks credit. You guys are going into the communities and
you're meeting with these people. And from what Pushkin has
told me about some of these it's not just Democrats
that are showing up, not at all.
Speaker 11 (17:41):
No, it's people all over. It's for everybody. It's not
just for democrats.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
It's the kitchen table a bit.
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Yeah, we just want to talk about issues and mostly listen,
I've learned about a lot of different issues that I
didn't know about. You know, we have to know a
lot about everything, so it's really hard to do. And
so I've learned a lot about issues that I didn't
know anything about.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
How different have they been because I very well, here's
what I learned, you know, Amanda Bearr and my co
host on Metro News middate. She did the one in Huntington.
She was sort of serving as the as the moderator.
I guess the one Huntington, and she did the one
at Charleston, and you know, they're not that far apart,
but they were very different there.
Speaker 11 (18:18):
Every single one has its own personality. They've all been
very different, and I imagine flat Woods will be different
this week. I imagine Beckley will be different next week.
They're all they've all got their own flavor, just like
our you know, every community does.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
So when and where is the one in flat Woods.
Speaker 11 (18:36):
Smart Night in flat Woods? I don't know where it is.
I need to figure it out. But you can follow
us on West Virginia House Democrats Facebook page. And it's
not just the House. Senator Garcia has been with us
as well, but yeah, you can follow us on Facebook
and the event information will be on there.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I want to talk about some national stuff for a moment,
Delegate and you, and we're talking with Delegate Kaylee Young.
If there isn't a resolution reached, Snap benefits going to
go away starting on November first, which is this Saturday.
And you obviously have concerns about that.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
I have a lot of concerns about that. You know,
I've fought for children forever and ever. I food security
is something that's really important to me. Over two hundred
and seventy thousand West Virginians receive staff benefits. Of that
two hundred and seventy thousand, over one hundred thousand of
those are children. And so I'm very concerned about snap
benefits ending this weekend.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
And they're scheduled, you know, as you said, to end
on November.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
The first, Yes, they are. That's very soon. The holiday
seasons are approaching. I think I believe that today might
be the cutoff for if it doesn't happen today, they're
going to get pushback regardless. So I'm worried for people.
People need to eat well.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
And speaking of which, I read something the other day
that maybe with the trigg or treat happening you know,
Thursday or Friday night, depending on where you live, it's
Friday night to where I live in Putnam County, that
people may want to consider handing out more practical things
for trick or treaty, maybe not so much snickers and
suckers and more more practical because I don't know how
(20:08):
the kids are going to feel, Like, yeah, I have.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Like mixed feelings about that, right mostly because like our children,
What are children going to think about that when they
just have like a whole bunch of rom noodles and
mac and cheese in their tree sooxes? And then how
do the parents explain that to the children. And it's
also like, depending on what neighborhood you're in, are those
the people that need it? I think there's better, more
tangible ways to help, way better ways to help. But
(20:33):
I mean, I don't think it's a bad idea by
any means. I also really want to point out the
governor expedited one point one million dollars that was allocated
in this this year's budget to our food banks. So
they were already going to get it, it's just he
expedited it to get it there faster. So I want
to commend him for doing that and also ask him
to do some more. Call the legislature and.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I was going to say, what would you like to
see him do?
Speaker 11 (20:56):
So there's a lot of options he could do. He
could use this contingency fund. It's forty seven million dollars
that it costs to pay for snap in West Virginia
for one month, forty seven million dollars. He's probably got
that in his contingency fund. If not, call the legislature
in and let us appropriate some money to do it
or uh. One state has called in the National Guard
to help at food banks. There's options here, but we
(21:19):
cannot let West Virginians go hungry.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
And again, this is a very very very real thing.
And here's what I talked about last week. When it
comes to the shutdown and things of that nature, most
people see Washington has just been so far removed from
their daily lives. I do they, well, normal people do.
I mean, because you hear about the budgets and you
hear about it and it's not really anything you can
wrap your head around, so to speak. But this is real.
(21:45):
I mean, this is this is this. And you mentioned
the Medicaid cuts as well, and that's something else that's
got a lot of people can start and talking about that.
But about the Medican get I.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
Mean, the Medicaid cuts are they're coming. And you know
that's a big fight that's going on with this shutdown
right now. I don't I want to get into what
each side's fighting for. And fighting against I couldn't care
less about that. What I care about are people having
healthcare and people having food and being able to get
through the day, right. I mean, I know in our
legislature we've had a lot of people this year who
(22:14):
have said make America healthy again. That's a big movement
that's going on right now. I don't know how we
can claim that we're making people healthy while that we're
taking away the food from children and elderly people, people
that are working and their dependence. I just this is
a very real, very pressing issue, and if we don't
get some sort of solution by this weekend, we're going
(22:34):
to have a lot of hungry West Virginians and also
less important but still important nine billion dollars missing from
our economy that goes into grocery stores. That's very real too.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You know, we had a minister on the show on
Friday who operates a food bank actually in Putnam County,
and then later today on Metro News Midday, we're going
to talk to the folks a Mountaineer food bank as well.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I think there's also a misconception about people that are
using these food banks and medicaid and so on and
so forth. I mean, the overwhelming majority of people that
are on Medicaid are working.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Hey, they are.
Speaker 11 (23:09):
And please remember that those work requirements that were passed
in the Big Bill earlier this year, they also kick
in this Saturday, so it's getting stricter this weekend as well,
and it might not be there at all. So, yes,
most people that receive benefits are working, or they have
very young children, or they have a disability. Those are
(23:29):
the people we are in charge of taking care of.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Are you hopeful? I mean, obviously we want everybody wants
to shut down to come to it. Are you hopeful?
Do you see any like that it may come to
an ambiacary.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
From the federal government. Absolutely not, which is why I'm
calling on the governor to step up for West Virginia
and do more for West Virginians. I'm very thankful for
what he did do, but we have to do more.
I heard him say, you know, West Virginians really need
to step up, and they really need to donate to
all of our food banks. And yes, we absolutely all
need to be doing everything we can to donate to
our food banks and food pantries. I'm glad they're coming
(24:00):
on they're wonderful, but they can't fill those gaps. They
can't one point one million dollars. That's four dollars for
every person on on snap right. That's that's not enough.
That's not going to feed people for even a single day.
That is not enough. And also, I don't know about you,
but every time I go to the grocery store, I
walk out and I'm like, whooh, that was a lot
more expensive than I thought it was going to be.
(24:21):
So whatever your income level is, everybody's pension pennies right now,
and we're getting into the holiday season where everything's more expensive.
So yes, we want West Virginia's to step up and
do more, but I understand not everybody can do that
right now. So we need the government to step in
cover the food benefits for these people for at least
the next month because we can't count on the federal
(24:41):
government to get it done.

That's it. People are hungry. This is a dire situation.
I don't like to be hyperbolic at all. This is
a dire situation. Get to work, and also call our
governor and tell him that the state needs to step
up in the meantime like all the others, not all
the other states, but a lot of other states are
(25:27):
stepping up. They're not just blue states. Red states are
stepping up. Louisiana just put one hundred and fifty million
dollars towards this. We need forty seven million dollars to
get it done. And the governor can do that on
his own, and if he can't do that, he can
send us in to do it. We have to do this.
There is no This is not politics, This is not

have food.

of other activities going on. Tony Hodge is going to
(29:14):
join us to talk about that. TJ. Meadows is here,
Jeff Jenkins with the news and more, Metro News Midday
with thirteen News and Tonight Live anchor Manda Baron and
Me Noon to three Today powered by Selango Law. Let
me knock out a couple of texts here. Text says Dave,
Why is WCCHS promoting Tony Hodge's Charlie Kirk and doctrination
class on the morning news? Is that important? Is the
(29:35):
news that's slow? Is your station in mid range? Propaganda
outlet for theocratic fascism? Know and know it seems so
to those questions, That's exactly what we are. As a
matter of fact, I have business cards made. This says
propaganda outlet for Fascism. I have business cards.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
That say when's Tony going to be on?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
He will be on twelve forty five today today.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Yeah, well I want to hear that, all right. Yeah
he's a friend.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That's Danny Jones.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
I like to Oh, I'm sorry, dude, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I mean people know you. I want to so you
can jump in here. Other than not. Got a couple
of texts though, okay right. Another text says nine billion
dollars will be missing from grocery stores if Snap isn't available.
It seems like a lot of grocery company's bottom lines
will be affected. It says a texture, uh, handout blooney
sandwiches for everyone. Have you seen the price of boloney?
(30:28):
You can buy steak for what you can buy a
blooney for right now. I don't think that they were
talking about Halloween. I don't think that's necessarily a good idea.
Text says that Dave, I see where local businessman's stepping
up to feed our children while the government shutdown is
going on. People need to shop these grocery stores and
support his local businesses agreed. Texas just wanted to know
if the governor legislator have any plans to use the
(30:49):
people's billion dollar Randy Day Fund to help people during
the government shutdown, people will lose their snap benefits. November
the first, Well, the governor has allocated some money, but
you just heard to deadly get Kaylee Young saying he
should alligate allocate more. Now, Daddy Jones, how ain't doing buddy.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
I'm doing fine. How is this? How is this the
Republican's fault? I mean, the Republicans are voting to open
the government, right, and the Democrats are voting to shut
it down pretty much. Yeah, and if he opened it
back up, you get snapped. If he keeps clothes, you
(31:28):
don't get snapped. All right. I just wanted to get it.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Just make sure we got that straight. So let me
let me ask you about the book. We couple of
weeks away now.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
From the book November seventeenth, Okay, yeah, it'll it'll be
out and then on the twenty second of November, I'll
have a book signing two o'clock in the afternoon on
Taylor Books. Uh huh. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
And it just blows my mind, mister Jones, that you
are that you are fearful that people aren't going to
buy this book? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Me.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
I was reading through it this morning. I was actually,
I don't do that very often. I was reading through it,
and I had criticism we spent too much time on
the needles. Towards the end of the book. Who criticized it, Well,
you know, Counselman Lane was the big backer of the needles.
(32:25):
But jb Akers went over there and investigated and proved
it was just a big fraud. There was no to
find out if somebody is going to if you're doing
anything preventive, you got to test them when they get there.
(32:47):
That was absent nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I mean, that was one of the biggest things that
I remember about your administration was that argument over the
needle distribution in Charleston. So, I mean, I don't know
how you could well.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
It almost ruined the city. And down at Health Right.
Your treated is a patient and Health Right has a
way of squeezing the money, you know, whether it's Medicaid
or whatever it is. And a third of their patients
(33:18):
that participate in their needle exchange go into recovery. Nobody there.
There wasn't a record of any one person going into
recovery there, nor was there any record of anybody getting
(33:39):
You don't know if that you prevented AID or HIV
or anything, because there was no there was no task
given before or after. In other words, all they did
was give away needles. But the council majority of council,
they loved it.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
So it's definitely looking forward to that now. Last week
on the show, I had there's another gentleman who is
writing a book bill, Pacozy, very well known promoter, and
I joked, I said, well, we got two iconic Charleston
figures that have books out at the same time. Bill's
was already out, I think because he was at the
book festival of this this weekend. So well, there's a
(34:22):
I mean, I think it's two interesting reads by two
by to Charleston icons.
Speaker 7 (34:28):
Yeah, I was listeninging. He doesn't care for me, you
said that. I think that I don't really know him.
He was upset that I became mayor. Hiss the worst
didn't come in and he used to have the barbecue
thing down here, ripped on the boulevard, and then it
(34:51):
does and then he he didn't have a quit having
it and he left because I was the mayor. That's
what he said news. I read the newspaper. So he
moved from town to town, and then he came back
and I got a call from the liquor commission. They
said he wants a beer license and the city has
(35:15):
to give permission. I said, fine, give him a beer license.
I don't know him. I mean, when you, when you
are elected official, when you occupy public space, people don't
like you.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Some people, especially when you're the mayor of the largest
city in West Virginia, the capital city, and no matter.
Speaker 7 (35:40):
Who the mayor is, and they don't they don't like it.
And I don't.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Really care, especially now, you don't care. No, you didn't
care then.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
No, I didn't. I didn't even know he was still around.
But like I say, I don't know him. I knew
his sister, Connie. She was a dance teacher.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Okay, all right, tex says I'm an independent voter and
I want to hear from my constituents. I think the
Republicans have been a huge disappointment to our state. No job,
still losing population, things getting worse. I think it depends
on I'll let you weigh in on that, but I
think it depends on where you live as to whether
there are no jobs and whether there's people moving in
(36:20):
because in the Eastern Panhandle it's exploding. Morgantown area's exploding.
Or I live in Taye Valley, it's about ready to
burst wide open again.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
Yeah, but it's not here.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
No, it's not everywhere.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
I'll tell you. I'll tell you, I'll tell you South Charleston.
You know, they seem to be doing pretty well, but
the population of the state's going down. McDowell County when
I was born, had one hundred thousand people. One hundred thousand.
(36:51):
Now they're around nine.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
If even that, and it's going down. It's going down.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
I mean, I mean they couldn't even handle at Walmart.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Yeah, the Walmart closed. I mean when that same me
heard of a Walmart club. But a lot of that
was because of employee theft. That was one of the
reasons why. But I've said this about Mingo County. Uh
back back when I was in school and growing up,
Williamson was one of our big rivals, being a Logan Wildcat.
Williamson High School in Mingo County went from Triple A
(37:18):
to Triple A to double A to single A to
gone in ten years. They can they consolidated all these
little high schools in Mingo County that they weren't always
little places like Lenore's Mingo Central, Mingo Central. And there's
only uh, there's only two high schools in the entire
county now, where at one time there was six seven
(37:39):
now there's two. Where where was war war was in
McDowell County. Okay, Yeah, but I mean all those little
towns had their high schools and so on and so forth,
and they just they just don't now. I mean it's sad.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Last week we talked about the No King's rally yep,
And I've been thinking about this and thinking about and
I think it was a little bit of a cop
out for me to have said it just I hate
Trump rally. I think the bigger picture here is, and
(38:16):
it goes with the MAGA crowd too, is that people
are seeking community. They're seeking community. Expound upon that, well,
they're seeking something to belong to and that gives them.
I mean, the people that were in that, in that
involved in that were all in a good mood. They
(38:39):
were all having fun. And unless I'm wrong.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
And zero issues too, I mean, yeah, we're especially not
here in Charleston, I mean, or anywhere in West Virginia.
There were no issues there was no I mean, let's
face it, Danny wasn't January sixth, right.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
I don't understand, and you know, it's no skin off
my nose. Why President Trump is obsessed with going to
these big cities, I just don't. That's their problem. It's
their problem. It's not a federal problem.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Now.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
If he's going to guard federal courthouses or federal property,
that's totally different. And that's what happened in Portland, not
this time, but before he left office last time. They
were burning federal property. But if you want to if
(39:40):
you want to know about January sixth, read list Tenny's book.
I mean, now, I listened to it, and it is juicy.
It tells you what happened, blow by blow by blow.
I mean, this moved this way. And Mark Wayne Mullins,
who's now senator, you know the guy was he said,
(40:02):
you all go through that door right there, and Liz,
Liz changing those women looked at him and said, got it.
You know it was And she got into it with
Tom Delay on the floor and says, U f and
caused this. And you know everybody's sewed around F bombs.
And you know, Nancy Mace, you know, she's running for
(40:25):
governor down there in South Carolina, and she's was the
first female to graduate from the Citadel. And she was
on Bill maher a week or so ago and she
(40:47):
she uh dropped an F bomb.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
What's cable television? You can do that on cable telling.
Speaker 7 (40:53):
I'm not I'm not quarrel with that. But she's running
for governor. Were the most religious state in the counting point.
That's a very good point. I mean, if I was
her opponent, I said, what I mean doesn't offend me.
I've tried to get away from using that kind of language.
I am, I really am. I really working hard to
(41:16):
try to do that.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
But me too, but it didn't always work. Let me
knock out. Let me knock out a couple of sects here.
When's the last time Riley Moore has been in DC
to work. It's been over a month. This has to stop. Now.
You wanna take a little Danny Jones' criticism here. Sure,
Danny allowed needles and it backfired on him, and he
started the blame game. You were mayor, it's on you,
(41:37):
and don't blame others. Just like them all.
Speaker 7 (41:44):
Okay, there's there's a little bit of truth there. I
voted for it. I thought they were going to do
one hundred a week. They were doing twelve thousand every Wednesday,
and when we tried to stop it, the majority of
council went against us. But then we did an undercover
(42:11):
sting operation on them to prove they weren't following the procedures.
So Steve Cooper shut it down or told them they
had to shut it down, and they shut it down
on their own.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Texays touted all these town halls, by the way, gops
held a lot more over time. So how about you
and all other state Democrat contact Schumer and Jeffrey's office
to demand they joined Fetterman and Warno to pass the
CR And what do any of you say in response
to all those videos posted by people saying they will
steal cartloads of food if they don't get their food stamps.
(42:46):
Not one word of condemnation from Democrats. I think that
was probably aimed it to a delegate Kayale Young, texays,
it's not the Republicans. This is all on the Democrats,
and you know it.
Speaker 7 (42:58):
I think right now it is because the Democrats could
It would seem to me like the leadership should say okay,
that's what we'll do. You pass a c R and
well and are in some good faith negotiations about medicaid?
Is that what the problem is? You know?
Speaker 3 (43:16):
Well? And it all goes back to you know a
lot of the I mean, and I'm not trying to
sound like TJ. Meadows here, and then we got to
do the break one way or the other, Danny, this
country is broke. It is broke, and it's getting broker,
you know, for lack of a better term. And the
only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats right now
is the amount that the Republicans want to add less
(43:38):
a few less trillion dollars than what Democrats do. That's
the only difference. Both sides don't seem to get it.
Speaker 7 (43:45):
Do you know who you sound like? Is that Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
I'm a fan of Steven except he hates the Dallas
Cowboys and so other than that, he's okay, Well, we
got to take a break, my Steeler. He could well.
Dallas is the number one rated offense in the league
and the worst rated defense, So you don't win games
when you play that way. But Dave Allen Show and

Texas Hello and good morning. Will the book be available
on audible?
Speaker 7 (47:18):
You know, I thought about that because I do audible.
I buy all my books on audible. But I'd have
to have so many different voices on there. Couldn't It
could be me, and it could be Charlie. And I'm
sure I could get JB. He's in it. I don't
know if I could get Otis has got a big
(47:39):
chapter in there. Otis Lowry. There's a guy that I
grew up with that if it hadn't been for him,
he's still around her. He retired from DuPont. His name
Richard Butler, and if it hadn't been for him, I'd
(48:01):
be changing bedpans in the hospital somewhere.
Speaker 6 (48:05):
What did he do?
Speaker 7 (48:07):
We were at the Hub, there's a poor whom I
hung out at, and a guy came in there and
offered a job to work the Roaring Twenties, which was
the best nightclub in the city. And he said ten
dollars a night to wash glasses. Richard took it. None
(48:29):
of us said any money. We didn't have jobs. And
then George Jarrett, who I named my son afternoon he
went up. Richard then became a bartender, and then George
went up and started watching glasses. Well, I couldn't I
looked fourteen years old. I couldn't get a job. So
I went back to the Sterling and stayed there until
(48:50):
I went until I got out of high school. And
also later on I started working on cars, and when
I was drafted, I was, you know, working on cars.
I built a race car.
Speaker 9 (49:03):
And but.
Speaker 7 (49:07):
I didn't Richard. You know, I followed Richard. Whatever he did,
I did. I mean, he was the leader of George
and me and he we have those moments, that titular
moments in our lives, and that was one for me,
(49:30):
and it was at the Hub Poor Room, and I
don't know what I'd be doing if I hadn't been
for that. That's when I became indelibly part of the
streets of the city. I mean that's when I would
we get off work. I'd get off work at six
o'clock in the morning. I didn't have a car, so
I walked home. Richard and George would walk across the
(49:53):
bridge and thumb out Ferry Branch Road on the ramp,
and I thumb up Louden Heights. And there's a chapter
in there about him, but he's not gonna he's not
gonna participate in and I think in an audible audible thing.
(50:15):
I mean I thought about it. It's fun.
Speaker 3 (50:16):
Could you get other people to play if you didn't,
I mean get other people that I mean, don't use
any of the real people, just you know the part
of odes.
Speaker 7 (50:26):
I'd use it as men as I could, Okay, I
mean I have no use for Tom Lane, but I
put it. I'd put him on there, and put JB
on there. If in Rod Blackstone and Mary Jean Davis
if you wanted.
Speaker 4 (50:41):
It to be.
Speaker 7 (50:41):
I'm not sure she has a chapter in there or not.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
Tex says regarding the shutdown of DC, the Dems are
more than willing to talk to this impast Trump only
talks to certain Republicans and the House has not been
in session for over eighty days, talking to no one.
Congress is now as worthless as the White House.
Speaker 7 (50:57):
They shouldn't be getting paid. Can we all agree on that?
Speaker 3 (51:02):
I agree?
Speaker 7 (51:02):
Can we all agree that they shouldn't be getting paid.
If people can't get snap benefits, they shouldn't be getting paid.
And I buy all my stuff from Pigley Wiggily. They
still advertise their will Bigley piggly wiggily hotline.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (51:16):
Yeah, and this will this will affect them dramatically.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
Texas Day, Well, I agree both parties spend too much.
Difference is the way they wish to accomplishment, one via
tax cuts favoring the wealthy, one with giving away money
to middle to the port. Neither will succeed. Texays, Danny's
a good guy. I appreciate his perspective and he always
puts Charleston first. I think you always put Charleston first.
Speaker 7 (51:40):
This dining room, whatever, the ballroom they're building at the
White House. When this thing is finished, nobody is gonna
want to say they were against it. Yeah, I agree
with that.
Speaker 3 (51:52):
Sarah Isger, who I like a love. Sarah on This
Week yesterday said, and I'm very much paraphrasing, if Obama
did this, the Republicans would be losing their mind. But
since it's Trump, the Democrats are losing their minds. And
that's where we are right now. Close it out with that.

Good morning sir, how are you hey?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Good morning, Dave, thank you for being here.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It is time for Trick or Beat. It's tomorrow night
at Go Mark Ballpark. How many years we've been doing this?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
This is our nineteenth annual. Nineteenth annual, yes, nineteen years,
going strong, and each and every year it gets bigger
and better.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
You're right about that. Now it's tomorrow night. Gomartin Ballpark.
Big shout out for the folks that's slangled off against
sponsoring the event. There are two sessions, yes, six and
seven thirty. But gee, that first session pretty much sold
out at this point.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Correct, there's no, well, not sold out.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, you know, I don't really don't know what to
call it. I mean, it's the I mean it's so
because we don't charge for tickets. The tickets are gone, yes, yeah,
for the first session exact. And and the only reason
is I always have people that ask me every year,
you know why if it's a free event, why do
you need tickets? So why don't you explain that You've
been on this since day one? So explain it.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Well, we have the tickets so we can control how
many kids come in.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
And plus we of course we give we feed them,
we give them free pieces. So we need to know exactly,
you know, how much pieces we need to have, and
we give our I don't want to call them our vendors,
our sponsors. We tell them so they know exactly how
much candy they need to buy. Because the concept is
we want to provide a safe place for you to
(03:56):
bring your child to trick or treaty, and so what
they do is they come to the ballpark and they
walk around the concourse and each one of our sponsors
are set up around the concourse in a ballpark and
they just get candy from each one of our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And last year we did like thirty five hundred kids
or something like that. Last year it was incredible, Yes, incredible.
Now we do want to remind you again the tickets
are gone for session one. There are tickets available.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
And it's very limited.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I just check and we have about about one hundred
somewhere between one hundred and one hundred and fifty for
the second session or.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Second session, which starts at seven point thirty. Yes, and
I would plan on if I were you getting those
tickets probably sometime over the next couple of hours. I
wouldn't wait till tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Well, I can guarantee you they it won't be any tomorrow.
I can guarantee you that I was on the area yesterday.
People was calling me trying to come in yesterday to
pick up tickets on a Sunday. Yeah, so no, you
got to pick them up today. And like I say,
if you wait, you're not going to be able to
get parents Todork.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, and parents don't don't need tickets. It's just for
the it's just for the kids exactly. So if you're
a let's say you're a mom and you got three kids,
then you just need three ticks. You don't need four
because you automatically get in. And I would say, and
I had something going on, I didn't get to do
it last year, but I will be there this year.
I'll be there tomorrow night. I would I would say
(05:20):
to you this be patient, because please, because there's a
little bit of a line. They don't let everybody in,
you know, at one time. There's an orderly fashion that.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
You got to go to exactly, and once you get in,
it goes pretty quick. It's just you know, like you say,
the line and getting in, once you get through the gates,
it goes pretty quick, sure, you know. And parents, you know,
if you want to, you know, just lollygag and walk,
you know, then hey, it's going to take that much time.
But if you go to each station, each one of
(05:53):
our sponsors, our community partners as we like to call them,
and get your candy and keep it moving, that that
will help the FLO.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Give me an idea of approximately how many of our
sponsors will be set up there and given out candy
just approximately ballpark.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Well, I tell you our community partners, and again we
got to say thank you to Selango Law, the Charleston
Dirty Birds, West Virginia Health Right, Charleston Blueprint, Pizza Hut.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Of course they're providing the pizza for the kids.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
C AMC Women and Children's Hospital, Appalachian Power Company, the
City of Charleston. I love the mayor she of course,
she comes every year. She dresses up so you know,
and she she gets she really gets involved. She do
she takes pictures with all of she at least all
of the kids. She tries to get pictures with all
of the kids. So I would say, Dave, probably at
(06:42):
least about about twenty five to thirty of our community.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Many sponsors, I mean the people that you mentioned. You know,
sometimes schedules get in the way, but I mean pretty
much all those people are going to be there. Charleston
Police Department, I think you mentioned them too. They're also
a big part of this, always a big part of it.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
And they have their tables set up out, you know,
out there giving out candy and information you know, to
the kids to be I think they call them junior
patrol men or something like that. So, I mean, this
is really a great community event and we bring everyone
together and like I say, provide a safe place for
your child to come at Trick or Treat.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Again, we're talking to g Money from her sister station
the beach Tricker Beat is happening tomorrow night at Go
Martin Ballpark. But Dave Island showing five vidy likee brought
to you in part by Pinnacle Consultants. Poor indoor air
quality can cause a variety of health issues. Allergies, respiratory
problems are more. Pinnacle offers specialized indoor air quality services
for residential, commercial, and industrial type settings. Vis A Pinnacle Corp.
Dot net. Because what you don't know can't hurt you.
(07:38):
Give me go back in your mind, gee and think
about a couple of really good stories that you've had
from Trick or Beat. I mean, you know, just just
a couple.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Well, Dave, I tell you, I tell you, the main
story that just pops out is how we all get
how we started this. Okay, a former leasially everyone knows
Leicially she had just had her a child, and she's
like she had to be on the air because she
was our night DJ and she had to be on
(08:07):
the air. So she went to the GM She's like,
I want to take my child trigger treating, but I
have to be on the air. Can we, you know,
come up with some something that we can do. So
Lisha and Woody sit down and came up with Tricker Beat.
And the very first year, actually the first two years, me,
Woody and Lisha, we were doing all I mean literally
(08:29):
we did all of the footwork, running around to every
piece of place in the city asking him to donate
pizza so and going around getting businesses to donate candy,
and and it just grew from that. And that right
there is the main that just sticks out in my
mind from you know, any story that we can tell
(08:50):
from Trigcker Beat, That right there is the number one thing,
you know. And like I said, it grew and we
provide a safe place for you to bring.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
It was the first was the first one of the but's.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Been at the ballpark for nineteen years.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And so those folks, you know, no matter who the
owners were, they've always stepped up to the plate for
us here.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yes, always stepped up to the plate and provided a
safe place for us to provide the children to come
in church.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And there is one hundred percent safe and again you
know well lit and uh and plus you know they've
been over there working on the selangol all light the night.
You get a little bit a little preview of what
it looked like.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Yes, and I know last year they actually did turn
off all of the lights so and lit the lights
up so people can get a little sneak peek.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Of what was to come.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, it's going to be a great night. But again,
one thing we wanted to tell you is if you're
gonna bring your kids, your grandkids, whatever, you need to
get those tickets today. They're available at our studios eleven
eleven Virginia Street. D's here in Charleston. You know, normally
we say between the hours of eight and five. However,
I don't know what they're going to be left after
five o'clock today, So why don't you just go ahead
(09:54):
and plan on coming in maybe just as soon as
you can get here. We've already had people I was
talking to Tracy outfront. We've already had We've had you
said you had people calling you while you were on
the air on the beat yesterday. We had people showing up,
like you know, at seven thirty this morning. Poor Tracy
wasn't even here yet. We had to tell him to
come back.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, and keep in mind again, we only have about
one hundred and fifty left. And you can't come in
here and say, oh, I need fifteen tickets. Yeah, you know,
get whatever you need, but the max is six per family.
So if you only need three, you got three kids,
just get the three tickets.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
The two sessions again, the first session is gone that
sorts at six and the second session is at seven
point thirty. Been kind of keeping an eye on the
weather a little bit because there's a chance of some
rain and they've kind of gone back and forth, but
there might be a little light rain.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
But like you and I were.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Talking off the air man, it's Halloween. You're supposed to
be a little bit dark and spooky, right.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
A little sprinkle is not going to hurt you.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
There's no severe weather or anything like that. And the
kid you'll put your kids in the costumes, bring them out.
As you said, most of the people that are our
community partners are going to be in costume. It's always
a big deal to see what the Mayor's gonna wears
always always and what he would will be there running
around to what he couldn't be with us this morning
he had a doctor's pointment. He's out there. He'll be
(11:10):
out there with us as well. And again, it's not
just about the candy though, we got all kinds of
other things going on there. Information. It's just a good
time in a safe environment for the kids exactly.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
And like you say, you know we've been telling you
for the last two three weeks, get your child's costumes
ready because this is each and every year is going
to be big and you never know what we may
do tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
It's one of the biggest events that we put on

Speaker 3 (15:05):
All right, But let me ask you a non serious question.
What's the one thing about dell get Kaylee Young that
most people don't know? What we'll be surprised to learn.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
I didn't sleep at all last night. I was painting
my new dining room at my new house. I just
moved last week.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
All right, So so you haven't slept it all. So
if you hear a sudden thud, it's your head hitting
the microphone.
Speaker 11 (15:24):
I'm very awake. I'm happy to be here this Monday morning.
It's a little chilly for me.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
It is a little chili, but it's fall. That's what
it's supposed to goank it. Kids all excited about trigger
treating third Thursday night in Kanawha County.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
Yes they are, They're mad it's not on Friday. But
I understand why it's.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Right right, It's it's I was talking to g Money
off the air and Mayor Goodwin told me one time,
and this is true of any town that no matter
what goes on in a town, whether it's potholes, whether
it's snow removal, whether it's crime, whatever, the things that
get people to most upset are trick or treat night
and Christmas parades. That's what gets I.
Speaker 11 (16:00):
Mean, I've seen that happen. Yeah, and I'm excited about
tricker beat. That's always gonna be the more fun. I've
got to go to the next kitchen table Tours I've
I've been as a participant and as a candy giver
outer and it's a lot of fun. Tricker beats great.
So people should pick up tickets.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You get them. The first session's gone, so you need
if you it's the seven thirty session, and again they're
gonna be gone by the end of the day. All right,
let's talk about these kitchen table tours. You've been all
over the state. You've been at a lot of them.
I know last week there was one down in Mingo
County in Gilbert pretty well. Atten had Pushkin on the
show on Metro News Midday. He talked about that. What's
your takeaway from these kitchen table events.
Speaker 11 (16:38):
They've been great. It's just been great to hear from folks.
We've had I believe eight so far. People want us
to come to more places in the state. It's just
been great to listen. We've heard a lot of the
same things, a couple different things. Most of the talks,
lots of people talk to us about what's going on
at the federal government with Medicaid shut with Medicaid changes
coming up. Lots of people are worried about losing their
(16:59):
home care. A lot of people talk about education, public education,
school consolidation, a little bit about data centers, kind of
all over the place.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Do you think that those delegate young in an elected office,
whether it's legislators, whether it's mayors, senators, whatever, should meet
with the public more.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Yes, absolutely, I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Because there's you know, there's some pushbacks on certain certain one.
I canna mentioned any names, but there are certain ones
that people said, well, when was the last time he
or she met with the community. Like, I'll give you
folks credit. You guys are going into the communities and
you're meeting with these people. And from what Pushkin has
told me about some of these it's not just Democrats
that are showing up, not at all.
Speaker 11 (17:41):
No, it's people all over. It's for everybody. It's not
just for democrats.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
It's the kitchen table a bit.
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Yeah, we just want to talk about issues and mostly listen,
I've learned about a lot of different issues that I
didn't know about. You know, we have to know a
lot about everything, so it's really hard to do. And
so I've learned a lot about issues that I didn't
know anything about.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
How different have they been because I very well, here's
what I learned, you know, Amanda Bearr and my co
host on Metro News middate. She did the one in Huntington.
She was sort of serving as the as the moderator.
I guess the one Huntington, and she did the one
at Charleston, and you know, they're not that far apart,
but they were very different there.
Speaker 11 (18:18):
Every single one has its own personality. They've all been
very different, and I imagine flat Woods will be different
this week. I imagine Beckley will be different next week.
They're all they've all got their own flavor, just like
our you know, every community does.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
So when and where is the one in flat Woods.
Speaker 11 (18:36):
Smart Night in flat Woods? I don't know where it is.
I need to figure it out. But you can follow
us on West Virginia House Democrats Facebook page. And it's
not just the House. Senator Garcia has been with us
as well, but yeah, you can follow us on Facebook
and the event information will be on there.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I want to talk about some national stuff for a moment,
Delegate and you, and we're talking with Delegate Kaylee Young.
If there isn't a resolution reached, Snap benefits going to
go away starting on November first, which is this Saturday.
And you obviously have concerns about that.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
I have a lot of concerns about that. You know,
I've fought for children forever and ever. I food security
is something that's really important to me. Over two hundred
and seventy thousand West Virginians receive staff benefits. Of that
two hundred and seventy thousand, over one hundred thousand of
those are children. And so I'm very concerned about snap
benefits ending this weekend.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
And they're scheduled, you know, as you said, to end
on November.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
The first, Yes, they are. That's very soon. The holiday
seasons are approaching. I think I believe that today might
be the cutoff for if it doesn't happen today, they're
going to get pushback regardless. So I'm worried for people.
People need to eat well.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
And speaking of which, I read something the other day
that maybe with the trigg or treat happening you know,
Thursday or Friday night, depending on where you live, it's
Friday night to where I live in Putnam County, that
people may want to consider handing out more practical things
for trick or treaty, maybe not so much snickers and
suckers and more more practical because I don't know how
(20:08):
the kids are going to feel, Like, yeah, I have.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Like mixed feelings about that, right mostly because like our children,
What are children going to think about that when they
just have like a whole bunch of rom noodles and
mac and cheese in their tree sooxes? And then how
do the parents explain that to the children. And it's
also like, depending on what neighborhood you're in, are those
the people that need it? I think there's better, more
tangible ways to help, way better ways to help. But
(20:33):
I mean, I don't think it's a bad idea by
any means. I also really want to point out the
governor expedited one point one million dollars that was allocated
in this this year's budget to our food banks. So
they were already going to get it, it's just he
expedited it to get it there faster. So I want
to commend him for doing that and also ask him
to do some more. Call the legislature and.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I was going to say, what would you like to
see him do?
Speaker 11 (20:56):
So there's a lot of options he could do. He
could use this contingency fund. It's forty seven million dollars
that it costs to pay for snap in West Virginia
for one month, forty seven million dollars. He's probably got
that in his contingency fund. If not, call the legislature
in and let us appropriate some money to do it
or uh. One state has called in the National Guard
to help at food banks. There's options here, but we
(21:19):
cannot let West Virginians go hungry.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
And again, this is a very very very real thing.
And here's what I talked about last week. When it
comes to the shutdown and things of that nature, most
people see Washington has just been so far removed from
their daily lives. I do they, well, normal people do.
I mean, because you hear about the budgets and you
hear about it and it's not really anything you can
wrap your head around, so to speak. But this is real.
(21:45):
I mean, this is this is this. And you mentioned
the Medicaid cuts as well, and that's something else that's
got a lot of people can start and talking about that.
But about the Medican get I.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
Mean, the Medicaid cuts are they're coming. And you know
that's a big fight that's going on with this shutdown
right now. I don't I want to get into what
each side's fighting for. And fighting against I couldn't care
less about that. What I care about are people having
healthcare and people having food and being able to get
through the day, right. I mean, I know in our
legislature we've had a lot of people this year who
(22:14):
have said make America healthy again. That's a big movement
that's going on right now. I don't know how we
can claim that we're making people healthy while that we're
taking away the food from children and elderly people, people
that are working and their dependence. I just this is
a very real, very pressing issue, and if we don't
get some sort of solution by this weekend, we're going
(22:34):
to have a lot of hungry West Virginians and also
less important but still important nine billion dollars missing from
our economy that goes into grocery stores. That's very real too.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You know, we had a minister on the show on
Friday who operates a food bank actually in Putnam County,
and then later today on Metro News Midday, we're going
to talk to the folks a Mountaineer food bank as well.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I think there's also a misconception about people that are
using these food banks and medicaid and so on and
so forth. I mean, the overwhelming majority of people that
are on Medicaid are working.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Hey, they are.
Speaker 11 (23:09):
And please remember that those work requirements that were passed
in the Big Bill earlier this year, they also kick
in this Saturday, so it's getting stricter this weekend as well,
and it might not be there at all. So, yes,
most people that receive benefits are working, or they have
very young children, or they have a disability. Those are
(23:29):
the people we are in charge of taking care of.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Are you hopeful? I mean, obviously we want everybody wants
to shut down to come to it. Are you hopeful?
Do you see any like that it may come to
an ambiacary.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
From the federal government. Absolutely not, which is why I'm
calling on the governor to step up for West Virginia
and do more for West Virginians. I'm very thankful for
what he did do, but we have to do more.
I heard him say, you know, West Virginians really need
to step up, and they really need to donate to
all of our food banks. And yes, we absolutely all
need to be doing everything we can to donate to
our food banks and food pantries. I'm glad they're coming
(24:00):
on they're wonderful, but they can't fill those gaps. They
can't one point one million dollars. That's four dollars for
every person on on snap right. That's that's not enough.
That's not going to feed people for even a single day.
That is not enough. And also, I don't know about you,
but every time I go to the grocery store, I
walk out and I'm like, whooh, that was a lot
more expensive than I thought it was going to be.
(24:21):
So whatever your income level is, everybody's pension pennies right now,
and we're getting into the holiday season where everything's more expensive.
So yes, we want West Virginia's to step up and
do more, but I understand not everybody can do that
right now. So we need the government to step in
cover the food benefits for these people for at least
the next month because we can't count on the federal
(24:41):
government to get it done.
Speaker 3 (24:43):

Be, Get to work, Go to work and figure it out.
That's it. People are hungry. This is a dire situation.
I don't like to be hyperbolic at all. This is
a dire situation. Get to work, and also call our
governor and tell him that the state needs to step
up in the meantime like all the others, not all
the other states, but a lot of other states are
(25:27):
stepping up. They're not just blue states. Red states are
stepping up. Louisiana just put one hundred and fifty million
dollars towards this. We need forty seven million dollars to
get it done. And the governor can do that on
his own, and if he can't do that, he can
send us in to do it. We have to do this.
There is no This is not politics, This is not

of other activities going on. Tony Hodge is going to
(29:14):
join us to talk about that. TJ. Meadows is here,
Jeff Jenkins with the news and more, Metro News Midday
with thirteen News and Tonight Live anchor Manda Baron and
Me Noon to three Today powered by Selango Law. Let
me knock out a couple of texts here. Text says Dave,
Why is WCCHS promoting Tony Hodge's Charlie Kirk and doctrination
class on the morning news? Is that important? Is the
(29:35):
news that's slow? Is your station in mid range? Propaganda
outlet for theocratic fascism? Know and know it seems so
to those questions, That's exactly what we are. As a
matter of fact, I have business cards made. This says
propaganda outlet for Fascism. I have business cards.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
That say when's Tony going to be on?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
He will be on twelve forty five today today.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Yeah, well I want to hear that, all right. Yeah
he's a friend.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That's Danny Jones.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
I like to Oh, I'm sorry, dude, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I mean people know you. I want to so you
can jump in here. Other than not. Got a couple
of texts though, okay right. Another text says nine billion
dollars will be missing from grocery stores if Snap isn't available.
It seems like a lot of grocery company's bottom lines
will be affected. It says a texture, uh, handout blooney
sandwiches for everyone. Have you seen the price of boloney?
(30:28):
You can buy steak for what you can buy a
blooney for right now. I don't think that they were
talking about Halloween. I don't think that's necessarily a good idea.
Text says that Dave, I see where local businessman's stepping
up to feed our children while the government shutdown is
going on. People need to shop these grocery stores and
support his local businesses agreed. Texas just wanted to know
if the governor legislator have any plans to use the
(30:49):
people's billion dollar Randy Day Fund to help people during
the government shutdown, people will lose their snap benefits. November
the first, Well, the governor has allocated some money, but
you just heard to deadly get Kaylee Young saying he
should alligate allocate more. Now, Daddy Jones, how ain't doing buddy.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
I'm doing fine. How is this? How is this the
Republican's fault? I mean, the Republicans are voting to open
the government, right, and the Democrats are voting to shut
it down pretty much. Yeah, and if he opened it
back up, you get snapped. If he keeps clothes, you
(31:28):
don't get snapped. All right. I just wanted to get it.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Just make sure we got that straight. So let me
let me ask you about the book. We couple of
weeks away now.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
From the book November seventeenth, Okay, yeah, it'll it'll be
out and then on the twenty second of November, I'll
have a book signing two o'clock in the afternoon on
Taylor Books. Uh huh. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
And it just blows my mind, mister Jones, that you
are that you are fearful that people aren't going to
buy this book? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Me.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
I was reading through it this morning. I was actually,
I don't do that very often. I was reading through it,
and I had criticism we spent too much time on
the needles. Towards the end of the book. Who criticized it, Well,
you know, Counselman Lane was the big backer of the needles.
(32:25):
But jb Akers went over there and investigated and proved
it was just a big fraud. There was no to
find out if somebody is going to if you're doing
anything preventive, you got to test them when they get there.
(32:47):
That was absent nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I mean, that was one of the biggest things that
I remember about your administration was that argument over the
needle distribution in Charleston. So, I mean, I don't know
how you could well.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
It almost ruined the city. And down at Health Right.
Your treated is a patient and Health Right has a
way of squeezing the money, you know, whether it's Medicaid
or whatever it is. And a third of their patients
(33:18):
that participate in their needle exchange go into recovery. Nobody there.
There wasn't a record of any one person going into
recovery there, nor was there any record of anybody getting
(33:39):
You don't know if that you prevented AID or HIV
or anything, because there was no there was no task
given before or after. In other words, all they did
was give away needles. But the council majority of council,
they loved it.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
So it's definitely looking forward to that now. Last week
on the show, I had there's another gentleman who is
writing a book bill, Pacozy, very well known promoter, and
I joked, I said, well, we got two iconic Charleston
figures that have books out at the same time. Bill's
was already out, I think because he was at the
book festival of this this weekend. So well, there's a
(34:22):
I mean, I think it's two interesting reads by two
by to Charleston icons.
Speaker 7 (34:28):
Yeah, I was listeninging. He doesn't care for me, you
said that. I think that I don't really know him.
He was upset that I became mayor. Hiss the worst
didn't come in and he used to have the barbecue
thing down here, ripped on the boulevard, and then it
(34:51):
does and then he he didn't have a quit having
it and he left because I was the mayor. That's
what he said news. I read the newspaper. So he
moved from town to town, and then he came back
and I got a call from the liquor commission. They
said he wants a beer license and the city has
(35:15):
to give permission. I said, fine, give him a beer license.
I don't know him. I mean, when you, when you
are elected official, when you occupy public space, people don't
like you.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Some people, especially when you're the mayor of the largest
city in West Virginia, the capital city, and no matter.
Speaker 7 (35:40):
Who the mayor is, and they don't they don't like it.
And I don't.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Really care, especially now, you don't care. No, you didn't
care then.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
No, I didn't. I didn't even know he was still around.
But like I say, I don't know him. I knew
his sister, Connie. She was a dance teacher.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Okay, all right, tex says I'm an independent voter and
I want to hear from my constituents. I think the
Republicans have been a huge disappointment to our state. No job,
still losing population, things getting worse. I think it depends
on I'll let you weigh in on that, but I
think it depends on where you live as to whether
there are no jobs and whether there's people moving in
(36:20):
because in the Eastern Panhandle it's exploding. Morgantown area's exploding.
Or I live in Taye Valley, it's about ready to
burst wide open again.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
Yeah, but it's not here.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
No, it's not everywhere.
Speaker 7 (36:30):
I'll tell you. I'll tell you, I'll tell you South Charleston.
You know, they seem to be doing pretty well, but
the population of the state's going down. McDowell County when
I was born, had one hundred thousand people. One hundred thousand.
(36:51):
Now they're around nine.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
If even that, and it's going down. It's going down.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
I mean, I mean they couldn't even handle at Walmart.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Yeah, the Walmart closed. I mean when that same me
heard of a Walmart club. But a lot of that
was because of employee theft. That was one of the
reasons why. But I've said this about Mingo County. Uh
back back when I was in school and growing up,
Williamson was one of our big rivals, being a Logan Wildcat.
Williamson High School in Mingo County went from Triple A
(37:18):
to Triple A to double A to single A to
gone in ten years. They can they consolidated all these
little high schools in Mingo County that they weren't always
little places like Lenore's Mingo Central, Mingo Central. And there's
only uh, there's only two high schools in the entire
county now, where at one time there was six seven
(37:39):
now there's two. Where where was war war was in
McDowell County. Okay, Yeah, but I mean all those little
towns had their high schools and so on and so forth,
and they just they just don't now. I mean it's sad.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Last week we talked about the No King's rally yep,
And I've been thinking about this and thinking about and
I think it was a little bit of a cop
out for me to have said it just I hate
Trump rally. I think the bigger picture here is, and
(38:16):
it goes with the MAGA crowd too, is that people
are seeking community. They're seeking community. Expound upon that, well,
they're seeking something to belong to and that gives them.
I mean, the people that were in that, in that
involved in that were all in a good mood. They
(38:39):
were all having fun. And unless I'm wrong.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
And zero issues too, I mean, yeah, we're especially not
here in Charleston, I mean, or anywhere in West Virginia.
There were no issues there was no I mean, let's
face it, Danny wasn't January sixth, right.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
I don't understand, and you know, it's no skin off
my nose. Why President Trump is obsessed with going to
these big cities, I just don't. That's their problem. It's
their problem. It's not a federal problem.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Now.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
If he's going to guard federal courthouses or federal property,
that's totally different. And that's what happened in Portland, not
this time, but before he left office last time. They
were burning federal property. But if you want to if
(39:40):
you want to know about January sixth, read list Tenny's book.
I mean, now, I listened to it, and it is juicy.
It tells you what happened, blow by blow by blow.
I mean, this moved this way. And Mark Wayne Mullins,
who's now senator, you know the guy was he said,
(40:02):
you all go through that door right there, and Liz,
Liz changing those women looked at him and said, got it.
You know it was And she got into it with
Tom Delay on the floor and says, U f and
caused this. And you know everybody's sewed around F bombs.
And you know, Nancy Mace, you know, she's running for
(40:25):
governor down there in South Carolina, and she's was the
first female to graduate from the Citadel. And she was
on Bill maher a week or so ago and she
(40:47):
she uh dropped an F bomb.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
What's cable television? You can do that on cable telling.
Speaker 7 (40:53):
I'm not I'm not quarrel with that. But she's running
for governor. Were the most religious state in the counting point.
That's a very good point. I mean, if I was
her opponent, I said, what I mean doesn't offend me.
I've tried to get away from using that kind of language.
I am, I really am. I really working hard to
(41:16):
try to do that.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
But me too, but it didn't always work. Let me
knock out. Let me knock out a couple of sects here.
When's the last time Riley Moore has been in DC
to work. It's been over a month. This has to stop. Now.
You wanna take a little Danny Jones' criticism here. Sure,
Danny allowed needles and it backfired on him, and he
started the blame game. You were mayor, it's on you,
(41:37):
and don't blame others. Just like them all.
Speaker 7 (41:44):
Okay, there's there's a little bit of truth there. I
voted for it. I thought they were going to do
one hundred a week. They were doing twelve thousand every Wednesday,
and when we tried to stop it, the majority of
council went against us. But then we did an undercover
(42:11):
sting operation on them to prove they weren't following the procedures.
So Steve Cooper shut it down or told them they
had to shut it down, and they shut it down
on their own.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Texays touted all these town halls, by the way, gops
held a lot more over time. So how about you
and all other state Democrat contact Schumer and Jeffrey's office
to demand they joined Fetterman and Warno to pass the
CR And what do any of you say in response
to all those videos posted by people saying they will
steal cartloads of food if they don't get their food stamps.
(42:46):
Not one word of condemnation from Democrats. I think that
was probably aimed it to a delegate Kayale Young, texays,
it's not the Republicans. This is all on the Democrats,
and you know it.
Speaker 7 (42:58):
I think right now it is because the Democrats could
It would seem to me like the leadership should say okay,
that's what we'll do. You pass a c R and
well and are in some good faith negotiations about medicaid?
Is that what the problem is? You know?
Speaker 3 (43:16):
Well? And it all goes back to you know a
lot of the I mean, and I'm not trying to
sound like TJ. Meadows here, and then we got to
do the break one way or the other, Danny, this
country is broke. It is broke, and it's getting broker,
you know, for lack of a better term. And the
only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats right now
is the amount that the Republicans want to add less
(43:38):
a few less trillion dollars than what Democrats do. That's
the only difference. Both sides don't seem to get it.
Speaker 7 (43:45):
Do you know who you sound like? Is that Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
I'm a fan of Steven except he hates the Dallas
Cowboys and so other than that, he's okay, Well, we
got to take a break, my Steeler. He could well.
Dallas is the number one rated offense in the league
and the worst rated defense, So you don't win games
when you play that way. But Dave Allen Show and

Speaker 7 (48:07):
We were at the Hub, there's a poor whom I
hung out at, and a guy came in there and
offered a job to work the Roaring Twenties, which was
the best nightclub in the city. And he said ten
dollars a night to wash glasses. Richard took it. None
(48:29):
of us said any money. We didn't have jobs. And
then George Jarrett, who I named my son afternoon he
went up. Richard then became a bartender, and then George
went up and started watching glasses. Well, I couldn't I
looked fourteen years old. I couldn't get a job. So
I went back to the Sterling and stayed there until

I did. I mean, he was the leader of George
and me and he we have those moments, that titular
moments in our lives, and that was one for me,
(49:30):
and it was at the Hub Poor Room, and I
don't know what I'd be doing if I hadn't been
for that. That's when I became indelibly part of the
streets of the city. I mean that's when I would
we get off work. I'd get off work at six
o'clock in the morning. I didn't have a car, so
I walked home. Richard and George would walk across the
(49:53):
bridge and thumb out Ferry Branch Road on the ramp,
and I thumb up Louden Heights. And there's a chapter
in there about him, but he's not gonna he's not
gonna participate in and I think in an audible audible thing.
