Speaker 6 (02:31):
Good morning, Dave, thank you so much for having me.
I'm really excited to be here and in these wonderful
new studios.

Speaker 7 (02:36):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
And there's something someone who would know something about studios
because we watched you for for how long were you
at w.

Speaker 7 (02:43):
Dowek for about three and a half years?

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Three and a half years? And you also would know
something about radio because you studied at Penn were you
Penn State? At Penn State? Study at Penn State? And
the guy that you happen to share a home with.
Is a vetteritan of ours here?

Speaker 8 (02:59):
Right?

Speaker 5 (02:59):
Yes, yep.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
My husband Jake was a reporter here for about four
and a half years as well, So I'm very familiar
with these studios and everybody here. And you guys are
great and do such good work and yeah, just really
excited to be here.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
You don't have to suck up to us. We gave
you the time already. Okay, you're good, You're good. But
but Aaron is now with the Charlestonary Alliance. How long
have you been with the Alliance?

Speaker 6 (03:18):
I've been there for it was August of last year,
so about a year and three months now. It's been
it's been fun.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
And for those who don't know what exactly is the role,
what's the mission statement if you will, of the Charlestonnary Alliance.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
Sure, so we are the community and economic development organization
and we're also serve as the regional Chamber of Commerce.
So we just try to really help the business community
out with jobs, business retention and expansion and and all
those good kind of things.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
What's the what's an average day for you?

Speaker 7 (03:49):
Look like, Oh, it's it's differ every day.

Speaker 6 (03:52):
Yeah, I mean, we're we're always just trying to leverage
new ideas and implement certain things and doing all all
kinds of different events, whether it's business after hours. We
have an Elevations coming up. We have a lot of
different stuff that we're we have in the works, so
every day's really different.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Now what exactly is Elevations. I saw some information about that.
I get an email about that. What exactly is Elevation?

Speaker 6 (04:14):
Yes, So Elevations is our women's professional network luncheon. We
try to host them quarterly. This year was a little
different because we've been without a CEO for a year,
so it's been it's been a little difficult to you know,
get the flow of every day's kind of picking up
slack where they can. But the Elevations luncheon is where,

(04:36):
you know, we try to inspire women and just uplift
them and get somebody who can talk about, you know,
what they do and the difference they're making in West Virginia.
So we have a really interesting one coming up. It
is on November thirteenth, so next Wednesday, from eleven thirty
to one pm, and it's going to be called Her Service,

(04:59):
Her Story, and it's women shaping the Military. So Veterans
Day is on Monday, so we kind of want to
celebrate some women who you know, have made significant strides
in the military here in West Virginia. And it's going
to be a panel of four women. So two of
them are currently serving and two have served in the past.
So we're going to get a lot of different perspectives

(05:20):
from the women on this panel. And I can tell
you their names if you want sure. Brigadier General Michelle M.
Munger and she's the Special Assistant to the Adjutant General
of West Virginia and I believe she's also the first
female brigadier general in the state. Major Caroline Mariama and
she's the West Virginia National Guard Recruiting and Retention Battalion Commander.

(05:42):
So those are the two that are currently serving right
now in the military. And then we have Leanne Haley,
who is a former Army captain and MARAA. Boggs who
is a former Army major. And Mara is now she's
our CEO and president. She has stepped in. She's still
doing some work with Senator Mansion as he's rounding out
his term, but she's fully on board and it's cool

(06:04):
that she's going to be a participant. She has a
great background and we're just really excited to have her
on board.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I've known Mara for a number of years. As you said,
she worked for Senator Mansion's office, and when I was
in state government, she and I traveled a lot in
the same circles, you know, we would run into each
other a lot. And it's exciting because, as you said,
the organization has been without a CEO for I didn't
realize it had been that long, but without a year.
So mar is going to step in into that role.
She brings a wealth of information having worked for Senator Mansion,

(06:32):
but also with her background in the military, and a
lot of people may not realize. I got to talk
to her at an event that both of us were
at it. I mean, so far as her military service goes,
and everybody that signs their name on the dotted line
to serve in the military is a hero in my opinion,
no matter what they do. But she's a real deal.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
What she's done in the oh my gosh, she's so inspiring,
and that's why I am so excited that she's going
to be able to, you know, share her story and
what's she's been through in the military and in her
career this panel, but yeah, anybody that gets an opportunity
to just talk with her will know that she's the
real deal.

Speaker 7 (07:06):
And we're just so excited.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
I think she's going to be so transformative for our organization.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
So yeah, really excited.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
It's got a lot of good team members there at
the organization. I run a show from time to time
around town. You got a lot of good folks doing
doing some good stuff there.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah, we're all and you know, everybody kind of has
their hands in different things and is doing different projects.
So it's cool that when we all can come together
and talk about what we're all working on, we realize,
oh my gosh, we're all we have a lot going on.
So really good people, really good organization, Really excited for
the future of it.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Talking to Aaron Noon to the Charleston Area Alliance, so
to Dave Allen showing five Idie li Ive brought to
you part by Morgan and Morgan. It was more than
twenty billion dollars recovered. They believe that when you're injured,
you deserve more. Morgan and Morgan America's largest injury law firm.
So we talked about the elevations, we talked about these
other things you've got going on, give us some more
because you sent me a whole bunch, so go ahead,
what else you got.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
Yeah, So following elevations next week, on the Thursday, we're
going to have our business after hour.

Speaker 7 (08:00):
Orse, we have a business after hours once a month.

Speaker 6 (08:02):
It's usually, actually it's not usually, it's always the second
Thursday of the month from five to seven, and we
rotate which business is gonna you know, we're gonna highlight
and where we're gonna who's gonna host it? So next
month will be at the or next week, I should say,
my apologies the West Virginia Regional Technology Park, but it's
also in their co hosting it with Arkland a means.

(08:24):
So that's gonna be from five to seven next Thursday
at the West Virginia Regional Technology Park. And that's just
a good opportunity for people who you know, might be
new to the area or new in their role, or
just trying to get more networking opportunities. That's a good
way to go out there, bring some business cards, meet
a whole lot of new people and connect.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
So it's good.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Now if I if somebody's listened to the show Aaron,
and they are a business owner, they're a business manager
or whatever, and they're thinking, well, what can what can
the Charleston Area Alliance do for me? What would you
tell them?

Speaker 7 (08:57):
Sure?

Speaker 6 (08:58):
I would the number one thing I would say the
networking opportunities. We're constantly doing referrals and just you know,
connecting businesses with other businesses and people who might need an.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
Area of help. But we also do so much more.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
I mean, we're working on the Business Improvement District downtown,
the Charleston Lift Center. It's our learning, innovation, food and
technology hub that's going to be on the East end.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Now where will that be on the east end on
Dixie Street.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
It's kind of hidden, it's you know what I'm talking about.
It used to be the old Canan manufacturing site. Okay,
so we're transforming that into this whole new, whole new project.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
And what exactly is going to go on there?

Speaker 6 (09:38):
So right now we have Drew Dunlapp who is our
director of Economic Development. He could probably give you some
better insights, so we'll get him.

Speaker 9 (09:44):
On this job.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
I know Drew very well, do not go way back.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
He's the best.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
But right now I think we have two tenants in there,
the Marshall Battery Manufacturing Center, and then we're also going
to have a food hub, so it'll be like three
commercial kitchens. For a business that might want to be
able to you know, mass produce their product. This is
going to be an easy way for them to go
out and do that and get it distributed to people

(10:09):
all over the state.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
So we have any tenants, and let me tell you
that happens a lot because somebody has an idea. They
bake something, or they do something they want, you know,
pepperoni rolls or whatever, and they want to be able
to mass produce this one thing, cooking for your family
or cooking for a church group or whatever in your kitchen.
But when you're starting to get these products out to
other businesses, to go to to other retail establishments or whatever,

(10:31):
it becomes a whole different thing. And a lot of
these businesses, I won't say that they fail, but they
put the brakes on that particular project era because they
can't do that in their small kitchen and their home
in South Charleston. You know that they need a bigger
place to do that.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
Yeah, and we've heard from people in the community and
the mayor that you know, this is a need that we,
you know, have in Charleston and Kannak County. So we're
really excited to implement it. And you know, we don't
these We want everybody to have an option. They don't
have to go out and purchase all this expensive equipment
for them to mass.

Speaker 7 (11:07):
Produce their product.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
We're going to have it here for you so that
you can, you know, get it up and running and
really get your business. We want your business to succeed.
That's really the mission of the Charleston Arey Alliance. We
just want you, guys, or any business to succeed, and
we're going to help you in any way, shape or
form that we can do that. So just get in
touch with any kind any one of our employees over

it's an abundant light.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
But today we're gonna talk politics, all right, So I
do you want to start local you want to start nationally,
you want to start to stay all right, So.

Speaker 12 (16:35):
It was a route, right, it was a rout, big
time route Trump route.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
And what I've.

Speaker 12 (16:42):
What I've and I don't think the other pundits have
said this to the depth that I want to compare
and contrast. But the Democrats did something. They put all
their eggs in the abortion basket, right, and the divisiveness
of demographics. You know, let's let's put pitch this this
demographic against that demographic. Lets stereotype that demographic, and let's

(17:06):
assume that that demographic is going to vote Democrat. Okay,
I'll give you an example. The Latinos, right, Latinos they
assumed were perfectly okay with illegal immigration because a lot
of those are Latinos. They also assumed that because they

(17:29):
were a minority, they would vote Democrat, which is a.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Big mistake that the Democratic parties made in general long
before this election.

Speaker 12 (17:37):
That's just one example. Act So what they what they
don't take, what they didn't take. And by the way,
I don't want to change their mindset at all. I
want them to continue to do what they're doing. But Latinas, right,
are Catholic and Catholics are pro life, okay, and so
by me and the other stereotype it is it's like

(17:59):
they're assuming that Latinos who come to this the United
States legally are going to embrace illegal and that's not true,
not at all.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Okay, they're a little pissed about it. A lot of
many of them are actually a little angry about it.

Speaker 12 (18:13):
Right right, we had to go ten years to a
heck of a process. You just get to walk over
the border. So that's just one example of what they know.
You know, the gay community, the black community, Asians, they
did this demographic stereotype again, projecting onto them a stereotype

(18:38):
that I'm a minority, I'm going to vote Democrat, I'm this,
I'm going to vote Democrat. And they created a straw
man argument, which is the Republicans or this Republicans or
that Republicans are this, and you hate this, this and this.

Speaker 13 (18:52):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (18:54):
By contrast, this is what the Republicans say to people.
You you are in a socioeconomic status. Okay, you're a
middle class gay gay family, you're a middle class Asian family,
you're a middle class whatever. Okay, we're going to help

(19:14):
all of you across the board.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
We're not going to single.

Speaker 12 (19:18):
You out demographically. We're going to help every because rising
tide raises all ships. And that's what the Republicans message is,
We're going to help everyone. We don't care what your
demographic is, compared to the divisiveness of the Democrats who
say hate Republicans because of this stereotype that we are

(19:42):
projecting on you, most of which are antiquated, right, These
antiquated stereotypes.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, and there's a lot of those, because you know,
I have Mike Pushkin on the show frequently, State Democratic
Party Chair, and Mike is always pushing this thing and
he and I've gone back and forth on it about
the Democratic Party is the of the working people. There
is a certain there was a certain truth to that
at one time, but again that's just a big a

(20:08):
misconception as saying that all that if you are Latino,
you're this whatever, that you are supposed to vote Democratic, right,
and that the Republicans are just for the country club
folks and the rich people and so on and so forth.
These stereotypes are all wrong, All of them are well.

Speaker 12 (20:24):
And the statistics literally are now and you'll I'll give you,
I'll give you examples that you obviously know. But seventy
five percent of the wealth in this country is owned
by Democrats, right, So it's not the Republicans anymore that
own the wealth in the country club. It's the Democrats
who are in the country clubs. And look at all

(20:44):
the billionaires and millionaires, celebrities who endorsed Harris who I
mean what I mean? We had we had one Musk,
we had one.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Right, And I don't I don't think. I don't think
the account Holkgan and I don't know that Scott Bayo
is gonna is gonna move the needles.

Speaker 12 (21:05):
What I was saying, uh Big and Rich, I mean
John Rich. Yeah, there's there's a few that I follow,
and bless their hearts, nothing compared to the They're not.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
Robert de Niro. They're not Robert de Niro, Rob Ryner
and and those guys I saw on Sweater somebody posted
a list of the celebrities that people need to check
on because they were all going to leave the country.
And yeah, it was still several other people I saw
that did that too. Has anybody checked on de Niro's
anybody checked on on on on Oprah or what happened
with the view yesterday because I don't watch the post

(21:35):
of that. Okay, are you the source of everything on
the internet?

Speaker 12 (21:39):
Pretty much?

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Hey, I got a traffic note I need to pass
on to you. Just under you know, there was a
big incident uh down into Merritt's Creek exit this morning.
There has been a second tractor trailer fire reported in
that scene this morning, from what we understand, again closing
both directions. So they got that, they got that taken
care of earlier, They in the process of it. Now

(22:01):
there is a second. So if you're traveling toward the
Huntingson area right now, you get to that Marriage Creek exit,
this is near there. From what I understand, this literally
just came through. So just please please know that. Got
a text here for you that says, I don't often
relate to Rusty web, but his analysis is spot on,
well done, says the text. That's nice Texas, Dave or Rusty.

(22:24):
As we were watching them break down each state, we
saw nothing but a sea of red in almost every state,
which got us wondering, how do the Dems win anything?

Speaker 12 (22:33):
Well, apparently they lost twenty million voters between twenty twenty
and twenty twenty four. If you just look at the
raw numbers, there's, yeah, eighty one versus sixty.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
One, and not all those went Republican, rusty, I mean
someone independent. But regardless, they lost, they're losing numbers well.

Speaker 12 (22:52):
And they again they're treating the cities. There's treating our
large they win the large cities. I mean, that's that.
There's no there's no mystery to this. The Republicans or
you know, they called them on the View yesterday, they
called the uneducated women, you know, just without any remorse,

(23:14):
just said uneducated women. And you know, the thing is
is and there's a country song back in the nineties
about this or two thousands where the Flyover states like
like the Democrats want to appease and be a part
of the pop culture and you know in LA and

(23:34):
the elite New York set, and so they adopt whatever
the people on the View or MSNBC or CNBC, they
adopt their policies because they have this incestuous relationship.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
That's where the money is.

Speaker 12 (23:49):
Yeah, that's where the money.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
That's where the money is. Yeah, and and the flyover
so you're exactly right, and there's so many you know,
New York Chicago, La. You know, fill in whatever city
you want to, but there's there's a whole lot of
Kansas out there, and there's a whole lot of West
Virginia and there, and and the United States is not
New York. It's not Los Angeles. And look and look,
I'm gonna be fair. Don't tell them that. Look I'm

(24:12):
gonna be fair too and say that. Sometimes Charleston has
a problem with that, thinking that all of the state
of West Virginia is Charleston, Huntingson, Morgantown, and there's a
whole lot more Shenston's.

Speaker 12 (24:27):
It's a good segue because what you saw is you
saw one state senator elected in the Fairmont Morgantown area,
which is the last bastion of liberalism that in Charleston
and Huntington. But Huntington you saw a Republican elected. That
doesn't mean that they're going to go, you know, all conservative, right.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
I think that a universe. Patrick's to moderate, he's a
modern Patrick. Yeah, he's American center right.

Speaker 12 (24:56):
But but you know that's what you're seeing, and you're
you know, in the West Virginia legislature that sent us
down to two and the House is down to nine,
which is I think worse than the post Watergate when
on the Republican side and everybody took a you know,
a beating on that one. But Patrick Morrisey, Governor elect,

(25:19):
Patrick Morrisey, you remember the Monty Python when they during
the their broadcast, they'd say, and now for something totally different,
that's Patrick Morris. You're going to see. You're not going
to see, good old boy, you're not going to see.

Speaker 8 (25:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (25:42):
I think lobbyists are going to have a much much
lesser role, you know, than they've had in the past.
And you know, my brother's one of them. Sorry, bro,
But I think you're going to see practical legislation, lot
of low hanging fruit that still is still out there,

(26:03):
a lot of the right sizing of state government. And
you say, well, you can't cut, you can't cut, you
can't cut.

Speaker 13 (26:12):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (26:12):
There's a lot of hidden money out there, a lot
of hidden money, a lot of a lot of hoarded,
hoarded money in these in these agencies, and you need
the right people to help you find it. But it's
out there.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Let me ask not a couple of texts here, Texas rusty,
Our children are uneducated. We're fiftieth in the nation in education.
They're not wrong. I guess in talking about West Virginia
is being uneducated. I mean, I'm assuming that's what the
texture meant.

Speaker 12 (26:35):
No, actually, what they actually when that in that sunny
Holston made sure that she doubled down on it. And
what it means is not with no college degree. But
she didn't make that distinction, and she just wanted to
make sure that any everyone in the fly over states

(26:56):
knew that. You know that they let down the country,
the uneducated women, and it's it was just an insult.
I mean, they're still in after the loss, they're still
insulting people. You know, they're just still so bitter.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Well, let's be fair, Rusty, let's be fair. There was
a former commander in chief forty five about to be
commander in chief forty seven that spent four years insulting people.
Fair enough, fair enough, Texas. Dave Trump has spread hate
day one. It's in our churches. Tell me what Republicans
have done for working people and families.

Speaker 12 (27:30):
I'll let you take that in the middle class, lower
taxes on the middle class, I mean, and he's going
to do it. He's going to do it more. That's
how we're going to raise the tide. Okay, that's how
we're going to raise the tide, because he's going to
focus on everyone across the socioeconomic spectrum, not demographics of

(27:52):
this this this culture, this religion, this race. It's divisive.
It's divisive, and we I think we've had enough of it.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Honestly, I would agree, Texas Morning Day, that's awful big
of the Democrats to take the high road and conceive
the election, while pointing out how Trump didn't do the
same in twenty twenty. No, actually, it was a landslide.
They didn't have a choice. I agree with that. But
let me ask you this. Had these situations been reversed
and Kamala Harris would have won as big of victory

(28:23):
as Donald Trump did, do you think Donald Trump would
have come out as Kamala Harris did yesterday and I
watched it live, she did an interview or she did
a press conference at Howard University. Would Donald Trump have
come out and did what Kamala Harris did yesterday and
said we must accept the results of the election. Let's
move on. Would Donald Trump have done Probably?

Speaker 9 (28:44):
Not?

Speaker 12 (28:45):
All right, let me say this about it. Let me
say this about the vice president. Okay, her speech yesterday
was the most cohesive, coherent, elegant speach that she gave
the entire campaign. And had she done that at every

(29:07):
stop instead of this, you know this, we what's in
the past is in the future, all that stuff she
would have she would have probably done better.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Her best speech i've heard her give, and I haven't
seen all of them. That was the best speech yesterday
in losing that i've heard her give. Danny and I
talked about this yesterday. We're going to start to wrap
it up. Danny and I have talked about this yesterday,
and I referenced Martha Rabbits from ABC News who said
on election night that she felt America just didn't know
Kamala Harris. They never got to know her. I call

(29:37):
bs on that rusty, because, yeah, she just got thrust
into the presidency, but she's been in public life all
of her adult life. If you don't know Kamala Harris,
that's on you, Yeah, because it's out there, it's on you.

Speaker 12 (29:50):
But I you know, but the but the other And
I'm saying I'm trying to be objective in this in
this comment. I never heard one policy come out of
her mouth. It was just it was it was that
salad thing she did. I mean I never heard I
mean they I guess if you went to her website,

(30:11):
which I wouldn't do, you would see some kind of policy.
But I never heard one thing or or never rebutted.
She never rebutted the you know, the all the illegal
aliens that came over during her tenure. She never she
was in a you know, and then she had to
embrace her president. You know, she had to. You can't
not embrace the administration that you've been in. So she

(30:34):
had this kind of double whammie going right.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah, I mean I got a couple of texts here
before we let you go, ask Russey to a pine
on Ohio and Montana Senate flips thoughts on also picking
up Pennsylvania and others. Also a take picking up the House.

Speaker 13 (30:49):
I just.

Speaker 12 (30:54):
Insulting people and calling them garbage and calling them Nazis. Uh,
focusing on abortion as the only issue I heard, And
the other one was the men in the women's sports
and bathrooms. I mean, they just doubled down on it.
And the American people are not stupid. They don't want that,

(31:16):
they don't want it. We don't want it here. We
certainly mean we're the lead. Patrick Morrisey's is the lead
case in the United States Supreme Court on keeping men
out of women's sports literally right now.

do what many others do, but Trump, But Trump wrong, Sonny,
Joy Whoopy and the rest of the coven insult the people.
Trump insults them. Big difference as a texture. Texays Trump
gave big businesses a fifteen percent tax break. Only legislation
he got done is one percent. Text says Trump walked

(34:45):
away peacefully even though they rigged twenty twenty. That's not true.
He said, go protest peacefully. That's not true. Get off
your soapbox, Dave, Okay, I'll get off my soapbox. Tex
says Dave Harris might have had a good farewell speech,
but the American voters had common sense and looked at
her devastating policies and chose the best candidate for the office,

Manchin on the show Today Plus Now. With the election
is behind us, how does this all shape out as
far as numbers go for the Senate of the House.
Ryan Schmel's The Fox News Radio will discuss h We
have more on the ongoing traffic situations on I sixty
four at Merit's Creek Chris Lawrence, we'll talk about that.

(35:28):
That's coming up to ten o six. We're bringing Jennifer
Fleshman now who's the program director of the Sojournals shelter
for homeless women and Families through the YWCA. Jennifer, good morning,
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 8 (35:38):
Good morning, Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Thank you for being here. And now as we transition
into the holiday season, what you got going on.

Speaker 8 (35:46):
Well, we're having we used to have Foody Feast and
we have transitioned to Thanksgiving. It's a digital donation campaign
where we're asking individuals to give donations based on anywhere
from one hundred dollars to one dollar, and that money
goes to provide an event for the sojourner's people, the

(36:07):
program participants. Then instead of an event for the community,
it's an event for them.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
What kind of numbers are we talking about you when
you do these type programs, Give me a ballpark figure?
How many families? How many people we talking about here
that you serve?

Speaker 8 (36:21):
Well, last year we served over six hundred children and
adults and we served over fifty two thousand meals and
we provided over twenty three thousand safe shelter nights.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
What's the average person that uses your services look like?
Because sometimes I've found, in talking to people Jennifer that
do this sort of thing for a living, not always
so you think, you know, it's not always I mean
there's sometimes it is, but it's not always who you
think you're looking at when you put out the welcome
at That's correct.

Speaker 8 (36:55):
We provide services to so many different individuals that come in.
People get down on their luck, they lose their job
at snowballs into them being homeless. There are people that
lost their homes to fire or to flood, There's mental
health issues. There's just so many reasons that people come
to Sojourners and we just try to help them all.

(37:16):
The average person is not your average person, you know.
It is somebody that works or maybe they lost their job,
but they're desperately trying to work, and it is not
you know, you get your stereotypical you know, you feel
like people are lazy, but that's not the case at all.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
There are certainly those that are, but I've found and
again interviewing a lot of people that do work as
you do, that it's not always what you think, and
I think that's I have the folks from Health Right
on a regular basis, and you know, Angie Settle tells
me that a lot of the people at health Right,
the majority of people that use Health Right services are
working people, So it's not always just the stereotype that

(37:56):
you may think it is. We're talking to do Jennifer
Fleshman about some activity going on with these folks for
the holiday season. But Dave Allen showing five eighty Live
is presented in part by Generations Physical Therapy, the leading
provider of out patient PT in the Tri State for
nearly thirty years. For an appointment called three zero four, seven, six,
zero fifty six to sixty or visit GENERATIONSPT dot com
and find a location near you. So you've got to

(38:17):
have in order to pull off these programs, you got
to have a lot of help from the community, from
the business community, so on and so forth. Talk about that, Well,
we have.

Speaker 8 (38:26):
A wonderful community. They help us so much, but there's
always more work to be done. So we need help
from business partnerships, individuals, anything that can help. We have
people that will bring us sheets or pillows or leftover
food from events that they have had, and we take

(38:48):
it all, we accept it all, and we use it all.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
That's a good point about you know, sheets and things
of that nature, and things that you may you know,
just discard you get get a new set on sale,
you know, and you say, there's nothing wrong with these,
but I want to get rid of them. What are
some of the other things that you take in or
that you could use for programs, not just doing the holidays,
but year round, talk about that.

Speaker 8 (39:09):
Year round. We always need twin size sheets, pillows, blankets
we provide everybody that comes to the shelter, they get
all of the personal hygiene items. Sometimes people come with
literally nothing, so we give them clothing vouchers to our
Past and Presence store. We give them soap, shampoo, razors.
Every little thing that we take for granted for having

(39:31):
an extra one in our clauset at home is something
that we need.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
And this would be really good. As you know, people
kind of get into giving mood a little bit more
so during the holiday season. We're doing some things here
as a matter of fact, as we head into Thanksgiving,
and we'll talk about that over the next couple of days.
But during the holiday season, people just kind of go, Okay,
I want to do something nice. The need is there
a year round, but you know you'll take what you
can get, you know, I completely, I completely understand that.

(39:57):
So I say that to say that if there's a
church group out there, if there's a civic organization, you know,
your rotary kawana is whatever. High school kids always need
community service hours. There are so many opportunities that you
can help out causes like this. We get into that
a little bit.

Speaker 8 (40:12):
Yes, they can do a drive for us, if they
want to do a drive at their school or their business,
to do winter coats or blankets or shampoo and soap.
You know, any of those things are helpful and we
appreciate it. If you want to come to the shelter
and volunteer, we always need painting done or organizing or

(40:35):
helping to serve a meal or to prepare a meal.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
All right, give us the contact information. I know you're
all over social media. What's the best way to reach people.

Speaker 8 (40:44):
Well, you can reach us on our website, which is
YWCA Charleston dot org. You can call me, you can.
My work cell phone is three oh four five five
zero eight five one five. I'm happy to talk to
you about anything you can do.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
All right, Jennifer's always pleasure to have you on the show,
and I'm sure we'll talk a few times between now
and the end of the holiday season. But again, the
need is not only here during Christmas and Thanksgiving to whatever.
It's year round, but special emphasis on it, I guess
this time of year, Jennifer, I appreciate you being here.

what do you have in Mike Pushkin back on the show.

(44:25):
Would love to hear his expert opinion on why the
voters nationwide shows overwhelmingly the Conservative Republican Party candidates. Thanks,
I've not heard from mister Pushkin. We have a tendency
to text back and forth on football in the NFL
Football Sundays, we don't have a lot to be joyous about.
He being a Jets fan and me being a Cowboys
fan this season. But anytime Pushkin is I haven't heard

(44:46):
from him, but he's He's always welcome on the show.
Devin Rusnick is here. She was elected Tuesday night by
the voters of Kenawa County to be the next prosecuting Attorney.
I guess the title is now prosecuting Attorney elect. Is
that right?

Speaker 7 (44:56):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (44:56):
All right, So welcome to the show, and congratulations.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 7 (45:00):
I'm glad to be back.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
I'm gonna need you to come. I'm gonna need you
crank up here. You're a soft speaker.

Speaker 8 (45:03):
Now.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
I know others in your life would say that that
is not My.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Husband would say, you are absolutely wrong.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
I wasn't going to say that, all right, And others
may say that. Our good friend and we have a
mutual friend, Tommy Clay, who I know is listening right now,
and Tommy Clay would probably not say that. But anyway,
talk about the campaign. Talk about the campaign overall, you know.

Speaker 9 (45:21):
It was it was a new experience for me, never
having been involved in any sort of political realm at all.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
So it was new.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
I learned a lot. I met a lot of.

Speaker 9 (45:31):
Great people, and you know, I was really able to
get out there and talk to people and find out
what they wanted, where we were lacking at the office,
where the public thought we were lacking, and how to
kind of take what they were giving me and move forward.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
And now it's time to go to work.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
It is time.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
But we've been in this role though. I mean, tell
tell people that are listening that may not know the
whole story, because it's not like, you know, you just
got hired off the street to be the procecuting attorney
and we're vote in. I mean, you've been doing this.

Speaker 8 (46:01):
For a while.

Speaker 9 (46:02):
I have. I was an assistant prosecutor for years under
Chuck Miller, and then I decided, I was when I
heard that Chuck was going to retire, I decided to
run for the position, and so I won the primary nomination,
and then shortly thereafter, I think it was in May,

(46:25):
I won. And then at the end of May beginning
of June, Chuck retired, and so the Kennall County Commission
appointed me to fill his spot as the Kennall County
prosecutor in the interim until the general election was had.
And so now I've won the general election and I
am ready to get to work.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
And with the issues that we had in Kanawha County,
which you know, they thankfully were able to get rectified,
we didn't know because of the problem with the memory
stick or whatever it was till seven am yesterday morning. Officially,
did you stay awake for the whole thing?

Speaker 9 (46:59):
I stayed away, wait until about five thirty. I went
to sleep, got two hours of sleep, got up at
seven thirty and went to work.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Okay, all right, but it was, you know, everybody's kind
of in it, because that was one of the races
that was a little bit closer. Some of them weren't
that close, but that was one of the ones that
that people were looking at talk about the you know,
in the primary, you know, the normally prosecuting a journey.
It's very important role, do not get me wrong, but
sometimes it's one that doesn't get all the attention. You know,
people are focused on mayors and governors and presidents and

(47:26):
not whatever sometimes, but this was one that it got
a little little testy, especially in the primary. And you
prevailed there and then in the in the general. I
don't know that it was. Maybe you have a different story.
I don't know that it was quite as testing. Maybe
it was. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
No, it certainly was not.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
And and and John Mitchell, you know, I had him
on the show a few times, just like I did Youse.
Seems like a very nice gentleman and a wealth of
experience and hopefully you two can talk and you know,
get ideas or whatever. But but so, why was it
that voters chose you? You have this resume, But at

(48:06):
the end of the day, the voters have to go
in the booth and they have to choose whoever they
want to serve them, no matter what the office, and
they chose deb Resnick. Why did they choose you?

Speaker 9 (48:13):
I believe that I really focused on getting my message
out there in terms of you know, everyone wants someone
who says they're tough on crime. But at the end
of the day, I've been able to show people I
am tough on crime, and I think that was a
big positive for me. I was able to be able
to get that message out let people know, you know

(48:33):
that I am not one that's going.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
To take these cases lightly, any case lightly.

Speaker 9 (48:39):
And that I feel my office has an obligation to
review every case with an unbiased eye, and I think
me getting that out there, being able to tell people
here's the work I've done, here's the work I want
to continue to do. I think that really set me
apart from both of the opposing candidates.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
And one of the things you had a couple while
the campaign was going on of high profile cases. I
had you on talking about the tragic situation where the
young man murdered the store clerk over in North Charleston.
I had you on to talk about that. You and
I both agreed that regardless those a lot of people's
lives were changed forever. And then I had you on
when we were having the rash of the school threats

(49:22):
and talking about the seriousness and what parents and students
need to know that this is some serious stuff here
that you're doing. This is not just as simple prank.
So you had some high profile things you were working on,
but the day to day work at the Prosecute Attorney's office,
a lot of times, unless it's that high profile case,
people don't always know about it, but it's still important.

Speaker 9 (49:39):
Nonetheless it is, And that is one thing that I
have really tried to change since I took over in June.
Is the transparency, because if the public is not seeing
the work that we're doing, then they don't think we're
doing any work. And so to be able to let
people know, here are the cases we have, here a

(50:00):
are you know, the cases that we've had, whether it
be convictions or plea offers or what for the public
to be able to see we are working. And not
only are we working, but we're working for them. And
so it's I believe, very very important that we have
some level you know, obviously the rules are very strict

(50:21):
on what we can and cannot reveal, but there needs
to be a level of transparency. And the people in
my office have really started understanding, you know, we work
for the county, we work for the citizens, and at
the end of the day, if we're not doing our job,
we're not protecting those citizens. And you know, you brought

(50:44):
up a good point when we were talking about the
case where the UH store clerk was murdered. That is
certainly one thing that a lot of people don't understand.
I think, you know, as prosecutors and police officers and
anyone involved in law enforcement, those things are hard on
us too, and so it's not if we're not out here,

(51:06):
you know, celebrating and you know, putting out this public
perception that we're so ecstatic over, you know, putting people
in prison for the rest of their lives.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
It's certainly not the case. It's the fact of the matter.

Speaker 9 (51:19):
The fact of the matter is we take those cases
to heart and we realize, no matter whether it is
a victim, a defendant, you know, a witness, this is
affecting real people.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
And their real life and to view that and as.

Speaker 9 (51:36):
A prosecutor or a police officer, oftentimes it's it's hard
to bear.
