General j B. McCuskey, how are you doing, my friend?

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Hey, Prayers for that kid? Was it Edgewood Elementary School?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
I get to walk my kids to school every morning,
and parents just get off your phones and slow down.
There isn't a week that goes by that somebody doesn't
whiz past me going fifty miles an hour up Loud
and I road, and you know there's kids going to school.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Be careful. It's they're the most important thing we got. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
I know, again, that story just broken within the last
couple of hours, and Jeff's going to have more on
it coming up a little bit later on in the tragedy.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah, but just prayers for that kid and their family
and everybody at that school.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
That's indeed, you picked a good day to be here.
Apparently it's some sort of a healthfare going on in
the building.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah. I think they're going to take my blood when
I got out of it.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I don't know. I mean, I just saw these armies
of bodies is coming into the building here. And you know,
anytime that I see people entering a radio station with
giant boxes, I assume it's the fans, right, That's that's
what I'm assuming.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
I would have assumed you would have assumed they were donuts.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
No, No, I was assuming that we were getting.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Rated for you've maybe been eating less donuts.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
I have been eating less donuts.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
You look like you've slimmed down a little bit. This
is pay Dave a compliment day. Actually make fun of
you when I'm in here. There's one, well, there's one.
I can't find another one.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, you don't.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
You don't have to do anything, al right. So you're
up in d C yesterday.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah, and just for a point of reference, that we
did our Tony the Taylor promo. On the way up,
I was wearing my Tony the Tailor blazer and slacks
and I got an enormous amount of compliments on the tailoring.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
So there you go. Check Tony out on.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
All right, there you go, Tony, There you go, Tony.
We'll be sending you a bill about that.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
But yeah, so we were in DC. Administrator Lee Zelden,
the administrator of the EPA, announced their rules concerning the
Waters of the United States rule and as everybody knows,
the Attorney General's Office in West Virginia under Governor Morrissey
led the Waters of the United States fight for five years.
And what happened was just for for some medification, is

(04:36):
that the term waters of the United States has been
somewhat bastardized by sort of the climate left, and it
was pushed to a place where you know it's raining
outside right now, where the little tiny stream that forms
when it rains going through your backyard, if you've got
a hillside behind you, and everybody in West Virginia does,
that would have been considered a water of the United.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
St And just for clarification, he's not being facetious about that,
because this actually happened to a very are you a
good friend of mine at a business person in Putnam
County when they were battling over basically what was a
puddle in their backyard.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
And it's happening to people in the Eastern Panhandle, and
it's happening to people in Montana and Idaho and you
name it. And the fines are up to thirty seven
thousand dollars per day for violations under the waters the
United States rules. So our office has been fighting that
forever and now I'm the Attorney General and because of
our leadership, the EPA looks to us in our office
and particularly our solicitors space for commentary on these rules.

(05:29):
So we were really proud to have been invited up
to this big announcement with the Governor. Got to spend
some good time with the Administrator and sort of talk
about the things that are happened in West Virginia. But
the long and the short of it is is he
is a incredibly thoughtful and common sense person, the administrator is,
and the rules that are coming out regarding waters the
United States are finally returning what is an important environmental

(05:52):
regulation into something that has common sense rules around it
that people can understand and that average people aren't going
to be prosecuted by the federal government for puddles in
their backyard. And this is going to be huge for
our mining industry. It's huge for our drilling industry, it's
huge for our manufacturing industry, it's huge for all of
our agricultural industry. Maybe the most are ranchers and farmers,

(06:14):
and we have a lot more agriculture in West Virginia
than people think. And you have our great Secretary Leonhard
on the air all the time, and when you really
look at it, the way our economy is, we have
so much more agriculture here than people think. And these
rules were making it impossible for American businesses to compete
on the world stage. And finally we have an EPA
with some common sense that's willing to allow not only

(06:37):
states to regulate these things because I promise West Virginia
cares about its air and water more than the people
in Washington do, but also give some certainty to our
businesses and families around what these rules really mean.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
So what would you say to those And I happen
to go over to your social media page, social media
page or the Attorney General not necessarily of you prepe see.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
A social media page. It's owned by the people of West.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
That's what I was going to say. But you know
their comments on there as are frequently are said, well,
you know you're rolling back. I mean, you and others
want to roll back and turn back years of progress
that we've had with the with ecology and the climate
and things of that nature.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Yeah, I mean if you think rolling back regulations that
completely stifle innovation, business growth, manufacturing growth, job growth, and
unfairly punish families and small businesses is rolling back.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
While also the new rules.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Continue to allow us to regulate what goes into our
rivers and streams. But rolling something back indicates that there's
a nefarious purpose. And that's something that the extreme climate
left and people on the left do all the time,
is they try to paint anyone who wants rational, regular
environmental protections as some kind of a lunatic who wants
to poison everybody, And that just couldn't be further from

(07:51):
the truth. And so it's really important for people like
me who believe in our mining and our drilling and
our manufacturing industries to stand firm and say, look, this
is not We cannot continue to let the left push
the middle so far left that nobody can do anything.
The middle is right where the middle is supposed to be,
and that is we have to make more electricity, We
have to grow our manufacturing sector. We have to protect

(08:12):
our ranchers and farmers, and we have to ensure that
America is able to do the things it needs to
do to compete on the world stage. And with unreasonable,
unfair regulations like the waters of the United States had become,
we cannot. And places like Russia and China and developing
nations have no environmental controls at all, and so it
is actually irrational for us to push the energy production

(08:32):
of the world onto places that truly don't care about
the environment. Like I said before, Russia and China, we
should be burning all the coal that we can find here,
burning all the gas that we can find here, building
all the manufacturing that we can here, because we are
great stewards of the land. We are people who trust
and value science and in the ways that we need
to protect the communities. But America is a shining light

(08:54):
in the world. It's a place where we promote societal value,
where we promote human value. And when we do well,
everyone else does well. And we do environmental protection better
than anybody in the world. And we should be leading
the world in all of the things I just talked about.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Trinity General Juby mccuskey's Here a Day Island show on

every Generation Generations Forward see dealer for details. I have
said this Jabia Ford.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Did you see that they canceled the Ford Lightning did.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I did not know.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
So the electric Ford truck will not be made anymore. Yeah,
it's the weirdest thing that didn't work. Yeah, yeah, you know,
I've ever thought. I was having a conversation not long.
It was a couple of years ago, and it was
not what the folks of generations forward. Okay, I'll say
it was another for another Ford. It was another Ford
dealership and we were doing a little promotion there with them,
and they were talking about the lightning and the guy

(10:00):
with one of the sales managers was telling me that
they had sold one and the guy decided, you know,
the customer decided.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, after like a month or so, he didn't want it,
so he brought it back, as sometimes people will do,
and he was it found out that it depreciated, as
a lot of some vehicles do, appreciated by about fifty
percent the minute he drove it off a lot. Now
I'm not blaming electric vehicles for that. I am just
saying in that particular case, it was a forward lighting.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
And in my particular case, I have a diesel pickup
and you know, rolling dinosaur bones, the depreciation is far less.
People will buy a diesel truck long after they're.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Mate, all right, I want to go back to something
about the environment. I have said this before, and I
come from a coal mining background. People know my family
very invested in the coal industry. I have said before
that coal miners are the ultimate environmentalists. And I had
been on a lot of Reclaimed Mind properties, and I'll

(10:55):
tell you just a quick quick story when I was
when I was in state government, we had a group
of students Harvard. They came down to southern West Virginia.
We took them out on reclaim Mind property and we
were walking around and we didn't tell them it was
reclaim Mint property. We just said, isn't this beautiful? And
they were deer and everything else. That you're standing on
service mining, your former service mining. They couldn't believe it.

(11:16):
I said, it's because you've only listened to one.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Source, that's right.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
So what this is coal miners are the ultimate and
environmental You.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Will very infrequently find a group of people that enjoy
the outdoors more than coal miners, right, And so when
they're not at work, a large portion of them spend
time fishing and hunting and hiking and spending time outside
with their kids.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Because that's part of what West Virginia is.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
And I think it really is inappropriate and unfair for
the left to label those who are trying to do
these incredibly important jobs as you know, those who want
to poison the environment, because it just isn't true. And
you are so right. You can take a helicopter ride
down over any part of the coal fields and the
active mind sight. Sure they look like an active mind sight,

(11:57):
but it's real hard to find the ones that used
to be mined.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Li likened it to walking into an e r in
the middle of an app and decked me, you know,
or is any kind of surgical procedure. Oh yeah, it
looks like it looks really really rough right now, But
come back, you know, come back when it when, when
it's done.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
Speaking of coal mining, what an unbelievable tragedy over the
weekend as well. Prayers for everybody in Nicholas County. And
what a hero, uh, what a hero he was. I mean,
it's hard to imagine being the kind of guy who
gets every single one of your guys out of a
really dangerous situation, to your own peril and to his family.
I just prayers for everybody involved. But the story of

(12:35):
his heroism will live on for it.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
I knew, and I didn't say this on the air,
but I knew. When I found out and it started
get information started getting out of JB that he was
a foreman. I told a couple of people off the air,
let me tell you what happened. And I was one
of the thoughts. I was one hundred percent right. It's
just like a you know, it's just like a high
ranking military official, you know, lieutenant the arm It's that
same it's that same mindset you guys go out first.

(12:58):
I knew immediately what happen up in your You're absolute
right about the what else on your radar?

Speaker 5 (13:02):
These days, Purdue filed for bankruptcy again, Purdue Pharma, as
they continue to try to skirt their obligations in the
opioid world. This this current bankruptcy will not affect West
Virginia settlement, but it is just frustrating to watch these
these these folks do everything in their power to try
to avoid paying for the damages that they cause. You know,

(13:22):
we're working on a couple of new opioid cases with
what are called pharmacy benefit managers who were sort of
the the gray, the gray mattered middlemen who were right
in the middle of the opioid crisis, and we're making
some good progress on those cases. We've just are Our
office is crazy busy getting ready for January. We've got
an argument in front of the United States Supreme Court

(13:44):
on the BPG case, where we're going to defend West
Virginia's common sense law that make sure that children play
sports against kids who have the same biological sex that
they have. We know it's unfair for for boys to
be playing against girls in sports. And I don't know
if you saw this, but the International Olympic Committee just
last week banned biological males from playing in female sports

(14:06):
in the Olympics. And what we're seeing is the world
is starting to understand the insanity that was this sort
of free for all where women's sports was being overrun
by folks who had a different biological sex than the
girls who were playing. And so we're really really excited
about that case. We're really buckling down and for the

(14:27):
next six weeks or so, our office will be very
laser focused on making sure we get that case right
in the most important court in the land.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Any big Thanksgiving plans, Well, we own a store.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
So Thanksgiving is generally me watching my wife stress out
about Black Friday cooking dinner all day.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
So I always do dinner, but we usually keep it
pretty small.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
You do the cooking.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
I do the cooking every night.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
All right, what's on the menu? I mean, So I have.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
A tradition of Thanksgiving tradition.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
My mom died about eleven years ago, and she used
to make this sausage stuffing that I just absolutely loved.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
And she said, I just gained all my weight back
by that's just the best.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
And she sent me the recipe on an email about
I don't know, maybe a year before she died, so
that I could fix it. And every single Thanksgiving, I
opened one of the last emails I got from him
mom and just read it in her voice to myself
and fix the stuffing. Everything else is pretty pretty typical.
But we do, you know, massed potatoes, green beans, always turkey.

(15:23):
Sometimes we throw in some steaks if I have time.
Sausage stuffing, and then my wife loves a sort of
gross green bean cast rule.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
I bean cast rule.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
I can't stand it. I hate mushroom suit, but I
always make it for and she loves it.

Attorney General J. B. Mckesky wanted to make sure that
he got mister Lipskim's his his his aren't his branch
of service?

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Correct?

Speaker 8 (18:42):
It was Marine?

Speaker 3 (18:42):
He's actually was making an analogy saying yes, similar to that.

Speaker 8 (18:47):
I hopefully, hopefully the good nature of it came through,
but I was giving him a hard time.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Rob Reel and don't ever say former marine around Reel.

Speaker 8 (18:55):
No we are, we are. What's a marine? Always a marine?
We are retired marines?

Speaker 3 (18:59):
All right?

Speaker 8 (18:59):
Put out to sure, all right.

is going to join us from the newsroom coming up
a little bit later on. Rob is here. Of course,
we're a couple of days away from Turkey drop here

(19:23):
and it is health day out here. Have you seen
all these folks in white anytime in a radio sea?
As I said, I see people with bringing in file
boxes of files, I think, well, that's it, we're getting
shut down. But then when I see white coats, I think,
oh yeah, we've finally gone too far. They're locking us up.

Speaker 10 (19:38):
Yeah, they're bringing us jackets where the nice, warm, comfy
give you the hug sleeves crossing the front self hugging jackets. Yeah,
so uh yeah, I think they're gonna I think they're
gonna try to take my blood later.

Speaker 8 (19:48):
But you know my blood type is gravy. Yeah, so yeah,
we'll see how that goes.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Speaking of gravy, to keep that up for you, A
couple of days away here from our Turkey drive.

Speaker 10 (19:57):
We are Thursday here at our parking lot at our
Virginia Street East studios. If you're a GPS plugger inner,
it's eleven eleven Virginia Street East. Our third annual drive
through Turkey Drop.

Speaker 8 (20:09):
We have teamed up with.

Speaker 10 (20:10):
Union Mission collecting frozen turkeys and cash and monetary donations.
I'll say it that way, because not only can we
do cash and check, but I just got word that
we will have a QR code set up that you'll
be able to scan and you can safely securely make
a credit card donation or debit card if that's the
way you like to roll financially. But we would love
for you to roll through our parking lot and hand

(20:32):
us a frozen turkey or a monetary donation so that
every family can have a happy holiday meal.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Indeed, I got to get me one of them QR codes. Sometimes,
I'm going to give me a QR code and a
TikTok at one of these points.

Speaker 8 (20:44):
Yeah, I think you would be huge on TikTok.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
They get me huge anyway.

Speaker 10 (20:50):
But no, you were talking with the AG about having
lost some weights, So there you go.

Speaker 8 (20:54):
I would like to try that sausage stuffing. Although I
think I have.

Speaker 10 (20:57):
I think I've probably ruled out any favorable treatment from
the AG's office at this point.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I think that anything that happened in your in your
life probably would have ruled out anyway from hanging out
with the attorneyship. Probably, I'm yeah, I'm not really allowed
to be that close to a lawyer who's not mine,
I don't think. But in all seriousness, I appreciate his
recognition of Marine Steve Lipscomb. Knowing that he put others

(21:25):
ahead of himself is While it is wonderfully admirable, it
is not the least bit surprising.

Speaker 8 (21:32):
Knowing that a marine would.

Speaker 10 (21:33):
Do that, Knowing that a West Virginia, I was going
to say, would do that. It's a wonderful intersection of
West Virginians and Marines that we go literally the extra
mile for our friends and neighbors. And it's been a
particularly tough year for folks in need. I talk about
the stats a lot that one in six folks are

(21:54):
food insecure, one in four children. Those numbers are actually
worse in West Virginia, and you pile the government shut
down on top of that, and it's just it's been
really hard starting this fourth quarter of the year, going
into the holidays, and so if we can make it
just a little bit better with Union Mission, that's our
goal on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
And I think sometimes again we're talking Robberyo from ninety
six to one KWS. I think sometimes people get a
little caught up in the words when they use terms
like food insecure or maybe even a homeless, because I mean,
the definition of homeless doesn't always necessarily mean you don't
have a home or a place to stay. What it

(22:36):
can mean in many cases, and we talk to the
folks at the United Way and Union Mission all these
places about this. It sometimes means that when you wake
up in the morning on one couch, you may not
return to that couch tonight. You're looking for a place
to crash. Under the definition that's technically homeless.

Speaker 10 (22:54):
Yeah, and I don't like to nitpick too much on terminology.
The the preferred these days is displaced persons for that reason,
because somebody may be CouchSurfing, somebody may be living in
a vehicle. Somebody may be doing two weeks at the
sister's house and then they go to the cousin's house

(23:14):
for three weeks. You know, moms with kids. It's not
just the folks you see on the street and under
overpasses and those sorts of things. And they're a great
number of those people who are working, who are working
full time and can't seem to get enough momentum going

(23:35):
to get everything they need for themselves and their families.
And so to be part of helping those folks along,
we could be a great blessing to those folks. And again,
we're going to start things Thursday at seven in the morning,
go to about six o'clock at night.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
We'll all be out there at one point. You'll be
out there for the most part, probably, but you know,
for V. One hundred to beat the Mountain, we're August hs.
We're all going to be floating in and out of there.
So it's opportunity to kind of come hang out with
us a little bit. And we you know, from time
to time may have a random prize that we throw in.

Speaker 10 (24:08):
Yeah we uh, this is this is empty the prize
closet time of year. So there, you know, the Warren
Zeiders is coming in concert on Thursday night.

Speaker 8 (24:17):
I'm not exactly promising tickets, but there might be some
left over. We might have some.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
Hey, I can't go to the show, get my tickets away,
right or you know, the t shirts and koozies and
those sorts of things. And you know, I can't even
speak for the other stations in the building, but they're
probably in a similar situation that you know what, we
we got stuff we need to let go. So a
little extra something something for you for stopping by and
helping our friends and neighbors.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Seven am til six pm and again our parking lot
here and get me, it's not a circle, as you
correct me every time.

Speaker 8 (24:45):
I was married to a math teacher for fifteen years.
It's an ellipse. It's not a circle. It's an ellipse.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Okay, So so basically it's a circle.

Speaker 10 (24:53):
So not for nothing, it is it is married to
a scorpio support day.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
So there there are.

Speaker 10 (25:00):
Two women in this world to whom I owe a
great apology.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Sorry, So you pulled in our parking lot here eleven
eleven Virginia Street, East, charlest Again. We're just up the
street from the Presbyterie Church, Charleston Catholic High School. Yep,
and you pull in and you don't even have to
get out of your car. It's not gonna be there's
a chance of rain on Thursday, but it's not gonna
be like it is today where it's like, it's not
gonna be. It's gonna be a little bit warmer too. Yeah,
that's the thing. So you just pull right up and

(25:25):
our our staff will be out there. We'll have the
folks adjacent and the folks from Union Mission. We'll have
a staff out there as well. We'll be taking those
turkeys or as you said, monetary donations throne. And a
pro tip if you are coming in from uh not down,
if you're not a downtown Charleston person, maybe you're coming
in from the dunbar, don't take the Virginia Street exit
to get to us. Go ahead and swing all the

(25:46):
way around to Leon Sullivan there's a lot of work
on Virginia Street right now, and it's kind of confusing
with the one lane here.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
In the one lane there.

Speaker 10 (25:52):
Leon Sullivan is the cross street, and when you take
it to Virginia, you take a left because that's the
only way you can go one way streets.

Speaker 8 (25:59):
And just in theory, in theory.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I mean, how many times a week do we see
somebody going the wrong way? It's at least twice a week.
I see wrong way on a I walk a lot
in downtown Charleston. At least twice a week. I see
wrong way on a one way daily. I see people
run red lights or the no turn on red signs.
So and yet West Virginia.

Speaker 10 (26:20):
Drivers are some of the best I've encountered over my
many travels.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
So it's bad everywhere I worked.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
I worked in Ohio. I'm fully aware.

Speaker 10 (26:28):
Oh so now do they do They still make you
stop and disengage your turn signals when you cross the border,
when you cross the Silver Memorial Bridge.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yeah, that's good to know.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
They still try not to go that way.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
But so people can drop off cash, we'll have the
QR code that they can scan. Yes, but Turkey's way
to go and we talked about it yesterday. There are
several places as we get closer to Thanksgiving, you know
this will be when we do this will be a
week from Thanksgiving Day, people are starting to mark the
turkeys down. And we've had people that have this is
what I love about these things. Rob when we've done
this or done the other promotions that we do, want

(27:01):
people that will come in and give us five dollars
and just say here, I wanted I heard you guys
on a radio.

Speaker 8 (27:08):
Uh, this is all I could give.

Speaker 11 (27:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Wonderful, wonderful.

Speaker 10 (27:12):
At least at least once every time that we do this,
we get somebody who was like, I just got I
got in the car, I was going to make a
coffee run. I was going to go to you know,
I was going to go to fancy pants coffee and
I heard you guys on the radio, and I was
going to spend this five bucks on that.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
I'd rather spend it on this.

Speaker 10 (27:27):
Yeah, West Virginians caring for West Virginians.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
And then we've had people that have come in with
a truck or something with the boxes of turkeys that
have said, well, I went out to you know, X
store and I just went ahead and picked up ten.
Here you go.

Speaker 10 (27:40):
I somebody last year rolls up in an suv. Yeah,
I got a couple in the back for you. Let
me pop the hatch and the thing swings open. And
I'm not exaggerating twenty.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Five okay, because there was somebody that did that from
Clay County. I remember, Yeah, just selling it like I
got a couple of turkeys and there's two days back there.

Speaker 12 (28:01):
Yea.

Speaker 10 (28:02):
So even just the humble understatement of West Virginians as
we help one another is impressive.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
And I will I will mention that Jason Quintreil is
actually going to be on the show tomorrow because he's
gonna be talking about the drumstick Dash, which is going
to be happening with Tom. Men turn into folks at
Chick fil A. But we'll drag you in here for
that probably.

Speaker 10 (28:19):
And I gotta I gotta give a little love to
Tom and Chick fil A mccorkorl Avenue. They're going to
feed our people tomorrow so that I don't even have
to go anywhere to get some lunch. They're taking care
of our folks. Chick fil A always does a great
job with helping out with these drop events that we.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Do and Tom and the crew frequently. I'm not again,
I'm not going to promise anything like you said with
the Warren Zyder tickets, But in the past we've had
a couple of coupons here and there. We just kind
of choose random people and say, here, go get you
a biscuit.

Speaker 10 (28:47):
He always seems to have a pocket full of those.
Oh yeah, not a pocket full of biscuits.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
By the way, which was a bass player for say
which was the name of one of my bands.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
It was the bass player for Pocket Full of Biscuits.
But we opened for Natasha Bettingfield. You know what, if
you know, you know.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
You know what would be really cool because I know
you're probably gonna be at the Warren Zeider's concert. Maybe
maybe we'll see, We'll see how much gas I have
in the town after being out eleven hours in a
Turkey Say cool, as if we could try to get
Warren Zeyders to stop by.

Speaker 8 (29:14):
Here, I mean from your lips to his managements.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
People ears all right, So I mean I'm just throwing
it out there, if we could, how cool would that
be if we got Warren Zyders, who one of the
top up and coming young country superstars out there. If
we had him stop by the turkey drop, we call.

Speaker 8 (29:30):
Him one of the young guns.

Speaker 10 (29:31):
I mean, I don't know when they're rolling into town.
I don't know at whom to holler. Okay, we might
be able to figure that out between now and.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
You know, I'm sure he would love to meet Rob Reel.

Speaker 10 (29:40):
Yes, champing at the bit for because he'll probably come
in and say, were you the idiot that walked to Morgantown.
I'm just gonna get that put on my business. Guess yes,
I'm the idiot that way.

Speaker 8 (29:49):
I'm the hooligan who walked to Morgantown.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
All right.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
A Dave Island Show on five Eddie Live is Brown
to you, bar By Morgan to Morgan. If you're injured,
hire Morgan to Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. All right,
So let's uh, let's recap seven am six pm on
Thursday the Ellipse as you call it at eleven eleven, Virginia,
Treatse and Charleston.

Speaker 8 (30:08):
That's what a master's degree from. Not get you drive.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Through and uh drop off your turkeys or cash donations.
We'll let you scan one of them. QR codes or
just give us some cash or whatever and uh and
Union Mission will be here. It's gonna be a great time.

Speaker 10 (30:22):
Green's always the right color cash check, credit card, it
will always work, the amazing bulk buying power of Union Mission.
But if you're the kind of person that no, I need,
I need to hand something over, frozen turkey will be perfect.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
It's funny you'd asked me once before about any side
dishes or anything like that. We're I mean, we're not
going to turn anything down. Let's I want to bring
a box of stuffing, but we're really trying to focus
on the turkeys or the cash. But if you if
that's what you show up with, we'll shake it.

Speaker 8 (30:49):
We'll take it. Hey, we're trying. We're trying to keep
it simple.

Speaker 10 (30:52):
Folks have a lot of mind traffic, as one of
my bosses once told me, So we try to give
you one thing on which to focus, and the biggest
need is the frozen turkey. It's the hardest to get
because you know, we take up space, and it's perishable,
and it is the most expensive piece of the meal.

Speaker 8 (31:09):
So that one thing to.

Speaker 10 (31:10):
Focus on is it's easiest for folks to remember you've
got a lot going on. I've got a texture, so
don't forget Elvia's Pocket full of Rainbows from Gi Blues
and also from Jerry.

Speaker 8 (31:20):

my native land in Logan County where there's a possible
closing of an elementary school down there. And we told

(35:44):
you that story in the past, and you know, this
is nothing new when we talk about closing schools, and
this was not necessarily a population issue down there at
the situation had to do with some structural damage to
the school and so and the kids now are going
to have to travel pretty long way to go to school.

Jeff Jenkins joins us now from the newsroom Jeff, Good morning,
and welcome to the show.

Speaker 8 (36:19):
Hey, good morning, how you doing doing fine?

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Health fair day around here. Everybody's just running.

Speaker 16 (36:23):
Around our annual flu shot white coat side.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, yeah, all that. So we've got a serious news
story you want to hit on this morning, Go ahead. Yeah.

Speaker 16 (36:32):
So there was, you know, during drop off today at
Edgewood Elementary School in the Edroid neighborhood of Charleston, there
was a young personal child that was struck by vehicle.
We'll be getting more information, i'm sure from city police,
but the initial reports is that the student, the child

(36:55):
suffered a head injury there. So, just like it aw schools,
there's a lot of traffic. You know, there's there's crossing
guards who do a great job, but you know, there's
a lot of back and forth there. So we don't
know all the circumstances of that, but we we do
know that that happened this morning right in front of
the school here in Charleston. The other thing we're working

(37:16):
on is some pretty positive economic news that came from Toyota.
Toyota has announced today a major expansion of its plants
in the US, including the Toyota plant in Buffalo. They're
going to add eighty jobs there and the production of

(37:39):
this particular expansion is going to be finished by twenty
twenty seven. But they say it's it's it's because there
are additional there's additional consumers want hybrid vehicles, you know,
and so you know that's what's happening there because they
make transactionals there. They make the transmissions, you know, the

(38:03):
things for the for the rear of the transmission or
so they're going to invest more than four hundred million dollars.
So more than half or nearly half of the overall
investment that Toyota is going to make nine hundred and
twelve million dollars is going to be at the Buffalo plant,
and I think it's about four hundred and twenty three
million dollars at the Buffalo plant. So you're talking a

(38:25):
large expansion, eighty jobs, and of course all the automation
that goes with that. So that's positive news. They released
that information yesterday to the medium, and we held it
until they were ready to They had it embargoed at
toil eight o'clock this morning. But they have other plants Kentucky.
I think Georgetown is Mississippi, Tennessee. But again the Buffalo

(38:47):
plants getting the largest investment on that. And we'll hear
more about that coming up with the Western Toyo West
Virginia president is going to be on talk line, right. Yeah,
so that's positive news. It's eighty good jobs.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah. And I'll say this about Toyota is somebody who
you know has I've lived in Putnam County now for
the last eleven years. You couldn't ask for a better
community partner. I mean, anything that's going on in Putnam
County really in this part of the state, Toyota's got
their name on, you know. And I don't mean it
for advertising purposes. I mean they're just saying, you know,

(39:17):
whether it's in the schools or so on and so forth,
they're just stuff. They're very good community partners and have
been ever since they opened.

Speaker 16 (39:23):
And Carol Miller, the congress woman, made a note in
her statement today reacting to this that you know, and
we did this story a few weeks ago, I probably
a couple of months ago. Now that they're building their
own childcare center there. You know, they're building a thing
for their workers. You know that there'll be a full
childcare center on the campus in Buffalo and you know,

(39:46):
to try to meet the needs of the workers. And
of course new Core is doing that too. There'll be
a full childcare center at the new Course site not
far from there in Mason County where their new plan
is going up. So yeah, that's good news anytime Toyotry
adds and we've cut a lot of I tell you what,
there have been more stories about Toyota adding jobs than
there ever been about them cutting jobs.

Speaker 8 (40:07):
There.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (40:08):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (40:08):
The one time that they struggled is when everyone else struggling,
and that was doing COVID. But they they did just
about everything they could do, you know, to keep everybody
on and keep everybody working, and they came up with
they came up with some pretty creative ways to be
able to do that, and they were able to so
all right, they have it all right.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Well again, And if you if you've attempted to access
certain websites today and even some social media sites, there
is a like a nationwide there is outage uh and
it's affecting I know, metronews dot com uh and UH

other sites as well. And oddly enough, as a friend
of mine pointed out. The site that you can use

(40:45):
to track these is also down. You can't think of
what it's called right now, but I'm sure Ryan knows

show that everyone's talking about. I'm calling bull on that
the internet is talking about Donald Trump and his relations
with Bubba Who is Bubba?

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Bill Clinton is jiling Maxwell's horse. Internet is talking about it, Dave,
So you're going to talk about it on the show.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Right.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
That's about close that I'm going to get right there
because it's a family show. And I joked last week
about the FCC being out with the government shutdown. Well
they got catch it up to do, so they're listening
to the show again. Texa's highest rates of colon cancer
among young people ever. But yes, let's remove regulations and
rely on the honesty, moral and ethics of corporations. JB

(47:02):
is helping to poison the future of America. I had
Danny Jones on the show yesterday, and his book is out,
and he was on the show yesterday talking about it.
I started reading it last night and I got to
say a little plug for Danny's book here. It's pretty good.
I'm up to the Mike rourkeiars now. I had to

(47:24):
put it down though, because I had an appointment to
watch the Cowboys be Down the Raiders last night. So
I would urge you to get yourself a copy. They're
available at Taylor Books.

Speaker 11 (47:33):
Now.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Danny's going to be doing a book signing down there
Saturday afternoon at two o'clock. It is a good book,
so definitely go get it. Uh Texas, Dave, this major
internet outage smells of a cyber attack. Hopefully it's assumed
to be to ruled out. Meantime, my VHS copy of

(47:53):
the movie Red Dawn still rewinds perfectly, said the texture. Indeed,
I am sure it it does. Tex says Jamie McCuskey
has helped so much propaganda, but I don't think he
knows where he begins and it ends.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
That's a text.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Text, says Dave. I will not let the Republicans forget.
When Rockefeller opened a West Virginia office in Japan and
brought Toyota to our state, Republicans criticized him and said
Japan was going to take all that money back home.
And they didn't pick and they didn't take people's paychecks.
They stayed here. Green hybrid, green jobs are coming here,
says I remember, years and years and years ago. My

(48:35):
wife and I were just talking about this.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
The other day.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
We were at a at a function with some neighbors
and there was an elderly gentleman there and we were
talking about the vehicles I'm talking about. This was like
the early nineties and something was said about Toyota. This
gentleman was a decorator World War Two veterans, so I
have all of the respect in the world for him.
But he said at that point something and a lot
of older people had that mindset, and he said, I

(48:58):
can tell you I'll never drive in and it may
not even a bit about Toyota. Maybe it was another
uh Japanese manufacturer, but he made the comment, I'll tell
you I'll never own a Toyota because of Pearl Harbor.
And again that's that was a very common thought process
back then. But I will tell you that more of
Toyota is seen to be made in America, at least

(49:20):
a great great part of them. Well then what some
American vehicles are So just throwing that out there. Oh
so we may see later today whether the Epstein files
will be released or not. President Trump announcing Sunday night
that he's all for releasing the files. So we shall see.
Said it before. In today's society, I feel that most

(49:43):
people don't necessarily want to see justice done. They just
want to play gotcha with the other side, and the
left is all about we got to release these files.
We gotta nail Trump on this, and the rights are
we gotta, we gotta go after you know whomever that
they think maybe on that. And I think, as I
said before, I basis on nothing but some reading that
I've done. I think if, if, and when it all

(50:06):
does come out, I think there's going to be an
equal number of left and right on the on the
Epstein files. Whether President Trump is on it, I don't
know whether you know any of these A lists, Hollywood celebrities,
Bill Clinton, we already know that. You know, the former
Prince the artist formerly known as Prince Uh. You know,
I was going to make that joke. May may be
on it. I don't know, but that that's just where
we are now as a society. We're not necessarily interested

(50:29):
in in the white right or wrong. We just want
to be able to try to play gotcha with the others.
I mean, we see it when there's a school shooting,
we see it when there's some kind of a mass shooting.
First thing we want to do is we want to
find out what was his or her political ideology, And
usually it's a mixture of everything. That's kind of what
it is evil is it's on ideology. Last I checked,
y let's not checked. Yeah, Larry Summers got nailed. You see,

(50:50):
he was on last night. All the articles came out
about his step back, and so now he's got to
do you know, and and he should. That's TJ. Meadows
by the way. Oh hey, good morning, Thank for having me.
I just jump right in. I don't care.

Speaker 12 (51:02):
Uh so, Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of people
release the finals. I mean, Trump could release. He doesn't
need a vote to do that, by the way, could
do that right now of his own accord. But let's
have the vote. Trump is losing his grip on the
Republican Party with this, he really is. I mean, this
is a guy that ruled with an iron fist. People

(51:23):
in the Republican Party were scared to push back this one.
No pun intended. Trump's everything, and he has lost that ability.
I mean, he thought he could walk MTG back, He
thought he could walk Lauren Bobert back.

Speaker 11 (51:35):
Uh uh.

Speaker 12 (51:35):
The floodgates are open on this thing. So yeah, get
it out there, I was.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Gonna say, and him getting out ahead of it on
Sunday night, I mean, I'll somebody texted one of the
shows and said that they thought Trump was a genius
for getting out ahead of this, really getting out ahead. Yeah,
so I'm just saying Tex says. Even Stephen A. Smith
said on his show that Biden's FBI and Department of
Justice had four freaking years and they never did the

(51:59):
thing about it. Democrats didn't say a word to that.

Speaker 12 (52:01):
You would say, I don't have the time. Just get
the files out, Get the files out, all right?

Speaker 3 (52:08):
