From the strip to mainstream.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We're keeping it real for hard working Americans.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
This is Talk with a Conservative, Open conversation, with intelligent explanation.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Las Vegas and Nevada, let's talk. Welcome to talk with
a Conservative. I'm Garland Brinkley, actually doctor Brinkley, who ran
for a semi District one in twenty twenty two and
again in twenty twenty four. I don't learn fast. I'm

(00:42):
a retired university professor.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
And I'm Patricia Brinkley, candidate for a Senate District one
in North Las Vegas and an attorney at law. And
welcome to talk with a Conservative.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Tonight. We're joined by three special guests, Rob Mney, Eva
Landau and Bob Osen.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
And these three candidates are running for office with the
Clark County Republican Central Committee, and we will tell you
which office they're running for when we introduce them. And
so the call in number this evening. Please call in
seven zero two two two one seven two eight three

(01:24):
and if you cannot call in, you can email us
at TWAC Radio Show at gmail dot com. So let's
get started.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
We'd like to.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Welcome our guest, Rob Meenie. He's running for a vice
chair of the Clark County Republican Central Committee.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Welcome Rob, Thank you, Patricia. It's good to be here
at There's a been a lot of days we couldn't
go on the radio and talk with any conservatives anywhere, right,
so this is a real refreshing change.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
And so can you just tell our audience briefly, just
give them a little bit about your background.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Sure, I grew up in politics. My family was involved,
and actually my wife and I met through politics. So
for all of our lives, really we've been deeply involved.
I worked with the county and state parties in Indiana,
you know, back when I was a little bit younger.
They were the best, the best such parties in the

(02:27):
country at the time, frankly, and I learned a lot
about how a good county or state party works. I
spent time at the Republican National Committee during the Reagan administration.
H I worked with a number of corporations in public
affairs capacities. I've run everything from annual shorholder meetings to
you know, being partially responsible at the RNC, and I

(02:49):
just feel like it's a background that's helped me put
me in a position where I could help the c CRP.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Okay, don't forget listeners out there. Our numbers have two
two two one seven two eighty three. This is your chance.
We've seen lots of emails and postings on Facebook. This
is your chance to actually ask these people questions. Okay, Bob,
you've read the current by laws of the CCRCC Yes,

(03:17):
would it be correct to state that the duties and
requirements as stated in the current bylaws detail the parameters
of what the vice chair officers does?

Speaker 4 (03:26):
I think so, yeah, I think that is fair and
I think generally speaking, the CCRP vice chair does the
heavy lifting, if you will, in terms of arrangements and details.
The VC is the person that keeps the trains running
on time, if you will, plans and manages meetings, conventions,
takes care of information, the resource of the party, and

(03:50):
things of that nature. And more importantly, I support the
chair in everything that I'll say she because that's my
hope and expectation, but everything that she.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Does, so I think that what you just describe was
the cheap operations officers duties for the Central Committee is
that it is.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, it's the most important part of it. I think
for a number of years now, the CCRP has been
characterized we'll just we'll say, by some dysfunction. There's a
lot of ill will. I think it's unfortunate. It doesn't
help anybody. It also suggests that there are some reasons
behind it. Our goal is to put together the kind
of leadership where people trust us. They know that we're

(04:31):
going to operate according to the rules. They know everyone
is welcome, and they don't have to wonder whether there's
some hidden agenda. And that largely falls on the vice chair.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, just as one out there knows CCRCC is Clark
County Republican Central Committee. I want to make sure everyone's
clear with that. And so this is actually the elections
coming up, and we have a group of new officers
who will be electing, and.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
The election is just fifteenth next Tuesday, July fifteenth.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yes, be there or b square, even if you're not
a voting member, do come.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
You know, I think it's important that people get involved
in politics. And I always wonder why people who aren't
interested aren't because it controls everything we care about. But
we would really encourage people to look at getting involved
in the CCRP as a way to help move the
state in the county the direction that they'd like to
see us go.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well, since you said that it's important to try to
get new membership, but I'll have to say that people
in North Las Vegas, they really don't know that this
organization exists. So how are we going to go about
trying to educate the community that they should become members
of the CCRCC Well.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
To some extent, I look at the CCRP as something
of a rebuild. It's kind of a reboot, if you will.
I don't want to be overly critical of anyone, but
our distinctions that I think we need to bring up.
For this past several years, the county party has not
done the kind of general housekeeping and again blocking tackling
things you do to build a good party. They've not

(06:13):
raised money, they've not provided assistance to campaigns, They've made
decisions that they didn't tell the membership about, and in fundraising,
it's been so bad that right now the address for
the county headquarters on the website is a ups store.
We don't even have a headquarters because the current chair
fell so far behind in rent we had to be

(06:35):
moved out. That's not good enough. We can do better.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Okay Again, the call in number is seven O two
two two one seven two eighty three. You can also
email questions at TWAC Radio Show at gmail dot com.
There's more than one way to skin a rob.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
To ask all, there's no skinning going on here.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Got my eye on the door.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Okay, but Rob, can you just briefly tell us how
your past experience is going to correlate to the duties
of the vice chair.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Absolutely. I think it's a question of length, amount of experience,
and where that experience was derived. Because I worked in
Republican politics at the federal and state level. I've worked
in more than thirty states at one point or another,
in some cases with cabinet officials, with governors, with senators,
with county party organizations, and I've learned what makes them work.

(07:38):
And there's a lot of good people. I mean, I
think it's fair to say this to me. This isn't personal.
My opponent, as far as I can tell, is a
nice guy. I just don't believe that he has experienced
the things that equip him to build the kind of
party organization we need to. When you've helped other people succeed,
you remember what works. But if the only county you've

(07:58):
had much involvement with is Garon Clark, you really haven't
had that opportunity.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
So we look to.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Bring that kind of foresight and planning to Clark Campon.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Working in thirty state, that sounds like you can't hold
a job.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Well, it was a few jobs, but traveling. I would
say it was moving around a lot, all within one
job or a couple.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Okay, since we don't have an office right now, will
you be scouting or are you currently scouting office space?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
We put a lot of work into getting ready to
take office, if you will, and I don't like to
sound arrogant, you know that we're assuming we're going to win.
I feel very good about next week's election, but under
the leadership of our candidates, in particular Jill Douglas running
for chair, we've put a lot of effort into putting
plans together. So I think it's fair to say that

(08:49):
we can hit our ground running in July if we win.
On July fifteenth. We get to work on July fifteenth,
and we do have a lot of specific ideas.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
I just wants to know that Jill Douglas did appear
on our show. I believe she was episode six or
episode eight, But they're all listed on Spotify, iHeartRadio and
now on Apple Podcasts, so you can go back to
any of our previous episodes and listen to them. And
the call in number again is seven zero two two

(09:20):
two one seven two eight, so.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Also you can do Twitter get us that way. At
t Wack Radio show.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
When I was reviewing the bylaws, I noticed that it
said that another duty of the vice chair is to
act as the custodian of all physical and intellectual property
of the c c r CC. What are some of
the physical and intellectual properties of the c c r
c C.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Well, we have records that involve political efforts or political programs,
as well as fundraising and budgeting items, and we have
a lot of things that have been developed for the CCRP.
There have been themes and brands and things of that
nature that fall under the intellectual property category. But somebody

(10:13):
has to take care of the business that has been
conducted and that kind of falls to me if I'm elected.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay. Also, there's a many people that you have to appoint,
and it's like sergeant at armshers, tellers and doorkeepers. Do
you have people in mind for that?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
I do, Yes. I've talked to a number of people
just kind of saying, look, in the event that we're successful,
what would be your level of interest in a particular position.
And I've been really encouraged. A lot of the positions
currently are unfilled, and I think we can fix that.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
You're listening to talk with a conservative.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Get ready, football bads. The Los Angeles Rams are back
at They're hungrier than ever in the City of Angels,
where stars shine bright. A new chapter on holds a
little gridired. Buckle up because the Rabs are about to
electrify the NFL. All Los Angeles Rams games can be
heard right here on kshb ay and fourteen hundred and

(11:31):
one of those seven points one FL Los Angeles Rams
Football sponsored by Steiner's Berg, a true Nevada style pub.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Las Vegas, Nevada. It's time for straight talk and real solution.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
We're breaking down the issues that matter to you with
no span, just the truth.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
From the strip to mainstream.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
We're keeping it real for hard working Americans.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
This is Talk with a Conservative, Open conversation, with intelligent explanation.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Las Vegas and Nevada. Let's talk, Okay, welcome back to
Talk with a Conservative. Our call in number seven oh.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Two two two one seven two eight.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Three or TWAC radio show at gmail dot com or
x at ampersan Twack radio show, so any of those
ways you can get in touch with us and ask questions. Here,
I do want to remind everyone about our Conservative town
hall of North Las Vegas. It's the first Tuesday of
every month and the next one is August seventh, and

(12:43):
we have Cody Whipple who's a candidate for CD four.
And just so everyone knows, this a no host lunch
and if you try and sneak out without paying, we
know who you are because we take photographs of where
everyone is, just so you know.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh, anyway, we had a great meeting last Thursday, and
our guest this evening, we're also at the meeting on
Thursday and they talk to our group. So I just
want to thank you again for attending our town hall
last week. Our pleasure, so and conclusion for Rob, I
just wanted to know, why don't you tell our audience.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Why they should vote for you?

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Well, thank you. I think there's two things that I
would ask people to keep in mind. One is that
as Republicans, we've had some good news in the past year.
As everybody knows, we are all supporters of President Trump.
He's doing amazing things. I think he's energized the party,
and the Democrat Party by comparison, looks like they're just
wandering kind of in the wilderness. I don't know what

(13:48):
to do. We can celebrate all that, but there's always
an next election, and what I would suggest is that
it's time for us to look right now at twenty
six and twenty eight in the election is coming up.
We can put together here in Clark County the foundation
for a successful party that allows us to do in

(14:08):
Nevada that President Trump has done for the nation. But
it isn't when it just happened. There's an old phrase
you've heard that insanity is doing the same thing and
expecting different results. The people in charge right now have
not provided help to damn ballot races. They've not raised money,
they've not done a lot of the things that will
help build their strength long term, and I think it's

(14:29):
time for us to take control of that and to
make sure that the party next election is stronger than
the one today.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
And we have a caller. Hello, caller, who am I
speaking with?

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Frank?

Speaker 7 (14:42):
Friends?

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Oh, good evening, Frank, how are you? And well? Thank you?
What is your question?

Speaker 8 (14:51):
So?

Speaker 7 (14:52):
Last time, you guys keep talking about, you know, making money,
raising money, and you guys ran scam Brown who lost
by the ex the act amount of votes of independence
that didn't vote for him. What is the Republican Party
going to do to get more independence over here instead
of just riding the Trump train? What are we going
to do to get independent voters to understand that our

(15:15):
ideas are better, our policies are better.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
May I just inter Jack before Rob answered that question? Unfortunately,
Frank Sam Brown was on the federal tickets, so he
was not part of our Clark County Republican candidates. Those
are the local community candidates that we're talking about, so
that was not in our necessarily under our purview, But

(15:42):
I will allow Rob to answer that.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Ques that's all very trigue, But Frank, I think it's
a great question. And you're you either watch politics closely
or just smart enough to figure out how important that is.
We need to grow by reaching out to people that
don't necessarily think of themselves as Republicans. A lot of
those people Independence, the Independent America Party has a lot
of people that tend to like our values but don't

(16:06):
necessarily vote for us. There are a lot of people
in some of the other third parties, and we find
if you look at election results, we tend to do
better among Democrats than Democrats do among Republicans. But we
need to figure out how to not just sit in
our hands. We need to look at different groups that
are not typical. We see younger Americans right now are
the largest growing conservative group. We've seen support from Hispanic

(16:30):
and Black Americans at record levels for this president. He
is doing something right. We could do a lot worse
than to look at the example that he has set.
But you're one hundred percent right. We are not going
to grow into what we need to be if we
don't look to some of those other voters.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And thank you Frank for your question, and so Rob
thirty seconds, well, did you was there anything else that
you wanted the voters in the wall Belchie.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Well, again, I come to this as somebody who has
a lifelong interest in lifelong experience. I know how to
help candy parties win. I know it held the health
candidates and it's been frustrating seeing what we fail to
do as a party. And along with the other people
on the slate that I'm part of, I think we
can make a real difference and I'd be honored to.

Speaker 9 (17:18):
Have that chance.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
And so thank you Rob Minie for joining us this evening.
And our next candidate is Ava Sarah Landeu and she
is running for political director. Welcome Ava, Oh my god,
thank you very much.

Speaker 10 (17:34):
I'm excited to be hearing your radio to have a
communication with all your audience. This is amazing and I
don't have words to congratulate guys. You're making an amazing job.

Speaker 11 (17:46):
Like a wow.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
For you, and thank you for joining us this evening.
And like I said before, you were at our town
hall and you spoke to our group and tell the
audience what you felt about the energy at the town hall.

Speaker 10 (18:03):
Well, that is something that actually you are the ones
who put all the energy over there for the people.
You know, the energy, the courage, even the fear is contagious,
and you contach is your energy to your people, and
it's that big that now that is orders Tomhole and
other people making and trying to do what you been

(18:24):
doing for a long time since I actually came to
to Nevada, I believe, and the.

Speaker 11 (18:30):
Good things you have to copy.

Speaker 10 (18:31):
Probably they will never gonna be like you, because nobody
can be like you. I got a friend who say
they can be better, but never like me, you know,
And that is something that we have to recognize our community.
For you guys, you are amazing, You are inspired people.
And yes, thank you very much for actually invitation and
the last come hal meeting because I have the opportunity
to talk about my candidacy too over there, thank you.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yes, yeah, And actually with our town hall that we've
been doing for two years now and it's coming up
Gust seventh. But besides that, we've spawned or three others
have it exist now followed our lead, so we're actually
spreading the word through our Clark.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Counties love it and the word is that each community
should have their own little town hall and that way
the candidates have opportunity to really speak directly to their community.

Speaker 10 (19:23):
Well, since now I want to compromise to you guys,
once I get a leg and July fifteen, I want
you to buy me every month for five minutes to tell.

Speaker 11 (19:34):
You what our progress is.

Speaker 10 (19:37):
Because if we're not progressing, if we're not doing the
job good, we need a referendum to say, hey, you
know what, you're not coming next year. Here, you gotta
go home. Let's find somebody else. I believe that's going
to be a good thing. But because if we're not
giving results, consequence has to be there. And I hope
you guys in buy me a list every every month
five minute to say, Okay, these are the numbers, this

(19:58):
is the things we've been doing, and I'm going to
be more than happy to do because our action has
to get consequence for good or for bad back consequence.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
You know, Garland and I were just talking about that
this morning. We said, after this election, we're going to
reach out and allow someone from the CC or CC
to come on our show and hell, first of all,
inform the community about the organization, try to get new
membership and what they are doing.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
That you are reading our.

Speaker 10 (20:23):
Minds because we understand and said we love so much
Clark County. We love our county, so lout is obviously
we're thinking the same way, you know, because we really
genuinely love these people. We love our Republican Party and
we want the best.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Oh, we have another caller. Hello caller, and.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
You are.

Speaker 9 (20:46):
This is John and Anderson. How you doing, Patricia and Garland?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
We're doing well, John, Thank you and John? What is
your question?

Speaker 9 (20:55):
My question is Rob has been, you know, a gracious person.
Every time I've been to CCRP meetings. He seeks out
to talk to people. He doesn't fight in the quarter,
you know, And I like that about Rob. You know,
he's very approachable and you you know, you address a
lot of concerns. You know, Rob works with kids too, right, Rob,
you work at and you know communication with kids at

(21:18):
on what grade level? But I think that's very very admirable.
But also it speaks to what you I think you
could do for the party. The party lacks communication right now, uh,
in open dialogue. But the one thing that I've been
perplexed about is all this acquisitions of Rob and how

(21:38):
he's been involved with DEI in some form and skeetting
I think kind of ads. I like to have Rob
address that, you know, if he had any input in
that course. And I know when you work for a
corporation or a company, and you do hr you don't
have any choice but to follow the guidelines, right, But

(21:59):
like to hear your viewpoint on DEI and whether or
not you had any way and how DEI was implemented,
and then how you would go about bringing the party together.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
And thank you John for your call.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah, and thank you for the question. There is a
rumor and meal going around out there saying that I
was a big advocate of DEI, and the quick answer
is it simply isn't true. I think it's possible that
some of this is just not well intentioned. I think
some of it's actually misinformed. But about twenty years ago,
in corporate positions with companies like US Food Service and

(22:38):
our Jaredibisco, I worked on diversifying our vendors. Okay, so
we would go to people that we do business with
and we say we want to get more Mama Pop operations,
some smaller companies. You know, if Kraft wants to do
business with you, they've got one hundred people to help
do that. What we're trying to do is reach smaller businesses.
And that was proposed as a diverse cation of our

(23:00):
supplier base. And now people look back and say, oh,
well that was DEI and it just isn't true. THEI
to me, equity is the core of that and equity
is the opposite of equal opportunity, and that's where we stand.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Thank you, Rob so Eva.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Part of the duties of the political director is to
recruit candidates, and I would like to know how are
you going to go about to recruit candidates in North
Las Vegas? Because North Las Vegas has been basically deserted
abandoned for so long. How are you going to go
about trying to recruit Republican candidates up in North Las Vegas.

Speaker 10 (23:39):
First of all, this is like a medicine. Pretend that
we are doctors here. If North Las Vegas has know
so many people who is registered as are Republican, that's
going to be a big issue. Even if we have
the best candidate, we need to start registering people in
North Las Vegas. You know, the main job for a

(24:01):
consultant or political director is like the terminate with marketing,
because political is self so I take all this as
a marketing as a selling right. So for example, there
is places like nor Las Vegas, then we have a
low quantity of people that is registered as a Republican.
We have to push all our machinery from the CCRP

(24:23):
to warry the registration over there. Then there is another
places and I was talking before with you and mister
I don't remember his name, Gibbs. Mister Gibbs, Yeah, I
remember we was talking and what he said when I
said exactly what I'm gonna say to you, he said,
after ten years is the first time I heard somebody
who really knows what.

Speaker 11 (24:42):
Should do my boat for you.

Speaker 10 (24:43):
I was, Oh, I got and I even cry because
I didn't know how amazing he was. You was over there,
You was my witnesses we was before, and one more
person I don't remember who was. So the thing is like,
that's what we have first first of all to the
terminate who want to be the candidate. And we cannot
just push a candidate, even if it's the best to
jump in an empty pool. We have first to do
the market in there. We have to work in that area,

(25:06):
and then it probably will not be in next months
the candidate, but probably in two years. We already have
the lens ready for him to run and win, because
we don't want to waste money time results for candidates.
They have to keep on the right moments to spend
all the passions, all the powers and all the energy
when it's the right time. We need to register more
people in nor Las Vegas and push the best candidate there.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Okay, but the thing is that we've heard that sub
candidates want to make sure that there is a Republican
candidate in all races.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Now if we don't recruit in.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
North Flas Vegas because the registration is too low to
try to find the right person or persons to okay.

Speaker 10 (25:46):
That is always that is great candidates for nor Las Vegas.
The lens is not ready yet. We need to war
in that. We need to we need to do some
chemotherapy if you want to put in that ways in
medical words. We need to fix that, you know, in
order to all great candidates run and win, because we
don't want to lose. We want to win, right, so

(26:07):
in order to win, we need more people registered. So
or rests CCRP. We have to determine it. Where do
we need more registration, where we need a double campaign
campaign and registration, and where we only need to campaign. Right, So,
I believe nor Las Vegas has a lot of potentials
has a lot of great people and more and more
because I work for as a political director for President
Trump for the Hispanic and over there is a big

(26:29):
Hispanic community and we did it. We did it, So
I'm super positive that we can make it. Probably will
not be tomorrow, but eventually we're winning nor Las Vegas
with the same passion that we were for President Trump.
Is the same thing that we have to do the same,
same thing, same thing with same energy. We have to
be there, we have to be there, we have to
kind of be there. We have to put our tender,

(26:50):
we have to work day by day there and I'm
ready to do it.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
And I don't know whether you realize this or not,
but Garland ran for eighty one last cycle, and that
the incumbent, who is a Democrat, is not gonna run again.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
So that's gonna be an open sea.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
She's gonna be running for mayor, and so we have
other uh uh. The mayor's race is a nonpartisan race. However,
there will be council people running as well, so there's
a lot of candidate sometimes to be recruited.

Speaker 10 (27:21):
For northwilk Yes, but this is some time we lose
because our consultants they just want some time money, so
they say, yo, yes, do it because they get.

Speaker 11 (27:31):
They're getting the money.

and amputate an arm without trying to fix the problem.

with the right people.

And so before we leave, introduce our next candidate. I
just want a they have a few at a minute
or so minute and a half to tell our audience
why they should vote for you for political director.

Speaker 10 (31:08):
Well, I believe I'm the most qualified right now for
the position for a political director. I have the experience,
everybody knows me and thanks to the hard job we
did with you guys, because you was part of the team.
I've been invite to a White House twice, I've been
INVI twice to mar Lago because we show results and
that's what exactly we want to do with with with

(31:33):
my job over there right like, keep working, keep pushing
the best people to run that it is people who
is know they don't want to, they feel like they
may be shoulding run. But we as a director, we
as a consultant, we know when the people has that
that things that we need in order to change counties

(31:54):
and districts and prisons. And yes, we have to keep
working and doing exactly the same we home.

Speaker 11 (32:01):
We did.

Speaker 10 (32:02):
If you put that by numbers, we did two hundred
thousand contacts in five months. You know, I trained two
hundred captains leaders to go and knockdoors.

Speaker 11 (32:13):
I we made.

Speaker 10 (32:15):
Thirteen thousand postcards for new residents. We register every day
they come our team with new registration, new registration, new registration.
And that's the things we have to do, and of
course do that.

Speaker 11 (32:28):
It's very a lot of.

Speaker 10 (32:29):
Things and we have to do not only about what
I'm talking right now, but we have to determinate too
what is the areas that we need to work reinforced
with registration. Where do we have to campaign and do
registration and where we only have to campaign in order
to save rastlors and put the rastlers Exactly what do
we need? Somebody asked me about who is as hitting

(32:51):
a message about who was the guy who was talking
the gentleman he presents, he introduced to me like like
a former chairman from Clark County, mister Steve Gibbs. Gibbs,
mister gibb is the one who said like he never
hear in ten years somebody who really knows what to do.
And I'm so glad when he said that, because that

(33:13):
mean a lot.

Speaker 11 (33:14):
That's mean a lot. And thank you very much for
the invitation. Thank you, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
And now we like to introduce our last candidate for
the evening, and this is Bob Olsen. Bob is running
for Chair of the Central Committee Republican, the Clark County
Republican Central Committee and Bob ran for eighty seventeen in
the last election. So welcome Bob. How are you good?

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Thank you very much for having me, and I appreciate
the opportunity.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
So, Bob, have you read the bilaws about what the
chair is supposed to do?

Speaker 5 (33:49):
Yeah, I've read the bylaws.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
So right now, would you say that, if you're elected,
would you a man revise or revoke any of those bylaws?

Speaker 5 (34:00):
Well, the first thing that we have to do the
by laws are there and they're a frame for us
to work on, but it's going to take anywhere from
six months to a year to get the buy laws
changed completely. And if we're going to do that, we
have to include all the members of Clark County Republican
Party having him in there, so we have to have

(34:21):
a committee, and I know that wind Clark County has
got a committee up there. If I'm elected chair, I
will invite that any committee that's in there to come
join us there. And the by laws is one of
the ones we're going to have to work on and
they need to be changed, they need to be updated.
We have to basically look at how we operate. Those

(34:41):
by laws are going to hold us responsible. And I
think that's the thing for the vice as well. He's
whoever the vice is going to be, is going to
have an important part. The political officer as well. Everybody
that sits on the executive board is going to have
an input as well as the members that we represent.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Considering your previous work and work experience as that prepared
you to be for the position of chair of the CCRCC.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
It has at one time I first got here, I
took a job at the VA and about two thousand. God,
it's spent a long time, I think, yes, man, it's
about twenty seventeen. Actually I went to work there. I
joined the union and I was the shop steward. I
represented about one hundred and fifty people we had in

(35:27):
a department there, radiology, and I started there and then
I ended up being asked to become the chairman for
the AFG Local twelve twenty four, and I learned a
lot there. It's when I took over, we were at
a point about honestly somewhere between twelve hundred and fifteen
hundred members, and when I finally left and retired totally,

(35:50):
we were over three thousand members. The main thing is
you could never tell my politics. It was very much
taking care of the people, doing what they needed. Along
with that, I've run organizations. I'm very qualified to run
organizations because I've been vice president president of associations up
in Alaska, Tennessee, places like that where I've lived, and

(36:10):
I've continued to work that way.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
And so can you just give us a little bit
more about your experience as far as it pertains to
be the chair of the Central Committee.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
With me, I have a unique personality. People look first
look at me and they don't understand where I'm coming from.
Most of the time, I've been involved ever since I
could vote in California with the Republican Party there. In fact,
Richard Nixon was the first person I voted for.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Oh you're going back away.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
Yeah I am. And my governor at the time was
Ronald Reagan. And of course I had the opportunity to work.
As a high school student, I was very much interested
in political science and things like that. You know, as
I went through my life, I've continued to stay Republican.
I can't do a Democrat. I just really can't do it.

(37:07):
My grandparents were Democrats, and I got to see that firsthand,
how messed up they were, because they're in Minnesota and
you know what's up there. But again, as I went
through my life in the military, you try to stay
out of politics. Well, once you get out, you know,
you get involved. You meet people, You talk to a
lot of different people there. Professors will influence you, and

(37:30):
you form your own ideas and you and I've got
a worldview, I don't have a a youew just very limited.
In the States. I grew up around the world. My
dad spent thirty three years in the military. I spent
twenty three. So wherever my two feet were, that's where
I was at.

Speaker 11 (37:46):
That's home.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Okay again, if you have questions, call in at seven
oh two two two one seven two eight three. We'll
get to them. If you call in now and stay
on the phone if you can make it through. You
can also email us a question at Twackradio Show at
gmail dot com and if we don't get to it tonight,

(38:08):
we'll do it next week. Or you can with X
on Twitter x Twitter at Twackradio Show. You can get
us that way. We encherge you to call in and
talk to the people here so everyone knows. We've invited
all candidates running for the CCR Executive Committee, all the

(38:31):
positions to be both at our town hall, and many
came and spoke, and the three people speaking tonight all came,
and also we invited them all to the radio show here.
So if you don't hear anyone here, oh I guess
I'm misspeaking.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
What happened was that I put out a general notice
to the candidates if they wanted to appear on the
radio show to contact does and so these three and
the two next week.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Contact the best.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
So other people were not interested in appearing on the
show or I don't know, they had other plans, but
we had five people so far.

Speaker 11 (39:08):
I taken their meanings. I'm a take her. I come
to America to rock.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
And now that Eva has interjected herself back to the conversation,
there was one question I wanted to ask you, and
have you ever compiled and analyzed data pretending to voter
registration and voter turnout?

Speaker 9 (39:33):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Okay, I did that.

Speaker 10 (39:34):
Yeah, I always do it, and I'm and actually that's
my main things right because uh, if we don't have
the data, then why are we doing this?

Speaker 11 (39:43):
Right? We really need numbers.

Speaker 10 (39:45):
Probably Bob know more about me, because a long time
ago he came to me too, he said, Eva, may
I do this? And I said, well, I've been analyzing
your your your numbers, and they're not really in favor
of you. But that means that you cannot do it.
We have to work harder, you know, so, and I'm
very transparent with that. It's exactly what I was saying before.

(40:06):
We need to see the numbers we need if we
are uh one point two, and we always have to
try to be the number one. You know when I
talk about that in in political numbers, in data bases.
So if we try, and that's what I really want
to do, then everything come to the number one, number one,
number one, from seventy five SI point seventy five to one,

(40:26):
you know, but right now we are like one point
twenty five.

Speaker 11 (40:30):
I believe and actually get the numbers here.

Speaker 10 (40:32):
That's this is our this is the this is the
bible as a political direction that we need right numbers, uh,
statistic numbers. If we don't have this data, we lose
what we are doing. We are not good to tell
the candidates. Ay right here, it's not just to make
the people jump to the empty pool. We have to
have water in the pool. And that's with numbers, that's
with data, and that's what I'm committed to do. Yeah,

(40:55):
so yes, we must work with that. That's our main
things to use database.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Okay, out for the next five minutes or so, we're
just going to have all of the candidate's talk for
if you and we'll start with Bob And because there
is one question I didn't ask him, but as a
chair you shall manage the day to day operations of
the party and do you know what those day to

(41:20):
day duties would be and can you.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Share them with the Well, one thing we will be
doing is everybody's going to be doing fundraising. That's that's
a given. Everybody's going to do that.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
But is that in the bylaws for everyone to do that?
It's now, how are you going to make that happen?

Speaker 5 (41:39):
Well, first of all, one of the things that I
look at is we've got to be financially responsible. And
how I propose that is for every dollar we take in,
we take twenty five cents out of that dollar and
put it in a savings account and we start holding
that money there.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Well, how are you going to take in money?

Speaker 5 (41:57):
Well, we take it in in donations from the people
at the meetings. That's one way. We've got some ideas,
and I've got one. We're going to end the free ride.
If you're going to be part of this party, you
got to be put some money in and be part
of put skin in it. And you know, you look
at everything else. We go to the Nevada Republican Club,

(42:19):
you've got to pay dues there, You got to pay
dues at some of these other organizations. Well, why are
we letting everybody free load. If you're going to bitch
about something, at least put money in there. And that
way you've got to think.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
But here's the you know what, you know what, You're
right because in California, we were members of the Solano
Republican Central Committee and we had to pay a membership fee,
and I was part of the board, so I had
to pay an additional fee after I was elected beyond
the board.

Speaker 5 (42:48):
And I think that's right because even in Wyoming and
in Tennessee, where I was very involved in politics, we
had to pay. And you know, here's the thing. The
way I look at I make eight trips to Sonic,
give my four dollars drink. That's thirty two dollars. That's
thirty two dollars I can send and put a month
into the Republican Party. Here at least I've got skin

(43:11):
in the game. And if we have six hundred and
twenty members voting members right now, if we did that,
we look at about fifteen to eighteen thousand dollars roughly
a month for the year. We're going to look at
one hundred and eighty thousand dollars in five years. We're
looking at half a million dollars if everybody pays.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
All right, thank you, thank you. So Rob, what do
you think about having paid membership.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
I think it's worth looking at. I also think it's
important to not let membership or participation in the party
be based just on money. I think it's worth thinking
about discussing. One thing that I've heard kicked around is
that you might have different levels that you can be
a member of the party, but if you put ten
dollars a month or something, you get priority seating or

(43:56):
you get different benefits. I do I think it's where
talking about. I do think it's a little questionable whether
you want to say you can't be part of the
party without contributing. I think that needs some work. But
I think the big thing that we've been missing, and
I'll give big credit for this, and I know Jill
Bliss as strongly, the thing that's been missing in recent
years is the will to make money. Jesse's told me

(44:19):
a year ago, well, the fundraising they need my thing. Okay,
Well that's not good enough. It has to be your objective.
And I know if you don't try, you're not going
to raise any money. So I give Bob and Jill
and the other credit for.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
That, and Eva, what do you think about that?

Speaker 10 (44:34):
I believe it's a good idea and I want to
put under this perspective. When you pay for something you own,
what you own, you care. So probably that will dounite
us and stop, you know, getting more divisions because now
everybody owns the party. When you pay for something you

(44:55):
own is like the puppies. You don't give puppies for
free because you will not take care of that. So
I belie if it's a good idea to get a membership,
even he's a little or I don't know. I don't
know how that handled because I would not be in
my position. I don't have to think about it. But
I believe it's a good idea to feel that you
own and you have to take care of that.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Yes, thank you so and wrapping up, I like to
thank Bob Olson, Rob Meanie and Eva, Sarah lind Do
and our callers Frank and John. This evening, I like
to thank our candidates for coming and spending some time

fifteenth and we'll go from there because it's really important.
