Speaker 1 (00:02):
Las Vegas, Nevada. It's time for straight talk and real solution.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're breaking down the issues that matter to you with
no spend, just the truth.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
From the strip to mainstream.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We're keeping it real for hard working Americans.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This is Talk with a Conservative, open conversation, with an
intelligent explanation.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Las Vegas and Nevada, let's talk. Welcome to talk with
a Conservative. I'm Garland Brinkley, actually doctor Brinkley, who ran
for a Simbi District one in twenty twenty two and
again in twenty twenty four, so everyone knows. I'm a
(00:43):
retired university professor.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And I'm Patricia Brinkley. I ran for Senate District one
in North Las Vegas, and I am an attorney at law.
And so also Garland's not the only doctor here. I
have doctors, so I'm doctor Brinkley too.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So it's two doctor Brinkley's here. You can say doctor
doctor Brinkley. Tonight, we're joined by special guest Jeff Compton,
who's the owner of the Trump Store, Joe Douglas and
the who's the chair of the Clark County Republican Party,
and Vince Palmieri Junior, and he actually wears multiple hats
(01:22):
for veterans.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yes, and so let's give out the number right now
for callers. Our number is seven zero two two to one,
seven two eight three seven zero two two two one
seven two eight three. You can also email us at
TWAC Radio Show at gmail dot com, or you can
(01:46):
contact us on x at TWAK Radio Show. So let's
see so well, our first guest this evening is Jeff Compton,
owner of the Trump Store. How are you, Jeff, doing well?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Thank you? Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And so everyone knows that Trump Store is at twenty
two to twenty Paradise Road. It's basically a little shopping
center with Paradise and Sahara. If you're a fan of
our President Donald J. Trump, you have to go there.
We Patricia, myself and actually Jill Douglas, we're at the
Trump Store's grand opening and it's amazing with everything they have. Jeff,
(02:33):
thank you for joining us tonight. We're amazed at everything
in the store. Could you tell us more about how
quickly you're able to establish your store?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Absolutely, you know, and it's interesting before you get to
the point of opening or starting to open it, it's
picking the location and everybody knows that locals don't want
to go to the strip, So can you pick a
place that's centrally located? People can get from one end
of the valley, you know, from Summerland or Henderson, or
(03:06):
east or west on the freeway. So we picked a
place at Sahara and Paradise where you know, you could
be at any all stretches of the valley within fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Maybe we all know it's location, location, location, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Once we got the location figured out, then from there,
you know, we didn't have much to do as far
as construction. It was pretty much ready to go. So
the fire Department was excellent coming through and inspecting it
and helping not expedite the process, but keeping it moving efficiently,
(03:43):
permitting you can do most of it online, if not
all of it. So I was able to do that
through the city and you know, that worked really well.
Probably the biggest disappointment that I had was we not
only to attract locals, but the international crowd and just
(04:04):
visitors from across the country. We thought that we could
advertise on bus benches down the strip, so we had
set up a program to put you know, advertisement on
about fifteen you know, well, twenty bus benches all throughout
the valley, but ten of them were going to be
down the strip so visitors that are coming could see
our sign and then come in. And the transit authority
(04:28):
rejected it because.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Right because the Trump Store.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Because it's political and they didn't like a political something
in the tourist area. I guess, you know, although I'm
sure if Kamala Harris wand open up the store, you know,
I've got so.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
But suffice it to say.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So, from what from the time that we found the location,
we're actually able to open in about six weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Wow. That's amazing to me because it's notorious Las Vegas
is for having regulations preventing businesses and small businesses from opening,
and you were able to navigate that process quite quickly.
I understand that you're considering writing a book about uh
(05:20):
obstacles opening up a business, you know, a business. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I've been very fortunate to uh start several businesses maybe
you know a lot, and uh, you know, I find
it fun. Uh I found Las Vegas specifically interesting, uh
not only getting it open, but then networking and and
uh building the business after that, you know, being close
(05:47):
to the AH Hearn Hotel of course, you know, very key,
you know, in in the conservative area. I met some
great people, you know, the the Nevada Republican Club meets
there and and then from there I met the Battle
Born women, you know that the Republican and Jill Douglas,
who's going to be here tonight, you know, and what
(06:09):
a fantastic group of people, you know, they all are.
And of course you guys along the way too. So
it has just been fantastic.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And again that we say, it's at twenty two to
twenty Paradise Road, and so it's a great place to
visit and see and all the not just paraphernalia, but
just the merchandise, say a curios, collectibles. Oh yeah, Well,
one thing I noticed that there's in the same like
park or little shopping center, there's McDonald's. Now there is
(06:41):
a famous politician that actually worked at McDonald's, but it's
unlikely that he'll be there.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Well, he wasn't at that location, true, and he's retired anyhow.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
He's got other things he's doing. Is there anything else
would like to add about your store, Jeff.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know, I'd just say that it's evolving all the time.
You know uh, you know, meeting the people and you
know trying to stink ahead.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You're listening to talk with a conservative.

Coming up next. I want everyone to remind everyone about
the Conservative Town Hall of North Las Vegas. It's eleven
forty five to one thirty at one eight seven zero
(08:22):
West Craig Road. It's in North Las Vegas. It's a
no host lunch. The next meeting is August seventh. It's

(08:45):
Also if you have many questions for our guests tonight
seven oh two two two one seven two eighty three,
or you can email us at TWAC Radio Show at
gmail dot com, or you can do it through at
TWACK Radio Show.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And so our next guest this evening, I'm going to
read his bio because when I received it, I was
quite impressed with it. So our next guest is Vincent
Paul Mary Jr. Vince is a retired USMC veteran. He
probably served during the Vietnam War with the first Battalion,
ninth Marines. This unit was known as the Walking Dead
(09:27):
by the North viat Benese Army. As nearly ninety eight
to ninety nine percent of their members were either killed
in action or wounded. Vince is currently the commander of
the Las Vegas Purple Heart Chapter seven eleven and also
Region six Commander of for the State of Nevada. He
(09:49):
keeps veterans in form regarding veteran issues, assists veterans in needs,
and Vince, as a former USMC, was wounded in action
and is the recipient of two Purple Hearts. In addition,
Vince is very active in the Las Vegans Asian community.
Welcome Vince, and thank you for your service.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
You're welcome, Patrician, thank you for having me here.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So, Vince, can you just let our listeners know that
are not familiar with the Purple Heart, Please explain it
to them.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Please sure, I'd love to and believe it or not,
there are a lot of people who don't know what
a Purple Heart metal is or that there is a
Purple Heart organization, and I have to say the Purple
Heart is a congressionally recognized organization by Congress. A Purple
(10:46):
Heart recipient is one who has received wounds fighting a
foreign enemy or had died fighting a foreign enemy. That
is the only way that you can receive a purple heart.
I have a lot of people come up to me
and ask me, oh, this happened, this happened. Can I
get a purple heart? And my answer is no, because
(11:08):
they have no background, no paperwork, and a lot of
them are injured in the States in training and that
does not give you a purple heart.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yes, so the purple heart goes back to nineteen thirty two. Yes,
I'm doing my research, and it included the veterans or
those who died in World War One, and then it
went on past there and to include World War two, Vietnam,
(11:40):
let me see Korea, and even Iran in Afghanistan Wars.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Yes, I have to say. I mean, it's probably one
of the medals that you don't want to receive, but unfortunately,
in combat things happen.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yes, and so you received two of them. So do
you mind telling us about your Andrew If you don't
want to, that's fine.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Yeah, I forgot to duck twice. Well, let me tell
a little story about the first Battalion, ninth Marines, which
I didn't find out until six months ago because there's
a page on Facebook called one to nine Association. These
are members who have been with the first Battalion, ninth
(12:25):
Marines past and present. And I'm always looking for my
brothers who I served with in Vietnam in nineteen sixty seven,
and unfortunately I can't remember anyone's name. I don't have
any vision of it. And so I reached out and
this recon marine text me and said, Vince, this is
(12:49):
why you guys were called the walking dead. And he
said to me there was a general from the North
Viniamese Army that promised Ho Chi men that he would
wipe out the first Battalion, ninth Marines before his birthday.
That was going to be his birthday gift. So every
place we went, we faced the North Vietnamese Army and
(13:13):
the majority of times were outnumbered three to one, five
to one, sometimes ten to one. Uh and obviously we
got the name because they could not defeat us.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Okay, and listeners are number is seven zero two two
two one seven two eight three, please call in and
join the conversation. So Garland just mentioned about our town hall.
So anyone that's been to our town hall knows that
I love trivia. So I have a trivia question for
Vince and see if he gets it. Who is the
(13:45):
only president to receive a purple heart.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
I believe that was George Bush.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
No, that would be JFK. John F. Kennedy. Oh, yes, yes,
he received it for his Pt one O nine incident. Yeah,
the book that he that he wrote, right, Okay, so thanks.
You are from New Jersey, is that correct? Or New York?
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I'm from Brooklyn, New York.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Brooklyn, New York. So that answers. My second question is
going to say what for all? And how long have
you been in Las Vegas?
Speaker 7 (14:18):
This month now is ten years?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Okay, wonderful, wonderful, And so you are active in the
Las Vegas Asian community. Can you tell us what you do?
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Yes, I lived in China for over fourteen and a
half years, and when I came back to Vegas, well
to the States, I didn't realize what was going on
in the country and especially reaching out in the Asian community.
So I decided to start an organization because I realized
(14:52):
that there are a lot of Asian women that are
married to American veterans and they don't understand and they
need someone to to talk to. And that's why I
started the organization in the beginning and to give them
information about our new legislation, how our political system works,
(15:15):
how to do many things, help them to become citizens,
help them to assimilate into the culture.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And also, in the event that their husband is disabled
or is deceased, to help them get benefits for them
through the Veterans Administration. Correct.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Yes, in fact, I was fortunate. Before I came here,
I was asked by Congressman Stephen Horsford to attend a
he has a veterans get together every once in a
while of about ten veterans in the community and we
talk about different issues, and one of the main issues
that we talked about was recognizing women veterans. Many people
(15:57):
don't know that we have a lot of women veterans,
and I'm happy to say that the Veterans Hospital is
in the process of opening a women's clinic and right
now I believe they have seven thousand women that have
applied for veterans benefits.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Okay, well, both of my parents were veterans from World
War Two, so yes, I quite familiar with female veterans.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
And I just wanted to say thank you for your service,
you know, and and and everything that you've done and
that you're doing. My oldest son was in the Army
one hundred and first Airborne Recon. He was in Desert
Storm too, and and did a few tours in and
you know, every time he was deployed, you know, in
(16:47):
in the combat arena, you know, the whole family is
just on edge, yes, and you know, sometimes being recon,
he'd be in further than anybody knew. And of course
sometimes they just go dark for a week or so
and you're just wondering. And we were just so lucky
every time that he was able to come back. And
(17:08):
for what you've done and what you did, just thank
you very much.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
I like to mention that one thing that we've started
within the veterans community is Red Friday. And Red Friday
stands for remember everyone deployed. And if you haven't read
the newspaper, we've had a company or a battalion of
Nevada National Guard who is deployed for I think the
(17:34):
last eight to nine months. They just returned the other day.
And people don't realize that when the husband or the
wife is deployed, the parents left at home. They're missing something.
It's not the same when you sit at the dinner table.
So We also have something that we do now and
(17:57):
I do it every Wednesday. It's called war Your Buddy Check.
We tried to check on all our buddies because one
of the main problems we have in the veterans community
is veterans' suicide. So sometimes just reaching out, sending the
text message, being there can prevent something from that like
(18:17):
that happening.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
So, Vince, how long did you serve in the service.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I enlisted in the Marine Corps for four years, and
my intention was to make it a career, and when
I got out, I intended to join the New York
Police Department, serve another twenty years and get two pensions
and have a happy life. But unfortunately that didn't work
out because I was wounded twice in Vietnam. The first one,
(18:50):
I don't like to talk about it, but it made
me realize this is reality, this is not a John
Wayne movie. And the second time was the one that
sent me home. I was in the hospital in Japan
for about four months and then returned to the States
to Saint Orbans Naval Hospital and I was in that
(19:10):
hospital for about three or four months, and then finally
the Marine Corps retired me. That's why I say. I'm
the United States Marine retired. I enjoyed being in the service,
not being in war. And one of the things that
b me. Everybody knows about PTSD and wounds are not
(19:35):
something that are only physical, they are mental, and those
are the ones that caused the most problems. So we
need to reach out and make sure that we have support.
I remember one year when I was living in New Jersey,
I was asked to be the grand marshal of our
Memorial Day parade and they asked me to talk to
(19:57):
the crowd. This is the first time ever talked in
front of many people about Vietnam or veterans, and I
really didn't know what to say.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
And at that.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Time, you know, when Vietnam veterans came back, the war
wasn't popular and it caused a lot of problems. So
I just started talking and I said, we need to
support our men and women who put on the uniform.
No matter where they go, they need support while they're
away from home. It's not whether the war is right
(20:29):
or wrong. There are people who believe in something and
they're willing to give up and sacrifice their life.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
For They need support.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
So after your service in the Marines. I believe that
you were working in financial services. Can you tell us
a little bit about your job in that area.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
I started at City Bank delivering mail in the mailroom,
and then I was placed on the management training program,
and fortunately some people took a liking to me, so
my career started to move on and I was asked
to sit on the money market desk. And at that
(21:08):
time I didn't have a degree. And here I'm sitting
around all these suits wingtip guys from Harvard and Yale
and Columbia, and I said, you know what am I
doing here? And then I realized, Hey, I'm no different
than anybody else. They're no different than me, and they
tested me out. I worked and my career took off
(21:29):
from there. I became an institutional money market trader. And
from there some people from Dean Widdow heard about me.
They stole me from City Bank, as we say in Italian.
They made me an offer I couldn't refuse. And then
Dean Widow was brought out by Morgan Stanley, and that's
what really got me to China.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You're listening to talk with a conservative.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Jill, what's some of the issues you want to tackle
as chair?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
There's a lot.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Number one, I think, first and foremost, we've really have
to get very aggressive with fundraising that's needed in order
to fuel the victories that we want to have. So
everything is focused on right now. We've been working on
creating all of our committees and committee chairs, and I've
already called our first executive board meeting for tomorrow night
(25:36):
to get approval on those so we can really hit
the ground running.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Okay, so let's see we have a caller.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
Hello, caller, how you doing this, Brinkley?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I'm well and you are, Frank friends, Good evening, Frank.
What's your question?
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Well, first off, Jill, congratulations. The wife and I voted
for you. We are very happy with you winning. And
my question for you is, with this great opportunity that
we now have with the people that won the slate,
what are you guys going to do to draw in
more independence to the parties so that we can continuously
move this train forward.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
That's a great question, Frank, and thank you so much
for your support and sharing. In my vision, we have
to reach them. I don't think that we ever have
put any efforts in place to try to reach them.
So I envision getting some data on the hyperpensity nonpartisan
(26:41):
voters and getting to know them. We need to be
inviting them to pizza and politics and town halls and
discussions to find out about their kitchen table issues, their
paying points, and what's important to them.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Okay, thank you Frank for your question. So, Jill's been
talk about implementing a membership fee, has there been any
further thought by you about doing so.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
We have put the framework together for a finance committee
that's going to be focused on multiple buckets of revenue
stream that has been done in the past, where if
you joined, you paid twenty five dollars. That's been around
for a long long time. I don't want to make
anyone feel like they can't belong to the party and
(27:29):
let that get in the way. I think I will
be more focused on signing up for a reoccurring maybe
a donation. You know, obviously fundraised isn't important. And you know,
when you do a membership fee, it does at least
(27:51):
cement a at least or some commitment. Right, So sometimes
individuals who are not really going to contribute to the
bigger picture. But I'm want to create a big tent.
I want everyone to feel like they've got a place
and can belong. And I don't want money to ever
become an issue. So while that's something we talk about,
I don't think any any decision has been made. And honestly,
(28:12):
if we can find some big money donors like I
think we can, there wouldn't really be a necessity for that.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Oh you know, Joe, I just want to say congratulations.
You know when I first met the Battle for Republican
Women and just you know, what a great group of
people and and and you as the leader, you know,
really move the needle in the things that you did,
and and you know, watching you interact and build your
(28:43):
network was fantastic and so you know to hear that
you want, Uh, this one isn't really that surprising, But it.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Started with winning the dance contest at your at your
open house.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Absolutely so we did have a Trump dance contest.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I wonder there was a video of it too.
Speaker 10 (29:04):
Yeah, I think it's because I did the golf swing
in with the dance.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
Now that that sealed the deal for me, that's right.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
And then once again, just to show what a team
player you are, I believe that the prize that you
won you donated as the door prize for another one
in your meetings.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I did.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Our number is seven zero two to two one seven
two A three or email us at TWAC Radio show
at gmail dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I got a quick question for you chio increasing membership,
especially with the Asian, Hispanic and Black community communities. Now,
Patrician and I have attended like Shepherd's Breakfast for like
two years, but generally speaking we're about the only Republicans here.
We also do Hispanics and politics and the same thing.
We've gone to them about about two years now. Can
(29:56):
we encourage other Republicans to go to those and how
other things you would do to reach out to the
minority communities.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
So.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
We are creating a community relations team hope that to
be headed up by Michelle Barnes, and so there's going
to be a lot of outreach, not only working with
coalition partners, but also to get us in those communities.
We want to build a party that looks like the
community we represent, and so by having someone responsible for that,
(30:25):
she'll be able to let me know, Hey, this event's
going on, you know in North Las Vegas, or this
this event is going on focused on the Latino market,
or this event is going focused on the Asian market,
and we're really going to become a larger part of
those communities, showing that we actually care.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
And Michelle Barnes is one of the few Republicans that
have attended Shepherd's Breakfast with us.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yes, okay, so let's see here this next question. Uh
oh yes, I have to double read it. Okay. So
my suggestion for you is to have something like a
fireside chat with either you or the political director or
(31:10):
the vice chair once a month on our show. What
do you think about that?
Speaker 8 (31:14):
I think that is the most wonderful idea, and we're
all in and committed to that, so we can definitely
rotate around between the various members on the board. That's
a great idea and we're committed.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Okay, wonderful. Well, we'll mark you down.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Besides us, would you also have representatives that like the
women's groups or the town halls.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
Oh absolutely, Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
So I've read that our next two CCPR meetings are
going to be in September and November and they'll be
held at Queen's Ridge again. Correct, So after that are
their plans to have a more permanent location for our
monthly ever bi monthly meeting.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Right, Devin Livesey, the vice chair, did me a great
favor by going ahead and getting those meetings scheduled and
on the books so we don't have to worry about
where they are. I do think there is something to
be said for having a permanent location so people aren't
always know where is this meeting?
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Where is that?
Speaker 10 (32:14):
Meaning?
Speaker 8 (32:15):
Ideally it would be great to have something more central
for everybody. That's and you know, Devin and I work
really really well together. We're in communication every day, sometimes
multiple times a day, and so that's you know, that's
one of those things we'll talk about what's the best
place to have it? Sometimes it makes sense to rotate
(32:35):
it if you can't find that place that's large enough.
I mean, that's one of your one of the factors
is can you find a location that's large enough to
accommodate the group. I would love to have a permanent
location kind of in the middle of town. But that's
that'll be a conversation that we have. That's kind of
one of his responsibilities is to find those locations, and
(32:56):
he's right on top of it.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Doesn't look likely that will have a office space, Yes.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
It does.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
Again, that's one of the things that Devin has been
very on top of and we've worked on, and we
hope we have the keys to some offices on Friday.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Wonderful you don't want to give us the location yet, Okay,
But getting back to the meeting location. Is the Ahern
still in the Ahern still a location that is going
to be looked at?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (33:33):
I think you know, we all love the Ahern.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
One of the concerns of the Ahern is, you know,
the meeting space is open space, right, Not that there's
anything that really goes on in our meetings that we
need to be worried about, right, but there almost There
also might be a possibility to partner with some other
high profile Republicans that have locations that that would fit
for us as well.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Are there any plans to record or broadcast the meetings?
Speaker 8 (34:01):
That's a great question, because I am going to have
a fantastic communications chair and precinct chair and we will
be working on that if if you know, because I
see communications being multifaceted, communications needs to build a volunteer
group where someone helps focus on public relations, or someone
(34:24):
helps focus on you know, podcast, or someone helps focused
on you know, the look of the flyers we send
out to make sure we've got eyes on all of
our different types of communications. And that's a really big arena.
With what you do in communications, you're touching a lot
of things. But yes, ideally I think, you know, we
(34:45):
can have a podcast, but we can also have you know,
a photographer, a videographer to capture those meetings. And the
great thing about having the structure of a communications team
is instead of somebody doing that and it just goes
out out there, now you've got some oversight to make
sure that everything we're sending we've looked at it. It
(35:06):
helps the brand, you know, and doesn't create any you know,
make anyone feel bad or create any kind of kind
of issues, you know, being reflective on all of our
actions do reflect on the brand. And so whatever we
put out in that public space social media, whatever we
(35:27):
feel good about it.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
So a lot of our listeners may not know about
the Clark County Republican Party. So do you want to
tell our listeners about that and how they can become members.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
Yes, So you know, if you are a registered Republican
and you live in Clark County, then you can join
the Clark County Republican Central Committee and then you can
be a part of all of the things that we
do to organize to make a difference in the community.
Our mission is to elect conservatives who champion our values.
(36:00):
And so the more that we grow, the more that
creates a strong amount of volunteers.
Speaker 10 (36:07):
It's a big valley. We've got a big job to do.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
And we're really trying to structure the grassroots precinct operation
so that we are really effective neighborhood to neighborhood, and
I think I think we're going to be very successful
this year doing that. We want more members and so
come out and join us and be a part of
what we do.
Speaker 10 (36:29):
If you know, what we do matters.
Speaker 8 (36:31):
When Republicans win, our community wins. But it takes all
of us being plugged in and giving of our time
and our talents and our efforts and our money.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
So as you know, the conservative Town Hall of North
Las Vegas meets on the first Thursday, which to be
August seventh, next week. Should we expect to have somebody
from the CCPR there too, for.
Speaker 10 (36:55):
I think we can definitely make that possible. Okay, I
enjoyed my visit.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Yeah, that was a great Maybe years you're listening to
talk with a conservative for it.
Speaker 6 (37:20):

Speaker 1 (38:23):
You're tuned into talk with a conservative were recent still
rules and free speech still matters.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Stay with us. More truth, more insight, and more straight
talk coming up next.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Also, Jill, I see that you write a column for
the Nevada News and Views. How did you fall into that?
Speaker 10 (38:49):
That's a good question.
Speaker 8 (38:52):
I think, you know, I have attended a lot of
campaign schools with Chuck Mouse. I so appreciate him, his crew, creativity.
We formed a relationship. I'm just always learning from him
and uh, you know, and then he was helpful during
my Senate six campaign with helping me try to write
(39:13):
some material for that and it just kind of evolved.
So I'm really I'm really pleased to be a part
of that and be one of the people that have
been asked to write. It's so topical, it's so current,
and there's a lot of good stuff in that.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Are you going to continue to write for that column?
Speaker 7 (39:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Sure, okay? And will that be added into the c
c rp's website or can you cross?
Speaker 8 (39:41):
I don't know, we'd have to have to talk about that.
Make make sure we don't curate any kind of.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, I mean okay. So one more thing. Will you
be accessible to the members?
Speaker 10 (39:53):
Absolutely?
Speaker 8 (39:55):
You know, again, at the heart of what I do
as servant leadership, so being there to work for.
Speaker 10 (40:03):
The Central Committee.
Speaker 8 (40:05):
When I ran for Senate, I use my personal cell
phone number because you I wanted people to know that
that was the type of person that they would be electing,
which was someone who was accessible and someone who cared about,
you know, what they were thinking and their ideas and opinions.
And again, I think when you create a big tent,
there's always people out there that have ideas on how
(40:27):
to do this or how to do that, and I
want them to know we appreciate that. We may not
always implement it, but you know, we want fresh ideas.
We wanted innovative ways.
Speaker 10 (40:36):
Of doing things.
Speaker 8 (40:36):
We want to make the meetings meetings that matter. So
when people come, they leave feeling encouraged, feeling it was
a valuable you see their time, and they want to
bring somebody else with them the next time.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Yes, call in with your questions on seven oh two
two two one seven two eighty three. We encourage you
to call in and ask questions and engage our guests.
So a chance to ask quite you really want to
know about what they plan to do to make America
great again. In case you don't know, you can actually
have Alexa link to our broadcast by telling her to
(41:11):
go to KSHP fourteen hundred AM or one oh seven
point one FM. Besides calling, you can email us at
Twakradio Show at gmail dot com or x at TWAK
Radio Show.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
So, Jill, do you want to leave some kind of
contact information for our listeners?
Speaker 8 (41:35):
Absolutely so you can reach me by phone at seven
oh two four nine seven three three five two. You
can email me at Jill for Clark County and that's
the number four Jill for Clark County at gmail dot com.
Speaker 10 (41:49):
Okay, where I'm all you know? The website's been updated.
Speaker 8 (41:52):
So also, if you go in on the Clark County,
Nevada Republican Party website, you know, I think you can
link onto our communication channels and contact channels.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
And so when you said you're communication committee, you want
them to be able to reach the members, but also
you want to pull in new members, and so in
order to do that, how how do you plan to
do that?
Speaker 10 (42:18):
That's a good question. Can I make the announcement? Really?
Speaker 8 (42:28):
You know, one of the things that seem to have
the greatest impact right now social media. I think they're
they're crediting Trump with how he was able to reach
that younger generation, that Gen Z through social media.
Speaker 10 (42:42):
We've got to get much better with social media.
Speaker 8 (42:44):
So whether that's X, whether that's Instagram, Facebook, whether that's
streaming videos, you know, putting things out through through podcasts,
different communication channels than in the past to reach new
younger generations. How that's where they get their information from.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Yes, are there any changes in the bylaws you'd like
to see?
Speaker 10 (43:10):
Oh gosh, So let me tell you.
Speaker 8 (43:12):
One of the biggest eye openers has been how conflicted
our standing rules are with our bylaws. The standing rules
are disaster they're regurgitation of the bylaws. When they're supposed
to be administrative rules, they create a lot of positions
and that cannot be created in standing in standing rules.
(43:33):
So we literally are starting with throwing out the standing
rules and revising them to be what they should be.
And then some of the job descriptions that were in
the standing rules we still want. So now that's going
to start having us do amendments to the bylaws. We
definitely need to clean up the bylaws as well, you know,
(43:54):
so we're easier to do business with and they're understandable
and you know, and there's not the conflicts you know, created.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
So we just want everyone to know that after this
show concludes that episode eight with Jill Douglas will be
aired again, so stay tuned with that and you can
call in at seven oh two two two one seven
two eight three and August seventh is the next meeting
(44:26):
of the Conservative Town Hall of North Las Vegas. Our
guest speaker will be Cody Whipple. Please come out meet him.
He's running for CD four, so make sure you get
out and meet the candidates.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
All right. I also want to mention but to go
to the Trump Store two tow to zero Paradise Road.
It's just an amazing experience to go there and see
what they.
Speaker 5 (44:52):
Have, and we'll look Garland.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
I just find it very serendipitous and interesting that we
started out the show talking about jump starting a business
here in Las Vegas, and then Jill has just schooled
everybody on organizational development and building out all the different
parts from your location to your people, to your network
and corporate communications and structure, and just you know, once again,
(45:19):
every single one of your members.
Speaker 5 (45:20):
Should just be so happy.
Speaker 10 (45:21):
You're so you're so so kind.
Speaker 8 (45:23):
But I'll tell you I love the Trump storet go there,
You'll have fun and you'll pick up all sorts of
little things.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
You're listening to talk with a conservative.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Okay, thanks for joining us on talking with the conservative.
We keep standing for liberty, faith in life because America's
worth to fight.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
