Speaker 1 (00:02):
In 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 intelligent explanation.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Las Vegas and Nevada, let's talk. Welcome to Talk with
a Conservative. I'm Garland Brinkley, who ran for SIMI District
one in twenty twenty two and again in twenty twenty four.
I'm a slow learner, I'm a retired university professor.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
And I'm Patricia Brinkley and I ran for a Senate
District one in North Las Vegas, and I am an
attorney at law. And welcome to our new season of
Talk with a Conservative. Our telephone number is seven to
zero two two two one seven two eight three, and
if you're unable to get through on the telephone at
(01:04):
seven oh two two two one seven two eight three,
please email your question to Twacradio Show at gmail dot com.
If your question is received before the end of the hour,
we will answer it. If not, we will address it
at the beginning of our next show tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We're joined by special guest Flemy Larson. He's a former
candidate for Simdy I'm sorry at Simity District twelve in
twenty twenty two and for Congressional District one in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
And but before we get to Flemy, we have a
very special shout out from one of our regular listeners
named Diane. Diane is wishing her wonderful husband Arlen a great, big,
beautiful happy birthday shout out from TWAT and she wants
Arlen to know what a blessing he has been to her.
(01:58):
Thank you, Diane, and happy birthday, Arlan birthday again. Our
call in number is seven zero two two two one
seven two eight three or email us at TWAFT Radio
Show at gmail or we're on x as well. And
we just want to remind any candidate who's running if
(02:19):
you would like to be a co host with us,
contact us to learn more details. But before we get
to our special guests Fleming Laarsing, we have a question,
so you feel free to call in with your answer.
But we just want to know why is there so
much resistant to President Trump's action to send the National
(02:40):
Guard to Chicago. Residents have requested it why are liberals,
some old hippies, and the media so against public safety?
Call in with your answer.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It seems like the politicians in Chicago and the state
also are against it. I understand that they're actually putting
garbage structure on the freeway to try and prevent the
National Guard from going in.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, but you know, to me, I believe that we
have these people that are protesting, but they don't live
in the neighborhood. The people in those communities have asked
the president to come to help clean up their city.
So where do these people come from to say, Oh,
he shouldn't be doing this. This is part of his
(03:27):
job to protect the residents and the citizens of America.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
We found out that when the National Guarden went into Washington,
d C. Crime went way down. Less murders, less car jackmans,
less robberies, everything. I would think that any mayor or
governor would like to see that happen.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yes, But to me, I believe because the crime is
not in their neighborhoods, they really don't care about it.
And so maybe that's one of the reasons why they
turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the
cries of their residents. So call in with your own
response to that. So our guest this evening is Fleming Larson.
(04:12):
Fleming is a businessman who moved from California to Nevada
to escape government overreach. And he's a former candidate for
eighty twelve and twenty twenty two along with his wife
April Larson, who ran for Senate District twenty one. They
were the original power couple in Clark County politics. Fleming
(04:34):
also ran again in twenty twenty four for CD one.
So let's welcome Flemy. Thank you for joining us this evening.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Thank you for having me, appreciate being here.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes, yes, so I before we get started, I just
Garland told me that you sold your red firetruck and
that was a vintage for firetruck. And many of you
matter a Senate around the town during the election season
the past two cycles. So tell us about the fire truck.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
About a couple of years ago is in nineteen forty one,
Sandford fire Truck out of New York, Seattle bought it,
refurbished it completely furbished it, took it down to the
frame and rebuilt it and they stopped using it after
about the twenty something years. All the old retirement. All
the old firemen retired and they couldn't drive a stick
(05:21):
shift anymore for some reason. Weird, And so they put
it online and I bought it, and unfortunately it was
just sitting in my warehouse now and just collecting dust.
And I figured a new owner would be uh would
use it more than I would.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Did you have a special name for it, like Bertha
or Abigail?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
No, no special name for it. It was just a special
fire truck to us. And you know, we have a
lot of great memories with it. A lot of parades,
were used in parades and drove it around the neighborhood.
A lot of kids came up, took pictures of it,
went to a lot of car shows.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah. Well, when Garland told.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Me, I feel sad, yeah I did too.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
So, I mean, what do you think about our question
of the day about the resistance of President Trump?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Trying to honestly, it's appalling to be honest with you.
I can't understand why public safety is a partisan issue.
It's just complete its politics. And I just don't understand why.
I think criminals are like fat on a pig, and
when you start to cut the fat out, Uh, the
pigs will cry, we'll scream, and so I think that's
(06:28):
what you're seeing. And I also think you're talking about
people that don't even live in the neighborhoods. They're probably
the George Sower, probably funded by George Soris, brought in
to create to stir bad vibes in the neighborhood. So,
but it's it shouldn't be a public safety the public
safety issues shouldn't be partisan politics.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But remember last year, yes it must have been last year,
either at Florida or Texas, they were sending illegals to
Martha's Vineyard and in not in less than two days,
Martha's Vineyard up their town and they did not have
any more illegals in there.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Weird how that works out. Yes, double standards, Yeah, double standard.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
This is right. So you and your wife April ran
in twenty twenty two. You were the power couple of
Clark County before the Brinkleys. Tell us about that experience.
Running for a political office as a married couple.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Actually was really great because my wife had signed up
first to run for state Senate in a very upside
down district. I think it was like thirty percent. Her
numbers were Republican was a Democrat, and there was an
Assembly seat that was open, and I was going to
go everywhere with her. I was going to go to
Carson City. I was gonna you know, we went all
the fundraisers together. We did everything together. So I figured,
(07:44):
let's just sign up and do this together as a
couple and kind of drink the kool aid. My district
was only like negative twenty two, wasn't quite as bad
as hers, and we ended up doing a very good job.
We actually, uh April and I actually performed better than
any one in the state of Nevada. We had more
independence and Democrats to vote for us, and we got
really really close. I was actually up at election night
(08:08):
and lost by three hundred and something votes. Four days
later when all the mail in ballots came in.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Were you asked to cure any ballots at that.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Time, Yeah, I had about seventy five or eighty ballots
and need to be cured, and we cured those. We
tried to cure them within a couple of days, but
the Democrats had double that, so I'm sure they cured theirs.
And that's where the numbers grew as well. I mean,
before the election I was getting about forty percent of
the mail in ballots, which makes sense, right, Republican get forty,
(08:38):
Democrats getting sixty. But after the election day I only
got ten percent of the mail in ballots, So kind
of fishy.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
If you ask me, well, do you think that they
knew how many ballots they needed to overcome your victory?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's sure is
kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I did notice, for example, that there's organizations that will
supply walkers and knock on doors, and you can spend
you know, fifty sixty thousand to do that, and they'll
bustle in and the last week or so they'll go
around knocking on doors and trying to get ballots. Do
you think that may have happened to you?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Oh? Absolutely. My opponents spend almost ten times more than
I did. You know, we did we we walked the neighborhoods,
we made phone calls. I had a great core of
volunteers that stood by me, and we just did it
the old fashioned way. And then we spent about thirty
five forty thousand dollars and they spent three hundred and
(09:38):
fifty thousand dollars They knew I was coming up behind
them and about to take that you know, very blue district,
and they didn't want that to happen. They actually called
in at the time Governor Si Silac Dino Titis other
assembly people to start walking just in eighty twelve, which
before was a you know, a given for the for
the for the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Now you guys used golf cards to drive around.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yeah, we had to maximize our ability, you know, because
some of the areas in the east side where eighty
twelve was, uh you know, there was you know, eight
home Democrat homes and then one Republican home. So we
need we need to be able to reach those, especially
in the primary, reach those Republicans a little bit quicker
these callers.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Our number is seven zero two two two one seven
two eight three. Please call in and join the conversation.
And we just want to remind you if you missed
our Conservative town hall of lath of North Las Vegas
last week, you missed a great event. We celebrated our
two year anniversary and we had our speaker was Alex
(10:44):
Slack who spoke about the Constitution and as you know,
Constitution Day is September seventeenth, We are so thankful for
all the people that attended our event last week to
help us celebrate. And just remember on October second, it
is our next town hall and we will have doctor r.
Red Nagy. He's a brain surgeon and he's a candidate
(11:07):
for CD three. Again. Our number is seven zero two
two two one seven two eight three.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I expect I'm going to put that on speed dial
so you can call in.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So last time Garland had a little I guess it
was a contest or what was it, garld Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, yeah. So I did a survey in the last
primary before the primary was over for Republicans running in
Clark County that were had opposition, so you had more
than two one Republican in each race. So it's like Patrician,
I went, but we had no opponents, no Republican opponents,
(11:47):
And so I did that survey handed out to active Republicans,
so places like the Republican Club, I had it out there,
various events like that, and it turns out that this
guy Fleming Larson just nailed it, I mean big time.
He only missed one because like over nineteen races, he
picked eighteen correct and the one he missed was my
(12:11):
own yes, and it's like that's so astute. It's like,
I mean, has to have one of the most acute
minds here in Northwest in Clark County.

You're tuned into Talk with a Conservative. Were recent still
rules and free speech still matters?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's time to cut through the noise and get back
to ifar really matters, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So we're here with our guests, Fleming Larsen, and our
call in number is seven zero two two two one
seven two eight three. Before we went to break, we
were talking about Fleming's running for the CD one and
if you can just share with the audience what we
were just talking about during the break, about you know
(13:57):
what happened to you and then you try to help
the other candidates that were in the Assembly and the Senate,
and just can you expound on that.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Well, I'll go back to the Assembly when I won
or excuse me, I won the primary in the Assembly,
but I lost in general. Like I said, I outperformed
every single Republican in the state of Nevada. I had
more independence of Democrats vote for me. They said, okay,
we need you to run for Congress. So I started
running for Congress. But the idea was the time was
to save our state. Nevada was deep blue at the time.
(14:27):
We were super minority in the Assembly, we were one
vote away from being super minority in the Senate, and
I felt I was the best candidate to help some
of these candidates over the top. In CD one. There
was about four districts that I was focusing on, especially
if I'd won the primary. I was gonna spend a
lot of money. I put a lot of my own
(14:47):
money into the campaign, and I was going to help
these candidates get over the top. Unfortunately, I didn't win
the primary. Six weeks before the election, I got severely
sick and had to kind of step back a little bit,
and my campaign went kind of kind of overdrive. Thank god,
I had a lot of good volunteers that kind of
stepped up the plate. But you know, I was a
candidate and I couldn't be out there last six we
(15:08):
see election.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So you were very active with the other candidates for
the lower races, I guess simply and like that very active.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I think that you know, if they win, I would
have won. And so my goal was to you know,
being a restaurant tour and having a lot of employees,
you know, hundreds of hundreds of employees at a time,
tens of thousands over the course of thirty years, you
got to be able to work together with people. And
I felt these four assembly districts that we could have flipped.
(15:37):
I was really focused on on helping them win. So
we can get out of the super minority and possibly
even get the majority in Carson City. Because I moved
to the state thirteen years ago. I'm a recovering California
and I saw exactly what California has become over the
last thirty five years in business. The trajectory has gone
so fast. So when when the Democrats took the super
(16:00):
majority in twenty twelve in California in the Senate the Assembly,
I said, I'm out of here. I couldn't take this
anymore because I saw the down trajectory.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, you mentioned your businessman. You are a very successful
business man, and you started working at the age of fifteen.
You work in your family business is.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Full time, that's a butcher.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah. And then by the age of nineteen you were able.
You had enough hours that you actually became a butchery. Yeah.
And so in your twenties you decided to go a
different direction and open a restaurant and you ended up
with a chain. Can you tell us about that.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well, in the early nineties, you know, I was going
to work at five, six o'clock in the morning, working,
you know, twelve hour days a cold back room, cutting meat,
and it wasn't a very good opportunity for my love
life and working weekend. So I figured what can I
do that I could scale a business and grow a business.
(16:58):
And I thought the meatia industry is really changing in
the nineties until the Atkins diet came out the late nineties.
Then all of a sudden meat became healthy again. But
it was it was time to change my industry, and
I figure out what can I do? In restaurants was
the industry that I picked, and in ninety ninety two,
right around there, open my first restaurant, and I've had
dozens since then, sold on different concepts between bakeries, Deli's,
(17:22):
fifties diners, barbecue, steakhouses, and now I own a chain
of steakhouses and.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
They're all in California. Nothing here in Nevada.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
They're all in Comifornia.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
OK.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah. So, as a successful business owner in the hospitality
and restaurant industry, what is your take on the de
klanie economy in Nevada based on the current what we
used to going on with the casinos right now?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Well, I think I heard a report the other day
that they made last year same quarter was like two
billion dollars I'm just throwing it out there. I'm not
quite sure how much it is, but now they made
one point eight billion, so that really decline. I mean
they've been over fed. It's been over banked the last
three or four years because of COVID. I've seen it
in my business. Uh, you know, the money's run out
(18:08):
and so people don't have expenditures anymore. I mean I
go to the strip all the time and it's it's
jam packed. But I also think the casinos have got
a little greedy, especially with locals. You know, we know
that look at all look at the sun Says Station casino.
They're showing record profit. You know, they know they don't
chart for parking. Their food is more reasonable. You know.
I'll go to the wind and you know, steak starts
(18:29):
at like ninety dollars. Now it's the craziest thing, and
they charge you for parking. So I think they need
to kind of revisit the local business because it's a
big business here and sun Sets Station has really kind
of shown the way it should be.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Okay. Our email is TWAC Radio Show at gmail dot com,
or you can reach us on x at teid. WAC
explanation Mark radio show, and so we want to do
our can shout out for our regular listener, Diane. She's
(19:04):
wishing her husband, her wonderful husband, Arlin, a great, big,
beautiful happy birthday shout out, and she wants Arlene to
know what a blessing he has been to her. So
thank you, Diane, and happy birthday Arlin from the Brinkleys
at Talk with a Conservative.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Absolutely happy birthday, Diane.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And so let's see, you just got back from a
trip to Europe. But you want how many times is she?
Have you been to Europe?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I've been there twice, Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Okay, so you can see firsthand what do the Europeans
think about Americans.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Well, they don't really like us. Ring they don't like
Trump very much. It's unfortunate, and I try to go
to argue the point, but you got to understand they
have very liberal media there, so they only believe what
they hear. And so it's difficult because especially because I'm
from Denmark. You know, my family's from Denmark and Greenland
being Denmark, and you know, Trump says I'm going to
(20:05):
take Denmark and this and that. I'm like, okay, Colear,
horse Clear jets down people of Greenland have to vote
on it and if they want to become part of
the United States. But they just look at it like, oh,
he's just a bully. They don't really like him at all.
So it's difficult talk politics.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
But I thought Denmark was the occupiers, the colonizers of Greenland.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
They are. It's funny how that works, huh.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It is very funny.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, it's kind of ironic.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
But the citizens of Greenland, they were on board would
becoming part of the United States.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I thought, if they vote for it, then they'll be
part of the United States. But if they don't vote
for it, my guests is will stay Denmark because I
watched a lot of when I was over there. They
do a lot of interviews from Denmark and the excuse me,
from Greenland, and their polls are not showing that they
want to be part of the United States.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay, okay, But for America to obtain Greenland as a
state would be a military coup for them because they
need that strategic area of Greenland. Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I believe. I'm not a military expert, but I believe
that's what Trump is saying, and I believe them. But
at the same time, you know we need Greenland needs
to vote on it and if they want to be
prior to the United States and feel safe, I mean
they're pretty safe country now, but they would have to
vote on it.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I understand that Canada, three provinces of Canada want to
join the United States.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
That doesn't surprise me at all.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Do we know which ones? They're the ones we want?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It's like British comment, Yeah, there it is.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
We don't want more liberals.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Oh no, no, well Vancouver, could I guess fall into
the ocean that would be okay, Yeah, but it's the main.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Is it like that?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I want to say, British Columbia, Alberta. I can't remember
what they are, but they call it the Texas of Canada.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Thank your producing, have a collar. Welcome caller. What is
your name and what is your quest?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Hello? Everyone? Everyone is as Terry o'brown. How y'all doing?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
What's your question? Ontario?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Oh? I just wanted to say it's good to hear
from Fleming tonight and his observation of supporting us and
the last candidacy, and we are still pushing along his
vision to win these seats in the state Assembly as
as well as in the state, because we do need
to take our district back and get the party back
(22:36):
in line to move some of these agendas that are
being overrun by the Democrats. I just want to say,
you know, I believe in what we're doing is on
the right track to which with Larson started and if
we continue that vision with new candidates that we have
(22:58):
out here, we will get something holding in the right direction.
Especially as he said, the casino owners have gotten greedy
and that's because of COVID dem question just to cut
you down, to cut you down, and the reflection of
what happened on the bottom because they had to sail
to land and now they're leasing the land back and
now charging the locals. So and that's not fair.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, it is not so slimmy Ontario.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Great to hear from you, yuddy. And Terio was a
great candidate that I worked with in CD one and
got to him knowing, got to know him and Leo
very well. He said, he's a trooper and I really
appreciate what he does. He's in an up very upside
down district as well, but he's always positive, he's always
out there and who knows. Hopefully we can overturn his
Assembly district and win. Thank you again, Ontario.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Thank you Ontario for your question.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I understand Fleman I talked to before at the Novete
Republican Club that you had went to Trump's inaucuration in
twenty seventeen. I did, Patricia the only other couple we
know that went there. Patricia and I were also there
before we knew you though.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yes, I also went in twenty twenty four as well.
Twenty twenty five. Excuse me, but unfortunately I didn't get
in and it was too cold to wait in line.
I think it was like thirteen degrees and we were
with some other people, but we had tickets to go
to the inauguration again. The first one was amazing, and
we wouldn't miss the second one for all the tea
in China. And I've been to China. There's a lot
(24:27):
of tea there.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You know in twenty when we went to the inauguration
in twenty seventeen, it was during the time when all
the Democrats said they were going to boycott the inauguration
of Trump, and so we were in California at the time,
so we were able to get tickets from our congress man.
We both were men.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, we had.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And the funny thing was we even though we had
just got married, I hadn't changed my license yet, so
I was able to go to my congress span and
get a ticket, and Garland was able to go to
his hawkersmith and get tickets, so we were able to
go to the inauguration. We had a tour of the Capitol,
we went on the subway that's underneath the capital. I mean,
(25:09):
we just had a wonderful.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Great time.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, I got my tickets from Dean Heller's office, and
I got a tour as well. Got to go to
the subway or the little train through from the Senate
Building to the Capitol. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, that is. I would recommend that anyone that can go,
they need to go to the Capitol and just take
it all in. They need to go to DC and
take it all in. There's a lot to see there,
particularly now that Trump has cleaned it up.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
It's a lot safer now.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Oh. Absolutely. As soon as he went down that escalator
in twenty fifteen, I said, that's that's my man, right,
their businessman. He gets it. He's going to get stuff done.
And look look what's happening. Now he's getting stuff done.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, so you know, it's probably a badge of honor
to say that you voted for him three times, Alies,
I did. I voted for him three times.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Absolutely too bad. We're not Democrats. We can say we
voted firm thirty times.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So anyway, let's see. So you said that most Europeans
do not like Trump, but they only they get their
news from liberal sources, so we don't they don't hear
or see any of the great things that he's doing
or why he's doing these things. And particularly I believe
(26:23):
that the Europeans do not like him because they Trump
wants them to pay their fair share of NATO.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Well, actually I was there in June, and that's fresh
when the whole Greenland thing was coming up, and they
really didn't like him back then. But I just got
back a few days ago, and it seems to be
the warming up a little bit more, just to depending
who you talk to, just because now they know he
used a little safer now because now all these countries
were spending money that they should be, Trump's got them
(26:50):
to spend more money. I think it was only five countries.
I believe the United States was one of them that
was paying their full share. They're full two percent. Before
you had countries like Germany that wasn't even paying one percent.
Now they're all paying up to five percent. So they're
starting to say okay, because they're really worried about Ukraine
and Russia works. That's their that's their neighbor, and so
they don't want to spilling over to Europe. So now
(27:11):
that the Trump has got them to spend more money,
they're a little bit more. I would say, let's listen
to what Trump has to say.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It's amazing that they actually agreed a long time ago
to do two percent of their GDP on national defense, right,
and they weren't even hit it. Very few were hitting that.
And now it was supposed to be up to five percent.
Just say no, Canada still doesn't even hit the two percent. Yeah,
I'm not saying thing that's Canada.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
But and our number is seven zero two two to one,
seven two eighty three. Call in to join the conversation.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, don't forget the Conservative town hall in north West Vegas.
It's eleven forty five to one thirty on one eight
seven zero West Craig Road in north West Vegas. It's
a no lunch. That means that you can order and
have anything you want to, but you have to pay
for it. The next meeting is October second. It's always
the first Thursday of every month. Our main speaker this
(28:12):
time is dtr Ri Nake. You don't want to miss it.
You can also meet Patricia myself in person since we're
the founders and the co hosts.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So you know, Fleming Garlotte came up with this rubrit
for so lefting strong Republican candidates. So I'll let you
see it. But can you, off the top of your head,
can you tell us what do you think would make
a good yes Republican candidate for City one?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Well, I think you really need to look at the
makeup of the district because I think what you have
to do you have to try to elect the most
conservative candidate that could win in that particular district. So
CD one is partisan cook Partisan voter Index D plus
three so basically means their negative six percent. So we
(29:03):
can't have a candidate that's hardcore because bottom line is,
you're going to have to have Democrats vote for you
to win unless you're gonna have just an amazing amount
of Republicans that show up, you know, eighty ninety percent
that show up to vote, which is not realistic. So
you got to look at a candidate that actually beat
the Democrat, not who's the most conservative or you or
(29:27):
you agree with the most because sometimes I don't even
agree with my wife on everything. Why would I agree
on a politician on everything?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Does she know that?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I think she does know that. After twenty six, twenty
five years, I think she does know that. But it's
very important to find a candidate that could beat the Democrat.
And I thought, for example, that I ran in twenty
twenty four for CD one. Unfortunately didn't make it past
the primary, but I thought I was a better candidate
because I had the culinary experience. When I ran for Assembly,
(29:57):
I went and talked to the culinary Unit members, you know,
and I could relate to them because I've been I've
walked in their shoes, I've been where they're going, and
so I think it's very I think it's important to
find a candidate that's relatable to your constituents.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
However, the culinary Union is primarily democratic, so how did
you try to impress upon them your experience as a businessman?
And working your way up in that business. How did
that relate to them as far as translating.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
To vote, Well, I've been where they're going, so you know,
I've walked in their shoes, and so I think it's
important for people to understand that. And so I think
I was able to relay that to them and I
earned their vote. They've first of all, there's never been
a single Republican. They never knocked on some of these doors.
They would tell me like, I'd never even see a Republican.
But just because you came to my house and voting
(30:55):
for you, and it showed to the Assembly that that's
why we did so well, because we folks on the
Democrats that are really Republicans, like Hispanics are really Republicans,
they just don't know it.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
And so if they have the same values of fay,
family and freedom, and they just need to be more
aware of what they have in common with the Republicans
versus the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Right, And I think we have a good candidate in
CD one. Now. I'm supporting Carrie Buck. She's a phenomenal candidate.
She's a state senator, she's she's she was actually one
or two Republicans that outperformed Trump in the last election cycle,
so so she outperformed by it, I think five and
a half percent, which is important because she's got to
be able to reach across the table to the Democrats
(31:42):
and say, okay, you need to vote for me because
we've got to We've got to protect Trump's lead in
the House, and he's only got a three member majority,
I believe, and traditionally usually lose losing the midterm, so
it's so important that we could flip these kind of districts,
but we need a candidate that can actually have proven us.
She's proven oursuff twice now, so in an upside down district.
(32:03):
Her district was upside down in twenty twenty, I believe,
since she ran, and now twenty twenty four when she
won again, it was right around borderline Republican Democrat was
about even. So I think she's a great candidate. She's
a wonderful person. She's a you know, great mom, great
state senator for us, and I think she'll represent us
(32:24):
well in Washington, DC and hold the House. Most importantly,
hold the House, so we'd hold all the committees, so
we don't have this bs crap about coming after Trump
and impeaching him and all that kind of stuff. So
it's important for our constituents to understand, please vote for
a candidate that could win in that district.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
And we want to give out the email at TWAC

Speaker 1 (34:42):
And this is Patricia Brinkley and we're here with our
guests fleming' larson, who is a former candidate for Assembly
and for Congress. And we just like to know Flemy
from your perspective. Tell us what you look for in
a candidate that you're going to vote for. Say somebody
say running for CD one. What are you looking for
(35:06):
that's going to say tell you that this is the
person I'm going to vote for them?
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Well, I'm looking past the primaries and I'm looking at
the general, so I look at a candidate who could
actually beat Dina Titis and CD one. And that's why
I'm backing Carrie Buck. You know, she's a former school teacher,
former principal. I think she's got the goods, she's proven herself.
Everybody who's in the in the race now has never
won a single election before, and so I think it's
(35:31):
important that you have experience. And I think she's a
She's a candidate that could beat Denatitis or at least
give us a very good shot at.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It is it? Did Dina Titus say ex professor or teacher?
Speaker 3 (35:45):
I think she's the ex principal or form and I
would say ex former right, former principal.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Okay, we have our caller back. Hello caller? Is this my.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (35:59):
Hi, this is Mike. Is that better or sorry about
the bad connection?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Yes, it's better. So you wanted to answer our question
of the day.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Yeah. My opinion on the reason why they are fighting
so hard is because Democrats thrive when they're in a
closed area where they don't where their people don't have
the comparison to see how things can work if they're
actually functioning properly. So when Trump went into DC, the
(36:30):
worst thing that could happen to the Democrats was when
Mayor Bowser actually praised him and asked him to say yes, yes.
And so now if you notice, once that happened, they
amped up the screaming because now they're afraid that their
own people will see, Okay, this is what a safe
neighborhood actually looks like. We're about to make a change.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Mm hmm, good point, Mike, Thank you, Mike. Anything else
you want to add.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
To that, just the simple fact that it would be
nice if something could happen here, Because I know a
lot of the Union people, especially the ones that worked
the convention and the leadership is totally sold out to
the Democrats. But three quarters of the rank and file
(37:16):
actually voted for Trump.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, that's true. So we're seeing a shift in the
Unions for Trump during that last election.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
So, yes, we're definitely seeing a shift in the actual
personnel of the Union's that's where it starts.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yes, Yes, Unfortunately hasn't trickled down to the state Senate candidates,
Assembly candidates. Unfortunately. Like I had a gentleman working at
my house. He's a Democrat and he voted for Trump
and voted you know, strictly Democrats down the line.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yeah, I don't believe people were told that they need
to vote down ballot Republicans, so that's why they wanted
to make sure they've v for Trump no matter what.
So thank you Mike for that call.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Call in with your questions on seven oh two two
to one, seven two eighty three. We encourage you to
call in because we want to hear you. We want
you to engage with our guests. This is your chance
to ask them what you want to know and also
find out more about Patricia and myself. You can actually
(38:28):
ask Alexa for those younger people who know what that is,
to tell her to go to KSHP fourteen hundred am
and she'll actually do that and you can hear it
on Aleksha. Don't forget to visit excuse me the Trump
Store at twenty two to twenty Paradise Road. It's open
from ten to eight.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
And so as we are winding down Fleming, is there
any final thoughts or comments or announcements you want to make?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Any announcements. I'm staying out of the twenty twenty six
political realm. I'm going to help candidates get over the
top and hopefully save our state and help our help
Trump with another congressional seat here from Nevada, So maybe
twenty eight, who knows. I'll keep that open.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
So when you said you want to help the candidates,
besides providing volunteers and any financial support, what else do
you do for the candidates? Do you help them as
far as not as a campaign manager, but do you
point them in the right direction about as far as
public speaking or demeanor or appearances anywhere. Do you do
(39:42):
any of that type of assistance for the candidate.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I will be it's a little early at this particular point.
It'll probably start ramping up in January. Go speak on
certain candidates, go help them out. You know, obviously donations
is huge. These candidates need money. It's nothing's free out there.
So if you could donate ten dollars, twenty dollars, one
thousand dollars, seven thousand dollars, whatever the case may be,
(40:06):
we really need These candidates really need money. I was
fortunate where I was able to kind of, you know,
use my own money to get my campaign going. But
I did have a lot of volunteers, and volunteers is
huge too. Having a core volunteer group is amazing. You
can't do it alone.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yes, and we see some of your volunteers and they're
now running for themselves for all.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Yeah, it's great, so lovely.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
I mean that was the core was fleming and then
the radius with the volunteers, and now they have taken
up the mantle and they're running for Assembly or synec.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah. My congression rates we had about i'd say forty
to fifty hard time or a hardcore volunteers, and then
we probably had another another two hundred three hundred weekend
warriors that went out and walked and knocked on doors
and made phone calls and stuff like that. So it's
important to have a good base of volunteers. Yeah, you
have to have that. There's no way you can win
(41:03):
without it. So it's important that a candidate has a
good base.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
So are there any thoughts that you want to share
with any potential candidates out there what they need to
have before they even announced that they're going to run.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
That's a loaded question. I think experience is expensive, and
I think you need to have a little bit of
experience in either business because business acremen really gives you
a good grounded platform to start a campaign because you know,
being in the hospitality business, people says it's heart running
(41:38):
for heart running a campaign. I said, no, not really.
I said, it's a lot of you know, let me say,
in the business, kiss some babies and pat and butts,
you know we see in our business. So really it's
a lot of a lot of doing that, knocking on doors,
talking to people, going to talking to events. Speaking. So
you just got to be if you're really interested in
running for as family candidate or s Face Center candidate
(41:58):
or any any position whatsoever, you've got to give it
a one hundred and teen percent. Don't put one foot in
the pool, and you got to dive in the deep
end and be very very active because there's no way
you'll beat the Democrats if you're not. You work much
harder than they will.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
Well, we like to thank Fleming Lawson for joining us
this evening and giving us his perspective on the campaign.
And we'd like to thank our callers Ontario Brown and
Mike thank you for calling again. And we'd like to
give a final shout out to Arlen from his wife Diane,
wishing him a very happy birthday. And we want to
(42:38):
Thank you listeners. Without you, we would not have this show.
So thank you all, and God bless you, and God
bless America.
In 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 intelligent explanation.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Las Vegas and Nevada, let's talk. Welcome to Talk with
a Conservative. I'm Garland Brinkley, who ran for SIMI District
one in twenty twenty two and again in twenty twenty four.
I'm a slow learner, I'm a retired university professor.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
And I'm Patricia Brinkley and I ran for a Senate
District one in North Las Vegas, and I am an
attorney at law. And welcome to our new season of
Talk with a Conservative. Our telephone number is seven to
zero two two two one seven two eight three, and
if you're unable to get through on the telephone at
(01:04):
seven oh two two two one seven two eight three,
please email your question to Twacradio Show at gmail dot com.
If your question is received before the end of the hour,
we will answer it. If not, we will address it
at the beginning of our next show tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We're joined by special guest Flemy Larson. He's a former
candidate for Simdy I'm sorry at Simity District twelve in
twenty twenty two and for Congressional District one in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
And but before we get to Flemy, we have a
very special shout out from one of our regular listeners
named Diane. Diane is wishing her wonderful husband Arlen a great, big,
beautiful happy birthday shout out from TWAT and she wants
Arlen to know what a blessing he has been to her.
(01:58):
Thank you, Diane, and happy birthday, Arlan birthday again. Our
call in number is seven zero two two two one
seven two eight three or email us at TWAFT Radio
Show at gmail or we're on x as well. And
we just want to remind any candidate who's running if
(02:19):
you would like to be a co host with us,
contact us to learn more details. But before we get
to our special guests Fleming Laarsing, we have a question,
so you feel free to call in with your answer.
But we just want to know why is there so
much resistant to President Trump's action to send the National
(02:40):
Guard to Chicago. Residents have requested it why are liberals,
some old hippies, and the media so against public safety?
Call in with your answer.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It seems like the politicians in Chicago and the state
also are against it. I understand that they're actually putting
garbage structure on the freeway to try and prevent the
National Guard from going in.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, but you know, to me, I believe that we
have these people that are protesting, but they don't live
in the neighborhood. The people in those communities have asked
the president to come to help clean up their city.
So where do these people come from to say, Oh,
he shouldn't be doing this. This is part of his
(03:27):
job to protect the residents and the citizens of America.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
We found out that when the National Guarden went into Washington,
d C. Crime went way down. Less murders, less car jackmans,
less robberies, everything. I would think that any mayor or
governor would like to see that happen.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yes, But to me, I believe because the crime is
not in their neighborhoods, they really don't care about it.
And so maybe that's one of the reasons why they
turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the
cries of their residents. So call in with your own
response to that. So our guest this evening is Fleming Larson.
(04:12):
Fleming is a businessman who moved from California to Nevada
to escape government overreach. And he's a former candidate for
eighty twelve and twenty twenty two along with his wife
April Larson, who ran for Senate District twenty one. They
were the original power couple in Clark County politics. Fleming
(04:34):
also ran again in twenty twenty four for CD one.
So let's welcome Flemy. Thank you for joining us this evening.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Thank you for having me, appreciate being here.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes, yes, so I before we get started, I just
Garland told me that you sold your red firetruck and
that was a vintage for firetruck. And many of you
matter a Senate around the town during the election season
the past two cycles. So tell us about the fire truck.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
About a couple of years ago is in nineteen forty one,
Sandford fire Truck out of New York, Seattle bought it,
refurbished it completely furbished it, took it down to the
frame and rebuilt it and they stopped using it after
about the twenty something years. All the old retirement. All
the old firemen retired and they couldn't drive a stick
(05:21):
shift anymore for some reason. Weird, And so they put
it online and I bought it, and unfortunately it was
just sitting in my warehouse now and just collecting dust.
And I figured a new owner would be uh would
use it more than I would.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Did you have a special name for it, like Bertha
or Abigail?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
No, no special name for it. It was just a special
fire truck to us. And you know, we have a
lot of great memories with it. A lot of parades,
were used in parades and drove it around the neighborhood.
A lot of kids came up, took pictures of it,
went to a lot of car shows.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah. Well, when Garland told.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Me, I feel sad, yeah I did too.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
So, I mean, what do you think about our question
of the day about the resistance of President Trump?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Trying to honestly, it's appalling to be honest with you.
I can't understand why public safety is a partisan issue.
It's just complete its politics. And I just don't understand why.
I think criminals are like fat on a pig, and
when you start to cut the fat out, Uh, the
pigs will cry, we'll scream, and so I think that's
(06:28):
what you're seeing. And I also think you're talking about
people that don't even live in the neighborhoods. They're probably
the George Sower, probably funded by George Soris, brought in
to create to stir bad vibes in the neighborhood. So,
but it's it shouldn't be a public safety the public
safety issues shouldn't be partisan politics.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But remember last year, yes it must have been last year,
either at Florida or Texas, they were sending illegals to
Martha's Vineyard and in not in less than two days,
Martha's Vineyard up their town and they did not have
any more illegals in there.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Weird how that works out. Yes, double standards, Yeah, double standard.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
This is right. So you and your wife April ran
in twenty twenty two. You were the power couple of
Clark County before the Brinkleys. Tell us about that experience.
Running for a political office as a married couple.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Actually was really great because my wife had signed up
first to run for state Senate in a very upside
down district. I think it was like thirty percent. Her
numbers were Republican was a Democrat, and there was an
Assembly seat that was open, and I was going to
go everywhere with her. I was going to go to
Carson City. I was gonna you know, we went all
the fundraisers together. We did everything together. So I figured,
(07:44):
let's just sign up and do this together as a
couple and kind of drink the kool aid. My district
was only like negative twenty two, wasn't quite as bad
as hers, and we ended up doing a very good job.
We actually, uh April and I actually performed better than
any one in the state of Nevada. We had more
independence and Democrats to vote for us, and we got
really really close. I was actually up at election night
(08:08):
and lost by three hundred and something votes. Four days
later when all the mail in ballots came in.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Were you asked to cure any ballots at that.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Time, Yeah, I had about seventy five or eighty ballots
and need to be cured, and we cured those. We
tried to cure them within a couple of days, but
the Democrats had double that, so I'm sure they cured theirs.
And that's where the numbers grew as well. I mean,
before the election I was getting about forty percent of
the mail in ballots, which makes sense, right, Republican get forty,
(08:38):
Democrats getting sixty. But after the election day I only
got ten percent of the mail in ballots, So kind
of fishy.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
If you ask me, well, do you think that they
knew how many ballots they needed to overcome your victory?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's sure is
kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I did notice, for example, that there's organizations that will
supply walkers and knock on doors, and you can spend
you know, fifty sixty thousand to do that, and they'll
bustle in and the last week or so they'll go
around knocking on doors and trying to get ballots. Do
you think that may have happened to you?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Oh? Absolutely. My opponents spend almost ten times more than
I did. You know, we did we we walked the neighborhoods,
we made phone calls. I had a great core of
volunteers that stood by me, and we just did it
the old fashioned way. And then we spent about thirty
five forty thousand dollars and they spent three hundred and
(09:38):
fifty thousand dollars They knew I was coming up behind
them and about to take that you know, very blue district,
and they didn't want that to happen. They actually called
in at the time Governor Si Silac Dino Titis other
assembly people to start walking just in eighty twelve, which
before was a you know, a given for the for
the for the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Now you guys used golf cards to drive around.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yeah, we had to maximize our ability, you know, because
some of the areas in the east side where eighty
twelve was, uh you know, there was you know, eight
home Democrat homes and then one Republican home. So we
need we need to be able to reach those, especially
in the primary, reach those Republicans a little bit quicker
these callers.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Our number is seven zero two two two one seven
two eight three. Please call in and join the conversation.
And we just want to remind you if you missed
our Conservative town hall of lath of North Las Vegas
last week, you missed a great event. We celebrated our
two year anniversary and we had our speaker was Alex
(10:44):
Slack who spoke about the Constitution and as you know,
Constitution Day is September seventeenth, We are so thankful for
all the people that attended our event last week to
help us celebrate. And just remember on October second, it
is our next town hall and we will have doctor r.
Red Nagy. He's a brain surgeon and he's a candidate
(11:07):
for CD three. Again. Our number is seven zero two
two two one seven two eight three.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I expect I'm going to put that on speed dial
so you can call in.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So last time Garland had a little I guess it
was a contest or what was it, garld Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, yeah. So I did a survey in the last
primary before the primary was over for Republicans running in
Clark County that were had opposition, so you had more
than two one Republican in each race. So it's like Patrician,
I went, but we had no opponents, no Republican opponents,
(11:47):
And so I did that survey handed out to active Republicans,
so places like the Republican Club, I had it out there,
various events like that, and it turns out that this
guy Fleming Larson just nailed it, I mean big time.
He only missed one because like over nineteen races, he
picked eighteen correct and the one he missed was my
(12:11):
own yes, and it's like that's so astute. It's like,
I mean, has to have one of the most acute
minds here in Northwest in Clark County.

You're tuned into Talk with a Conservative. Were recent still
rules and free speech still matters?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's time to cut through the noise and get back
to ifar really matters, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So we're here with our guests, Fleming Larsen, and our
call in number is seven zero two two two one
seven two eight three. Before we went to break, we
were talking about Fleming's running for the CD one and
if you can just share with the audience what we
were just talking about during the break, about you know
(13:57):
what happened to you and then you try to help
the other candidates that were in the Assembly and the Senate,
and just can you expound on that.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Well, I'll go back to the Assembly when I won
or excuse me, I won the primary in the Assembly,
but I lost in general. Like I said, I outperformed
every single Republican in the state of Nevada. I had
more independence of Democrats vote for me. They said, okay,
we need you to run for Congress. So I started
running for Congress. But the idea was the time was
to save our state. Nevada was deep blue at the time.
(14:27):
We were super minority in the Assembly, we were one
vote away from being super minority in the Senate, and
I felt I was the best candidate to help some
of these candidates over the top. In CD one. There
was about four districts that I was focusing on, especially
if I'd won the primary. I was gonna spend a
lot of money. I put a lot of my own
(14:47):
money into the campaign, and I was going to help
these candidates get over the top. Unfortunately, I didn't win
the primary. Six weeks before the election, I got severely
sick and had to kind of step back a little bit,
and my campaign went kind of kind of overdrive. Thank god,
I had a lot of good volunteers that kind of
stepped up the plate. But you know, I was a
candidate and I couldn't be out there last six we
(15:08):
see election.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So you were very active with the other candidates for
the lower races, I guess simply and like that very active.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I think that you know, if they win, I would
have won. And so my goal was to you know,
being a restaurant tour and having a lot of employees,
you know, hundreds of hundreds of employees at a time,
tens of thousands over the course of thirty years, you
got to be able to work together with people. And
I felt these four assembly districts that we could have flipped.
(15:37):
I was really focused on on helping them win. So
we can get out of the super minority and possibly
even get the majority in Carson City. Because I moved
to the state thirteen years ago. I'm a recovering California
and I saw exactly what California has become over the
last thirty five years in business. The trajectory has gone
so fast. So when when the Democrats took the super
(16:00):
majority in twenty twelve in California in the Senate the Assembly,
I said, I'm out of here. I couldn't take this
anymore because I saw the down trajectory.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, you mentioned your businessman. You are a very successful
business man, and you started working at the age of fifteen.
You work in your family business is.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Full time, that's a butcher.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah. And then by the age of nineteen you were able.
You had enough hours that you actually became a butchery. Yeah.
And so in your twenties you decided to go a
different direction and open a restaurant and you ended up
with a chain. Can you tell us about that.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well, in the early nineties, you know, I was going
to work at five, six o'clock in the morning, working,
you know, twelve hour days a cold back room, cutting meat,
and it wasn't a very good opportunity for my love
life and working weekend. So I figured what can I
do that I could scale a business and grow a business.
(16:58):
And I thought the meatia industry is really changing in
the nineties until the Atkins diet came out the late nineties.
Then all of a sudden meat became healthy again. But
it was it was time to change my industry, and
I figure out what can I do? In restaurants was
the industry that I picked, and in ninety ninety two,
right around there, open my first restaurant, and I've had
dozens since then, sold on different concepts between bakeries, Deli's,
(17:22):
fifties diners, barbecue, steakhouses, and now I own a chain
of steakhouses and.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
They're all in California. Nothing here in Nevada.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
They're all in Comifornia.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
OK.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah. So, as a successful business owner in the hospitality
and restaurant industry, what is your take on the de
klanie economy in Nevada based on the current what we
used to going on with the casinos right now?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Well, I think I heard a report the other day
that they made last year same quarter was like two
billion dollars I'm just throwing it out there. I'm not
quite sure how much it is, but now they made
one point eight billion, so that really decline. I mean
they've been over fed. It's been over banked the last
three or four years because of COVID. I've seen it
in my business. Uh, you know, the money's run out
(18:08):
and so people don't have expenditures anymore. I mean I
go to the strip all the time and it's it's
jam packed. But I also think the casinos have got
a little greedy, especially with locals. You know, we know
that look at all look at the sun Says Station casino.
They're showing record profit. You know, they know they don't
chart for parking. Their food is more reasonable. You know.
I'll go to the wind and you know, steak starts
(18:29):
at like ninety dollars. Now it's the craziest thing, and
they charge you for parking. So I think they need
to kind of revisit the local business because it's a
big business here and sun Sets Station has really kind
of shown the way it should be.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Okay. Our email is TWAC Radio Show at gmail dot com,
or you can reach us on x at teid. WAC
explanation Mark radio show, and so we want to do
our can shout out for our regular listener, Diane. She's
(19:04):
wishing her husband, her wonderful husband, Arlin, a great, big,
beautiful happy birthday shout out, and she wants Arlene to
know what a blessing he has been to her. So
thank you, Diane, and happy birthday Arlin from the Brinkleys
at Talk with a Conservative.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Absolutely happy birthday, Diane.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And so let's see, you just got back from a
trip to Europe. But you want how many times is she?
Have you been to Europe?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I've been there twice, Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Okay, so you can see firsthand what do the Europeans
think about Americans.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Well, they don't really like us. Ring they don't like
Trump very much. It's unfortunate, and I try to go
to argue the point, but you got to understand they
have very liberal media there, so they only believe what
they hear. And so it's difficult because especially because I'm
from Denmark. You know, my family's from Denmark and Greenland
being Denmark, and you know, Trump says I'm going to
(20:05):
take Denmark and this and that. I'm like, okay, Colear,
horse Clear jets down people of Greenland have to vote
on it and if they want to become part of
the United States. But they just look at it like, oh,
he's just a bully. They don't really like him at all.
So it's difficult talk politics.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
But I thought Denmark was the occupiers, the colonizers of Greenland.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
They are. It's funny how that works, huh.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It is very funny.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, it's kind of ironic.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
But the citizens of Greenland, they were on board would
becoming part of the United States.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I thought, if they vote for it, then they'll be
part of the United States. But if they don't vote
for it, my guests is will stay Denmark because I
watched a lot of when I was over there. They
do a lot of interviews from Denmark and the excuse me,
from Greenland, and their polls are not showing that they
want to be part of the United States.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay, okay, But for America to obtain Greenland as a
state would be a military coup for them because they
need that strategic area of Greenland. Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I believe. I'm not a military expert, but I believe
that's what Trump is saying, and I believe them. But
at the same time, you know we need Greenland needs
to vote on it and if they want to be
prior to the United States and feel safe, I mean
they're pretty safe country now, but they would have to
vote on it.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I understand that Canada, three provinces of Canada want to
join the United States.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
That doesn't surprise me at all.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Do we know which ones? They're the ones we want?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It's like British comment, Yeah, there it is.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
We don't want more liberals.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Oh no, no, well Vancouver, could I guess fall into
the ocean that would be okay, Yeah, but it's the main.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Is it like that?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I want to say, British Columbia, Alberta. I can't remember
what they are, but they call it the Texas of Canada.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Thank your producing, have a collar. Welcome caller. What is
your name and what is your quest?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Hello? Everyone? Everyone is as Terry o'brown. How y'all doing?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
What's your question? Ontario?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Oh? I just wanted to say it's good to hear
from Fleming tonight and his observation of supporting us and
the last candidacy, and we are still pushing along his
vision to win these seats in the state Assembly as
as well as in the state, because we do need
to take our district back and get the party back
(22:36):
in line to move some of these agendas that are
being overrun by the Democrats. I just want to say,
you know, I believe in what we're doing is on
the right track to which with Larson started and if
we continue that vision with new candidates that we have
(22:58):
out here, we will get something holding in the right direction.
Especially as he said, the casino owners have gotten greedy
and that's because of COVID dem question just to cut
you down, to cut you down, and the reflection of
what happened on the bottom because they had to sail
to land and now they're leasing the land back and
now charging the locals. So and that's not fair.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, it is not so slimmy Ontario.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Great to hear from you, yuddy. And Terio was a
great candidate that I worked with in CD one and
got to him knowing, got to know him and Leo
very well. He said, he's a trooper and I really
appreciate what he does. He's in an up very upside
down district as well, but he's always positive, he's always
out there and who knows. Hopefully we can overturn his
Assembly district and win. Thank you again, Ontario.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Thank you Ontario for your question.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I understand Fleman I talked to before at the Novete
Republican Club that you had went to Trump's inaucuration in
twenty seventeen. I did, Patricia the only other couple we
know that went there. Patricia and I were also there
before we knew you though.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yes, I also went in twenty twenty four as well.
Twenty twenty five. Excuse me, but unfortunately I didn't get
in and it was too cold to wait in line.
I think it was like thirteen degrees and we were
with some other people, but we had tickets to go
to the inauguration again. The first one was amazing, and
we wouldn't miss the second one for all the tea
in China. And I've been to China. There's a lot
(24:27):
of tea there.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You know in twenty when we went to the inauguration
in twenty seventeen, it was during the time when all
the Democrats said they were going to boycott the inauguration
of Trump, and so we were in California at the time,
so we were able to get tickets from our congress man.
We both were men.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, we had.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
And the funny thing was we even though we had
just got married, I hadn't changed my license yet, so
I was able to go to my congress span and
get a ticket, and Garland was able to go to
his hawkersmith and get tickets, so we were able to
go to the inauguration. We had a tour of the Capitol,
we went on the subway that's underneath the capital. I mean,
(25:09):
we just had a wonderful.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Great time.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, I got my tickets from Dean Heller's office, and
I got a tour as well. Got to go to
the subway or the little train through from the Senate
Building to the Capitol. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, that is. I would recommend that anyone that can go,
they need to go to the Capitol and just take
it all in. They need to go to DC and
take it all in. There's a lot to see there,
particularly now that Trump has cleaned it up.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
It's a lot safer now.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Oh. Absolutely. As soon as he went down that escalator
in twenty fifteen, I said, that's that's my man, right,
their businessman. He gets it. He's going to get stuff done.
And look look what's happening. Now he's getting stuff done.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, so you know, it's probably a badge of honor
to say that you voted for him three times, Alies,
I did. I voted for him three times.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Absolutely too bad. We're not Democrats. We can say we
voted firm thirty times.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So anyway, let's see. So you said that most Europeans
do not like Trump, but they only they get their
news from liberal sources, so we don't they don't hear
or see any of the great things that he's doing
or why he's doing these things. And particularly I believe
(26:23):
that the Europeans do not like him because they Trump
wants them to pay their fair share of NATO.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Well, actually I was there in June, and that's fresh
when the whole Greenland thing was coming up, and they
really didn't like him back then. But I just got
back a few days ago, and it seems to be
the warming up a little bit more, just to depending
who you talk to, just because now they know he
used a little safer now because now all these countries
were spending money that they should be, Trump's got them
(26:50):
to spend more money. I think it was only five countries.
I believe the United States was one of them that
was paying their full share. They're full two percent. Before
you had countries like Germany that wasn't even paying one percent.
Now they're all paying up to five percent. So they're
starting to say okay, because they're really worried about Ukraine
and Russia works. That's their that's their neighbor, and so
they don't want to spilling over to Europe. So now
(27:11):
that the Trump has got them to spend more money,
they're a little bit more. I would say, let's listen
to what Trump has to say.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It's amazing that they actually agreed a long time ago
to do two percent of their GDP on national defense, right,
and they weren't even hit it. Very few were hitting that.
And now it was supposed to be up to five percent.
Just say no, Canada still doesn't even hit the two percent. Yeah,
I'm not saying thing that's Canada.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
But and our number is seven zero two two to one,
seven two eighty three. Call in to join the conversation.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, don't forget the Conservative town hall in north West Vegas.
It's eleven forty five to one thirty on one eight
seven zero West Craig Road in north West Vegas. It's
a no lunch. That means that you can order and
have anything you want to, but you have to pay
for it. The next meeting is October second. It's always
the first Thursday of every month. Our main speaker this
(28:12):
time is dtr Ri Nake. You don't want to miss it.
You can also meet Patricia myself in person since we're
the founders and the co hosts.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So you know, Fleming Garlotte came up with this rubrit
for so lefting strong Republican candidates. So I'll let you
see it. But can you, off the top of your head,
can you tell us what do you think would make
a good yes Republican candidate for City one?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Well, I think you really need to look at the
makeup of the district because I think what you have
to do you have to try to elect the most
conservative candidate that could win in that particular district. So
CD one is partisan cook Partisan voter Index D plus
three so basically means their negative six percent. So we
(29:03):
can't have a candidate that's hardcore because bottom line is,
you're going to have to have Democrats vote for you
to win unless you're gonna have just an amazing amount
of Republicans that show up, you know, eighty ninety percent
that show up to vote, which is not realistic. So
you got to look at a candidate that actually beat
the Democrat, not who's the most conservative or you or
(29:27):
you agree with the most because sometimes I don't even
agree with my wife on everything. Why would I agree
on a politician on everything?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Does she know that?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I think she does know that. After twenty six, twenty
five years, I think she does know that. But it's
very important to find a candidate that could beat the Democrat.
And I thought, for example, that I ran in twenty
twenty four for CD one. Unfortunately didn't make it past
the primary, but I thought I was a better candidate
because I had the culinary experience. When I ran for Assembly,
(29:57):
I went and talked to the culinary Unit members, you know,
and I could relate to them because I've been I've
walked in their shoes, I've been where they're going, and
so I think it's very I think it's important to
find a candidate that's relatable to your constituents.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
However, the culinary Union is primarily democratic, so how did
you try to impress upon them your experience as a businessman?
And working your way up in that business. How did
that relate to them as far as translating.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
To vote, Well, I've been where they're going, so you know,
I've walked in their shoes, and so I think it's
important for people to understand that. And so I think
I was able to relay that to them and I
earned their vote. They've first of all, there's never been
a single Republican. They never knocked on some of these doors.
They would tell me like, I'd never even see a Republican.
But just because you came to my house and voting
(30:55):
for you, and it showed to the Assembly that that's
why we did so well, because we folks on the
Democrats that are really Republicans, like Hispanics are really Republicans,
they just don't know it.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
And so if they have the same values of fay,
family and freedom, and they just need to be more
aware of what they have in common with the Republicans
versus the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Right, And I think we have a good candidate in
CD one. Now. I'm supporting Carrie Buck. She's a phenomenal candidate.
She's a state senator, she's she's she was actually one
or two Republicans that outperformed Trump in the last election cycle,
so so she outperformed by it, I think five and
a half percent, which is important because she's got to
be able to reach across the table to the Democrats
(31:42):
and say, okay, you need to vote for me because
we've got to We've got to protect Trump's lead in
the House, and he's only got a three member majority,
I believe, and traditionally usually lose losing the midterm, so
it's so important that we could flip these kind of districts,
but we need a candidate that can actually have proven us.
She's proven oursuff twice now, so in an upside down district.
(32:03):
Her district was upside down in twenty twenty, I believe,
since she ran, and now twenty twenty four when she
won again, it was right around borderline Republican Democrat was
about even. So I think she's a great candidate. She's
a wonderful person. She's a you know, great mom, great
state senator for us, and I think she'll represent us
(32:24):
well in Washington, DC and hold the House. Most importantly,
hold the House, so we'd hold all the committees, so
we don't have this bs crap about coming after Trump
and impeaching him and all that kind of stuff. So
it's important for our constituents to understand, please vote for
a candidate that could win in that district.
Speaker 1 (32:45):

Speaker 1 (34:42):
And this is Patricia Brinkley and we're here with our
guests fleming' larson, who is a former candidate for Assembly
and for Congress. And we just like to know Flemy
from your perspective. Tell us what you look for in
a candidate that you're going to vote for. Say somebody
say running for CD one. What are you looking for
(35:06):
that's going to say tell you that this is the
person I'm going to vote for them?
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Well, I'm looking past the primaries and I'm looking at
the general, so I look at a candidate who could
actually beat Dina Titis and CD one. And that's why
I'm backing Carrie Buck. You know, she's a former school teacher,
former principal. I think she's got the goods, she's proven herself.
Everybody who's in the in the race now has never
won a single election before, and so I think it's
(35:31):
important that you have experience. And I think she's a
She's a candidate that could beat Denatitis or at least
give us a very good shot at.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It is it? Did Dina Titus say ex professor or teacher?
Speaker 3 (35:45):
I think she's the ex principal or form and I
would say ex former right, former principal.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Okay, we have our caller back. Hello caller? Is this my.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (35:59):
Hi, this is Mike. Is that better or sorry about
the bad connection?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Yes, it's better. So you wanted to answer our question
of the day.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Yeah. My opinion on the reason why they are fighting
so hard is because Democrats thrive when they're in a
closed area where they don't where their people don't have
the comparison to see how things can work if they're
actually functioning properly. So when Trump went into DC, the
(36:30):
worst thing that could happen to the Democrats was when
Mayor Bowser actually praised him and asked him to say yes, yes.
And so now if you notice, once that happened, they
amped up the screaming because now they're afraid that their
own people will see, Okay, this is what a safe
neighborhood actually looks like. We're about to make a change.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Mm hmm, good point, Mike, Thank you, Mike. Anything else
you want to add.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
To that, just the simple fact that it would be
nice if something could happen here, Because I know a
lot of the Union people, especially the ones that worked
the convention and the leadership is totally sold out to
the Democrats. But three quarters of the rank and file
(37:16):
actually voted for Trump.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, that's true. So we're seeing a shift in the
Unions for Trump during that last election.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
So, yes, we're definitely seeing a shift in the actual
personnel of the Union's that's where it starts.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yes, Yes, Unfortunately hasn't trickled down to the state Senate candidates,
Assembly candidates. Unfortunately. Like I had a gentleman working at
my house. He's a Democrat and he voted for Trump
and voted you know, strictly Democrats down the line.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yeah, I don't believe people were told that they need
to vote down ballot Republicans, so that's why they wanted
to make sure they've v for Trump no matter what.
So thank you Mike for that call.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Call in with your questions on seven oh two two
to one, seven two eighty three. We encourage you to
call in because we want to hear you. We want
you to engage with our guests. This is your chance
to ask them what you want to know and also
find out more about Patricia and myself. You can actually
(38:28):
ask Alexa for those younger people who know what that is,
to tell her to go to KSHP fourteen hundred am
and she'll actually do that and you can hear it
on Aleksha. Don't forget to visit excuse me the Trump
Store at twenty two to twenty Paradise Road. It's open
from ten to eight.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
And so as we are winding down Fleming, is there
any final thoughts or comments or announcements you want to make?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Any announcements. I'm staying out of the twenty twenty six
political realm. I'm going to help candidates get over the
top and hopefully save our state and help our help
Trump with another congressional seat here from Nevada, So maybe
twenty eight, who knows. I'll keep that open.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
So when you said you want to help the candidates,
besides providing volunteers and any financial support, what else do
you do for the candidates? Do you help them as
far as not as a campaign manager, but do you
point them in the right direction about as far as
public speaking or demeanor or appearances anywhere. Do you do
(39:42):
any of that type of assistance for the candidate.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I will be it's a little early at this particular point.
It'll probably start ramping up in January. Go speak on
certain candidates, go help them out. You know, obviously donations
is huge. These candidates need money. It's nothing's free out there.
So if you could donate ten dollars, twenty dollars, one
thousand dollars, seven thousand dollars, whatever the case may be,
(40:06):
we really need These candidates really need money. I was
fortunate where I was able to kind of, you know,
use my own money to get my campaign going. But
I did have a lot of volunteers, and volunteers is
huge too. Having a core volunteer group is amazing. You
can't do it alone.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yes, and we see some of your volunteers and they're
now running for themselves for all.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Yeah, it's great, so lovely.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
I mean that was the core was fleming and then
the radius with the volunteers, and now they have taken
up the mantle and they're running for Assembly or synec.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah. My congression rates we had about i'd say forty
to fifty hard time or a hardcore volunteers, and then
we probably had another another two hundred three hundred weekend
warriors that went out and walked and knocked on doors
and made phone calls and stuff like that. So it's
important to have a good base of volunteers. Yeah, you
have to have that. There's no way you can win
(41:03):
without it. So it's important that a candidate has a
good base.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
So are there any thoughts that you want to share
with any potential candidates out there what they need to
have before they even announced that they're going to run.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
That's a loaded question. I think experience is expensive, and
I think you need to have a little bit of
experience in either business because business acremen really gives you
a good grounded platform to start a campaign because you know,
being in the hospitality business, people says it's heart running
(41:38):
for heart running a campaign. I said, no, not really.
I said, it's a lot of you know, let me say,
in the business, kiss some babies and pat and butts,
you know we see in our business. So really it's
a lot of a lot of doing that, knocking on doors,
talking to people, going to talking to events. Speaking. So
you just got to be if you're really interested in
running for as family candidate or s Face Center candidate
(41:58):
or any any position whatsoever, you've got to give it
a one hundred and teen percent. Don't put one foot in
the pool, and you got to dive in the deep
end and be very very active because there's no way
you'll beat the Democrats if you're not. You work much
harder than they will.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
Well, we like to thank Fleming Lawson for joining us
this evening and giving us his perspective on the campaign.
And we'd like to thank our callers Ontario Brown and
Mike thank you for calling again. And we'd like to
give a final shout out to Arlen from his wife Diane,
wishing him a very happy birthday. And we want to
(42:38):
Thank you listeners. Without you, we would not have this show.
So thank you all, and God bless you, and God
bless America.
