🎙️ T.W.A.C. Season 2 – Episode 26🎙️ “A Vote for Accountability: Nancy Roecker on Education, Safety & Nevada’s Future”
🎙️ Hosted by Garland Brinkey, Ph.D. & Patricia Brinkey, Esq.
Open Conversation with Intelligent Explanation
🧨 This week, the Brinkleys host Nancy “Nan” Roecker, Republican candidate for Nevada Assembly District 12. As a retired software technology professional, mother, and committed Nevadan, Nancy brings a message of accountability, education reform, and public safety to a district in desperate need of change.

David Flippo, USAF, Republican candidate for Nevada’s 4th Congressional District — a father, veteran, pilot, lawyer, and former judge who brings depth and discipline to the discussion. Together with Nancy Roecker, he tackles the real issues shaping Nevada’s future — from restoring trust in government to building stronger communities grounded in freedom, safety, and opportunity..
📌 Affordability & Business Growth: She will fight new taxes, reduce red tape, and foster environments where businesses can thrive.
📌 Strong Schools & Choice: Nancy supports school choice, vocational training, accountability for school boards, and programs to attract better teachers.
📌 Safe Communities: She advocates strengthening law enforcement, stopping the drug flow (especially fentanyl), and toughening criminal justice to protect citizens.
📌 Fiscal Responsibility: Applying her business acumen to state budgeting, she pledges to demand transparency and commonsense spending in Carson City.
📌 Rooted in Service: Having run in the 2024 cycle (winning the GOP primary, narrowly losing the general election) and with a career in tech and leadership, Nancy’s campaign is grounded in both professional experience and personal dedication.

We can perfect, Okay. I just got done with just
got done with a meeting in I was meeting with
the Trump Women, the Federation Women out of pump Night County.
So heading back to Vegas right now. So thanks for
having me. It looks like you got a great guest
there with Nan Roker.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes we do, and so, but before we get to Nan,
we just want to know what your take is on
the question of the day is, what are your thoughts
or comments on President Trump not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Well, I mean, obviously, stopping nine wars isn't enough. I
guess he needed to be able to stop ten.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I guess that's the magic number.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
So you know, you don't have to stop one more
war and then maybe they'll consider him.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Okay, all right, and we'd like to welcome our guest tonight,
Nan Oker, she's running for eighty twelve.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Welcome Nan, Thank you, Patricia and Garland. I love being
here with you. I see you around town. Always brings
a smile to my face, and I'm so happy for
what you do every day to promote conservative causes.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well, thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Thank you very much. To keep talking.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Anyway, our number of callers seven zero two two two
one seven two eighty three. And so then before we
get started, what are your thoughts on the question of
the day about President Trump not winning the Nobel Peace Prize?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
You know, I think he's too much for people who
make decisions like that, and they've got to let it
soak in. So next year I think will be his time,
and who knows what else he's going to do between
now and then, and so it's going to be really
really hard for anyone to stack up to his accomplishments.
But you can't give it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
All to him.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I mean it's the administration, yes, who have a companied
him in the various causes that he's worked on, But.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
There's still Ukraine and Russia. And also I don't think
people really realize how much he's done on the We
call it the President for Peace because he broke a
peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda,
and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Egypt,
(07:26):
in Ethiopia, Serbia and Koshovo. And he also had the
Abraham Accords from his first.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Administration.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, it's like all that and he didn't get it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But you know what, there's only been one US president
that has won the Nobel Peace Prize. And does anyone
want to get to take a gander who that president was.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Well, we were talking about that earlier. It was Obaha.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
No, no, the first no, the first one, first US
president to win the Nobel Peace Prize. You should remember this.
This was from our town hall Okay, what's the answer, Rose, Yes,
for what war? I forgot said Japan and Russia. So yes, okay, anyway,
(08:19):
and so that's what you this kind of entertainment you
get at the town hall, So make sure you come
to our next one on November tewod.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
Well, I loved Trump's his saying, which is promises made
promises Captain?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yes, definitely. So a Nan, you're a guest this even
Are you a native of Nevaden?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
No, I'm not. I was born in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Ok So I'm a Midwesterner. I'm told I don't have
an accent. And I moved to Nevada in twenty nineteen
to join two of my daughters, who I would have
missed terribly had I stayed in Denver, where they were raised.
My son, who's a marine, thank him for his service,
(09:02):
also lives here now, and it brought me closer to
my oldest daughter, who lives in the Bay Area.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Okay, yes, and what part in the Bay area you're
talking to? Bay Area bath be Ware, Lafayette. Okay, we
know it quite well. We love well.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
She's an attorney, her husband is a tech guru.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, we're sorry.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, So your bile states that you are a technology consultant.
Please briefly describe to our listeners exactly what you do
and how long you've been doing it and in that field,
and what your educational level training was to get that job.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Well, I was in the technology field until mid twenty
twenty four when I decided to retire to focus on
my campaign. Over my twenty plus year career in the
software industry, I hired and led both technical and implementation
teams and was a trusted advisor to many business owners
across the country and in fact sometimes across continents. Prior
(10:07):
to that, I held various management positions in the aerospace
and defense industry. My first job actually was with Winchester
and I have an undergraduate degree in marketing and an
NBA and engineering management.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Quite impressive. So, Dave, you can jump in anytime you
want to.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I will.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
I will think we're heading over the mountains.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
We're heading over the mountain into Vegas.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
I might lose.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
You'll have to call you back.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Okay, Okay, So again, our email is Twacradio Show at
gmail dot com, or you can reach us on X
at T T period W period A period c period
radio show on x and on call in number seven
zero two two two one seven two eight three. Come on, folks,
(10:56):
call in. We know the football game is probably born
and so you want to you try to call in
and gets a spice up our show for us. Okay,
So you ran for the state legislator legislation before, correct?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I did in twenty twenty four?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Okay? And what office did you run for.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
The same one I'm running for again, Assembly District twelve.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Okay? And last time you had a primary opponent.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Was I did have a primary opponent, and if I
remember correctly, you interviewed him a week ago.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yes he did.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
He's now running for the Senate district that comprises my
assembly district in one other's.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
So people probably wondering why we have people on our
show that we know. Well, just like in campaign fundraising,
you go through your friends and family first and then
you get other people to come on.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
So, well, can I say a little bit more about that,
because the last time I ran, I lost by less
than one percent. We got out the vote, and I
got in late actually because I had a friend who
was going to run and he had some health issues
and we didn't think that the other person could potentially
(12:07):
win based on previous experience. So I had a bunch
of friends who got together. So talking about friends and
how they support you, they said, we really would like
for you to run, and I said, yes, I'll do it,
but I need you to do this and I need
you to do that. And so I've kept that group together.
And of course this time I've gotten started much much earlier.
(12:29):
So last time I filed the day before filing closed.
This time I've already knocked on over five hundred doors,
and I'm having interactions through community service as well as
focused activities where I can meet my constitutes.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Wonderful, wonderful. So now you're running again for eighty twelve,
and please show if our listeners the boundaries of eighty
twelve so they know whether they know whether they live
in your district.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
It's a very interesting district which was redistrict did in
twenty twenty, so it's jagged and divided geographically. There are
seventeen precincts in Sunrise Manor, which is east of Las Vegas,
south of North Las Vegas. So if everybody knows Sunrise Mountain,
it's that valley underneath it and then the other part
(13:20):
is seven precincts in East Henderson. So from Lake Lake
Las Vegas out to Boulder Highway, but only a strip,
So it takes me forty five minutes on a good
day to drive from where I live to the north
part of my district.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's close. I understand that you're Assembly district overlaps short
Congressional District four.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
It does. So Lake Las Vegas is in CDY four.
It was jerrymandered, and the rest of my district is
in CD one.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And so, Dave, are you since you're actually this running
for CD four, are you? Uh? I say, not just
communicating but.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Working in congenia with with Nan or do you plan to?
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Can you?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah? Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yes, yes, we can hear it.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Yeah, perfect, yeah, No, I'm excited to have Nan running
for that seat. I tell you Lake Las Vegas. You
know NaN's talking about, you know, the forty five minute
drive from the north to the south to Hurst District.
For whatever reason, they've been look Lake Las Vegas into
CD four and then I go all the way up
to Jerrington. So there's about a seven hour drive for
me from north to south.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Uh. And so my disitric is pretty big too.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
But but having people like Nan, uh, you know, running
in that in that district is going to be powerful.
It's gonna be powerful for not just her in the
Senate district that it's gonna be working with her, but
also my congressional district. We need strong conservatives in there.
They can as they can fight and beat our Democrat opponents.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So, Dave, So, Dave, have you considered trying to work
in conjunction with other Assembly or Senate district candidates to
kind of collace your efforts together?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, you know, as we get farther onto this right now,
everybody's kind of running an individual thing right now. It's
you know, shoot, if you look at some of the
other CDs the congressional districts, there's eight or ten people
run into some of those, and you know, getting a
ligned up is really hard.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
I think NaN's done a great job at limiting or field.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Nan. Do you have anybody running against you right now?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Not that I'm aware of, but it's early so that could.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, you have to wait until the last day of filing.
I mean, anybody can jump out of the woodward and file.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Well, yeah, you have to go ahead.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
You have to realize though, like getting in early is
so important.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I learned that when I.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Ran for Assembly. I got in late, and I learned
so much that I'm never going to make that mistake again.
So if there's people out there that are even thinking
about this at this point and they're not already in
knocking on doors, they're they're miles behind the Powre curve.
These races are serious, and you know, whether it's an
assembly district or ascendate district or congressional district, you've got
(16:21):
to start doing the legwork now. Getting in right there
at the filing deadline just doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Well, and it's it's nice weather now, so don't mind
getting out and knocking on doors and just meeting the voters.
It's it's a lot of fun. Some people don't like it,
but I have.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
So how are the voters that you you've knocked on
their doors? I mean to them, it might seem like
it's early to be doing this.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Well, we've been focused on people who either newly registered
as Republicans in my district or changed parties. And interestingly,
you know, we've played around with different times and days
of the year and things like that that it turns
out that Friday mornings are really good because a lot
of people work from home. And the reception has been
(17:08):
absolutely fabulous.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
I've had support from a couple of local groups, the
Nevada Republican Club and the Republican Jewish Coalition, and this
early I have a lot of great volunteers, many of
whom are new, So I'm happy about that.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So a question for you, how do you deal with
a home where you see a no soliciting sign up?
Do you knock anyhow or what do you do?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
You know that it's kind of a game day call
on that sometimes if I know a lot about the household,
and you know, there's different data that you can get
in different technology you can use. If I believe that
they're going to be a friendly and I'm doing that
in air quotes, I may go up there. I mean,
legally it's not considered soliciting, but people who put those
(17:59):
signs up sometimes they're funny and I just want to
see if they'll answer the door. If I hear a
big dog barking and there's you know, bars up, I'm
probably not going to.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Now I understand that you've had one coming out party
if you will. I did, and you're going to have
another one.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Yes, I have one coming up on the twenty fifth,
and it's going to be at Bob Price Park from
eleven to whenever we run out of the awesome tacos
that are going to be provided by one of my constituents.
So it's really just to you know, remind people that
I'm here and get to meet them and hear what's
important to them. And I'll continue to do that. I
(18:35):
actually adopted a school as well in my district up
on Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh. We went to that school to the three a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
But you know, I'm helping out with PTO and other
things there because I love children.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
We have a collar collar. Your name is Hello, Hello
Frank friends.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
How are you? How you guys doing it?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
We will? So do you have a question for our
guest Nan Roker?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yes, that too.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
What is your stance on the Second Amendment and national concealed.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Carry and what are you going to do to get
independent voters to.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Vote for you?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Wow, those are two very different questions. So the Second
Amendment and concealed Carrie, I am pro both of those issues.
I actually have a personal story about where I said
earlier that I had worked at Winchester where a gun
saved my children's father's life and maybe saved theirs as well.
(19:41):
So I you know, thugs are going to get guns
no matter what, and I believe we have the right
to protect ourselves. As far as getting independence out, you
know a lot of people come here with the automatic
registration at the DMV. They don't even realize they're registered
as an independence. So reaching out to them and having
(20:03):
a conversation, many times there's an awakening that actually happens
and they're happy. And I've in my history of working
in politics here which goes back a couple of years
to before when I ran, I find that when you
have an individual conversation with people, sometimes you get them
to say, wow, maybe I should think about switching over.
(20:25):
They often don't know that we have closed primaries and
that they won't be able to vote if they stay independent,
So there's an educational component to it. And then I
am fairly centrist in my beliefs. Now, you can talk
about First Amendment rights or Second Amendment rights sorry as
being controversial, but if it's appropriate, I'll have that conversation
(20:49):
about how it actually saved my family, and I think
that's really important personal stories resonate.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Thank you Frank for your question. And you're listening to
talk with.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You're listening to talk with a conservative, which tradition meets truth?
Stay with us more truth more, in fact, I'm more
straight talk coming up next. I'm Dave. Are you still there?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Hey, I'm here.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
I went through a dead zone there.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
You know, part of the problem with having a district
my big so large. Uh, I'm driving all over so yeah,
pumps in my district. So so setting back from there
and lost you guys through the mountains.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Well you missed. The question from one of our callers
was about uh, concealed carrie too, Yes, in in Nevada,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Reaching out to independent voters.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yes, yes, So what are you what's your response to that?
Because so.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Is the question? Do I agree with? Consider?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, whatever your thoughts and comments are on it.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Oh, okay, I went here and there was a question there.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I am absolutely.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
An agreement with concealed carrier, but actually open carry, I
mean you shouldn't you shouldn't need a license or anything
for either one.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
You know there's states out there that that allow all
of it without.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Any kind of permitting.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I feel a lot safer when I see a lot
of people wearing guns on their hips because I know
that the bad guys aren't gonna be messing with that area.
The problem that we have is when you have these
gun free zones, that's where.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
The criminals tend to hang out.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You know, that's they feel safer there. So you know
up in Alaska, uh, you know, when I lived up there,
everybody was carrying and there's not a lot of crime
up there, So it's pretty good because.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Those guns don't tend to shoot people. It's the actual
people that have something going on between their ears that
end up causing the crime.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
So, if you were to win your race for CD four,
would you support or would you try to introduce a
national concealed carry law so everything would be consistent throughout
the fifty states.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
I would just get up rid of all regulations that
have any regulations to do with guns. You know, then
you wouldn't have to worry about whether you have a
concealed permit or not.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Yeah, when you go from one state to the.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Other, and you have a concealed permit carrying one state
and you go through another state that might not have it.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
You know, what do you do?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You're opening yourself up for a rest because you have
a gun on your hip.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
And you just have to be driving through a state
that has a different rule that you don't even know about.
So I think we just need to get rid of
all the regulations against fire arms.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Now we understand that you have a rally coming up,
miss I think Saturday, October twenty fifth at Covent Cathorey Church.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Absolutely, it's gonna be huge, you know, I hope everybody
can make it out there. Doors open at five point thirty.
The rally is going to start at six point thirty.
If you want the VIP that starts from five point
thirty to six thirty, you'll get private access. With Matt
Gates's coming in, there's probably some two or three other
surprise guests that we're not announcing yet, so you might
(24:29):
get surprised there. But I just got just got endorsed by.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Lauren Bobert, so absolutely, so there's a possibility there.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
So anyway, come to the rally. Let's get excited about
this election, all right. We need to get people pumped.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Up because we have to beat these Democrats and Stephen
Horsford does not represent Nevada and he's aligning with the
bar Left everything that he's doing.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
He couldn't even vote to condemn the fascination of Charlie Kirk.
He could not even find an apartment to condemn that.
So he's no longer representing the BAT and we're gonna get.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Rid of him.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Okay, So our next question for Nan is, according to
your bio, you have three issues in your platform, and
number one is public safety. Have you taken the Las
Vegas Metro Citizens Academy training.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
I haven't, but I have applied for the class that
starts in January of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Okay, because Garland and I took the class that's offered
in North Las Vegas. We took it in twenty twenty two,
and it is so amazing. The information that you're going
to find out about why police do what they do
will help train If you have any question about what
(25:51):
a police officer does when he stops someone, you need
to take one of these classes so you can figure
it out and so you can hear exactly everything is
for the police officer and for the citizen's safety, and
so that's another thing that people need to be made
aware of. But you're going to really enjoy the well.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Interestingly, my district is also covered by Henderson Police. They
offer a similar class and I have some friends who
are on the Police Foundation board, so that's in my
future as well.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Okay, good thing, good thing, But okay public safety. Can
you expound on that with oiur listeners.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Well, there's a couple of pretty major issues. I think
you know, there are people thousands, millions sometimes depending on
what's going on. If it's the F one race who
are in town that don't live in Nevada, They're not residents,
they're tourists, and that causes issues. It just naturally does.
There have been some incidents, I mean, think about October
(26:56):
one and are higher than average accident rate. I mean,
I could go on about current sure, it's all day long.
So you know, you'd also asked about police funding. It's
definitely an issue. I've talked to again, the Metro Police.
I actually went to an event last week that was
up at the school that I adopted, and I've talked
(27:16):
to the Henderson Police and they're all competing for the
same resources. So there's a tendency for people to move
for money, and then there's an issue with recruitment as well.
So you know, we have to respects. As towns are
growing and Henderson is growing very rapidly, that there is
a there's a unique shortage situation and we have to
(27:40):
be careful about that.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Callers, our number is seven zero two to two one
seven two eighty three, Please call in. We have candidates
that come to share with you their platforms about what
they want to do, but they need the feedback from
their constituents, So please call in if you have a question.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Don't forget the Conservative Town Hall of North Las Vegas.
It's eleven to one thirty at eighteen seventy West Craig
Road in North Las Vegas. It's no host lunch. What
that means is you can have anything you want to,
but you have to pay for us. The next meeting
is November sixth It's the first Thursday of every month.
(28:20):
Our main speaker is Dave Marlin. He's actually the co
founder and CEO of Vegas Stronger and so we'll also
have a panel of women bets there to celebrate veterans
stay and so everyone out there knows we've actually had
the chief of police of North Las Vegas speak at
our town hall. We've also had the two assistant police
(28:42):
chiefs speak at our town hall.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Okay, one more question for you now on public safety,
because you also mentioned strengthening and enforcing laws that control
the treatment of criminals and illegal immigrants, can you please
expound on that for.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Our listeners to two separate issues. So I'll talk about
criminals first, and the question I have is why does
Nevada allow theft of up to twelve hundred dollars and
only treated as a misdemeanor. Chalk that up to nrs
two oh five point two four row, which also allows
for sentences of up to six months in jail and
(29:21):
one thousand dollars fine. But the data is only reported andually,
so there isn't a lot of transparency, and it's believed
that less than thirty five percent of all such misdemeanors
also called petit larcenies, are reported arrested, so that encourages
criminals to try to cover legal is immigration. It's tough
(29:43):
for everyone. Ask anyone, and I do have many constituents
who legally immigrated here and they'll tell you it's incredibly
unfair to them who went through spent the time and
money to become legal and to go through the frost.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
But immigration is a federal issue, So how would you
address that on a state level.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Well, it's a good question, and I would say that
it's going to depend on what kind of a legislature
we have in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And also it would depend upon whether people want to
be a sanctuary state or a sanctuary city, you know,
depending upon the legislature.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
So our governor has said that we're not yes, but
our Secretary of State and our attorney general are acting
as if we are. And that's a conflict. And you know,
when it comes to illegal immigrants. And this is a
later question, but I'm going to jump ahead in some respects.
There's a significant shortage of healthcare resources here and that
puts such a strain on people's ability to get good healthcare.
(30:52):
We have an aging population here. We're not a baby
boomer town. We are a baby boomer town, actually, and
it's hard to balance our state budget without delivering services
to those who aren't citizens because we can't officially account
for them.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well, that goes to the shutdown of the federal government.
I mean, the Dems want to have funding for the illegals.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
For help me started on Chuck Schumer his mob.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I mean, it doesn't it doesn't make any sense to me.
Lit can they someone make it makes sense? Callers members
making go ahead day?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
There is no making There is no making sense to it. Actually,
But I want to follow up on what Nan was
saying about, you know, the insurance companies and the and
what they allow crime to miss. The means, you know,
the twelve hundred dollars limit. UH is a small business owner.
This is where it really gets frustrating for me because
guess who. Guess who absorbs the cost of that theft? Right,
small business owner? He's got one hundred one thousand dollars
(31:53):
re deductible. So guess guess who doesn't pay? The insurance companies.
I mean, if you look at what they're putting that number,
they're putting that number at about what the deductibility deductible
is for insurance for a small business. So guess who pays.
The small business owner pays, and you know for in
order for him to make a thousand dollars, he's got
to sell three thousand dollars, So you know, because that's
(32:14):
about what the margins are. So you've got to sell
three thousand dollars worth of product to make to absorb
that one thousand dollars loss that the cops aren't even
going to go after. So we need and I'm glad
to see what NaN's doing. We need people up there,
whether it's the sheriff or whether it's the legislature, that
we need to change that because the crime is a
crime and it doesn't matter. There needs to be consequences
(32:37):
because we're the small businesses are suffering and they're the
ones absorbing the cost of these petty thoughts.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
And one more issue, Nan, in your public safety, because
I rarely hear any candidate state that they want to
address the mental health issues of criminals and the resources
that aren't even a v to address those issues. What
do you plan to do about that?
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Well, I did a lot of research on this topic
because you see it everywhere if you open your eyes.
People are living on the streets, in the washes. People
have drowned living in the washes and have been seriously injured.
So what we need is a couple of things. We
need greater funding, additional facilities, and I'll talk more about
(33:26):
each one of these things. More providers and better schools.
And you might ask why better schools. Well, if we
have better schools, we can get more healthcare resources because
a lot of times the people who are coming here
have children, and that's a decision that they have to make.
There are many other decisions around becoming a healthcare provider
(33:49):
in Nevada, but schools are one of the reasons that
the healthcare providers don't want to move to Nevada. So
in doing my research, I would use Massachusetts as the
model state based on their excellent performance providing mental health solutions.
Let me tell you why. There's a couple of points.
(34:09):
So they have a robust public investment in supportive housing units,
crisis centers, and school based services. Per resident funding is
about twelve percent higher there than it is in Nevada.
And while we focus on community based services, they take
more of a holistic approach. Did you know that eighty
(34:31):
seven percent of Nevada's three point two million residents live
in federally designated mental health professional shortage areas also known
as hpsas. That's tragic.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I mean it's just not mental health, I mean the
whole medical system in Nevada, there's not sufficient number of
professionals to deal with absolutely. Particularly like you said earlier,
we are a state of people retirees maybe, and generally
they require more health services.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
It's a total supply and demand issue totally, all right.
So there's two other points I want to make about this,
about the mental health. So in Massachusetts they have what
they call integrated care models where they have mental health hubs,
which combines providers, hospitals, and treatment centers. This is going
to shock you. They have fifteen providers per one thousand residents,
(35:28):
which leads to high treatment rates, whereas Nevada has less
than three, ranking US forty fifth nationally.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
But I've heard that the reason why Nevada rank so
low is because they are not willing to pay the
providers the level of funding that they require.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
It's a combination of that and other things, because we
have very high health care costs here in terms of
if you're on Medicare and you don't want to have,
you know, a certain kind of programs. So it's not simple.
And going back to the schools, the lowest national ranking
Massachusetts received last year was number three, and our best
(36:13):
was number forty one. Some rank us as lowest forty seven.
We got to fix those problems.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Callers, our number is seven zero two two to one,
seven two eighty three. Join the conversation. So the second
issue on your platform is economic prosperity. Can you explain
them to our listeners? Please?
Speaker 6 (36:34):
Well, I hope I don't offend anyone, but keeping taxes
low may be the only thing between us and becoming
the next California. No disrespect to many of my friends
who are hitting hail from the Golden State, and you
guys are some of that refugee. That's why a lot
of people move here. So we have to protect that
(36:56):
if we want to grow our state, have it be vibrant,
and have people have a good life here. And let
me start with all the good news. So I don't
want to be you know, Debbie Downer or Nancy No,
let me start with all the good news from the
last legislative session. There were some key business related outcomes
that were emphasized, so there were incentives for established companies
(37:19):
to bring higher paying jobs to the state. We got
to increase those workforce supports.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
So Richard, well, can I just interrupt?
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Of course, to bring higher paying jobs. You need to
have a workforce here that is educated to provide the
services for these that.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
That is absolutely true, and you have to recruit them
and you have to retain them. So that was going
to be my next point is retention bonuses, streamlining the
processes for them to become an employee in this state,
and programs for hard to fill positions, whether those are
(38:00):
you know, trade programs. There's a ton of construction here.
We have a lot of construction people, but there's a
room for more electricians, plumbers, things like that. So yes,
that's an important.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
And those type of careers they should be offered to
students in high school so they can go into the trades.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
Couldn't agree with you more. And when you asked me
about education, I'll talk about that. The other thing I
would say is there were some things done to reduce
the barriers to entry for people in neighboring states, so reciprocity,
relaxing of occupational licensing requirements which will help reduce the
healthcare providers shortage. And since Nevada is not very diverse
(38:43):
in terms of industry served, there's some things that were
done there as well. Distribution centers are popping up everywhere.
That's great, but those are not the same level of
pay as things like manufacturing, tech and energy, and that
was the focus of s too. So we need more
more infrastructure improvements, information security. Our state got hacked that
(39:08):
should never happen. An expansion in some of the areas
that I talked about, occupational licensing reforms, regulatory streamlining, more
workforce development, tax credits and incentives. Which leads me to
something that everybody asks about, which is the film industry subsidy.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
And you're listening to talk with a conservative and we'll
catch up with Nan after the commercial.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Thanks for joining us on not for the conservative. We'll
keep standing for liberty, faith and family because America's worth
the fighting with.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Nan Roger and she's running for eighty twelve yes, yes,
and two things. Before we went to commercial break, if
you can talk briefly about the film industry and then
just touch briefly about why people your constituents should vote
for you.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Okay, fair enough, So we don't serve the people by
offering incentives that cost twice the expected value to our
state revenue. It doesn't make financial sense. If they were
to change the terms and make sure that it's going
to employ a certain percentage of local talent. Then I
(40:41):
think it had happened, and hopefully the legislature will figure
out a better proposal in the upcoming special session, which
we'll revisit issue and some other ones as well.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Okay, and so did the governor say when we're going
to have the special session?
Speaker 6 (40:58):
I did not check today, but as of yesterday it
wasn't announced, and it's going to be in Carson City,
So everybody has to reconvene and head up.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Okay, and then Nan, why oh go ahead, Dave.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
Sorry, that's a good point because there's lots of other
states that require businesses that start up to buy to
hire local a certain percentage. So there's plenty of precedents
out there for this.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Okay. And so Nan, just to wrap up, can you
tell our listeners why they should vote for you?
Speaker 6 (41:37):
Well, I love this country and we'll work hard to
represent and protect the citizens of my district. I'm well rounded,
having both technical and business background, and I'm actually pretty
good at financing across a broad range of industries. I'm
often recognized for having excellent judgment, spotless integrity, and a
(41:59):
can do attitude. Towards life, and since I know how
to negotiate, I can bring balance to the legislative process.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
And Dave, would you like to tell people why they
should vote for you?
Speaker 4 (42:13):
To me, that's an easy answer right there, because Horseford's
making it easier every day. I tell you, you've got
a guy who wants to keep men in women's locker rooms.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
You've got a guy who voted.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Against tax, no tax on tips. He voted not to
condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I mean, this guy
is so far left, he's aligning with AOC and Bernie Sanders.
He doesn't represent the VAT anymore. And it's time for
him to go. It's been ten years. The definition insanity
is repeating the same thing over and over again, expecting
(42:44):
a different result. It's time for Horseford to go because
he is no results.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Okay, So again, we like to thank our guests, special
co host Day Flippole, candidate for City four, and our

there with Nan Roker.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes we do, and so, but before we get to Nan,
we just want to know what your take is on
the question of the day is, what are your thoughts
or comments on President Trump not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Well, I mean, obviously, stopping nine wars isn't enough. I
guess he needed to be able to stop ten.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I guess that's the magic number.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
So you know, you don't have to stop one more
war and then maybe they'll consider him.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Okay, all right, and we'd like to welcome our guest tonight,
Nan Oker, she's running for eighty twelve.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Welcome Nan, Thank you, Patricia and Garland. I love being

what you do every day to promote conservative causes.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well, thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Thank you very much. To keep talking.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Anyway, our number of callers seven zero two two two
one seven two eighty three. And so then before we
get started, what are your thoughts on the question of
the day about President Trump not winning the Nobel Peace Prize?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
You know, I think he's too much for people who
make decisions like that, and they've got to let it
soak in. So next year I think will be his time,
and who knows what else he's going to do between
now and then, and so it's going to be really
really hard for anyone to stack up to his accomplishments.
But you can't give it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
All to him.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I mean it's the administration, yes, who have a companied
him in the various causes that he's worked on, But.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
There's still Ukraine and Russia. And also I don't think
people really realize how much he's done on the We
call it the President for Peace because he broke a
peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda,
and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Egypt,
(07:26):
in Ethiopia, Serbia and Koshovo. And he also had the
Abraham Accords from his first.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Administration.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, it's like all that and he didn't get it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But you know what, there's only been one US president
that has won the Nobel Peace Prize. And does anyone
want to get to take a gander who that president was.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Well, we were talking about that earlier. It was Obaha.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
No, no, the first no, the first one, first US
president to win the Nobel Peace Prize. You should remember this.
This was from our town hall Okay, what's the answer, Rose, Yes,
for what war? I forgot said Japan and Russia. So yes, okay, anyway,
(08:19):
and so that's what you this kind of entertainment you
get at the town hall, So make sure you come
to our next one on November tewod.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
Well, I loved Trump's his saying, which is promises made
promises Captain?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yes, definitely. So a Nan, you're a guest this even
Are you a native of Nevaden?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
No, I'm not. I was born in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Ok So I'm a Midwesterner. I'm told I don't have
an accent. And I moved to Nevada in twenty nineteen
to join two of my daughters, who I would have
missed terribly had I stayed in Denver, where they were raised.
My son, who's a marine, thank him for his service,
(09:02):
also lives here now, and it brought me closer to
my oldest daughter, who lives in the Bay Area.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Okay, yes, and what part in the Bay area you're
talking to? Bay Area bath be Ware, Lafayette. Okay, we
know it quite well. We love well.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
She's an attorney, her husband is a tech guru.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, we're sorry.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, So your bile states that you are a technology consultant.
Please briefly describe to our listeners exactly what you do
and how long you've been doing it and in that field,
and what your educational level training was to get that job.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Well, I was in the technology field until mid twenty
twenty four when I decided to retire to focus on
my campaign. Over my twenty plus year career in the
software industry, I hired and led both technical and implementation
teams and was a trusted advisor to many business owners
across the country and in fact sometimes across continents. Prior
(10:07):
to that, I held various management positions in the aerospace
and defense industry. My first job actually was with Winchester
and I have an undergraduate degree in marketing and an
NBA and engineering management.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Quite impressive. So, Dave, you can jump in anytime you
want to.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I will.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
I will think we're heading over the mountains.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
We're heading over the mountain into Vegas.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
I might lose.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
You'll have to call you back.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Okay, Okay, So again, our email is Twacradio Show at
gmail dot com, or you can reach us on X
at T T period W period A period c period
radio show on x and on call in number seven
zero two two two one seven two eight three. Come on, folks,
(10:56):
call in. We know the football game is probably born
and so you want to you try to call in
and gets a spice up our show for us. Okay,
So you ran for the state legislator legislation before, correct?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I did in twenty twenty four?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Okay? And what office did you run for.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
The same one I'm running for again, Assembly District twelve.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Okay? And last time you had a primary opponent.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Was I did have a primary opponent, and if I
remember correctly, you interviewed him a week ago.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yes he did.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
He's now running for the Senate district that comprises my
assembly district in one other's.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
So people probably wondering why we have people on our
show that we know. Well, just like in campaign fundraising,
you go through your friends and family first and then
you get other people to come on.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
So, well, can I say a little bit more about that,
because the last time I ran, I lost by less
than one percent. We got out the vote, and I
got in late actually because I had a friend who
was going to run and he had some health issues
and we didn't think that the other person could potentially
(12:07):
win based on previous experience. So I had a bunch
of friends who got together. So talking about friends and
how they support you, they said, we really would like
for you to run, and I said, yes, I'll do it,
but I need you to do this and I need
you to do that. And so I've kept that group together.
And of course this time I've gotten started much much earlier.
(12:29):
So last time I filed the day before filing closed.
This time I've already knocked on over five hundred doors,
and I'm having interactions through community service as well as
focused activities where I can meet my constitutes.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Wonderful, wonderful. So now you're running again for eighty twelve,
and please show if our listeners the boundaries of eighty
twelve so they know whether they know whether they live
in your district.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
It's a very interesting district which was redistrict did in
twenty twenty, so it's jagged and divided geographically. There are
seventeen precincts in Sunrise Manor, which is east of Las Vegas,
south of North Las Vegas. So if everybody knows Sunrise Mountain,
it's that valley underneath it and then the other part
(13:20):
is seven precincts in East Henderson. So from Lake Lake
Las Vegas out to Boulder Highway, but only a strip,
So it takes me forty five minutes on a good
day to drive from where I live to the north
part of my district.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's close. I understand that you're Assembly district overlaps short
Congressional District four.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
It does. So Lake Las Vegas is in CDY four.
It was jerrymandered, and the rest of my district is
in CD one.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And so, Dave, are you since you're actually this running
for CD four, are you? Uh? I say, not just
communicating but.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Working in congenia with with Nan or do you plan to?
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Can you?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah? Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yes, yes, we can hear it.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Yeah, perfect, yeah, No, I'm excited to have Nan running
for that seat. I tell you Lake Las Vegas. You
know NaN's talking about, you know, the forty five minute
drive from the north to the south to Hurst District.
For whatever reason, they've been look Lake Las Vegas into
CD four and then I go all the way up
to Jerrington. So there's about a seven hour drive for
me from north to south.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Uh. And so my disitric is pretty big too.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
But but having people like Nan, uh, you know, running
in that in that district is going to be powerful.
It's gonna be powerful for not just her in the
Senate district that it's gonna be working with her, but
also my congressional district. We need strong conservatives in there.
They can as they can fight and beat our Democrat opponents.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So, Dave, So, Dave, have you considered trying to work
in conjunction with other Assembly or Senate district candidates to
kind of collace your efforts together?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, you know, as we get farther onto this right now,
everybody's kind of running an individual thing right now. It's
you know, shoot, if you look at some of the
other CDs the congressional districts, there's eight or ten people
run into some of those, and you know, getting a
ligned up is really hard.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
I think NaN's done a great job at limiting or field.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Nan. Do you have anybody running against you right now?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Not that I'm aware of, but it's early so that could.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, you have to wait until the last day of filing.
I mean, anybody can jump out of the woodward and file.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Well, yeah, you have to go ahead.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
You have to realize though, like getting in early is
so important.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I learned that when I.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Ran for Assembly. I got in late, and I learned
so much that I'm never going to make that mistake again.
So if there's people out there that are even thinking
about this at this point and they're not already in
knocking on doors, they're they're miles behind the Powre curve.
These races are serious, and you know, whether it's an
assembly district or ascendate district or congressional district, you've got
(16:21):
to start doing the legwork now. Getting in right there
at the filing deadline just doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Well, and it's it's nice weather now, so don't mind
getting out and knocking on doors and just meeting the voters.
It's it's a lot of fun. Some people don't like it,
but I have.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
So how are the voters that you you've knocked on
their doors? I mean to them, it might seem like
it's early to be doing this.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Well, we've been focused on people who either newly registered
as Republicans in my district or changed parties. And interestingly,
you know, we've played around with different times and days
of the year and things like that that it turns
out that Friday mornings are really good because a lot
of people work from home. And the reception has been
(17:08):
absolutely fabulous.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
I've had support from a couple of local groups, the
Nevada Republican Club and the Republican Jewish Coalition, and this
early I have a lot of great volunteers, many of
whom are new, So I'm happy about that.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
So a question for you, how do you deal with
a home where you see a no soliciting sign up?
Do you knock anyhow or what do you do?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
You know that it's kind of a game day call
on that sometimes if I know a lot about the household,
and you know, there's different data that you can get
in different technology you can use. If I believe that
they're going to be a friendly and I'm doing that
in air quotes, I may go up there. I mean,
legally it's not considered soliciting, but people who put those
(17:59):
signs up sometimes they're funny and I just want to
see if they'll answer the door. If I hear a
big dog barking and there's you know, bars up, I'm
probably not going to.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Now I understand that you've had one coming out party
if you will. I did, and you're going to have
another one.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Yes, I have one coming up on the twenty fifth,
and it's going to be at Bob Price Park from
eleven to whenever we run out of the awesome tacos
that are going to be provided by one of my constituents.
So it's really just to you know, remind people that
I'm here and get to meet them and hear what's
important to them. And I'll continue to do that. I
(18:35):
actually adopted a school as well in my district up
on Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh. We went to that school to the three a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
But you know, I'm helping out with PTO and other
things there because I love children.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
We have a collar collar. Your name is Hello, Hello
Frank friends.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
How are you? How you guys doing it?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
We will? So do you have a question for our
guest Nan Roker?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yes, that too.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
What is your stance on the Second Amendment and national concealed.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Carry and what are you going to do to get
independent voters to.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Vote for you?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Wow, those are two very different questions. So the Second
Amendment and concealed Carrie, I am pro both of those issues.
I actually have a personal story about where I said
earlier that I had worked at Winchester where a gun
saved my children's father's life and maybe saved theirs as well.
(19:41):
So I you know, thugs are going to get guns
no matter what, and I believe we have the right
to protect ourselves. As far as getting independence out, you
know a lot of people come here with the automatic
registration at the DMV. They don't even realize they're registered
as an independence. So reaching out to them and having
(20:03):
a conversation, many times there's an awakening that actually happens
and they're happy. And I've in my history of working
in politics here which goes back a couple of years
to before when I ran, I find that when you
have an individual conversation with people, sometimes you get them
to say, wow, maybe I should think about switching over.
(20:25):
They often don't know that we have closed primaries and
that they won't be able to vote if they stay independent,
So there's an educational component to it. And then I
am fairly centrist in my beliefs. Now, you can talk
about First Amendment rights or Second Amendment rights sorry as
being controversial, but if it's appropriate, I'll have that conversation
(20:49):
about how it actually saved my family, and I think
that's really important personal stories resonate.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Thank you Frank for your question. And you're listening to
talk with.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You're listening to talk with a conservative, which tradition meets truth?
Stay with us more truth more, in fact, I'm more
straight talk coming up next. I'm Dave. Are you still there?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Hey, I'm here.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
I went through a dead zone there.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
You know, part of the problem with having a district
my big so large. Uh, I'm driving all over so yeah,
pumps in my district. So so setting back from there
and lost you guys through the mountains.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Well you missed. The question from one of our callers
was about uh, concealed carrie too, Yes, in in Nevada,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Reaching out to independent voters.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yes, yes, So what are you what's your response to that?
Because so.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Is the question? Do I agree with? Consider?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, whatever your thoughts and comments are on it.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Oh, okay, I went here and there was a question there.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I am absolutely.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
An agreement with concealed carrier, but actually open carry, I
mean you shouldn't you shouldn't need a license or anything
for either one.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
You know there's states out there that that allow all
of it without.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Any kind of permitting.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I feel a lot safer when I see a lot
of people wearing guns on their hips because I know
that the bad guys aren't gonna be messing with that area.
The problem that we have is when you have these
gun free zones, that's where.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
The criminals tend to hang out.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You know, that's they feel safer there. So you know
up in Alaska, uh, you know, when I lived up there,
everybody was carrying and there's not a lot of crime
up there, So it's pretty good because.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Those guns don't tend to shoot people. It's the actual
people that have something going on between their ears that
end up causing the crime.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
So, if you were to win your race for CD four,
would you support or would you try to introduce a
national concealed carry law so everything would be consistent throughout
the fifty states.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
I would just get up rid of all regulations that
have any regulations to do with guns. You know, then
you wouldn't have to worry about whether you have a
concealed permit or not.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Yeah, when you go from one state to the.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Other, and you have a concealed permit carrying one state
and you go through another state that might not have it.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
You know, what do you do?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You're opening yourself up for a rest because you have
a gun on your hip.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
And you just have to be driving through a state
that has a different rule that you don't even know about.
So I think we just need to get rid of
all the regulations against fire arms.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Now we understand that you have a rally coming up,
miss I think Saturday, October twenty fifth at Covent Cathorey Church.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Absolutely, it's gonna be huge, you know, I hope everybody
can make it out there. Doors open at five point thirty.
The rally is going to start at six point thirty.
If you want the VIP that starts from five point
thirty to six thirty, you'll get private access. With Matt
Gates's coming in, there's probably some two or three other
surprise guests that we're not announcing yet, so you might
(24:29):
get surprised there. But I just got just got endorsed by.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Lauren Bobert, so absolutely, so there's a possibility there.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
So anyway, come to the rally. Let's get excited about
this election, all right. We need to get people pumped.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Up because we have to beat these Democrats and Stephen
Horsford does not represent Nevada and he's aligning with the
bar Left everything that he's doing.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
He couldn't even vote to condemn the fascination of Charlie Kirk.
He could not even find an apartment to condemn that.
So he's no longer representing the BAT and we're gonna get.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Rid of him.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Okay, So our next question for Nan is, according to
your bio, you have three issues in your platform, and
number one is public safety. Have you taken the Las
Vegas Metro Citizens Academy training.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
I haven't, but I have applied for the class that
starts in January of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Okay, because Garland and I took the class that's offered
in North Las Vegas. We took it in twenty twenty two,
and it is so amazing. The information that you're going
to find out about why police do what they do
will help train If you have any question about what
(25:51):
a police officer does when he stops someone, you need
to take one of these classes so you can figure
it out and so you can hear exactly everything is
for the police officer and for the citizen's safety, and
so that's another thing that people need to be made
aware of. But you're going to really enjoy the well.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Interestingly, my district is also covered by Henderson Police. They
offer a similar class and I have some friends who
are on the Police Foundation board, so that's in my
future as well.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Okay, good thing, good thing, But okay public safety. Can
you expound on that with oiur listeners.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Well, there's a couple of pretty major issues. I think
you know, there are people thousands, millions sometimes depending on
what's going on. If it's the F one race who
are in town that don't live in Nevada, They're not residents,
they're tourists, and that causes issues. It just naturally does.
There have been some incidents, I mean, think about October
(26:56):
one and are higher than average accident rate. I mean,
I could go on about current sure, it's all day long.
So you know, you'd also asked about police funding. It's
definitely an issue. I've talked to again, the Metro Police.
I actually went to an event last week that was
up at the school that I adopted, and I've talked
(27:16):
to the Henderson Police and they're all competing for the
same resources. So there's a tendency for people to move
for money, and then there's an issue with recruitment as well.
So you know, we have to respects. As towns are
growing and Henderson is growing very rapidly, that there is
a there's a unique shortage situation and we have to
(27:40):
be careful about that.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Callers, our number is seven zero two to two one
seven two eighty three, Please call in. We have candidates
that come to share with you their platforms about what
they want to do, but they need the feedback from
their constituents, So please call in if you have a question.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Don't forget the Conservative Town Hall of North Las Vegas.
It's eleven to one thirty at eighteen seventy West Craig
Road in North Las Vegas. It's no host lunch. What
that means is you can have anything you want to,
but you have to pay for us. The next meeting
is November sixth It's the first Thursday of every month.
(28:20):
Our main speaker is Dave Marlin. He's actually the co
founder and CEO of Vegas Stronger and so we'll also
have a panel of women bets there to celebrate veterans
stay and so everyone out there knows we've actually had
the chief of police of North Las Vegas speak at
our town hall. We've also had the two assistant police
(28:42):
chiefs speak at our town hall.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Okay, one more question for you now on public safety,
because you also mentioned strengthening and enforcing laws that control
the treatment of criminals and illegal immigrants, can you please
expound on that for.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Our listeners to two separate issues. So I'll talk about
criminals first, and the question I have is why does
Nevada allow theft of up to twelve hundred dollars and
only treated as a misdemeanor. Chalk that up to nrs
two oh five point two four row, which also allows
for sentences of up to six months in jail and
(29:21):
one thousand dollars fine. But the data is only reported andually,
so there isn't a lot of transparency, and it's believed
that less than thirty five percent of all such misdemeanors
also called petit larcenies, are reported arrested, so that encourages
criminals to try to cover legal is immigration. It's tough
(29:43):
for everyone. Ask anyone, and I do have many constituents
who legally immigrated here and they'll tell you it's incredibly
unfair to them who went through spent the time and
money to become legal and to go through the frost.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
But immigration is a federal issue, So how would you
address that on a state level.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Well, it's a good question, and I would say that
it's going to depend on what kind of a legislature
we have in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And also it would depend upon whether people want to
be a sanctuary state or a sanctuary city, you know,
depending upon the legislature.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
So our governor has said that we're not yes, but
our Secretary of State and our attorney general are acting
as if we are. And that's a conflict. And you know,
when it comes to illegal immigrants. And this is a
later question, but I'm going to jump ahead in some respects.
There's a significant shortage of healthcare resources here and that
puts such a strain on people's ability to get good healthcare.
(30:52):
We have an aging population here. We're not a baby
boomer town. We are a baby boomer town, actually, and
it's hard to balance our state budget without delivering services
to those who aren't citizens because we can't officially account
for them.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well, that goes to the shutdown of the federal government.
I mean, the Dems want to have funding for the illegals.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
For help me started on Chuck Schumer his mob.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I mean, it doesn't it doesn't make any sense to me.
Lit can they someone make it makes sense? Callers members
making go ahead day?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
There is no making There is no making sense to it. Actually,
But I want to follow up on what Nan was
saying about, you know, the insurance companies and the and
what they allow crime to miss. The means, you know,
the twelve hundred dollars limit. UH is a small business owner.
This is where it really gets frustrating for me because
guess who. Guess who absorbs the cost of that theft? Right,
small business owner? He's got one hundred one thousand dollars
(31:53):
re deductible. So guess guess who doesn't pay? The insurance companies.
I mean, if you look at what they're putting that number,
they're putting that number at about what the deductibility deductible
is for insurance for a small business. So guess who pays.
The small business owner pays, and you know for in
order for him to make a thousand dollars, he's got
to sell three thousand dollars, So you know, because that's
(32:14):
about what the margins are. So you've got to sell
three thousand dollars worth of product to make to absorb
that one thousand dollars loss that the cops aren't even
going to go after. So we need and I'm glad
to see what NaN's doing. We need people up there,
whether it's the sheriff or whether it's the legislature, that
we need to change that because the crime is a
crime and it doesn't matter. There needs to be consequences
(32:37):
because we're the small businesses are suffering and they're the
ones absorbing the cost of these petty thoughts.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
And one more issue, Nan, in your public safety, because
I rarely hear any candidate state that they want to
address the mental health issues of criminals and the resources
that aren't even a v to address those issues. What
do you plan to do about that?
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Well, I did a lot of research on this topic
because you see it everywhere if you open your eyes.
People are living on the streets, in the washes. People
have drowned living in the washes and have been seriously injured.
So what we need is a couple of things. We
need greater funding, additional facilities, and I'll talk more about
(33:26):
each one of these things. More providers and better schools.
And you might ask why better schools. Well, if we
have better schools, we can get more healthcare resources because
a lot of times the people who are coming here
have children, and that's a decision that they have to make.
There are many other decisions around becoming a healthcare provider
(33:49):
in Nevada, but schools are one of the reasons that
the healthcare providers don't want to move to Nevada. So
in doing my research, I would use Massachusetts as the
model state based on their excellent performance providing mental health solutions.
Let me tell you why. There's a couple of points.
(34:09):
So they have a robust public investment in supportive housing units,
crisis centers, and school based services. Per resident funding is
about twelve percent higher there than it is in Nevada.
And while we focus on community based services, they take
more of a holistic approach. Did you know that eighty
(34:31):
seven percent of Nevada's three point two million residents live
in federally designated mental health professional shortage areas also known
as hpsas. That's tragic.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I mean it's just not mental health, I mean the
whole medical system in Nevada, there's not sufficient number of
professionals to deal with absolutely. Particularly like you said earlier,
we are a state of people retirees maybe, and generally
they require more health services.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
It's a total supply and demand issue totally, all right.
So there's two other points I want to make about this,
about the mental health. So in Massachusetts they have what
they call integrated care models where they have mental health hubs,
which combines providers, hospitals, and treatment centers. This is going
to shock you. They have fifteen providers per one thousand residents,
(35:28):
which leads to high treatment rates, whereas Nevada has less
than three, ranking US forty fifth nationally.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
But I've heard that the reason why Nevada rank so
low is because they are not willing to pay the
providers the level of funding that they require.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
It's a combination of that and other things, because we
have very high health care costs here in terms of
if you're on Medicare and you don't want to have,
you know, a certain kind of programs. So it's not simple.
And going back to the schools, the lowest national ranking
Massachusetts received last year was number three, and our best
(36:13):
was number forty one. Some rank us as lowest forty seven.
We got to fix those problems.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Callers, our number is seven zero two two to one,
seven two eighty three. Join the conversation. So the second
issue on your platform is economic prosperity. Can you explain
them to our listeners? Please?
Speaker 6 (36:34):
Well, I hope I don't offend anyone, but keeping taxes
low may be the only thing between us and becoming
the next California. No disrespect to many of my friends
who are hitting hail from the Golden State, and you
guys are some of that refugee. That's why a lot
of people move here. So we have to protect that
(36:56):
if we want to grow our state, have it be vibrant,
and have people have a good life here. And let
me start with all the good news. So I don't
want to be you know, Debbie Downer or Nancy No,
let me start with all the good news from the
last legislative session. There were some key business related outcomes
that were emphasized, so there were incentives for established companies
(37:19):
to bring higher paying jobs to the state. We got
to increase those workforce supports.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
So Richard, well, can I just interrupt?
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Of course, to bring higher paying jobs. You need to
have a workforce here that is educated to provide the
services for these that.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
That is absolutely true, and you have to recruit them
and you have to retain them. So that was going
to be my next point is retention bonuses, streamlining the
processes for them to become an employee in this state,
and programs for hard to fill positions, whether those are
(38:00):
you know, trade programs. There's a ton of construction here.
We have a lot of construction people, but there's a
room for more electricians, plumbers, things like that. So yes,
that's an important.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
And those type of careers they should be offered to
students in high school so they can go into the trades.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
Couldn't agree with you more. And when you asked me
about education, I'll talk about that. The other thing I
would say is there were some things done to reduce
the barriers to entry for people in neighboring states, so reciprocity,
relaxing of occupational licensing requirements which will help reduce the
healthcare providers shortage. And since Nevada is not very diverse
(38:43):
in terms of industry served, there's some things that were
done there as well. Distribution centers are popping up everywhere.
That's great, but those are not the same level of
pay as things like manufacturing, tech and energy, and that
was the focus of s too. So we need more
more infrastructure improvements, information security. Our state got hacked that
(39:08):
should never happen. An expansion in some of the areas
that I talked about, occupational licensing reforms, regulatory streamlining, more
workforce development, tax credits and incentives. Which leads me to
something that everybody asks about, which is the film industry subsidy.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
And you're listening to talk with a conservative and we'll
catch up with Nan after the commercial.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Thanks for joining us on not for the conservative. We'll
keep standing for liberty, faith and family because America's worth
the fighting with.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Nan Roger and she's running for eighty twelve yes, yes,
and two things. Before we went to commercial break, if
you can talk briefly about the film industry and then
just touch briefly about why people your constituents should vote
for you.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Okay, fair enough, So we don't serve the people by
offering incentives that cost twice the expected value to our
state revenue. It doesn't make financial sense. If they were
to change the terms and make sure that it's going
to employ a certain percentage of local talent. Then I
(40:41):
think it had happened, and hopefully the legislature will figure
out a better proposal in the upcoming special session, which
we'll revisit issue and some other ones as well.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Okay, and so did the governor say when we're going
to have the special session?
Speaker 6 (40:58):
I did not check today, but as of yesterday it
wasn't announced, and it's going to be in Carson City,
So everybody has to reconvene and head up.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Okay, and then Nan, why oh go ahead, Dave.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
Sorry, that's a good point because there's lots of other
states that require businesses that start up to buy to
hire local a certain percentage. So there's plenty of precedents
out there for this.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Okay. And so Nan, just to wrap up, can you
tell our listeners why they should vote for you?
Speaker 6 (41:37):
Well, I love this country and we'll work hard to
represent and protect the citizens of my district. I'm well rounded,
having both technical and business background, and I'm actually pretty
good at financing across a broad range of industries. I'm
often recognized for having excellent judgment, spotless integrity, and a
(41:59):
can do attitude. Towards life, and since I know how
to negotiate, I can bring balance to the legislative process.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
And Dave, would you like to tell people why they
should vote for you?
Speaker 4 (42:13):
To me, that's an easy answer right there, because Horseford's
making it easier every day. I tell you, you've got
a guy who wants to keep men in women's locker rooms.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
You've got a guy who voted.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Against tax, no tax on tips. He voted not to
condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I mean, this guy
is so far left, he's aligning with AOC and Bernie Sanders.
He doesn't represent the VAT anymore. And it's time for
him to go. It's been ten years. The definition insanity
is repeating the same thing over and over again, expecting
(42:44):
a different result. It's time for Horseford to go because
he is no results.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Okay, So again, we like to thank our guests, special
co host Day Flippole, candidate for City four, and our
guest this evening, Nan Roker, candidate for eighty twelve. Also
our caller today, Frank Free. Thank you for your question, Frank,
and our shout out to seven seventy five Alive for
your support and to you are loyal listeners who tune
(43:12):
in every Monday. We thank you and we appreciate you,
and so God bless you, and God bless America.
