So, let's get started. Let's go.
So,
All right. Welcome to the latest episode of Blood Money.
Today we have a very special guest, Johnny Brew.
How are you doing, sir? Very good, man.
Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming on the Blood Money podcast.
So, Johnny, before we get into your political campaign right now, you're running to be CCRP chair.
Let's get to know Johnny a little bit.
Let's get to know your background.
Tell us a little bit about who you are and what you've been up to.
I mean, I could probably take up three hours if I give you my whole bio, but as the Reader's Digest version, I grew up in New York, Queens until I was eight years old.
Then I moved to Long Island in New York.
I played basketball, threw parties, loved, you know, everybody.
You know, I'm the same guy that, you know, if you see me running around the CCRP meetings, smiling and taking pictures, I was the same exact way in high school.
And played basketball, got good grades, and I got good grades way too easy.
I'd go to school on Monday, cut Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, go back to school on Friday, get an A on the test, and my teachers really couldn't do much because I was getting good grades.
So I ended up going to school.
I went to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida to study engineering physics, aerospace physics.
And, you know, like I said, high school was too easy for me.
I was playing basketball, I was going out partying, I was trying, I was doing ROTC, I was taking like 20 credits as a freshman, living in Daytona Beach, first time away from my parents, so that kind of worked out the way you might expect.
And, you know, which was unfortunate, but everything happens for a reason.
I went back to New York.
My dad opened up a sign store where he used to work for big sign manufacturers in New York City, kind of like Yesco is here in Nevada.
They had structural and union carbide, so my dad worked for them in Manhattan.
You know, and then he ended up opening up a sign store on Long Island.
So when I went back home in like 1995, I helped him open the sign store and I worked with him.
I had always done landscaping like over the summers and stuff in high school.
And I had worked, what I actually did is I worked for an FDNY guy.
So what he did is he started a landscaping business where he cut all the other firefighters lawns on Long Island.
And, you know, he got up to like 25 lawns and he needed some help.
So I was like a 16, 17-year-old kid with a little bit of experience.
So I'd always work with him.
So when I came back from, you know, flunking out of school, and I didn't flunk out, I just didn't maintain a GPA good enough for my scholarship to kick in and my parents weren't going to spend, you know, whatever, $100,000 a year to go to that school.
You know, I worked with him and I worked with my dad.
Over the next five years, we built up really great businesses.
My dad got sick, so I took over the sign store.
And then we grew the business so big that the FDNY guy, I ended up buying the business from him.
And then he was working for me on his off days whenever he could from the FDNY, which was really great.
That touched me a lot then in 2001 with 9-11.
You know, while I was up to about 100 accounts, the original 20, 25 accounts were all FDNY. A couple of my customers passed away, you know, and I continued cutting lawns and kids with no dads and wives, you know, with no husband. And, you know, it was pretty rough stuff.
And so 9-11 had a, you know, real Indelible mark on me, as I'd imagined somebody in Hawaii feels about Pearl Harbor, you know what I mean?
So then I had these businesses.
It was going really, really well.
And then I started falling in love with Vegas.
I was doing really, really well in poker.
I opened up a couple of poker rooms, and then I found out that that wasn't necessarily On the up and up.
So I said, let me go to Vegas where I can make a living doing poker.
I love business and I love poker.
So I moved to Vegas in 2005.
You know, I got to deal at the Bellagio.
I dealt the final table of the World Series of Poker in Penn and Tele Theater in front of a packed crowd of 2,000 people streamed.
I think it was one of the, at the time, it was the number one live streamed event ever.
It was like 31 million people watching me deal the final table in 2010 of the World Series of Poker.
Which was really great.
I had a lot of odd jobs because I never really...
I never opened up my own poker room like was the plan.
I managed a restaurant on the Strip at Paris and Bally's.
I worked as a bartender at Trump Tower as well as, you know, some of the clubs and stuff like that when I was a lot younger.
I had all kinds of jobs and in 2012 I said, you know, enough with the rat race.
Like I wanted to... Play poker, win a million dollars, and retire and become a math teacher and a basketball coach.
And before that, I had businesses and I wanted to grow them so big that I could sell them, retire, and then become a math teacher and a basketball coach.
So in 2011, 2012, you know, I was doing fine.
I had some money and stuff like that.
But I said, you know, what do I really want to do with my life?
You know, forget about getting the million dollars and retiring.
And I said, I want to teach and I want to coach basketball.
So I dropped everything and I went to UNLV. I got the highest GPA that I know of.
And I keep saying it, hoping somebody could prove me wrong.
But as far as I know, I got the highest GPA ever for a secondary education, mathematics major, 3.96, taking the absolute hardest math courses that UNLV has to offer.
You know, got straight A's and all of that.
And I realized my dream.
I coached basketball.
I did AAU. I coached in high school as well as middle school.
And then Um, I ended up, I realized that, you know, some of these government schools weren't really, you know, like I've got this great personality, I could get the kids engaged, but I wasn't really following the cookie cutter approach that they wanted me to do.
So instead, I opened up Infinity, the math institute.
I opened up this business.
It was beautiful.
I mean, it was 2,400 square feet on Flamingo.
Um, Of just kids coming, having fun, learning math.
We opened in November of 2018.
And then in February of 2020, it was a big facility with a big budget.
And you know, in February of 2020, we We got over the hill.
And we had our first month in the black where we can legitimately say we took in more money than we spent.
And we were on the road to growing.
We were talking about some other locations in North Las Vegas, Eastside Las Vegas, as well as Henderson.
We were on the Westside. and uh and we did it on flamingo where you notice like all the uh magnesium is and stuff it's like on the 215 because that's where like you know the the demographic that they want and the demographic that pays for tutors is we did it right on flamingo and torrey pines right in the middle of las vegas where there was a lot of lower income families where and we had Services that lower-income families
could afford, as well as offering scholarships.
And I mean, if anybody ever wants to find out more, you can go to TheMathInstitute.com or look up Infinity The Math Institute on Facebook.
And again, so in February of 2020, we had our first month in the black.
We brought in more money than we spent.
And March of 2020, Sisolak closed down everybody's business.
You know, I wasn't eligible for anything initially because the PPP loans were for employees and remember originally you couldn't have 1040 or contract workers.
You had to You know, you had to have regular employees, which, you know, me and my wife were the only two employees, and that didn't count as owners in the beginning of the PPP. They closed down all the businesses.
We went virtual.
We dropped the prices.
For example, like, you know, I hate to call anybody out, but Masnasium, they make you sign a contract for a year, and they were getting their, you know, four or five hundred dollars a month from these families, even though they were closed, saying, you know, so sorry.
You know, we are mom and pop.
We let people, you know, pay half.
People who lost their jobs because of COVID, we let them continue to come for free.
But meanwhile, you know, my alarm, my Cox bill, my electric bill, my rent, they were full price.
You know, obviously to make a long story short, we went broke pretty quick because of the shutdowns and because of the ridiculous mandates for a facility where we're literally with a tutor and a kid doing some math or a small class with like three or four kids and a tutor.
You know, COVID wasn't really something, you know, that was affecting the children as it was.
We took all the precautions, but nonetheless, we weren't able to do it.
The city or the country or the world was paralyzed with fear.
I mean, the way they were talking about COVID and stuff, you know, some people were legitimately scared out of their minds.
And, you know, that was another reason we lost a lot of business.
And, you know, obviously, looking back, I have a feeling if me and a handful of kids were to be in a room, it wasn't going to be spreading COVID rampantly like they threatened.
So because of that, I started getting more politically involved.
I mean, I loved... I grew up in New York, so I knew Trump.
I knew Trump, you know, from TV and stuff.
He was a real estate mogul.
He had all the boxing matches, and he was best friends with Don King and all that stuff.
So... You know, I always knew Trump and everybody loved Trump.
He would be on Phil Donahue and he would be on, you know, every single show, you know, talking and Oprah would be begging him to run for president.
And the whole crowd would be cheering all the time.
Yeah, we need a regular guy, not a politician.
From 1985 till 2015, six months before Trump declared, he was on The View.
People don't remember that.
And they were begging him to run for president, like, we need a regular guy.
Once he came down the escalator, everything changed.
I saw that. I saw, I remember Oprah Winfrey being Trump's best friend.
I remember all the stories about like the boxing at Trump Taj Mahal and how he was always a champion for, you know, African Americans.
And, you know, Don King was an African American champion and they were best friends all together.
All the rap songs were about how I want to be Donald Trump one day.
So, you know, when all of a sudden they started like Just calling him a racist or saying that, you know, he's the worst racist, you know, it made me want to defend him fiercely because I could only imagine Like right now, if me and you are on this show right now, we're talking about how cool it would be to really, you know, get the Republican Party together.
And then, you know, I declare for governor and you start telling everybody I'm the worst person you've ever known.
And like, meanwhile, right now, everything's cool.
It made me want to defend Trump.
And it made me, it made me, you know, Really angry with just the way the whole system works.
So I was on board the Trump train as soon as that happened.
And I'm really glad I was.
I think, you know, he really was, you know, one of the best presidents we've ever, ever had.
You know, are there things I wish he didn't say indeed?
But then, if he didn't say the dozen things that I wish I could take back, would he be Donald Trump?
You know, is that the only way that he could have been who he is with some of the things that I feel like if he just didn't say that one thing, maybe it would have been more palatable, but nonetheless.
So we organized a bunch of stuff for the Trump rally.
For example, I don't know if you remember in Lake Mead, we had like, I think it was six miles worth of boats going around in a circle for the Trump parade.
And, you know, I helped organize that.
We did a bunch of Trump rallies.
I emceed a couple events at like Mr.
Darnell's house from Discovery Channel, where we introduced all the Republican candidates and did fundraisers.
And I was also doing speeches about, you know, the dangers of throwing out our Constitution and throwing out capitalism during times of emergency.
And if you looked up any of my old speeches, which I would encourage people to do, this isn't like Johnny come lately.
This is something I've been very passionate about speaking on behalf of Republicans in Clark County for a long time.
Talking about how, you know, capitalism and the Constitution were built For emergencies.
And, you know, it's more important than ever that we adhere to these, you know, the outline, the law of the land, because they were designed for emergencies, not just for when the going's good.
And unfortunately, we didn't.
You know, the government picked and chose which businesses flourished.
Billionaires, you know, They quintupled their life value while normal families were counting on unemployment.
Unemployment was actually paying these families more than they were making and there was zero production going on.
Here and in the country and in the world.
So how can people have more money with less production?
Obviously, that's a recipe for disaster.
And, you know, I was just trying to explain this to people about, you know, what was going on.
And I got more and more involved.
Then, you know, I was a part of the CCRP under David Sajak.
And I didn't like the way meetings were like being delayed and canceled because We found somebody to champion the cause.
And that was Jesse Law.
I started a podcast because I started feeling like nobody was just speaking common sense.
Nobody was talking about what's actually happening here in Clark County, Nevada.
And nobody was championing common sense and conservative solutions to the problems that we were facing.
So I started the Johnny Bruce show.
I started, you know, interviewing every single Republican representative candidate and You know, and media personality I could possibly do.
I was the exclusive podcaster for the COVID Summit hosted by Fred Simon with, you know, Li Min Yan, who was the Chinese virologist who, you know, fled Hong Kong.
To speak the truth about, you know, the lab leak theory, which she has since been proven true, and I had her on to Johnny Brew.
I know you also had Dr.
McCullough on. He was one of my favorite interviews I ever did, as well as, you know, everybody was there, from Wayne Allen Root, all the candidates, you know, and it was really, really eye-opening.
You know, you guys are doing phenomenal.
I wish I was doing half as well as you guys here at Blood Money are doing.
But we got a lot of valuable information out, maybe to not as many people as I would have hoped.
But, you know, that...
Opens up a whole other can of worms with the suppression of speech and you know just yesterday there was another court decision explaining that the Biden administration cannot be influencing the speech or the business practices of social media companies.
Just like the student loan forgiveness and just like You know, the overturning of Roe vs.
Wade. Instead of being humble and saying, you know, we tried, you know, to bend the rules, but obviously, you know, it's not constant.
They're like, don't worry, everybody.
We're going to do it anyway.
It's devolving.
It's devolving.
And, you know, from crony capitalism to the big banks to You know, the way our government's being run, whether it's Democrats or, you know, Republicans have been proven not to be necessarily always the beacon of, you know, virtuousness, you know, like I wish they would be.
And, you know, and of course, you know, 20 Democrats could do something horrible and get swept under the rug.
And then one Republican, you know, Donald Trump's drinking 10 Diet Cokes a day and it's a national tragedy.
Not to mention Hunter Biden on the balcony looking like he's tweaking like crazy.
Not to mention the fact that he actually did a bump of cocaine.
I mean, look, I was saying on another podcast, I've hung out with rock stars.
When you have a dude doing this action and this is literally caught on camera, I mean, the dude's doing cocaine on the White House balcony.
I noticed...
He knew when everybody's head was turned.
He knew when he was blocked.
And then cocaine is found.
Whatever. I mean, to be honest, that is not the breaking news that I need to know.
You know, some cocaine was found in the White House.
I'm just saying the idiocy of, you know, talking about Donald Trump having too many Diet Cokes in the White House, but then cocaine is just a laughing matter.
Everything It's so dumb, you know, and everybody sees it, but nobody's saying it.
Nobody's saying the emperor has no clothes.
And that's why I started the podcast and, you know, and come all the way full circle.
You know, this is why now I'm running for chairman is because I just feel like there's so many obvious things.
I'm talking to people, so many people all day, every day since I've announced and You know, everybody's saying the same things.
They say it between each other, but then at a meeting, everybody just sits there quiet.
And I'm running for the members.
I'm not bringing any other voters, you know?
And God bless Jill, you know, Douglas and Jesse, you know, if you're gonna run a campaign, you gotta run to win.
And like the Democrats, the Democrats aren't campaigning.
The Democrats are counting votes.
And, you know, and that's how I feel like, you know, some of my opponents are running their campaigns and, you know, you play to win the game and you play within the rules and, you know, and they've signed, you know, everybody's brought new members to the past two meetings to make sure they garner their support.
And, you know, all of a sudden it's looking like a family reunion.
If you look at a couple of the new members that are going to be joining, you know, you know, a lot of times it looks like a family reunion.
Of people who are on the board, you know, and it's kind of odd that, you know, these people seem to just be showing up once every two years for elections, you know, and the way it is, I'm just saying, I'm here for the members.
Everybody's going to get their own vote.
Everybody's going to get a piece of paper, and they're going to get a little bit of privacy, and they're going to check a box.
And I'm not here to, you know, play the game.
I'm here to tell you I want to steward the ship for members, not do things the way I think they should be done, or secretly, or, you know, doing things at the offices that the members aren't aware of.
Which, you know, it seems like, I don't know, the stories I've heard, it's the way it's been going on for, you know, at least four years now.
So let me ask you, Johnny, like this loss of business, you know, let's talk about the loss of business during COVID. I mean, there's a story I hear over and over again.
It seems as though this was really intentional.
This was really intentional to not only move money to the elite, but to also move money into different sectors in society, destroy businesses.
And I mean, this story that you've said, I've heard, I mean, way too many times, hundreds of times from people that COVID destroyed their business and I love this country.
I've always been a conservative.
If there was no COVID... And there was no Donald Trump.
Those two things. If there was no COVID and they didn't turn on Donald Trump the way they did, you wouldn't see the Vegas skyline behind me with these two beautiful flags doing podcasts and TV shows and running for CCRP chairman and going, you know, trying to recruit school board candidates and trying to interview and spread the word of common sense.
No. I mean, it's absolutely COVID. And the way the media, for lack of a better, because the media brainwashed the entire country.
My mom thinks Trump is Hitler.
And she really does.
And it breaks my heart.
I mean, we joke about it, me and my mom, because we got a sense of humor.
And a lot of times, humor is the way you deal with Uncomfortable things.
But the media made my mom think Trump is Hitler.
And the media makes my mom think Hunter Biden is just a little bit misguided.
When, you know, anybody who's got any interest in the situation knows that some of the things on that laptop are truly horrific.
Yeah, truly horrific.
You have a reputation, I've heard quite often, of tough love.
When you're tutoring, it doesn't seem like you're trying to cuddle these kids.
You're trying to teach them, but you're trying to teach them through tough love.
Tell me about that a little bit.
The one thing I've noticed, and the kids notice and appreciate it, nobody is real.
Nobody is real.
I want what's best for these kids.
And through our interactions, sometimes it's a little shocking in the beginning, but through the smallest amount of time, kids know that all I want is what's best for them.
And when I start, you know, getting, first of all, I'm a passionate guy.
So, you know, even, you know, when I'm Just having a conversation with you right now.
You know, if you were standing in the other room, you might think I'm yelling at someone or, you know, or getting into a fight, you know.
So once you'll find out that, first of all, I'm just a loud guy from New York, and then also you realize about my intentions.
You know, you could see I wear my heart on my sleeve and it doesn't take long.
I don't need to spend years with people to earn their trust because i'm an open book you know what i mean my intentions are 100 clear i'm not um i'm not maybe from time to time very rarely but i i don't just you know lose my mind for no reason and i don't uh i don't I don't exaggerate and I don't hold grudges.
And if I say, oh my God, come on, we've got to do this again and we've got to do it better, that's the end of it.
Then I turn around, I come back, I'm like, how's it looking?
Is it better? It's just passion.
It's just intensity.
I teach math the way I coach basketball.
You know what I mean? And you look at any basketball coach that's ever been successful.
You know, I'm not saying you have to, you know, have corporal punishment and you should be smacking kids around or you should be cursing or anything like that.
But you have to be passionate.
You have to have high expectations and you have to create a sense of urgency and you have to create a sense of excitement and you've got to have the kids engaged.
You know, you keep talking about ADD and ADHD and everything else.
Well, when I'm passionate and I'm talking with my hands and I'm explaining the details and eyes and showing you how much I love it, the kids are watching.
They're not looking at the squirrel walking by outside the window because I'm engaging.
I'm making sure that they're paying attention because it's exciting.
Matt is beautiful.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
You know, in regards to the tough love comment, the other thing that I've heard is that you've been very effective.
I mean, these kids that you're tutoring have excelled.
There's been a lot of positive results.
And I'm talking about, you know, at least half a dozen individuals that I've talked, parents that I've talked to, that have been very impressed with your approach and the gains that the kids have made.
In this modern-day culture where it's all about receiving a little star for participating, your mode, the way you're operating seems to be more effective, even though I'm sure there's a lot of woke teachers that'll tell you that that's not the way to do it.
It is absolutely It's imperative that we raise the expectations for our children and that we care about them.
And, you know, I got some weird thing.
Maybe it's my superpower.
I really enjoy spending my time with kids and teaching them that.
I really love it.
And you talk about my institute.
First of all, I also work at a charter school in the mornings.
And I have a couple of classes and their scores, their standardized test scores, show that I'm teaching these kids, they're improving at three times the rate of other students here in the country.
And you know, Clark County is Worse than most of the country.
So, you know, you're talking about three times the amount of the average student is being learned per year in my class in the general education setting.
And this ain't an accelerated class.
This is a, you know, random 60 kids from North Las Vegas.
You know what I mean? And you got all the diversity, you got all the income issues, you got all the home problems that you read about, you know, in these textbooks and you talk about in, you know, Clark County in particular.
I've got, these are my kids.
And they learn three times the amount.
The average, I think, is something like 13% proficiency.
But my kids, I think I'm at 63%.
But I'm getting them at 11 or 13%.
So not only are those 11 and 13% maintaining their proficiency, but there's an additional 40% of the class that wouldn't be proficient if I wasn't their teacher, but now they are.
And same thing with the infinity.
You know, we teach everything.
You know, unfortunately, we no longer have our terrestrial location because of COVID and we're entirely virtual.
And, you know, I'm going to be sacrificing infinity.
If when I win the chairman because I'm going to have this is going to be a full-time job and what I did for six years to make infinity as successful as it is is exactly what I'm going to be doing specifically for the CCRP I'm sorry, I lost my train of thought. I'm almost out of breath.
Oh, so at Infinity, you know, we have students that, you know, were struggling in ninth, tenth grade, and they're finishing Calculus II before they even leave high school and graduating with a college and high school degree simultaneously.
I mean, again, the success stories are ridiculous.
Wow, and we need this in this state.
I mean, what are we, 4950s in a country, in terms of education, in a country that's already, like, way behind the rest of the world, by the way.
So it's like 4950 is pretty much, I mean, rock bottom.
You could probably get a better education in most third-world countries.
Like, really, it's awful.
And one last thing.
I have touched the lives and really made a difference in about 2,000, well, maybe about 1,500 children's lives.
In Clark County, guess what happens in five years?
They're all young voters.
And I know, you know, a lot of them, you know, like, oh, Mr.
Brew, you know, I'm like, you know, only text me if your parents, you know, say it's okay.
And then I get a parent, oh, of course, you know.
They're telling me, you know, about their math grades or they go on Mr.
Brew on Facebook and they post their report cards and they're all so proud and they want me to be proud of them.
And these are all going to be young voters.
You know, some of my kids are already in their 20s.
And they want to get involved.
I mean, you know, I'm not really campaigning much on this show, but the truth of the matter is I've spoken with some of them and they've all said, you know, I want to get a team of influencers from the ages of 18 to 28 to indirectly change the perception and the branding of the Republican Party here in Clark County.
We need kids to, you know, act as an influencer.
And, you know, those of you who know, know, you know, they're just doing shorts and interesting stuff.
And, you know, they're just good-looking, witty kids with something commonsensical to say.
And then at the end, you know, that's why I hang out at the CCRP. Because we know this is wrong.
It's little stuff like that.
And just change the mind and perception because the mainstream media has a stranglehold on the brainwaves.
You know, on these freaking cell phones and televisions, they got the narrative.
And we need to fight it.
We need to show that regular people are Republicans and regular people.
You know, it's not a secret.
So many people, you know, support Trump, but they don't want to put a bumper sticker on their car because they're afraid of being maligned for it.
So crazy. It's so crazy.
Entrepreneurship. Let's talk about how entrepreneurship and the fact that you've built your own business.
I mean, tragic that COVID destroyed that.
But tell us about how your skill sets in building a business, in dealing with people, in having employees, how is that going to feed into the quality of chairman you will be?
Well, you know, originally I took over the sign store for my father after working there for five years.
And I took over the landscaping business after working with a guy for seven years, Scott FDNY. And then I started Infinity from scratch.
So I have both experience taking over a business as well as starting from scratch.
And one of the problems with, say, CCRP is I thought this was just last time and Jesse was going to fix this but you know everybody's saying you got to look out they're not going to give you the the passwords to the emails and they're not going to give you the the keys to the websites and stuff like that and you know and You're going to have to start all over from scratch.
And then other people are asking, am I going to build upon, you know, what they've already started just here in the past couple of months?
And, you know, so I don't know how that transition is going to go once I win.
I'm hoping that, you know...
Jesse does the right thing and you know and there's obviously former board members I'm hoping for example Sally wins so that way we have nice continuity because she's been with the party for so long and I think that kind of consistency is is you know quite admirable and and we need that so you know I don't know what to necessarily expect but As far as drawing up plans,
and I don't know if you guys have been following my campaign at all, I'm the only one outlining exactly what my plans are, why this is going on, and reaching out for feedback saying, you know, these are my plans, but I'm going to be stewarding the ship for the Do the members want to go in this direction?
But I'm gonna build it like a business and it's going to have a bunch of different branches.
You know, whether you're talking about candidate vetting and candidate development and candidate recruitment, or you're talking about fundraising and events, or you're talking about membership drives and stuff like that, or you're talking about ballot harvesting, And, you know, the kind of walking volunteers, while we also need other volunteers, such as precinct captains and poll watchers.
So we need to have a nice flowchart, which, you know, I've already done, but I'm going to be releasing everything.
I don't want to lay it all out there because it's just too much to digest.
That's why I'm trying to offer small pieces at each day.
But, you know, to set this up and then fill in the pieces, You know, so many of these things have been run by the next man up, you know, and God bless the volunteers.
But, you know, you have people that are doing stuff that they're not meant to do.
If we have enough volunteers, right, if you're Van Miller, I'm going to put you in the communications department in some capacity because that's what you do.
I'm not going to put you in fundraising.
I might put you in candidate development because you have the experience of being a candidate and you could help them.
Maybe I would put you in both of them if you had the time to do both of them and help young candidates know what to expect as well as helping our media team improve the communications and have a weekly show where everybody knows what's going on.
But I digress.
That kind of structure, that kind of thing where when we have people coming in, Instead of saying, oh my God, yeah, we need you to be on the whining about Democrats committee.
And if you have more time, we're going to put you on the whining about other Republicans committee as well.
Instead of doing that, when you come in, hey, what are you good at?
You like talking to people?
No. Well, then we're not going to ask you to make phone calls or go out and knock on doors.
What do you like? Can you repost stuff?
I don't have a TikTok.
I don't have an Instagram.
Every time I post something on Facebook, can you open up a TikTok and a thing saying CCRP for me?
And post that every day.
Just get us some exposure.
There's a job for everybody.
And we need to get people's strengths.
And that way people enjoy what they're doing.
Nobody's enjoying the process.
Guys, life is the journey.
You know what I mean? Even, you know, for example, I'm here with you.
I love talking to you about what's important in this country, in this community, and for us as Christian conservatives.
And I love telling people about my ideas.
And I love going to meetings and talking to people and explaining to people my ideas.
I'm going to win on July 18th, and it's going to be great.
For three seconds. And then it's back to work.
Now it's, we gotta get to work for this.
You know, it's not about the victory.
It's about the journey.
And that's why we need to enjoy this.
We need to Have fun while we're making phone calls or walking.
How many people say, oh, I would never greet my family to any CCRP meeting or function?
The hell is that?
Why aren't we having the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, like a real Santa Claus, handing out bikes and stuff?
Why aren't we having a fireworks extravaganza at the Red Rock or at the Ahern?
Why isn't the Ahern just, you know, here Ahern is, you know, $12,000.
Let's hire Gucci. Let's do our own little fireworks spectacular.
Free hot dogs and hamburgers and soda.
There you go. Ahern will make a ton of money.
We would have a ton of fun.
Maybe get a couple musicians or a DJ to play some patriotic music.
Get a little Lee Greenwood and no Bruce Springsteen.
And we'll be all set, man.
Aaron Lewis and Kid Rock.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, what you're seeing is brilliant because it's community building.
And to be honest with you, at America Happens, we've been working a lot on that.
Community building is so essential.
We haven't been very successful in community building within our Republican Party.
And I'm not pointing fingers at anybody.
All I know is that there is a lot more people that could be brought into the party with the right kind of messaging.
And these people seem to be turned off with what's happening.
I mean, not just here, but in a lot of different Republican parties around the country.
So, why has that been going on?
Why haven't we been better about bringing, you know, bees to the honey, so to speak?
Why haven't people felt excluded out of the party?
And why haven't we been able to grow the party into, like, frankly, I mean, there's a lot of issues that concern, you know, minorities of all kinds that are within the Republican Party.
We at least profess to address those issues or want to address those issues.
Why aren't we bringing these people into the Why aren't we making our party stronger?
When Jesse won two years ago, we had a meeting with like 650 people.
We had a Christmas party that December with hundreds of people, including my wife.
My co-workers who I brought to meet people like you and everybody else and it was nice and people dressed nice and we smiled and we talked amazingly little about politics and we enjoyed each other's company.
I'm sorry.
What has happened?
From one Christmas till the next.
What has happened?
Why didn't we build upon that stuff?
And this is during an election year.
This was in 2022.
The Christmas party of 21 was terrific.
And then that whole election year, we didn't have I mean, for some reason now in 23, we have candidate development, but we didn't have that then.
We didn't have any functions.
The only functions we had is, I saw you there.
There's a hundred people and 20 at a time.
We all went to a different function, a different church, a different bar, a different office, a different home.
And we listened to each other speak.
You know, that's not voter outreach.
That's not campaigning.
If anything, it's a rehearsal for a campaign.
You know, I've heard you speak, Vem.
You got my vote, Vem.
What are we doing here, Vem?
You know, I don't see somebody different that you're talking to, and I've already got my vote.
You know, why aren't we doing Things that require press.
You know, if those same 20 people, instead of going to the bar and listening to five of the 20 people talk to each other, what if all 20 of us went down to Three Square, donated four hours of our time, released a press release, and then you had time for one soundbite?
And I need one of you to say, that's right, the Clark County Republican Party really supports the community.
No! No F Democrats and they're coming for your kids and abortion is murder.
How about, you know, we love the community and we're here.
You know what I mean?
But, you know, People are fired up.
I told you. I'm fired up.
I invested my life, you know, for going on like seven years now into this because it's so important and because I'm so passionate about it.
But that doesn't mean we need to be screaming with, you know, pitchforks that, you know, the Democrats are, you know, secret communist Marxist, which, you know, they are.
But that doesn't have to be our sales pitch.
I'm not saying lie.
The truth is I do love the community.
I do want to help homeless people.
I do want to rehabilitate criminals.
I do want to give kids who punch the teacher a second chance somehow.
I want that too.
We all want what's meant for everybody.
But your public policy Can't be open borders and you could punch a teacher and come back to school the next day.
As much as I would love that beautiful family to come to America, you know, you can't have the entire world, four billion people, half the world, four billion people come to America, always cease to be America.
You know what I mean? It's a lot easier, you know, to see the family of four and say, how could you deny that?
Of course. That one kid that really is a sweet kid and he has no dad and, you know, maybe his mom is working two jobs or maybe his mom is, you know, doing drugs.
Whatever the case may be, the kid didn't deserve it and the kid punched a teacher and, you know, me, I am the person who would want to sit down and talk to that kid.
But that doesn't mean that could be the public policy.
So we need to separate, you know, public policy with, you know, Compassion.
And we need to be compassionate as individuals, but the government needs to take as little a role in this as possible and make everybody as safe as possible and do what's best for the community as a whole.
There's no such thing as equity.
There's no way the kid who's punching the teacher is going to end up in the same place as the kid who's studying every day.
It's impossible to create an equal outcome.
Exactly, exactly.
Now, let's talk about ballot harvesting.
When I ran in 2022, it was very obvious that the Democrats were using mass ballot harvesting.
And just to be very frank with you, one of the voices in the Republican Party that I heard say that we need to ballot harvest was actually Jesse Law.
I was sitting with him. Your camera turned off, I think.
Yeah. Is your camera okay?
Yeah, I got it. Okay.
So I was sitting with Jesse Law at a lunch meeting and he said, look, we got a ballot harvest.
And he was disappointed that there wasn't enough of that simply because not that we like ballot harvesting.
I think inherently ballot harvesting just sounds like a way to really corrupt these elections, but it seemed like a necessity.
And the issue that I found And I think Jesse was echoing, you know, the sentiment is that there wasn't enough of it happening in the Republican Party.
What do you think about that?
What do you think about how do we set up these organizations to actually ballot harvest, knowing that we can't actually win elections unless, you know, we're in the process of counting as many votes as possible?
All right well first of all I'm a quick study and I've been you know really doing a lot of research the past six months especially on things like ballot harvesting and the one thing you need is uh resources more so human resources than anything else and but of course we need financial resources as well the secret is going to be coordination we've got Probably a dozen,
if not more, wonderful Republican clubs.
Lady Republicans, men Republicans, conservative Republicans, Christian Republicans, church groups.
And the effort in 2022 was all over the place.
Everybody, some of these people worked so hard.
Could you imagine, you know, some lady named Jane Is really devoting her life to making phone calls and walking certain neighborhoods.
And then Margaret is also working that hard and doing the same thing.
And then we find out they're going to the same houses.
We find out they're overlapping.
Then we find out that they're arguing over who should be doing it, or who's doing a better job, or who's a better Republican.
All these people are devoting so much time and energy.
I see the CCRP as the head of an octopus.
We are going to have our own programs, but we are not going to compete.
We are going to find out what's going on with some of these groups.
I've talked to a couple of them have real headway made on the ballot harvesting program.
And what we need to do is get in a room, collect all of our knowledge together, and then with the help of the CCRP, Finding a way to organize and delegate different responsibilities so we could work at maximum efficiency.
And whether it's human resources, financial resources, ideas, contacts, that's what the CCRP needs to be.
Now, if there is no Well, very viable ballot harvesting system from a political PAC or from a Republican club already in place.
Well, then it will definitely be the CCRP's obligation.
To start the biggest ballot harvesting operation that Republicans could do.
And then when we are ballot harvesting, you gotta understand it's a different animal.
First of all, it needs to be noted that the legislature, I believe, just passed a $25 million grant towards the Culinary Union for efforts of ballot harvesting.
And obviously the Culinary Union is a democratic organization.
And we're trying like heck to raise $25,000 for ballot harvesting.
They just got a grant from our tax dollars for $25 million to do it.
So, I mean, you know, we're fighting an uphill battle.
But if we're smart about it, we could come out on top.
Now, you know, to be honest, here you go.
Here's one of my ideas that I'm going to be releasing.
But with the advent of AI over the past 12 months, a lot of things have changed.
Now, what used to be called micro-targeting, it's where you find the undecided voters or you find the lazy Republicans and find out what motivates them.
Now, this micro-targeting used to be very tiresome.
You know, you would have to go on to their social media.
You would have to go on to public tax records to find out if they're owning or renting or find out, you know, where they work, what's their job, what's their zip code.
And through micro-targeting, you could discover what would motivate this person to go vote.
Well, with the advent of AI, It's just like anything else with AI that is about writing summaries.
You talk about paralegals and they're talking about these types of jobs are most at risk from AI because they're able to go with the flow and use the whole universe of information in order to give you whatever you ask.
One paragraph, five paragraphs, some data, whatever it is, AI could do that.
You know, in seconds.
And it's evolving exponentially right now.
Now, with that technology, you could use that technology to micro-target, which is something that used to take many people, countless hours of research through public records, through social media, and so on and so forth.
AI can do that job for us.
And that's what we need to do is be strategic.
We're not going to drop a ballot harvesting box outside some low-income housing and then knock on everybody's door and drop just bundles of ballots.
That's the kind of ballot harvesting the other team does, and that's probably why they're winning.
We're not going to be able to employ the same strategy, because conservatives and Republicans tend to live in less dense areas, just as a matter of fact, because they like freedom, they like property ownership, they like stuff like that.
It's a different demographic.
But if we use the previously felonious ballot harvesting strategies, We need to be very strategic and we need to utilize things such as AI and micro-targeting so that way that guy that you know if he shows up he's gonna vote Republican, but he don't always show up, we need to have somebody at his house.
We know when he gets his ballot, we know That he's, you know, going to be home over the weekend.
We know that he knows a guy that knows Vem.
So Vem, you know, we're going to have to grind out those votes.
That is what the early vote, the mail-in vote, the ballot harvesting, that is what we as Republicans need to concentrate on.
Because even whether you call it cheating or you call it You know, playing within the rules or whatever it is you want to call the new democrat strategy for winning elections.
You know, we can't do it the same way they do it.
But with their procedures, we're still right there in Nevada.
Now, I don't know, is that by design?
So that way it doesn't look too bad.
You know, maybe they can always be just there.
Just no matter how many votes we get, they'll always have a little bit more, you know.
I'd like to tackle that as well one day, but the bottom line is I feel like, you know, we're the head of the octopus and we need to coordinate everything, get them going in the same direction.
Ballot harvesting, we need to use mathematical minds like mine to be deliberate, coordinated, not have people stepping on each other's toes, everybody working together and rowing in the same direction, and we can really overcome With just the Republicans who were too lazy or the undecideds who think Trump is Hitler.
Mm-hmm. Totally, totally.
So I have to, I'm gonna give a little bit of a rant right now because we did an episode with Nephi Kaliki regarding, you know, his candidacy, but really it turned out to be an episode of Nephi talking about his investigations of the Jesse Law.
Michael McDonald making a lot of serious allegations, right?
Serious allegations that they are essentially making a lot of money on the side, that they're using these volunteer positions where you're not supposed to be paid to essentially enrich themselves.
That was the whole point of the episode.
And I have to be very clear here because I think during that episode I said it's probable, I might have used the word probable, that such corruption is happening.
And I want to be clear, I wasn't necessarily talking about Michael McDonald and Jesse Law, I'm just talking about that kind of corruption in general.
A.k.a. Joe Biden, where he uses his office to enrich himself.
A lot of under-the-table bribes, a lot of payola, blah, blah, blah.
It's very possible. I'm sure we all know that this is happening on a rampant level in our Congress.
And frankly, you know, organizations like BlackRock talk openly about how it takes $10,000 to buy a congressional member or senator, right?
They've been very clear about that.
We've heard people like Klaus Schwab talk about how he owns parliaments and he owns politicians.
So it's pretty clear that there is massive, rampant corruption happening.
We know that.
Whether Michael McDonnell and Jesse are a part of that, that's to be determined.
We obviously need to see the evidence.
But our goal here is for every single candidate, all four candidates, to have their piece.
And when Nephi was able to speak, that's the topics that he chose to speak upon.
And again, we are a neutral party in all this.
We are letting every candidate speak, right?
But here's the inherent issues I find, right?
What you're talking about in terms of CCRP chair sounds like a full-time job.
It sounds like a full-time job involving so much strategy, so much moving parts.
When you're talking about the head of an octopus, I mean, unless that head of the octopus is operating on full-cylinder, full-time level, I just don't see how the head of that octopus controls all the tentacles of the octopus.
That's my issue, right?
Where inherently, these being non-paid positions, I don't think help because when you have non-paid positions, are you really going to get the best and the brightest?
Let's say it's like a...
You know, paid position, but the pay sucks.
But you lure in people that are used to getting paid more.
But you know what? They'll say, rather than me getting six figures, I'm down with like 50,000 a year or whatever they're going to give me to make my basic ends meet so I could do this job.
Whatever it is, it seems like this is an intense job.
So structurally, it doesn't make sense why these jobs pay nothing.
And I'm not trying to say that...
Them getting paid nothing equals an avenue to corruption because they need to make something.
You know what I mean? There is always that excuse, right?
But we've seen how congressional members that get paid $200,000 a year, not a bad pay, they still do corrupt things.
They still are taking payroll.
They're still taking, quote unquote, envelopes of money in there, right?
So it's not like the corrupt will always be corrupt regardless of how much money they're making because the guy making $200,000 is gonna wanna make five, $10 million a year.
But inherently, I'm looking at you right now going, oh man, you know, this is a 40-hour week job.
How is Johnny going to handle this when he's not getting paid?
You know, it's, what is it, July 6th today?
Right? What did our father do?
They pledged their reputations, their fortunes, and their lives.
Thankfully, I don't necessarily think I'm risking my life.
I don't have much of a fortune.
And I have a very good reputation, which, to be honest, my wife is sometimes worried about.
You know, heaven forbid that, you know, somebody tries to...
You know, maybe I'm hurting the wrong person and they're going to try to hurt me.
You know, inadvertently.
I'm inadvertently hurting them and they are purposely hurting me.
You know, this is a chance.
You know, I'm not here because...
I want to be. I want to be blue-pilled.
I want to go on vacation and watch Disney movies.
I want to have a white picket fence and swing on a tire swing and, you know, maybe own a horse one day, you know?
I mean, that's what I want for my kids.
But if we don't do something, it's slipping away from us so fast.
And then you say, you know, Why would somebody do this?
That's why government is out of control right now.
We're not supposed to be full-time government.
You know what I mean? I wish I could be president of the United States one day, you know, so I could get rid of the Department of Education and get rid of everything that's unconstitutional.
You know, I wish that we could just really, really, really have a reset.
Now I know that's never going to happen, You know, but that's my utopia.
So I don't, I understand.
And I understand what it is.
You know, Infinity of the Math Institute, like I said, I lost a lot of money, you know, doing that.
And changed a lot of lives.
And it was worth it. And it would have been, I'm telling you right now, I know for sure we'd have four locations right now if COVID never happened.
For sure. But That was...
I changed people's lives.
I paid to do it.
And I did it every day.
So if I'm not losing money, I'm going to have to buy a couple of new suits.
I might buy myself a new laptop.
But otherwise, you know, I'm going to dedicate my life to CCRP as I dedicated it to infinity because it's something I'm passionate about.
This is something that I love, and I think it's something that will pay dividends in the future financially when it was in terms of infinity and Liberty or whatever in terms of the work that I would be doing at CCRP. I'm doing it because I love the journey and because it has an outcome that I'm hoping.
Infinity was opened not to make money, but to help the community.
I'm running for CCRP not to make money, But to help the community.
And everything I've always done has been that way.
Money has never been my primary driver.
I've owned many businesses, but I'm not a millionaire.
You know, I owned a sign store.
I had relationships with all of the commercial businesses within a 10-mile radius of my sign store.
I knew everybody. My landscaping business, I had a personal relationship with a hundred families that I went every week to cut their lawn and do special stuff if they were having a party or help carry in the groceries if we got there at the same time and so on and so forth.
It's always been about the journey of the community for me.
It's never been about a get-rich-quick scheme.
And I've seen get-rich-quick schemes and I've turned the other way.
You know, when I was a kid in New York, I got this job over the summer where it was totally legal and we were selling stereo speakers.
But the sales pitch was to pretend it wasn't legal because that way people would think they were getting a better deal.
Wow. So we would go to the parking lots of like, you know, they didn't have Walmarts and...
And Audio Express back then, but whatever was the equivalent, Sam Ash or Sam Goody in New York.
Anyway, so we would go outside those places and look for people who looked like they would buy a speaker off the back of the truck and we'd sell speakers for, you know, 120 bucks each for nice big speakers.
It was pretty cool, you know, and the stores would sell them for 450.
But it was totally legit.
And every speaker I sold, I got like 75 bucks and I was like 18, 17 years old.
It was great. And I was making a lot of money, but I didn't like it.
I didn't like it. I didn't feel right about it.
So I went back to cutting lawns, making less money, working a lot harder, but enjoying it and being proud of the work I was doing.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, clever marketing gimmick, though.
I got to give it to you. I mean, the whole, like, hey, it's illegal.
Like, people are, you know, that's what it is.
It's like they want... It fell off the back of the truck, you know?
Yeah, yeah. Everybody wants a nice piece of electronics that fell off the back of the truck in New York.
Yeah, yeah. So, you know, let's talk about Jesse Law a little bit, because that's obviously your greatest opposition.
He's the current chair of CCRP. And like I said, he's been much maligned with these accusations that Nephi has been making.
I gotta Because it's a weird situation I'm in, right?
Because I actually ran for office.
And my experience, I just got to be transparent about it.
Because I heard other people had different experiences.
And for me, it's hard to tell whether these are just candidates that maybe didn't see the outcomes they wanted.
And they're bitter about it. So I didn't know about other people's experiences.
What my experience was with the GOP. And straight up, this is 100% the truth, right?
Jesse Law did help me.
You know, he was very, I think, intelligent about what was happening in terms of, you know, knowing that we needed ballot harvesting at a time where still a lot of Republicans were skeptical and it turned out, hey, in 2022, if we had done ballot harvesting, if we were organized to the level of what you're talking about, we would have actually maybe had a chance.
I mean, obviously, there's the question of, you know, voter fraud.
Are they just doing this the whole time?
You know, even though we get more votes, they're just going to create more votes.
That is going on. I also got to give credit to Alita Benson at the office.
Can I just make an interjection if you don't mind?
Sure, sure, go ahead. Let's not forget that Stavros Anthony and Andy Matthews both won.
Joe Lombardo was going to win no matter what.
I know the pulse of people who work on this trip.
I know the pulse of the regular.
Sisolak was going to lose no matter what.
So, you know, it was a primary.
Lombardo beat Joey Gilbert.
Lombardo became governor.
Yeah. But other than Lombardo, the only two Republicans who won were Andy Matthews and Stavros Antony.
And why? The Democrats didn't find a couple more votes in those races.
We won them.
Why? Because the whole Republican Party was behind them.
Every other candidate has had someone calling them a rhino or calling them a wackadoo or calling them the wrong candidate or calling them a Nazi or whatever it is that they're racist.
Two candidates had the unwavering support of everybody in the Republican Party, and those two candidates won.
And that is the job, is to coordinate and get everybody together.
But I'm sorry, continue. Yeah, so, I mean, I was just saying my piece because I'm in a tough situation.
I'm doing these interviews. Obviously, Nephi went pretty ballistic on Jesse and Michael McDonald.
And, you know, frankly, a lot of people are upset.
People are telling me to remove that episode.
You know, in my point of view is you got four candidates.
You let these four candidates speak.
In fact, following these four interviews, which we're interviewing every candidate, by Friday night we'll have every single candidate.
Then I think there should be a debate for these individuals to debate each other and talk about it openly because, you know, at America Happens in Blood Money, we're all about transparency, 100% transparency, 100% freedom of speech.
So I've been a little ticked off at these people that are asking me to remove that episode because everybody's got to talk.
I can't censor Nephi.
If I do the same thing to Nephi that CNN and Fox News and MSN are doing to, you know, a lot of Republicans, it's like we're just the same crap at that point.
So we have to let these people talk.
But I also have to say my point of view, which is that when I ran for office, Jesse Law was very helpful.
Very helpful. When I ran for office, Alita Benson was very helpful.
At that time, Jessica Hansen was still here.
Before she moved, she was very helpful.
Holden was very helpful. I actually had a positive experience with the GOP in general.
I didn't see a lot of the issues that people are talking about.
But I also saw a lot of people, you know, frustrated.
I also saw lack of organization, the whole ballot harvesting thing.
I would have thought that, you know, it would have been clever for exactly what you're saying, get all these Republican organizations together.
Nephi was mentioning about the, you know, concealed carry folks, where that there's something like 200,000 of them that are all pro-Second Amendment, and yet a lot of them aren't voters.
And bringing those people in, there seems to be very clever organizational things that we could do.
And my one gripe Is that none of that happened?
I agree.
I mean, you know, I think, you know, I really, I was Jesse's biggest champion.
You know what I mean? And when I first started getting involved in the county and the state politics, you know, you know, I would do anything to help Republicans get elected.
I mean, you know, I was team Republican.
I don't like Being told to delete something or to not share something.
Now, you know, just like many times on my pages and stuff or my show, I would cover what CNN says.
Why? Because I want people to hear what they're saying.
And, you know, when taking a context, it's silly.
But no matter what, the truth and what's important and our values will always shine through.
So, you know, I was very, Jesse Law was very, very upset that I shared Margaret White whining about, you know, what was going on at the CCRP. And I wasn't doing it by any means as a As an endorsement of what she was saying, because I just like to hear what everybody has to say, and I want everybody to hear everything, so that way everybody can make an educated decision.
You know, and Jesse hired her as his chief of staff, and then she quits, and she was bitter, and she's upset, and she says her piece.
That's that. You know, that's that.
You listen to her.
You listen to Jesse.
We make a decision.
We move on. Yeah.
You know, and Margaret White has, you know, not been heard from very much since then.
You know, maybe it's because I shared her podcast.
I don't know. You know, maybe it's because she's had it.
Maybe, who knows?
You know, I saw she was on one of Nephi's shows, so she hasn't disappeared entirely.
But nonetheless, you know, I... Don't like being told that I shouldn't be talking, especially to other Republicans.
I want to talk to everybody, but especially all Republicans.
Yeah, yeah. At Blood Money, we've been accused of all sorts of things.
Apparently, this episode we did is destroying the party.
We're not the guys that we've lost.
There's been three election cycles that people have been left unsatisfied.
People are disheartened.
I didn't do that, right? So it's just interesting that the minute we started to talk about this stuff, because it has to be talked about, this thing's kind of in this...
You know, it's like a soda can that you shook like this and the bottle top is still on.
And frankly, the bottle top has to be removed because that soda can is about to blow up.
That's what it feels like. And I'm sorry that some of this stuff is being publicly aired, but like, what other option do you have right now with the level of frustration there is?
Because this might not be a Michael McDonald, Jesse Law issue.
It might be an organizational issue.
It might be that through, you know, talking about this, having open dialogue and pretty much putting their feet to the fire.
That's a big thing because you could have all the private conversations you want and people feel, you know what, my feet's not in the fire.
Sometimes you have to put people in the fire.
That's what I love about that tough love approach that you have because you need to put the pressure on them.
They need to feel like, you know, and I say this to friends, you know what I mean?
like Jesse Law, I consider a friend, right?
Because he was very helpful.
He's one of the reasons I joined the Republican Party because I saw a fresh face, somebody that had a youthful vibe that was, kind of felt more akin to who I am.
And I saw a lot of similarity there.
So I see like huge upsides.
This might not be a Jesse Law, Michael McDonald issue, but is there an issue?
Yes, there is.
Is there an issue that's been suppressed?
Yes.
And maybe the way to bring that issue to light is put people's feet to the fire and make sure that the right things happen I mean, do you disagree or agree with that concept?
No, I agree entirely.
I mean, again, for the third time, you know, I championed Jesse's ascent.
To the chair and I was really excited.
And when we were having those great Christmas parties and these fully attended meetings, I was taking pictures of everybody.
I was live streaming the stuff.
I was doing everything I can to continue to promote the brand and make it look like we were having fun.
Taking the pictures, that's so people can see them.
People love to say, oh, I went to the gala or the Christmas party, and oh, there's so-and-so, and oh, and there's Alita, and there's Jessica, and oh my god, and you know, it just makes it more fun.
That's all I ever was trying to do.
But then, you know, again, Jesse got upset that I shared that thing, but whatever.
The thing that upset me, and you know, it's really not It's more personal for me.
It's not like these outlandish accusations like Nephi may have made where, you know, he's saying that people are stealing millions of dollars.
You know, I asked Jesse.
Jesse, I consider a friend.
We played music together, everything else.
And I still consider him a friend, even though I don't think he considers me a friend because I'm running.
But... But I never knew what he did for a living.
And that bothered me.
Me and you are kind of friends, but I would definitely say I was closer with Jesse than I am with you now.
But I know what you do.
I know a little bit about you.
There's all kinds of people in the party that I know.
Whether it's Jessica Hansen, who's now moved.
You're talking about people I barely even know, but I know what they do for a living.
All the people that I met.
Whether you're talking about Sally Minster, she owns a pool company, she went to Arizona State or something.
I know all these little things about everybody I've met at the CTRP, but I never knew anything about Jesse except that he studied opera singing and he worked for Trump.
And it bothered me. And then finally, you know, and so in March, the people who had approached Jill Douglas and are now backing Jill Douglas, they originally came to me.
I was their first pick.
If they could have anybody at the CCRP run on their behalf, they thought about it long and hard, and they came to me first.
And I said, no, you know, I'm sorry, I still support Jesse.
And, you know, they gave me a few days.
They gave me like five days to think about it, which I appreciated.
And, you know, I love the thought of organizing everything and getting everybody to get along and stop with all the, you know, baloney and soap opera stuff.
You know, I had these visions.
Oh, I could, you know, I could really, really do it.
Mm-hmm. I said, no, you know, I support Jesse.
You know, even if he's mad at me over Margaret White or whatever, or if he doesn't return my calls when I want to play music, or even if I don't know where he works, you know, I still support Jesse.
Oh, he's going to Mar-a-Lago like in February or March.
You know, I still support Jesse.
And then in April, I found an article in the Nevada Independent about where he worked.
And he worked for this company.
He was on the board.
And, you know, it was like this company that was traded on the Nasdaq that like buys stuff or like executes deals and like they buy stuff, improve it and flip it, like flipping houses, but they're doing it with like ideas or media entities or something like that.
And, you know, sometimes or all the time, and I don't know, don't quote me exactly, but I know some of their financing comes from BlackRock and I'm sure You know, BlackRock has their finger in everything because they're worth, like, what?
They have control of, like, 15 trillion dollars or something like that, or whatever it may be.
So I'm sure they're everywhere, but When I found out, you know, from this that this is what he was doing, you know, when all I knew was he was like a consultant or something.
But like he's on the board of like a company that's being traded on Nasdaq.
He's working with these major players and that's like exciting.
It's like, oh, you know, I went to Mar-a-Lago.
I worked for Trump. Wow, that's exciting.
Well, I'm working with this big company and we're thinking about, you know, brokering a deal to buy the National Enquirer.
Whoa, you know, that's the kind of things I want to talk to my friends about.
Like, you know, you're going to start a new show.
After Blood Money, you're going to have another show.
Wow, cool, Vem. So when I'm finding out all this stuff from the newspaper, I didn't really like it too much.
And people besides the original people who had started with me, then went to Dave Crete.
Dave Crete found out that he was making some headway on some nuclear leakage radiation case that is You know, kind of like asbestos for veterans and stuff like that.
So Dave Crete went off into that direction.
And, you know, he had run in 2021.
So maybe they weren't too sure that he was going to win.
But he was definitely doing something very noble.
Then they settled on Jill.
And they've been working very, very hard for Jill.
And, you know, it's unfortunate that, you know, now I'm like, oh, I'm back, you know.
But anyway, so then people, a couple different people, continued to see if I wanted to run for chair, and I started again thinking about, you know, maybe You know, maybe I don't 100% back Jesse, right?
So they're like, listen, so they're like, listen, we got all this information on Jesse, but we're going to try to corroborate it before we tell anybody.
And I'm like, I don't want to know, you know, it's all good.
You know, I'll find out when you tell everybody else.
They're like, you know, you run for chair, you know, we'll tell you now.
And I'm like, no, it's okay.
It's okay. You know, you know, I'll listen to you guys whenever you release it.
And then finally, um, Then finally they said, listen, oh, here, you know, read this article.
So I read this article about Jesse getting sued and Ross Miller being involved and Seagal Chata being involved and Jesse Law being involved.
And I'm like, what is going on here?
Like, this doesn't make any sense.
And so I figured I'd do my own digging.
So I said, okay.
I go, first of all, you're right.
You know, because of my own personal reasons, I'll run against Jesse.
I think he's got too much going on.
I don't think that we should have a chairman that, you know, his whole life is a secret.
I understand. Everybody deserves their privacy.
But if you want to be the leader of 350,000 Republicans in Clark County, you're going to have to be a little bit more of an open book than the regular Joe who wants to have complete privacy.
So I started looking into it.
I heard all this stuff.
And just so you know, what I heard is what I'm going to say.
I don't want anybody to clip this and think that I'm spreading rumors.
But I heard stuff like Ross Miller and Jesse Law are best friends and Ross Miller hired Jesse Law and Seagal Chata and then Ross Miller hired Seagal Chata to sue Jesse Law and The stories were crazy, and I'm thinking, I know all these people, and can all this stuff really be going on in this other stratosphere that nobody knows about, you know?
So I said, let me look into it.
So I called, the first thing I did is I called Jesse.
And I said, Jesse, I actually went, I saw her, I said, listen, you know, all these people are suing Vemco, the company he works for, and all the board of directors, including you.
I go, do you even work for this company?
It says it in the newspaper, but I never even heard that from him.
Do you work for this company?
Are you getting sued?
Did you do something wrong?
What's going on? He's like, no.
I've got to make a living, which people always say that.
I've got to make a living. And I'm just on the board.
I go there like once a month.
I don't really have anything to do with the day-to-day stuff.
And it's unfortunate.
Some things happened.
But these people, I'm an innocent bystander.
These people just lost their money.
And that's what they do.
They sue the company or they sue the board of directors individually.
But it really doesn't necessarily have anything to do with me.
I was like, all right, you know.
And then I called Seagal Chata.
And I said, Seagal, you know, are you suing Jesse Law?
And she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
She's like, she's suing Vemco on behalf of a couple of investors.
And most of the stuff for some of the stuff that happened was before Jesse was even there.
And Jesse's not named in the lawsuit.
And Jesse is adjacent to it.
But, you know, she is not suing Jesse.
And I accepted that.
And then I find out, you know, there's this whole thing going on with people, you know, starting up a GoFundMe and doing this thing to, in order to garner the forces of like, say, 1,200 or 12,000, I'm not sure, people who lost fortunes.
Some of them, their life savings, some of them, you know, whatever it may be, you know, all got together, started a GoFundMe in order to We're good to go.
Could Jesse have been an innocent bystander?
Like, are you just suing Jesse because he's on the board of directions?
Or is there something he did in particular that make you focus on him and focus your angst on him?
And, you know, the guy said, you know, I'm sorry.
You know, apparently he's like, I'm a Republican or something as well.
I'm not trying to, you know, ruin somebody's life who could possibly be an innocent bystander.
That's not the kind of person I am.
But this is what happened and this is why we're suing Jesse and this is why, you know, either, you know, he's...
Either he's in on it, or if it was done on purpose, or he didn't do a good job because when he started on the board, the stock was at like $20 a share.
And now just like eight months later, he's still on the board and the stock price is like $1.27 or something.
And they're about to lose their standing on the NASDAQ. And I just watched and, you know, like I didn't even come on to talk about this, but it really matters because why would I support Jesse Law so fervently and now run against him?
I hope. I wish nothing but the best for him.
I hope he's right.
You know, he was just on the board of this thing.
He's not really liable and he's not really responsible for these people losing their money.
You know, I hope.
I just think that also, you know, you have Michael McDonald and Bradford.
We just signed these immunity deals where they testified.
We got into six electors because we in Nevada have six electoral votes.
So we did that electorate thing, which In practice, I agreed with, you know, just like Hawaii did for John F. Kennedy, and I think it was 1960 or something like that, which proved important.
But, you know, so I don't necessarily think the people who did this are wrong, but apparently, and I don't know everything, a lot of things are happening, and that's why...
I'm sorry, I keep going off on tangents.
Let me try to stay focused. So, these two of the gentlemen signed immunity deals and then answered all the questions.
I just want to know what happens to the other four people.
Because we have a weaponized DOJ and they're trying to get Republicans.
Yeah. So if two of the six signed an immunity deal, what does that mean to the other four?
I don't know. But Jesse's one of those other four.
So you're talking about Jesse and Michael McDonald signed an immunity deal, just to clarify.
No, not Jesse.
Jim Grafenreid.
Okay, okay. Not Jesse.
Okay. The other people, you know, I don't even want to bring up their names, whatever.
There were six of them total, but I'm...
I was 100%.
Now I'm 99% sure that it was Michael McDonald and Jim Graffner.
But nonetheless, what does that mean to the other four people, Jesse Law being one of them?
Is he going to be under investigation from the DOJ, just like they did with the January 6th?
And again, I agree with Jesse 100%.
If I was given the opportunity to be an alternate elector for Donald Trump, I would have...
With bells on, you know?
And imagine I went to jail for it, you know what I mean?
Imagine he went down to support Trump on January 6th and he didn't really do much.
He walked around the Capitol a little bit, not even inside.
You know, we're living in scary times.
We're living in scary times.
So, my point is, I hope Jesse's okay.
I hope Jesse is as innocent as can possibly be.
But it doesn't look good.
And even if it all works out for him, he's gonna have his hands full.
And this is the most important election we ever had coming up.
And, you know, there's other details and you guys can look up to other details and stuff like that, but just to put a bow on it besides the other details that if you're interested, there's a lot of layers to this.
But today, I think, three of the board members resigned.
So now there's only two board members left out of the five.
I don't know what that means, but Jesse didn't resign.
Also, Jesse was an independent.
So he was privy to certain information because he was an independent individual.
No political affiliation.
But he's the chairman of the Republican Party.
So either he isn't registered as a Republican, and that would make him not able to be in the CCRP, but I think he is.
Or he lied to become a board member or they didn't check to see his registration or...
I mean seriously dude I mean that is one where it's like come on dude google and you find out in two seconds you're telling me somebody didn't google his name I mean the whole that that part of it just feels like there was other people involved in that transaction frankly there's no way you could not find that out I mean it's like you don't even do a minuscule research I go into meetings And people have freaking dossiers about who I am.
They've done their research for a random business meeting so they know who they're dealing with.
And you're telling me a company that makes somebody part of their board doesn't know that they're running the CCRP? I don't know.
You know, apparently he's friends with a guy named Farnsworth or something that got him the job.
And this guy Farnsworth, if I'm not mistaken, was a Republican politician in Arizona.
And now he's... He got in trouble for something else, and they're saying what he did to get in trouble is like the same thing he's doing with this company.
Again, I'm not here to connect the dots.
Obviously, I just told you, you know, whether you're talking about these things going on on one side, or you're talking about the, you know, allegations of, you know, fixing elections or what, all this stuff, I'm I'm one of the regular members.
I've never seen behind the curtain because they kept me at arm's length.
I'm a smart guy. I have a lot to offer.
I've always said anything I could do, especially mathematically or media-related, speaking-related.
You know, and I've never been taken up on the offer.
I've expressed a willingness to run for office, but I didn't want to just do it.
I wanted them to do what I want to do for other candidates.
Like, help me. Sculpt me.
Say, hey, John, before you run for office in two years, why don't you join this charity and that'll look good on your resume or something that, you know, John, fix your teeth.
You know, you could be even prettier if you got, you know, like, I think you would be perfect to run in this district.
I heard you don't own a home.
Would you be interested in moving there for two years and then running?
I was always open to doing whatever.
I have no history, no baggage.
I'm a hard worker. I'm a smart guy.
Nobody wanted my help.
You know what I mean? And then when I'm recording the live streams, they bum rush me and tell me I'm not allowed to do that anymore without even a phone call saying, hey, by the way, I know you've recorded every meeting or live streamed every meeting for two years.
I just want to let you know that when your cameraman shows up with all the equipment and everything else, that we're going to turn him away at the door.
You know, when he gets there an hour early to set up and everything.
As a service, a free service to you.
Mm-hmm. I mean, anything.
Look, from our point of view, everything has to be on camera.
Everything should be recorded, including assembly meetings, including congress meetings.
There should be nothing behind closed doors.
If it's behind closed doors, pretty much some shady shit is going on, frankly.
We can talk about money.
We can turn off the cameras if we're talking about money.
We're talking about a particular strategy.
I mean, there's some things that shouldn't be public as far as strategy or X's and O's about our particular finances, but the membership should know all that and have access to that.
Yeah, exactly. You know, we got some Twitter feeds, right, based upon this topic.
If you don't mind, I'm going to show you some of them.
And let's just talk through it because it has to do with the situation with Vinco and Jesse Law.
So here, we'll just click that on here.
All right. So sorry about the wonkiness of that.
It's right in between us. You want to cover me up?
You know, it's fine.
It's fine. We've been, like, rushing through these.
Normally we would format them to fit the whole screen.
But, you know, take a read of that.
I'm going to flash them one by one.
And let's just talk through, I don't know if you've seen these Twitter feeds, but let's just talk through.
No, this is actually the responses to me.
Again, I wanted to highlight how I do business.
When I hear rumors about people, whether it's Jesse or Seagal or Vem or Tony Lane or any Jesse Law, I call people and I talk to them because that's what matters.
You know, too many people jump and start spreading the rumors on social media and they hurt people's lives.
I'm not here to hurt anybody.
Again, I wish the best to Jesse.
I just, you know, and this is how I do business.
Not only did I go up to the people I knew, such as Seagal or Jesse, but I reached out to these people and said, listen, You know, let me get a gauge of how these people operate.
And I found them sincere.
And this is them responding to me saying, with all due respect, you know, could Jesse be an innocent bystander here?
Mm-hmm.
Here, I'm going to flash another one here.
Oh, well, what are the first ones?
All right. Oh, sorry. You know what?
I could bring that back. It's funny, I keep looking down at my text messages, because while this is all going on, I'm getting texts about, you know, people really seem to be, like, wanting me to remove that Nephi episode.
Really? Yeah, man, yeah.
And I'm just like, you know, it's not even, you know, we're getting accused of all sorts of things, but it's like...
How could we play by their playbook, right?
We're trying to be the...
We're saying rage against the mainstream media, right?
That's our motto. And you're just talking about...
You can go to the next one. They're just talking about when Farnsworth became the co-CEO and there was some kind of a court ruling because they were hemorrhaging money.
And apparently, and again, I don't want to be the source of information for this stuff, but I'm just kind of synopsing what you're seeing.
Apparently, Ross Miller was appointed by a judge to be the CEO, and Ross Miller was listed as the Democrat County Commissioner, but Jesse Law was then named to the board by Farnsworth somehow, and he was listed as a nonpartisan negotiator or something like that.
Yeah, and that's kind of what it's saying right here.
Right, so what they're saying is when this happened, the five board members, at least three of which were appointed by Farnsworth, you know, were not the board's fiduciary or Number one priority should be representing the interests of the shareholders.
And they weren't doing that.
And then here, it's like, yeah, exactly.
This is where it requires at least three to be independent.
And two members from Zash, which was another company that went belly up and people lost all their fortunes.
And then the other...
So then the three independents were these bottom three people who were replaced by Jesse, I think.
I can't see the bottom line.
Oh, it says the other three were Michael DiSacio, Elliot Goldstein, Philip McFillin.
Right, and apparently one of these dudes was like the gay lover of Theodore Farnsworth or something, or the domestic partner.
I think that's what that means, right?
Oh, Ted Farnsworth, right.
Here's another one. and by the way for the viewers we're not going to show everything here we got about 20 of these slides we're going to show about five of them and just talk about in generality but you could actually um you could see the handles here you could find uh all this information i don't know how to connect the dots but you know and i don't want to misrepresent something obviously everything i'm doing is because you know i'm just reading and i'm reaching out to people i'm And again,
I'm not here to connect the dots.
You know, I'll let you, internet sleuths, do it.
Or you're a great investigative journalist, Vem.
Maybe you could discover more about this.
But, you know, I just...
It doesn't sit well with me.
I don't like it.
I don't like...
I don't like it.
You know? I don't like that Jesse didn't tell me where he worked.
And maybe I'm being too sensitive.
But that's the main reason I'm running.
The more I dig down the hole, the more, you know, bad it gets.
They're talking about some other unscrupulous things.
But again, I don't want to talk on things that I'm not somewhat at least close to an expert on.
But I hear there's a lot of things that are going to be happening over the next two weeks, from the Nevada Republican Club debates to we may be having A visitor here this weekend.
I know you have more interviews to go.
Nephi is going off in his direction.
You know, I've talked to Jill for hours.
I think she's really, really great and she's going to be instrumental When I'm the chairman because she's going to be the number one conduit to all these Republican clubs she's, you know, worked with and apparently she's gotten their support over the past few months and I'm hoping she maintains that support when she's helping me get everybody rolling in the same direction.
Again, and if Chessie Fixes everything.
I will steward the ship.
I was a Jesse Law fan, and I hope that he proves all these people wrong.
He straightens out his stuff, and I'll gladly steward the ship for two years and give it back to him.
I'm not trying to persecute, prosecute, or hurt Jesse.
I'm trying to steward the ship in a direction that I think the members deserve, and all the obvious stuff that people say we can implement.
Yeah, yeah. And, you know, just for my two cents, for what it's worth, I mean, you know, everybody's got an opinion.
I just see it structurally as this whole thing being messed up in terms of, you know, people that are doing what you're talking about doing, which is like being a CEO of an organization.
This is not volunteer level stuff need to be paid.
And that's not to make excuses for potentially Jesse having to look for other forms of, you know, revenue, of bending certain moral things like, you know, we all know he's not independent.
We all know he's a Republican, you know, the head of the CCRP. It's not hard to find.
It's pretty clear. It's pretty clear that whoever was involved in that transaction, they all knew there's no way that they don't know.
So it's not just Jesse. It seems to be like they're all in cahoots with each other.
God knows what's happening behind the scenes.
But structurally speaking, I think guys like you, guys like Michael McDonald, guys like Jesse, whoever's running the party, CCRP or the state party, there has to be some kind of conversation.
Compensation because this is like you're a war general.
Like you're not like, look, I get it like 20, 30 years ago is a different climate.
Right now it's war, okay?
This ballot harvesting thing, when I say war, I'm not talking about a physical war.
This is a war of sorts.
But that's a pack.
You know, that's, I mean, if you're talking like that, it's a pack.
And that's great. Packs are important.
If you or me, hypothetically speaking, you know, I am deemed to be the greatest conservative Republican leader here in Clark County.
And, you know, nefarious forces steal the election from who should have really won me.
And if I have a thousand people that are like ride or die, You know, with me, I could start a pack.
And I could tell everybody, hey, it's $100 a month because we're going to change the world.
And, you know, that's what some people are doing.
And, you know, if...
I'm not a drifter.
I want to make that clear.
Nothing I've ever done has been motivated by money.
Nothing. From my businesses, you know, to the CCRP, to my politics, to my podcast.
You know, I did hours, thousands of hours, at least...
To a podcast for nothing.
I never sought out investors.
I never accepted stars or money or anything.
You know, I've never been motivated by that.
And, you know, like running for school board, they'll pay you like something like $8,000 a year or something.
You know, I mean...
If they're giving school board members $8,000 a year, you give the CCRP chairman $8,000 a year, if you think that.
I mean, and if that's what the members want, I'll put that in for after I leave office.
You don't seem like you're trying to enrich yourself.
I get it. But then again, it's like $8,000.
Again, I just come back to the thing.
There's no way I look at this.
There's no way to send a full-time job.
But I do want everybody to remember two years from now, when it's July 1st, 2025, and we're having elections, I just want everybody to remember that whether I'm running or not, they're going to be the most transparent, Well run elections.
Period. And that's it.
There'll be no worries about people stealing passwords.
There'll be no worries about people, you know, not cooperating.
No meetings that are canceled at the last minute.
I'll tell you right now, I don't care if there's a tornado tearing through Clark County.
The meeting in March and the meeting in May, before the meeting in July, will go on as planned no matter what.
That's my vow to the Republicans in Clark County.
Because these games, even if they're not, they could be unintentional.
They could have been unfortunate circumstances.
But it makes people lose their faith and we need faith more than anything.
Yep, yep. Johnny, this has been a great interview.
I really appreciate you coming on the Blood Money Podcast.
You know, for what it's worth, you know, you have a lot of skill sets that I think could be beneficial.
I think, you know, you're liked as an individual.
I think your tough love, your New York attitude, all that stuff is really good.
And, you know, you seem to have a vision.
So, you know, best of luck in this race.
In closing, is there anything that we didn't talk about that you'd want to mention?
You know, websites where people could support you, whatever it is.
No, of course.
First of all, my campaign is called Johnny Brew for the Win.
And you could Google that.
I'm sure it'll get you to where you need to be.
But I primarily post on Facebook because I'm an old man and I refuse to download TikTok or Instagram or anything.
I'm on Twitter now. I'm up to like 100 followers.
So that's very exciting stuff for me.
But the truth of the matter is, If you go to thejohnnybrewshow.com, it'll bring you to my Facebook.
Or if you go to Facebook, you type in Johnny Brew for the win or Johnny Brew CCRP or on Twitter at thejohnnybrew.
All those things, you can always text me.
You can call me, but I prefer text first.
You know, the old, hey, got a minute to talk.
This is Vem Miller, you know, at 702-501-5304.
You could reach me at thejohnnybruffshow at gmail.com.
I could have started a Johnny Bruff or John Brook Agen for CCRP email for the three weeks of the campaign, but I figured it's all good.
You know, the professionalism can be seen on my Facebook every day.
There's another aspect of my plan.
To help organize, coordinate, raise money, and grow membership for the CCRP. How we're going to do that.
How people, you know, are going to be integral.
And, you know, I'm telling people, if you vote for me, it's coming with a price.
You know, you're going to have to step up.
And just like my kids, I'm going to be like, all right, we got to get to work now.
I don't want to hear about how the Democrats are trying to turn your boy into a girl.
I know that already. I need you to micro-target these 10 people and tell me what is the most important issue to those 10 people.
Go on Facebook, do what you gotta do.
That's the information I need.
And if you give me that information, I'll listen to you about how the Democrats are trying to turn your boy into a girl.
And I'll agree with you.
And I'll smile.
And we'll laugh.
And we'll beat them in 2024.
But we're going to have to get to work.
Everybody's going to have to work.
It's going to be fun.
And we're going to find something that you're good at and that you enjoy to do.
But we are going to have to put in work, just like you are right this minute, just like I am right this minute.
These are the kind of things that we're going to have to be going 24-7.
Even if I'm not there on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m., We're going to need somebody there Wednesday morning at 9 a.m.
So anybody who ever wants to, you know, maybe they're drunk or high and they just are feeling like a Republican and they want to sign up.
We need somebody there at 9 a.m.
to make sure that whatever the case may be, whatever is motivating people, we make them feel welcome.
They let them know what's going on and we capitalize on the involvement of more and more people.
Awesome. Awesome. Johnny, thank you so much for showing up to the Blood Money Podcast.
We really appreciate your time and really thank you for being, you know, so giving with your time.
You're talking about entering a job, you know, working 40 hours a week.
You're not going to get paid much.
So, you know, patriotism.
It's all about patriotism.
It's all about love for this country.
And thank you for having that love for this country.
And thank you for... I want to give you a plug if you don't mind.
I don't want to interrupt your outro, but...
I'm on the fringe of the podcasting world myself.
you know the work that you and travis and aisha and joey g and you know everybody that you got working with you and i see you guys you know going all over the country and trying to grow and i know you're grinding i'm sure you know you're hoping for a payday one day but i don't think you're getting rich quite yet so i just want to say you know i see you bro you know and i i'm impressed and godspeed with all your endeavors i know you uh Have a righteous, you know, motivation.
And God bless you. Thank you, man.
Thank you. God bless you, too. And thank you for naming all those individuals, because that's exactly what I was going to name.
Well, what did I miss, if you don't mind, while we're on Andrea?
I'm going to say all the names of people that have been instrumental thus far, and I'm hoping I don't forget anybody, because we're recording right now, and sometimes...
And you're on the spot. So obviously Travis Ebarb.
Obviously Travis Ebarb, you know?
Just can't say enough nice things about Travis Ebarb.
Aisha Khan, Joey Gilbert, Gianna Michelli, Andrea, who was with us early on.
She's obviously been busy with other stuff, but she's always there in spirit.
Mindy Robinson, let's not forget about Mindy.
You know, Lydia Dominguez, Corinne Clifford.
Hey, you know, Lydia's first interview was on the Johnny Brew Show and she published a book.
That's awesome. We love Lydia.
She is such a talented person.
And actually, I think somebody that's going to make huge waves in politics as well.
Who else? Corinne Clifford.
We can't forget Corinne.
Corinne is our bulldog in Washington, D.C. Anybody has the time to check out our HN News Live, you have to see this lady because she's just fire.
All these ladies are fire. And to be honest with you, we have a lot of Great guys, but man, these mama bear types are just on a different level.
I can't tell you. I went to the Moms for Liberty Summit.
I think it was in Philadelphia.
I think Lydia joined them.
I know Sherelle went somewhere in between a couple of pageants.
Yeah, I mean, Lorena, my children's advocate.
Lorena. So Lorena's not part of our team, but I got to tell you, man, these women are just incredible.
I give them so much credit.
I saw some footage of Lorena from Philadelphia that actually in a couple of hours we're going to have Lydia on the show talking about the Moms for Liberty conference.
Actually, this is probably going to air afterwards because we're probably going to program this tonight.
But... The long and short is these ladies were out there, I mean, getting into the thick of things.
Like, they were getting in the faces of these protesters and doing things that most of the dudes I know would be too scared.
In fact, while everybody was hiding out in the hotel rooms, guess what our three badass Nevada women were doing?
They were there in the front lines asking questions.
Why are you here? Why is it that you want to sexualize children?
I didn't see all of it.
I'm looking forward to your episode.
Yeah, we're going to have all that.
They're being told to F off, being told that they're Nazis, which is very hilarious.
Lydia Dominguez there is obviously of Mexican descent and being told she's a Nazi.
Just a lot of funny stuff, but they're brave and we're very happy that they're a part of the team.
So our XTEN team, I really apologize if I've forgotten anybody that's been helpful in our Building of America Happens, Blood Money, and all our different podcasts.
But a shout out to all the Patriots, from the Mama Best to the You know, there's people I barely know, like the Weaver is doing data analysis over there.
We got, you know, like you said, Jessica Hanson and Alita Benson.
We've got people like Mac Miller.
We got Matt Anthony and Jason Dick brought me into this like We've got people like David Orlov who's always contributed in photography.
John Petrick with the Thin Blue Line event.
We mentioned Sherelle Mendenhall.
I mean, there's just so many great people and I'm sorry to whoever I forgot.

We love you. And, you know, hopefully we didn't miss anybody, you know?
