775 Alive

The question of the role of Hispanics in American politics is one of the most important issues at the moment. Crystal and Scott sat down recently with Erica Neely, candidate for Nevada Assembly District 9 and founder of the Hispanic Latin Alliance, for a broad-ranging discussion of Hispanic issues and how they are currently impacting American and Nevadan politics.

David Flippo, Republican Candidate for Nevada CD-4 (https://www.flippo4nv.com)

Crystal and Scott recently sat down with David Flippo, Republican candidate for Nevada Congressional District 4 (CD-4). While it includes about a third of Las Vegas, it also encompasses a wide swath of the 775, including parts of 6 rural counties (Lincoln, Nye, Esmeralda, Mineral, Churchill, and Lyon). We sought to understand the dynamics of such a diverse district, one that requires candidates to address both rural and urban issues.

Recently retired City of Elko Police Chief Ty Trouten joins Crystal and Scott to discuss the current state of policing in rural America and across the nation. We delve into how policing has changed over his almost 30 year career, how the illegal drugs issue continues to be a core part of our crime issues, the concepts and experiences behind community-based policing, and questions about the intersections of crime, protesting, and rights.

Crystal and Scott sit down in Las Vegas with Dr. Aury Nagy, a neurosurgeon and Republican candidate for Nevada's Congressional District 3 (CD-3), to discuss one of the pressing issues of our time: healthcare. Dr. Nagy shares his experiences with the healthcare system and identifies a number of issues that need to be solved to make the American healthcare system functional again.

We are joined by Dr. Hank Thurston, CEO of Anthracene Softworks, an Elko, Nevada-based artificial intelligence company. Crystal and Scott engage Hank on his interests in AI, how AI and traditional forms of data modelling are different, and the problems inherent in AI design and use across construction, financial markets, and election fraud monitoring. The three of us also discuss how AI might benefit rural governments and economies.

As the federal shutdown over the FY26 budget continues, Crystal and Scott take a look at the issues swirling around the melodrama, including immigration, health care subsidies, and how the effort of House Republicans to restore the regular budgeting process may lead to a more active Congress in 2026. We also look at how the continuing shutdown impacts Nevada, where 28% of the budget is coming from federal funds.

President Trump's September 23rd speech to the UN General Assembly rejected two key components of modern international policy, climate change and mass immigration. Crystal and Scott discuss the ways that the UN has succeeded and failed over the years. We also delve into changes in American foreign aid policies since DOGE. Finally, the conclusion of Trump's speech is examined and what it might mean for the future of the UN.

The free speech debate after the Charlie Kirk assassination, especially around Jimmy Kimmel and the allegations of FCC influence, were followed closely by Crystal and Scott on both sides of the state. We finally had a chance to discuss the issue of what might have happened with the Kimmel suspension, as well as the role of the FCC and the freedom of speech. We also look at how an old media/new media conflict might be generating a lot of the rhetoric we are seeing.

Crystal and Scott recap their recent meetings in Las Vegas and the many topics that emerged in this initial effort to "Bridge The Gaps" across Nevada. Some of the topics covered include the Lithium Loop uniting northern and southern Nevada, rural media, the ongoing debates over primary endorsements among Republicans, issues such the future of sharia law in the United States, and toxic femininity. We conclude with some thoughts on the tragedy of September 10th with the assassination of Charlie Kirk and what this means for speech and discourse going forward.
