Brian Sandoval

But we have third party validators out there.

The most popular elected official, former elected official in Nevada is our former governor, Brian Sandoval.

He's now the president of the University of Nevada, Reno.

And he's gone on this mission to tell Nevadans our elections are safe.

But speaking of which, on the 20th of October, just trying to get into our docket today, the Nevada Wolfpack unveiled new branding.

It was during the State of the University address that President Brian Sandoval gave out.

It was like the afternoon-ish, like afternoon-evening almost.

So we're going to dive into Nevada's new seemingly controversial logo.

And he's trying to stay ahead and distance and hope that he can pull some rabbit out of a hat to get people some relief, to get Republicans excited and showing up to the polls.

I talked to the Secretary of State, Cisco Aguilar, on the program along with President Brian Sandoval now and Richard Perkins, the former speaker.

And my point was, why can we not get elections? You know, you come from a broadcasting background.

I'm in the broadcasting world still.

Clark County presented a proclamation at the sign to observe the second Monday of October as Indigenous Peoples Day.

Nevada officially observes the day on August 9th after former Governor Brian Sandoval signed a bill into law in 2017.

Democratic Assemblymember Shea Backus said, Currently, the only indigenous lawmaker in Nevada says it's time for the state to recognize Indigenous Peoples Day on the second Monday of October.

Backus introduced a bill during the 2025 Nevada legislative session to move the observance to when tribes and indigenous people celebrate it.

It's the wildlife—the board, the commission, which there's a woman on there right now who's an anti-hunter, so—

i said this before guilty until proven innocent is the way it seems when it comes to hunters and hunting not to get too far off track but when the whole bear hunting uh air quotes here controversy started here in nevada and what did brian sandoval do but appoint an anti-hunter a member of that anti-bear hunting organization to the wildlife commission

All right, on that note, let's go to a quick break.

Do not go anywhere.

So, you know, what I, I think you're, you're looking for, uh, if, if you go back to twenty twenty-four-- Uh, not twenty twenty-four, excuse me, twenty fourteen.

So the, it was, uh, Brian Sandoval, Republican governor, running for re-election.

Um, none of these candidates had actually come in first place [chuckles] for the Democrats, and so they had a, a, just, just a political no one running on the top of their ticket, and Democrat voters just weren't turning out.

And you could tell.

[laughs]

Uh, move back to my home state of Nevada, uh, because the governor at the time, a Republican governor, uh, Brian Sandoval, offered me the job running the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

It was great.

Wonderful job.

Um, uh, was able to be back by my family, all those advantages.

Um, [lips smack] uh, he was, that governor was termed out.

The Democratic governor won.

I was kept on there.
