Steve Sisolak

No, I will note that he did have a more Republican leaning, but but that This is real.

I mean, it's the same thing that happened when Steve Sisolak was running for reelection, right? We were coming out of COVID.

The economy was really terrible.

And then Sheriff Joe Lombardo sort of criticized him and said, Look, this is the Biden economy.

And I think that to a certain extent, like it's it's not totally fair is what one one expert I spoke to said.

No, I will note that he did have a more Republican leaning, but but that this is real i mean it's the same thing that happened when steve sisolak was running for re-election right we were coming out of covid the economy was really terrible and then sheriff joe lombardo sort of criticized him and said look this is the biden economy this is the sislak economy and and i think that this is a this is not a new sort of critique it's something that we see over and over again

We've got under a minute left, but let me ask you, both campaigns, both candidates have laid out aggressive agendas, and they all say they're going to do it without raising taxes.

Is that even possible?

I know they say that every cycle, but right now we have a choice between continuing, uh, with a governor who's going to make sure we keep creating jobs, we keep expanding school choice, uh, keep investing in attainable housing for Nevadans, or we have a governor who's going to let criminals back on our streets, reverse economic progress, and impose a California-style woke agenda that's going to make our state less safe, less prosperous, and take us back to where we were before Governor Lombardo was.

And we all know how bad that was when Governor Sisolak was in charge.

That's why we elected Governor Lombardo, because we wanted a change.

We wanted a leader who knew what was the right thing to do for our state, and, uh, we cannot go backwards.

Here's where it gets crazy.

So the Nevada Independent broke this story in February, but it's based on statements made by Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak in his January State of the State Address, which is a hilarious name, but then also in some later press conferences.

And Noel, I think we both watched some of these, right?

Yeah, there was one that I saw.

I think he's a great governor.

I mean, he-- With all due respect, he did have a pretty low bar coming after Steve Sisolak, but, uh, I think he's done a great job.

He- well, he's gonna be better than Aaron Ford.

Oh, gosh, Aaron, Aaron Ford is such a nightmare.

He is.

He was appointed by Steve Sisolak to p- the position when he originally got it.

Yeah.

Uh, n- number two-

But this idea that the current officeholder is responsible for everything, even though he had no role when this was put into place 11 years ago, and Lombardo's result, going back to Newsom, was to issue an executive order, one of the few executive orders he's issued.

Because he's been absolutely adamant that executive orders, and I agree with him, are a very poor way to govern, right? Particularly compared to what his predecessor, Steve Sisolak, did.

But he issues an executive order just a couple weeks ago about changing the tax abatements for data centers as a way to get this under control.

And it should be said to save some political capital because he was getting heavily attacked by it.
