1
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.600
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.079
It's time now for a community connection
right here on K one, the

3
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.359
one you trust and we are rock. And how are we doing today,

4
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:36.520
Quinn And hey, we're doing good. It's Thursday. Thursday's sunny out there.

5
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.600
Well, you know, last time
we spoke it was starting to get

6
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.079
a little bit cold, but the
things have changed into Well, we've got

7
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:50.960
the Association of Republican and Other Conservatives
Washington County all set up for a big

8
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.200
to do coming up on the nineteen. Tell us about it. Well,

9
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.600
that to do is we are promoting
today. Well, we talked about our

10
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.159
our meeting coming up, but Congressman
josh Urkeen is going to be back in

11
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:10.719
town. He's doing three days of
live town halls and concluding Mondays travels around

12
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.280
the district here in Bartlesville. So
he's going to be at the center from

13
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.760
six to seven o'clock and we are
encouraging everybody who is listening and to tell

14
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.239
their friends come out and dialogue with
the congressman. He did a teletown hall

15
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:32.879
very recently and he's really big on
engaging with people live telecommunications, So we

16
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.439
want people to get up to that, so we moved our meeting to accommodate

17
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.799
him being here. All right,
well, this is great, And speaking

18
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.200
of the meeting coming up on the
twenty sixth, Miss Julie, what can

19
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.200
we expect, Well, we can
expect to talk about everything Washington County eating.

20
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.480
So we're going to have a panel
and we're going to have a great

21
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:55.879
discussion about our county politics and who
our leaders are and what that looks like

22
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.920
to take Washington County forward in the
future. And so we'll have some of

23
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.239
our commissioners there, We're going to
have our assessor there, the sheriff is

24
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.920
going to be there, and so
you know, we've always said that to

25
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.960
know what is going on locally is
just as important as knowing what's going on

26
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.159
nationally. So you're going to have
an opportunity to go all the way up

27
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.960
nationally and see Josh purkein on Monday
and then come to see us the next

28
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.800
Monday and talk about county. So
that's that's a really comprehensive look at what's

29
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.680
going on and how you can be
involved and how like Quinn said, have

30
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:29.039
that dialogue because it's important. You
know, when I was younger, we

31
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:34.520
get that Civics lesson in junior high
and in high school. I guess they

32
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.759
teach it somewhat these days, but
it's not necessarily probably as rigorous as it

33
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.479
once was. This is a great
way to kind of catch up on just

34
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.280
how things work, and you know, it's not hard, but it's always

35
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:53.599
great to learn or relearn exactly.
So one of our goals as an organ

36
00:02:53.759 --> 00:03:00.240
as an association is to inform and
educate the electorates. And so part of

37
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.840
the program a week from Monday is
going to be, as you said,

38
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.919
one of the commissioners would be there, Mike Dunlap. We're also going to

39
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.560
have the district attorney, so we're
giving a scope of what goes on in

40
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.759
the county and a lot of people
just don't understand all that goes on in

41
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.240
the county, and it's going to
be interesting that way. But also you

42
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.840
had Mike Bouvier in here recently,
Yes, a commissioner who's not going to

43
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.960
file for reelection, and so filing
comes up. It's April third, fourth,

44
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.319
and fifth, I believe it is
at the election board here downtown,

45
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.560
and so we know there's going to
be one seat open. So our meeting

46
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:45.120
actually last November to run with it
was what should you be thinking about before

47
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.879
you even file? And we had
a good turnoff for that and some interested

48
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.560
people in that particular position, maybe
exploring others, because again, we don't

49
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.840
want just an informed electorate. We
want people informed who want to be elected,

50
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.520
understood, undersould. There's a lot
more of that goes along with just

51
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:06.680
the title and a meeting on Mondays
downtown. And if you're not aware of

52
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:11.199
what that's all about, who you're
in for an education, you're in for

53
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.879
an education. And so we have
Todd mathis the assessor, and Todd is

54
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.360
like one of the youngest and one
of the longest standing assessor like in the

55
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.879
States. And you probably at least
need know how to run a calculator to

56
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.079
be an assessor. I don't know
what the qualifications are, but I've worked

57
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.800
with Todd. He's very very smart, smart smart, And to know what's

58
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:38.279
behind the role and the responsibility and
the elected position is important. And these

59
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.720
are people and they have lives outside
of what they do for us as a

60
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.519
community, and so just to get
to know them and dialogue with them,

61
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.240
because I think for a lot of
people it's like, oh, well,

62
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.920
that's Josh Brokeen. He goes to
Washington, it might be intimidating to them.

63
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.600
So to kind of drill down and
understand who they are as a person

64
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.720
and understand what they're representing us as
we the people is important too. So

65
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.199
I think think it's good to kind
of break down that that stance of well,

66
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.399
they're so and so, and I'm
just you know, a local person

67
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.639
here in Bartlesville. So about year
and a half ago, Jock was just

68
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.040
a local. Yeah, he was
running those horses. I think that's important,

69
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.279
you know, developed that relationship or
just know them as a person.

70
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.720
I think that's important too. And
the role that they carry, because it's

71
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.839
not just that's not the only thing. They are their husband and a friend

72
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.600
and a community member, and so
that's important to understand who they are as

73
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.720
a person as well. And sometimes
they're trying to run their family business all

74
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:41.480
in between exactly. And so joshuad
congress member Keen will have members of its

75
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.519
Josh because you know, yeah,
you have to know he's members of his

76
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.279
team with whom he always does.
And so locally, Derek Sisney is the

77
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.879
field wrap in our area and Dan
Harrigan is going to be there, others

78
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:02.040
will be there with him. But
one thing I I love about associating with

79
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.279
this wider group, it's not just
about the politics. We recently had a

80
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.639
ribbon cutting for the Chambers of Commerce
as had joined that last year, had

81
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.360
a ribbon cutting. Had a lot
of fun with that, and to be

82
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.079
able to promote things like their legislative
programs they have the first one, I

83
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:23.160
think the first one of the year
is today with pat Nick Farren, thank

84
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.040
you over at Tri County Tech.
And so we want to let people know

85
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.399
about those kind of events as well. They're important to benefit of learning and

86
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.120
being informed. Now, if I'm
noticed taking back to the guy with the

87
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:39.480
numbers, he is the numbers guy, and boy wow, yeah he's a

88
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.720
numbers Guy's a lot of fooling.
And that's important too because we're going to

89
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.240
see some big things come up this
next year. Both nationally. I think

90
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.160
we're going to hear a lot about
immigration. We're going to hear about,

91
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.040
you know, the stance on abortion. We're going to we're going to see

92
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.480
some of those that are running for
election talk about those topics. And then

93
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.160
locally, what will our issues be. I think fiscal responsibility will be up

94
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.639
there, all those things that stand
firm for what Republican or conservative stands for.

95
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.839
And so I think we'll see that
pop up as well. And so

96
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.720
you know you're going to get it
from national all the way down to county

97
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.920
level in the next couple of weeks
if you join us. Wow. So

98
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.519
coming up on the nineteenth, who
can attend the town hall with Josh Murkin?

99
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.040
Anybody can attend. This's the one
spot in Washington County where he will

100
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:30.079
be speaking on the if I recall
in this particular day, and so we

101
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.839
have people come out from north to
southeast to west and come here Josh Murkin

102
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.680
dialogue with him. He wants to
hear from people, and he does dialogue

103
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.240
with you and on the media.
On the twenty sixth All Things Washington County

104
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.519
crossing seconds starting at six thirty.
Is this anyone who's interesting if you live

105
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.120
in Washington County, we want to
see there. You know, we are

106
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.959
Republicans and we stand for conservative values, and so that will be kind of

107
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.519
where we lean in terms of what
they talk about. But it's going to

108
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.079
take it's going to give you a
comprehensive view of some of the things we

109
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.600
stand for as a party, and
then some things that they stand for individually

110
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.920
as they work through their roles for
our county. Hey, Quinn, how

111
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.399
can people find out more about the
Association of Republican and Other Conservatives of Washington

112
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:20.240
Guide That is, they can type
all that out on our Facebook page,

113
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.959
which which is growing, so we
will encourage people you know, like and

114
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.720
share and help us together where we're
adding more information to that. If you

115
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.159
have questions, if you have information
you want to share, send that to

116
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:41.000
info at r OCWC dot com.
Our contact list is actually growing, and

117
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.120
we are Republican and other Conservatives and
we're having other conservatives showing a lot of

118
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.480
interest. Yeah, and we're having
fun in a conversation and the dialogue and

119
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.200
we're open to, you know,
hearing each other out. And I think

120
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.840
it's been a great opportunity for a
lot of people in our community who might

121
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.759
not want to be necessarily locked into, you know, some things, and

122
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.919
so we give them an opportunity to
come and have dinner and laugh and get

123
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.240
educated and learn to build relationships and
yeah, and learn something and be open

124
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.360
to the conversation to move our county
and move our nation forward. Exactly.

125
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.279
You know, we can either talk
at each other and talk with each other.

126
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.279
That's think that's what you're doing.
That's a big thing. Yeah,

127
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.240
thank you for coming in today.
It's always great to have you. Thanks

128
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.080
for having us. Thanks, thank
you very much. We've got more coming up.
