Host do you think that argument is going over well with voters out there . Guest i dont really think it is. We have the highest place of unemployment in the country and the highest foreclosure rate in the country. President obama has not been good for nevada. All these statistics show that we are worse off now than we were four years ago. It is time to put somebody else in there. That is why you see the polls narrowing the closer we get to the election. Host we are taking your calls in this segment. This is former state Party Chairman dan burdish. Give us a call. We still have that line set up for nevada residents. Will go right now to joe in richmond, indiana, on the republican line. Caller thank you very much. Id appreciate you taking our calls i appreciate you taking our calls. Nevada definitely has a need as far as support and things like this. I truly feel president obama has had four years which we hear a lot of rhetoric but the truth is in the fruits of the person. We need to desperately turn our country to where our economy can be brought back. I feel governor romney would fill that for us. We need to take a stand for what is right. We need to take a look at what they have done. The background parts of the world with a reach out and do things that are right. I just encourage all the voters in nevada to truly look at what their needs are and what promises have been given. Host will go to one of those voters in nevada on the democratic line. Caller how are you today . Basically what i wanted to know is when the democrats took the president ial race, they inherited a tremendous mess. Do you really think that the republicans could have cleaned up what was created by a Republican Party in four years . Guest thank you for your call. It was not just the republicans. We had a republican president. Republicans and democrats created this mess and it is something that has to be cleaned up by both parties. The democratic president has not tried to clean it up. All he has tried to do is jam down obamacare in our throats. The overregulation that we have. It is almost impossible for you to start a business in hawthorne or anyplace else to create jobs. What the president is trying to do is have the government do that. That is not the governments job. The government job is to create a stable economy said the individual can do that. Host a viewer writes in on twitter we have talk about the latino vote out there. I want to get your take on how well the Republican Party has done this time around. Guest i think they have done a lousy job. We have marco rubio out here. Instead of taking him into the latino sections of las vegas, they take him out to green valley and anderson. We need to go to the latinos. We cannot sit back and expect them to come to us. The democrats have done a great job on this. They unions push their members who are predominantly hispanic to register and vote democrat. The republicans have not done that. Host is it too late at this point for republicans to get that vote . Guest i dont know if it is too late. We need to get latinos explaining to latinos why the republicans should be their choice. I start to see that. Host let go out to california on the independent line. Caller i think all american citizens should be protected. What happened in benghazi is our military was put on alert right away and our president made our military stand down and not protect american citizens because it is political. What is really going on . It is a new world order and we need to stop this. We need to think about america and america only right now. Guest i would think form policies should be focused on because we have such a large concentration. Up in hawthorne, we have the depot for munitions and a lot of servicemen but i do not see it as a major issue. We are hurting so economically that we tend to need nothing but jobs, jobs, jobs. Host right wing writes in on twitter again, we have about 15 minutes left in this segment on nevada. Opening it up to your calls. We will go to a new York Resident right now on the republican line. Good morning, bill. Caller hi. Could you remind the people of nevada how obama went after all the corporations, bringing their corporate jets into las vegas and stopped them from coming in which literally destroyed the economy of las vegas . I dont understand how people do not see through this. Could you Say Something about that . Guest do not comment throw your cash away in las vegas he said do not comment throw your cash away in las vegas. Host when did he say that . Guest in 2009, he was talking about corporations coming in here and having their my mind is not working. Pardon me. Bringing trade shows and having their annual retreats here. He said do not come to vegas and throw your money away on the table. That was a big issue in the 2010 campaign but is less of an issue here. It is not a big deal and it should be. When you have a president telling people not to come to vegas and you are in vegas, shouldnt that be a part of the campaign . Host what are you going to be looking for on Election Night to tell you which way this election is going . Guest in nevada, if they can keep president obama to 51 in the las vegas area, we can eek out a win in nevada. The race statewide races in this state tend to be won in the reno area. Las vegas always good democrat. The Rural Counties always go republican. They tend to even themselves out. We win or lose in reno. That is how it is going to be. That is how it has been since 1988. It is going to be that this year. That is why i think everyone is talking about how close the dean hellershelley berkley race is. I think that is going to be a fourpoint race for dean heller. Host lets go to james on the democratic line. You are on with dan burdish, a former executive director of the nevada Republican Party. Caller a lot of the things you are saying are misleading and incorrect. Mitt romney does not have a good jobs record. A lot of other things he claimed to have done bipartisan, i think democrats are more willing to Work Together. That has been shown throughout the years. As far as obama not having any jobs plan, republicans do not want to vote for them or put their own ideas into place. There is really nothing that mitt romney can do. That is just plain and simple. Guest it is not just plain and simple. Governor romney has a five point plan to bring jobs to this country. You can go to his website and look at it. I do not mean to put down government workers. However, you cannot build this country by putting us deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper into debt. It just does not work. Host do you think mr. Romney can get to the 6 Unemployment Rate he talked about in that speech yesterday . Guest i would hope so. We have such a pentup demand in this country. Corporations are just looking for a reason to start rebuilding. There is so much cash, like 500 billion in cash. A has to be more than that. I was thinking 500 trillion dollars but that is too much. There is so much demand and corporations have no idea what to do. Our congress is just sitting by being partisan. We cannot have that. Lets go to another las vegas voter. Caller i lived in North Las Vegas. Leadership has been dismal. We are in bankruptcy right now. The city of las vegas is bankrupt. We have no republican leadership. The leadership here is in the tank. Let me Say Something else. If it were not for the jobs act, we would not have harry reid has been a great thing getting our watershed. That is federally funded money that is helping two areas, with the rain water and our roads. Outside of that, we have nothing. The swap meets are doing much better than anything else in the North Las Vegas. They do better than the casinos. Who want to spend their money in this economy in the casinos . Host he brings up harry reid. How is he playing in both the president ial and senate race out there . Guest harry reid has put together a machine that is second to none. I think that is the only reason barack obama is doing well here. He made a concerted effort to put together a machine for the Democrat Party that was going to do nothing but support him and who he wants to support. As far as North Las Vegas, it is near bankrupt for one reason. They have the highest public Union Salaries of any city in the state. Their city council and there may have rolled over to the unions and have done nothing but to increase salaries. That is why North Las Vegas is going broke. That and the fact they had a perfectly good city hall and decided we wanted a taj mahal. They built something that is only 25 to 40 occupied at this point. Number las vegas was mismanaged and that is why is going broke North Las Vegas was mismanaged and that is why it is going broke. Caller above the other caller who called about las vegas and not going there and what obama said, i think that was in 2009 right after aig got the bailout. The only part of aig that made a profit and spent i think 700,000 or whatever, and then barack obama just slammed them. They never mentioned corporations award their workers for being profitable. It is not free. They do pay taxes. I dont understand why they do not mention that. Host this is from february 3, 2010. Speaking about the economy at an event in new hampshire, mr. Obama told americans when times are tough, you tighten your belt. That is from february 2010. Guest she is right. When you come out here for an awards banquet or a trade show, corporations do not just spend money to spend money. They bring people out here to increase productivity. A trade show let your competitors know what youre doing. We are the number one Convention Destination in the United States because we built that up. When you have a president s saying do not go to vegas, it hurts us. Host we will take a call now on the democratic line. Denise, are you there . I want to ask you about the question of ron paul voters in nevada and how they are going to play in this race. At the nominating convention, some of his supporters tried to challenge what the state was trying to nominate. Correct . Guest yes. I was an alternate to the convention. I was there. They voted against what our rules were. There is a controversy here on that. There are two different ron paul supporters. There are those who could care less who it is as long as it is not ron paul. Then you have the rational ron paul people who are going to look at barack obama or mitt romney. To those people, there is a major difference and they are going to come down on the side of mitt romney. The others are saying the Republican Party did not nominate ron paul so we are going to vote for obama. Host are there enough of this to affect the election . Guest i doubt it. It is a very, very small minority. Host lets go to mary from ohio this morning on the republican line. Caller yes. I would like to question president obama on one thing. About the morality of he supports abortion and all these things, but i am an evangelical christian and my bible tells me what things are wrong and what is not. He seemed like he is on both sides of the fence. He wants to have abortion but he does not Pay Attention to what gods words are. Host i want to get your thoughts on how the issue of rape and abortion especially after the comments from the Republican Senate candidate in indiana are going to play out their in nevada. Guest we do not have a big social conservative following here in nevada. We are more of a libertarian state. There have been times i did not have anything to do with it. We did not even take a stance on abortion. The evangelicals are not a major influence on the Republican Party here. What we are looking at for republicans and democrats is jobs, jobs, jobs. That is what it comes down to. We dont have Anyone Running on any of the social issues in this state. Host want to ask you about the role of the mormon vote in nevada. Guest the mormons are about 11 of the population and tend to be both parties. Reed is a mormon. Harry reid is a mormom. Some of our Major Political figures are mormon. I think a lot of mormons whether they are democrat or republican are going to be voting for mitt romney. Host lets go to michael from florida up on the independent line. Caller good morning. Here is my point. We are all americans. The Republican Party is like gangrelated. They fight and tell us this and that, but nothing gets done. I am going to vote for obama because he was handed a crisis and he has done his best putting americans back to work. Mitt romney says 47 . Then he goes and insults them and nobody says nothing about that. Host we went to give you the last comment of what you think will happen in the next 12 days. Guest i have been very impressed with the mitt romney campaign. They are running on the economy and jobs, and i think they are going to do that for the next 12 days. Mitt romney was here yesterday and the day before. President obama was here yesterday. I think they are going to stay on message and stay on the economy. That is what they need to do. Host dan burdish, former executive director of the nevada Republican Party, thank you so much for joining us on nevada. Guest thank you.

Recently 164 firefighters were laid off as part of the downsizing, the effort to give finances under control in the city. So firefighters are laid off. About two weeks later, 100 guys are rehired. When you look to find out where that money came from, it is actually the department of Common Security has a fund for things like that. I do not want to overstate, but that is something you want to think about. The department of Common Security needed to step in to keep detroit as safe as it can be at the moment. I wondered making this film, we have seen the Auto Industry bailout, the bank bailouts, are we heading into an era of bail out for cities . Is there such a thing as a failed city .

Thank you to nbc. 2006, i stood before voters and promised i would fight for the middle class if elected to the senate. That is what i have done for the six years. My pledge to you tonight is i renew that promise, and i will continue my fight for the middle class. Being a senator is a lot about listening and learning. I held more than 200 round tables in ohio. 1520 people, i will ask some questions for two hours and take those one of the most mineral discussions i had was with a gentle man who worked in a toledo plant who was afraid that his plant was going to close. He said, how do i support my family . How can i pay my mortgage . How can my daughter continue her studies . I knew that i had to go to work. Ive worked with president bush in the fall of 2008, with president obama in the winter of 2009. We knew how important automobiles are up to ohio. 800,000 vehicles are connected to the Auto Industry. It is not just the big Auto Assembly plant. It is the steel plant just up the road. It is the plant that makes components for airbags in brunswick. We knew that this had to be bipartisan, we knew it had to be a partnership between the fog roll government and local communities, local businesses, small and large alike. We stepped up and did it. Now, my point is says that my vote was on american, an am
