Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome walk minute. I'm now for our community connection right here on K one, the one you trusted, and it is brought to you in part by get Real Ministries, Tall Grass Motors and more, a knee camp, a funeral home. It's always great to have friends on board and by Gully and Bartlesville. Everyone's your friend, that's for sure. I just see you guys a lot more to see more most folks. So once again, Julie and Quinn, we'd
like to have you make yourselves at home here. We're gonna be talking about something kind of new in our area, something very new, like a month new, but it doesn't obviously have the history before a launch. We are an association of Republican and other Conservatives of Washington County, and I just want to break that down a little bit for you. Tom Republican singular, we're
representative Republican Party. But I read an article another article last night about the migration from other parts of the nation to the Midwest, particularly, and we've met so many people who've moved to Bartlesville over the last few years since we've been here, who, like this article was saying, have come because they've got conservative values or wanting to get away from high taxes, maybe more liberal places Washington, California, New York where the top three of the ten states
highlighted, and we know they're people out there with conservative values. They may not be familiar with some of the Republican values perhaps here in Oklahoma or in Bartlesville where they're coming and they're looking for a tribe, if you will, people to be part of the share those values here in Washington County because we have something important coming up on November fifth, twenty four. You think faster than you think. Yeah, they're preparing now, so we need to be
prepared to now. Julie, you're like Quinn and I. We've seen this with our own nice people coming here from places like California, which seems to be pretty five for the Californian. It's really like it here, and so do New Yorkers. And a few of my folks from the Chicago where we are discovering Oklahoma, they said, Wow, this is nice. I feel freer. That's true. You know, during the shutdown, we saw that our governor took a stance and kept our state open for the most part,
and so people like that. People appreciate their freedom, People appreciate being in a state where we can speak freely, we can move freely. Our businesses stay open, and we support one another. Just like you said, we've we really jumped in and supported our small businesses here in Bartlesville. And I think we really saw our community thrive over the last three years where some did
not. Crime, you know, escalated, education declined. And so we want to really stand for our community and continue those values of freedom and conservatives, conservatism and just being a strong Republican in their banks to back that up. And the city will tell you that city copperas are swelling because people were shopping here, library and local and making that happen. And with our school being a project lead the Way school for what some years now in a row.
And the proof is in the pudding right there. You don't have to take anybody's word for you can look it up. It's actual factual. Now, quentn what is the what is the vision and the mission of your group? Well, I'm gonna use my guys talk about our motto first. Let's
do that. Okay, we have a model, we say, we have a story past, a strong future, and one thing that we recognize here in Washington County and in the state, there's a strong history of conservative men and women who have really developed and built our state and our county, many of them obviously Republican, and so we are building on that strong history, but we also want to ensure a strong future for our state, for our county, for our city, for all the elected official positions for that matter.
We're in this position in the middle the present story, and how do we bridge from the past, this storied past. In fact, our acronym is ROC Republican and other Conservatives Washington County. So we have all kinds of rock stars that we are going to We're going to be highlighting them in our various meetings so people are reminded of the history and people who have shaped who
we are today. And so out of that we take our present story and begin identifying those will be part of the future story for conservativism in our counties. So our vision, I'm going to read it here for you. It says to be Oklahoma's premier county for developing, electing, and supporting conservative political leaders. And again we have some history with that, and we want to connect with those who are interested in being politically engaged at whatever level. And
that's our vision. Yeah, and I think to build on that. Like Quinn said, it's important and it's fun to sit at a table with someone who might be you know, seventy or eighty and have the history of Bartlesville or the history of the state, and they maybe have even served in our legislative body. And then you've got a twenty something and you've got myself.
We can sit down and have a conversation and instill that wisdom and experience as well as getting new insight like on social media and what's cool these days. You know, I may not be as cool as a twenty seven year old who's really interested in some day leading our city or our state politically. So that's that's important to us. And education is going to be a strong piece of that. Exactly. Are very good. And you know it's listed here
on the little bit of information you gave you. It's called the values, it's called how we do it, and it's all in how you do it, it really is. And you can have all the mottos the values divisions, but you have to have a plan for implementation. Yeah, exactly, And I think leadership is important too, and to serve. With Quinn and some of the others, they they lead by serving and that's important. And
then how we do it is we foster conversations. We can sit down with just about anybody, whether it's a truly opposing view or it's a similar view, and typically we have more similarities than we do opposition in our views. And it's fun to have that conversation, whether you're sitting and having a cup of coffee at one of our local restaurants, or you're just out and about, like we've been to the Washington County Free Fair, We've we've been to
Freedom Fest. Just to hear people and kind of get the vibe of what's going on is really important and that's important to us to hear the community and see what they're standing for and what's important to them. I think that's important to us as well. Isn't it nice to have a conversation. Seems like any more people are just waiting for the other person to shut up so they can say something, and the art of a conversation has almost been lost.
Yeah, it's an appreciation and most of the conversation is listening. And so if we can listen well and then we can you know, communicate both sides well. Then that moves you forward. And that's what we're looking to do, is continue to move forward. And you know, Washington County used to be a democratic county and then you know a lot of our forefathers and four mothers have gone and done the work to bring into a conservative Republican county and
we plan to continue that. And that's going to be important. And you do that through relationships and conversation, good good, and as we point out in our Values time, we want to do that in a situation where it's civil, it's respectful, where you can actually dialogue. And it's no surprise that there's a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there about all kinds of things anything. And so as Julie saying, to listen and to dialogue and to
understand, I think it's so important. And that's why we want to invite others to our gatherings who have you know, conservative interests, maybe new to the area or long standing in the area, that can be part of a conversation again for a strong future. Yeah, and as we have that conversation, if they say, oh, I'd like to be involved in a campaign, or I'd like to, you know, work at the fair or be in the parade, or know more about city government, or what would it
be like to be a page and down at the capitol. We can we can educate them, we can get them engaged, we can loop them in. And some of us just need training. You know. I've only really been on the political scene for about three years at the at the most, so I'm fairly new to that and I needed that education and learning opportunity. And we look to provide that. And we can plug people in where they want to be plugged in, and maybe they don't even know where they want
to be plugged in, but they just want to be part. They want to be part of a yeah, part of a solution, and that supports their values greatly. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to tell people how they can know more about you and how they can actually find a meeting. Okay, we'll be right back after these words. We have real ministries to all grass Old or he's an our more and he camp funeral home on gay one? How does Tim howl at Arnold bore and he can't
punal home. No, he's done a good job. After a funeral, I'll come in. It's a guy's great job. We really hit that out of the part today. The family was well pleased. And that's the phrase right there, when a family member tells me, you made this experience so much easier than I thought it was going to be. Thank you. That
is the high five moment right there. And then six months later you run into them in a store or a restaurant and they come up to you and shake your hand, put their arm around your home and say, this is our funeral director. He helped us so much when dad died. He is a nice guy. His staff is so compassionate and so caring. They did a great job. That is the ultimate experience. They've had time to grieve
a little bit and reflect on what you've done. And they come in and they're still on cloud nine because you help them pay tribute to someone they really cared about. It'll be all right. We'll walk through this together. Arnold Moore and he Camp Funeral Home seven ten Dewey, Bartlesville, We'll walk through this together.

Hey everyone, this is Pastor Randall and Pastor Shiloh with Get Real Ministry.
So this is your Get Real minute. Most everyone has heard the scripture John three sixteen, for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever should believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. I believe that that scripture is really of Noah Vail, if not followed up by the very next scripture John three seventeen, For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the
world, through him might be saying. And that is the foundational scripture by which Get Real Ministries was founded. Come worship Jesus with Us Sunday's ten thirty am, Wednesday six thirty pm, Saturday night six pm, and Jesus further Third Saturday every month. Jesus Burger is an outreach we do third Saturday of every month where they received the Word of God, the Love of God.

Get Real Ministry Your service as Sunday at ten thirty am and Wednesdays at six thirty pm. Welcome back to our community connection right here on K one, the one you try. We have Quinn Chipper and Julie mcm here where we're talking about the Republican and other Conservatives of Washington
County. It's it's a new group, but it's really not a new group, but it's a new group, so we'll let it go at that. We have some meetings that take place and folks will welcome to do that. But I think you wanted to talk a little bit something else about maybe voter registration. Yeah, that's gonna be really important coming up over the next year.
And we have a president right now that I won't be shy in saying it, that probably needs to be replaced and we would prefer a conservative Republican in there, and whoever's going to be that candidate, that's who we will fully support. But your vote is important, and we're going to also have some local elections coming up, and so we want everybody out there registered to
vote. You can do that online or down at the county election Board down in our city Hall building on the fourth floor, and so they can help you with that. But it's going to be important. People have fought for that right that we both you know, we all have men and women, and we think it's important that people get out there and vote and voice their opinion. I do want to say something about Yvonne House and the group downtown.
They're very, very helpful. They're very patient to lance or any question that you have. They'll point you in the direction of the website and how to use it and everything. In the state of Oklahoma has probably the most full proof election procedures and handling. Bannie. I've worked in a couple of states where they're been some issues, like Florida. We caught a guy with our news department voting in six different precincts. Oh goodness, one videotape.
But because the camera, of course, can't go into the voting booth, we had no proof that he actually voted. So they threw our claim out. Oh my god, goodness. And then Illinois, the dead come to light, and they're quite lively. That does happen sometimes. Usually got a bush from Kenosha, Wisconsin. But anyway, getting back to where we are right here in the present, which is Washington County, where things are pair and square. I think Tom you mentioned Yvonne, and she is wonderful.
I had heard, oh, there might be some discrepancies, and I well, let's go see for our own eyes. And so she welcomed myself and and someone else and showed us the boxes, talked us through the process. There is little to no chance of fraud or error when it comes to the way they manage the election here in Washington County. It's impressive. It's very impressive. And so anyone, I mean, I hope von doesn't get flooded with calls, but I think anyone if they called and have questions, she'd
be willing to show them and give them a tour. Of exactly what their processes and show them, show them the really seamless and I won't say flawless because that can but it's a seamless process and there's question they're going to find it. Yep. And we're strategizing towards November fifth. Of course, you're
backing up our programs. We're going to be meeting every third Monday across and second at six thirty, and so part of that strategy has to do, as you said earlier, Julie, educating people and people have a voice, they have a vote, they need to be educated and something like Yvonne House and understanding that whole process is one of the things we hope to highlight on
the journey of leading to November fifth. Of course, that big back room holds plenty of folks out there at the crossing seconds, so more than MARYA. Yeah. Well, this coming Monday the eighteenth, we have Lieutenant Governor Matt Panell is going to be our keynote speaker. He's very excited and supportive of the new association, and they are going to be actually setting up the garage, which many people are familiar with auditorium style and so by fire code
they're allowed to do that if there aren't tables and other impediments. And so we're expecting a really good number of people to come out. So we encourage people. You'll come in our early in the restaurant, find a good seat. We're going to be recognizing other elected officials. But Lieutenant Government Panell is our keynote, and we're very excited to have him back in Bartlesville. He
loves Bartlesville. He really likes said that that the Oklahoma sixty trail, as he called from Benita all the way through, he's thinking to us for sure, he's you're going to learn a lot from him too. He'll share a little bit about just how weller state is forming compared to what it used to be like and to other states around us. So it's a very positive message
he's going to bring. That's right, and as we've seen, you know, kind of some foreshadowing I guess of what's coming up over the next year. I think it's going to be his goal to kind of educate us and let us know what Oklahoma stands for. Our governor recently came out and so you know, we're not we're not going to be locked down again and shut
down again. He made that statement on his Facebook page. And so you know, if if Lieutenant Governor can give us kind of some some more guidance on what the next year is going to look like, we're all wondering, Yes, is he going to run for governor or not? I you never know, So you have to show up Monday to listen for yourself to see
how that works out. But this is if anybody has questions about your new group and about perhaps wanting to join up, this is as good a time as any is coming up on Monday to meet and talk faste of face with you guys. Yeah, I'd love to see him face to face. That's the way we really thrive and and we'd like to, you know, meet them in person. But if not, they can catch us on Facebook Washington Republican and other Conservatives of Washington County. And then we also have an email
