  David Flippo's Big Win, Lombardo's Big Problem, and Remembering Steve Horner

  Jun 19, 20261 hour

  This week on One Minute Recess, we begin by remembering our friend Steve Horner—a tireless advocate, educator, organizer, and one of the earliest supporters of this podcast. Then we dive into Nevada's latest political developments. David Flippo's upset victory over longtime Nevada Republican James Settlemeyer has sparked a debate about the future of the GOP in Nevada. Is this the end of "old Nevada" politics? What does it mean for Teresa Benitez-Thompson's chances in Congressional District 2? And will Governor Joe Lombardo embrace Flippo's brand of politics or keep his distance? We also discuss: • Final primary election results • The razor-thin Howard Watts race • Nevada's ballot counting process • Lombardo's proposed affordability special session • Attack ads targeting Attorney General Aaron Ford • The mystery behind Lombardo's claim that he eliminated 900 regulations • Viewer comments, trolls, and keyboard warriors LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Nevada Secretary of State provides update on Primary election ballot processing: https://www.fox5vegas.com/2026/06/15/nevada-secretary-state-provides-update-primary-election-ballot-processing/ Is David Flippo's primary win the death blow for Old Nevada politics? https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/is-david-flippos-primary-win-the-death-blow-for-old-nevada-politics Nevada Independent Voter Guide: https://thenevadaindependent.com/elections/2026/primary Nevada Independent: "Lombardo's endorsement helpful, but not gospel": https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada-primary-results-show-lombardos-endorsement-is-helpful-but-not-gospel
