At a “secret” meeting (again, who opened their big yammer??) that was blasted all over the political world here in NH of a group of conservatives, WMUR’s Adam Sexton showed up with his cameraman trying to get the jist of what was going on (and if someone was going to spill the beans as to what’s going on).  Needless to say, he asked for a quick interview: so I did on Kelly Ayotte and the NH US Senatorial Primary.  But before that, Adam also interviewed Bill O’Brien (a much better person to interview):

You really think that what is going on in Europe is only a set of bedraggled migrants seeking succor from the vicissitudes of war?  Then you have no sense of history.  The real question is whether or not Western Society has enough love for itself to not let it fall from within.  I have my doubts as all I keep seeing here in the US, especially from the Left and Academia (but I repeat myself) is quite the self-loathing of our history and our culture.  So watch this and listen.  Yes, I normally write here to ignore politician’s words and only watch their actions.  Here, I believe the words and actions are aligned together:

I generally don’t use Twitter a lot expect for when there is a political event like the Prez debates – then it works well for quick pithy (or snarky) remarks.  I also try to pick out friends’ tweets that work well, raise an eyebrow, or have some data in there and either retweet or quote them.  And then sometimes, I just have to tweet a “really”?

Finally, back in studio and only had to schlep the equipment from around the corner (for some reason, all the parking spaces in front of the building were taken – must be the yoga lady class starting earlier.  Be glad when “their” part of Concord’s Main Street reconstruction is finally finished…).

A lively show:

• Segment 1: Andrew Hemingway comes on to do a quick summary of last week’s 603 Alliance Grassroots Presidential Selection with some answers back to the Rand Paul campaign and their kvetching about the process being rigged (and no, it wasn’t and they should know that whining doesn’t help them any).  He also relays a story that will be catching on with the political insiders on the Right here in NH: NH GOP Chair Jennifer Horn’s attempted take over of the NH Young Republicans (guess she doesn’t like them having a seat on “her” Executive Board). Online media / social accounts, bank accounts, and rights to the name – it like she thinks she has Obama like powers and that she OWNS it all.  And just like Obama, keeps getting slapped down.  This story will have legs here on the ‘Grok.
• Segment 2: Ed Naile, Chair of the Coalition of NH Taxpayers (“CNHT”) comes on to talk Voter Fraud and the latest with Democrat operative Carl Gibson (aka “C. Robert Gibson”) voting in multiple States AND his indictment here in NH for voter suppression (is this political transgenderism for tying to tell the media his Democrat boss candidate’s opponent (19 year old Republican woman) is out of the race)
• Segment 3: We go to our WTF moments of the week.
• Segment 4: NH State Rep Max Abramson comes on to talk about upcoming legislation you should know about.

…she can’t tell us when her babies became human beings.  Good on the reporter asking the question – abortion lovers just LOVE to use all kinds of scientific words (e.g., a clump of cells, tissue mass, zygot, embryo, fetus) in order to diminish the one enduring and truthful fact – it is Life.  These same people get overwrought if they see a pregnant lady smoking, eating the wrong foods, or pounding down more brewskis than they believe is “healthy” – it’s all about the baby.  But when it comes to abortion, well now, we see the obfuscation and deflection arise from deep within to protect the (sometimes casual) taking of that “child’s potential” (as Hillary has been saying lately).

Here, watch Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Chair of the Democrat National Committee, go frog eyed at the question, and then refuse to answer the question:

CCCC

She can’t.  No, she really can’t.  After all, when confronted with situation and having to admit that HER OWN CHILDREN were once in the same position, the same development state, as the babies that get rent limb from limb, how could she answer that question?

As Steve said in his recent post, it was a long day: “We recorded 7 hours of audio and video at SNHU”.  I’ve finished processing the video (re: chopped it up) but the uploading continues.  Given work will depress my posting next week, I’ll put up as many as possible today.  Like Steve, I’ll start out with our shortened GrokTALK! show segements:

• Pre-show: the ordinary odds and ends as we tidy up the last techie details from, once again, doing a remote event.
• Segment 1: ‘Grok friend Jeff Chidester (Talk show host, columnist, conservative activist) comes on to yak with us.  And we thank him for his nice words about us!
• Segment 2: Ann Marie Banfield, education liason for Cornerstone Policy Research Action to talk about, well, Education!
• Segment 3: Shane Vander Hart of The Family Leader (and blogger) comes on to talk about the Caucus activity going on in Iowa and how we see the differences between NH and Iowa.
• Segment 4: Utah State Representative Ken Ivory comes on to represent the American Lands Council – why should the Feds control so much state land?

And yes, I got “off numbered” starting with Ken – in the video, I got ahead of myself and called it Segment 5.  Apologies.

Even before we could really finish with UT State Rep Ken Ivory and our discussion on why Feds controlling State lands (for no good reason, IMHO), the Practical Federalism Forum (sponsored by American Principles Project,  Cornerstone, and The Family Leader) began.  In this post:

• Segment 6: Jeff Chidester acted as Master of Ceremonies and gave his opening remarks and led in the Pledge.   Subsequently, Bryan McCormack (Executive Director of Cornerstone Policy Research Action) spoke to formally open the event.
• Segment 7: Emmett McRoarty, Esq., (American Principles Project) – “An Overview of the Federal Overreach”
