Our guest is Lawrence J. McQuillan, Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Entrepreneurial Innovation at the Independent Institute and author of CALIFORNIA DREAMING: Lessons on How to Resolve America’s Public Pension Crisis
The big story last week was a University Language guide that finger-wagged “problematic” words in order to create a more inclusive campus environment. The story went national. We discuss why removing the guide doesn’t change the culture that birthed it, then move on to our next guest to discuss the debate on legalizing drugs.
Greg Moore from AFP joins us to talk about Milton Friedman, Free lunch, School choice, and the encroaching regulatory state.
Ambassador Gregory Slayton joins us to explain why he and his family are supporting Scott Walker as the Republican Nominee for President.
The big news this week was a University of New Hampshire Language Guide that explained what words were problematic in conversation and should be avoided to foster diversity and “inclusiveness.” We journey back to the 1990’s with our Ed expert Jorge Mesa-Tejada to explain when this problem with the word “American” began.
We opened the program with the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot of the week. Hillary Clinton, speaking at an Urban League Dinner, went in to a screed about how you can’t possibly succeed at anything if the government isn’t there to help you.
This week in hour two we are joined by AFP State director Greg Moore (School choice and the regulatory state), and Max Abramson (drug legalization). *Due to the server transition I am unable to post both hours at once, so we will post them as hour one and hour two.

We continue with Michelle on legislation allowing parents to opt out of state-wide assessments, some opt out numbers from this years testing, district incentives (ice-cream parties, etc)to reward students who took the tests (and isolate those who did not), and parental involvement.
Governor George Pataki drops in to the studio to talk about running for president, and his qualifications for the job.
Michelle Levell joins us to examine student and parental rights with regard to explicit material in pubic school classrooms, a recent effort to inform parents, and how educarats reacted to the proposed reform.
In part two with Keith Carlsen (Health Care Compact) we talk donor states, the federal money shell game, and how Medicaid expansion will hurt the people who need Medicaid most.
Keith Carlsen joins us to discuss the Health Care Compact as an alternative for states to free themselves from Federal intrusion tied to programs like Medicaid and ObamaCare
This week we are joined by Governor George Pataki, Education advocate Michelle Levell, and Keith Carlsen joins us to discuss the Heath Care Compact.
We continue with Mike Farris, on the political abandonment of the limiting principles of the constitution. How we got here. How we get back. Then it’s on to the Iran treaty and how 4 presidential candidates (from the US Senate) violated the constitution when they voted to change the rules for ratifying treaties.
We open the program with the poorly laid Main Street remodeling plans of dopey Concord NH central planners. Then Max Abramson returns to tell us about “NH’s dumbest laws,” about puppet shows, milk containers, and yes – the hands-free law. (Part 1 of 2)
In part 2 of NH’s dumbest law we discuss laws against keeping time in a tavern, no running machinery on Sunday, don’t Inhale diesel fumes with the intention of getting high (inhaling for other reasons is fine); then we find ourselves discussing bio-diesel, pedophilia, “does neigh mean neigh?”, honor killings, and same sex marriage.
This week our guests are Lawrence McQuillan (Independent Institute), Mike Farris (Constitutional appellate litigator), Dan Hynes (Religious Liberty), and Max Abramson (on NH’s dumbest laws)
Carly Fiorina spent some time at the annual Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers Picnic. This event is a magnet for grassroots activists and campaign operatives – in a primary year. Here are her complete remarks.
The Republicans asked for the majority to fix things like ObamaCare and big government and when the voters gave them that majority what did they do with it? That and trimming the administrative state. (Yes, I said that last time – got my segment notes mixed up. It’s in this segment. My apologies.)
The American left has manufactured another crisis and used it as an excuse to erase history. So who else does that? We also discuss the bureaucratic handmaidens of the central planners – the administrative state; must you cut off each limb or will you have more success if you starve them to death.
