A few weeks back, Jaun, who runs Right America Media, asked me if I wanted to create a new commercial for GraniteGrok. We’d been running this one for a while, and a refresh seems like a good idea. The ad runs on Granite State Live, Right Side Up, and GrokTALK! I want them to amuse so … Read more
Rebuild New Hampshire Executive Director Melissa Blasek joins me to deliver an after-action report on the State budget, which is now law. We’ve got a lot of good news, and a bit of bad, and ugly, so join us for an HB2 round-up, a few laughs, some eyerolls, and a breakdown of what got dragged … Read more
Leah Cushman joins me for GrokTALK! on its new night to review her impressive fisking of HB2, the nH State Budget trailer bill, and the garbage hidden inside. You won’t believe a Republican majority put this crapstorm together. Central Planning, Workforce Housing, Digital State IDs, Babysitting funds?, Fake IDs, the pension system shenanigans, using kids … Read more
I had a new episode of GrokTALK! in the works, complete with lots of clips, moving parts, and commentary, when it crashed. This is not typically an issue, but when I reloaded the app, it had changed, and I was unable, try as I might, to log back into it. I hope to find a … Read more
Education is a mess, and funding it is a mess. Costs are high, learning is low, and there are many ideas about what to do that don’t even begin to address the purpose of public education or its problems. Back in January, Ian and Jody Underwood joined me to talk about all things education, and … Read more
This week on GrokTALK!, my guest is…me. Yes, it’s just me. The topic is the rising desire to cajole the mysterious political middle and the rise of the Woke Right. I try to figure out what it means and provide a possible path for us to consider to avoid or prevent the radicalization at both … Read more
My “other job” made demands of me this week that made recording a new edition of GrokTALK! Impossible. My apologies for a week without new content. Thankfully, I can share past episodes from previous iterations. I jumped into the Wayback Machine (there are more than 170+ episodes online to choose from) and pulled this segment … Read more
Bad zoning bills persist in the State Legislature after crossover, and we must stop them. I also didn’t have time to do a new show this week (divine intervention?), so it’s an excellent time to revisit this. Len Turcotte was on Granite State Live this week. I had a similar conversation with Len in March … Read more
The Republican-majority Congress has a significant amount of work to do, and regardless of the outcome, it will likely be unable to please everyone, especially us. But no one will be as displeased as Democrats, but should we care? You can’t make them happy. Even when they get their destructive, miserable way, until they’ve made … Read more
This week, my guest is Phil Kerpen, the President of American Commitment. The topic is taxes, tax reform, and securing the 2017 Trump tax cuts before they expire. We also talk about messaging on both sides, a potential Republican cave to an age-old and dishonest Democrat narrative, and the economic consequences for everyday Americans if … Read more

Ambassador Francis Rooney was going to be my guest this week, but he’s out of the country and in unstable internet territory, so we’re rescheduling. Instead, I grabbed some clips off the internet and a few classic rants from this week’s episode of Granite State Live and pasted a show together. The last one still … Read more
New Hampshire House Rep Len Turcotte joins me in the first half-hour to discuss zoning laws and bills in the legislature that chip away at local control, “… in small bites in hopes you don’t realize it until it is too late.” Note: The bill he couldn’t recall the number of is HB631 (permitting residential … Read more
I was unable to manage my time to get a fresh show recorded and produced this week, so we must suffer through one of our past episodes as filler. I’ve chosen an audio-only episode from April of 2022 because ith ad topics relevant to today – where many of the questions have now been answered. … Read more
This week, my guest is the author of ‘Truth Was My Crime,’ Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff. Elisabeth was persecuted by the Austrian Government and the European Union for stating a historical fact, but because it was about the prophet Mohammad, it became a continental scandal, dragging Sabaditsch-Wolff through the #woke anti-free speech ringer. She joins us to … Read more
After watching the last segment of Granite State Live on Tuesday, I felt it imperative to pull it and share it as a standalone for people who missed it live but might not dive into a 160-minute deep podcast. Keith Hanson and Julian Acciard have a conversation about the Democrat Party’s black history when it … Read more
This is just a quick heads-up to let you know that I will be posting GrokTALK! on Thursday this week instead of Wednesday. My Guest will be Phill Kerpen from American Commitment, and we’ll be unwrapping the Trump Agenda. It’s a big topic with a lot of moving parts coming at us like water from … Read more

From unconstitutional monopiles to Claremont, from 5 feet to 30,000 feet, we fit it all in one hour.
