JOSH: WELCOME BACK.
FOR CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS,
THERE ARE STILL SOME LITMU
TESTS.
IT IS WHITE AMERICANS FOR
PROSPERITY -- IT IS WHY
AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY, 2012?
GREG: IT WAS INVOLVED FOR THE
PLEDGE.
JOSH: SO YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF
ISSUESJOSH: IN THE PLEDGE.
HOW RELEVANT IS IT THIS CYCLE?
GREG: THE ISSUES WE ARE LOOKING
AT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AT
THE STATE LEVEL.
WE HAVE SEEN TAX REDUCTION HAS
WORKED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
THE BUSINESS TAX RELIEF HAS LED
TO THE STORE REALLY FOR BUSINESS
TAXES.
THAT IS WHY WE WANT TO MAINTAIN
THAT ENVIRONMENT, MAKING SURE WE
PASS A RIGHT TO WORK LAW.
WE WILL BE THE FIRST IN THE
NORTHEAST TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO
WORK LAW.
AND UNWINDING OBAMACARE IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
IT IS UNDERMINING, AS WE SAW,
WITH PROJECTED HEALTH CARE
PREMIUM INCREASES UP TO 16%, IT
HAS NOT PROVIDED THE IMPACT WAS
SUGGESTED.
JOSH: SO WHO --
GREG: IS MOST BECAUSE HIS OFFICE
IS RIGHT BELOW HOURS, FOLLOWED
BY SENATOR JEANNIE FOERSTER.
AT THIS POINT, MAYOR GATSAS HAS
NOT SIGNED THE PLEDGE.
THEY EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO KEEP
THE MEDICARE EXPANSION IS --
UNDER OBAMACARE.
WE WILL ULTIMATELY SIGNED THE
PLEDGE AND JOIN PRETTY MUCH
EVERY MAJOR REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
SINCE WE STARTED.
JOSH YOU GUYS DO NOT ENDORSE.
BUT IN THIS RACE --
GREG: AND THERE ARE DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR WHO
SIGNED THE PLEDGE.
THEY ARE NOT REALLY HIGH
PROFILE, BUT THEY HAVE SIGNED
THE PLEDGE UNDER THE
GUBERNATORIAL LINE.
JOSH: SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THIS
ALREADY DIVIDES THE PART -- THE
PARTY.
GREG WE THINK IT IS A CLEAR
SIGNAL TO VOTERS OF WHAT THESE
FOLKS STAND FOR.
ARE THEY STANDING FOR THE
PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMIC FREEDOM,
WILL THEY CONTINUE PROGRESS FOR
CREATING A BETTER BUSINESS TAX
ENVIRONMENT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,
WHICH WILL BRING MORE JOBS AND
JOB GROWTH.
EVERY DAY, OVER 100,000 PEOPLE
LEAVE THE STATE TO GO TO
MASSACHUSETTS.
WE NEED TO FLIP THE SCRIPT AND
HA 93 NORTH LOOK LIKE 93 SOUTH
IN THE MORNING.
JOSH: DEMOCRATS WILL SAY WE LOOK
GOOD AS FAR AS UNEMPLOYMENT.
BUT IN THE GOVERNOR'S RACE, WHAT
IS YOUR TAKE?
GREG: I THINK IT IS THE MOST
WIDE-OPEN RACE SINCE 2002.
THAT WAS WITH CRAIG BENSON AND
GORDON HUMPHREY AND ON THE
ULTIMATE -- THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE,
YOU HAD THE SENATOR.
THAT WAS AS WIDE A RACE AS WE
COULD SEE.
HE OBVIOUSLY HAS A CRITICAL
IMPACT ON THE DIRECTION OF THE
STATE.
WE NEED TO PUT SOMEONE IN OFFICE
WHO EMBRACES FREE MARKET IDEAS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RACE --
EVERY SIDE IS PRETTY MUCH WIDE
OPEN.
THIS WEEK, WE SAW ON THE
DEMOCRATIC SIDE, THE UNIONS THAT
ARE THE MOST ACTIVE SPLIT ON
HUBEI --
THE FIREFIGHTERS ENDORSED
CONNELLY.
THE STATE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION
WENT THE OTHER WAY.
JOSH: DO YOU BELIEVE ON PRIMARY
DAY THESE LITMUS TESTS WILL BE A
CONSIDERATION FOR VOTERS?
GREG: WE THINK VOTERS WILL BE
CONCERNED ABOUT THESE ISSUES.
THEY ARE DEFINITELY CONCERNED
ABOUT OBAMA CARE.
WE THINK THEY WILL LOOK AT THOSE
ISSUES AND TRY TO FIND THOSE
CANDIDATES AND FIGURE OUT WHERE
THEY STAND.
JOSH YOU SAID YOU DO NOT WANT
TO TALK ABOUT DONALD TRUMP.
