Capitol Closeup

Paul and Zandra Rice Hawkins of Granite Sate Progress and the NH Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence discuss New Hampshire gun laws, including new legislation signed by the Governor which prohibits the state from enforcing Federal gun safety regulations. The new law has created confusion, consternation and chaos in the law enforcement community and threatens the safety of citizens and schools.

The panel discusses whether the Hutchinson testimony and Dobbs ruling have fundamentally altered the political landscape in America, whether Congressional dysfunction is the root cause of our biggest problems, and whether you'd want to wake up next to Mitch McConnell.

Paul reflects on Independence Day, the warning from past Presidents in great speeches about the dangers to the Nation from within and the importance of unity.

Part 2 of the episode where financial Advisor Mike Morton joins Matt to walk through what to do, or not do, about the current bear market. For example, what about delaying retirement? Spending Less? Or maybe is all of this good news, especially if you're under 30? (hint: the market still remains in better shape than it was three years ago).

The panel dives into whether President Biden should Pardon Donald Trump, or even open up his whole thought process on what to do to public view.  Then, does it matter that Democrats are grousing about whether Joe Biden should lead the party in 2024?  And why are Republicans turning on Dan Crenshaw?

Paul speaks with Jessica Martin of Intown Concord about the planning for Concord's biggest annual community event, Market Days, June 23-25 and then turns to politics, interviewing State Representative Debra Altschiller about her run for the NH State Senate in District 24.

This is part 2 of the podcast on reclaiming your time and attention.

There aren’t enough hours in the day. Time is precious. It goes by in the blink of an eye. We all know the cliches. But they're true, we all wish we could focus in on what really matters to us for more of our lives. As a financial planner, Mike Morton works with people all the time who say what they really want it to have more of that precious time. So Mike and Matt break down some of the key lessons learned from research and Mike's experience with clients. Did you know that on average people pick up their phones every four minutes? Have you ever tried a “phone free” point in your day? You’d be surprised by how much time you rescue from social media, mindless drivel, and other distractions from what you want to be doing with your most valuable  resource.

The panel gets into the possibilities and pitfalls as the January 6 committee goes public.  Also, an inside view on how elected leaders deal with difficult problems involving complicated, often painful tradeoffs, like sanctioning China for repressing Uygurs or whether to meet with Mohammed bin Salman.  Is our political system equipped to deal with issues like this?
