Kari Lake is best known for being an unapologetic MAGA candidate for Arizona governor and a committed Donald Trump supporter. So listeners may be surprised to hear the message of unity she brought to New Hampshire during a recent campaign swing through the state.

And state Sen. Dan Innis, a professor at UNH, talks about the flier an anti-Israel student left on his car last week, yet another sign of the political turmoil that continues to hit New Hampshire politics as the Israel-Hamas war continues.

Live from the Airport Diner in Manchester, NHJournal presents Diner Table Economics!

Want to hear the specific economic proposals from the people who want to be the next president of the United States? You’ll get it here, straight from the candidates themselves, over a cup of coffee at the iconic Airport Diner.

No “horserace politics,” no “politics of personality,” just a 25-minute conversation about jobs, inflation, taxes, and spending. The policy positions from regulation to tax reform that impact the daily lives of Granite Staters and all Americans.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) leads one of the most economically-free states in the union (but not the MOST free, right, Gov. Sununu?) On this edition of the NHJournal podcast, he has a message for NH GOP primary voters: I understand how big government leads to unintended consequences. From COVID to EVs to tobacco bans, DeSantis says government mandates often make their own problems.

Plus, his take on the latest from Israel and its war with the Hamas terrorists, and the odd reaction from progressives in the U.S.

Emerson College Director of Polling Spencer Kimball's new poll of Granite State primary voters is full of surprises for Joe Biden -- and not necessarily good ones. And, Kimball says, Trump's lead in the GOP primary is beginning to approach the "I" word status ("Insurmountable?" "Inevitable?")

That's all part of the New Hampshire Journal podcast, plus our conversation with Rich Gulla, head of the SEA/SEIU in New Hampshire. If you're expecting the usual Big Labor cliches from the head of the state employee's union, you're in for a surprise here, too.

All made possible by our sponsor, Dr. Bruce Houghton at Perfect Smiles of Nashua.

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is on the NHJournal podcast, fresh from his debate with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics. The GOP POTUS candidate talks about the massive ideological divide that exists in American politics. He also shares what New Hampshire voters tell him they want to talk about, and he offers his take on the NH Dems' new push for more gun control in the wake of the horrific mass shooting in Maine.

Also, the host's take on the current state of the First in the Nation primary, and the potential impact of Rep. Dean Phillips' candidacy on the Democratic race.

Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips has rolled into the Granite State to turn the Democratic First in the Nation primary into a real race. Ana Radelat with the MinnPost.com covers Gopher State politics and she has the info every potential primary voter should know before they cast their (write-in?) ballot.

And we caught up with Casey DeSantis at the Red Arrow Diner in Londonderry and got her take on how GOP primary voters are feeling about the POTUS race and the nation.

All of that, after a (mostly) brief rant from  NHJournal Managing Editor Michael Graham about the stomach-churning level of humiliating obsequiousness NH Democrats have achieved in the wake of Joe Biden's attempt to kill the FITN primary.

On this edition of the NHJournal podcast, veteran NHGOP strategist Jim Merrill gives his prognosis of the current state of the First in the Nation primary, and the impact of "Leeroy Jenkins Caucus" on Republican politics.

And former Rep. Pat Abrami (R-Stratham) is now the chair of the new charitable gaming review commission, and he talks about the challenges ahead for an industry whose revenue has exploded but now finds itself dealing with scandal.

Suffolk University's David Paleologos has just released a new FITN GOP primary poll, with some fascinating results about the horse race, how the voters see it,  and whether Gov. Chris Sununu can send a candidate to the next level with a Granite State endorsement. Paleologos also discusses the current state of polling, and why a third party candidacy may be more than just a dream in 2024.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is our guest on the NHJournal podcast, talking about his candidacy for president, the need for an experienced executive in the White House, and the amazing things he can do with rope!

Also, a discourse on the new political meme that the Granite State's GOP primary is being "overlooked" in favor of the Iowa caucuses as POTUS candidates like Burgum (and DeSantis and Scott, etc) plant their flags in the Hawkeye State.

Don't believe it!

On this special edition of the New Hampshire Journal podcast, Gov. Ron DeSantis recounts his COVID experience -- from the day he first heard about a new virus beginning to spread, to his current political battle with former President Donald Trump over COVID policy.

Once denounced as "Death-Santis" for his refusal to close beaches and aggressively reopen schools, DeSantis recounts why he made the decisions he did, what he learned about leading during a crisis and why his friends were more worried about his political future than he was.

Is Trump right that DeSantis  "shut down Florida. It was tight as a drum?" Did the Florida governor have "no doubt" about sending kids back to school in the fall of 2020?

It's all part of the conversation.
