WELCOME BACK TO CLOSE UP. IT'S BEEN 16 YEARS SINCE CHRIS SUNUNU WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. IN THAT SPAN, HE WENT UNDEFEATED IN THREE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL RACES AND FOUR CAMPAIGNS FOR GOVERNOR. HE'S HEADING OFF FOR NEW NEW ADVENTURES IN JANUARY, BUT HE STILL HAS A LOT TO DO AND A LOT TO SAY ABOUT HOW THIS ELECTION YEAR IS GOING. HERE'S OUR INTERVIEW, WHICH WAS RECORDED ON THURSDAY BEFORE THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. REWIND TO THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. YOU KNOW, YOU WERE ON THAT. HALEY BANDWAGON. YOU'RE SAYING TRUMP CAN'T BE THE NOMINEE. HE'S NOT GOING TO WIN, BUT NOW HE'S THE NOMINEE AND YOU'RE SUPPORTING HIM.

DO YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO WIN THIS ELECTION IN NOVEMBER? YEAH, I DO. AND LOOK, I MEAN, I'VE HAD MY CRITICISMS WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT. I STICK BY ALL THOSE, ACTUALLY. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S ABOUT CHOICES, RIGHT? AND I THINK IT'S PRETTY WIDELY UNDERSTOOD THAT NO ONE REALLY LOVES BOTH CANDIDATES AT THE TOP. BUT PEOPLE WANT CHANGE. THEY DO. YOU CAN'T TELL PEOPLE THE ECONOMY IS FINE WHEN THEY HAVE RECORD CREDIT CARD DEBT, OR INFLATION IS REALLY CRUSHING THEIR FAMILIES. THEY CAN'T PAY RENT, ALL THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. SO THEY WANT THAT TYPE OF CULTURE CHANGE, THAT ATTITUDE CHANGE. AND WELL, YOU KNOW, WITH TRUMP.

COMES A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION. THAT'S WHAT I LIKE. AN ADMINISTRATION THAT BELIEVES IN INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, THAT BELIEVES IN STATES' RIGHTS, THAT BELIEVES LIMITED GOVERNMENT, AND LOCAL CONTROL IS PROBABLY BEST. THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE BEST EFFICIENCY OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND THE BEST RESULTS INTERNATIONALLY. I MEAN, THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL, RIGHT? AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS THE OPPORTUNITY AND HAS BEEN SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THIS INTERNATIONAL CHAOS AS THE WORLD LEADER WHEN I WAS PRESIDENT. SO HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF THOSE TYPES OF, I THINK, VERY SIMPLE ARGUMENTS TO MAKE. BUT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO, OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, KEEP CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE ON THEIR ANXIETIES AND NOT JUST TALKING.

IN A BLUSTERY WAY. HE'S GOT TO BRING SOLUTIONS. YOU CAN'T SAY INFLATION IS BAD, BUT NOT TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TO FIX IT. AND IF HE DOES THAT, HE CAN BE HE CAN BE VERY SUCCESSFUL. FASCINATING RESULTS IN ONE OF THESE LATEST UNH SURVEY CENTER POLLS. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE ASKED WHAT SUNUNU DECISION DO YOU DISAGREE WITH MOST? AND IT WAS YOUR SUPPORT FOR TRUMP BY A MILE. PEOPLE WERE UPSET WITH. SO YOU KNOW WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THESE FOLKS WHO, YOU KNOW, HAD SUPPORTED YOU OR MAYBE NOT? AND, YOU KNOW, THEY SAW YOU TAKING ON TRUMP IN A FORCEFUL WAY AND THEN GO BACK AND THEY EXPECTED YOU TO CONTINUE TO TAKE HIM ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU TELL THEM?

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S A PRIMARY, RIGHT? PRIMARIES ARE WHEN ALL THESE A DOZEN CANDIDATES COME OUT. THEY ALL WANTED TO BEAT TRUMP. THEY ALL WANTED TO TO BE PRESIDENT. I ENDORSED NIKKI HALEY. WE GOT BEHIND SOMEONE. UH, NIKKI DID VERY WELL HERE. DIDN'T QUITE WIN. YOU KNOW, 45% OF THE VOTE. TRYING TO REALLY CHANGE THE NARRATIVE, NOT JUST FOR NEW, NEW HAMPSHIRE, BUT FOR THE COUNTRY. I THINK SHE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB. I THINK SHE'D BE A PHENOMENAL, UH, NOMINEE IF SHE WAS THE NOMINEE OF THE PARTY AT THIS POINT, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY, SHE'S NOT, UM, BUT YEAH, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT.

THOSE FUNDAMENTAL IDEALS. THE CANDIDATE THAT DRIVES THE ON THE IDEALS OF OF THE INDIVIDUAL ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ATTITUDE AND ALL THESE THINGS THAT THAT I HAVE CRITICISMS WITH, WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT. IT'S A RESULTS. I'M A RESULTS GUY. YOU GOT TO YOU CAN'T JUST BE BLUSTERY ABOUT A POLICY. YOU GOT TO GET SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO GOING TO MAKE A CHANGE. AND I MEAN, IF YOU IF YOU'RE GOING TO STICK WITH JOE BIDEN AND THEN WE'RE LITERALLY GOING TO HAVE THE SAME THING FOR FOUR MORE YEARS. AND BEYOND. UH, THERE WAS NEVER A MORAL COMPONENT, THOUGH, TO YOUR OPPOSITION TO TRUMP, IT WAS ALWAYS JUST ABOUT WHO CAN WIN. WELL, NO. LOOK, I KNOW WELL, IN TERMS OF

THE OPPOSITION OF TRUMP. NO, I MEAN, I'VE HAD A LOT OF A LOT OF STATEMENTS THAT I STAND BEHIND. WHERE, YOU KNOW, I THINK CHARACTER IS AN ISSUE WITH HIM. OF COURSE. UM, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN SETS OF PRIORITIES. I DON'T JUDGE ANYBODY IF THEY SAY JANUARY 6TH IS A DISQUALIFIER. WELL, THAT'S YOUR OPINION. I MIGHT DISAGREE WITH IT, BUT I DON'T. I'M NOT GOING TO JUDGE YOU FOR THAT. I THINK THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY IS EVERYONE'S JUDGING EACH OTHER BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES OR VOTERS MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT SET OF PRIORITIES. FOR SOME PEOPLE, INFLATION IS CRUSHING THEM. THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE IS REAL.

THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO HAVE MORE SAY IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR SCHOOLS IS VERY REAL. AND AND AGAIN, THAT MIGHT NOT BE YOUR SITUATION, BUT IT'S THEIR SITUATION. SO LET'S JUST RESPECT THAT. AND THAT'S THE PROCESS. AT THE END OF THE DAY. HERE'S THE BEST PART. THE VOTERS WILL DECIDE WHO RUNS THIS COUNTRY. THE VOTERS WILL DECIDE. NOT YOU, NOT ME, NOT THE ESTABLISHMENT. IF YOU GET OUT AND VOTE, BE A PART OF THAT PROCESS. I DON'T CARE WHO YOU VOTE FOR. VOTE FOR TRUMP, VOTE FOR BIDEN. BUT JUST GO VOTE. PARTICIPATE. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. AND YOU'VE SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU BELIEVE THAT TRUMP, QUOTE, ABSOLUTELY CONTRIBUTED TO AN

INSURRECTION ON JANUARY 6TH. SO YOU DON'T SEE HIM AS AN ONGOING THREAT TO THE CONSTITUTION. NO, NO, NO, NO. LOOK, I GET THE WHOLE THE HYPERBOLE AND ALL OF THAT SORT OF THING. HE'S BLUSTERY AND YOU KNOW, HE'S HE TALKS LIKE THAT. I'M NOT DEFENDING ANY OF THAT. THAT'S NOT THE WAY I GOVERN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S ABOUT AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE THAT THIS COUNTRY IS LOOKING FOR. AND IT'S NOT JUST ME RIGHT. CLEARLY, MOST OF THE COUNTRY, I MEAN, HE'S LEADING IN MOST POLLS, ESPECIALLY IN THE SWING STATES, RIGHT NOW THAT YOU LOOK AT INDEPENDENTS, A MAJORITY OF THIS COUNTRY IS SAYING, YEAH, WE WANT A CHANGE.

ARE YOU GOING TO BE ATTENDING THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION COMING UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS? I DON'T THINK SO. THAT JUST LOOKS LIKE A MASSIVE TRAFFIC JAM. THE CONVENTIONS, LIKE THE SUPER BOWL, IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA TO GO, BUT IT'S PROBABLY MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE TO BE IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. I'LL PROBABLY DO SOME PRESS AND THINGS AROUND IT, BUT IT'S A LIKE IN A SMALL TOWN LIKE MILWAUKEE. I THINK IT'S A LOGISTICS NIGHTMARE, IF ANYTHING. SO NO, I'LL PROBABLY TAKE A PASS. IS IT IS THERE ANY PART OF THAT THAT IS PART OF THAT MORAL STAND THAT YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED TOO MUCH WITH? THAT FUTURE POTENTIAL AT THE

CONVENTION? YEAH. OH NO. I THINK IT'D BE GREAT TO GO TO THE CONVENTION. NO, I WOULD. I THINK IT WOULD BE A POTENTIALLY A LOT OF FUN. BUT HONESTLY, IT'S FOR ME. IT'S JUST MORE OF A HEADACHE THAN ANYTHING. AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE GOVERNOR NEXT YEAR AND, AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING. I CAN DO A LOT OF THE PRESS FROM HERE. THAT I WOULD LIKELY DO IN ANY OF THE COMMENTARY YOU MENTIONED. UH, RACE FOR GOVERNOR. OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE GOVERNOR NEXT YEAR. AND YOU'D LIKE THAT PERSON TAKING OVER FOR YOU TO BE A REPUBLICAN. WE JUST SAW WITHIN THIS LAST WEEK THAT FORMER SENATE PRESIDENT CHUCK MORSE RELEASED HIS FINANCIAL. UH, REPORT FOR

HIS CAMPAIGN. HE INITIALLY HAD NOT WANTED TO FILE THAT, AND THEN DID. THE RESULTS WERE NOT GOOD. HE DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY. HIS BURN RATE IS VERY HIGH. DO YOU THINK HE SHOULD STAY IN THIS RACE? WELL, YEAH. I MEAN, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH CHUCK STAYING IN THE RACE. I WOULD JUST SAY, OBVIOUSLY, I DON'T KNOW WHO DICTATED THAT POLITICAL STRATEGY, BUT IT WAS CLEARLY AWFUL. UM, YOU KNOW, SENATOR AYOTTE IS RAISING MONEY. SHE'S TALKING TO PEOPLE. SHE'S GETTING ENDORSEMENTS. SHE'S GOING OUT DOING THE RETAIL POLITICS. SHE'S OBVIOUSLY A VERY STRONG CANDIDATE. UM, IF CHUCK IS GOING TO STAY IN THE RACE, THEN HE'S GOT TO UP

HIS GAME. THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. UM, BOTH ON THE FINANCIAL SIDE, BOTH ON CONNECTING WITH VOTERS. BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO THROW EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK AT US HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES THAT RIGHT, RIGHT NOW, CHUCK DOWN TO THE STATE WHEN WE'RE REALLY THE STATE THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A PART OF. WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT SUCCESSES. I THINK THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE HAS TO BUILD ON THAT SUCCESS. BUILD ON THAT MOMENTUM. THAT POSITIVITY. THAT ENERGY. THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO TRY TO BE, YOU KNOW, NEGATIVE AND BRING EVERYTHING DOWN. SO WE NEED TO PUT OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD. SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE PRIMARY. BUT YOU BETTER COME

WITH YOUR BEST GAME. IF YOU WERE STILL RUNNING, SEEKING A SIXTH TERM, WOULD THAT BE FIFTH? WHATEVER IT WAS, WOULD YOU WANT TO BE RUNNING AGAINST MAYOR CRAIG OR COUNCILLOR WARMINGTON? OH, I NEVER, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T CARE, I WOULDN'T CARE. I NEVER REALLY LOOK AT MY OPPONENT. I REALLY TRY TO BE RESULTS-DRIVEN AND RUN ON MY RESULTS AS OPPOSED TO, I MEAN, I DON'T DO, I NEVER DID NEGATIVE ADS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO I, YOU KNOW, I CAN JUST TALK ABOUT MY, MY PREVIOUS RACES. YOU ALWAYS, YOU ALWAYS WANT TO FOCUS ON YOURSELF AS THE CANDIDATE AND HOW YOU'RE CONNECTING WITH VOTERS. YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR ISSUES ARE. AND I TELL PEOPLE THIS ALL THE TIME, DON'T TALK ABOUT THE

ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU AS A CANDIDATE. TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT YOUR THAT PEOPLE WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT. IT'S ABOUT THE VOTERS. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU. YOU'RE JUST A TOOL, IF YOU WILL, TO DRIVE THE ISSUES THAT THE VOTERS ARE TALKING ABOUT. SO, UM, I JUST BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, GOOD CANDIDATES FOCUS ON THEMSELVES, WHAT THEY'RE BRINGING TO THE TABLE, THE CHANGE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BRING. AND IF YOU STICK TO THAT AND CONNECT WITH PEOPLE ON JUST A VERY REAL NORMAL LEVEL, YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. LET'S TALK A LITTLE LEGISLATION. WERE YOU SURPRISED THAT THE CANNABIS LEGALIZATION BILL DIDN'T MAKE IT TO YOUR DESK? UM, I WOULDN'T SAY SURPRISE 50.

I KNEW IT WAS 50/50. SO, YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF, I THINK I LOST BY, WHAT, 4 OR 5 VOTES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. PROBABLY THE LAST CHANCE THE LEGISLATURE HAD TO POTENTIALLY PASS SOMETHING. I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SIGNED IT, FRANKLY. UM, BECAUSE IT HAD A LOT OF THE RESTRICTIONS AND STIPULATIONS I WANTED IN THERE. BUT, UM, BUT YEAH, MY GUESS IS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT BILL HIT THE GOVERNOR'S DESK OR GET PASSED BY A GOVERNOR ANYTIME SOON. YEAH, IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT DEVELOPS. A LOT OF ATTENTION ON SOME BILLS HEADING TO YOUR DESK REGARDING TRANSGENDER ISSUES. YOU SAID RIGHT HERE BEFORE.

QUOTE, I DON'T FUNDAMENTALLY, I FUNDAMENTALLY DON'T BELIEVE THAT BIOLOGICAL BOYS SHOULD BE COMPETING IN GIRLS' SPORTS ON THAT ISSUE. HAS YOUR THINKING CHANGED AT ALL THROUGH THIS DEBATE? NO, NO, BECAUSE AND NOT ONLY HAS IT NOT CHANGED. I MEAN, IT REALLY ALIGNS WITH IF YOU LOOK AT POLLS AND WHERE I MEAN, MOST STATES HAVE PASSED LAWS LIKE THAT AT THIS POINT. IF YOU POLL, YOU KNOW, THE AVERAGE CITIZENS RIGHT HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, LISTEN TO WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS NOW. SO, UM, AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THESE PROGRESSIVE COUNTRIES IN EUROPE, EVEN SAYING, AH, ENOUGH OF THIS. YOU KNOW, EVERYONE'S KIND OF

TAKING A BIT OF A STEP BACK. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A NEW ISSUE. AND THAT'S SOMETHING I ALWAYS REMIND FOLKS. IT'S A NEW ISSUE. AND YOU KIND OF HAVE TO SEE HOW THIS STUFF PLAYS OUT. UM, SOMETIMES YOU PASS LAWS THAT HAVE VERY LITTLE IMPACT. SOMETIMES YOU PASS LAWS THAT YOU THINK AREN'T GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF IMPACT AND BECOME VERY SUBSTANTIAL. AND ISSUES LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF TAKING A LOOK AT IT AND I'LL KIND OF TAKE A LOOK AT THE LAST PIECE OF LEGISLATION. BUT NO, MY MY THINKING HASN'T CHANGED ON THAT AT ALL. NO. NO ONE GETS ELECTED FOUR TIMES WITHOUT CONVEYING SOME EMPATHY TO VOTERS. AND CERTAINLY THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE CERTAIN

YOUNG ATHLETES HERE. ONE OF THEM CAME TO TESTIFY AT THE STATEHOUSE. PARKER TERRELL PLAYED SOCCER FOR A HIGH SCHOOL IN PLYMOUTH. THIS IS A TRANS GIRL. IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT THEY UNDULY CHANGED THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME. THERE'S NO PHYSICAL DOMINANCE THERE. THIS INDIVIDUAL IS NOT, YOU KNOW, HURTING OTHER GIRLS THROUGH THEIR PLAY. BUT YOU SIGN THIS BILL AND THEY'RE OFF THE TEAM. DOES THAT BOTHER YOU AT ALL? BUT THE BILL IS NOT ABOUT THAT INDIVIDUAL. I MEAN, I HEARD THOSE STORIES AND I EMPATHIZE WITH ALL OF THAT. BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THAT INDIVIDUAL. IT'S ABOUT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. IT'S ABOUT FAIRNESS. IT'S ABOUT SAFETY. UM, YOU'VE SEEN ALL ACROSS THE

COUNTRY. OTHER STORIES OF, YOU KNOW, STATE CHAMPIONS. UH, BIOLOGICAL BOYS BECOMING STATE CHAMPIONS. THAT AFFECTS SCHOLARSHIPS. IT AFFECTS THE FAIRNESS OF COMPETITION. IT DOES HAVE A RESONATING EFFECT. SO NO, YOU NEVER WANT TO LOOK AT ANY LAW ABOUT HOW IT AFFECTS ONE PERSON OR JUST ONE GROUP. MY JOB IS TO REALLY LOOK OUT FOR AND TRY TO PASS THE BEST LAWS AND THE BEST POLICIES THAT AFFECT 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE, BOTH TODAY AND WHERE IT COULD BE IN THE FUTURE. IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT ISSUE, THOUGH, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE PROTESTERS COME IN THE HALLWAYS AND THEY'RE OUT THERE SINGING THINGS LIKE CHRIS SUNUNU, OUR FATE IS IN YOUR HANDS. YEAH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S

DIFFERENT, RIGHT? IT'S NOT JUST OPPOSITION. SO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOME COMPASSION FROM YOU. WELL, LOOK, I TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN HOW I WAS TRYING TO HAVE AN EMPATHETIC EAR AND UNDERSTAND THE OTHER SIDE OF A STORY. UM, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T AGREE WITH SOMEONE ON A POLICY DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE COMPASSION FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL STORY, THEIR ISSUE. WHAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING. UM, BUT YOU HAVE TO AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT WHEN YOU LOOK AT ANY BILL AND ANY LAW, HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT EVERYBODY BOTH TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE, LONG TERM. UM, LIKE I SAID, THOSE ASPECTS OF FAIRNESS AND SAFETY, SOMETIMES THEY COME INTO PLAY, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.

BUT WHEN THEY DO, THEY CAN BE VERY SERIOUS. LET'S GET BACK TO SOME CAMPAIGN POLITICS BEFORE WE HIT THE BREAK HERE. HELP SETTLE A DEBATE ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE HERE. WHO IS MORE REAL NEW HAMPSHIRE IN THAT CD TWO DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY? COLIN VAN OSTERN, WHO MOVED HERE BUT HAS LIVED HERE FOR A LONG TIME, OR MAGGIE GOODLANDER, WHO GREW UP HERE BUT THEN MOVED TO DC AND IS NOW BACK TO RUN FOR CONGRESS RENTING IN NASHUA. I DON'T CARE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO KNOW. I MEAN, I YOU KNOW, THAT'S A SILLY QUESTION. LOOK, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, REALLY TO PICK THE CANDIDATE THAT I THINK RESONATES WITH CD TWO AND WHERE THEY WANT TO BE. UM, I'M GOING TO WORK VERY HARD.

FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE THAT COMES OUT OF THERE. I THINK YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF REALLY GOOD CANDIDATES, ACTUALLY. UM, IN TERMS OF, UH, YOU KNOW, LILY TANG WILLIAMS, I THINK SHE HAS THIS AMAZING STORY. AS THIS BORN IN CHINA, GREW UP IN COMMUNIST CHINA, CAME OVER HERE AND REALLY EXPERIENCED FREEDOM AS AN AMERICAN AND UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES THAT AND LIVES IN THE LIVE FREE OR DIE STATE. VIKRAM IS IS THIS GREAT CANDIDATE AS WELL. HE RAN FOR THE US SENATE JUST PASSIONATE ABOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE AND AND I MEAN SO. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF REALLY GOOD REPUBLICANS ON THAT SIDE RUNNING IN A DISTRICT AND CONNECTING WITH THEIR VOTERS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES IN SUCH A POSITIVE

WAY, I THINK THAT COULD BE A KIND OF QUIET GET FOR THE REPUBLICANS NATIONALLY. ALL RIGHT, CHRIS SUNUNU. HANG TIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AFTER THE BREAK, AND WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE, INCLUDING HIS BATTLE WITH HOSPITALS OVER THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GENERATED BY THE MEDICAID E.
