Steve SmithHOST
What are the towns?
Hope DamonGUEST
Okay, folks, you ready? Ackworth, Langdon, Lemster, Goshen, Washington, Springfield, Sunapee, my hometown of Croydon, and the city of Claremont.
Hope DamonGUEST
So it's a big district by New Hampshire rep standards.
Hope DamonGUEST
And there's two seats in District 8.
Hope DamonGUEST
And just to be complete, all of those towns have at least one additional rep who runs in what's called a base district.
Hope DamonGUEST
So for instance, there's a Sunapee-Springfield district, has one seat in it, there's a Claremont-Croydon district, has three seats in it, and then the remaining five towns that I like to call my southern tier is District 4, and that has one seat as well.
Hope DamonGUEST
So, everybody in this part of Sullivan County has at least three reps, and the Claremont-Croydon people have five reps.
Hope DamonGUEST
Where does Croydon get five? That's baloney.
Steve SmithHOST
Do
Sam DeeringGUEST
you want me to list them? If you were to name them off, what would they be? Washington, Lempster, Langdon, Ackworth, Goshen, Springfield, Sunapee, Claremont, Croydon.
Sam DeeringGUEST
You didn't even have to count your fingers.
Sam DeeringGUEST
I've got a lot of practice at this point.
11 MINS LATER
Steve SmithHOST
And you have to go out and make new friends.
Steve SmithHOST
Yeah.
Steve SmithHOST
You kind of get this little flair, like Croydon's the Wild West and Claremont is, you know, Claremont's Claremont.
Steve SmithHOST
They've been doing Claremont for a long time.
Stephen VilleeGUEST
Okay.
Stephen VilleeGUEST
As I mean, as far as like activist judges, I mean, one thing that comes to mind is the Claremont decision.
Stephen VilleeGUEST
Are you are you familiar with Claremont and how? Well,
Chris BakerHOST
so I'm not familiar with the Claremont decision.
Stephen VilleeGUEST
OK, what happened was school funding was just kind of what the legislature allowed.
Stephen VilleeGUEST
And then in the early 90s, some towns sued.
Stephen VilleeGUEST
And they specifically pointed to something in Article 83 of the Constitution that says it shall be the duty of the legislature to cherish education, blah, blah, blah.
Stephen VilleeGUEST
And they said, well, that word cherish means you've got to actually pay for it.
JustinGUEST
Yeah, we got one more race coming up.
JustinGUEST
Uh, if you're in Claremont, New Hampshire on October 24th, come see us, the Sprint Cars of New England.
JustinGUEST
Um, [ts] but we just announced our Vermont Motorsports Hall of Fame class for 2026, and just search it.
JustinGUEST
You'll find it.
Kristen SeaveyHOST
He was a stocky figure with a crooked nose.
Kristen SeaveyHOST
Originally from Claremont, New Hampshire, Officer Smith had left high school early to enlist in the Army as a field medic.
Kristen SeaveyHOST
An injury during the Battle of the Bulge at the end of World War II had earned him two Bronze Stars and an Honorable Discharge.
Kristen SeaveyHOST
Re-entry into civilian life hadn't been easy for him.
Eli EllisHOST
[laughs] Beautiful, Clark.
Jeremy HerrellHOST
Now, you do remember when they were complaining that Donald Trump wasn't paying his campaign bills in 2016, and he had a measly bill of, like, $261 in Claremont, New Hampshire, and they couldn't get over it? Come to find out, they never sent him the, [laughs] the invoice.
Jeremy HerrellHOST
But, like, this guy hasn't paid anybody that built the monolith that he's in for his library, and the mainstream media says, stays as quiet as a church mouse, right? We better not talk about that.
Jeremy HerrellHOST
Uh, there's companies laying people off because Barack Hussein Obama hasn't paid them, or the people that got the money together.

Jeremy HerrellHOST
And they were the same regions every time.
Jeremy HerrellHOST
No place worse than the place I lived for 20-something years, New Hampshire.
Jeremy HerrellHOST
Claremont, New Hampshire, was the place where all the people that walk around in pajama pants with nose rings and half blue and half pu- purple hair, spending their government-issued money at McDonald's and Walmart.
Jeremy HerrellHOST
One person, Eli, one person in the entire trip there and back gave me the middle finger.
Jamie CodyGUEST
New Hampshire housing is great.
Jamie CodyGUEST
We have Portsmouth, Rochester, Dover, Nashua, Manchester, Concord, Keene, Claremont.
Jamie CodyGUEST
And we want to just keep growing this list.
Jamie CodyGUEST
But as of recently from the federal government, the legislations that have passed have actually increased our ability to serve young people in this way, meaning that there used to be caps, like you could not have FYI vouchers past 25.
