Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to NH Outlook. |
| Preshow #1 Return to index of stories... |
He's one of the most powerful political men in the Republican party. Karl Rove drew more attention in New Hampshire than most Democrats. And he's NOT the one running for president. |
| Preshow #2 Return to index of stories... |
And speaking of the President, what is the proper protcol for political leaders? Former House speaker Donna Sytek brings us some insight. |
| Intro Karl Rove Return to index of stories... |
First, With 9 candidates visiting New Hampshire campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, and no Republican challengers in sight for President Bush, it may seem like the Democrats will get all the attention for the foreseeable future. But the Republican White House is determined to get its share of attention. Richard Ager has this report. 3:29 - 3:40 |
| Karl Rove Return to index of stories... |
Track: White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove arrived as a man with a mission. Soundup: Karl Rove tape 1 12:17:50 Hey Karl, we have an early deadline. Just for 20 seconds or less. Track: No time for the media, the audience was waiting at the Politics 'n Eggs political forum. Karl Rove tape 1 12:24:30 It is great to be back in NH, home to two great American presidents - Franklin Pierce and Jeb Bartlett. Track: Rove paid tribute to a NH tradition that sorely tested his candidate. Bite: Karl Rove tape 1 12:26:50 The NH primary is one of the great tests of American democracy - it's really a great tradition. And in a time when we see too many of our candidates only on television, and listen to them on the radio or see them on the national news programs. This is a state that requires you to come and shake hands and listen to people and answer their questions. And that's a testing ground, and it's an important testing ground and one of the big tests is if you can take a blow and get back up on your feet and battle on. So I have - despite the fact that I had one bad night here - I have rather fond memories of NH. Standup: Rove's visit was the latest episode of a cabinet-level effort to sell the President's agenda. Earlier this month, Education Secretary Rodney Paige came to present a check to fund an early learning initiative… Soundup: Rodney Paige tape 1 00:26:57 "$14 million for the next five years." Track: More importantly, Paige came to defend the No Child Left Behind Act, which many state legislators, including Republicans, have criticized as an unfounded mandate the President has imposed on the states. Bite: Rodney Paige tape 1 00:24:42 His budget also provides more than $64 million for NH to implement the reforms of the No Child Left Behind Act. This is a mission for the president and Sen. Gregg. Track: In March, Commerce Secretary Don Evans made a similar appearance in March. Soundup: Don Evans tape 1 13:10:10 I bring thanks to you and appreciation to you from the President and the first Lady. I want you to know how much they appreciate the support they feel from you. Track: Evans also wanted his audience to know why they should support the president's tax cut proposals. Bite: Don Evans tape 1 13:25:30 There's three important reasons to pass this package. The first one is jobs, the second one is jobs, and the third one is jobs. Track: At St. Anselm's Institute of Politics, protesters awaited Karl Rove's arrival, while inside, about 300 students waited for the chance to ask questions. soundup: Karl Rove tape 2 13:33:35 Karl Rove introduced at St. A's Track: Rove started by offering three pieces of advice: Be sure to finish your degree, take as many writing courses as you can…. Bite: Karl Rove tape 2 13:39:32 The third thing is, don't believe the myths about American politics - and they are myths. I think the greatest myth is that somehow, some shape, some form, political candidates are able to mislead and confuse the voters. I like to call this theory 'the masses are asses' theory. Basically it says all you have to do is run the right snappy tv commercial or write the right soundbite and you'll be able to confuse people. Bite: Karl Rove tape 2 13:47:37 My question is, how do you justify the tax cut that gives the vast majority of the money to the top 1% of the country? When several Democratic candidates have stated about half that money would have been enough to provide universal health care? 13:48:08 The law gave the biggest percentage reductions to the people on the bottom. We took 9 million households off the tax rolls altogether. The President's growth program proposed this year would take an additional 7 million off the tax rolls altogether. All of them at the bottom level. The largest percentage reductions went to the people at the bottom of the tax rolls. Bite: Karl Rove tape 2 13:57:26 Having just come off a war in Iraq which we fought with the original intention of ridding Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction and disarming the country from future terrorism attacks, to this date, we haven't found any weapons of mass destruction and if this continues, how can we justify a war where this was our original intention. First of all, it was the battle of Iraq, not the war. This is part of the war on terrorism and this guy had twelve years to hide the stuff. The UN couldn't find it, being involved in the country over a period of time. It's been a matter of days - weeks since Baghdad fell. The country is still not completely under US and coalition control. I have absolutely no doubt that over the course of the next weeks and months that we will find the evidence of these weapons of mass destruction, no doubt at all. Track: There was also little doubt that Rove's visit ensured that campaigning Democrats were not the story of the day. Soundup: Karl Rove tape 2 14:12:50 applause Track: For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |

| Intro Sytek Return to index of stories... |
Say you have to introduce a presidential candidate at your next rotary club meeting or at some other group function. The governor is there along with several state senators, your US Senator and local officials. Do you know whom you should introduce first - and in what order the others should be recognized? Do you have an idea as to what kind of program you should put together for that luncheon? Well, there's a new book out that can answer those questions and more. |

-- sot Donna ***10:02:41 My history in legislature and other jobs I've done. I like to write policies and procedures so this seemed like a natural outgrowth of that - what should you invite official how do it what should you call him. It's helpful. Tips for running events, headaches seating dignitaries when a bunch, who gets introduced first. I thought this would be useful to have all in one place 10:03:03** -- re ask ally 10:45:18 You even include a program for setting up an event, if you haven't done so before. -- 10:10'':00 I remember first event I ran 30 years ago. I didn't have a clue. And who do you ask - where's the book on this? Now there's the book. :10:10:09 This will be helpful to a lot of people. For people who have to put on events. And in NH more reason with pres primary candidates in every hill and dale, it's likely small town chairman is going to have to put on an event for somebody nationally prominent. The national media might be there so don't you want to look your best? 1:10:34 -- BUTT BITE 10:03:26 I would say and you refer to yourself as Miss Manners Emily Post. Are you the miss manners of the house? Miss Manners of the house. I guess have to be - not any more expertise than anyone else who's been around as long I have. I think about the women who cared about fine points of protocol that taught me what they know so this is just handling it down next generation public officials. So that they'll have wisdom of those who cared in the past…10:04::01 -- TRACK DONNA SYTEK WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PROMINENT PLACE IN NH'S POLITICAL PAST. SHE IS THE FIRST WOMAN T0 SERVE AS NH 'S SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. AT THE SAME TIME, TWO OTHER WOMEN WERE ALSO IN POLITICALLY HIGH POWERED POSITIONS. JEANNE SHAHEEN WAS GOVERNOR - AND BEVERLY HOLLINGWORTH - PRESIDENT OF THE NH SENATE. -- SOT Donna 10:34: 39 One of elderly members house called it the petticoat govt., but I think it will be an interesting historical footnote. We were there cause care about policy, care about nh getting job done. The fact we were women was incidental. It may have been helpful because we were more interested in collaborating then men have a reputation for. It may have been the personalities of three women. It was nice to be there at that time it was nice to be part of a historical footnote. More importantly there to serve my state, it was a privilege to serve my state. I'm not even a native of nh and to come and be elected and not live here all your life, to not be terribly active in politics and come learn system public policy learn to make a difference is a wonderful privilege 10:35:421 -- TRACK AND SPEAKER SYTEK SHARES SOME OF WHAT SHE'S LEARNED IN HER BOOK. -- sot Donna 10:04:37 - For example Sen Gordon no long in office but he is still Sen Gordon. On other hand, members house no longer in office don't maintain title although all legislators become honorable. If you served in legislature, you're the honorable Donna Lee Lozeau for the rest of your life - even if it's one term. You can take honorable to your grave… A -Would you be introduced that way at a function? If you're there in capacity of legislature, but not if it's on flower arranging she laffs In that manner10:05 21 -- 10:06:02 there is dif how introduce audience and correspondence thing interest to me I had not done this properly for years. When you write to - if you're going to write to him If you introduce the congressman Charlie Bass - he's the Honorable Charles Bass on envelope, but the salutation of letter is dear mr. Bass10:06: -- 10:08:26 and you also deal with supreme ct justices. 10:08_28this was news to me. Members of sup court never use given name it's justice souter never just david souter. Only time use first name if two with same last name 10:08:50 -- TRACK EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE OCCASION TO INTRODUCE A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, THE FORMER SPEAKER HAS OTHER USEFUL CONTACT INFORMATION FOR STATE SENATORS, REPRESENTATIVES AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. THERE'S ALSO ADVICE ON HOW TO GET THEIR ATTENTION. -- 10;11:51 Having been on receiving end, as speaker getting email from all over state …became clear people don't know what to call officials whether its timely, who to write to what to say…I've gotten phone calls to get 10-15 phone calls on an issue it gets your attention. You want a call from constituent - it means a lot what you say subject of bill know whether bill in house or senate…your interested in before my committee tell me why should or mistake to pass this those kinds ofcalls helpful…call says call this is a good bill -- BUTT BITE 10:15:31 What if someone sends a form email or letter? First that as effective form letter a lot of times postcards from groups list legislator pick out yours send out postcard…regarding the issue it raises in your awareness. I would never vote in favor of something because I've gotten 24 emails or letters for and three against. But it puts the issue on radar screen that it's of interest in my area10:16:11 -- track THE SPEAKER ALSO TRANSLATES SOME OF THE "INSIDER" LANGUAGE USED IN CONCORD. -- 10:16:14:16 The jargon is confusing once in state house only place heard "itl" as a verb…we "itl-ed" that bill - inexpediant to legislate well what does that mean…not basic stuff, unless been here you might not know….10:17":03 -- track THE SPEAKER PLANS TO UPDATE HER BOOK EVERY TWO YEARS, ALONG WITH THE TWO YEAR ELECTION CYCLE. AND EVEN THOUGH THE BOOK HAS ONLY BEEN OUT FOR A FEW DAYS, SHE'S ALREADY GOTTEN FEEDBACK. - 109:24: |

Gregg 00:15:15 No Child Left Behind act of 2001 offers a key ingredient that's been missing in the other attempts to reform public education. It provides a framework for change that demands high standards and high expectation for every child in every classroom in every school and it demands accountability, and that's new - and that may be why we're getting some objections. 00:16;20 Change in the law is just the first step 00:24:42 His budget also provides more than $64 million for NH to implement the reforms of the No Child Left Behind Act. This is a mission for the president and Sen. Gregg. 00:31:00 IDEA - 00:26:57 "$14 million for the next five years." 00:27:45 applause Rodney Paige tape 1 00:38:40 "discuss with your team" 00:39:39 Paige in classroom 00:43:20 at school - Paige playing with kids Don Evans tape 1 13:10:10 I bring thanks to you and appreciation to you from the President and the first Lady. I want you to know how much they appreciate the support they feel from you. 13:11:20 Then you've got Charlie Bassmaster as we like to call him… 13:12:35 Serving is a great sacrifice 13:16:40 corporate corruption - but nothing helps if people don't tell truth 13:20:16 The President is focused on the economic conditions as well as the security conditions of this country right now. That's why he presented to the country a jobs and growth package early in the year. 13:25:30 There's three important reasons to pass this package. The first one is jobs, the second one is jobs, and the third one is jobs. Jobs today, jobs tomorrow and jobs for your children and grandchildren. 13:36:00 audience cutaways Karl Rove tape 1 Host: With 9 candidates officially seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, 11:4345 lunch is serviced 11:4355 tight on quiche 12:17:50 Hey Karl, we have an early deadline. Just for 20 seconds or less. 12;20:05 audience cutaways 12:22:20 more cutaways 12:24:14 The worst sin in the White House is to be late for a meeting 12:24:30 It is great to be back in NH, home to two great American presidents - Franklin Pierce and Jeb Bartlett. 12:26:35 You got a lot of reporters up here because they're worried about following the Democrat candidates around for the Democratic primary - and of course, we'd had a primary here a couple of years ago. In fact I spent a lot of time in this room being interviewed by various members of the media. 12:26:50 The NH primary is one of the great tests of American democracy - it's really a great tradition. And in a time when we see too many of our candidates only on television, and listen to them on the radio or see them on the national news programs. This is a state that requires you to come and shake hands and listen to people and answer their questions. And that's a testing ground, and it's an important testing ground and one of the big tests is if you can take a blow and get back up on your feet and battle on. So I have - despite the fact that I had one bad night here - I have rather fond memories of NH. 12:;27:55 Rath Man, 12:29;34 We've got to bring order to parts of Iraq that are still dangerous, we've got to pursue and find the leaders of the old regime who will be held to account for their crimes. We need to continue the search for the chemical and biological weapons that this man had 12 long years to hide. And we've got to rebuild Iraq where the dictator built palaces for himself - it is now the obligation of our country and its allies to build hospitals and schools and to stand with the people of Iraq as they establish a new govt. that will reflect the people of Iraq - that is by, of and for the people. 12:30:30 The events of the past several months have shown … 12:31:31 The president understands we have two great necessities - to win the war on terror and to strengthen the American economy. And he believes it's vital to strengthen the economy because at the core of his being, he believes in what Lincoln called the "right to rise." He believes in the ability of every American to rise in a free society, to dream, to improve, to work, to create, to achieve. As the president likes to say, the role of govt. is not to create wealth, the role of govt. is to create conditions in which risk-takers and entrepreneurs and dreamers can create something. 12:39:10 The president's package would have created 1.4 million new jobs by the end of 2004 and 600,000 would have come from the abolition of the double taxation of dividends. And even if it isn't good enough as corporate reform - it also stimulates the economy and is fundamentally fair. 12:42:46 There'll be time for politics later. Our hope is that while we come up and campaign in the NH primary, that we don't have a primary. $1500 and a desire to shake a few hands will get anybody on the ballot up here, but hopefully we'll be able to avoid having anybody serious campaigning against the President here. But we'll be here and we'll campaign, because we respect the process and this is a state where before they vote for you, they want to have a chance to meet you at least once, twice - or three times - or four times. Karl Rove tape 2 12:53:45 Your federal govt. in the next 10 years will collect $27 trillion or more. And it doesn't seem that problematic to us, out of that big an income stream, to take the difference between $350 billion, and $550 billion, and $726 billion out of a $27 trillion stream - is not a lot. The downside is that the economy will not be growing at the rate we need it to be, and the revenues will be less. 13:11:40 protesters at St. A's 13;32:30 cutaways of audience 13:33:35 Karl Rove introduced at St. A's Track: He began by offering three pieces of advice, beginning with - be sure to finish your degree. 13:39:07 Take all the govt. courses you desire, but my second bit of advice is take every writing course and English course you can take because the essence of politics is communications, and I've seen lots of kids come through the political campaigns and they took this course in statistics and that course in political theory and this course in constitutional govt. but I see a lot of them that would do a heck of a lot better if they took a Shakespeare course or a writing course or something to hone their skills to communicate. 13:39:32 The third thing is, don't believe the myths about American politics - and they are myths. I think the greatest myth is that somehow, some shape, some form, political candidates are able to mislead and confuse the voters. I like to call this theory 'the masses are asses' theory. Basically it says all you have to do is run the right snappy tv commercial or write the right soundbite and you'll be able to confuse people. 13:47:37 My question is, how do you justify the tax cut that gives the vast majority of the money to the top 1% of the country? When several Democratic candidates have stated about half that money would have been enough to provide universal health care? 13:48:08 The law gave the biggest percentage reductions to the people on the bottom. We took 9 million households off the tax rolls altogether. The President's growth program proposed this year would take an additional 7 million off the tax rolls altogether. All of them at the bottom level. The largest percentage reductions went to the people at the bottom of the tax rolls. 13:48:40 cutaway of questioner 13;49:10 wide shot of Rove answering 13:57:26 Having just come off a war in Iraq which we fought with the original intention of ridding Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction and disarming the country from future terrorism attacks, to this date, we haven't found any weapons of mass destruction and if this continues, how can we justify a war where this was our original intention.
