Rep. Matthew Winslow wasn't just raised by a teenage mom, he grew up with her, and they even attended college together. The freshman Republican also talks about the importance of his faith and how it's led his family, career, politics, and how he sees those who do not share his values.

Brian and Skye also celebrate a state budget and review the ongoing shakeup in NC's congressional delegation and General Assembly as moves are made in the aftermath of redistricting. Brian also shares his thoughts on a former state senator who is looking at the race for Governor in 2024 and a current state senator who might be considering a run for Attorney General.
