Brent Woodcox is Senior Policy Counsel to Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, a position in which he helps the Senate majority enact conservative policies for North Carolina.  However, Brent's ideas on growing a conservative movement are at odds with some in his Republican Party. Brent sits down with Brian and Skye to talk about his work in the Senate, his proclivity to tweet, his brand of optimistic conservatism, and his openness to run for political office in the future.   Plus, a Democrat drops out of the 2022 US Senate race and is reportedly eyeing a run for NC Attorney General, rumors of a Governor Roy Cooper POTUS run, and are we headed for an impeachment trial in the General Assembly after the holidays?

When Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson used the term "filth" in a speech about the LGBTQ+ community, Democrats quickly called for his resignation. The state Republican Party issued a statement of support for Robinson.

Two of those Republicans made no bones about it in posts on Twitter. Larry Shaheen and Brent Woodcox join Tim Boyum to talk about this situation and the future of their party.
