Sen. Warren Daniel on Western NC, West Point, & West Jones Street

Sen. Warren Daniel was one of the young guns in the General Assembly in 2011.  His freshman class of Republicans had just ushered in GOP control of the Senate, a chamber controlled by Democrats for over a century.  

The Burke County Republican talks about his legislative work over the last decade as well as his childhood in western North Carolina, his decision to attend the prestigious U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and even talks about what his political future may, or may not, hold.  

Skye and Brian also talk about two hemp bills moving in the General Assembly, an expansive Medicaid expansion bill, a controversial Parents Bill of Rights bill on the move, a House resignation, and more.
