Federalism, Minnesota's Policy Shift, and the Fight for Conservative Unity
They start with federalism and ask a hard question: why do some leaders demand state power only when it fits their side? Using past Supreme Court rulings and the COVID response, Perry and Lori challenge North Dakota leaders to be a strong line of defense against growing federal control and socialist policies. They also explore whether the pandemic sparked a new wave of conservative action, much like Obamacare did with the Tea Party.
The conversation then turns to Minnesota’s new Paid Family and Medical Leave law and its real-world impact. With tens of thousands already applying and millions paid out, Perry and Lori warn about the cost to workers, employers, and the state’s economy. They discuss why some businesses are leaving Minnesota and why more people are choosing North Dakota instead. The show also tackles big questions about population shifts, culture, and whether conservatives should keep fighting in Minnesota or move to friendlier ground.
Next, Perry shares a powerful graph that shows how wide and diverse opinions are on the right compared to the left. They talk about how hard it is to unite such a broad movement, what that means for Republican leadership, and why figures like Charlie Kirk have stood out by bringing people together. Finally, the show looks ahead to the North Dakota Republican Convention, the upcoming visit from Steve Deace, and the role of faith in America’s future. Perry and Lori dig into tough topics like church leadership, same-sex marriage, “toxic empathy,” and why churches should focus on truth, repentance, and real hope. This episode is a strong, honest look at politics, culture, and the fight to govern with clear values.
