Summary
Ted welcomes old friend and former podcast partner Mark Carpenter back to the microphones for a wide-ranging and occasionally rowdy conversation about the upcoming North Idaho primary elections and the growing debate over what it truly means to be a conservative candidate.
Ted and Mark dig into voting records, campaign claims, and why some candidates are being accused of sounding more conservative on the campaign trail than they have proven to be in office. Yes, the term “RINO” comes up more than once — and no, this episode does not stay safely in the middle of the road.
But as always, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns along the way.
The two also discuss the controversial use of beagles in medical testing, whether people should refuse to watch movies starring actors whose politics they disagree with, and Mark’s shocking confession that he has never seen The Matrix.
Ted even floats the idea of attending a future “No Kings” rally in Bonners Ferry with microphones in hand to hear directly from the crowd.
Agree or disagree, this episode is candid, conversational, and unmistakably North Idaho.
