North Dakota State Representatives Jeff Hoverson and Senator Jeff Magrum discuss conservative politics and legislative priorities in this in-depth conversation from the Golden Microphone studio. The hosts focus on identifying "true conservatives" in the North Dakota legislature—those who consistently vote according to the Republican platform, as tracked on Legend8.com.
The discussion highlights several conservative challengers running in upcoming primaries, including Dr. Phil Solberg, Everett Duckworth, and Russ Bach in District 13, as well as Jennifer Benson in District 41. The legislators emphasize the importance of grassroots support, both financial contributions and door-to-door campaigning, to help these candidates succeed.
A significant portion of the conversation centers on the recent special legislative session's controversial universal free lunch bill, which the hosts argue was a socialist measure that diverted attention from President Trump's rural health transformation initiative. Senator Magrum proposed an alternative amendment that would have directed the same $65 million toward primary residence property tax credits instead, benefiting 60,000 homeowners. The legislators contend that no children are currently going hungry in North Dakota schools, as existing programs already provide free meals to families earning up to $84,000.
The discussion explores free market principles versus government intervention, with both legislators arguing that capitalism and limited government better serve citizens than socialist policies. They reference Milton Friedman's work and discuss how government subsidies have inflated housing costs and created monopolies. The conversation also touches on spiritual warfare, personal responsibility, and the connection between Christian values and conservative political philosophy, emphasizing that the Ten Commandments align with free market capitalism and private property rights.
