Summary
NC Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey shares his life story, from his early days as an insurance man to his political career that took several attempts before finally winning the office he now holds.
But the most remarkable chapter in his journey came when the Guilford County Republican agreed to wear a wire for the FBI — helping expose corruption at the highest levels of state politics.
Plus, Brian and Skye break down the week’s news: a court case reaches resolution (for now), Charlotte reels from tragedy, Sen. Budd plays hardball, and #TOTW makes its return. Brian reports back from a Brooklyn visit, while Skye celebrates a big birthday and a full football weekend.
