  • Summary

  • Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks share their favorite Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes and discuss lots of news from a busy week in Iowa politics, starting with Iowa angles on President Donald Trump's return to the White House. They dug into the many policies Governor Kim Reynolds is asking Iowa legislators to enact this year, some items on her wish list that didn't make it into her big speech, and what the Iowa Judicial Branch and Iowa National Guard want lawmakers to pass. Other topics covered: State Senator Mike Bousselot wants Iowa to buy the souther tier of Minnesota counties, Senator Joni Ernst backs secretary of defense nominee Pete Hegseth, Representative Zach Nunn wants strings attached to California disaster aid, Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks joins the DOGE caucus, Ernst creates an Inspector General caucus, and Senator Chuck Grassley's role in publicizing bribery allegations that former FBI informant now admits to making up.
