Summary

Iowa, in recent years, has proven to not be predictive of the eventual Republican nominee, however, the state continues to hold a unique role in sizing up the presidential field. Former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis both travelled to Iowa this past week to ramp up support in the key early-voting state. Trump has continued to dominate the polls and many consider Governor DeSantis to be his most fierce competitor. President of KAConsulting LLC, Fox News Contributor and former campaign manager and Senior Counselor to President Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway joins the podcast for a discussion about the DeSantis's campaign strategies, why Trump continues to poll very high, and why voters are sick of hearing about 2020. On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal labor law did not protect unionized employees of a concrete mixing and pouring company from liability for damages they caused during a strike. The employer argued that they suffered substantial monetary losses due to abandoned, wet concrete becoming unusable. Law Professor at the University of California at Berkeley, Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General and author of the Book The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Supreme Court, John Yoo, joins the podcast to break down the details of the case, explain why Supreme Court narrowed the protections of the Clean Water Act, and preview the two affirmative action cases many are anxiously awaiting the high court to rule on before the end of its term.

0:26.2	with many contingencies and lots of practice.
0:29.3	I'm Kevin Kork. Few could have anticipated the depth to which former president Donald Trump
0:35.4	has shaped American jurisprudence, especially at the Supreme Court, where increasingly the power
0:41.3	of the government is being challenged.
0:43.9	Chief Justice Robert Salido, and I think Justice Thomas is the real leader in this area,
0:48.7	is trying to rewrite the balance between the federal government and the state government,
0:53.5	and narrow the federal government's involvement in all of our lives.
0:57.5	This is the Fox News rundown from Washington.
1:09.9	This week, Fox News confirmed former Vice President Mike Pence plans to run for president and

1:32.3	I think within six months you're going to see a major, a major part of the comeback.
