The Dispatch podcast is presented by Pacific Legal Foundation, suing the government since

1973.

Welcome to the dispatch podcast. I'm Steve Hayes. On today's roundtable, we'll discuss

the newly announced investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

We'll also look back at the Minnesota shooting, discuss the Iran protests, and not worth your time,

spend a moment on the national championship for college football.

Stick around for my discussion with Valerie Pavlona, our ideas editor, about the launch of
