Just as the founding fathers gathered in taverns to enjoy lively political conversation over a local brew, so do columnists and reporters from The Gazette and Iowa Public Radio.

On this edition of "Pints and Politics," recorded before a live audience at the Amana Millstream Brewing Company, co-hosts Ben Kieffer of River to River and Gazette investigative reporter, Erin Jordan, talk politics with columnists Lynda Waddington and Todd Dorman, as well as political reporter James Lynch of The Gazette. 

They discuss President Donald Trump’s struggle to make good on campaign promises with a Republican-controlled Congress, look at the first few weeks under new Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, and talk about the new state laws going into effect July 1st.
