Happy Friday from Washington, which Vice President Mike Pence left behind yesterday for a trip to Iowa to help Heritage Action take on the left with a  new grassroots campaign called Fight for America. Rachel del Guidice and Fred Lucas report. On the podcast, four education watchers alert parents to a radical expansion of sex ed in public schools.
