It's how my listeners secure their internet, join them at ExpressVPN.com slash Ben. We will get to the Kobe Bryant stuff a little bit later on in the show. If you grew up in Los Angeles,

it's a devastating day for you because the fact is that Kobe Bryant was such a part of everybody's life.

I'm from Los Angeles. It's obviously a tragic,

tragic incident. The fact that his daughter was on the helicopter is just unthinkable.

We'll get to that a little bit later on in the show. We'll pay tribute to Kobe will talk about

what he meant to the city of Los Angeles to basketball in general. Really bad stuff happening

over the weekend. We begin, however, with the update on your polls going

into Iowa. So we are now, what, 10 days out of Iowa? We are very, very close to the Iowa caucuses.

And right now, it appears that Bernie Sanders has grabbed the upper hand in those Iowa caucuses.

The current polling has Bernie up a substantial percentage in Iowa. There are three polls out. They are sort of all over

the place. Emerson has Sanders up nine in Iowa. Suffolk has Joe Biden up six in Iowa. New York Times

has burning Sanders up seven in Iowa. So one of those polls are going to have to be wrong.

Sanders does have the momentum.
