Nick, I am back home after surviving Iowa.

It was rough, man.

As I said to you before I started recording, it was negative 20 on Sunday morning.

Nick Houseman would not have made it. I would not have made it. If you had to wait more than a few minutes outside in that weather for anything, I would have had to have have had to have not, not been there anymore.

Nick, I was wearing, I, I can't remember if I put this in my special coverage.

I was wearing, uh, long underwear, top to bottom.

I was wearing like fleece lined, uh, mountain climbing pants.

I was wearing, you know, a couple pairs of socks, boots. I was wearing a thermal on top of that. I was wearing a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, a flannel. On top of that, a heavy, heavy coat, a hat, a hood. I wrapped a scarf around my head. It still was not enough for those people who wanted to know just how cold Iowa was this weekend. Well, that reminds me.

I went to the two Bears games in 1985 in December, the NSC title game and the game before that.

Similar conditions, you know, two and a three hours straight. And I'm still cold from that.

So I said, oh my God. Well, guys, I got to tell you, we're reporting right now. We're recording this on Monday,

January 15th. It's all done, but the singing and crying. We're still trying to find out if

Nikki Haley or Rhonda Sanchez is going to come in second. I'll let you know what I've heard,

what people are telling me. But Donald Trump, as predicted, is going to come in second. I'll let you know what I've heard and what people are telling me.

But Donald Trump, as predicted, is going to walk away with the Iowa caucus. It looks like now that he probably will get over 50%. Congratulations, Nick. You did predict that. There's a lot to talk

about from these results, from what I saw on the ground in Iowa.
