Hey, good morning. I'm Playboy Co-author Eugene Daniels. It is Monday, March 11th. Here's what's driving the day.

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst who says she is running for Senate Republican Conference Chair. Now,

that was set up a blockbuster race in the fall against Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, who has
