Hello everyone and welcome to At Barrens. I'm Andy Serwer and welcome to our guest, Speaker Paul Ryan.

Speaker Ryan, great to see you. Thanks for joining us.

Hey, nice to be with you, Andy. Thanks for having me.

So we just had the Iowa primaries. We're on to New Hampshire, but this whole thing is a lock, right?

I mean, it's, you know, who's going to come in

second by how much? Is it too early to talk about? Who's going to be vice president? You know a little

bit about that? First, as an extra neighbor to Iowans, it's the caucus. They hate it when you say

it's primary, so just, just doing it. The Iwinds is solid there. Hawkeyes, sorry.

No, just what Steve Schwartzman said.

First of all, totally came in as predicted.

He's right.

The pollsters predicted this.

I still think we've got a few more plays to play out here.

Nikki is, in my opinion, the best chance at beating Trump in the primary. She's still still no I wouldn't say likely but plausible is the way I would I would I wouldn't say likely I'd say Trump's the likely nominee

but Nikki Haley I think has a plausible path Ron could be a spoiler he's's going to probably, you know, skip New Hampshire

and go to South Carolina and, you know, add some drama to that one. But I think I would be,

what they're trying to do is make this inevitability narrative that he got it. It's, it was,

you know, 30 point margin. It's done. It was 115,000 people

in a snowstorm, you know. So you've got a lot more coming through this. So I think Nikki is

basically tied in the polls. Once Ron, once Christy jumped out, excuse me, once Christy jumped out, his 12 points basically gravitated

to Nikki Haley and put her in competition with Trump in New Hampshire.

So let's see this thing play out.
