Hello, everyone and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I am your host, Mary Catherine Ham.

I am here with my co-host, Vicick Mattis of the Washington Free Beacon.

It is Caucus Week, heading into New Hampshire Primary Week.

Here we are in 2024.

We made it, guys.

On one hand, we're finally voting.

On the other hand, we're finally voting.

So we're going to get into some primary thoughts. But before we

start that, how are you doing, Beck? Hello, Mary Catherine. I think it's snowing everywhere,

isn't it? It's snowing in Iowa. It snowed here in the D.C. area. And it's snowing up by you.

Yes. So I'm in New York because I was part of NBC's broadcast last night of the Iowa caucus coverage.

And I'm at the Hard Rock Hotel, which is right near the studio, which is great because it was cold.

I'm not fit for that Iowa weather, by the way.

I could not have sustained there.

I'm just going to admit it. I'm not, I'm not, I can't do it.

Iowa, Iowa, Iowa in early summer is lovely. I'll say that from experience. Well, actually, the caucus, as I'm

sure everybody has heard at this point, the caucus was the coldest on record. The first caucus ever in early

70s was near these temperatures,

but not quite these temperatures. At any rate, still like a generous number of people, not

not 2016 or 2020 levels, but I think it was about 122 to 130K people came out. So good on

you, Iowans. But I'm here in New York. It's normal for them.
