all right. that is a john heilemann commercial. i have nothing to do with it. letterman retires, you filled the void. i was looking for worldwide pants. blam bloomberg pants. forget the smothers brothers we have john heilemann. is that a compliment? yeah. i like when you see numb nuts. i know. it just crawls right past. gale was funny. yeah. can you actually go on youtube and find the numb nuts thing. gale is an original track way back. golden oldie. yeah. so chuck todd is here as well. we have new polls to talk to them about. in iowa donald trump shoots up to second place with 10%. this is a poll tied with ben carson wisconsin governor scott walker still with a big lead
