Ahead of the Iowa caucuses, Bill and Matt discuss the state of the GOP primary race, including this week's primary debate. Can Nikki Haley win New Hamsphire, and will that even matter? Next, they discuss Speaker Mike Johnson's attempts to avoid a government shutdown, and whether Joe Biden is capable of driving a positive message.

Mike Johnson has been elected Speaker of the House. Just before the vote, Matt and Bill talked about his chances. They also discussed Democrats' decision to help defeat former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and whether this is part of a risky strategy to elevate MAGA. Lastly, are the walls finally closing in on Donald Trump as his close confidants plead guilty? We report, you decide.
