	Sir Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
	Alright, news roundup information overload hour.
	We'll get to your calls uh throughout this hour 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
	Um we just went over all of the the media figures trying to say that in spite of all the officers in the case in Memphis being black that it has something to do with race over at that hard-hitting news show, The View, Whoopi Goldberg said the following.
	But you know, when will the brutality finally lead to some police reform from the ground up?
	Because clearly, it doesn't matter if it's a white policeman or a black policeman, it is a problem in the police and the policing itself.
	You know, seems things don't seem to make sense to people unless it's somebody they can feel or they can recognize.
	But how many times do we have to see do we need to see white people also get beaten before anybody will do anything?
	I'm not suggesting that.
	So don't write us and tell me what a you know what a racist I am.
	I'm just asking, is that is that what people have to see in order to wake up and realize this affects us all?
	There have been plenty of people of all races that have had horrible experiences and and and yes, even been attacked by officers or maybe obviously not as similar in this case, you know, Tyree Nichols is dead.
	Very different case.
	Then you got over at MSDNC, you know, they're tired of uh this guy, what's his name?
	Media San.
	Is that what is that the guy's name?
	He's a host.
	Okay.
	You can see how much MSDNC I watch.
	Uh anyway, tired of Democrats running away from abolishing defunding the police and of course the insanity of no bail laws.
	If police departments are targeting black communities, and you are part of the police, you are going to be targeting black communities, regardless of your own skin color.
	The issue here is plenty of people have pointed out, is not black versus white, it's blue versus the rest of us.
	Which is why this whole reform nonsense from Democrats is so tiring and so dishonest.
	You can't reform this stuff with body cameras or diversifying the police as we just saw in Memphis.
	That doesn't solve the problem either.
	Now Democrats, of course, want to run away from talk of abolishing the police or even defunding the police.
	That's way too radical, way too out there.
	But consider this.
	The Memphis Police Department's response to all this controversy and camera footage on Saturday was to announce that it was disbanding the specialized police unit whose offices inflicted that brutal assault on Tyree Nichols.
	The so-called scorpion unit.
	Yeah, they defunded and abolished it.
	Not sure if they defunded anything.
	They abolished that particular unit.
	Clearly, these guys are not up to the task to be part of an elite law enforcement unit.
	It's just it's it's really that simple.
	It's not that complicated.
	Anyway, 800-941 Sean, a part of if you want to be a part of our program.
	Uh anyway, let's get to some of your calls here.
	I know a lot of you have been very patient throughout the day.
	Sharon in Texas, let's go to you.
	Sharon, how are you?
	Hi, Sean.
	Um, hello.
	Um, I wanted to comment on the Paul Pelosi's call to the 911 dispatcher.
	Yeah.
	That was big in the news all last week.
	And I believe that that dispatcher did a very good job.
	She got some criticism, but you have to look at the point that she slow talked with Paul, and I think she tried to keep him on the phone.
	That's just my read on it.
	And but the t and the police were there within two minutes, so I'm surmising that the police were on their way while she was talking with him.
	And and I'd like to give her credit for for handling it well.
	And I'd also like to say I talked it over with my brother, and he had a really good point.
	He said the focus should be really more on uh the security system at the Pelosi House.
	How did that guy get in there?
	And it's in we can if we put it parallel to the security at the Capitol House, you could say Nancy Pelosi's house was not in order either at the Capitol and uh January sixth, two thousand and twenty-one, and it wasn't in order in her own house in San Francisco.
	So I think the whole thing rolls over to her for the responsibility of lack of security.
	That guy with the hammer never should have gotten in that house.
	Oh, I can't understand.
	she's second in line to be president if god forbid something happens to the president or vice president or she was the speaker is and at that point there's a reason she had access to a government private jet for every trip she made back to san francisco it was because she's the speaker and for security purposes if there's a national emergency and the president and vice president you know somehow are together and something god forbid happened to both of them uh
	or any administration for that matter then that person would be the speaker you've got to protect their homes and it's got to be more than just cameras that they're supposed to be observing on a regular basis you know you got this lunatic wailing with a hammer on their back door and as far as the the 9-1-1 operator you know you got to put a little perspective into this because a lot of nuts are calling 9-1-1 regularly so you know she's not sure what she's dealing with on on any
	given call and paul pelosi didn't have the ability to just come right out and say my life is in danger please get to blah blah blah broadway and and i have an intruder in my house with a hammer that wants to kill me because the guy was right next to him dictating what he could and couldn't say but he dropped enough hints and he stayed on the phone and she stayed on the phone long enough that she figured out something isn't kosher here and at that point you know she made the right call and probably saved his life.
	Right.
	And and the but the responsibility for security goes to Nancy Pelosi.
	And it's whether it's her house.
	Well, it doesn't go to her, it goes to I I think Congress in general.
	And and this was the shame in my view of the January sixth committee.
	This was the shame of ignoring the five hundred and seventy-four riots in the summer of twenty twenty is when we're not making any changes.
	They wanted their pound of flesh on Donald Trump.
	That's all they cared about with January 6th.
	But what they should have done and would have been wiser if all right, they they had that aspect of it, but then they needed to ask questions what intelligence was out there and available to them that was ignored in the lead up to January sixth, because apparently a lot of groups have been planning, you know, some type of violent activity on the sixth for for weeks leading up to it, and we didn't find that fact out till much later.
	You know, why didn't they bring in the sergeant of arms?
	Uh why didn't they bring in Nancy Pelosi who's in charge for security for the House of Representatives in the Capitol?
	Uh why didn't they bring in the Capitol Police Chief who requested National Guard troops numerous times?
	Why didn't the but they bring in Mayor Bowser and say, Well, why were you rejecting National Guard troops?
	Uh did you have any reason to believe at all that they had intelligence?
	Now I know for a fact that the Capitol Police Chief said originally that he didn't think they'd need the guard, but based on intelligence they had, he changed his mind and started to request the National Guard troops early.
	Nor have they figured out a solution moving forward to protect the Capitol for from the for from this ever happening again.
	As a matter of fact, they've made no changes at all that I can see whatsoever.
	And what they should have are cement barriers around the perimeter and probably brought iron fences that people can't get over, and and a whole perimeter whereby people would have a hard time getting through in big numbers.
	That's it.
	And a better system for calling in, you know, extra support should something happen.
	I'll give you the last word.
	On the station here in Houston, KTRH, we report here in Texas that Nancy Phelansi was in charge of securing the Capitol that day for saying January 6th.
	And she, when she was offered the security, she said no.
	Listen, I all I know is the Capitol Police Chief requested the security.
	That had to go through the sergeant of arms.
	That had to have been brought to Nancy's attention.
	The entire you know, Adam Kinziger's too b busy signing autograph copies of his report.
	So none of those questions.
	This was a missed opportunity to really create safety and security for an institution that deserves our protection.
	And they m they blew it.
	Sean, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
	What's going on, sir?
	Hey, how you doing, Mr. Hannity?
	I'm good.
	Um one thing I wanted to point out with this whole thing with Memphis and a lot of these other things that are going on.
	For one thing, we've fallen completely into a godless society.
	There is no thinking about any repercussions.
	Uh you got these you got these families that are basically broken to pieces that they don't teach their kids anything.
	I remember I grew up in New You know, Staten Island years ago.
	And, you know, when the police came up to you and they said, um, what's going on, boys?
	You had your hands where they could see them, and you listen to what they told you to do.
	And I remember back in the day, my brother saying you don't want to get into it with them because they could go around the corner with you in the car and you come back with a couple black guys.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like there was there was that kind of presence where you had that utmost respect for everyone doing their job because they didn't need to deal with punks and people that didn't want to listen to them.
	You know, and the same thing we see in our schools, the same exact thing.
	We rip God out, we're ripping all these things out, we're putting all this junk in there, and these kids are walking out of there going, What what do I do all day?
	You know, how do I think and how do I operate?
	Because I moved to North Carolina, I'm down in Mooresville, and I'll be honest with you, I'm in Iredale County.
	My sheriff is great.
	He went run for a second term, no competition against them because they know they can't mess with him.
	We went all red, we went all conservative across the board, and everybody in place, it's it's a it's you know you're protected on the streets because our police department is on it.
	You call them, they're at your house in two minutes, and they're not taking any monkey business with them.
	I mean, I've seen things I've seen them in action, and they're really good.
	And that's again, you know, it goes from the top level of training all the way down because I listen to Derek uh Darren Campbell, he's our sheriff, he has a he has a radio show during the day during the morning on Wednesday, and he goes through all these things that he goes through, and he said, he goes, when he walks through the jail, and he hears these other people that have been arrested, he hears them telling other people on the phone, whatever you do, do not come to Iredell County and commit crime.
	He goes, because they're gonna throw you in jail, they're gonna prosecute you, and you're not getting out to do more crime.
	So I mean, it does.
	It Ryan holds.
	Let me tell you something.
	If I was a criminal, I'm gonna be very blunt.
	I would go to one of these cities or towns or states with no bail laws.
	And again, if I've if that was my chosen profession, which it seems to be for other people, imagine if these criminals, by the way, devoted their their time, energy, and attention to something productive rather than living a life of crime.
	Um but if I was in that business and had that mindset, and I obviously don't, uh, the place I'd want to be is a place where they let you out of jail.
	I'll never forget there was a series of bank robberies by this one guy, and he kept getting arrested, and he kept getting put in jail, and he kept getting released, and he kept going back out, robbing another bank, getting caught again, yet again getting released with no bail, robbed another bank.
	I think he was up to five or six banks the last time I had checked.
	He's not very good at at being a crook.
	He might want to consider a job change.
	Yeah, well, that's the thing too, because when I listened to Mr. Campbell the other day, he said he goes, our biggest threat is Charlotte.
	He said he goes, Charlotte, it's the same way.
	They went woke, they they refused to pull people over now, and what it is is now we're getting the Charlotte crowd coming up here and trying to do bad things up at Hyradale.
	And it's, you know, like I said, I give these.
	Oh, it's a it's a common thing where poor criminals will often target more wealthy areas because it's more lucrative.
	Um, anyway, I've got to run.
	Good point, so Sean.
	You sounds like you have a great, great sheriff and police department there in North Carolina.
	I'm not surprised, lucky you.
	Uh, that's not the case for most Americans.
	Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
	And I'm Carol Markowitz.
	We've been in political media for a long time.
	Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.

	What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
	Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
	It's almost a dirty word.
	One that connotes conspiracy theory.
	Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
	Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
	We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
	You put two and two together.
	Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
	Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

	John Carey making America green, one Learjet liberal flight at a time.
	You just can't make this stuff up.
	Sean Hannity is on right now.
	Let's head back to our busy phones, 800-941 Sean.
	If you want to be a part of the program.
	Robert is in California.
	Robert, how are you?
	Hey Sean, how are you doing?
	I'm good.
	What's happening?
	No, no, no.
	So I gotta agree with your last callers.
	I mean the security at Pelosi's house at the very least is lacking.
	And then as far as the moral decay across the country, it's out of control.
	But the question I really had for you was that whole tape uh when the officers came to the door just doesn't quite set right with me.
	The fact that Pelosi had a drink in his hand, whether it be a cocktail or glass of water, I I don't know.
	Um I don't even remember the drink part.
	I don't almost full.
	Uh I am I have no idea, but I do know that once they open the door, he kind of grabbed the hand he did grab the hammer.
	Yeah, he's in this other guy's hand.
	And as soon as the police said to drop, hey, drop the hammer, he said no.
	And then he that's when the attack began.
	It was a a split second.
	It happened very quickly.
	So I wonder how much does do we know how long he was in the house?
	Yeah, apparently for the period of time, you know, before I guess we could have a timestamp on the surveillance footage of him beating the hell out of the door to break into the house.
	And on that video.
	That's yeah, it didn't make sense to me either.
	Was it 5 30?
	I thought it was like 2 a.m. there when that happened.
	Well, and in a way, he's held hostage.
	You got an armed guy, he's got a hammer, a hammer can kill you.
	And he's an older gentleman.
	It's not like he's pro I doubt he's in any kind of shape, and I doubt he has any ability to defend himself.
	But again, I would argue that any speaker of the house would need Capitol Police around their home on a full-time basis.
	You know, by the way, that goes with Supreme Court justices like Justice Kavanaugh, and why we don't enforce the laws on the books that prevent people from trying to influence judges by protesting in front of their homes or place of business.
	I don't know.
	And and that's a question from Eric Garland at some point.
	I'm so I don't really know the answer, but I do know that, you know, I it was clear he was trying would I have handled when the police showed up differently, yeah.
	I probably would have run out the door.
	Um am I gonna sit here and second guess the guy?
	No, he's probably out of his mind, scared out of his mind.
	He was a victim.
	I don't attack victims.
	And you know, he's frankly lucky to be alive considering the the extent of his injury.
	Uh anyway, 800 941 Sean on number.
	We'll get to more of your call straight ahead.
	We'll continue.
	Um, all right, let's get to our busy phones.
	By the way, a socialist teacher admitting, they'll love this, Linda, that she wants to abolish the police amid school curriculum battle with DeSantis down in Florida.
	Abolish the police.
	Let me ask these people.
	The liberals don't believe in the second amendment by and large.
	Conservatives do.
	So if you don't have a second amendment, you don't have the means what do you do when somebody, God forbid, breaks into your house?
	You don't have any means to defend yourself.
	So now you abolish the police.
	Okay, that takes away that option.
	What does that mean?
	That means that lawlessness will spiral out of control at a level we've never seen before.
	And and the Paul Pelosi incident will be an everyday incident because there'll be no consequences, and crime will start paying.
	She's gonna send out therapists, and they're gonna work with the criminal through their pain and suffering to understand why they want to kill her and invade her home, and then they're gonna work on it together.
	Let's play this out.
	So a social worker shows up at the house and says, Hi, Mr. Criminal with the hammer.
	May I come in and talk to you?
	Is that how that works?
	Exactly.
	Let's sit down and talk this out.
	So now instead of having one Hostage.
	He has two hostages.
	Correct.
	With his we let him keep his weapon.
	Keep your weapon.
	We don't want to take that from you.
	That's yours.
	Even though you're invading our home.
	This is the mindset, right?
	It truly is.
	Even when we were talking to Trey earlier, and you know, Trey's a friend, and I love him to pieces, and he's a good man, and he served over 20 years, you know, becoming, you know, the chief of police in Dallas and going through the terror attack of 2016.
	I think people forget, you know, what he was doing that day that that happened.
	He was guarding with his police force that that included many, many black officers, the Black Lives Matter March.
	And then there was this person that was a sniper on a rooftop shooting at them and trying to kill them.
	So the Black Lives Matter movement that was marching down the street and screaming about police and how they were being mistreated and the fact that they wanted to defund the police, then needed the police who protected them despite the fact that they had gone through the pelting and the rock throwing and the looting and all of the terrible things that happen.
	And I think that's my biggest problem with everything that we're talking about.
	Like I see this Nichols case, and all I hear is that man screaming for his mother, and I pray for his mother because she can't ever unhear that, right?
	It hurt it hurts so deeply if you have children, you understand exactly what I'm saying.
	It's just next level pain.
	So you're a mom, your son is what, seven years old now.
	I got four kids now, and the youngest is seven.
	Okay.
	The youngest is seven.
	Liam is seven.
	And the Surgeon General is saying 13 year olds are too young to join social media.
	Oh my god, a hundred percent.
	I can't even tell you.
	The social Sean, TikTok is the devil, okay?
	I'm telling you right now is the devil.
	It is the devil.
	I am not kidding you.
	Like, you know, Katie's laughing at me, but the stuff that is on your listening is laughing at you, but go ahead.
	It's silly, right?
	Like you look at it and you think it's like funny stuff, right?
	It's like they show dumb stuff, like people exploding like you know, soda bottles, and this guy can lift 300 pounds, and this girl can make you know 15, you know, cupcakes in 30 seconds, all these like ridiculous videos that make no sense.
	But then interspersed and all of that stuff is really uh salacious, evil stuff where they're trying to hurt our kids, whether it's about drugs, whether it's about gender identity, whether it's about the fact that they should work harder on the way they look like the this it's a very strange dichotomy in our s in our society right now because at the same time that we're telling our kids they can be whatever they want and look however they want and do whatever they want, they're like, but you don't look good enough.
	You're not thin enough, you're not you're not better in this way, you're not as pretty as this one, you're not as strong as that one.
	I mean, it's some messed up stuff out there getting in their heads.
	Uh see, I'm off of social media, so I'm not really the person to talk to.
	I it does become addicting, and for me it was becoming another job, and I'm not sure what I'm saying.
	But Sean, do you remember how many people were on there saying they wanted to kill you, kill your kids, burn your house down, right?
	Now imagine you're a teenager, somebody you don't know, that you've never met, that you know nothing about isn't so much.
	No, there are people that target kids on the internet.
	But I'm saying there's other kids.
	I saw you, you suck, you're this, you're so ugly, you should kill yourself.
	I mean, how many kids are committing suicide because some psycho on the internet told them to?
	You're raising great you're raising great questions.
	However, um, a lot of parents disagree with me.
	Like I I like Xbox and PlayStation for young kids if you get the right games.
	Oh, I agree with you.
	No, I agree with you.
	Liam loves those games.
	He plays worldwide wrestling, he plays soccer, he plays Madden, he loves all those games, and he has a blast, and he thinks they're super fun.
	However, he is only allowed to play them from Friday at 6 p.m. until Sunday at 5 p.m.
	He is not allowed to play them during the school week at all.
	He has no social media, he's not allowed to look at YouTube, he's not allowed to go on Facebook.
	I don't have to get a happy male, and he's not allowed to go.
	Oh no, it's nasty.
	McDonald's is gross.
	Sorry, McDonald's.
	No, I love McDonald's.
	I just think it I just think you depriving your child of what every other child in America has is ridiculous.
	You're you're taking everything to the on the McDonald's, maybe, but everything else I think I'm doing right.
	If I could take away computers and get these kids' heads out of their phones.
	I want to do a taste test with Liam, your air fried French fries versus McDonald's fries, and I'm telling you that McDonald's fries are gonna win hands down.
	I'll do you one better.
	I'll do a taste test with you.
	And I'm I'm telling you, um, that's right.
	You're stumbling because you know you're gonna like those air fries.
	That's right.
	I've had air fry french fries, they suck.
	You haven't had mine.
	I've had baked French fries, they suck too.
	Well, baked French fries stink.
	Nobody said that was good.
	Okay.
	So the ones I like are deep fried.
	Taste great.
	So do you want to take the challenge or not?
	Are you scared?
	If you're scared, you can just tell the audience.
	Nobody's gonna it's fine.
	I'm scared to death.
	Make sure to put two pounds of salt on those fries, by the way.
	Although it's the only thing that would save her fries, but yeah, you gotta put salt on fries to make them taste good.
	Did you watch a football game?
	Yeah, I watched both games.
	What'd you think?
	I thought they were both I expected better in both games.
	How did you feel about the Empire State building being lit up green for the Phillips?
	That wasn't good.
	People freaked out.
	That wasn't good.
	That is one of the worst things I've ever seen.
	This is New York.
	We don't we don't credit Philadelphia when they win in sports.
	Didn't they do that for another team?
	I think it's hilarious that everybody gives a rip.
	I just don't care because New York teams, although the Giants and the new quarterback Jones has done a pretty good job this year.
	Um shows a lot of promise.
	We'll we'll find out more next year.
	Uh however, I've I did hate the officiating in the Cincinnati game against the Kansas City in the fourth quarter in particular.
	It seemed to me like if the officials uh were in the bag to get uh Kansas City back in the in the Super Bowl, and I thought the officiating was atrocious.
	Yeah, it's becoming a problem.
	It's it was a good one.
	Katie had a lot to say about that.
	It's becoming a problem for years now.
	There's too many rules, and the game's going too fast for these guys.
	Well, I just I just look at it and I'm like, okay, are they paying you?
	You may did you make a bet on this game?
	I'm I don't mean I'm saying this facetiously, but it was I thought it was atrocious.
	And I felt like it was very anti Cincinnati.
	I'll tell you one thing.
	There was a lot of hooting and hollering in my house because the Eagles, they were beautiful and they won and they're going to the Super Bowl.
	I'm wearing green today in honor of the Eagles, and uh it's a wonderful one.
	I still don't even know what cross the plane means, so I don't want to hear that you're gonna be.
	Really?
	Is that what it is?
	You sure about that?
	That's it.
	I'm getting a lot of yeses.
	I don't know.
	Katie's doing some sort of weird, I don't know.
	What are you doing?
	She's trying to give me hand signals.
	I'm like, what is that?
	All right, Katie, stop trying to help her out.
	Katie, did you agree with me?
	The officiating in that Cincinnati game sucked.
	I thought it was awful.
	It was pretty bad.
	It was questionable for sure.
	Yeah.
	I was confused.
	Um I got you know what?
	Mahomes is I mean, he's incredible.
	Give Mahomes credit for you know, especially on last play.
	He's playing hurt, man.
	Come on.
	Okay, had an upper ankle sprain.
	Tough that he got back in the in the state in for the whole game.
	Last play that he ran, and then they had the 15-yard penalty.
	I thought was BS.
	What?
	BS.
	Uh how do you figure that?
	That he shoved Mahomes out of bounds.
	He was like two yards out of bounds.
	Come on.
	That's easy.
	Of all of the calls that they made in that last quarter, that was the only one that had some legitimacy.
	The other calls that went against uh against the Bengals were BS to me.
	Yeah, they they still overcame them.
	I mean, the you know the fact is uh Burrow turned the ball over twice in the fourth quarter with a chance to give his team a lead.
	And Chris Jones wrecked the game for the for the Bengals.
	He was the he was the real MVP of that game.
	It wasn't Mahomes because Chris Jones, if he doesn't ruin the Bengal offense the whole game.
	I'm just not that interested in the Chiefs versus the Eagles.
	It doesn't do that much.
	Well, it's the Andy Reed Bowl.
	Well, we'll see.
	I guess they're not calling calling it uh what is it, Burrowhead Stadium anymore.
	You know what?
	I have a great idea.
	When the Eagles win the Super Bowl, I think we should all sit down and share some air fried French fries that I will bring into the office and we can celebrate together.
	I won't be eating that day.
	I won't be eating that day either.
	Everyone's gonna be full that day Big Breakfast.
	No, it's the Eagles winner, so it just makes me sick.
	Oh, yeah, Jason doesn't like that.
	Don't make anybody unless I win money.
	Are you gonna bet?
	Oh, I'll have one.
	I'll do a Super Bowl pool.
	I'll I'll I'll I'll probably put a hundred dollars on the Eagles.
	I think the Eagles will win by double digits, and it sickens me to say that, but I think they were gonna win again.
	It just it's like anticlimatic to the season, in my view.
	I thought that was a good one.
	Why is it anticlimatic?
	Two teams were butt off and they got there.
	Well, who did you want?
	Anybody but them.
	Um the Eagles?
	I definitely wanted Cincinnati on the AFC side.
	On the NFC side, I think I would have preferred Dallas.
	The best Super Bowl would have been Minnesota Buffalo.
	Two teams who are owing to the bottom.
	I am a fan of Josh Allen, so I'll give you that.
	Yeah, but that would have been great to have two Owen Force to the street.
	Listen, I admire Mahomes again.
	I think he's great, but I but I also think Burroughs is a star too.
	Oh yeah, people think he's a little too cocky, and he's very cocky.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	I think he had to be kind of a good one.
	All he does is sit there and be quiet when when he's No, no, no, no, no.
	After every win, you should see him.
	He's got a big old stogie in his mouth every time he wins a playoff game.
	So what?
	Oh, so what?
	Do you do you know what he says?
	And I I and I kind of like it.
	I mean, let me let me tell you what happens at the end of any big game, playoff game.
	Uh you start interviewing the guy, and he's like, you know, this is what it's all about.
	We all came together and and and we knew we could do this.
	This team is, you know, this is a dream come true.
	And and and this tro this is what it's all about right here.
	This is it.
	I'm like, they all say the same thing.
	Yeah, you need to be knocked down a peg, though, because he's he's he if he had won the game, he would have been the successor to the Mahomes throne, and he hasn't won a championship yet.
	You gotta get some jewelry before you start, before you start anointing, being anointed is better than the other.
	The only thing this the only thing the Eagles have to watch out for is the games that they did lose this year, they played awful.
	So they have the potential to really play poorly.
	Well, they only won one game with Hertz.
	The other two they lost with Minchu.
	That's true.
	The one problem they do have to worry about is their quarterback is injured.
	That's correct.
	There's something wrong with his shoulder, and it hasn't it hasn't been a problem, but uh it could be a problem if the fourth quarter.
	Well, but remember, he's got two weeks now to heal as Mahomes does, and I would assume is you know, his high ankle sprain is gonna be better by them.
	What do I know?
	Yeah, I mean, he's he he they rested him for a few weeks, and he had a week off, and he's still not right.
	So I don't know if he's gonna be right.
	Oh, Mahomes?
	No, uh Hertz.
	Well, still played well enough to win pretty easily.
	Yeah, he's not through he's not throwing the ball well.
	He can run it, but he's not throwing it, I'm telling you.
	No, the Eagles are going to win.
	Name five people on the team.
	Go.
	One, two, three.
	Number one.
	Number I don't know their names.
	I have no idea.
	You don't.
	Oh my god.
	I don't have a clue.
	I just like that they're from Philly and my parents love them.
	That's all.
	Oh.
	Yeah, I'd be careful walking around the streets of Philly when they win, too.
	Probably couldn't.
	I'd be careful walking around the streets of Philly now.
	It doesn't matter what the one they play.
	The street the city's a hot mess.
	All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
