[laughter] florida georgia line? pete: is a.j. brown playing? i was just thinking of the philadelphia eagles. will: i was thinking about something else. sorry, were you talking to me? [laughter] pete: i don't care about the answer anyway, because my team's out. will: you know, rachel, what we had in texas this week was my least favorite weather. rachel: what was it? if. will: you know what it is, we talked about it. rachel: hail! pete: does anyone love hail? rachel: nobody hates hail as much as will cain. will: can i just give you the scenario? the reason is obvious, because your cars are destroyed, right? then you get into the insurance -- pete: insurance agents hate hail more than you do. will: probably. but i'm so good at paperwork,

i'd just rather remain the same. [laughter] got a new car this week. drove it home. hail the first night! rachel: really? pete: do you have a garage? will: not. i mean, i have a garage, but it's an older house, so the garage isn't big new. so it's out there in the hail. and i'm up there in the middle of the night -- rachel: freaking out. will: i'm outside looking at the hail how big it is, hard it is -- luckily, it was soft and pea e-sized, and it did not damage the daughter cars but, boy, it sounded like it was just raining -- pete: could you see will going outside and just pacing around? [laughter] this is getting bigger. it's getting bigger! rachel: if you told me the story, i was thinking about sean. it's not hail, it's wood perks. so sean used -- woodpeckers. sean used to have a tree, he had a tree-liming tree put into our backyard when we lived in wisconsin -- [laughter] and he would hear --

will: working on his tree? rachel: which, of course, would compromise the strength of the tree. and he would get up there and yell at the tree and try try to get that the -- pete: why didn't he get a bb gun or a -- rachel: that's another story, they're endangered species. will: oh, really? you can't take out a woodpecker? rachel: he tried to scare it with a -- [inaudible conversations] [laughter] rachel: he didn't hit it, but he did scare it away with a bb gun. pete: you can just be honest now. he shot an endangered species, but it was many years ago, way past the statute of limitations, it's all fine. we're glad you're here. la. [laughter] rachel: you better stop right now. pete: but i'm right. rachel: all right. anyway, a we've -- that's what i thought about. will: we all have our things. pete: glad your car's all right. some fan any new ev you got? will: no, thank you.

ford expedition. big with old gas does canler. rachel: like a good texas man. pete: for sure. let's go to our top stories. the u.s. launching a new round of retaliatory strikes against iranian-backed houthi rebellings in yemen oversight r -- rebels overnight. rachel: using tomahawk land attack missills. the latest strike comes just one day after the u.s. partnered with the u.k. to carry out dozens of strikes on houthi-controlled areas across yemen. will: the houthis, however, launched a ballistic missile towards the international shipping lanes. in total the houthis have now attacked 29 ships in the region over the last 2 months. let's bring in kt mcfarland, former deputy national security is adviser, to talk about this growing problem, kt, there in the red sea. >> yeah. and it's so frustrating to watch this because in the trump administration iran wasn't doing this through its proxies.

iran didn't have the money to because oil prices were low because we had sanctions on iranian oil. we had put the houthis on the terrorist watch list, for example, so there was no way these countries and their proxies could attack the united states. and now we're seeing with the reversal of those policies that's exactly what they're doing. pete: and these strikes, the white house made a big deal about the volume of strikes, but now we're learning mostly empty facilities, almost no casualties. it didn't -- it clearly hasn't impose perioded their ability -- impeded their ability to continue to launch missiles, so what was the signal supposed to be? >> all it does is reinforce that notion of weakness -- there were so many attacks in iraq and syria after the attacks and we didn't do anything. pretended it wasn't happening. and then the houthis started lobbing missiles at american vessels, and it's hard to near that a. we have programmer the defense.

we never went to the source of the missile, and that's what supposedly the biden administration if attacked two nights tag, go to those sources. but somehow or other the leader, we never got any of the leaders. those places where are empty. so is it almost reinforces the notion of weakness. the problem here now is the biden biden administration's approach towards lan is, well, we'll placate, we'll appease, we'll have peace in the middle east, they won't unleash their proxy sayses against us. it only encourages aggression because these attacks are more frequent, greater intensity, and at some point they're going to sink an american ship. at some point we're not going to be completely successful in perimeter defense. so that that, in fact, would put us in a war we don't want, we're not prepared to fight, which could have been avoided. i think we've got to coming back. let's go after their senior leadership. president trump understood that. when we took out the leader of all the iranian proxy forces, sa

a chem soleimani, we didn't hear from iran for a good year or two after that, but now we're hearing from them every day. rachel: you know, kt, this is happening in a vacuum. we just have -- we just reported on the election in taiwan, the pro-sovereignty for taiwan party won, that caught won. but i'm looking at china, and i'm going, if i'm china, i want to do something before the next election if i'm going to make a move in taiwan or any other place. is that something that concerns you? >> yeah. you know, it does not happen in a vacuum. starting with afghanistan, we've seen time after time the regional powers whether it's iran, whether it's russia, china, they're all trying to expand. they're all taking advantage of the united states' weakness. so if you're the leader of china and your goal is to take taiwan one way or another, you're looking at the united states, well, distracted by the election, distracted by whatever's going on in the middle east, distracted by

ukraine. that's when you make your move, you know? this is like sharks sensing blood in the water. and if they think the united states is weak and distracted, that's when they make their move. rachel: yeah. and overextended. all great points. pete: kt, thank you very much for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: all right. from the red sea and the suez canal to iowa because that, it will be the center of the political universe if two -- in two nights when the caucuses kick off there. as rick has been reporting all morning long, the weather's going sideways. it's going to be really, really cold even for iowa with snowstorms, and that means donald trump's canceled a few events, nikki haley's moved all of her events online, desantis' events postponed. that doesn't mean they're still not making their final pitches to voters. here's a portion of what some of the candidates have been saying about caucusing on monday night. watch. >> i know caucus is going to be cold. i know it's going to be frigid

weather and that we're going to break every record that's ever been on caucus night. so stay safe, layer up, bring your id when you come to the caucus site. finish and make a difference. >> i do feel that we're in a situation where our folks are going to show up. we've got every precinct organized, every county organized. and that's going to pay dividends. >> one way or the other i'm getting there. you have the worse weather, i guess, in recorded history, but maybe that's good because our people are more committed than anybody else. we're going to do something that's really special. we're going to start with you, and then we're going to turn our country around, and it's going to be amazing. pete: it's going to come town the enthusiasm, whose voters are really enthusiastic to go out -- will: the answer seems to be, clearly, donald trump. right now he has almost a 34-point lead. that puts him in historical context when it comes to margins of victory in iowa. a take a look at the largest margins of victory throughout recent election history, the largest would be bob dole in

1988. george w. bush had 10%, bob dole had 12.8%. donald trump's lead right now in iowa is 34 if percentage points over nikki haley. rachel: yeah. you've got to be really enthusiastic to want to leave the house in those kinds of temperatures and and weather conditions. and that is a huge fact if to have. a lot of people don't really understand the whole caucus system. pete, you're going to be there. you've also been part of a caucus before. pete: it's a lot more intimate finish first of all, there's no mail-in, no absentee, you have to be there in person. so who's there is all that matters, so it's why organization so so important. the one caucus i was part of, and they've changed the iowa process, you would identify who you were voting for, and you might negotiate and try to -- if one candidate's out, you go to another candidate. my if understanding in the iowa caucuses is you really just go into ab auditorium, hear a few speech, cast your vote, the winner uploaded into the system and we should know pretty soon.

but you're there with everybody hearing these speeches. by the way, quick plug, fox nation's going to be there actually in iowa city at the -- rachel: you're embedded. pete: we're going to be inside if the caucus, myself, tom bevan, charlie hurt and a couple of iowa act cysts just to give you an on the ground feel realtime, check us out just two days away. the polls have been real static with donald trump ahead, and something very dramatic would have to happen for that to change, but pay attention to if haley and desantis swap places, if haley's second and desantis is third, that's really bad for desantis -- will: because he's skipping new hampshire. pete: which means he would have two straight losses, and vivek has to overperform to get a little bit of momentum. it all still might be a whole bunch of nothing because if donald trump gets over 50% -- rachel: so last week our own bret baier and martha

maccallum had a town hall with donald trump where a lot of people were impressed with his command of the stage and the issues. he sort of reminded everyone that he's still, you know, that guy, right? he hasn't missed a step, at least that's what it looked like to me and many other people. take a look at joe biden this week in pennsylvania. just the opposite of that kind of performance. watch. >> my name's joe biden -- [inaudible] [laughter] [inaudible conversations] >> this is morgan sherman and sam -- [inaudible] they're our team members here. will: yeah. i -- pete: it's the look in the eye, it's the emptynd behind the eyes. will: yeah, i mean, honestly, that is so damning. that is so bad that i almost want to reel back the other way

and go, okay, are they low lights, is it always like that? selective choices of moments. i -- but it's -- what i'm telling you is that should be enough. do you see what i'm saying? hike, for the american people to see the commander in chief is not whatever adjective we want to use, right? like, just not on top -- rachel: and yet this week his wife was out there selling that he can do this. and it's like, i'm sorry, i know i keep coming back to this guys -- will: can i just finish one thought? rachel: yeah, sure. will: i'm trying to be fair. rachel: i know. >> will: there's just so many of them, and they are accumulating to an extent where it should be obvious -- rachel: to his wife who keeps promoting and telling us what we're seeing is not true. he gets up every morning and he's working hard and he's doin. pete: they might be -- they're not low lights because of how infrequently we see the guy. and then went -- when we see the guy, you consistently see him in a state like that.

will: he had the presidential daily briefing today at 11:30, nothing before, nothing after. that was the presidential day. pete: yeah. which means you can either don't believe your lying eyes or joe biden who says he's running around like superman? which one is it? to your point about a donald can trump, held court for over an hour, was -- and, by the way, the ratings held the story, he he had 2 million more viewers than the other two -- rachel: well, they were on cnn. pete: well, there were two of them, and you'd think, the debate, kind of interesting. rachel: fair enough. pete: so host wandering around but also, you know, inflation's been a huge issue for everybody. and this is the year-over-year inflation rate, and the reason i bring that up is, okay, you can talk about the guy, but what about his policies? could he run on that? and that number might feel small year-over-year, but it's how it has amplified over time to the point where who did the segment on the wall earlier this morning with jackie deangelis?

will: it was me. glad it was memorable. pete: jackie did a nice job. you did so-so. it's amazing how much more expensive it is, and everyone feels it. will: if the economy's really good, they just don't know who to give credit. to watch. >> what specifically would you do this year to turn that around and make americans feel better about how the economy's doing? >> if you noticed, they're feeling much better about how the economy's doing. what we haven't done is letting them know exactly who got it changed. that's the part. that's what's happening. if you look at the consumer confidence measures, they're way up across the board. everybody's doing better, ask and they believe it. they know it. and they're just beginning to sink in. will: taking crept. that's the -- credit. that's the problem here. rachel: has the most infuriating answer. imagine being a family who's struggling to make ends meet right now, who goes to the grocery store. the only people who can afford to buy groceries are angry when they have to pay $9 for things

they were paying $2 or $3 for just a year ago, two years ago or under the trump economy. the number that struck me is when you had jackie deangelis on and no one can deny that if you're -- the average family is paid $11,000 more for things they bought urn the turn economy right now under the biden economy. that's real. that means my family gets to go on vacation or not. that means i can afford my rent or not. this is, this is existential for many people. and he just seems so dismissive that he shows no empathy, no compassion. he's, hike, come on, get with the -- like, come on, get with the program. that's not how people feel, and i think this is a very negative sign for him. pete: it's the oldest spin in washington. it's not that we're not doing it right, we're not communicating it well. and it's usually you're not doing it right. turning now to a few additional headlines in this 9:00 hour. two u.s. navy sailors are mussing at sea -- missing at sea

after lost while conducting operations off the coast of somalia last week according to u.s. cent-com. officials providing few details on the missing sailors as recovery efforts remain ongoing. an update will be given once they're done with the search. man. taiwan's president-elect taking the stage earlier after beating out his two opponents. finish the win secures a third presidential term for the incumbent party as voters oppose china's push to get him out of office after serving as taiwan's vice president. now, china has dubbed the winner here a separatist troublemaker after he has advocated for democracy for taiwan. doesn't want to be a part of china. china doesn't like that very much. the voters were with him. we'll see where it goes next. and now to football. the dallas cowboys will be honoring local law enforcement prior to if their playoff game tomorrow. deputies and officers from the

el paso county sheriff's office will have the honor of holding the american flag for the national anthem and opening ceremonies ahead of the kickoff. as for the game, tune in to fox tomorrow to catch will's cowboy withs take on the green bay packers in the first round of the playoffs, coverage -- will: here we go. pete: yeah, it's going to be puck or factor like five for you tomorrow. you're nervous. will: no, that's the problem, i'm nest because i'm confident. i'm 85% confident, and that a makes me nervous. you see what i'm saying? pete: i do. rachel: you think the cowboys are going to win, for sure? will: they should. rachel, they should. if they lose, i will be devastated for the first day of my show. [laughter] and, by the way, i have stephen a. a smith, and he'll rub a salt in the wounds if that happens -- rachel: is he a green bay packer fan? will: he's a cowboy hater. pete: the cowboys find a way to lose. will: not this time. pete: maybe not this time. rachel: i don't weigh in on

football much, but i am rooting for the packers tomorrow. i'm sorry about that. will: why? do you want to mention wisconsin? we haven't said it in a few -- has it been 30 minutes since you mentioned wisconsin? rachel: one of the biggest culture shocks i had when i moved to wisconsin was watching -- [laughter] when you go to mass on a game day, i remember watching, i'm, like, what's going on here? everyone's wearing packers' jerseys, shirts, jackets. will: there you go. rachel: they don't care if it's catholic mass or not. that's why i think you're going to lose, because there's a lot of catholics in green bay -- [laughter] and in wisconsin, and they're playing -- praying. pete: a lot of baptists down in texas, i feel like there's more of those than catholics in wisconsin. just saying. rachel: well, we'll see tomorrow i guess. [laughter] will: we will. rachel: coming up, biden rolling out the red carpet for a chinese communist who ran a secret police station -- pete: sounds right.

pete: a blue city in maine has a plan to house their influx of illegal immigrants. put them in rent-free, luxury apartments. while chicago puts homeless illegals in warming buses to shelter during coldwater. cold weather. here to discuss is andre smith from chicago and brent fuel from maine. gentlemen, thank you for being here. brent, let me start with you because on its face it seems just that much more egregious that in maine they're paying for and building luxury apartments that illegals can stay in for up to two years rent-free. just explain the priorities in maine. [laughter] >> well, pete, they've got their priorities wrong. first of all, it's good to be with you this morning. finish. pete: good to have you. >> this is part of governor

mills' initiative to attract and settle up to 75,000 new mainers over the next two years and, yes, you're right, she has offered illegal migrants up to two years of free rent and brand new apartments. brunswick, 60 new apartments have been built that cost $3.5 million to taxpayers, and they are exclusively for illegal migrants. and, you know, that's just -- with maine families already struggling with finances and the economy, this is just pouring salt in the wound. maine has over 4,000 homeless and over 25,000 low income mainers were on the waiting list for subsidized housing, some of them waiting up to seven years before they can get the same type of housing benefit. pete: so 30,000 citizens of maine who are waiting for this type of housing while illegals having out built for them in realtime. andre, how about chicago? give us a sense of how taxpayers, citizens in chicago are feeling about how the city

treats illegals vis-a-vis is, say is, homeless or others, homeless vets or or others in chicago. >> well, the are residents -- the residents of the city of chicago is very, feel left out. you know? they, they feel heart broken because for many years they paid in to a tax system that they've, that they believed in, and they see their hard-earned tax dollars going to illegal migrants. the mayor of chicago, brandon johnson, stated himself that chicago is dealing with a crisis. finish this language or term sanctuary city have caused a major disaster with no plan. you have migrants living now in buses with no water, no showers, no vaccinations. just yesterday you had 32 schools in chicago, public

schools with children in 'em, all the power went out. so our kids was in the public schools yesterday with no water, no heat, in the dark, no lights. this is a disaster. so we blame this on the mayor for allowing the sanctuary city and the migrants to come into chicago. so you welcomed them. montana president no doubt. powerful -- pete: no doubt. powerfully said. brent, did voters know they were seating for this with this -- voting for this with above? that we're going to be open season for illegals up to 75,000? >> no, pete. this has actually come as a surprise to many of us. and what i would also say is this policy is encouraging human smuggling at the northern border. we talk a lot about the open southern border. we have is -- the same thing in the if northern border. illegal crossings have surged over 200% in the boundary between canada and and maine.

pete: incredible. any sense, real quick, brent, that voters in chicago will wake up to this madness? >> well, let me tell you that the residents of chicago are frustrated, you know? they're really angry, they're mad, you know? and they believed and they was hopeful that when city counsel and this mayor was -- can city council and this mayor was voting on whether we can vote for sanctuary city, mayor brandon johnson took the rights away from the if resident cans of the city of chicago to be able to vote on whether they wanted chicago to be a sanctuary city or not. i believe in talking to residents in the city of chicago, some of them are even going red, you know? they're saying they're not if voting for the president. they can't wait to recall mayor brandon johnson, you know?

we have h.b. 3751 that went into effect january 1st. h.b. 3751 allows illegal migrants to be police officers in the city of chicago. pete: okay. why not? that's the logical extent of their thinking, right? sanctuary city, now they should be the cops as a well and let everybody in, let everybody vote, and you might as well not have a city in the first place and nobody plays taxes. sounds like a great plan. andre, brent, thank you both so much. coming up, a quarter million people waking up without power this morning as a massive storm moves across the u.s. and that system could impact turnout for monday's high stakes iowa caucuses. congresswoman ashley hinson joins us live from if iowa -- from iowa coming up next. ♪ when we had a significant health scare, we needed to act quickly. because we had christian healthcare ministries.

overnight tonight, pushing -40. colder air towards chicago, down towards st. louis, in fact, wind chill warnings across parts of texas right now. monday if you're headed out to caucus, take a look at these temperatures. these are actual air temperatures. not wind chill temperatures. it's going to be feeling much more like -20--30. will: we're having a discussion, -68's not a real number. rick: it is. will: you might as well have said negative a million. rick: i have been in -63. it was air temperature of -4r5, and you've got -- 45, and you've got a manner of seconds until stuff goes to -- will: isn't there terminal velocity? at some point -20 and -68 feel the same. rick: let me can ask you this, that's a 48-degree difference. pete: that's a big difference. right now it's 55 here in new york city, it's about 90 in -- will: i don't believe you. rick: it is.

will: that's why i think it's made-up numbers. pete: he said seconds. rick: you know what? you can believe whatever you want, will.

permitting, obviously, the roads are dicey, but i think i packed every single turtleneck i own. iowans are hearty people, and if most importantly, they're united in firing joe biden this year. rachel: i think about some of the most reliable voters are elderly voters. also if you have an ev car -- [laughter] not a good idea in these kind of temperatures either. yeah, or i think it's probably going to impact it. but what are you hearing on the ground? if i mean, who, who do you think, i mean, the polls show donald trump is the clear winner. do you expect any surprises? if that's the we question will asked to some iowa voters. they said no. what do you say? >> i think most people are firmly in their camps. that said, my campaign team was at an event earlier this week where they had a family of independent voters who was planning to change their voter registration and come out and caucus on monday and change it to republican. so i think there are still some people out there listening to these candidates making up their minds. i can't imagine what it must be like right now to run logistics

for if one of these campaigns and deal with this weather and figure out if you're trying to cancel an event for safety. a lot of these candidates have turned to virtual events which i think is great. hey, we've got to pivot, we've got to still reach voters and communicate. i'm thankful that they're out there making their final pitches. it's been great to know all these candidates here in iowa over the last year, and i think that the great thing about the caucuses is it's truly about authenticity, right? you get to know these candidates on a personal level and only in the caucus do you get to maybe have a beer with a candidate in your basement or play an arcade game with them at the iowa state fair and get to know them one-on-one. it's been a really fun experience over the last year to welcome all these candidates to iowa. pete: i bet vivek's playing video games. rachel: i bet that too. [laughter] pete: real quick, you are on the select committee on the ccp, and just on friday the secretary of state, antony blinken, they rolled out the red -- can fittingly, the red carpet, for

china's ark architect of its global scheme to kidnap and silence anti-communist dise dents. so the scent police stations in new york and other places, he was in charge of them. yet our secretary of state welcomes him openly. why? >> i wish i could say i'm surprised, you know? i hook at what happened with the biden administration rolling out that red carpet for president xi just a few months ago, a genocidal dictator, and they find it in their hearts to clean up the city of san francisco and welcome him with open armings. this gentleman should not have been welcomed off the tarmac, let alone to a fancy dinner at the state department. he is helping to support this regime, and let's be clear, this is a propaganda tour that is entirely designed to soften china's image here in the united states. you talk about that illegal police station that they've been able to prop up and literally go after what they perceive as dissidents. i think we need to be eyes wide open about holding them accountable for their human rights abuses, not rolling out the red carpet and treating them to fancy dinners.

rachel: it's super shocking. i mean, they were hunting down american chinese and chinese, you know, citizens who are living here who they consider dissidents and had a secret prayings, and -- police station, and we have a fancy reception for them. unbelievable. says a lot about our president and his relationship with china. >> absolutely. pete: thank you, congresswoman. will: thank you, congresswoman. >> stay safe. rachel: yeah, you too. you stay warm. will: i just got a note from our boss that i'm on assignment to -68 -- [laughter] by the way, i said no. have you seen the article that donald trump should annex ant arty ca if he's reelected? if interesting article. rachel: what's the reason? will: natural resources. drilling down a mile of ice, but it was comparing it versus, like, interplanetary exploration. rachel: that's probably easier -- will: i mean, minerals, oil and gas whatever's down there.

let's go take alaska, i'll lead the charge -- pete: i support that. will: you'll go with me. pete: i love it. 51 statements, let's go. it was going to be greenland, maybe it'll be there. by the way, michael jordan doesn't say no to his -- will: i just upped it, antarctica, i'm taking the south pole. rachel: no, no, no, you're going to north dakota. will: not as exciting. rachel: coming up, a rental car giant hitting the brakes on switching to electric vehicles. tell you why next. is a rate based on you, with allstate. because you know that just because it fits in the cupholder doesn't make it 'to-go'. and you know how to brake, without breaking everything. and you're definitely not doing -okay, i don't even know what this is, but you're definitely not doing that. with allstate you're connected to a rate based on you. (♪)

rachel: hitting where it hurts, the rental car giant announcing it will sell 20,000 of their electric vehicles making the switch back to gas citing higher than expected expenses. this after the white house previously praised the company. here to react is former epa chief of staff mandy. mandy, thanks for joining us this morning. americans don't want these cars, and it's really interesting to see how the rental cars, nobody even wants to rent 'em. >> no, you're exactly right. and we've known this for quite some time. when i was serving during the trump administration from '17-'20, we did something called a midterm evaluation where we were talking to the best and brightest engineers and forecasters, and they predicted that at best ev sales would make up around 6% of the market. well, if you look today, they're around 1 percent of the on-road

market share. new car sales are a little bit higher, but 1%, and that's because of what you just alluded to. consumers do not want these types of vehicles because of things like range anxiety. there is not reliable charging infrastructure, and the fact that you have a winter storm coming across this nation, electric vehicles perform about 30% worse in cold weather conditions x that's not the type of vehicle you yourself want to the get in or you want to put your family e in not knowing whether you're going to get from point a to point b in a safe, reliable manner. rachel: you know, mandy, if i was a tyrannical globalist and i wanted to force everybody into an ev car, then i would be focused on charging stations. they had their transportation bill, it was,on i don't know, a gazillion dollars, why didn't they make charging stations everywhere? if where are they? >> yeah. well, the so-called inflation reduction act allotted $7.5 million billion of taxpayer

funds, and the biden administration took that money and sat on it for about two years not building out a single electric charging entity that's reliable. so you have these major shortcomings that continue the play into those range anxieties with consumers. so they're not really doing their part. look, what they really want to do is they want to limit americans' ability to freely move around this country. you alluded to the city ran call globalists? it's all about kohl. and if you can control how and when consumers can go from point a to point b, you can control things like where they live, how they live, what they eat. and that's what this larger agenda from the biden administration is all about, controlling the american people to align with their relative goals, not doing what's best for the american people, the american consumer or looking out for the tax payer dollar. rachel: i get so much hope in america when i think how they've rejected, as you said, this plot

to control them through their vehicles. it's very heartening. by the way, it would make us more dependent on china, and there are so many human rights abuses. there are little children in africa who are working as slaves practically in mines as young as, you know, 5, 6, 7 years old. this is the a bad deal all the way around. mandy, thanks for your, for how bold you are in speaking about what the true cause is behind this. thanks for that, i appreciate it. thanks, mandy. >> yeah. thanks for having me. rachel: you got it. coming up, coaching carousel. bill belichick parts ways with the patriots as alabama a says good-bye to nick saban. clay travis reacts to the substitutions on the field. ♪
