>> good evening, everyone i'm laura coates and this is cnn tonight. every day seems to be, well, groundhog day in congress. it's funny that is in fact groundhog day the top it off. republicans who held and -- democrats democrats to kick marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar off companies, now turning around and kicking off ilhan omar off of the house foreign affairs affairs committee. after giving marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar brand-new committee assignments. the congressman george santos, who lied his way into congress, apparently, no penalties, as of yet, today, he called on congress to fight bigotry and antisemitism as well, which laudable but pretty rich coming from a guy who repeatedly claimed to be jewish and then

said he meant, -- -- plus, we wait for the release of up to 20 more hours of footage related to the police beating that led to the death of tyre nichols, the conversation across the country is now about how policing has to change, but the question really is, will that change come from washington, or will it be in a classroom that we talk about instead. or from a local level or police chiefs and officers themselves, and there is an investigation in ohio of and online home schooling network preparing allegedly searing messages of white supremacy and hitler quotes as educational resources for the students. why the state may not be able to do a thing about it, that's going on tonight. i want to begin with the party line vote today to ask oust congresswoman ilhan omar from the house foreign affairs committee. congresswoman defiant on the house floor before that very vote, saying this would not diminish her leadership. >> my leadership and voice will not be diminished.

if i am not on this committee for one term, my voice will get louder and stronger, and my leadership will be celebrated around the world as it has been. [applause] so, take your votes or not. i am here to stay, and i am here to be a voice, against harms around the world and advocate for a better world. i yield back. >> i want to bring in political analyst kirsten powers, former national republican senatorial committee aide liam donovan and former white house director nyera haq. -- and the premise of that movie, of course, i'm obviously a bill murray fan and an anti mcdowell fan -- the idea of getting it right time and time again and having the same set of circumstances

come up, in fact, let's play a homage for a second to how often we refer to it. >> weatherman fill connors's spending the day in punxsutawney, pennsylvania. >> phil? >> need. >> need meyersohn, i did the whistling belly button trick in the talent show. >> but phil is about to find out, he's not just stuck in punxsutawney -- >> will you out the check -- >> transit departure today, 100%. >> he stuck -- >> it's groundhog day. >> in groundhog day. >> i bring it up because how often do you hear it's groundhog day, it's groundhog day, i happen to love that movie, but i bring this up, particularly, kirsten because, look, we have been here before where there's been an opportunity for members of congress to identify a problem, change it and demonstrate some moral compass or demonstrate connective tissue that says, here is who is not ott to leave

and be consistent in many, ways and then the very next chance they have to get it right again, it's a whole different ball game, and we're still not quite at the point we are it has actually been accomplished in a way that is not hypocritical. what do you say about today? >> i mean, it is hypocritical what the republicans are doing to complain about something and then turn around and do the exactly same thing. i think that's the most minor problem here though, i think the bigger problem is this obsession with persecuting ilhan omar. we have three muslim members of congress, two of them are women that the gop is obsessed with persecuting so that's the biggest problem that we have right here. this is not about anything else other than, mainly anti muslim sentiment, and i think that it's important to have her voice in any foreign policy discussion because so much of our foreign policy actually involves people who look like her and who have her experience and have her beliefs.

so, to take her off there and say, it's no big deal because it's just foreign policy, it's like, no, that's exactly what she should be. she apologized, you have jewish members of congress who have stood up and said, she absolutely, she has done the work of repentance and repair. she has learned and is doing better, on this issue, and there is no problem here. so the republicans don't really have a leg to stand on here. >> i want to hear particularly from you nyera haq -- but let's hear what speaker mccarthy has to say. it's because it's foreign affairs in particular that you cannot be on the committee. listen to what he has to say, and then i want to hear your response. >> we're not removing her from other committees. we just do not believe when it comes to foreign affairs, especially the responsibility of that position around the world with the comments that you make. she should not serve their.

if there is a concern, it's not -for-tat, but i think in moving forward, every single member of congress has a responsibility to how they carry themselves. >> do you buy his explanation? >> no. because, if it was a matter of combatting antisemitism, then congresswoman -- jewish space lasers and congressman you h would also not be involved in these votes are conversations that comes with the house floor about foreign policy. it's not only about the committee congress authorized as large, defense bending, aid, military aid overseas. congresswoman ilhan omar is also visibly muslim. she had to get a special dispensation for wearing religious headgear because she wears a hijab on her head. that was new for congress. only about 15 or 16 years ago did we even see the first member of congress, when i was an intern and a staffer there there was nobody in leadership, in congress, barely any other muslim american staffers. so it is a big deal to have had three so far, and her

representation goes beyond that. she's a refugee, she is from africa, represents the somali american community and all that they have that to deal with in relation to counterterrorism efforts, so her experience and representation have been essential to the democratic narrative. >> there's also the idea, liam -- there is the violence rhetorically around her, but there's also the idea of violence, how it's come into congress, and there has not been the equal measure of punishment based on violent statements, on incendiary remarks. in fact, we have all heard congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez today speaking about the incident with congressman paul gosar, where her life, she feels, was really threatened and no consequence. here it is. >> i had a member of the republican caucus threaten my life, and you all and the republican caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious committee assignments in this congress. don't tell me this is about consistency.

don't tell me that this is about a condemnation of antisemitic remarks, when you have a member of the republican caucus, who has talked about jewish space lasers and a tired amount of tropes and elevated her to some of the highs committee assignments in the body. -- >>-for-tat. this is about a procedural pretext -- pelosi to this, we are going to be able to do it back. going back to what kirsten said about the long-standing hang-ups over ilhan omar elon omar --

whether that's principle, good faith, or bad, faith they wanted her out for a long time. this opened the door for the ability to do that by pointing to the fact that happened to green, and gosar. >> for different reasons though, right? >> the thing is that the democrats removed them because the republicans would not remove them. it's just a sick game that they play. >> democrats censure their own -- ilhan omar and minority leader jeffries spoke about, how she had been counseled, how they had been condemned by their own party. we're not hearing republican transgressor's of common decency or does the support the insurrection being admonished by current republican leadership. >> marjorie taylor greene had to go visit the holocaust museum because she was not sure that the holocaust even existed, right? please spare us this stuff

about how you are so concerned about antisemitism, how about donald trump, who has dinner with openly antisemitic people, nick fuentes? and kanye west. this is not on the up and up. this is 100%, they have been out for her for the minute she stepped foot in congress. they have been crazed. you had margie taylor greene when she ran for office, posing with a gun and -- with pictures of the squad, ilhan omar, aoc and rashida tlaib, two of those people happen to be muslim women, interesting, i wonder what that's about? >> -- one thing i do want to point out, because we have not talked about, it kevin mccarthy has the ability to unilaterally take people off the committees, including the intelligence. we are not talking about schiff and swalwell -- we're talking about omar because she's the only person on a standing standing committee they are removing. but he already did this to adam schiff and eric swalwell with the discreet reason to do that. he promised to do that or elise alluded to an intention to do that back on the four debate in 2021. in a lot of ways, this is

coming home to roost. >> we have to remember, this is all catering to the far-right in the republican party. there are many republicans uncomfortable with this, so this is something that the far-right, who he had to basically make all these concessions to become the leader, he's trying to keep them happy. >> speaker jeffries -- i want to point out -- i want you to hear this. he actually points out what this might mean in the long run in terms of the relationship between the democrats and republicans with this very narrow majority. listen to what he had to say about, well, the complexity of that relationship now going forward. >> speaker mccarthy knows i strongly disagree with him and them on this issue, and this type of poisonous, toxic, double standard is going to complicate the relationship moving forward between has democrats and house republicans. >> foreboding and yet likely accurate. >> and republicans are going to need a few democrats to be able to get any other debt limit budget compromises done. it is not a simple majority

that will get kevin mccarthy's work to pass his agenda. he is constantly on the back foot with these fights that cater to the maga base of his party as opposed to advancing any type of positive message for republicans, even though he's in charge. >> we'll see how voters look at all of this. everyone, thank you, stick around. when we come back, memphis says there are 20 hours of additional footage related to the brutal police beating of tyre nichols that is still to come. frankly, a terrible reminder of just how much policing in this country needs to be reformed. but we will that change and all the reform come from and in what form and when? every year we try to exercise more, to be more social, to just relax. and eating healthy every single meal?

if only it was this easy for us.

>> president joe biden meeting today with members of the congressional black caucus just one day after the funeral of tyre nichols who is beaten beyond submission by police in memphis. the president joining the calls for policing reforms. >> my hope is that this dark memory spurs action, that we have all been fighting for and -- although you just have got to keep at it. i listened to al sharpton's eulogy, which i thought was first rate, and we've got to stay at it the longer it takes. >> here with me in the studio cnn legal analyst elliott williams and joshua school, former fbi assistant director of intelligence and also

joining us is sue rarr former sheriff of king county washington. let me begin with you, sue, out there, because it is important to really orient the conversation especially based on your experience. you were in law enforcement and you are at a piece that is thought-provoking compelling in the atlantic and you say that after watching the tyre nichols video you know why this keeps happening. you say it is police culture. tell me what you think needs to be changed. >> well we have to let go of the mythology that police are fighting a noble battle between good and evil. police are used as a cleanup crew, they're used as a substitute for unfunded social services that keep neighborhoods healthy and vigorous and at some point i am hoping that i can get my appear law enforcement leaders to stand up and say we are not going to do this anymore. there has to be policing, don't get me wrong i'm not saying

that we need police, but we cannot use them as a substitute. we have to have adequately funded social services and there is a whole array of other issues that leave communities to be in the situations that they're in, but we first have to start by bringing in services to help people. >> joshua, in your experience as well, the former fbi executive assistant director -- and thinking about this -- there ought to be obviously a symbiotic relationship in the community and police officers. but they are often complaining and justifiably, in many respects, about being the catch all that she speaks of. 9-1-1 in itself being the catchall, having to be the jack of all trades, responding to things like mental health calls without having the proper training and it runs the gamut as well -- not excusing excessive force or poor behavior that goes against training. but tell me what you make of this idea of a catchall. this idea of police officers

being asked to do too much, which leads to this culture. >> law enforcement, first of all, they need the community to do their job. they have to rely on the community to do their job so that relationship that you talk about is essential to law enforcement and policing. they are asked to do too much today, and when you look at the transgressions of law enforcement, the horrific acts in memphis, i think you have to go back to the root causes. you have to look at what is the training, what are the hiring practices, are we bringing the right people, are you bringing the right culture. those are the core root of the problem. to get on the front end of why this happened, not to clean it up after the fact. >> it's an important point because along with a community, obviously, there's gonna be trust and trust is obliterated if not fatally diminished when you've got emphasis after instance after instance of what has happened, when somebody has a great deal of responsibility and believes they are omnipotent as a result and untouchable as a result. we are learning about 20 hours of additional footage in

involved memphis police beating of tyre nichols, -- i bring that up -- what you just said -- because we are looking at this and looking retrospectively at what happened as opposed to realtime or forward thinking. what does that say to you that you've got all this footage and still the problems persist? >> well look, it's a cultural point. i want to pick up on what -- sheriff -- said about the philosophy behind policing and no good or wrong to this, but baked into american culture is the idea that police are warriors, not guardians of community. think about basic things, for instance, the term troops. troops or troopers referring to police. it does not have to be that way but the notion of policing is an offshoot of the military is just sort of who we are as americans. that could change as a sort of rethinking and reshaping of how we approach policing. she also made a great point about social services and seattle is actually done a great deal of this, think about

the individual who is urinating behind the library or even the kid in school who might even the violent. most of those circumstances call for a social worker, not an armed police officer to show up. >> the likelihood of a serious altercation, perhaps ending in fatality is greatly increased when somebody shows up with a firearm. imagine if we just re-thought the whole idea of policing,, not a social services -- because there are times when you need armed police officers and when you want police officers. but most encounters really require social services showing up on the scene not someone who might necessarily increase the risk of violence. >> sheriff raw are rarr -- it also strikes me when you talk about the culture of police, a term that people use obviously refers to a very big umbrella and yet we have got a patchwork of individual police departments without one singular, universal standard.

we don't even have the idea of a national registry, et cetera. of problematic officers -- you talk about the culture of policing. is it possible to change the culture of policing when you've got hundreds if not thousands and thousands of individual, cultural police departments? >> i think it's possible, but it is going to be very difficult. and because we've got 18,000 different opinions, both for the local city councils and the police chief, there is got to -- how do you change your academy. so, from day one, you don't start creating stormtroopers. you start out creating guardians who believe that they

have a role in the community to protect and serve, not to suppress and conquer. that is necessary sometimes. the other thing that we have got to be very careful of is we talk about alternative call handling, we should be sending social workers, we should be diverting these calls out to another system. that system is not properly funded and so we have got to be careful that we build that up before we start diverting people. we did this in the 70s with mental health system and we said we're not gonna lock people into state hospitals, we are going to send them back into the community for treatment. that system never rose to the occasion and that is why we are in the mess that we are in right now, with mental health issues. >> joshua, i will give you the last word on this. what are those incentives that the sheriff speaks of -- what would that look like? with that something be the kind of carrot that would provoke change? is it financial? >> it certainly financial. when you look at law

enforcement agencies, the 18,000 that the sheriff talked about, over half of them have less than 20 departments. how are those funded, how are they paying four body worn cameras, how are they changing training, what is the national standard look like and how does the federal government assist law enforcement with those cultural changes. i think those are really important issues to examine. >> i think it speaks to that universal national standards that are likely included pending legislation, by the, way on issues. we will see how those alternate. thank you all. also, looking to ohio where authorities are investigating an online home schooling network where parents allegedly shared pro not see and white supremacist messages as education resources. and shockingly there might be little at all the state can actually do about it. we will explain, next.

>> well tonight, the investigation is underway in ohio by the states educational department. this following reports that parents were members of an online home schooling network

are allegedly sharing white supremacist and pro naughty pro not see messages as educational resources to teach the children, said to be included our posts described as racist and anti-and homophobic. and education official says that very little can be done because the department does not review or approve homeschooling curriculums. cnn's omar jimenez is working on this developing story and he joins us now. omar, i'm so glad to see you here in following the story because really, it is pretty shocking to think that there is not the oversight that one would presume must happen. what can you tell us about the messages that this homeschooling that network has apparently been sharing amongst themselves? >> yeah laura, so an official with the state department of education says that really, while they are reviewing any compliance, or potential compliance issues here, there is not much they can do because they do not review or prove

approve curriculums for home schooling. and when you talk about what is actually being circulated here, this is a group that is believed to operate out of upper sandusky ohio, and they i'm not shy about their pro not see, white supremacist, homophobic, it probably is in there, messages. as they describe, them lessons. you look at one lesson that they posted around -- thanksgiving. a copywriting lesson, whether -- in this case easing quotes from hitler to do it. now, last month, as martin luther king junior day, mrs. saxon, a username -- know him. the deceitful, dishonest, riot inciting -- he actually was. he's the face of a movement that ethnically cleanse whites out of urban areas and precipitated the anti white regime we are now fighting to free ourselves from. and in bold, underlined, the post continued saying that this

is a unit study for elementary aged children. now one of the alleged leaders of those white supremacy, social media messaging platform group -- he is now no longer working for his own family owned and run business according to the company. they put out a statement saying that the viewpoints and ideology recently expressed by logan lawrence and his wife in no way represent the values of lawrence insurance agencies, their values, or their employees. accordingly, we emphatically denounce what they have said and done and we wholeheartedly emphasize with all who have been hurt, upset, and disturbed by their conduct. now an online research group named logan and katya lawrence as those who run it. i have reached out to them many times, have not gotten a response at this point. but logan's brother, jordan, told me that they, the larger family, had no idea this was happening. they are gutted to find out, they say that it is not representative of who they are

as a larger family -- he says he has not spoken to his brother in recent days. another source close to the family says that they have been getting threats as a result of this, and said that there's been collateral damage in their community in upper sandusky, which as you can imagine is pretty small, but also that source said that it is telling that they did this in secret, implying that if they had known about it -- the surrounding community, the surrounding family, that they would have stopped this from happening. at the very least challenge challenged them on this. as we talked about in the beginning, the local school officials, state and school officials have condemned it, not clear what they can actually do about it since it is home school. >> omar, it's pretty stunning penmanship through hitler lessons, discussions about dr. king, really outrageous. to think -- and again, you said, this is elementary schools in part? it's stunning. omar jimenez, thank you. i want to bring in scott de morrow, president of the ohio educational association which represents 120,000 teachers and faculty and support

professionals in ohio's schools. scott, i'm very glad you're here. it might be very stunning not only the content of what is being circulated within this homeschooling organization but i was surprised to find out that under ohio law the state department of education does not review or approve a home school curriculum and that parents need in order to teach, but they need to provide 900 hours of instruction every year, notify the superintendent every year, provide assurance that the teacher has a high school diploma or other equivalency and provide an assessment of the students work including results of a nationally standardized test. do these requirements, given what we are learning from the investigation, need to get much tougher? >> they do need to get tougher. there is an inherent problem with home schooling requirements in ohio and other states that just allow for a

almost completely unregulated system to move forward. the problem is that local school districts that receive these reports are letters from families indicating that they are indicating on planning on home schooling their children don't really have the authority or capacity to provide oversight that i think is required. and i will be clear that i am sure that the vast majority of people who home schooled air children are not like of lawrence's, they all have very good reasons for making that choice to home school there children, but this is an inherently unregulated system and i do not know that there is a lot that can be done. what we ought to make sure that we are not doing is in any way subsidizing this action and in the state of ohio right now home school families get a 250 -dollar tax credit from the people of ohio to offset their

costs. there is legislation that has been introduced by members of the general assembly that would in case that to $2,000. i will say, for one, as a taxpayer i do not want to subsidize people are that are going to be teaching hateful ideology to children. >> and yet, i'm glad you mention that tax credit -- but $250 is nothing to sneeze at but in the long run, would it be if you were to remove that particular tax credit, would that be enough of an incentive for people to essentially teach according to a much more regulated system in the home school environment. i do note what you've mentioned -- that there has been condemnation from teachers of course in ohio and yet there has not been an agreement on how and what to do about this and it speaks to a larger issue in the world that we're talking about parental involvement in schools, the idea of how one could possibly regulate what parent wants to teach at home

or to espouses viewpoints. is there some sort of a solution that you think right now is on the immediate horizon to address this, even outside of the tax credit. because i note that governor mike dewine in ohio has stopped short of saying whether he will actually explore policy solutions and the republican senate president says that he does not think that stricter homeschooling policies are the right answer, necessarily. so how do you find a middle ground to change it? >> i think it's gonna be really tough, especially since in the senate there is legislation to restructure the state department of education, to get the authority of the state board of education, and in that legislation it would be to even further deregulate homeschooling in ohio. i do not know where the debate over regulation is going to go, but there is a larger movement

that we are dealing with in ohio and many states across the country and that is to take resources away from the 90% of children who attend our public schools and divert them to private options. people have freedom, people have the opportunity to make choices to send their kids to private schools or to home school them, but it is not the responsibility of the taxpayers of the state to subsidize those choices when we need to instead ensure that every single one of our students, regardless of their race, regardless of their zip code, have the resources that they need to reach and achieve their potential. that is where we need to focus our issues, let's not get distracted by these kinds of side issues. let's focus our attention on fully and fairly funding our public schools. >> that is part of a much longer conversation, just to give the audience a perspective here. we are talking about more than

51,000 during the 2020 to 2021 school year, according to the -- institute were home schooled in ohio. -- having this particular access to this information. a really important conversation that does not have to end today. it's nice speaking with, you scott dimauro. -- >> thank you laura. >> patrick mahomes and jalen hurts going in front of the cameras ahead of the big super bowl appearance and they're talking about just how historic their matchup is. when aspen dental told me that my dentures were ready, i was so excited. i love the confidence. i love that i can blast this beautiful smile and make the world smile with me. i would totally say aspen dental changed my life. aspen dental makes new smiles affordable. right now, get 20% off dentures. we do anything to make you smile.

>> on february 12th, two black quarterbacks will be starting in the super bowl for the very first time ever. and today the kansas city chiefs quarterback pat mahomes

and the philadelphia eagle eagles quarterback jalen hurt are both speaking back about the history making occasion. >> yeah, i mean to be on the world stage and have two black quarterbacks start in the super bowl, i think it is special. and i've learned more and more about the history of the black quarterback since i've been in this league and the guys who came before me and jalen hurts so the state for this and now i'm just glad that we can kind of set the stage for guys and kids that are coming up now. >> i think it's history in something that's worthy of being noted. it is history, you know it's come a long way. there's only been seven african american quarterbacks to play in the super bowl. and so to be the first in something is pretty cool. so i know it'll be a good one. >> joining me now cnn sports analyst christine brennan and former nfl wide receiver donté stallworth, both here with us. let's begin with you dante, you hear mahomes talking about learning more about the black quarterbacks and the history in the study of this as well. talk to me about what this

means, the historic significance of this, having two black quarterbacks playing in the big game. >> it's huge. it's obviously the first time -- these two young men are extremely talented. they are leaders on the field and their leaders in the community, and have two guys that are, not even in the prime of their careers -- they are still young. they have many more years to play, hopefully. and so these two guys are leading these teams, to the best teams in the nfl, they're gonna square off next sunday and is going to be huge. not only because of on the field, but off the field obviously. these two kids are really good at what they do they are really good at being leaders in the community, but i think most importantly to you heard patrick talk about off the field, as you go in the league you go in the league he start to understand history. board doug williams was obviously the first -- black quarterback -- and he changed the narrative of what black quarterbacks can do

in the nfl. -- playing in the super bowl. >> funny shouldn't. jim because actually had a chance to interview doug williams earlier about this and here's what he had to say in thinking about this moment and the significance. >> i can remember from 45 years ago that vince abrams and myself for the first two black quarterbacks to play in the regular nfl game back when i was in chicago, and last night when i was sitting there watching patrick, -- i already saw jalen when his game, and sitting there -- so much anxiety came through for me, and from an emotional standpoint -- i got emotional to see that happen. >> christine, used to cover him as well. talk to me about the significance. >> i covered that entire season for the washington post, covering the washington football team. every second of that story with doug, he was not the starter, there is another player --

named jay schroeder, but joe, gives the great hall of fame coach decided to go with doug for the playoffs and then of course for the super bowl making him the first black quarterback to start to start in a super bowl -- heartedly that was january of 1988. then of course he won the game and became the mvp. heroic -- he banned his knee back. we talked about this earlier. he came out for play and he wanted to fight to get back in the game, when that, came when the mvp award. and doug comes from another era. he comes from a time, laura, and donté stallworth, where our guys were told, if you were a black man, you can play quarterback. or if you play in college, you can't play in the pros. i cheered for a quarterback, as a girl, at the university of toledo, chickalah, who had to go to canadian football league to play quarterback, and yet he was one of the greatest quarterbacks i've ever watched play but at that time my dad told me that they're not gonna let him play quarterback because they do not think that black men have the ability or a or smart enough. it was just pure racism, and i learned that as a young suburban white girl because of

chuck ealy. and then to see doug be able to pull it off, there were tears in his eyes. i have to tell you as a hard bitten journalist, there were probably tears in my eyes seeing him accomplish, what -- 10 or 12 years early what shaft ealy could never have accomplished. and then now to see this on one level, as i've talked about, this is the first time that two black men are starting, but what an achievement and it certainly will not be the last time that two black men are starting. >> as you mentioned, it's the idea of the age of these players as well, and what younger people are looking at and seeing and what ought to be the norms happening again. again these are incredible athletes, period, point blank on that. let's turn to another one however because we're talking about the super bowl coming up, in about three games i would say i'm just averaging here, for one man name lebron james, who is within the sites of a significant record.

it looks like when he is going surpass -- at some point, in the season, in the very near future -- kareem abdul-jabbar as the nba all-time scoring leader. that's so significant. what would this mean for his legacy? >> he's the greatest of all time, i would think. but not just in basketball -- it's that staying power that we talk about with athletes. and the way that he is lived his life, laura, and donté stallworth, -- someone who only went to high school, it did not go to college, just an exemplary american -- a fine human being a role model, giving back to the community in akron, northern ohio. never a false step. never a mistake. absolutely -- the long jeopardy, the human being that he is -- it is remarkable to see and history will record him as one of our great, great athletes and great people. >> he does, as an athlete, transcended his sport. what do you see? obviously, he's a professional athlete in the football arena, but seeing the greatness it's hard to not respect it.

>> yeah, he's in his 20th year now. he came into the league as a young 18 year old fresh out of high school, as christine said. he played his first game in sacramento and i was there. i'm from sacramento. i had just gotten into the nfl so we kind of came into the nfl at the same time. we came into professional sports at the same time. i've been out of the nfl for about ten years and he's still playing. so to me that's just mind-boggling. it's a testament to his work ethic, it's a testament to his craft and working on his craft and really committing himself to not only staying physically fit but you have to stay mentally fit. the way he eats, the way he gets his rest, all of that is important. just as a professional athlete in general, but to sustain and have sustained consistency and greatness for so long, that is something that is really special. >> i want to be at that tom brady diet. i think about it all the time, i wonder -- the fountain of youth is coming there in some way -- i bet somehow it's always hard to get lakers tickets, something tells us if there's gonna be higher and higher
