>> as my best friend kia says, fly, eagles fly. she only calls him the birds when she's mad at them. so? so we will see what happens. but when you look at this, this tells you a little story about how people feel about kansas city, doesn't it? >> yeah, there is a bit of kansas city and patrick mahomes fatigue, and it turns out that we can see this in another way. and this, i think, kind of says it all. americans who don't care who wins, i am one of them. and you can see it's a rising share. it was 43% in 2023, 47% last time around. and the majority, including myself this time around. it's no wonder that super bowl prices are plummeting. we just don't care. to quote stephen a smith. >> usaid is still mad about the bills. let's be clear about that. >> hey, yeah, but my guy did win mvp last night. >> there you go. you got a little something. something. >> i got a little something. >> no trophy though. harry enten. thank you so much. thank you. a new hour of cnn news central starts right now.

>> millions of federal workers remain in limbo this morning after a federal judge pushed off president trump's ultimatum. deadline to accept his resignation offer. so what is next in that fight? we've got details, and the fbi just turned over the names of thousands of fbi employees. what it means for all of those who worked on january 6th related cases. and if you didn't notice, super bowl weekend is upon us. yes, yes. kansas city chiefs, the philadelphia eagles, that's who's playing. and we are live in new orleans. that's where they're playing for you this morning. that's the beginning and end of my knowledge. i'm kate baldwin with john berman and sara sidner. this is cnn news central. >> all right. this morning. the deadline is now monday. a federal judge paused. president trump and elon musk's so-called

buyout plan for federal workers over a fight on whether it's legal. so far, 65,000 federal workers have accepted the offer. we should note that is, fewer fewer workers than normally leave every year. there is also an effort to force workers out. sources within usaid tell us fewer than 300 staffers will be able to keep their jobs. the organization has some 10,000 personnel around the world, and one more update on the people pushing these staffing decisions. one person on elon musk's team resigned after he was tied to racist social media posts. let's get to cnn's kevin liptak at the white house for the latest on this. and the latest seems to be this pause. kevin. >> yeah. and federal workers now have three more days to decide whether they're going to take up the white house's offer to put themselves on paid administrative leave until september, or risk the these layoffs that the white house

says are coming as they work to dramatically reduce the size of the federal government. now, as of last night, about 65,000 federal workers had taken the white house up on this offer. that's well short of their goal of between 5 and 10% of the federal workforce, or about 100,000 federal workers. and as you mentioned, it's also well short of just normal annual attrition statistics in the government. about 100,000 people retire on average from the federal government every year. it's an aging workforce. and so they're still well short of those numbers as well. and i think it just goes to show the degree of suspicion that a lot of federal workers are regarding this offer with. and that is really the crux of the lawsuit from these three federal labor unions, who said that the white house didn't have the authority to pay the severances that they were promising because congress had not appropriated the funds. and that certainly is now trickling down through the federal workforce who are regarding this offer with an enormous amount of skepticism. when you talk to federal workers

and you know their neighbors, their friends, there really is not a huge degree of optimism that this offer will come through, despite what the white house and the office of personnel management have been saying and have been urging over the last week as they try and convince these federal workers to take them up on the offer. and so the federal judge will have a hearing on monday to renew this offer, to try and sort of gain a legal standing. at the end of the day, this is just one of so many legal challenges to the president's executive orders that he's tried to put in place since coming into office. in part, that was the strategy to flood the system, to flood the courts as they really work to reshape the federal government. >> all right. kevin liptak at the white house this morning. thank you for your reporting on all this, sara. >> all right. has president trump and special government employee, as he's called elon musk, swing the ax at u.s. aids global workforce? some lawmakers fighting back. this week, two democratic representatives confronted house speaker mike

johnson in his office as he was meeting with the treasury secretary. and you're seeing the video there over the trump administration granting musk access to extremely sensitive payment systems and information. wisconsin congressman gwen moore says she left the meeting concerned that, quote, the speaker had no idea what they'd been doing. with us now is congresswoman, who ended up joining her, california democrat judy chu, who is also a member of the house ways and means committee. good morning to you. this week. you went in there with gwen moore of wisconsin to speak with mike johnson, with the speaker of the house. and what was to you so urgent? what did you learn in that meeting, if anything, that either makes you concerned or that assuages some of your concerns? >> what we. >> learned just. >> moments before was that elon musk and. unelected billionaire

had been given unfettered access to the most precious private details of hundreds of millions of americans. this has to do with tax information. this has to do. >> with social security. >> and medicare. >> the department of treasury. has access to. >> all of that, and he was given unfettered. >> access to. >> not only look. >> at that. >> information. >> but also do something about it, such as stop payments. we were so. >> alarmed. >> we heard that speaker johnson was going to be meeting with the secretary treasurer of the treasury, bessent. and so we marched down there to ask why he was doing that. when the law says that this is completely confidential information that should not be touched by unelected billionaires. >> does elon musk, at this moment in time, have more power than congress right now?

>> it would seem so. and it would seem that the president has given him that enormous power to just go into agencies and and mine the data, and then just fire people. but actually, he does not have that ability. everything that he's done has been illegal. he does not have the ability to just cut a program or to tell employees that they can be on administrative leave and promise a buyout. he doesn't have the authority because it is congress that appropriates the funds for those kinds of actions. so that is why one by one, these actions have been stopped by the courts. and in fact, his unfettered access to actually manipulating payments out to the american people was stopped by the judge yesterday, though he still has the ability to read all those records of hundreds of millions

of americans. >> congresswoman chu, what are you going to to do about this? and what are democrats your fellow democrats going to do? they do not have control of the house. they do not have control of the senate. >> we just introduced the. taxpayer data privacy act, and we have all democrats that have signed on. it protects taxpayers confidential private tax information. and you know what the margins between republicans and democrats in the house is so small that we only need three republicans to sign on, and we can pass this bill out. >> at this point in time. do you have any indication that any of the republicans would sign on to something like that? >> what we do know is that republicans have similar concerns about the confidential

nature of tax information. and in fact, when we talked to speaker johnson in that in that meeting, he said he has questions, too, and he wanted to ask them. so i do think there's a very uneasy feeling amongst republicans, and i hope that they do what's best for their constituents by joining us on this very, very important bill. >> all right. i want to ask you about usaid, because they are under the gun right now. elon musk has called usaid a ball of worms. trump has called the leaders of usaid, u.s. aid, radical left lunatics. the new secretary of state, marco rubio, one of your colleagues also trashing the agency, a far cry from what he has said about foreign aid and foreign agencies when he was a senator. this is what our kfile dug up. and i just want you to listen and respond to what you're hearing from rubio, then, and what you've been hearing from him

now. >> we don't. >> have to give foreign aid. >> we do so. >> because it furthers. >> our. >> national interest. >> that's why we give foreign aid. >> now, obviously. >> there's a component to foreign. >> aid that's. >> humanitarian in scope, and. >> that's. important too. i promise. >> you, it's going to be a lot harder. >> to recruit. >> someone to anti-americanism, anti-american terrorism. >> if the united states of. >> america was the reason. >> why they're even alive today. anybody who tells you that we can slash. >> foreign aid. >> and that will bring us to balance is lying to you. foreign aid is less than 1% of our budget. it's just not true. >> you heard his comments there. so what has changed since rubio was a senator about senator about five minutes ago? >> well. >> he went against even his own thinking early on. and of course, it's president trump that has influenced that change. nonetheless, for decades, u.s. aid aid has been helping people in countries all around the world. and we're not just doing this because it's so important,

even though it is important because, for instance, it saved lives through george bush initiated program called pepfar, which has helped people with aids to be able to live around the around the world. but it's also created a relationship with those countries that is very, very important for global stability. and if we decide we're going to leave all those countries in the world, guess what other superpowers are going to step in, such as china or russia, and we will be left out in the cold. so that is what is at danger. by trying to decimate usaid. besides the fact that it indeed saves lives. >> it was one of the epitomes of soft power. now, though, the trump administration is pulling that all back. and they say, look, the americans voted for

us, for america first, and this is what we're going to do. congresswoman judy chu, thank you so much for joining us this morning. i really do appreciate your time this morning. kate. >> the justice department ordered the fbi to name names, and the fbi just relented and handed over thousands of names of agents and others involved in january, sixth cases. so what now? and a california utility company just reported its equipment likely sparked one of the smaller fires that broke out in southern california one month ago today. what the utility says happened and why they're still investigating what caused those bigger, most destructive fires. the first jobs report of the trump administration is just out the story. that report is now telling about where the u.s. economy is headed. >> honey. >> but the gains are pumping. dad, is mommy a finance bro? >> she switched careers to make. money for your weddings. >> the asian market is blowing up. hey, who wants shots, huh? shots of milk. >> the right money. moves aren't as.

of champions. sunday, march 2nd. >> at eight. >> new overnight after a week long standoff of sorts, the fbi has now handed over to the justice department the names of thousands of employees who worked on january 6th cases. the move comes after the cia was ordered to do something similar this week, which that sparked fears it would trigger a new national security threat. cnn's zach cohen has much more on what all is happening now and what now happens next. >> yeah, kate, the concern now is that these names will eventually be released publicly. and that's something fbi officials have been warning would put the safety of these employees and their families at risk. now, the acting director of the fbi tried to offer employees some reassurance, at least as far as the department of justice's intentions go when it comes to this list of names. writing in an email yesterday, quote, i want to be clear that as of now, we do not have information indicating the department of justice intends to disseminate these lists publicly and they are fully aware of the risks we believe are inherent in

doing so. and now a doj lawyer, also in court yesterday saying that there is no indication that the department is not sent this list out to anyone else outside of the department. but at the same time couldn't acknowledge that other government employees, government agencies could have obtained this list through unofficial channels, which obviously not offering much assurance to those fbi employees who are worried about their identities being exposed. and look, this all is happening in a broader context, right? not a vacuum. donald trump has been very public in airing his grievances, particularly as it relates to the fbi and the january 6th investigations, including the one into him. he called it a witch hunt. and he's also promised to enact sweeping changes at the bureau. he's already fired several of the prosecutors at the department of justice that conducted those criminal cases against him and others in the january 6th context. so, look, fbi officials are really concerned about this list. even if it was transferred in a classified channel.

>> and with all of this still swirling, you also have new reporting, somewhat of how some fbi employees are reacting to all of this. >> yeah, absolutely. look, and this is a big concern about political retribution, right? fbi officials, even though department of justice, top department of justice folks have insisted that these names will not be used to enact any sort of political retribution. fbi rank and file are still concerned. and look, the department of justice memos have not really offered reassurances either. there was one with the subject line demanding these names, and the subject was termination. so these concerns are valid in a lot of ways. these fbi officials are also wondering when we're gone, if we're fired, who's going to do those jobs, you know, that are left unoccupied. and things including terrorism, organization, terrorism investigations, things including foreign interference. so a lot of questions at the fbi and across the federal agencies. >> zach cohen, thanks for the reporting, zach. john. >> all right. this morning, residents in southern california are now starting to rebuild

their homes and communities. a month after the deadly wildfires there. with us now from altadena is julia vargas jones like, what's it like there? what are you seeing? >> yeah, john. >> it's actually a very emotional. >> time here because. >> yesterday we. >> attended this memorial for the victims. of the fire. with reverend al sharpton. >> we also caught. >> up with one of. >> the family members who had spoken to cnn before, speaking about losing his sister in the fire and basically telling us he doesn't even feel like this is all real. >> does he. >> feel like. >> it's been a month? >> it feels like it's been years. that's what's crazy. it feels like years of pain. >> i'm literally. >> just been waiting to wake up and tell everybody this crazy story about, you know, my life and what this crazy dream i had

where altadena burnt down. and it doesn't seem real. and that's literally how everybody feels. >> they're literally just waiting to wake up each. >> day. >> and john, on top of that, these residents are also filing lawsuits. they claim that southern california edison, the utility company here in southern california, is responsible for the beginning of the eaton fire. now, southern california edison says that that is still up to investigators to determine. they filed yesterday two separate letters where they did acknowledge the existence of some videos that show what could potentially be the beginning of the eaton fire. but they did say that their utility apparel could have caused the beginning of the first fire. one of those smaller fires that started on the same day as the eaton and the palisades fire here in the los

angeles area, but that rebuilding is going to take a long time, not only for these families to get closure and to feel like someone is taking accountability for these fires, but just the process itself, the building and the cleaning up of altadena just began last week. the epa was here removing the toxic debris. only now, after they are done with this process, will contractors be able to come in and start cleaning up and start the actual rebuilding of these homes and these communities? john. >> so much work to do. julia vargas jones, thank you very much for being there, sarah. >> all right. data. just in. job growth. not so good to start the year, but are there any highlights there we will discuss ahead. and a major rebrand for the boy scouts of america. why? they're taking boy out of the >> the boeing 787 has crashed in the lockerbie area. >> trying to find out the why of it became everything. >> nothing is what it seems in the lockerbie story.

well, yeah. they're more like mini computers. precisely, next slide. xfinity mobile customers are connected to wifi 90% of the time. that's why our network has powerboost with wifi speeds up to a gig where you need it most. so, this whole meeting could have been remote? oh, that is my ex-husband who i don't speak to. hey! no, i'm good to talk! xfinity internet customers, cut your mobile bill in half for your first year with xfinity mobile. plus, ask how to get the new samsung galaxy s25+ on us. >> got the meeting notes. i'll ask it for action items in the

307,000. so this is less than half that pace. and yet the good news is that the unemployment rate went down to 4%. that is historically low. so i think when you put those two things together and we look at this trend, it paints the picture of a jobs market where bosses are not really hiring that many people right now, but they're also not really letting them go. now, as far as why we saw this slowdown, there had been some thinking coming into today that perhaps the l.a. wildfires and the extreme cold would drive down the pace of hiring. but the bls put a special note in here where they said that there was no discernible effect on payrolls from the wildfires or from the cold weather. now, i think another important thing to look at is what's going on with wages. because when we think about the economy, it's the cost of living. and i think there's some good news for workers here because look at this. wages were up by 4.1% year over year. that is an acceleration that is solid growth. more importantly it is well ahead of the rate of

inflation at 2.7%. so we've seen this trend happen for a number of months in a row. the longer it happens, the better people are going to feel about prices, the level of prices, the better they're going to be able to catch up to prices as well. so hopefully we see that play out more. we look at the market reaction, stock futures. they're set to open. stocks open slightly higher. not a massive reaction from wall street which i think makes sense because the thinking before today was that the fed was on hold. right. no rush to cut interest rates anytime soon. and there's really nothing about these numbers that is going to change that. at any rate, right now that's what the market is saying. we're going to see more numbers on data, on jobs, more numbers on inflation before we know what the fed is going to do next. one thing i just want to leave you with is this historic jobs streak. as of the numbers that just came out today, 49 consecutive months of job growth, that is the second longest streak on record. and it shows that president trump inherited a historically strong

jobs market. >> yeah. inherited is the word to use because all of this is from the past administration that's happening now. and we will see what some of the policies that donald trump puts in will do to the economy, whether it will make it better or make it worse. >> we will find out. >> we'll wait and find out. matt egan, thank you so much. appreciate it. kate. >> joining us right now is the white house national economic council director kevin hassett. it's good to see you again, kevin. what story do you think this jobs report is telling? >> you know, i have like quite a different read of the data from. >> what. >> we just. >> heard from your excellent team. i think they kind. >> of had rosy. >> scenario glasses on. >> when i. >> look at these numbers, the thing that jumps. >> out at. >> me, kate, is that they're, you know. >> every now and. >> then they do this big benchmark revision where they say, well, we do an advance estimate and then we have to revise them. and the benchmark came out today and we'll get another one a. >> year from now. >> and the benchmark told us that the downward revisions for the biden job record were about cumulatively.

>> a. >> whole million people. and so we had a. >> million fewer workers in. >> the u.s. than the bls told us right before the election than we actually had. and so what it means. >> is that. >> the jobs market is way weaker than we thought. and you saw a weak number. >> this month. >> and so. >> somehow coming into like a couple of months of data, ignoring a downward revision of a million jobs and then saying we've inherited the strongest jobs market ever. i think that's kind of. like an upside. scenario through. >> rosy glasses. >> the bottom line is the jobs market is way worse than we thought, and the revisions prove that we've lost a million jobs that voters before the election were told were there. >> so with that, as you know, you've worked in you've worked in government before. this economy is now the trump economy that you're looking at and will have now for the next four years, for better or for better or worse. that's how a president gets it. let's talk about tariffs, because that could have an impact on all of it. the tariffs that are now on pause

against mexico and canada. what is the metric kevin, that the president is using to measure progress enough to say that that 25% won't be kicking in in 30 days. >> right. well, the president has said all along that this first move is about the drug war, not a trade war or anything. and so he feels like a lot of news outlets discovered what he was doing. like he wrote an eo that said this is about a drug war. 90,000 people died from fentanyl in the last year that we have data, and that's not acceptable. it's worse than the vietnam war, and it's in part because our neighbors. >> are allowing. >> fentanyl to come across. and maybe they're not in cahoots with the gangs, the drug gangs, but they're not rounding them up either. and so we had a 25% tariff. >> on them and. >> an enormous amount of positive action from canada and from mexico. and i think there's a great. progress

>> prices we want to do, we want to work together. he said both sides of the border need to work together because he was reporting guns are heading into canada from the west side of the he literally said yesterday that they're ready to work together. >> so if progress is being made, can you say that the president is going to is going to say, you know, add another 30 days? or how does this work? >> the president will decide that, you know, he'll decide that as he watches the progress.

and, you know, that's above my pay grade. the president will decide that. >> understand? i get it. the white house trade adviser, peter navarro, he was on with me this week, and i asked him about what i have heard from business leaders. specifically. i asked him about what it means. these tariffs from china mean for the footwear industry that the china tariffs, the tariffs on china, are going to raise prices for consumers. i want to play for you what peter said to that. >> china will absorb most or all of the tariff. that was our experience in the first term. that will be our experience here. the reality is when the negotiations are made with china to export things here, what happens when the tariffs go in place is that the chinese companies are forced to lower their prices. >> business leaders say that data is that the data does not show that, that tariff rates and inflation tend to trend with one another. how do you explain to people already struggling against inflation why it is worth it to now pay more for

products like shoes? >> well, well, the record is that they didn't. and let's just talk about the economics of this because it's pretty intuitive. the fact is that if you put a tariff or a tax on something that has very elastic supply, so, so the suppliers can change their production a lot, then it can have an effect on how they supply. but if you have inelastic supply that if you put a tariff on it or not, then it's the supplier that bears the tariff or tax. and the fact is, the most inelastic thing in the whole wide world is chinese production. they're producing as much as they can to create as big of a trade surplus as they can, and selling it to whoever will buy it. and so they don't have elastic supply. they're the most inelastic supply on earth. and so if there's a tax or a tariff, it's going to be borne by the inelastic factor. it's e101. sorry to have to go back to the economic talk, but yes, peter was 100% right. peter has a phd in economics from harvard

and he understands. >> i'm not questioning kevin. i'm not questioning anyone's resume or going back to economics one on one. i guess if you then then, then you can assure american consumers they will not see higher prices because after these chinese tariffs. >> prices will not. china is not going to jack up prices because of a 10% tariff. in a way that's going to be probably even identifiable in the cpi. >> it's not about china. >> jacking up prices. cpi. >> american businesses having to pay the duty and having to bear the cost of the tariff. then they have. then they pass it on to consumers that that's what that's what i'm talking about here. >> yeah. no i'm talking about i'll say i'll say my point. another way that suppose that that you're buying something for a dollar and then we say, hey, you got to pay a ten cent tax. and then if the store charges $1.10, then the person who's buying the stuff from the store pays the $0.10 tax. and if the

store charges a $1, then the store is only getting $0.90 now. and so the question is what's going to happen? and the conversation we had before was explaining how we think about those things and how we think about this thing, is that the chinese are not going to have a much tariff inclusive, higher price. that's what we believe, and that's what we've seen before. >> and that's customers won't be paying $1.10. >> right? they'll be paying $1 and the chinese will be getting $0.90. and obviously the. yes. >> okay. i just think there seems to be such squishy language around this that that's why i keep pressing on it. if you can be confident and ensure. >> right. that was pretty direct. >> but is the company is the company going to only make 90 then? >> excuse me? >> you said. >> the person who buys the thing from china, whoever that might be, is going is going to have a

tariff inclusive price that's very close to the price before the tariff. that's what economic theory predicts. yes. >> um, kevin, it's great to see you. thanks for coming in, john. >> all right. today is the last day for boy scouts of america. in a way, starting tomorrow, they have a new name, minus one key word. and this just in there is a football game sunday night. you might have heard, and kansas city is playing. so what does it feel like if you're the mayor of a city when a lot of the country has turned on you? we'll find out. >> we handcraft every stearns and foster using the finest materials like indulgent memory foam and ultra conforming inner springs for a beautiful mattress and indescribable comfort. save up to $800 on select adjustable mattress sets at stearns and foster. >> covid. i'm not waiting. if it's covid, paxlovid. >> paxlovid is an oral treatment for adults with mild to moderate

the day it celebrates its 115th anniversary, it will officially change its name to scouting america. girls have been part of the boy scouts since 2018 and since it began including them in 2018, more than 8000 have earned the most coveted rank of eagle scout. one of them is sydney, ireland, who is with us right now. sydney, thanks so much for being with us. what is the official name change mean to you? >> thank you so much for having me, john. so seven years ago, scouting america opened their doors to girls, which sent a powerful message that girls really do deserve equal opportunities. so by changing the name to scouting america, they're signaling that they recognize that everyone can and should join the organization and be part of such a wonderful program. >> now, this is happening in an interesting political and cultural environment. in a lot of ways, things seem to be

moving in the opposite direction. so what do you think of the timing? >> yeah, the timing is interesting. so the name change is a really strong follow through on scouting america's commitment to inclusion. and this is particularly at a time when inclusionary practices are under a threat at the national level. so it's a really clear statement from scouting america in the face of quite a lot of national pushback against these values. >> some people would call it wokeism. i mean, that's the name that gets thrown around for all kinds of different things. is this an example of what you would call wokeism? >> i would say that this is an example of providing choice for women, for young women, girls, and for over 6000 young women. they have been able to achieve the rank of eagle, which opens up so many opportunities, so many leaders in the country are eagle scouts and have been in the boy scouts at the time. and so now it's incredible that

young women have the same opportunity to join scouting america and can finally feel fully included in a program that once only allowed in boys. >> what did it mean for you? and to be an eagle scout, first of all, and how does it impact your life now on a daily basis? >> yeah, i mean, i am able to talk to scout troops all the time, and now young women are in those scout troops. i'm able to talk to girls and they can really see someone that went through the program and so many other girls, and it's just incredible to be able to see a new generation of young women who don't even have to question that they'll be included in the organization. and so scouting america now is really about everyone. um, for me, i had to i was asked why i was on camping trips. i was denied merit badges. i had to do two eagle scout projects, and now young

women won't be asked why they're on camping trips. they won't be denied the merit badges that they earned, and they will only have to complete one eagle project. >> um, one is a lot. as someone who sort of flunked out of the cub scouts, i can tell you. um, listen, thank you for being with us. congratulations on all the work that you've done and everything that you've achieved. appreciate your time. kate. >> coming up for us, the philadelphia eagles and kansas city chiefs, they face off on sunday at the super bowl in new orleans. and kansas city's mayor is joining us to talk about his team's quest for a historic three peat. he's supporting the chiefs kristi noem. >> lockerbie, february 16th on cnn. >> dupixent can help people with asthma breathe better in as little as two weeks. so this is better. and this dupixent is an add on treatment for specific types of moderate to severe asthma. it's not for sudden breathing problems and doesn't replace a rescue inhaler. it's

like to win and win and win and win and win. >> patriots i'm a patriots fan, so i know what it's like to be to be as hated as you apparently are right now, since you brought up since you brought up travis kelce and taylor swift, i do you have any inside information because. no, seriously, because there are a lot of people speculating that if the chiefs win, that he will propose, or maybe she will after the super bowl. >> i haven't heard that girl. it's all over the interwebs. >> so so i don't know. you are. might you officiate a wedding? i mean, what's going on? >> you know, i am. i am excited to officiate the wedding. that would be the biggest job i could ever have. people be like, forget being mayor. you're the officiant for travis and taylor. it would be a bigger wedding than princess di and prince charles be huge. but you know, i have no special intel other than the fact that after the afc championship game here in kansas city, i was on the field and i was just like standing around like some guy and then like a swarm of 100 press, travis and taylor come by, i get bowled out of the way. i know they are. the

huge story after the game. during the game, i think we'll get some good attention and a good w this week too. >> leading into the game. can we talk about the wagers? that's always so fun. between the mayors and you've won a bunch of sometimes wacky stuff in the last from the last from your last wagers during the playoffs. i think we have like a graphic of some of them, cigars and whatnot. buffalo wings, obviously. >> mexican food. >> what are you and phillies mayor waging? >> so i have actually wagered with philly before, although a different mayor. i consider mayor cherelle parker a friend in philadelphia. i think she is putting up cheesesteaks. i look forward to learning a little more about everything they'll throw up for us. it's kansas city barbecue, but my career record over the last five years or so is about 17 and two. in playoff games, we lost one super bowl to tampa, lost one game to cincinnati i got, but otherwise we just win a lot with them. but for us will be barbecue and i

will probably send her a chiefs jersey to rock through philadelphia, which i know will be very popular. knowing philadelphians. >> are you trying to get over, well, hurt, injured? that's not happening. i'm just letting you know right now. the birds don't play like that. >> a security risk. >> yeah. that's not that's not very nice, mayor, i do want to lastly ask you, what is the most kansas city thing that you can do if this is indeed a historic three peat because you've already done i mean, we've seen the parades. okay. the parade, what are you going to do different? >> you know what we will probably do differently? i think the most kansas city special thing to be could be the on field proposal that you discussed before. travis and taylor, and then a wedding at arrowhead stadium. it is like a hallmark movie on steroids. hallmark, by the way, based in kansas city. so it would be like everything we've worked on for 150 years, all coming together in kc. so hopefully we get to come back and do that in a few weeks. >> clue the mayor is not considered that.

>> at all. he doesn't have any. plans already. >> it's already fully permitted. >> at arrowhead for everything. >> to our two big fans of hallmark. yeah, that that appeals to them. >> fan to another. yeah. can't wait for that special. it's good to see you mayor. good luck. >> it's good to see you guys. >> all right. big weekend ahead. make sure you rest up. hydrate, do all those important things. thank you so much for. >> joining us. that's exactly. >> this is cnn news central. cnn newsroom is up next. >> have a good weekend. >> that was great have i got news for you is back for a new season. >> whether you like it or not. >> are those the only two choices? >> yes. you like it or you don't? >> i'm on the fence. >> this is going to be a long season. >> have i got news for you returns february 15th on cnn. >> you'll be back. emus can't help people customize and save with liberty mutual.
