and only sean hannity. who is standing by with a full 60 minutes of fun and frolics for you. do have yourself a fabulous weekend. tucker back monday. ♪ welcome to "hannity" this friday night. straight ahead we are going to have a preview supero bowl lv, super bowl sunday on its way. let's hope for one day, as few hours, don't try to politicize the game pretty much like they do everything else in the world after the year that we've had. i think we can probably all collectively as a country use the 4-5-6 hours of nonpartisan entertainment without any political hysteria. more coming up on that. first tonight we are nearing the end of joe biden's first three weeks in office and the very

weak, frail, cognitively struggling president, he still is lost and confused. meanwhile his green new agenda is wreaking havoc on what could've been a robust recovery. today the jobs report wasn't good. our economic growth anemic. labor participation rate has gone down. only. 6,000 private sector jobs were created. fake news cnn had to admit that it is a grim sign for a recovery and to make matters worse, we've got thousands of high paying, career union jobs instantly vanished just in the last two weeks after biden canceled the keystone xl pipe down with the stroke of a pen. and thousands more of those jobs also lost when he stopped border wall construction. guess what, hundreds of thousands of high-paying career jobs will also be gone as joe follows through on his promise

and his plan to cancel all oil and gas pipelines during an explanation in anwr, alaska, something that donald trump opened up. at the white house today joe biden openly wondered where did all the jobs go. maybe you shouldn't have gotten rid of them. take a look. >> january job numbers came out today. while we were grateful for everyone who found work and is earning a paycheck, it isul very clear that our economy is still in trouble. we added just 6,000 private sector jobs in the country last month. these aren't democrats oror republicans, they are americans and they are suffering. they are suffering not because anything they did through no fault of their own, they are suffering. i see enormous pain in thiss country. a lot of folks out of work. a lot of folks going hungry, staring at the ceiling wondering what am i going to do tomorrow. a lot of folks trying to figure

out how to keep their jobs. >> a lot of those americans suffering, joe, you caused that. you got them the pink slips. you ensured their careers would derail and their dreams and hopes shattered with it and, as predicted, we are now entering the stark winter and it's only going to get darker. millions out of work and no ability to pay their rent and mortgage and health insurance or truck payment and put food on the table, and this comes as the biden administration is opening the flood gates at our southern border. not only did biden stop the border wall construction, but now he is reviving the obama era policy of catch and release. that means that illegal immigrants apprehended at the border, they will simply be released into american cities. i wonder if they will show up for their court dates. i doubt it. not only does that create health and security concerns, especially in light of the pandemic, but that also will

flood the job market with cheap labor at a time when millions of americans are out of work, which means americans won't be hired, and now there's so many more workers, and 11 million getting legal status, wages will plummet. the biden administration is working out a plan to send free masks to americans. hey, joe, you need to wake upg from your nap because every american, i can say fairly confidently, has a mask or has access to one if they want one. of course they also want to wipe out all student loan debt for all of those who racked it up. this huge debt in exchange for, i don't know, a ba in sociology or climate change. meanwhile joe biden's promised to send $2,000 direct payments to americans, that now has been reduced to $1,400, a $1,400 plan to maybe send payments to some americans.

and even far left actress susan sarandon is angry calling biden out on twitter. if voters feel like dems pulling a bait and switch, do not be surprised when the don't show up in 2022 or 2024. most of the radical socialist progressives in the democratic party, they seem to be elated. they don't seem to care about the high-paying career union jobs wiped out or direct payments to americans. they're focused on something much bigger, andme that is satisfying their rage and their psychosis, their hate against donald trump, and they have to save the planet. ocasio-cortez says we only have 12 years, and they believe joe biden is meeting this critical moment by giving pink slips to a lot of american workers. take a look.k.

>> i would like to get your assessment and reaction to the presidency. >> keep in mind that joe biden ran on a most progressive agenda ever. and now he is meeting the moment and we need to continue to hold everyone accountable to the promises that have been made.is it's a good time. >> so let us state the obvious one more time, the radical socialists that run the democratic party that are in charge are setting the agenda and they are writing the executive orders and joe just signs them. this is really their presidency. joe biden is not in charge. you can see it every day. frail, declining, weak, cognitively struggling. frankly a shell of the guy that he was ten years ago or four years ago and seemingly aimlessly roaming the halls of 1600 pennsylvania avenue.. and yesterday during what was a meandering speech, he didn't seem to know what he was even talking about or even where he was. i'm not making this up. add this to the long montage we have already put out. take a look.

>> challenging the will only to be solved by nations working together and in common. we can't do it alone. we must start with diplomacy, taking on directly the challenges posed by our prosperity, security, and democratic values by our most serious competitor, china. to reinvigorate our leadership on the lgbtq issues. >> oh, this way. thank you. >> which way do i go? >> he gave a speech about the economy and again today, like yesterday, lost and confused. or maybe as the song says, dazed and confused.ed take a look. >> just one more thing, i want to say very clearly, i want to be very clear on this point, it

is better economics and not only addressing the immediate crisist we're in but it is better for the long-term economic health of our nation and our competitiveness. don't take my word for it. just look at what leading economists across the nation have said and across the oceang have said. s the nonpartisan brook institute has looked at the rescue plan and said the gdp will reach pre-pandemic projections by 2021, meaning we will have recovered by the end of 2021. much sooner, by the way, than if we do nothing. >> sean: okay, let's compare the tape to ten years ago. he took zero questions after that train wreck of a speech, and he is reading the teleprompter. this weekend he is headed to his family home in delaware for much needed rest and relaxation. he misses his hideaway bunker

and the birds and appearing with his prepared speeches or his moments with his sunglasses. joe is definitely going to need to recharge because in just aa few days the second unconstitutional impeachment charade will consume all of washington dc with a predetermined outcome. and before passing a covid relief package or infrastructure package or getting kids back the school, democrats will now devote their time and efforts, your money, to another pointless political smear, one last great shot at former president trump. this is what unity looks like in joe biden's swamp in washington. democrats l play destructive political games and we, the american people, you get left holding the bag. joining us now, kentucky senator rand paul. i thought it was brilliant on your part, have a constitutional vote and 45 republican senators said it is a nonstarter.co i don't even think the senate should legitimize what was an

illegitimate partisan effort in the house with no witnesses, no due process, no defense brought in, just a snap impeachment, and now we're finding out there's a lot of preplanning to what happened on the sixth. your thoughts. >> basically that impeachment is dead on arrival. we know it's going to fail and it's going to be bitter andno rancor and an extension of the election. it is nothing remotely close to unity and it is a farce if they have to go through this impeachment. i think it does drive a wedge in society and people will say, goodness, how could this possibly be fair or constitutional. it only takes 34 votes to acquit. we have 45 to say that even the whole trial is illegitimate and unconstitutional because he is no longer the president. so we know what the result will be on this. one important thing we need to see is there has been a big lie out there that he incited violence. i disagree with the debate.

i voted against what president trump was asking for but i listened to the speech and i hear him say go fight, go let your voices be heard, has no one in the country on the democrat side heard of figurative speech. have none of them listened their own speech that say go, fight, win for your country. but i think that they should sell video of all the democrats and the inflammatory language that they use, maxine waters saying swarm the restaurants. kamala harris saying let's bail out these people. one has been bailed out three times and he commits violence every time he has gotten out. i was there when a bernie sanders supporter committed violence.ha we haven't blamed any of those politicians for their word or the actions of supporters of

theirs, so when -- nobody said it was bernie sanders' fault. they need to look at themselves and see the violence associated with their words. people say they wish i had violence committed against me. i had six ribs broken and coughed up blood for a year and almost died from an infection, and the thing is on the internet, nancy pelosi's daughter has said that rand paul deserves it and ought to get it again. the teacher of the year, a democrat, said the same thing. have a dozen minor actors have wished me harm and nobody says a word about it. >> sean: i'm looking at all this and not only are they wasting our time and effort and spending $1.9 trillion on this covid package. he's ruling by executive order and now the reconciliation process and bernie sanders is ii charge of the purse strings.

50-grand loan forgiveness, wow. they voted yesterday to raise taxes on the middle class on small businesses in america. they turned their backs on churches in america. they're going full force to pack the court. go ahead. >> no evidence of bipartisanship. we are going to be two weeks into the administration and the first thing they will do is extend the bitterness of the election. the second thing they will do is add $2 trillion worth of debt to our country with no relevant support, zero. we're doing this only bernie sanders' way or the highway, only democrats. so really this is showing you how they want to run the country.ay they do not care what the other half of the country wants. about 50% of the country is republican and 50% is democrat. we are evenly split. but the democrats now have finally got control and do not

care anything about whathe republicans think. >> sean: you try to cut money,re for example, 26 billion in additional money this year, infrastructure, etc. so we're spending money on foreign aid. we are literally paying for the creation of think tanks in sri lanka, combating truancy in the philippines, investing in failing businesses in bosnia, improving the quality of navy television and funding a green new deal in peru. help me out, rand paul, because that is madness. >> i forced a vote on $26 billion worth of foreign aid over the next ten years. $250 billion. i said instead of sending it ofs to these foreign countries who often take our country and burn our flag, we still keep giving them money. i would say let's build the roads here at home. let's don't build roads

overseas. no democrat supported this. most of the established republicans don't supporting cutting foreign aid welfare either. this is something president trump and i agree on, and it's also something that about 75-80t of americans would rather build bridges and roads here in our country, not overseas. >> i supported years ago connie mack, the penny plan. you have the threepenny plan. we have a lot more debt than we had before. i don't think any american, i think most americans understood through no fault of anybody else that we all got hit hard in the last year, but joe just inherited the vaccines from president trump, operation warp speed. if you cut 3 cents out of every dollar for five years, you can balance the budget based on your numbers. is it that easy and why don't we do it? >> every republican that was in the senate a few years ago voted

for a balanced budget amendment to the constitution.ub i was a part of this and it can balanced the budget in five years. i think that is the gold standard of what we should do. anything that takes longer than that is not realistic and not the truth. so i put forward every year aha budget that balances in five years. the good news is a few years ago i got 16 votes and i'm up to 29 votes, all republican, so i got a majority of the republicans, a majority of the republicans, about 20-21 republicans yesterday and no democrats to balance the budget. that tells you who cares about the deficit. >> sean: and so joe is ruling by executive order. he's basically ignoring an entire branch of government more than three times the executive orders this time and the presidency of obama.th and george w. bush and donald trump.

and then they're using reconciliation again to ram it down the country's throat with no bipartisan support at all. is that how -- -- was this governing to you? is this constitutional to you? >> i think what is extraordinary about it is that he is using all of this sort of executive force, which i don't believe is appropriate. he's using it to actually get rid of american jobs, good paying american jobs. jobs in the pipeline can be 60-70-80,000, $100,000 a year. thousands of those jobs disappear immediately and tens of thousands of jobs are going to be created, not letting whichies drill on land, they have done safely for a decade after decade. that's going to create tens of thousands of jobs lost, so once we propagate the executive orders that immediately cause us to lose jobs, i don't think that's a good way to get

started, and that and impeaching the president and 2 trillion of more bailouts puts us further in debt.hi i think all of these things show a really poor start for the administration. >> sean: coming up, oac not backing down despite critics saying she was exaggerating the danger that she faced during the capitol riots and the media mob racing to her defense. joe concha and pete hegseth right after this. these are real people, not actors, who've got their eczema under control. with less eczema, you can show more skin. so roll up those sleeves. and help heal your skin from within with dupixent. dupixent is the first treatment of its kind that continuously treats moderate-to-severe eczema, or atopic dermatitis, even between flare ups. dupixent is a biologic, and not a cream or steroid. many people taking dupixent saw clear or almost clear skin, and, had significantly less itch. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent.

can -- so far seven stadiums are being used as vaccine sites. and the nfl is offering to make as i said earlier, a new york judge declaring a winner in the last open u.s. house race. the judge like that republican claudia tenney won new york's congressional district defeatin the democrat representative by 109 votes. the judge ordered the post to b certified immediately. here's shhow she responded on c earlier this morning.

>> i think it's unfortunately kind of the spring to deny and to politicize our accounts with something s that i sat with, and it was a big reason why on top of making sure that we could clear our story due to security concerns. sat on my story as well. so many survivors here being publicly doubted.or >> sean: we want to be fair. it was a shocking, stressful experience, one that can never happen again. facts matter and the timeline of events matter. so we can fully understand what happened and make sure we protect our institutions and make sure we protect every elected official.. here is congresswoman nancy mace, who was two doors down from oac. last night she said this right here on this program. >> it was a very harrowing experience, but we have to separate fact from fiction. the facts are there was no violent mobs in the hallways. the folks who were there to riot

weren't in the canon office building. we have to be very clear and not exaggerate this experience or take advantage of it and politicize it in any way, shape, or form.hi and that was myze entire point s to be truthful about it.it >> it's fascinating to watch the shift and the excuse making, the mob and the media continuing to try needlessly to politicize not only the story and use it as a line of attack against conservatives. fake news cnn host, our friend don lemon, asking why this is even a story in the first place. take a look. >> i'm glad youu said that because i've been watching media and listening to conservative media all day because i want to hear the other side. and i don't understand why this is a story. this has nothing to do with oac or whatever. i kept trying to figure out how the people who were actually involved in that siege and all the chaos could be criticizing someone else who was involved in it because she was explaining

what she thought was going on. >> sean: all right. nobody is claiming that congresswoman alexandriano ocasio-cortez should've known what was going on in the heat of the moment. no one is trying to attack her. she is really in reality the speaker of the house, pelosi in name only, and we just want the facts and as congresswoman mace said, well, what ocasio-cortez had relayed to the public is i heard them screaming in the hall and banging on the door, screaming where is she, where is she! and she said that account never happened.h so we want to offer the proper context and perspective. it was a tragic day. here with reaction fox news contributor, media reporter from the hill, joe concha, along with weekend cohost pete hegseth. joe, nancy mace is interesting. she's not really a big trump supporter. she is two doors down. apparently nobody -- this is anywhere from ten minutes away from what was

happening in the capitol.. there were police outside to keep people safe, which i'm glad to hear. but there was nobody in the halls screaming and banging on the door, "where is she, where is she, where is she," as she had claimed. your take? >> that's the thing here, right? already you've had congresswoman ocasio-cortez accuse ted cruz of trying to have her murdered. now obviously again -- that's the key quote, "where is she, where is she." mace said she didn't hear that. ocasio-cortez isn't exactly now backing up that particular claim. to your point also, she was not in the capitol building but the cannon building, which is about three tenths of a mile from where the capitol was being breached. so i could think the question here is, is alexandria ocasio-cortez somebody who is credible or somebody who has a history of lying. i looked at her political fact file, and she was only fact checked ten times, which i find

to be a low number, but for the sake of this conversation, eight of those ten times she received a poor rating in terms of fact checked claims. two times her claims were considered half truths. five times they were considered outright false. one time actually pants on fire. so here we are again talking about her rhetoric so much, but no one really talks about alexandria ocasio-cortez's record in congress, and the two major things that stick out in terms of her legacy so far is the fact that the green new deal was introduced before the senate for a vote and it failed 57-0. couldn't even get a democratic vote. and amazon. in her district, the 14th here in new york, she put on a public pressure campaign to make sure that they would open up a major hub that would open up about 25,000 jobs and $150,000 average salary, and that is gone now for her constituents. so i think more and more we should be looking at her performance in congress and not so much analyzing her performance on instagram, sean. >> sean: pete, let me ask you

this, the entire green new deal, this is the big push, this is the squad. nancy pelosi is intimidated by the squad because she knows that if congresswoman ocasio-cortez comes after her and doesn't wanh her as speaker, she'll probably be successful in that effort. so we've got this whole group of people over here, but it's all based on her belief that the planet is doomed in 12 years unless we do the green new deal, which we also know to be a predicate for all things radical socialism, which is now being adopted and implemented by joe. >> yes, sean. and the constant to all of that is hysteria. you need hysteria, whether it's true or not, you have to feel like the planet will end in ten years, you have to feel like they were at your door to killu you. in this particular case, if ocasio-cortez identifies as y being under threat, then we should take her at her word, in that sense.. but she's almost using, sean,

the fog of war defense. in the minute, in that moment, i didn't know what was going on. my sense was that i was under threat. as a result, you need to believe me. my question is will she then go back and revisit all the police officers she called into question who made tough calls in an moment that no one else can identify because they were there, or maybe side with the mccloskeys in st. louis who thought they were under siege or the trump supporters leaving the white house who felt like their lives were under threat. she was nowhere near what was happening, yet her sense was her life -- so she shared it with the world, all the feelings and emotions that she had, and we're supposed to take her at her word. will she ever once turn around the other way and acknowledge that maybe some other people have been in that situation? no, they used hysteria and t emotion to advance their causesa to your original question, sean, climate change being chief among

them so they can shame the rest of us -- don't worry about your facts and information.mo i feel more, i care more than you, and therefore you are a bad person. what she did on instagram, whether she meant it or whether it wasas true or not, is an extension of that kind of perspective. >> sean: both powerful analysis, both of you. pete hegseth, thank you. joe concha, thank you. when we come back, the bidenro administsration continuing to roll out what is a career job killing energy agenda. you won't believe what they're looking to get rid of now. we are talking about hundreds of thousands of high paying jobs. dirty jobs host mike rowe, he weighs in straight ahead.

>> sean: now as we have shown you on this program night after night, joe biden and the new radical extreme democratic party continued to to deliver e what s a cruel and crushing message to

america's oil and gas workers, destroying what i call great paying, high paying, six-figure career jobs, ending pipeline construction and taking aim at the economic livelihood of american middle-class families. how ironic the tape we played earlier tonight, joe biden saying, well, these are real americans suffering through no fault of their own. well, you just took their jobs away with the stroke of a pen. this is not a time to be crippling america's energy independence or demonizing oil and gas workers. it should be a time for lifting others up, creating more opportunities, more jobs, more prosperity, not hurting our national security by creating reliance on imported energy. that's something that our next guest, mike rowe, has been focused on a lot, including with his facebook live show,th returning the favor, which facebook has chosen to end the production of.

here with this and much more is our friend, mike rowe. how are you, my friend. >> mr. hannity, livingre the dream, or whatever this is. thank you. >> sean: welcome to cancel culture. this has been my whole life's work.r i've been under the threat of cancel culture. i told you this and it's no bs. you do the only two other shows that i would ever want to be a part of if i wasn't doing this, and that is "dirtiest jobs" and "deadliest catch." did you tell my friends at "deadliest catch" that i'm a huge fan? i hope you told them.de >> they got the memo. they're thrilled. i also told them about your very kind offer to purchase an autographed poster to help out my foundation. >> sean: i got it. >> but i got it. >> sean: great! i love that show. i feel so bad for them when they pull up pots and there's nothing in it. and then the first one, and then

they've got to get the whole row of them. >> that is why they call it fishing and not catching. t not really different than so many other blue-collar jobs that really hold our country together, they are the kinds of job you're talking about right now. i know a lot of guys out there on the pipeline, my foundation has helped pay for the training that many of them began as welders. in this line of work, way leads onto way. and the unintended consequences of what's going on right now with regard to energy, for the first time -- it's been going on for a while now, obviously, but it is getting real and it's getting weird. when i heard the other day -- tell me if i'm wrong, but somebody is talking about canceling other pipelines beyond keystone at this point. it's alarming. >> sean: hey, mike, this is what the plan is. i've interviewed a lot of the guys that got their pink slips, right here on this program. these are jobs, six-figure jobs,

some of them paying even as high as 250 grand a year. their lives are wiped out and i thought -- i was listening to biden saying through no fault of their own, americans are losing their jobs. and i thought, yeah, you just took them away. you're right, they are extending it to all pipelines and oil exploration and extraction in anwr. these are great career jobs, mike. >> it's not just the jobs, it's the jobs in the towns where the work happens. it's the hotels. it's the restaurants. you can go all down that line. but it's so much more than that. we have to get the politics out of it. energy can't be the enemy. i understand the narrative. i've heard the claims that the world is coming to an end in ten or twelve years, and if there's any truth to that, well, we've

got problems. look, we can't make energy the enemy. there is no bigger investor in alternative fuels, as i understand it, than the people who bring us natural gas and oil and the petroleum products that are in the keypad of my computer and in yoga pants and in just about everything. we can't divorce ourselves from it overnight. again, we all want a healthy planet. we all want a clean planet, but our best hope of getting to alternative fuels sometime in our lifetime is with the help of fossil fuels. they can't be the enemy. it sounds nice but we are only shooting ourselves in the foot if we insist on framing it that way, in my opinion. >> sean: mike, i'm all for the cleanest energy. we've been able to reduce our carbon emissions in this country, and i want to continue. i'm an all-of-the-above guy. but the lifeblood of the world's

economy is energy, and right now the energy that we use is oil, gas, and coal, and we can't use nuclear energy which, by the way, would be a smart thing to do too. and the reality is that now we are endangering our national security on top of it because, guess what, putin is going to get rich, china is going to get rich, and countries in the middle east that don't particularly like us much, mike, they will be getting rich too. >> the oil is going to come out of the ground in the alberta sands. much of it is still going to come to this country. a lot of it's going to be on alains. a lot of it's going to be on trucks. the carbon footprint is going to be larger than it would be with a pipe in the ground, so when we talk about canceling more pipes in the ground, it's not like that's going to make any of this change or go away. we're on the teeth and we're going to be there for a long time. i'm all for a transition but if we try and do this overnight, the jobs we are going to lose

are not going to be limited to those in the energy industry.. it's going to ripple and trickle all over the place. i'm afraid it's going to be ugly in ways nobody has really and truly considered.. >> sean: i want to thank you not only for the poster that i got, and i'm donating to your great charity. >> it's going to be rich. the price is high. >> sean: just name your price. i'm going to get the poster. i'm not going to let that poster go away.na i want to go fishing -- i want to go crabbing with those guys if i ever have time. >> be careful what you wish for. >> sean: but you're standing up for hard-working men and women. that's everybody that i've ever known in my whole life, everybody. i'm very worried about them. >> we can't have a balanced society with an unbalanced workforce. our workforce is out of balance right now.

i do what i can with my foundation. i know you're doing what you can. but this is mission critical. you're right, it's not about jobs. it's about national security. it's about our national identity.. all of that stuff is baked in. real quick because i do care about being fair. facebook didn't cancel me. they canceled my show. if they would have shut me down, i wouldn't have any place to post.y i hate being -- i hate being fired but i've been fired before, sean. it's okay. i'll be fine.te >> sean: you can't really say in this business if you weren't fired at least once. anyway, mike rowe, my best regards to all of the "deadliest catch" guys. coming up this sunday, by the way, chiefs against the buccaneers. mahomes versus brady. super bowl lv. jason whitlock, he's here with a preview of the game, and we might take a look at a couple o the sneak-peek commercials straight ahead. ♪♪

♪♪ >> sean: on sunday the defending champions, that would be kansas city chiefs, they're going to face the tambay buccaneers in super bowl lv in tampa, against one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, tom brady. he is now looking for his seventh super bowl ring. wow! his tenth super bowl. and he will be up against the league's current top quarterback, patrick mahomes, and the electrifying chiefs offense. as always, the super bowl brings not just football but a stream of new commercials, some better than others. we'll give you a small sample of what you can expect on sunday. take a look. >> did you steal my cheetos again? >> just tell him it wasn't you. >> but i caught you at the counter.

wow! that storyline intrigues me and i was not following football until the playoffs this year. >> i made my bones in kansas city. i've got a bias for the chiefs. i'm a chiefs fan. patrick mahomes is the greatest player in nfl right now. tom brady is the greatest player of all time in football. it is a tremendous matchup thato i think patrick mahomes and the chiefs are going to win, as long as nothing crazy happens. i think that the chiefs are a better team, and patrick mahomes is at the peak of his career and brady is at the end of his career. it's a tremendous matchup. we rarely get to see a passing of the torche like this, and i think the torch is going to be passed on sunday to patrick mahomes. >> sean: my head tells me kansas city. it really does. but i look at it and try to be objective and analyze it. it is just hard not to like the

story about seven super bowl rings, and then i can see patrick mahomes getting up there in the course i of hopefully a long, great, successful career.e but i love watching both of them because they're the best that you're going to see. >> onear guy is at the peak of his powers, patrick mahomes. it's great that tom brady got you watch how he got here, he's not at the peak of his powers. he's on a team that has got a lot of talent, tremendous defense,e, great wide receivers. and he's played well in spots, but he hasn't been the consistent tom brady. i just think against patrick mahomes, against tyreek hill, travis kelce, all the weapons, mecole hardman, and andy reid and that offense he has built and designed, i just think it's going to be too much for tom brady. he's proven his point. he's more than bill belichick. just by getting here to this super bowl, he's proven his point..

if he wins -- again, i've got a lot of respect for tom brady. i put nothing past him. but if he wins, i would be shocked. >> sean: i won't be shocked at any results here. i really won't. i'm just not going to be. i watched both teams in the lead up, this is a different year obviously with all the different covid restrictions and everything in between, and i just wonder to myself, okay, america right now to me between the pandemic, between the election, between unrest and everything and now an impeachment next week. it's like the country is at a moment that i think we all need a break collectively. the gets to the issue of politics in sports at all. i don't tune into sports for politics. i just don't. i was reading usa today this week, it was like tom brady has gotten a pass because he supported donald trump.

shut up, i don't want to hearpo anything political at all, period, on any side. do you agree? >> i'm right there with you, sean. p >> sean: i don't think it helps anybody. >> no, no. >> sean: isn't that why we want sports so much. it's like can't we all just forget everything. >> and just be friends. we used do. i spent 16 years in kansas city going to chiefs games as a journalist. sometimes just as a fan. we would tailgate and barbecue and drink in the parking lot. it didn't matter what your political bias was or what your political affiliation was.ha now that's everything. >> sean: and the cdc recommendation is to use noisemakers instead of clapping and shouting with your masks on. i'm all for protecting grandma and grandpa and people that are vulnerable. what's your favorite super bowl food?pr

>> i love conqueso dip. i like nacho chips with conqueso dip. a little meat n in there, a lite ground beef in there, i could eat that all day. >> sean: what time are you coming over with your dip? i want to try the dip. i want some. all right, i'm going to go with tampa bay by 3. my head says no way and my heart says it's kind of hard not to cheer for a seventh one. and i think patrick mahomes might even break that in the course of hopefully what is a long, continued franchise quarterback career. >> chiefs by 10. you heard it here first. >> sean: all right, my friend. good to see you again.. more "hannity" after this. - hello, friends. michael youssef here.
