>> brian: so cool. i used to have a normal clarinet. as you know i was all junior high but you are looking at super bowl 57. of course, this is the best band in america until tomorrow's and they are up early for us here in arizona because we are back on the road and it's a fox super bowl and now we are back on the set. and we have woken up everybody in and around the stadium, guys. that is the pride of the west. and now you know why they are so proud. >> steve: that's right. hey, good morning, brian. >> ashley: good morning. >> steve: congratulations getting out to arizona. i have bad news for you. it's actually warmer right now in new york city than it is in arizona. we got 53 degrees. there where you are it is 4 -- wait, hand warmers are you serious? >> yeah. what has happened? what is happening in arizona? you go there because the dry heat. guess to be 100 degrees if not more there. it's warmer in new york in

february than it is there, brian. >> brian: listen, if you guys would agree to do the show at noon it would have been 70 degrees. no. you have to do a morning show. i have to get up at this hour. thanks. >> ainsley: are they three hours behind us there. >> brian: they are. yeah, two hours behind. i'm not acknowledging the time but i'm really pumped up. it's great to see the pride of the west out here to see these high school kids get up in that uniform. the question is did they sleep in it in order to get up, roll out of bed and get here right away. this is actually over my left shoulder outside the stadium in glendale. >> ainsley: mountain ridge high school. >> brian: that's the stadium behind me. incredible show. >> ainsley: how was last night? ible. >> brian: last night was unbelievable. weave went to the red carpet and able to talk to who is who in the env nfl. oscars for the nfl where they gave out mvps man of the year and k0e67 of the yearbook.

then we went with barstool dave portnoy. he owns a bar. he invited us down to give a slice of the younger generation how they celebrate super bowl week. believe it or not it revolves around beer. >> steve: knowing dave portnoy i hope you went out and tasted pizza for him that's what he is famous for. >> brian: i know. >> steve: we will see the nfl honors extensively here in a few minutes here in the east we have some news. >> ainsley: gearing up for the big game on sunday going to be on fox sunday night. turn from the big game to the latest o. chinese spy flighted. fbi releasing new images as the agents are analyzing the aircraft debris retrieved off the coast of south carolina. >> steve: still searching for the electronic pay load to figure out what that thing did as president biden argues the flight was not a major breach. alexandria hoff joins us now from washington, d.c. well, you know what?

he says not major. a lot of republicans say very major. >> ashley: ash. >> believe that antennas on board could have been used to intercept electronic communication. chinese spy craft was likely able to listen in on america's conversations. solar panels on board would collect -- power those collection censors and send it out to wherever it needed to go. we know the people's republic of china used these balloons for surveillance. high resolution imagery from u2 fly byes. the balloon was capable of connecting are operations. high altitude spying mission. calls on the biden administration to keep congress briefed on developments. jon tester pressed defense officials. >> i want to know if we knew what the chinese were trying to collect with that balloon, with that reconnaissance balloon. >> senator, thanks for the

question. we can probably get into details more in the classified setting. >> you can just say yes or no. you don't need to get into specifics. just did we know what they were trying to collect, yes or no? >> the truth is, we think we know what they were going to collect. we don't know. that scares the hell out of me. >> i think a lot of americans as well. president biden who defends his call to take down the spy craft once it was safely over water down played concerns of it maneuvering over the continental u.s. >> it's not a major breach. i mean, look, it's totally -- it's a violation of international law. it's our airspace and once it comes in our space we can do what we want with it. >> so far recovered has been canopy, wiring, and small amount of electronics. the spy craft's pay load which is about the size of a regional jetliner is still under water. it's going to hold the most evidence here. the state department says it, quote: is confident that the balloon manufacturer had a direct relationship with china's military. but, a source familiar with

yesterday's classified briefing tells fox news that the aircraft was equipped with western made parts and english writing, steve, ainsley, brian? on or about on or about josh hawley and senator dan sullivan were asking did america help actually build this spy flight? were our pars used. were some of those parts made in america? those are questions we want answered. we also learned that they were able to listen to our conservations. they are flying over our military bases. intelligence information is being shared, and does china know our secret now? were they listening to our conversations? they had western made parts with english writing apparently. what's interesting too, brian and steve. in that interview that president biden had with telemundo, they also asked him about him running for president and if he possibly goes up against desantis and trump. he said they have similar modus omodus.>> i don't have any expee

blowing up a balloon from another country. whether it's better finding on land or sea. it seems counter intuitive easier to hit the water. only thing we picked up was debris on the surface. we have not recovered almost any of the pay load. the other question did it self-destruct and have that capability. now weep find out we didn't know they had balloons to oh, they have a fleet of balloons. a fleet of balloons? that really tran investigators around the world? the fact is with english writing on it must have been convinced they would never get caught. number two, what company wittingly or unwittingly in america or the west is supplying the technology to work against our better interest? i think as a country we have to snap out of it. we have to realize i know it

doesn't work against the country. will high school, to buying the farm land in america. spying on us on a slow-moving, detailed way on all our military apparatus. it would be great if the president used this moment to start unifying the country to understand what kind of pressure we are under from china. because he thinks it's in our best interest to not even acknowledge it, steve. >> steve: right. one of the things about what joe said on tv yesterday and by the way that could be the only time we see joe on tv. it doesn't sound like is he going to be doing an interview with fox for the super bowl. at least that's what the people at fox news channel have said to the press. joe said, you know, it's not a major breach and then he was talking about how everybody is spying on everybody else. so essentially it's what aboutism, you know, we do it, they do it. it's not a major breach.

but it was a violation of our airspace. he made that very clear. you know, there was an interesting bit of testimony yesterday. why didn't you shoot it down over the aluciens the water depth 150 to 18,000 feet can you imagine if we were trying to find the parts from the spy craft in 18,000-foot water? it would have been impossible. we never would have seen the stuff but now how the president was right when it goes into our airspace, that's a violation, the senator says it's a major problem. >> any time a chinese air ship

enters american airspace it's a major breach. i can tell your viewers what they see is exactly what happened here. china sent a balloon to spy on america. biden administration had a chance to shoot it down off the coast of alaska. they refused to do so. the balloon spy all across america. as you say, if some amateur recover froms and civilian pilots in montana hadn't spotted this balloon, do we really think the biden administration would have notified congress, would have alerted the american people? certainly would have shot it down merry way vacations off the coast. >> ainsley: spy balloon 4 o0 countries, five different continents. not the first time over america. four times with donald trump and one time with joe biden. and that's why jon tester was really furious yesterday. if this has happened before why didn't we shoot down those. i understand your argument steve

about the water being so deep off the coast of alaska, absolutely. but could we have gotten that equipment by putting neglect down? is there any way to get that equipment before it flies over most of the country and if they were so concerned, why didn't they get the other four spy balloons? it makes people wonder why we had this to find out this information from rioters on the ground in billings, montana? were they ever going to tell us. brutal attack on congresswoman angie craig inside her apartment building elevator and how she thankfully was able to fight back. ♪ >> brian: and last night was the nfl honors. we have the biggest moments that stand out, plus, rihanna has a message to patrick mahomes after he got dissed. ♪ ♪ we are the champions, my friends ♪ and we'll keep on fighting till the end. ♪

team to 14-3 record. back to the super bowl third time in six seasons. remember what patrick mahomes and there he is accepting the award on tape. he wasn't there in person. mahomes made news yesterday because brandon marshall and outstanding wide receiver in his day had a trick question for mahomes that kind of left him red-faced. watch. >> rihanna came out and said that you are the greatest quarterback ever. hearing that, how does that make you feel? >> it makes me feel great. she is the crush of the halftime. family members more excited about the halftime show than they are the game. so, whatever rihanna says is like the gospel. so i'm glad that she went with me for that honor. >> she didn't. i was just messing with you. >> oh, man. you got me up here smiling and smirking. ha ha ha. >> steve: that was so cold-blooded. anyway, yesterday, during an availability, rihanna herself,

who is going to be the halftime show on fox, she reacted to. this she was on the i am athlete podcast. and do you know what? she does like him and how much? watch this. here is rihanna. >> that's so mean. he is mean. okay? i'm so sorry you went through that. i still think you're great. >> see. just nice people in the world. >> is he a hater. >> steve: it's nice they are having fun with it now. but, you know, when you just watched it the first time as we did yesterday. we wonder i wonder how they both feel? it will be interesting to see if patrick mahomes who now has two mvp titles is as gracious as she was. ainsley? >> ainsley: brian, do you regret what you said yesterday? i thought it was really cute that he asked patrick mahomes, who i adore, his faith is so strong. his faith guides him in everything. he will be praying bore before the super bowl.

i think they are friends. and he was roasting him. but then when rihanna commented on it and took mahomes aside, now do you feel differently about it? >> brian: no, no. i think she is trying to help him make him feel better. i thought brandon marshall really cruel. i guess they are friends. that was humiliating. >> ainsley: it was cute. i don't think he cares. >> brian: how about a heart-warming moment. ainsley take us to a heart-warming moment. >> ainsley: i love. this damar hamlin. you were there you are better to talk about it. i will set this up and brian you can give us the details. damar hamlin is out of the hospital now. and he surprised everyone, was on stage. he is the bills' safety as you know performing cpr on the field had to use a defibrillator. we weren't sure what was going to happen. the entire country was praying for him. he was honored last night with the university of cincinnati medical staff. the bills trainer doing the cpr on him. listen to this. >> first, i would like to just thank god for even being here.

[applause] everyday i am amazed that my experiences could encourage some others across the country and even across the world. and encourage to pray, encourage to spread love and encouraged to keep fighting no matter the circumstances. sudden cardiac arrest was nothing i would have ever chosen to be art pa of my story. that's because sometimes our own visions are too small even when we think we are seeing the bigger picture. my vision was about playing in the nfl and being the best player that i could be. but god's plan was to have a purpose greater than any game in this world. [applause] [cheers] >> my entire life i felt like god was using me to give others

hope and now with the new set of circumstances, i can only say he is doing what he has always done, i have a long journey ahead, a journey full of unknowns and a journey full of milestones. it's a lot easier to face your fears when you know your purpose. >> brian: on the red carpet, guys, you saw the whole cincinnati medical center were there you saw the nfl staff and you got the sense that something was going to be happening. and he, of course, came out and surprised everyone. and then yesterday we found out he is considering it looks like he is going to be able to play again. he literally was brought back from the dead by the finest of the nfl being ready for the moment and the cincinnati medical center being ready for any type of emergency. so that was pretty outstanding. >> ainsley: and everybody was standing, right, brian? >> brian: yeah. they all stood for it. that was the magical moment. if you are the coach of the new york giants. your magical moment was probably he used to be coach of the bills i'm talking about bria brian da.

won a game and crushed by the eagles. but, before he actually found out if he won, i was able to talk to him on the red carpet about the type of year he had and did he ever expect his assistant coach of buffalo and now a head coach of the giants to be up for coach of the year? listen. >> coach, a year ago today if i told you were going to be walking down the red carpet, coach of the year worthy, what would you have said to me? >> that's a long way away i would say. just appreciative of the people i get to work with in our building, the players, really the players are the reason i'm here. much appreciation for them. >> brian: that first play to go for two instead of kicking extra point in retrospect, how much did that set the table for the success you had. >> obviously it was a big play it. gave us momentum. the players bought in a little bit more. again, that was a mutual decision between myself and analytics guys and ultimately the players of we are going to go for it. >> brian: yeah. is he a humble guy. that did some extraordinary

things. wears his emotions on his sleeves. barkley was there last night, too. he started the season. didn't know if he had a quarterback or what kind of team he had. he ends up growing a gray quarterback ready to get a big contract and helped his team turn it all around. we will have more on the nfl honors on the red carpet. the whos who of the nfl and beyond. that will be coming up in about a half an hour, guys. >> steve: that's right. of course we are just two days away and there is brian on the red carpet yesterday. you know how i can tell? there is red carpet and there he is touching it and showing us where he is supposed to stand. of course that's two days in advance of the super bowl. it's going to be right here on our broadcast sister network fox kicks off at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. and that will be when the kansas city chiefs go out and win the super bowl. i am predicting once again my chiefs will win the super bowl. >> brian: so is ashley. >> ainsley: that's right. both of y'all are from that area. brian, excellent job. we know this is your wheelhouse

us right now joining us from alaska, alaska senator dan sullivan. senator, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. good morning. >> steve: good to have you. so the president said not a major breach and then he said essentially because orve spies on everybody else. yes, they were in upper airspace. everybody does it. it's not that big of deal. do you agree? >> no, i don't agree at all. it's quite a big deal. a wake-up call for america. a couple things on this, you first it reminds us of what the nature of the chinese communist party regime is they are aggressive. they have been doing this to our country. they have been doing this actually all over the world for a number of years. and then, of course, publicly, they don't tell the truth. they lie to the world. i mean, they are still claiming, believe it or not, that this is some kind of, you know, weather balloon. that's ridiculous. you remember when xi jinping stood next to obama in the rose garden saying they weren't going to militarize the south china sea. that was a lie.

we need to make sure we understand the nature of the adversary we are facing. but, then, here is the big thing. we need to reestablish deterrence. right now the chinese believe they can do this any time they want. they have been doing it any time they want to us and to other countries. i think what i press administration officials on yesterday was making a public announcement that the next time they do anything like this, particularly over my airspace in alaska. we're going to shoot them down to alaska commands military authority's credit. we cram scrambledf-16s, f

35s we scrambled the balloon before it came in our airspace. we clearly could have shot it down. next time will shoot it down. establish deterrence. right now we don't have deterrence. they believe they can do this any time in america or the rest of the world. >> steve: first time we had heard you had scrambled jets before it was spotted by the naked eye in montana. that's really cool. let's see what happens going forward. senator, i know you were part of a hearing yesterday. essentially around christmas southwest airlines canceled

something like 17,000 flights over 10 days. >> yeah. >> steve: you called southwest the management on the carpet yesterday. here is the co. who essentially is saying yeah, we blew it. watch. >> apologize to those impacted by disruption. we understand for many this is the most important trip they take all year. why did this happen? let me be clea mess sen up t om this isn't just southwest airlines. this is for major airlines across the country. that came out in the hearing. they have to make sure that they have up to date technology. two. they are not ready for winter. i mean, they admitted they weren't ready for big snow storms. they have to be ready for billing snow storms the de-icing capability that we all have and they have to be able to refund to passengers immediately the cost of tickets and staying in hotels. that took way too long. so that was the big scriewp. the other thing, steve, that i pressed on in this hearing. we always americans take for granted, you know, how safe it is to travel. you may have seen their press reports of a couple near misses in terms of aviation in the last month. we always have to be in front of the safety issues with faa so we continue to have the most safe place to travel in the air in the world. and that's america. but, yeah, they screwed up and, you know, the congress rightfully called them on the

carpet. >> steve: absolutely. i'm glad you were trying to get some answers. senator dan sullivan from the great state of arkansas -- alaska. thank you very much, sir. >> alaska. that's the great state. >> steve: they are all great states. just saying. all right. senator, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thanks, steve. >> steve: all right. i was thinking about sarah huckabee sanders. we're going to talk to her in about 10 minutes, brian. >> brian: they both start with an a. let me tell you what is coming up straight ahead. greats of the nfl the president nfl ceremonies on the red carpet and the moment that brought everyone to their feet right now at the oscars for football players and fans. but, first, you are listening in the back ground to the mountain ridge high school marching band. they are the best that ever was and their team almost made the playoffs this year. this is called "hey baby" sing along. no lyrics at all ♪ hey, baby ♪ i want to know

singing. maybe we will bring in some of those highlights. they had a good night. when you have a big comedian, it's easy. but, when you have a talk show host like kelly clarkson who is a singer, i think the guys really -- the everyday guys kind of pulled it all together last night. i thought it was really cool. good to see things back to normal. and not one burn doesn't think it's going to be a great game. very unique. usually people think it's going to be a blowout. no one can figure this thing out. >> steve: when i was talking to the hunt family last week in kansas city. they want a blow out. they don't want it close. stay tuned. because our countdown to the super bowl 57 continues. look who is coming. tony dungy and marcia fulk on this friday. ♪ welcome to my house.
