>> ainsley: everything is okay with you are house? >> everything is okay. thankfully that can't be said for a lot of people. it has been real devastating out there and unbelievable to see the first responders, firemen, cops, national guard go out there and help people in serious need. it -- go to soccer practice with my daughter, three girls lose their house. it has affected a lot of people from every different kind of background so it is a terrible tragedy and hopefully we learn from this experience and how to prepare for it next time. >> brian: how much would you like to strangle a looter? >> i sat at my house waiting for them. >> brian: look forward tower coverage on sunday. >> lawrence: a big game on sunday on fox. see you tomorrow. >> bill: got two weeks to talk about that game and we will. cleaning house meanwhile at the

d.o.j., the department under president trump firing prosecutors who worked with the special counsel jack smith. acting a.g. saying they can't be trusted under donald trump. good morning, everybody. that's where we begin. dana has the day off. i'm bill hemmer. >> martha: hi, everybody. this is "america's newsroom" as you can see dana is off and i'm here. we started 15 years ago bill and i started doing "america's newsroom" together and we did that for seven years. >> bill: we did. >> martha: time flies, doesn't it? a big story this morning. the department of justice terminating more than a dozen prosecutors who worked under jack smith who is no longer there. so the agency saying they played a significant roles in prosecuting president trump and can't be trusted to carry out his new agenda. now the prosecutors investigated trump for the retention of

classified documents as well as his election interference cases. >> bill: the president and allies say that investigation was weaponized, something he promised during the campaign he will not tolerate during a second term. >> welcome to donald trump 2.0. he has four years to execute the job the american people sent him to washington, d.c. to do. and man, is he doing it? >> martha: david spunt joins us live from washington on all of this. hi, david. >> good morning. these are all career prosecutors fired via a letter, email letter via the acting attorney general james mchenry. d.o.j. source says it is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government. the fact they were reprimanded by the current d.o.j. not surprising. president trump and allies tell graphed that he had problems with jack smith's team. what is surprising these prosecutors were just fired. not reassigned but told to get out of the building. since they're career prosecutors

they are afforded civil service protections and usually simply be reassigned to another part of the d.o.j. that's happened already in other department sections. these people were told to just leave. what's not clear if they will sue to get their jobs back. in a statement d.o.j. official says acting attorney general mchenry made this decision because he did not believe these officials could be trusted to implement the president's agenda because of their significant role in prosecuting the president. smith resigned earlier this month and appointed special counsel by merrick garland in 2022. he tried to take the president to trial but lost both of those battles. speaking of firing, the president meaning president trump over the weekend fired 17 inspectors general across the government. one of the survivors, this man right here, michael horowitz, the department of justice inspector general. the author of the report that explained much of the russia

investigation during trump's first presidency. that happened in 2019. martha and bill. >> martha: thank you very much. >> bill: byron york joins us now. good morning. read a line from "politico." you can tell us how you interpret this. the headline. trump's d.o.j. already feels like a wholesale politically inspired demolition. the quote. it feels like a non-violent war. it's just wild. everybody is sitting ducks these days and these people have no power or control of the situation. people are just in a state of shock and devastated. it is unlike anything i've ever seen. the question is it retribution or the right move under trump 2.0? >> as far as these jack smith lawyers are concerned, this is an absolutely unique, unprecedented situation. until very recently, these lawyers were working to indict, to try, convict and imprison the

current president of the united states. and they were privy to the legal strategies of the prior administration to do that. it's an extremely weird situation and it seems really kind of a prudent idea that they should actually leave given what has gone on. now, david spunt just suggested there will be a civil service fight and they are going to treat these lawyers as if they were just working in the environmental division or something like that. this is an extremely unique situation of people who were attempting to imprison the current president of the united states. >> martha: absolutely. it seems like the unique nature of the work that they were doing, which as you say is totally unprecedented, puts them in a difficult situation. it also i think sheds light on how much focus and how much time and energy the entire department was putting into these cases. especially when you look at the fact that christopher wray when he testified said that china was the biggest threat.

you look at the terrorists who have come in across the southern border and it is pretty clear they want there to be a new focus that maybe these folks would not be necessarily geared for. >> obviously the biden outgoing biden justice department recognized that the fact that donald trump was elected president of the united states put an end to their investigation. but you are right, it was a very, very big deal. there was no bigger deal than what was going on. if you go back and look at what jack smith, who himself has quit, and these lawyers were doing is they were absolutely racing to try to put donald trump on trial before the election. they would never admit that they were doing it to try to beat the election deadline because that was against justice department rules. but that's what they were doing. so again this is such a unique

situation. it seems that their position in the justice department now is really pretty untenable. >> bill: tomorrow at this time we'll be knee deep in hearings and these are some big ones, robert kennedy, tulsi gabbard and kash patel to lead the f.b.i. some topics that will come up are the following. catholics categorized as domestic terrorists. pro-life activists, parents at school board meetings. russia collusion and the list doesn't end there. what are you listening for? and does kash patel get confirmation? >> yeah, i think of these three very problematic nominations, patel, gabbard and kennedy junior, i think patel has the best chance of them because he is a republican. there are a lot of republicans in the senate and in the house as well, doesn't get a say in confirmation but a lot of support on capitol hill for kash

patel. they support what patel did when he was working for devin nunes when he was chairman of the house intelligence committee. they were investigating this internal probe against donald trump, against the trump campaign that has now become known as the russia hoax. patel was really a leading edge of trying to uncover what the f.b.i. and the obama administration and the intelligence agencies were doing targeting donald trump and his campaign. so my feeling is there is a lot of republican appreciation for patel for having done that and i think that he will actually have an easier go of it because he is a republican. has partisan support as opposed to somebody like kennedy who has irritated some democrats with his vaccine positions but also irritated some republicans with his pro-choice positions. so it is a more difficult

situation for him, i think. >> dana: byron, thank you very much. a lot to look forward to this week. good to see you. brand-new video of a criminal migrant being taken into custody in new york city this morning. president trump's immigration crackdown on full swing since the inauguration more than 4,000 migrants have been arrested. trump says it is full steam ahead. >> president trump: we're tracking down the illegal alien criminals and detaining them and throwing them the hell out of our country. we have no apologies and we are moving forward very fast. >> martha: illegal migrant encounters are falling dramatically. down by more than half since president biden's last day in office. peter doocy live at the white house with more on that. >> you have the video of a new ice raid. you know who took it or who posted it? the new dhs secretary kristi noem around for a right along in

new york city today. she posted this video of them rounding up illegal immigrants on their target list before dawn in new york city. she also posted a photo wearing a dhs flack jacket briefing ice agents posting some pretty high numbers. they made 1,179 arrests and lodgeed 853 detainers. that means the people they arrest can be held for up to 48 hours while the feds sort out their immigration statuses. something that has been happening a lot since last week in chicago as well. >> we're in a difficult situation here in chicago because a lot of the targets we're looking at were previously arrested by local or state authorities and place ed holds on many of them and released from a facility into the communities again. >> at the border just 582 illegal crossings yesterday. none of the nine sectors broke 200 crossings. our colleague bill melugin who

keeps tabs on these things said he has never seen numbers that low compared to the 1200 to 1400 a day during biden as last week in office. >> president trump: we've made it clear to every country that they will be taking back our people that we're sending out, the crimeinalities, illegal aliens coming from their countries. we're taking them back. they'll take them back fast. if they don't that he will pay a high economic price and install massive tariffs. it will be placed on them and other sanctions. >> president trump's first week back has brought an immigration policy that put pressure on migrants arriving at the southern border and other countries receiving repatriation flights in higher numbers. now we wait to see how long it can work like that. martha. >> martha: thank you, peter. >> bill: good question at the end. we're also awaiting a senate vote to confirm sean duffy as secretary of transportation.

that should go through. expected to get bipartisan support on that vote. after the commerce committee voted unanimously to advance his nomination. yesterday the senate voted to confirm scott bessent as treasury secretary. one of his big jobs will be working with congress to extend the trump tax cuts and that will not be an easy lift in d.c. this year. 12 past now. there is this. >> i think it's -- we have a president that prioritizes american national security. how we can make sure americans at home are safe. >> bill: president trump signs a stack of e.o.s to shake things up at the pentagon and scrap what he calls woke policies there. wants to end them all. orders a u.s. version of israel's iron dome as well. we'll show you that and talk to joey jones about it in a moment coming up. >> dana: the fat trimming begins in washington after the administration is reportedly putting a temporary stop on all federal financial aid to take a

closer look at where all the money goes. just figure out what is going on and they'll reopen some of it. >> bill: what's up with the canal? ted cruz holding a hearing on the panama canal after president trump wants to take it over. we'll let you know how it goes momentarily.

>> fully support removing d.e.i. inside the pentagon. reinstating troops who were pushed out because of covid mandates. iron dome for america. this is happening quickly and as the secretary of defense it is an honor to salute smartly. >> bill: defense secretary pete hegseth.

walking into the pentagon with the sweeping change at the pentagon talking about some executive orders in a moment. arm services shake-up. trump campaigned on this. show you the board what he has done thus far. the executive orders signed yesterday. a lot of it deals with d.e.i. reinstate military members forced out by vaccine mandate. eliminate d.e.i. get rid of it in the military and eliminate gender radical list many in the military getting back to male and female. watching over time a mandate to the american iron dome based on what the israelis have done. a lot of american technology has helped go into that technology in the iron dome in israel. this is how it works. proved to be very effective for the israelis when you have rockets from the north, rockets out of gaza as we had watched for the past year and a half and

rockets still today out of yemen. fewer today but it has been a problem for a year. the threat missile fired from an enemy position. this is what is key for the israelis. radar detects whether or not the missile will land on a city, or shh village or water. if it's in the water they don't fire and let it land in that particular part of the country. the control center if they do sense this is headed toward a population center will activate some of these missiles that go and intercept the missile. this is what trump wants to do not for a tiny country like israel but for the entire united states. it is a big challenge. we'll see how it goes. martha, back to you. >> martha: for more on president trump's proposed iron dome defense system joey jones is a retired marine bomb technician and great to have you with us on this. the obvious first question is what bill hinted at at the end

there, which is that israel is the the size of one of our smallest states, rhode island or new jersey and obviously we're a very big country. how would this work? >> first of all, we don't have to do it across every square mile of this country. you look at a map of population density. a lot of places like montana and wyoming. this is a big undertaking. the iron dome is short to medium range defense. mainly rockets, small projectiles, mortars, artillery, stuff like that. david's sling, medium to long range and the aero system that is long range. what secretary hegseth is talking about and president signed the order is defending hypersonic missiles. we can't develop them but russia and china has that and quad cop

cop tears that are hard to point out. the mission side developing things to go up in the air and take down a rocket or missile . we can do that all day. it's developing the technology to be discerning if it can hit something important or predict where it will be especially in the drones. interesting and something that will take a lot of time to develop the technology to do. we've rested on our laurels. canada and mexico, we're okay. drones in new jersey. we don't know the origin of. terrorists coming across the northern and southern border and now having to say we're maybe not as safe here in the homeland as we think we are. do you think 25 years after 9/11 that would be a no-brainer. thankfully this administration understands it. >> martha: president trump on the iron dome issue. >> president trump: to immediately begin the construct

of the state-of-the-art iron dome missile defense shield to protect americans. we protect other countries but we don't protect ours. when ronald reagan wanted to do it many years ago. we didn't have the technology then. it was a concept. now we have phenomenal technology. the united states is entitled to that and everything will be made here in the usa, 100%. >> martha: one of the things that comes to mind is the extraordinary success level of the israeli iron dome system. reports of thousands of missiles, and rockets as you pointed out that are deflected. it works extraordinarily well. it is stunning actually how few actually get through. but you also just touched on the issue of hypersonics, which we are behind on. that they have the ability, these newer missiles and rockets, they have the ability to target seek. to change direction. to get around things.

talk to us about that. >> we can develop a missile that can go really fast hypersonic but to go that fast and be guided is the the part that we're working on. i think something like elon musk company losing the name of it at the moment. those types of private companies developing tech noll gill for other reasons are going to get rolled into this in a very positive way. the problem with northern virginia there and the defense contract industry is when it works and you can sell a lot of it why change quote. the mom and pop or garage working out of your garage defense industry ideas may have a chance to come to fruition in a big way. it's all about technology. when you look at israel they know where the rockets and missiles can be fired from and pinpoint and keep an eye on it. our country is huge and enemies vast and oceans on each side are vast. these things will be fired from ships and submarines and underwater and air drones and the idea we know where they're

coming from before they get here is probably something that doesn't quite exist yet. >> martha: everything is getting shaken up. people coming up with great outside of the defense industry have a thought at getting those ideas through to the people who can execute them. joey jones, as always, good to see you. thank you so much. >> bill: nice to see you, joey. 24 past. get ready opening bell. moments away on wall street. tech stocks trying to rebound after a chinese startup sent investors scrambling in a big way, 600 billion on paper. ist adds up, doesn't it? president trump speaking to house republicans at their annual retreat. how they plan to pass a sweeping agenda with narrow majorities in congress. talk to the conference chairwoman how difficult this might be in a moment. >> the days of america being

>> president trump: the release of deep seek a.i. from a chinese company should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser focused on competing to win. we have the greatest scientists in the world. under the trump administration we're going to unleash our tech companies and we are going to dominate the future like never before. >> bill: that was the president last night. here he is the the big board as of today. for the dow 30 we're down and treading water. but it was a shaker yesterday when the chinese unveiled this deep seek a.i. system that got the attention of the "new york post." ute it up there. red alert. chinese a.i. sputnik moment sparks panic u.s. is falling behind, stocks crash. take a breath. we aren't sure of this.

smart folks i talked to last night saying we're still trying to understand it. nvidia is trading a little higher up 3 1/2 or four points. all is not lost. what is your view right now? >> >> martha: how much can we trust when china tell us how much they spent on it and how facet is. the excitement over this getting pooh emotion to download it and does it cause a security threat for people concerned about things like tiktok. i will get a take on it this afternoon. a lot of questions raised about it today. if nothing else it is a huge wake-up call we have to win this race. >> bill: brian brenberg has a ton of thoughts and come up next hour and let you know what we think we know right now. all right. >> martha: the trump administration pausing all federal grants, loans, and other financial assistance to a large number of programs in order to review if the spending is in

line with the trump agenda. madeleine rivera live in washington with more on this. hi, madeleine. >> hi, there is a bit of confusion regarding this memo and how sweeping it will be. the two-page member that the office of management and budget sent out yesterday states that each agency must do an analysis to identify programs or projects and make sure they comply with the president's executive orders. the omb is ordering all federal agencies to temporarily pause grants and loans starting at 5:00 p.m. today while the review is being done. medicare and social security won't be affected. the acting director of the omb says the use of federal resources to advance marxist and social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve. democrats on capitol hill are furious. senate minority leader chuck schumer says congress approved these investments and not

optional. they are the law. these grants help people in red and blue states support families, help parents raise kids and lead to stronger communities. the pause could impact trillions in funding. the national council of nonprofits says pausing research and cures for childhood cancer to halting food assistance, safety from domestic violence and closing suicide outlines. the impact of a short pause in funding could be devastating and cost lives. the memo orders agent receives to submit an analysis by february 10th. white house press secretary karoline leavitt will likely get questions on this topic at her news conference later today. >> president trump: i just want to say this has been a very exciting and will be a very exciting new chapter. there is nothing we cannot achieve as long as the republican party remains united. i hope you can remain united. >> bill: they have the votes if they're united.

president trump giving house republicans a pep talk at their annual retreat trying to thread the needle on a number of issues while we have the majorities. lisa mcclain, chair of the house republican congress live in doral, florida. thank you for your time today. nice to have you on our program. >> thanks. >> bill: i understand there was a lot of pep in the step last night. there is a lot of agreement on things like immigration. the tax issue might be a lot more tricky. go ahead. >> yeah. there was a lot of energy. there was a lot of pep in everybody's step. everyone is really excited, very united to deliver on the mandate that the american people gave us. it's going to be a bottom-up approach. we have done listening sessions whether it be on reconciliation, especially on the tax package. but we're excited to get to work and that's exactly what we're doing here in doral is we're

actually hoping to come out of thieves next few days with an actual blueprint of how to move forward. what i'll share with everybody is no one is going to get 100% of what they want. not even me, right? but we are going to be put in a better spot and we will put the american people in a better spot. i think the american people are looking for us to deliver and deliver progress. that's exactly what we're here to do. >> bill: here was trump last night -- there is a big question here whether you do everything at one time or you cut it up. here is the president on that last night. >> president trump: i'm also eager to get to work with congress on largest package of tax cuts and reforms in american history. we have to get that done. [applause] we don't want to get hung up on the budget process. we just want whether it's one bill, two bills, i don't care.

>> bill: the clock is ticking. you are well aware of that. there were several house freedom caucus members who did not attend. members like chip roy out of texas. is that going to be a problem? >> you know, i don't think so. we've done a bunch of listening sessions, like i said, over the past couple weeks so we know pretty much where everyone stands. we're just now taking it from a 40,000 foot view and really narrowing it down and honing it down and we'll hear from the committee chairman. do i wish everyone was here? absolutely. i understand and i think we're still going to make progress. >> bill: might have to bend some arms in time. i thought what you tilt maria bartiromo the other day was very interesting. you said it is important that we slow down a little bit because we have to get it right. and the other thing you said is we can change the trajectory of the country for the next 15 to

20 years. is that just you who thinks that? >> i don't think so. i think what you've seen is we have been working on this and if we get this right, when we get this right, we have a real opportunity to change the trajectory, like i said, and change the direction of our country for decades to come. but if we rush through it and do it too fast. if we try and cram everything through so fast and we don't pause, we really have to take a breath to analyze what we're doing and try and project a policy's long-term effect. that's really what we're trying to do because we know the democratic left wing liberal policies don't fly. it is not what the american people want. that's why we have such an overwhelming mandate for republicans in the last

election. it is incumbent upon us to get it right. >> bill: last question. this is breaking news but i want to ask you about it because you are from michigan. gary peters, the democrat, says he will not run for re-election in 2026. is there an opportunity there coming off this last election? >> there is an opportunity no question. myself and the other republicans will be working very diligently to make sure we do turn that seat red. >> bill: the a.p. is throwing out pete buttigieg as a candidate for that seat. something to watch. thank you for your time, chairwoman. good luck, something we're all watching out of doral, florida today. thanks for your time. >> dana: former doge co-chair vivek ramaswamy explaining why he stepped down from his role at the department of government

efficiency and got candid about his relationship with elon musk. >> different approaches. i focused on a legislative approach and he approached it technology. i wish him well and we're on the same page. divide and conquer in saving the country. >> bill: okay. >> dana: two very strong personalities, intelligent people and it seems like maybe room for one. >> bill: a lot of alpha males in the room. he will run for governor in ohio. set up an interesting election back there. we'll watch that and see. >> dana: a lot of vance's team is moving over to help him do that. we have to watch that. >> bill: trump won the state by 11 and by eight points both times. federal agents conducting raids in new york city as we speak trying to take more illegal migrants with criminal backgrounds off the streets.

we'll see how they do and there is also this. check it out. >> the money that's about to flow to trump's friends and cronies is likely going to make your head spin. all funded by you, the tax pair. >> bill: trying to connect the dots now between president trump's plan to eliminate d.e.i. programs and oligarchs. so how much sense does that make, we ask you? we'll roll the clip and you can tell us next. this is the tempur-pedic breeze mattress, and it's designed to help you feel cool. so, no more sweating all night... no kicking off the covers... or blasting the air conditioning. because only the tempur-pedic breeze is made with our one-of-a-kind cooling technology — that pulls heat away from your body. so, the mattress feels up to 10 degrees cooler all night long. during our presidents day sale, save up to $500 on select adjustable mattress sets. shop now at tempurpedic.com.

>> bill: 15 minutes now before the hour. breaking news right now. it's happening. kristi noem was in new york today with ice agents continuing their apprehension of criminal illegal aliens in major american cities. thus far more than 7300 have been taken off the streets in one week alone. now the focus is new york city and that's a big focus, too. alexis mcadams on the sidewalk to tell us what's happening out there. good morning. >> we talked about it for months, migrant crime across the big apple. now those crack downs. ice a raiding areas in the bronx looking to target migrants who

are dangerous, a venezuela man arrested earlier this morning who they say is dangerous. these guys rolled into the streets of new york around 3:00 this morning. ice agents out there on the streets, dhs showing us this video of the suspect cuffed, taken into custody in the bronx. he was arrested on these charges. kidnapping, assault, burglary. authorities say he crossed into the u.s. illegally at some point and had a warrant for his arrest in colorado. they were looking for him for quite some time. leading the charge this morning dhs secretary kristi noem who says she is on the ground doing exactly what president trump promised the american people. this is a multi-agency effort. federal, state, local partners are all out there. ice raids aimed to remove violent criminals not supposed to be in this country in the first place. back out here live the raids are not just happening here in new york city but across the country. showing it to you since the start of the administration. something the president said he was going to do including a raid out in denver, watch.

>> police. >> the task force arresting two migrants from mexico with ties to the sinaloa drug cartels. 130,000 fentanyl pills found in that apartment along with cocaine, meth and heroin. border czar says this is just the start of these raids. back out here in new york already arrested a suspect who they say is a suspected terrorist hiding in new york the other day and they got him behind bars. this continues as these guys are still out on the streets now, bill. >> bill: it could go for some time. nice to see you. >> dana: let's bring in darren, great to have you with us. i don't ever remember seeing alejandro mayorkas on the street during ice raids helping to get rid of these people. we know who they are. this is what gets me. they already know who these people are. they are just removing them.

>> it is clearly we have die metric enforcement this administration compared to the prior administration. it begs the question and quit telling what the american people wanted was immigration reform. they want these illegal migrants that have come into this country to be removed because you have a lot more people that have come to this country lawfully and believe it or not it is those lawful migrants that want the illegal migrants removed from this country. 55% of latino males voted for trump's agenda because it pushed the perspective of getting rid of these illegal migrants. >> bill: a question of priorities, too. new york city in two years has spent $7 billion on nearly 230,000 illegals seeking asylum. they a want to charge you more money for driving your car in mid town. crazy. 759,000 total illegal

immigrants. 56,626 with spending criminal charges or convictions. that's the number that people like tom homan is going after. >> absolutely right. look at it from the perspective of a macro and micro level of enforcement. the macro is the broader perspective of the country. the micro is the the focus on cities, sanctuary cities such as new york. the target is getting these illegal migrants out. we want to live in a safe society. what you will see from the micro perspective in these sanctuary cities such as new york and chicago, the crime rates will go down because we will remove a lot of these illegal migrants from these cities. >> martha: here is my conversation a while back with mayor eric adams about this because it could change politics in the city as well. here is what he said when i asked him about letting ice do their work. allow ice to carry out deportations. >> we'll allow them to -- the areas we can allow them to do.

right now we'll sit down with our attorneys and see what executive orders i can do to give me more power to go after those who are creating illegal acts. >> martha: how does that square with what you are seeing on the street now? >> mayor adams is closing the gate after the horse already escape. illegal migration has reached epic proportions and many instances in the past where this could have been done and it didn't happen. he is getting on the band wagon. fortunately the progression is going in the right direction to keeping us as a 8 1/2 million residents being safe. we're under siege based on the migrant crisis. blocks away you see migrant shelters everywhere and crime going through the roof. >> bill: what do you do when the churches or schools protect them? >> how do you feel about having a violent migrant in a school? so just think about that as a parent. do you want a violent migrant in school? no. there should be no holds barred. you need the ability to go in

there if you have a warrant or not to remove a violent individual from a school to insure that our students are safe. >> bill: we talked about chicago for weeks and they pulled back and waited a few days. now new york is in the crosshairs and we'll see how it goes. darren, thanks, nice to sigh, sir. >> i think the best is yet to come. >> martha: all right. we'll see, thank you. >> when the judicial system gets weaponized, i think that's inappropriate and degrades our trust. >> bill: democratic senator john fetterman on the view condemning the poll itization of the justice system. taking a lot of heat for flying to mar-a-lago and meeting with president trump and why he says it is important for him to work with the white house. the pig skin is made in america. each one stitched by hand for the nfl.

>> martha: anticipation building for super bowl lix less than two weeks away. what many fans don't know the actual football is hand stitched and triple lined for the national football league and this game. we're live at the wilson sporting goods factory in northeast ohio where they make the game balls every year. >> the road to the super bowl begins here in this small town of ada, ohio. i want to take you through the hard work of this factory. what they are doing is creating the official football that the

nfl uses. they adorn it with the names of the kansas city chiefs and philadelphia eagles as well as putting this year's super bowl logo on it. when the clock hits ooo on sunday when work began even before the confetti rained down for the chiefs sunday night they immediately got to work. craftsmen and women worked throve the night to get 55 balls out to each team by monday morning and another 54 balls out this morning so broken in by equipment managers and quarterbacks. it takes a lot of training to work here. i want to show you something that is going on known as turning. some of the machinery they use for stitching can be quite old. 80 to 100 years old but this hand process is quite literally turning the leather inside out with just about four motions. it is so difficult that when nfl players give it a try they can't do it and they let me give it a

try. this video is a little embarrassing to give myself grace they say the machine was a little too tall for me and it is, if fact, very hard. no matter what your role is here it is important to them in the sense they take a lot of pride in their work whether it's the lacing or this turning because for them a lot of them being browns fans, cleveland has never been to a super bowl before. ada is represented in every super bowl no matter what. i'll send it back to you. >> martha: good try. good college try there. >> bill: you will be there all day. you can still try. queue is music. chiefs and eagles sunday, february 9th. a week and a half here on fox and we're getting ready for it. brady will be in the booth. it will be big with kevin burkhardt. chiefs are favored by a point and a half
