by the way the captain of that team is supposed to be on the will cane shown today, that is if president trump leaves us a few minutes to talk about this game tonight. but it is in boston, this game is in boston, i hope we don't do the canadian national anthem i hope we just cheer for the american national anthem. >> we hope they can squeeze into your show because they are fantastic and their stories is the best of all time. the u.s. against the soviet union in 1980. will cane is coming up just a moment so don't go away, thank you for joining us. great to have you with us on this thursday and we will see you back here tomorrow but don't go anywhere because there is a great show coming up! with will cane, moments away have a great evening everybody.

>> will: live from the heartland this is the will cane show. looking life at the white house, as we are expecting president trump to speak soon, hosting a black history month reception at the white house. when that starts we will -- we will bring it to you here but in the meantime, we start with this. president trump has been flagged, like two signals to his left and his right. two lieutenants at almost all times during his presidency. i elon musk and j.d. vans. elon musk has been a bit of the muscle behind donald trump. with d.o.g.e go to the federal government and ensuring executive orders executed. but there is been no better rhetorical voice for america first, then president trump other lieutenant. that is vice president j.d. vans. he made news earlier this week when he spoke at the munich security conference. today, j.d. vance stood at the

cpac convention and defended not only western civilization but the way that pragmatism and america first has driven the agenda of donald trump. i have out, standing by to analyse this with me. we are going to start with that sound of j.d. vans defending pragmatism in western civilization. >> when he walks into a negotiation he says, everything is on the table and of course that makes the heads explode, in the american media because they say, why are you talking to russia? how are you going to end the war unless you are talking to russia? you have to talk to everybody involved in the fighting if you actually want to bring the conflict to a close. it's simple, he wants the killing to stop. he wants to bring lasting peace to europe, he does not just want to stop and now would have the war restart one month from now. he wants to bring lasting peace to europe because, the president

believes this and he is absolutely right. piece is in the interest of russia, of ukraine, europe. >> will: you're vice president j.d. vans defending the pragmatism of america first. right now, underneath the ground of everyone's feet the political landscape in america is shifting, the traditional dynamic of left and right republican and democrat no longer applies to the new world. in this new world, it's being defined by j.d. vance and donald trump. tommy is the host of fearless at out,.com and she joins me now. what you hear from j.d. vans when it comes to how we put negotiations with russia and ukraine? >> listen, when i listen to vice president j.d. vance i hear him speaking common sense, he speaks the way the american people speak with transparency and honesty, and i believe the american people are smart enough

to handle that and as well as our allies. they are strong and smart enough to understand that while we put america first, they should put their own countries and their own comments first as well. he also believes in free speech, he believes that if you disagree with something you should have the right, the ability and the expression to be able to say that and say without fear of repercussion are being jailed over a meme. i think with all of the chaos that some would say comes with the president trump or elon musk , of these big personalities, i think that vice president j.d. vance is a calming force in fact are speaking the way the american people speak, he does not speak over people. i think it's a refreshing change of pace for our vice president. kamala harris could never, mike pence could never, but i also think it really balances out this administration. i loved his talk today at cpac it was conversational and it was right to the heart of the american people. >> will: perfect transition because j.d. vance and

donald trump have been receiving this new world of political shifting landscape with those on the left and not really understanding their place and how to find their way forward. but also, many on the right questioning how we are handling this negotiation between ukraine and russia. i want to share this with you, as an illustration of what is happening on the right. he responded to what is happening between donald trump, volodymyr zelenskyy, j.d. vance, quoting george h.w. bush from the early 90s saying this will not stand, this will not stand this aggression against kuwait. that's how presidents use to talk and history will judge the way today's leadership is dealing with the dictator in vladimir putin. to that, everybody watching at home across america, j.d. vance posted something that i think is incredible. it's a long but i want you to read it. j.d. vance said this is moralistic garbage which is unfortunately the rhetorical

currency of globalists because if nothing else to say. trump and i have made two simple arguments, first, the war would not of started of president trump was an office and second, either europe or the biden administration at any pathway to victory. i was two or three years ago, it was trail. -- it was two or three years ago, it was true. i want to lay those out, first of all, he laid out number 1, he said while western allies, security benefit from the generosity of the united states, and they have walked away from our shared values. migration and censorship, and it thins americans. number 2, the reality is, the russians have a huge manpower numerical advantage. that results in number 3, the united states has a leverage over all parties involved in this war. so we will talk to all parties

in this war. number 4, you have to talk to everyone who started the war and continued to maintain it and finally, he said the way this current path of this war is bad for everyone. that for the europeans, about for the ukrainians, about for the russians and a bad the united states of america. i thought that right there, laying out five principles that show a pragmatic approach to pursuing the interest of the minute -- of america in ending this way forward of the war, between ukraine and russia the one well,. >> we are a compassionate nation. we would love to see ukraine win this war without ceding any territory, that's an ideal situation unfortunately we live in reality what president trump has said is that, we are not going to keep doing this over and over and over, we are not going to keep sending billions

of dollars to fund an endless war. while that might satisfy those have had invested interest in the military industrial complex it does not serve the american people and quite frankly, it does not serve ukrainian people either. they are diane, the russian people are dying, we need to bring this to a close and to an end and while that might ruin volodymyr zelenskyy's ego, the ukrainian people at this point are also ready for an end to this so come to the table, make a deal. >> will: thank you, a little bit later in the program we will be talking more about j.d. vance and the western civilization, the big game tonight against usa and canada vinod trump is hosting reception honouring black history month from the east room of the white house. it looks like he is joined by tiger woods. >> president donald trump: tiger we know and i want to thank adam and tiger and the commissioner of golf, thank you very much for being here. head of the pga, we offend

interesting discussions. let me ask you, is there anybody like our tiger? would you want to say couple of words? he's much more comfortable... >> it's an honour to be here, and to be on the route here with all of you, thank you so much. >> president donald trump: thank you. >> the chair: i want to thank all of you very much welcome to the white house and we celebrate black history month. today we pay tribute to the generations of black legends, champions, warriors and patriots who helped drive our country following greatness and you

really are great. great people what a great night -- a great nice group. i have some people in front of me every once in a while with all of the problems that are caused over the world and they are not nice. we are making them nice. i can tell you that. we are pleased to be joined in this really beautiful afternoon at the white house by hundreds of incredible members of the african american community. many of whom are making history themselves including one of the greatest athletes of all time that you just heard, the man who matched number 1 record for the most pga wins ever and a man who has 15 majors and he has a long way to go. i was with him one week ago we played, i think he has some left tiger woods is an incredible guy

great honour. and a great blessing. i thank god for this and i am humbled by it and you can guarantee that every day i'm going to lay down for the people of america. as i said to tim thank you for your leadership, i really appreciate you and to all of those who have gone before us, and all of those of you have such a great voice today keep on speaking, keep on preaching. but not just black america but for all americans. i appreciate you and my sister brooke, mr. president we look forward to working with you, sir, and carrying out this greatness. we pray for you every day. thank you god bless america thank you for president trump. >> president donald trump: i see we have another newly, i think you just got in right? they confirmed you and you did it very nicely, she is the secretary of agriculture. it's a big deal.

it's a great. -- it's great. they were all approved every one of them and today we just had a cash patel approved. so brooke, congratulations secretary of agriculture. you are going to be fantastic and, congratulations to a really good friend of mine, he endorsed me early and he was one of the best surrogates you could have. they tried to beat you up but he beat them up and they did not have a chance against him. senator tim scott. he is now the longest-serving block united states senator in the history of our country. that's pretty good. he is going to be around for a long time right?

he just got married congratulations on that. beautiful wife. thank you to congressman john and james, where is he? high john! how are you? young star, i knew that five years ago right john? i sort of predicted it. i am very proud to say that we now have more black republicans serving in the u.s. house than at any time since 1870! that's a long time. thank you very much and scott you are going to be fantastic i will tell you you will do a great job. as you know, the americans are going to be celebrating something very important coming up our 250th anniversary. when we do we are going to look forward to honouring the contributions of countless black americans who fought to win and expand american freedom from the very beginning. some of my good friends are here today and i appreciate you being

here. i'm not going to call out your name speak at -- because tiger would get bored. but i want to thank you all for being here, you are our friends and we appreciate this, you are my friend. the last administration tried to reduce all of american history to a single year, 1619 under our administration we honour the indispensable role of black americans have always played in the cause of another day, 177076 -- 1776. and enslaved black man, do you know him? answered history's call and fought as the minuteman alongside the other patriots of the very small massachusetts town, could not protect themselves but they did a

good job. prints was wounded becoming not only the first african american soldier to fight in the revolution but among the first american to spill their blood. one of the first in the nation to spill blood and a very tough time. joining the continental army winning his own freedom along with thought of his fellow americans. 's legacy will endure and we are proud to honour him today, it's a very important day in our country. we honour him. first person to spill blood happened to be him. today i'm pleased to announced to cboe we will be including the statue of prince estabrook in our new national garden of heroes. the garden of american heroes now that i think of it i actually must tell you, sadly most of them i guess all of them are not with us any longer. i was going to put tiger in the garden but maybe he doesn't want to?

may be i shall wait a little bit? may be 50 years? tiger is going to make it okay but i'm a little afraid to tell him yes, because he would be the only one that is living. tigers rejecting that offer right? under the executive order last month, this new beautiful outdoor statue park is going to be a statue part, it is going to be unbelievable we are picking the final sites now it's between various states that one it very badly. -- that once it's very badly. the garden will predominately feature and countable women like harriet tubman, rosa parks, billie holiday, aretha franklin, and loretta scott king. and i will showcase extraordinary -- it will be

producing some of the most beautiful works of art in the form of a statue for men like frederick douglass, jackie robinson, martin luther king jr., muhammad ali. and the late kobe bryant. we are going to save tiger woods for another time. i'm sorry. during black history month we pay tribute to these heroes and somebody not to simply because they are black heroes but also because they are truly american heroes, who inspire all of us very much so. the theme of this year's celebration is african americans and labor, and we want to thank all of the black workers, construction workers, and every other worker they do a job like nobody can do. and we want to think them very much for their contribution.

the contribution you have made him his incredible, opportunities on so many people. he is the father of opportunity. i am just the son but he is the father because he came into the white house, the oval office with this idea and it is probably the number 1 economic development project ever in our country. i want to give senator tim scott to the credit for all of it. good job to him. of course millions of blocks were brought here in slavery and they were kept in that evil condition for really generations but because of the steadfast fate and courage of so many patriots of all colours, we abolish that horrific institution expanded civil rights and advand america's destiny as one nation under god, with liberty and justice for all! just a few months ago the people in this room and millions of other black americans played

their own part in the american story when you went to the voting booth and restored a nice good solid government. here is the guy that really helped! here is a man that really helps, you really are. thank you very much i appreciate it. i am proud to say we received for votes from black americans and an republican -- we received more votes from black americans in any republican party. should i run again? you tell me! here is your controversy right there. you're going to see that tonight!

i want to thank a few of the people who are with us today and these are great friends of ours. a la vida king, where are you? you have been with me since day one and i appreciate it, i won't forget as she is fantastic woman. alice johnston reporter:? >> president donald trump: alice was in prison for doing something that today probably would not have even been prosecuted, she spent 22 years in prison, 22 years she had another 22 years left can you believe it? i parted her and it was one of the best pardons -- i pardoned her and it was one of the best pardons. she wa the wrong telephone line, is that true? i am not saying it was perfect but it was not worth the 40 or 50 years and, you have been an inspiration to people.

we are going to be listening to your recommendation on pardons you are going to glover and she is going to be my pardons are. -- you are going to go over and she is going to be my pardon czar. i will follow those recommendations. a man who is incredible, this guy i watched him on... does anybody ever hear of a man named leo terrel? do you know what he is doing now? he is with the department of justice, in charge of civil rights and lots of other great things. he is working, it's okay can you come up? get up here!

leo two, this guy is great. >> i want to say, we are in the presence of the greatest president of all time. he is the greatest president in our lifetime, and i will tell you right now, the democratic party should be worried because they took us for granted. no longer, we vote in our best interest, we want the same thing that every american ones. good jobs, we want a secure border, we want to pay more taxes and donald trump's doing that, thank you mr. president. >> president donald trump: he's a great guy, i watched him he was a radical democrat he became a radical republican. he is a great. he's in the department of justice, doing very important

work at the highest level, also sage steel? where are you? great job you are doing. thank you very much for being here. michael harris, michael? thank you very much. dion tay johnson? thank you. lynn patent? she is worked for us for a long time. bob woodson? and we are also joined by seven-time mr. olympian i want to see this guy, phil, where is phil? here he is thank you phil very much. i appreciate it. will you come up your first second? come on, get up!

-- will you come up here for a second? come on, get up! tiger, you are not allowed to fall, if you fall going up that is no good. >> are you kidding me? mr. president has -- it is been an honour to support you, to try and wake up as many people to the lies of democrat party, and the nonstop manipulation of the mainstream media, that's why i have my show on newsmax so i can champion you and i am thankful we are able to champion him and get them across the finish line for amazing four years. i know god has chose you, for this position. he kept you alive so you could be here today. and we pray for you, we continue to pray for you and we are thankful for your service and your sacrifice. god bless you.

>> president donald trump: from day one i liked those guys from day one. tiger has been there from day 12, let me tell you. this guy's amazing. in four weeks of her new administration has achieved more than most administrations. we brought our country back, four weeks today it's our fourth week. we start our fifth and i think we have done more in four weeks, certainly than the last administration did in four years. they actually went negative. they went in the wrong direction together we are going to be fighting long and hard for black americans and all americans. we have secured our border and stopping the invasion of our country. we had the record for years ago, the lowest number in history now

the number is lower than they were done. we are honoured, allowing people to come in from all over the world from prisons and jails, mental institutions and insane asylum, gang members, drug dealers, everybody dropping in and we have this ridiculous open border policy. they would drop in and i'd tell you the people that were affected the most were black people, you were affected the most in terms of the crime and in terms of the drugs and everything else. we had the border shut down, we allow people to command, we want people to come in but we want them to come in legally and come through legally. we are protecting american workers including millions of black workers and everything called reciprocal tariffs, if they charge us we charge them this is opening up. we just signed the bill and we are taking and billions and billions of dollars and we are making our country very healthy again and a very rich again. we want to be very rich again we have been taken advantage by.

you've been watching d.o.g.e or we have found billions, tens of billions of dollars of fraud and waste abuse and that is the beginning and elon musk has done an amazing job. i have to tell you. him and his super genius. serious high iq people, nobody is going to talk them out of anything, they are finding billions, literally tens of billions of dollars and we just started. that is going to have a big impact. we wanted to really say and i have to say, i look at this love in the room, this is just love in the room. i remember the first time i did this, my first administration, one of my first meetings, it was not this larger crowd, we had about five people in the front! we had maybe five black people

right in the front! i said as anybody else coming? is this a? are we open? i did not even think tim scott was there. that has all changed, we have the highest voters, one of the big reasons i am president today's because of the black folk and i always appreciate it. this is a very special time, it's black history month, we love you all, we are going to work with you, we are going to make america greater than ever before. we're going to do it together. and i want to thank you all, for being here, it's an incredible honour. and to my great golfing friends i want to thank them in particular because they really make a lot of money. they should be up here with me? tiger does not have to be here. they don't need this but, they love you and they love our country thank you all very much. thank you.

>> will: moments ago president donald trump honouring black history month, along with tiger woods, phil heath, senator tim scott and many more. a room full of energy acknowledging black supporters and also in that room, for espn host. coming up in a few moments on the will cane show we should be joined by sage steel. meanwhile flu season is in full swing, it's risen to the highest level we've seen in 15 years. with the numbers worse than what we saw, during covid. the cdc is saying the number of flu-related deaths has outpaced covid-19 deaths in the 1st week of february, still oddly, really no one is talking about this. everybody has been affected. about a week and half ago you heard my voice, you knew i was affected, odds are somebody in your home, he was been affected by the flu, when it comes to national media no recognition at all. of the flu.

our next guest posted this on social media that got our attention. he wrote in part, post covid the media knows nobody will care if he tries to provoke panic. joining us now is journalist alex, the author of tell your children the truth about marijuana, mental illness and violence. great to see you. as always, great observation on what is going on in the world of neurology and vaccines. i want to first together if we could just lay the groundwork. i just told the audience about the blue. don't you think it's interesting that nobody is talking about it yet everybody is experiencing the blue? >> it's clearly been about flu season, how bad it's been, and flu deaths are notoriously difficult to count. the cbc used to get them -- the cbc used to make them look larger. retrospective, we played it down

flew a little bit but, it is clearly that season. the better thingo look at assembly people are showing up in emergency rooms with flu-like symptoms and that is clearly very high. it's been high for a while. it's not that nobody is written about it at all but there has not been a lot written about it and i think the question is to why that is very interesting. >> will: i think as you said, let's say this first is obvious, nobody wants to talk about it. there's a chance right now that my ratings are going down. there is a chance nobody wants to hear about this because we all got so burned on this the last time around. so many people lost credibility. so many health agencies. so many in the media that everybody wants to deal with the flu, and not hear about the blue. >> you're correct, one of the interesting things, and i was a lot more people know me as

mr. covid locked down sceptic and mr. mrna vaccine sceptic. i am aware of this. the public health agencies lost so much credibility in 2020 and 2021 that people literally turned to what was then twitter now x and me and a handful of other people, and to my sub stock and a handful of other places and they've not gotten that could ability back. before covid hit, it was very clear in the public health community what we should do if a pandemic hits. even a bad one. i can tell you that will be were supposed to do was go on with our lives. not make a big deal out of it, even in the case of a severe pandemic. there was never any consideration of lockdown or school closures. that is basically what we are doing now. i think the media recognizes places like "the new york times"

, all these places that went crazy because they were trying to punish donald trump in 2020. it's clearly a lot of what was happening plus there was a lot of panic which was mostly unfounded. even if they talk about what we are nondoing now, even if they endorse that, and makes them look bad because it reminds everybody of how crazy they went five years ago. >> will: let's go back to your question. why? why make the flu be on the rise? post covid i don't think there are such thing as an irresponsible question. i think we should always have an open mind. if you are sitting at home saying, was it another man-made virus unleashed by china? i don't think that is inappropriate. i don't think it's true but we should consider every possibility after five years of yelling any possibility that does not fit the benign possibility is a conspiracy. with that, you have a theory end by the way it is not just a theory because you have a study that has been published about why the theory might be on the rise. it's come out of yale by the

way, it suggests that all of the mrna covid shots might have now done something to suppress our immune system. >> so let's be clear. i don't want to scare people to got the mrna vaccinations personally i did not get the vaccine. sometimes people ask me about that so i want to be clear. my family, my children did not get the mrna vaccine so not coming out this from point of view of fear. that study showed that in some people, who came to the scientists and said we have what we are calling post vaccine syndrome of some kind. some autoimmune problem that happened after being vaccinated with the mrna. these people had health effects. the scientists have looked at it and they found two very concerning things. one is that some of these people seem to be continuing to have spiked protein which is what the

vaccine makes your body make. in their blood for up to two years after their last vaccination. nobody really has a good explanation for that at all. the simplest explanation is somehow our body continues to make protein which it should not be doing which absolutely is contrary to what was promised by dr. and other people in 2021. then the second thing that is happening, some people are having abnormal t cell characteristics. so the t cell is the immune system cell in your body that fights infection, once infection gets pastor anybody's. this is crucial for you to stay healthy. ultimately the t sales -- the t cell's got ravaged and most of the time they die. now they don't anymore because

we have good drugs but that is what hiv did you people particularly in the 1980s and 1990s of the question is, why are these people having these immune system changes? i don't think the scientists have an answer, that only anybody has an answer for that now. we need more evidence, but it is odd that suddenly we are in a terrible flu season, about a virus system and all of these bad of virus seasons and three years ago we gave people a ton of mrna and that does seem to have some impact on some people. >> will: and it's worthy of exploration and asking honest questions. you point out in that some people, there has been prolonged spiked protein, and some people there has been t cell a depletion. is that worthy of further investigation? and maybe it lends to the question of why we have such a bad season, we all experienced but not talking about.

when it comes to the flu. alex, you can check them out on sub stock, we have been trying to make this work for a couple days it's always hard to juggle the puzzle of the show and the president of the united states dumps on any given moment but i'm happy we made it happen. thank you. >> it was a pleasure i hope we can do it again. >> will: now to this. team usa looking to make their own miracle on ice tonight, during the finals of the formation face-off and they are getting inspiration from the captain of america's 1980 olympic hockey team. mikey read leoni's here, two dallas star legend joined by stanley cup legend mike mcdonnell. and one of the current legends all the recently retired superstar joe pavel ski, all of

>> will: president trump posted a blog history event at the white house, somebody he was in the room and got a shadow from the president, host of the sage steal the show and she joins me now. how are you? >> i am great, good to talk to you. >> will: tell me what it was like in the room? a lot of energy coming to the television? >> a lot of energy that is the best word for it. first of all i did not know that tiger woods was going to show up and as soon as he walked out there with donald trump i thought, my goodness what is happening in this country? the crowd went wild and there are so many emotions running >>reporter: at the moment because, sadly it has taken

courage for so many conservatives in general to come out of the closet, so to speak, but in particular for black people, black conservatives and black athletes. it was really to me very special. to see tiger woods walk out there with the president with freedom showing brightly. adam scott was there is interesting to hear, many boos when the ceo of pfizer was introduced but otherwise, it was a very positive environment and i tried to post on my instagram but my wi-fi does not work. it was cool when they walked in and i took the camera and i panned behind me because it was hundreds and hundreds of black americans there absolutely don't care about race. they are just here at the white house because they love america and they love with this president is doing. it's almost like an emotional scene. >> will: i loved hearing that from new secretary. i intend to do well for black america but i intend to do well for all of america. that was the message. by the way, did not know body builder build support of the president of says.

>> there are so many people and you would say, really? i've seen on social media everybody is so glad to be here and so much excitement for what we are seeing right now and how every single day there is lots of news to report from this very stand here at fox news about what the president is doing to make america great again and it is certainly cliche, it's an acronym but it is legit -- legitimate. >> will: was that you that started that? >> no i was a follower with that but they are excited because of the future of this country, the long term future not the next four years. >> will: well, i appreciate you bringing that up like out -- about courage and people coming out to show their support. and to highlight the courage it takes for black americans. i know personally how much

courage you have shown throughout the last five or 10 years. of your career and just do as an american i appreciate you think you for joining us. >> and congratulations on the show, so well deserved. >> will: i look forward to having a longer conversation with you. now to another big event, usa, versus canada. maybe not this time in a tariff war, maybe not this time for an annexation of the 51st state but, on the ice! for the finals of the four nations face-off. it's been a showstopper, it is the hockey showdown of the decade. this match up has become bigger than hockey. it's about pride, patriotism, country. we already heard the canadian fans view our national anthem during the first matchup but just today president trump called a team usa to wish them luck. the team also got inspiration from the 1980 olympic hockey team captain. they were told when you put the usa jersey on that it's the

greatest thing you can have. joining me now is not only olympic gold when medallist michael ruse leoni, is the 1999 stanley cup champion and, i don't know how many time team usa member, 11 times i think and another team usa member san jose sharks and dallas star superstar joe. great to have you on the show thank you. >> thank you. >> will: mike, let's start with you. you gave the team, you talked to the team you've worn the jersey, you've won the gold. what did you have to say, what do they need to know tonight? >> i just talked about embracing the moment. this is a game that he will remember for the rest of our lives. any time you put a usa jersey on it's a special feeling. you were not playing with the montreal canadiens, you are playing for your country and i just want to give them my opinion regarding that. i did not have to tell them anything they knew from the start. how important it is to put the

jersey on and like i said i kind of reiterated the fact that this is a special time in your life, not many people get an opportunity to do what they are able to do. and enjoyed and embrace it. >> will: mike, earlier today i had the chance to speak with lexie lawless, i asked him about this, i said what does it feel like to put on the usa jersey? as compared to any club you've ever played for? mike you are a legend in dallas, what is the end of minnesota and across america. what is a like to put on that team usa jersey? >> certainly it's an honour like mike said there is a lot of pride and a lot of honour representing your country and you want to quell there and do the best you can and help the team win and you collaborate with some of the other best usa players in the country and you have an opportunity. i had great guys i looked up to, obviously mike what he did in 1980 was a pivotal moment for us

as kids and having an opportunity and 96 to do the same in the world cup. those guys were all big heroes of hours. to have the chance to play with them and kind of set a standard and hope that everybody behind us gets to follow and do the same thing. it's an exciting time and i cannot wait for tonight. >> will: a couple weeks ago we watched the stars play, honouring joe pawlowski and i got to meet joe and i said to him that night, feel more like a san jose sharks or dallas star? he gave me an answer and i don't have to share it was very political but it was an awesome answer! the question now is, where it is putting on that usa jersey compare? >> it's the best. it's incredible. these guys came before me. laid out the groundwork for all of that and growing up that is where you want to get to. you get to the nhl and anytime there is a season, it's a best

am best olympic world cup, it's in the back of your mind from training camp. i was fortunate enough to play in the 2010 olympics in vancouver. and 2016 world cup and it was one of the biggest honours i had going in there. i will always remember that game against canada and vancouver in 2010. we played they are and for the gold medal and we lost in overtime. still one you would never if -- you would never fully get over believing that city that day, the energy that was in that building, in the city, it's a game that you just could never get over. to be lucky enough to be a part of it, and everything you could take from those games really helped me throughout my career and just a tremendous honour to put on the usa journey and try to represent the best you can. >> will: now was the point in the interview will it tell my producers i want you to drop a canadian hockey player into the

interview, see how these three guys react. and let the trash talk start. and fortunately all the canadians were not ready to jump on the show today. i'm going to go quickly to all three of you, i will start with you captain . you were standing on the ice, they view the american national anthem, you do what makes you feel like what? >> i was very disappointed. in that situation. i think again it's a hockey game. it is nothing to do with politics. 1980 was different we played the soviets and it was a big battle from a political standpoint. this is two great countries, two proud countries and great hockey players that come from both countries. i hope we don't hear anything like that tonight. >> will: but if it does, you would drop the gloves like the brothers right? [laughter] >> sports in general there is doing all the time.

-- there is a booing all the time. i believe it in sports, they are so well respected. it's kind of like a safe space. you go to a game in buffalo with two american games playing and they played the canadian anthem because fans are there, it's how much we respect each other. as players and teammates we respect to that. definitely, it adds to that and the spirit of the story line and i could not love any more than what... >> will: i know there is a brotherhood and it is all cross borders and hockey. mike, we have 10 seconds, who wins usa or canada? >> oh, boy,, we have to go with usa. i lived and played hockey in prince albert, saskatchewan, so i know how passionate canadian fans are
