sunday," live from new orleans. ♪ ♪ hello and welcome to this special edition of "fox news sunday" before from new orleans. we begin with an exclusive excerpt of fox news to political anchor bret baier's interview with president trump ahead of the super bowl. bret asked the president about a wide range of issues including the work being done by elon musk and the department of government efficiency, or d.o.g.e., targeting what it calls fraud and abuse across washington including the u.s. agency for international development. >> i don't know if it's kickbacks or what's going on, but the people -- look, i ran on this, and the people want me to find it. i've had great help with elon musk, who's been terrific. >> you say you trust him? >> trust elon? oh, he's not gaming anything. in fact i wonder how he can devote the time to it, he is so into it. then i'm going to tell him very soon, maybe in 24 hours, to go check the department of

education. he's going to find the same thing. then i'm going to go to the military, let's check the military. we are going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. the people elected me on that. >> shannon: bret's full interview will air on your local fox nation 3:00 p.m. eastern before the super bowl today. much more to come on that. also today the g.o.p. led house and senate are working to get the president's legislative agenda through congress. in the moment we will talk exclusively with the speaker of the house mike johnson about that and much more. but first we turned to lucas tomlinson at the white house. hello, lucas. >> shannon, elon musk's team is investigating at least 15 government agencies to look for waste, fraud, and abuse. as we heard from the president, he wants him to keep going. >> pentagon, education, just about everything. >> reporter: not everyone is thrilled with d.o.g.e. plugging to u.s. government computers. a federal judge blocked

elon musk's team from tapping into a treasury department payment system. the suit was brought by new york attorney general letitia james and 18 other attorneys general. >> this unelected group led by the world's richest man is not authorized to have this information. >> reporter: elon musk fired back on x, "i was told there are currently over $100 billion a year of entitlement payments to individuals with no ssn or even a temporary i.d. number. if accurate, this is extremely suspicious. the usaid letters were ripped off the vacant building in washington. a trump appointed federal judge ruled holding off putting employees on paid leave ahead of the midnight deadline. democrats are outraged over the usaid. >> we will fight the violations of the constitution of the united states america. >> reporter: wednesday trump signed an executive order barring men from women sports. one day after the president

offered a new plan for the future of gaza. >> the u.s. will take over the gaza strip, and we will do a job with it, too. we will own it. at. >> reporter: the idea received a positive reception from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu standing alongside trump. >> you are the greatest friend israel has ever had in the white house. >> reporter: democratic caucus and al green took to the house floor the next morning to sound a familiar refrain. >> i rise to announce that the movement to impeach the president has begun! >> reporter: alongside japan's prime minister at the white house friday, president trump announced that more tariffs are coming this week to match those imposed by other countries. shannon? >> shannon: lucas, thank you very much. when he is now is the speaker of the house mike johnson here in his home state of louisiana. even an excellent host of super bowl. speedy welcome to the superdome. it's a great venue. >> shannon: it's beautiful. their interesting conversations going on. you have the president will share some space at the game.

you're looking to get together a frame for the budget that will get all kinds of things to the border, and in the meantime your colleagues on the senate side, at lindsey graham among them, says it's time to get moving paredes released his own framework. "i have tremendous respect for. >> johnson. i hope the house will move forward simply can't allow this moment to pass and we can't allow the america's first agenda style." the operations, they going to run out of money for what's going on at the border. so he's not going to wait for the house, he's moving ahead. >> speaker johnson: i have great respect for him as well and i understand with their engaging in. they want to move the agenda and so do we. president trump got a mandate. he's working at breakneck pace, as you saw in the opening of the show come in the executive branch, and we are going to do it with legislation. it's a complicated and complex set of things. we are going to secure the border and make sure the american communities are safe.

you're going to get american energy dominance going again in the economy and restore common sense. to do all that in one big bill takes a little bit of time. so we are working through that process, very productively. we've been building on this for a year, shannon. author last year. we did that in earnest in january and as regionally as this past week. he spent four and half hours at the white house on thursday and three hours later that evening working through the final details and we are very close. i appreciate the senate's zeal. as i reminded my friend -- i appreciate this in lindsay. about 170 additional personalities to deal with, and he's only got 53 on the republican side there. a very diverse caucus with lots of interest. but we're going to get this job done. >> shannon: you mentioned the big meeting you had at the white house last week. this weekend at mar-a-lago the senate g.o.p. team has been with the president. they've got his ear this weekend. you'll have it again maybe tonight. how do you make the closing message that what you're planning is a better road for

them the senate? >> speaker johnson: i talked with the president and his team about this almost constantly, reminding them that we will get the job done but it has to be the one big bill strategy. the reason for that is it gives the highest probability of success of the living and all these promises. we'll get it done. the president knows that. he invited me to come with him on air force one to the game and i said i have to go home to north louisiana and pick up the family first and yet the game. we will be in the suite and talk about that. he's getting a lot of wise counsel, advice, but the house has to drive this process at the end of the day and we will get everyone together. >> shannon: when will he see it? monday, tuesday? >> speaker johnson: we're going to get a budget committee market next week. we might push it further because the details really matter. remember i have the smallest margin in history, about two votes currently, slept make sure everyone agrees before we bring the project forward, the final product. we've got a few more boxes to check but we are getting very close. >> shannon: one of the president's priorities, and yours, as well, is to extend those tax cuts passed in 2017. here's what axios says great

extending those for ten years could cost $4.6 trillion under the current law scoring used by the congressional budget office. what is more likely? you find enough offsets in spending to get that number down, or the stock that maybe the cuts are only extended five years? >> speaker johnson: we are looking for the assets, and you have to be good financial stewards, because the other concern is we are growing the national debt. we don't want to add to the deficit by doing this. so it is a very expensive project. remember, we've got to spend money to secure the border because the biden administration opened it wide. we've got to make sure defense spending is covered and no tax on tips and ease of the big priorities that the people elected the president do. making the work in the proper equation is where the math and the hard work comes in. we are going to make sure that we find the offsets to do this in a responsible manner. >> shannon: in the meantime, house democrats say it looks like you're going it alone. i think this is going to be a party line vote where at least you can keep your caucus together and you're not actually spending any time negotiating with them. here's the house democratic

leader, hakeem jeffries. >> republicans haven't said a single thing to house democrats about finding common ground to get something done on the budget, on tax cuts for the wealthy, well-off, and well connected, on the efforts to dramatically end medicaid as we know it, or on the debt ceiling. >> shannon: so, is it worthwhile to get some bipartisan effort? you have done that on some big things you have gotten across the finish line, but he says you're not even talking. >> speaker johnson: hakeem is good colleague but the hyperbole is not helpful. we are not dramatically cutting medicaid and doing all these things they accuse the republicans of. we are trying to get the country back on track and restore america's greatness. it takes some real effort to do it. there will be things we are doing in a bipartisan fashion, that the reconciliation process which we are spending all the time on right now is by design effectively a partisan exercise. they've done it when they had unified government and we are doing it this way. there's plenty of time for all

the negotiation, and we will get to that. the democrats, frankly, are flailing right now. they don't have an identified party leader, they don't have a real vision for the party, and the blitz of all the trump executive actions have them in a dizzying pace. so they are flailing right now. i get it. this is politics but we are going to get the job done. >> shannon: there's a lot to get done in the coming weeks, and part of that is the fact that we are supposed to run out of government funding on march 14th if something doesn't get done. here is what congress and chip roy, a republican, says about what may happen on that front. >> they're not my favorite vehicle but the idea that will get it done by march 14th -- >> shannon: he's thinking the odds are not good for getting this appropriations done. concluding that cr, that band-aid, what are the possibilities that's part of what you have to do to keep things going? >> speaker johnson: all options are on the table right now, but are appropriate ors have been working to get that top line number negotiated with democratic colleagues, and there's been lots of posturing

back and forth. but i think we can get this job done. the appropriators can write the bills quickly enough because a lot of the groundwork, the foundational work, has already been completed. so just getting everyone to agree to what that final spending number is going to be has been the hold-up. we have time, early february. the deadline is march 14th. there's more to come on that. >> shannon: what we have seen has been executive action under the executive branch. as you work on the legislative branch, let's talk about that. many the president's early actions are already tied up in court battles. there are some injunctions there. the dean of berkeley law school says this: "a stunning number of his executive actions clearly violate the constitution and federal law. i certainly doubt that any president has done so much lawless so quickly that affects so many people." now, ideologically and politically, clearly you are in sync with president trump, but i've known you for years as a constitutional attorney. are you worried at all? anything you would voice as concerns? separation of powers, what's going on in the executive

branch? >> speaker johnson: i'm a lifelong advocate and guardian of article one. there's a reason it's listed first in the constitution. the founders intended for us to be the ones that drive the agenda. but the executive branch, the president has a very important role. the dean is not wrong. president trump has done more than any president in our memory, probably in the modern era, maybe in the whole history of the country right out of the gate. he knows exactly what he wants to do, what he needs to do, and with the american people gave him a mandate to do. so i'm not uncomfortable with the pace of this. he's fulfilling all of our campaign promises. >> shannon: what about the substance of it? >> speaker johnson: it's what the american people demand and deserve. all the controversy about elon musk helping us out, they're going through to find efficiencies. there is a massive fraud waste and abuse of the american taxpayers' dollars, and this is the way to do it. you bring effectively and outside auditor, that's what they doing. and what they're uncovering is incredibly abusive, so we applaud that. we are supporting it. and we are going to actually

codify these changes so that it is more lasting than just one administration. >> shannon: some of the things have been specifically linked to usaid. and as average taxpayers we think, that's not why go to work, to pay for some of these things. there's context are some of them, but there are important things that usaid does as well to the medical care, those kinds of things. here's senator chris murphy talking about the danger of getting rid of all of that. >> the consequences are people die, babies die. right now we are involved in gaza and sudan in providing food to malnourished babies, literally there will be dead children, hundreds and thousands of them. and china will very quickly jump into the void. >> shannon: there have been republicans voicing concerns, as well pay but there are two different things there. in humanitarian sense, but if the u.s. can provide, it's the right thing to do. but do you worry also, the goodwill that may be destroyed

and the other actors that may move in when we pull out of some of these critical funding issues? >> speaker johnson: every country around the world recognizes america as the last great superpower. we are the good guys. we are the biggest humanitarians on the planet, the most benevolent nation that has ever been in history. we do some good things in usaid. i am comforted to know that marco rubio, secretary of state, and folks are actually sitting down line by line and going through and eliminating the abuses of taxpayer dollars and defining and protecting the things that are certainly in america's interest and the right thing to do, as you said. so we will get this sorted out, but i think that effort is long overdue. when congress has been requesting oversight of these dollars, for years now, it's been hidden from us. the persons who are given the constitutional responsibility of oversight. having an independent audit again, having access to the files to take this stuff out, it's a good thing for the country and we support it. >> shannon: i'm guessing you won't give me a production for the game tonight? >> speaker johnson: i cheer for the saints all the time, but whoever wins today, we are happy to have them in louisiana. this is a great thing for the

country and our state, and we are glad to host it. >> shannon: it's good to see new orleans rally in the wake of its been a really difficult time. good luck in the box tonight. lissy had that conversation goes. thank you, mr. speaker. president trump, elon musk's mission to shrink the federal government facing more opposition by the day both have democrats and in the courts. will cain and clay travis join us live on that and more, next, from the superdome. build their wealthes the same way, you have... the fearless investor. the type a cpa. the boot strapper. the boot maker. hee-ha. but many do have something in common. we all trust schwab with our wealth. thanks to our award-winning service, low costs and transparent advice, every day, over a million multi-millionaires, trust schwab with more than three trillion dollars of their wealth. ♪ we finally beat medicare. well, he's right. he did beat medicare... he beat it to death. joe biden's legacy for seniors?

shut down the city! [cheers and applause] we are at war! >> but he's a great guy and he loves the country and he has wanted to do this for a long time. >> shannon: two very different reactions to elon musk and d.o.g.e. as it targets bureaucrats across several washington agencies. let's talk about it now with our special super bowl sunday group joining here on the field. will cain, host of "the will cain show" o on fox news channel weekdays at 4:00 p.m. eastern, and at cake founder clay travis, who is also fox news contributor. welcome, gentleman. good to have you here. if we can't get together for is the super bowl -- so let's talk d.o.g.e. there's a real backlash to this. senator schumer says this, "it's an unelected shadow government contesting demott conducting hostile takeover. it's not a real government agency. it has no authority to make spinning decisions. d.o.g.e. has no authority to shut down programs or ignore federal law. conduct can't be allowed to

stand. congress must take action to restore the rule of law." well, it's definitely ruffling feathers, putting it mildly. >> will: but i think it's only ruffling feathers within washington, d.c. i don't think it's ruffling feathers or the american people. for years, decades, they said the federal government spends too much money and spend it wastefully. that's been proven up specifically with usaid. so it's weird to see -- i think it's really revealing to see democrats stand on the law. this is there alamo come in to say we are going to defend ridiculous spending in uganda, ireland. dei plays in columbia. for this to make it the flag were going to plant, i think it's revealing an out of touch with the american people. >> shannon: you hear from people on the radio all week long. how are they reacting? >> clay: a couple things. remember, elon musk voted for jill biden in 2020. we are not talking about some far right wing ideologue. everyone wants the government to spend less money. democrat, republican, independent. this is indicative of how trump has done such a great job of

actually taking what are not particularly partisan issues -- hey, let's spend taxpayer dollars more efficiently -- and got to democrats to line up on the other side of it reflexively because he is in favor of it. >> will: i would say, shannon, they get these verbal tics where they repeat a line virally and it becomes a tic. pandemic of the unvaccinated, threat to democracy. the latest one is shadow government. a lot of americans feel like there is a shadow government and it's the bureaucracy of washington, d.c., that exists permanently regardless of who's in power. this permanent shadow government is the one now being threatened. >> shannon: when you poll it, people are always worried about government spending. borrowing from people who don't have the u.s.'s best interest at heart so we can pay other people who also don't like the united states. it's not the greatest equation to most americans. >> clay: my life, lauretta, who you know well, shannon, she said it's crazy because you have me be the best businessperson in the history of any of our lives coming to your house and looking at your family budget, trying to

save you money. would anyone complain about that all? to will's point, democrats are lost, don't have a message. we were talking off set. even the best advocate for the message, they lost. >> shannon: at this point we know a lot of the stuff is cut in the courts. u.s. birthright citizenship, all of it. they say collectively the legal actions seek to see what is an unlawful effort, an unelected billionaire with no position to long subvert protections and grab from countries, congress it's authority. hey, congress, elon musk is taking a power. president trump, elon musk is taking your power. >> clay: we have three lawyers he ran from the law as fast as he could. but you know better than anybody, shannon, ultimately the supreme court will have to weigh in on this. one of the challenges that trump

has had, whether it's birthright citizenship or usaid, they're going to sue on everything, and is going to be activist federal district court judges who say, you can't do this. there's going to be judges who say trump can. ultimately it will go to the circuit court level and the supreme court level. we will spend a year, two years plus on many of these issues to find out what the law actually is. >> shannon: it takes time. >> will: it does. a great example of this is the birthright citizenship issue. by every historical precedent and by most legal analysts, it is determined to fail. legally, constitutionally. but i'm on the side of president trump on this. i think there's a very fascinating legitimate argument that birthright citizenship, the way it's been interpreted for, granted, a century, is not the way it was intended by those who drafted the 14th amendment. the founders of the 14th amendment in the late 1800s mean anyone and everyone who is born on this soil, or the children of slaves, or american citizens, or people subject to foreign jurisdictions to all of the sudden get to be americans.

sku and it'll be fascinating to me to get the scotus. it'll take a little while, but i'll be there if it does and we'll break it down. warnings are within a democratic assessment. david axelrod, rahm emanuel, james carville saying all these battles you're fighting, choose carefully. trump's orbit couldn't be happier -- this is on politico -- seeing democratic lawmakers line up on a downtown washington sidewalk, in their view wasting political capital defending an agency that they believe the public doesn't give a rip about. they are so on their heels, i think, with the flood of what's coming at them. how did they pick and choose these fights? >> i don't think anyone has the answer, and i guess in that way i can actually sympathize with them. which site you choose to fight? which one is actually a potential victory, and who is going to be, to clay's point, the person he successfully argues that fight? right now, to be honest, you know them rising star is? jasmine crockett. she seems to be the voice. she gets more time and gives more arguments that anyone in the party.

my suspicion is that most republicans couldn't be happier if the voice is jasmine crockett. >> clay: i think it is the speed, they're caught flat-footed. we are here at the super bowl, i can't wait for kick off. they've trotted out chuck schumer to hold an avocado and a corona to try make the argument that trump is out of touch for a bit by the time they actually even stood there with schumer awkwardly holding both of those things, the narrative cycle had moved on. i think this is the flood zone move and why they've been so smart about just getting everything done. they don't have the ability of the media or the democrats who even know who the leader is to be able to respond effectively to everything he's doing. >> shannon: our buddy chad pergram covers capitol hill, they say it democrats are flailing. they are dusting off some old plays from a tired dog eared playbook. it took 60 days before a democrat threaten to appease the

president. last time they did this, he could argue long term it worked in his savior. >> clay: the crazy thing about the first impeachment, now looking back on it retrospectively, trump got impeached for asking about what hunter biden actually did. when you go back in that call with president zelenskyy, he was looking at what hunter biden did. the second ones were related to jan six. i think they'll welcome the third impeachment because not having new concepts and plans. >> shannon: third times a charm? >> that i would doubt it. it doesn't read the present or the future. it feels stuck in the past. the three of us are here in new orleans at the super bowl. i think it's very accurate and real to say there is a vibe shift. the country has moved on. the playbook from 2016 is not only going to not work politically, it not working culturally. my suspicion is you're going to feel that. you're going to see it later today on fox when we are at the

super bowl and president trump makes his appearance at the superdome. >> shannon: we'll see. it's an electric when he showed up for collegiate games. this first time we have a sitting present coming through super bowl so we will have fun tonight. good to see you guys. next, homeland security secretary kristi noem fresh off a trip to guantanamo bay where the trump administration says it is holding the worst of the worst. secretary noem joins us on that, and what she's doing to keep thk super bowl safe in new orleans, nextf of. anti-crypto crusade will be over. it'll end, it'll be done. i will fire gary gensler...

beautiful city which is very much about people being in the streets, having a party, having a good time. you were here come as you said, in the hours afterwards, and it did jolt to what new orleans is all about. >> new orleans is amazing. they use to excreting tragedy, whether that be hurricanes or what we saw new year's. the ability they have to bounce back and the way that they do is just incredible. we saw that over the last few weeks, that really they are now looking to celebrate and rejoice and not allow it happen then to hold them back. the lessons that have been learned, they have implemented every single one they could, in such a short time span. mardi gras come even bigger than the super bowl, is just a month away from now. to those lessons will continue to be in place. >> shannon: it's a beautiful city and the spirit and the vibe are still there for sure. thank you for giving us the inside look. always good to see you. joining us now from washington, homeland security secretary kristi noem. madam secretary, welcome to. >> secretary noem: thank you for inviting me. >> shannon: we know that this

is your biggest event every year. how does that change when you have a sitting president? what are the challenges that you worry about that keep you up at night? >> secretary noem: well, keeping the american homeland secure is a big job, but it is so special that the president for the first time in history is going to the super bowl. while we have been focused on security operations there for many months and have been preparing for this day, to have president trump be there just amplifies the message that a great game means that everybody got to go celebrate, support their team, and leave and get home safely. >> shannon: when you walked in and obviously there are always multiple crises that homeland security is looking at managing, and of course secret service is within your purview. we have seen many of them here on the ground doing the hard work. are you confident now that you've had a chance to get in? it is still early at the agency. to take a look that would lead up to the event july 13th, the lapses with the secret service, you've gotten sufficient answers and moving in the right direction, moving forward?

>> secretary noem: we are definitely moving in the right direction and i'm proud of all the work they do every day at secret service. they making credible sacrifices to keep people safe, and on the investigative side, have a lot of that training, as well. for this event we have deployed many other assets, as well. we are obviously working with the local authorities, the governor, his agencies that he has that he has detailed to this, but we have several different agencies under the department of homeland security that have put hundreds of individuals, investigators, military police, folks are used to these kinds of crowd control and security operations, and other departments focused on today to make sure this big event is going to be safe and that we are going to make the right decisions and see situations that could arise and get everybody home safely. >> shannon: obviously another one of your top priorities has been the border. there've been these see 11 raids, deportation. will he understand is that i.c.e. -- you can clarify if this is inaccurate -- many of the facilities here are now at or over capacity, and i mean some of the people have been swept up have been released.

i know that was something president trump is very critical of an pervasive administrations. can you explain how that is working and how you are tracking those people and what you're doing about i.c.e. capacity? >> secretary noem: we have continuous people that are going home to their countries and being repatriated. so we have thousands of beds and detention facilities that are open today. we will continue to do ops in the different communities to get these dangerous criminals off our streets and to get them home. so it is constantly changing, we are doing. when we bring somebody in, we want to keep them detained and send them back home just like the president promised during the campaign, and that he's following through on every day of his administration. sku and nbc reports that a source familiar with his thinking says the president is getting "angry that more people are not being deported and that the message is being passed along to a number officials including you." so you would be on the receiving end of that message. i will they characterize what you're hearing from the president about the capacity of people who are being swept up, deported, and whether or not he's angry.

is that accurate? >> secretary noem: i talked to the president almost every single day. when he keeps telling me is to keep going, that we are doing great, the board is secure. we are having 90% less encounters at the border. just because of the messaging and how aggressively have been out on the streets to get these dangerous criminals out of our country. so i'm thank you for that. we've got three times the amount of i.c.e. detainees that we brought in and the biden administration, so what the president is doing is incredible and he wants us to continue to build on that. so i think what he's concerned about is that, yes, it had great success in getting rapists and murderers and child pornographers and pedophiles out of our country. he wants us to go even harder and we will do that. >> shannon: you are just back from guantanamo bay where some of these folks are being sent. of course there are a lot of people pushing back on that. several immigrants write groups

has written to you and a number of the other secretaries and they say the government cannot attempt to subvert the statutory and constitutional rights afforded to these noncitizens in the u.s. by transferring them to an offshore prison and holding them incommunicado without access to counsel or any means of contact with the outside world. can you speak to whether that is an accurate characterization? and what do you say in response about legal rights? >> secretary noem: that is just bull. we are giving due process to migrants. we have done that all the time following the same procedures we always have been. but where are they advocating for the children that are missing, that joe biden lost? while they not advocating for these families have lost children to make laken riley, jocelyn? why are they not fighting for them and saying thank you, mr. president, for making sure our kids aren't going to continue to be killed by drugs and trafficking and dangerous criminals robbing small business in our hometowns?

get your priorities straight. this is not america. to start focusing on them instead of on these dangerous people. i watched a plane load of people unload at gitmo that were pedophiles, child pornographers, drug dealers in our communities, and they are partnering with the chinese to kill her next generation of americans. that's who we are putting down there at gitmo. i just think with a knot in our country anymore. >> shannon: also in that letter they report -- the point to a report from the international refugee assistance project. because you were just there, and what he did speak to this. they say there are problems like no potable water, dilapidated housing, mold, rats, overflowing showers and toilets billing sewage pay they say inadequate access to medical and health care. can you tell us -- you are to stay. what were the conditions? >> secretary noem: it's not like that at all. i don't know what they're talking about. maybe that's under the biden administration or previously, but it's not like that at all and armies are there working to set up the facilities and meet our standards to make sure we can use it in a way that it has

always been used, but use it properly. we have had migrants there before. we are doing it again. we are going to use our assets we have to make america safe again, and those claims are not happening today. i don't know what date they are referring to. >> shannon: we got to leave it there, madam secretary. we know you were in north carolina yesterday, too, and we know that meant a great deal to folks brady been on the other side of him as a governor and you take that knowledge into your new business. thank you for making the time. always great to see you. kick off hours away here at the iconic caesar's superdome. my interview with legendary coach jimmie johnson. his thoughts on the big game in the big easy, next. ♪ 'm ...this year, we are finally updating our kitchen... ...doing subway tile in an ivory, or eggshell... —cream?... —maybe bone?... don't get me started on quartz. a big big island... you ever heard of a waterfall counter?... for everyone who talks about doing that thing, and, over there. but never does that thing... a sweet little breakfast nook. chase has financial guidance. let's see how you can start saving to make this happen.

chiefs for the simple reason they've got so many veterans. they know how to prepare. plus they got one of the greatest coaches in the nfl with andy reid. they are prepared the right way. patrick mahomes, i told him two years ago and had them in the super bowl, i said, where the greatest quarterback i've ever seen. i love terry bradshaw, i love to aikman. >> shannon: you can say it because terry is not here. >> jimmy: i can say it! but patrick mahomes is just unbelievable. he makes a different speed to difference because they might be more talented team in philadelphia. >> shannon: two years ago when we were talking arizona, saquon barkley. what kind of difference maker is he for the eagles? >> jimmy: you need to ask michael strahan, because he is a giant man. >> shannon: he is. >> jimmy: and berkeley, with all the runs he's made this year, it's unbelievable. but now he's got a great offensive line, he's got an outstanding offensive line coa

philadelphia is straight, they know how to win. kansas city is going for a three-peat. they won alaska bill super bowl 's >> they won the last couple of super bowls. i heard many years ago, it's not the team that makes the most great plays, it's the team that makes the fewest mistakes. so you don't want to force the football and try to make a great play. you want to make sure you don't turn it over. so if you don't make a lot of mistakes, you're going to score points. you're not going to give the opponent great film possession. so keep the mistakes to a minimum, don't try to be the hero. >> shannon: these guys have played and coached through really high intensity, fresh off the charts. but this is the game. you're here in this party atmosphere and the entire world is watching. >> jimmy: the excitement and anticipation is going to be over the top. but once the ball is kicked off in the game start, the muscle

memory starts. this is what we've got to do. this is how you've got to play. this is the decision you've got to make. it goes back to the same thing you've been doing for 30 years. so i don't know that the super bowl overcomes that muscle memory of just another game. but the main thing, both of these teams are outstanding. they have both got great football teams, and that is why i anticipate a great game. >> shannon: do you have any predictions or thinks we should watch that you think will be keys to making it work? >> jimmy: now, you know better than that! you've got to watch "fox nfl sunday" if you want to prediction! >> shannon: fair enough. the last time we were all together, i learned a lot about you guys. howie likes to eat catch up on his stake. terry told us -- these are his words -- to run around "nekkid"" on camera. >> jimmy: don't get me that visual! >> they're not here to defend themselves so you can tell me the truth.
