capitol hill this today after getting a job he appeared to have literally had to beg representative matt gates for lead into last night. details ahead on the promises mccarthy had to make that when the speakers got. and, latest reaction to the ugly process that even included a dramatic confrontation between gate and mccarthy supporter. this as members wonder, what this chaotic start means for the future of the house. >> do all of these peoples emotions go up and down? at the end of the night, matt got everybody there. president trump helped a lot, but i also think it is them and wanting to make this conference united and work together. i think what you will see, by having this now, is we worked out how to work together. >> all right, we will follow all of this and we will be following other news, as well. a shocking story. a six year old boy shoots a teacher at school, and police say it was no accident. as the buffalo bills were prepared to return to the field for the first time since the clasp of damar hamlin, we will

look at what all this means for the future of football. all that, plus the latest revelations from prince headwork harry's bombshell memoir. and it goes far beyond his fight with his brother william. all that is ahead, this hour. >> let us begin now with the combination of a wild week for house republicans. the speakers gavel passing from one californian to another as kevin mccarthy finally wrangled enough votes after 15 rounds of ballots. nbc's julia circuit is at capitol hill at the capitol for us. caught up with the speaker today, after a little bit of running. joe mccarthy got this victory, but he doesn't get to relax for a long. he's got the rules package that he has to try to pass on monday. we are hearing that might not be guaranteed. >> yeah. he told me that today is his day off. but that is not likely considering he has this really big vote coming up monday night to pass the rules package full of concessions he made to the ultra hard right of his party. including a motion to vacate. which is essentially a vote of no confidence that anyone member can bring up at any given time. so, now he has to appeal to

moderates to try to get them to support this package, whereas the last two days he had to appeal to the hard right faction of his party. just showing you, and foreshadowing the next two years to come of this delicate dance that mccarthy now, as speaker, is going to have to do in order to get any thing passed on the house floor, any of his priorities in this divided congress. i want you to take a listen to what democratic republic representative roger christian where the told our colleague well alex witt last hour. watch. >> he started out with i think around 21 holdouts, and he negotiated one thing after another to get there by and. and i'm really concerned about whether the rules package, that is the set of rules that we will govern this congress, will make it almost ungovernable. >> yeah. and his concern is palpable among moderate members that i spoke to, as well. whom, some see kevin mccarthy now as a weekend speaker. he said, we're leaving the capitol last, night kevin mccarthy that, is that he had 1000 percent will stick it out

to keep the gap in the next two years. but, everything that he conceded is making that really hard to imagine. other concessions really quickly here. as part of this rule steel have to do with budget and spending. those ultra right members do not want to increase the country's debt limit. poison to be a big fight in the spring. they are also going to get at least three seats on the powerful house rules committee, which essentially governs everything that mccarthy is able to do on the floor. so, a lot to watch here in the coming days. >> it is kind of making your head spin thinking about it all. julie tsirkin. thanks, julie. joining me now is nbc news political analyst michael steele. to continue to break all this down. welcome, michael. thank you. we knew how republicans were going to be dysfunctional, but what did this week indicate to you about what is gonna happen over the next two years? what i keep hearing, what it sounds like people are alluding to is possible gridlock here. >> well, yeah. a one-sided gridlock is. it's not a gridlock between democrats or republicans where they can get an agreement on how to move forward on

anything. it is gridlock within the republican conference itself which cannot agree on what to do. the rules coming up on monday will be important. but how much of that do you think is going to go away? i mean. kevin has a go shaded the steal. now, monday the moderates think that they are just going to take some of that stuff off the table regardless of what it is? no. so those are going to be the rules. there may be some fights around how you get to that vote. but at the end of the day, he will get largely what he wants. and then, the hard part begins. and that is the part where i think all the reporting, where moderate members of the calm friends are telling us that, hey, the next six months, eight months, are not going to be an easy one for kevin. because the first thing out of the gate's debt limit. then you have the border, then you have all of these to other issues that you are going to try to negotiate with democrats so that you can get something passed where you're just having to fight for the purpose of the

fight. those members don't want that. and so, neither the conservatives, quite frankly. they actually don't want to increase the debt limit. they want to win that battle. so it is going to be an interesting time in the chair. >> interesting to say the least, michael. that is one word. one way to put it. let's expand on that debt limit issue. that is critical legislation that they will have to contend with. the new york times calls it the most perilous debt limit to beat since 2011. so, explain to us what is the danger here of something this important being subject to this kind of chaos? >> you are already having conversations about where this economy is headed. and, in the past when this crisis arose between the house and the senate or among the parties. interest rates were zero. interest rates now are 8% or 7%, 10%. depending on where you are in the country. so now, all the sudden, if you

start messing around with the full faith and credit of the united states, there is a cost to that. there is a cost in the markets for that. so, interest rates go up on top of what they already are. inflation goes back up. despite it starting to come down. and, the recession that everyone thinks that the latest job numbers seem to indicate that the fed has been able to navigate successfully or at least is doing navigating successfully, how to avoid going into a full blown recession, that comes off the table. this is nothing short of actual stimulus for a recession if the united states congress cannot get its act together on raising the debt limit, establishing, reestablishing the credit lengthy knighted states, and reassuring the markets that they are not going to make things more difficult or worse than they potentially could be. >> now washington post post roe,

this is what happens when a political party, you have to, your systemically destroys the norms and institutions of democracy. this is what happens when those experts at tearing things down are put in charge of governing. so this is a party you helped lead, michael. what happened to? at >> this has been an internal fight inside the party, not just in this moment. this goes back almost 50, 60 years. this internal battle among republicans of how they view the role of government. most of us see government as a limited purpose. it has a valuable role to play. but it is a limited purpose. we rely largely on the experience and the lifeblood of the american people to stimulate and grow our economies, our communities, et cetera. we don't need the government of its hand in every aspect of that. then there are those who believe that there is no rule for government and that it is actually, at every chance should be deconstructed and removed from that process.

well, that takes out the safety nets, it takes out the feds, it takes out a lot of things that are necessary. so, this is been an ongoing struggle. and, dean was right. you now have an environment in which the mindset of the party formulated in 2016 to deconstruct the administrative state has been in effect for the last seven years. and this is now, we are going to see, the full. how do i put? this the full work of this. come to fruition with this congress. those very same people have control of the process. >> you know that something is coming to fruition in a major event when that person that is seen as kind of the de facto leader of all of this, trump himself, has now lost a little bit of power with the people who were the maga supporters, the more maga wing of the group. they themselves said, no we're not listen to you anymore we're gonna do what we want. >> go ahead.

>> i was going to. say you make an excellent point. because what that is shown is that now they don't need trump. they figured out this off. they know what is in the formula. they've figured it all out. they have others who look better, are younger, sound smarter than trump on these things. that is what this new representation, that's the marjorie taylor greene's and the boebert's and the gate says. those folks are now the next trump-ification of the party. and so, yeah. trump was a non-player in this. he could not sway the votes. but, really no one really thought that he would be a player or sway the votes. because they have now taken what he started and have begun to reshape within their own image, in their own way. and that is the next iteration of this party. it is not huge to the traditions of lincoln and eisenhower and reagan or bush.

it is huge out of the story of a donald trump, right? sort of this transactional every day there at all down mindset. they now have to govern with that. and this is what i warned back going into the november election. you are giving power to the very people that wanted to deconstruct the very government that you are now asking them to run. >> to >> turn out. lead the students have become the masters, it would. appear michael steele, thank. you fascinating per se shun. i also want to bring in congresswoman mary gates gavilan, democrat from pennsylvania, who is a member of the all-important rules committee. welcome, congresswoman. thank you for your time today. what is your reaction to this whole spectacle. members of the gop almost got physical as your party remained completely united. talk about this contrast for us and how do you see it playing out of the next two years? >> i think mr. steele is right that there is this really strong contrast between the

parties now. and it stems from the fact of the republican party has become so fractured. they haven't had a party platform since 2016. it has just been a collection of power among monger-ing folks. and i think he is right. they have learned from the master. but it is not just about tearing down that government. it is also about narcissism. there is quite a lot of that on display over the last couple of days. from people who are not really arguing for a particular policy position. they're arguing for power. and that is really corrosive when you are trying to govern on behalf of the people and get things done for the benefit of the american people. >> so, as we, mentioned you have served on the rules committee and mccarthy made some major concessions there agreeing to place members from the far-right freedom caucus on the committee. and the new framework of hospitals. there is what the former chair of the committee, jim mcgovern told nbc news. here is what he told nbc news. quote, the reason these people

want to be on the rules committee is they want to screw things up for mccarthy. they want to micromanage every single thing that he brings to the floor. it is kind of like a little bit of what you are talking about here. this narcissism. how do you see their impact here? >> well, it is really interesting, the rhetoric we have heard over the last few days is that the folks who are holding out or arguing that they were doing it so that the minority could be heard. so that every voice could be heard. but in reality, it is only their own voices they want to have heard. there is a reason they are a minority in their own party. it's because they don't have the buy-in of the american people, or even if the republican party. they are extremists, and they are doing everything they can to hold that party hostage. they would like to hold the rules committee hostage. they really just want to have their own way, no matter who gets hurt. including the american people. >> you know, i wonder if you can take us inside the rules committee process. how does it usually work and what numbers with these freedom

caucus members need on the committee to effectively veto anything sent floor. >> first of all, i had to say that as someone who serves on the rules committee, the fact that the rules committee is now trending on twitter is truly bizarre because usually it is something, it is a committee that operates late at night getting things set up for the coming week. >> it's a c-span type of committee. >> it is, very c-span. but, at any rate, ordinarily it is one of the more cordial committees. everyone understands that the job is to set up legislation so that it can go to the floor for debate and four votes. and that certainly appears to be something that is in jeopardy. there is a lot of things that are in jeopardy with some of these rule changes in addition to, as you, mentioned the fact that any member of the majority, not any member of congress but only member of the majority party could call forward as speaker to be removed. but also, they are going to do away with things like proxy

voting. i mean, just in the last couple of days we saw we had one member who had surgery. we had a couple other members who had family emergencies, and rather than allowing them to vote by proxy where they could study the issue and actually make a vote but without being in that chamber they had to come back at personal peril or to the detriment of their families. so, in a modern age the fact that you can't do a remote vote is kind of bizarre and it feeds into this idea that we have folks who are looking at making it more difficult to govern rather than easier. >> it is really not realistic. and when i say speak c-span committee, i mean incredibly important. all right, congresswoman, before we let you go, mccarthy also made some major concessions regarding the debt ceiling, including a pledge to use that bite to push for spending cuts. how dangerous is this to the u.s. economy? >> i mean, it is really scary. we had economy that, through careful management and good

support from the administration and from congress, through really important legislation has come, is coming out of the pandemic shutdowns and the damage that was done globally to the global economy. so we are seeing that it's been resilient. we've had obviously inflation and other things to overcome. but we are doing okay. and we are doing better than most of the rest of the world. so the idea that this sort at this fragile time for the world economy, you would try to you up and everything. again, just to pursue your own very narrow, not majority political agenda, it is just really destructive in misguided? >> it is going to be a difficult two years. representative mary gates gambling for us this morning, thank you so much, we appreciate it. coming up, the latest on damar hemlines remarkable recovery and weather changes to safety equipment can be made as players prepare to take the field again this weekend. i will talk with former pro, jaunty stallworth.

plus, new york times column is charles blow calls the south republicans that burned it all down caucus. and, says these problems didn't start with mccarthy or even donald trump. what he pinpoints as the moment when it all went wrong. charles will join me, ahead. >> and, wild new accusations of prince harry's new book. and alleged attack by his brother is just the beginning. we will have a lab report from london. london london

the new tell-all book by prince harry sent to head bookshelves worldwide on tuesday. nbc news has obtained a spanish language copy of the book in which he describes future king prince williams as throwing his brother to the ground during an argument. meanwhile, in an interview with itv today, harry did not confirm whether he would attend king charles's coronation of invited. nbc may fitzgerald megan

fitzgerald is in london for. asked megan, how did we get the sneaky? feet >> bookstores in spain briefly jump the gun, which means somewhere able to get a hands on the copy of this memoir, including us. of course, this is in spanish. but we have producers coming through this book, along with translating everywhere it, and i can tell you, prince harry pulled out all the stops. this morning >> shocking new details from prince harry's first biography, spare. hardly anything off limits as the duke of south exposes it all. writing candidly about his last words to his grandmother, queen elizabeth. i whispered that i hoped she was happy, and that she was with grandfather now. i said that i admired her for having carried out her duties until the end. but perhaps, one of the most shocking reveals. explicit details about being attacked by his brother, prince william over fight about harry's relationship with his wife, meghan markle. who william allegedly called, difficult, rude, and abrasive. saying william grabbed him, and threw him to the floor. i landed on the docks poll, he

said. which cracked under my back. speaking about the fight in an upcoming interview with the british tv network, itv. >> when i saw this read this into him. he wanted me to have him back. but i chose not to. and a bombshell revelation about fighting in the war not get a, sandra feeling he killed 25 enemy combatants. a senior member of the taliban, reacting on twitter, saying the people harry killed or not chest pieces, they were humans. all of this, ahead of his upcoming tell-all interviews on abc and 60 minutes. he says, and his wife's race was exploited. >> but then you add in the race element, which is what the press jumped on straightaway. i think it's incredibly naive. i had no idea the british british pressure so bigoted. hello, i was probably bigoted. >> before the relation with. meghan >> you didn't think you are bigoted before the relationship? >> i don't know. put it that way, i didn't see what i now see. >> but some of the british

public see harry's actions as devastating to the palace, and deepening his divide with the royal family. >> i think it was a mistake in writing. if he wants his relationship back, i don't think it is the best way to go about it. >> a spokesperson for the sussexes declined to comment on the taliban's reaction to the memoir. we've also reached out to the palace for comment. they have declined to do so. this memoir is hitting store shelves on tuesday. back to you. >> megan fitzgerald in london, thank. you coming up. a virginia community in shock after a six-year-old allegedly shot his teacher. leaving her in critical condition. plus, a preview into biden's first trip to that border as president, sat for tomorrow. president, sat for tomorrow. casey: these kids, they don't deserve to have to go through this. my beautiful little redheaded girl has cancer. you don't know what's going to happen.

i'd like to thank our sponsor liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. contestants ready? go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. there's always a fresh deal on the subway app. like this one! 50% off?! that deal's so good we don't even need an eight-time all-star to tell you about it. wait what? get it before it's gone on the subway app! it took over 15 -- 15 ballots in over four days before kevin mccarthy was able to turn 20 votes against him

adjusting and will present votes. that was finally enough to end the longest stalemate for house speaker and more than 100 years. but, the deals he made to get there, especially in the final hours are still somewhat of a mystery. tara palmieri is putting new senior correspondent and joins us now to maybe give us some insight into office. tara, elcomb. do you have any insight into what mccarthy may have given up in these last few votes, especially demarcates? >> yeah. it seems like a lot of us had to do with concessions on the rules committee giving conservatives seats on this very powerful committee. the ability to see legislation, 72 hours before it goes on. the floor and, critically, he allowed just one person to be able to call a motion or a vote on his speakership. and so, this of course really handicaps him when it comes to those big fights on the budgets, the debt ceiling on really anything that will increase

spending, including for the armed services committee and this is a really big concession because, essentially mccarthy doesn't do what these holdouts, these 20 or so holdouts want, or five or six of them really, they can start the vote on his speakership, and frankly, without george santos, he has even fewer. george santos's seat ends up open, a democrat will probably win 11 fewer seats. so he doesn't have the votes really right now. and if they want to call the motion to get rid of him, that can happen, it can happen today. it won't, but you understand what i'm saying. >> he's basically beholden to. them >> so much so that this quote i think from you is very interesting that you cited from gates yesterday. where he said, quote, there's two ways this ands and it was either mccarthy or it was going to be the rules and personnel paradigm that gave us a functional straight jacket.

so in the end, it was a mccarthy that got the straight jacket here? >> yes. essentially. i mean, he is beholden to you a very small fraction of the party. they can literally call the speakership. as you saw last night, daytona need. they can get rid of him at anytime. and so, he is being controlled by a very small group of lawmakers. it is interesting that they put off the vote on the rules of the house until monday. they were supposed to do last night. who knows that they will even be able to pass by monday. i think that will be really telling as to dust heat of this house and who has the control. i mean, is he going to struggled with votes that have to win vote that every single turn? what we saw this week could be for literally every single -- let's talk about steve gullies. you called him the obvious alternative to mccarthy. but he never seemed to really have a big shot here. in public he has been nothing

but loyal to mccarthy. do you see him as looking ahead to his own ambitions though? ? it >> this is the way the kevin mccarthy is going to lead. if he is going to struggle to get the votes. i mean, he clearly did not have the votes. on the 14th round about what you seem to intimate that he did. i don't want to really be speaker. and that could elevate easily to this very popular. his name would obviously the entire week being discussed if it seems like kevin mccarthy couldn't pull it out. but, in the day, mccarthy ellis knew that as long as kevin mccarthy created the impression of progress, if every little incremental movement look like a battleground and a line in the sand, that would keep scalise at his side. he had to create this impression. he had time. and that's what you heard a lot of conservative commentator saying, oh, this isn't just messy democracy. this is good for democracy. it was given mccarthy time to

continue to go up on that, to go up there and try to get the votes. because, eventually if it was it was really an endurance test between people who supported him and the holdouts. and, at some point it was expected that the holdouts would say, okay, i mean the ones who were supporting it would say, listen, we can't get anything to support you. there is someone who can get the votes. it is not you. and as we, know matt gates had said on the record that they would've supported scalise. >> terrible mary with putt news. thanks, tara to break that down for us. we have to talk more about how this all began. the chaos on the house for this week may have seemed unprecedented. the writing has actually been on the wall for years now. as column is charles blow writes in the new york times, the gop laid the ground for this type of discord when it effectively made the choice to put policy and progress second and instead became quote, starving for disrupting and spectacle. and, charles joins me now. he is a new york times columnist and an msnbc political analyst. charles, welcome in. thank you for being here.

as you write, the history of this really goes back to 2008 when john the candidate's presidential campaign, and he chose alaska governor sarah palin as his running mate. take a listen here. a little bit of her speech. this is her first speech at the rnc that year. we will discuss on the other side. >> i've learned quickly these last few days that if you are not a member in good standing of the washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. >> here's a little news flash for those reporters and commentators. i am not going to washington to seek their gut opinion. i'm going to washington to serve the people of this great country. >> all right, charles, so how did this moment and up to finding the gop and turning it into what it is today, this burned it all down party? >> well she tapped into something. she tapped into kind of the anger and dissatisfaction in

the base. and some people could argue that dan quayle was the beginning of the kind of anti intellectual-ism of the republican party. i would defer on that. he was chosen for the very same reason that palin was chosen. both of the people were running. john mccain and bush world are at the time. they wanted to balance their tickets, they wanted younger people. but bush chose a sitting senator who had been in congress for a decade. dan quayle used to used flood language. he was bad with language and public speaking, but he understood the basic mechanics of the federal government. he understood foreign policy. sarah palin did not seem to understand those things in the same way. but what she had acquittal didn't have was passion, and she was able to kind of corral the anger. and i don't think the gop fully understood the depth of it. because they had never let it get out. so they would always depend on it. they would use it to get

voters. but they would always bring it back. they would wrangler down and put a pre face on it. palin showed them that it was very deep. and it demonstrated that the spectacle of it could make you a superstar. and that superstar could be a generator for speeches, for income, for fundraising, and that created power. and that became the blueprint for people who came after. painted and breakthrough because she whether an election. donald trump, however, took some of the same playbook and broke through. he was elected. and that unleashed that a lot of the other people in the party to be able to say, this works. i can do this. you can shut me down mainstream of publicans. this works. and i am going to follow the footprints of the person who is the leader of the party. and so now you have this mushrooming group of young

people if you just want to put on spectacle. they have no such a policy. they are no policy direction, they are just saying we are here to flip the tables. >> yeah. we are here to fill the tables, and we will. especially because social media turnout, you don't need a conventional mainstream. you can do it on your own. and you will have people who will see that. that messaging. and it is not just a few members of the party. i mean, this goes to many members of the gop who didn't just see these people, didn't just ignore the french, but actually saw it as possibly beneficial to them. it sounds like there were several steps along the way that the gop made active choices to allow the party to get where it is today. >> so there were two coaches. hear what it was the paul ryan approach which was, i don't like what is going on but i'm not going to challenge. it i'm not going to do the schooled. i'm going to put my nose down, try to work with these people, try to work with donald trump, and get the best job done that i can. and be the guardrails for the system but the way the public

saw that was your silence became acceptance and approval. and complacency. the other group of those people where the opportune is. they saw power and they said well, this is the direction things are going. and i'm going to actually stand behind those people. i am not only not gonna condemn, them i'm going to basically applaud what they are doing and if not join in on it. so there were these two streams of the republican party going forward. both of them being detrimental to the health of the party, and also that country. >> so, when you speak about opportunists, i mean, it doesn't get much better than the actual shouting match on the floor last night between mccarthy and gates. and then impossible almost physical altercation after that. what is your assessment of how everything went down last night? >> listen, temperatures were boiling over. they were getting nowhere. that straitjacket comment that gates made is absolutely true. they were basically saying,

kevin, you are so thirsty for this. we can do anything to you and he will accept it because you power has become the only play. no one cares about how you get there. no one cares about what it means once you get there, no one cares what the constraints are. they just want to position. kevin one of the position so bad he would not step out of the way for anyone that he would accept basically being a speaker in name only. being able to being basically thrown out of office on the job of a hat. that is what he has. it is basically not even a speakership. but he has the title, and that's what he wanted. so what you are seeing is that boiling over. the other members of congress, members of the house, they were chapped to. you >> write. you speak about speaker in may name only. these maga candidates can people ride those, republican a name only. now we have possibly sino,'s speaker name only.

all right, charles blow, thank you for being with us this afternoon. very fast in conversation. we'll have to have a vaccine. coming up right here on msnbc, the latest on the idaho murder suspect and the alarming new details about the night of the attack from one of the surviving roommates. plus, shock and outrage. a 60 oh year old allegedly shot a teacher in an elementary school in virginia. >> this was not an accidental shooting. ta shooting shooting ...or plan? maybe... it's because in dreams, you can do anything. in dreams... you can hold your entire world in the palm of your hand. and turn time inside out... again and again. and you can do it all with your eyes wide open. my asthma felt anything but normal. ♪ ♪ it was time for a nunormal with nucala. nucala is a once-monthly add-on treatment for

regarding buffalo bill safety damar have lynn and his recovery from cardiac arrest. a joint statement this afternoon coming from the bills and his physicians at the uc medical center in ohio. it reads quote, damar is making continued progress in his recovery yet remains in critical condition. he continues to breathe on his own and his neurological function is excellent. and recent days, the more has been able to talk with his, family doctors and even his bills teammates who he told in a face time, call quote lovey boys. and hearing that message made all the difference in the world to them, take a listen to bill's tackle, dion dawkins. share his reaction. >> so, seeing him smile, seeing them go like this in the camera, it was everything so to hear

him talk to, us it was literally everything and that is what we needed. literally, that is all that we needed. >> joining me now for manafort wide receiver donté stallworth. dante, thank you for being and. today first, your reaction to that clip from dawkins and can you share what it is like as a former player yourself to hear from a teammate in the hospital like that? what did us for morale? >> yes, i think that everything for them. i think if you listen to some of the players and just being on the field for a moment this went down, until the moment that he was able to facetime them days later, after what they had witnessed with their all eyes on the football field in cincinnati, i think it did everything for them. josh allen, the star quarterback of that team that talked about, players are going to be messed up about this for a while psychologically he was saying. so for them, the main concern for them was the mars health. they did not know about playing that week, that next week and

the coach so that sean mcdermott, saying that he was going to allow them to deal with it the way that they wanted to. they were going to get help. but the fact that he was able to give them the quote unquote normal him, flexing on them, doing the hard signal that he always does, he does it a lot during games. there are photographs of him all over the internet of him doing this multiple times, so for them to see that he was more concerned and that moment about hey, i love you boys. you need to go out there and finish the job that we set out. finish the goal that we set out from the beginning. for them to get that, that does everything for them. that flips a switch on them. and now they feel like they have to go and plane's honor to be interesting to watch them go out there, they are a great football team. this is just motivating them even more to go out and play more for him. >> on that, now do you think it is too soon for the team to get out there? >> you know, we are trained and

conditioned to deal with and compartmentalize injury and we are trained and condition to deal with a lot of things, broken bones, torn ligaments and even concussions. to see them physically in front of us and to have them happen to us. this is something totally different. no one is trained in the nfl to be able to compartmentalize this or be condition to deal with this going forward. i think the brotherhood and the love that they all share, people forget that these guys spend just as much if not more time with the players and they do with their own family members sometimes and a lot of the times. these are actual brothers. they feel like they are brothers and arms and when they go out on the field together, they are going as one and 41 of their brothers to be quote unquote fall in and be in the hospital, and telling them, hey finish the goal that we set out from the beginning. that does everything, that flips a switch for these players for them to be able to go out. without that, though i will not

lie, it would be a different ball game for them. mentally and psychologically, i think they'll be ready and prepared now that they spoke with them already told him to basically finish the job. >> yes, saying you know that we needed that. this has renewed a long-standing debate of course about the overall safety of the sport. karen atia of the washington post writing that some would describe a hard truth about the lead. quote in football, 300 pound guys running full speed into one another. studies have shown that the helmets and gear encourage football players to hit and tackle even harder. and that the lead quote fails to support the health and safety of its athletes. what would your response be to that? >> well i think it is interesting, i think that there has been a big transition from the nfl to where we were ten years ago. when i was a player and when i first got into the league. guys would get concussions often and they would be back on the field playing. so we have learned a lot about concussions since, and we have

learned a lot about the brain, traumatic injuries and simpson the research that we have all learned and the risk that we assume of going into this game. i do have to say to that this game obviously is a big business and it's hard to get rid of big business in america, not just in america but anywhere in the world. it's a multi billion dollar corporation. so the second that the nfl will be banned, that is hard for me to believe but i do believe that the nfl is trying to make the game safer. you cannot make the game safe. it's an inherently brutal, violent sport. it's a collision sport, so you can only make it safer. i think the nfl is doing what they can to minimize as many injuries that they can but you are not ever going to be able to get rid of the injuries in this game. it's inherently a violent sport. >> former nfl player, don place with us, thank you thank you for your time. we appreciate that. coming up, what we know so far about president biden's first official visit to the border since taking office. that is set for tomorrow.
