guy: thank, indeed.ing slightly off camera because there is a live shot that has just come up of christine lagarde, the european parliament -- christine lagarde will be appearing shortly. we will give you an idea of what is happening. in terms of coming into this thing, coming -- this morning, we saw a huge pickup in yields read particularly at the front end of the curve. that is starting to roll off as we approach this testimony here. so, germany's two-year is negative by 1.6 basis points. atp is up by 2.7 basis points well off of the highs. him and back to the question of the day that kailey leinz was proposing, who is in charge, is it the markets or the central banks? we will see this being tested. let's bring christie back into the conversation. we saw this big move higher in yields earlier on and that is fading. do you think that is people backing off of those positions, waiting to see what she has to say. >> i think that is exactly it. it makes sense for markets to stall in anticipation of what lag

jim nantz is a great guy. you're a great guy. al michaels is a great guy.here. you know, it's an interesting crowd. all right you are friends with tom to redo this podcast with him. how often do you do it? >> we have done it the past 12 years together, monday night football and now on sirius xm. "let's go" on sirius xm. tom brady, myself, larry fitzgerald. we have done it a long time. >> sean: the speculation comes out that reports came out, i'll be honest i was surprised. he had one of the best seasons statistically he's ever had and i'm picking why is he retiring question right he's at the top of his game. i know he wants to be the super bowl. it was such a great comeback. he came back close. i couldn't believe it. he was one of the more exciting -- all these playoff games have been amazing. and i just -- it's like the rocky moment when he says "i still have stuff in the basement." i am hoping tom has stuff in the basement. what did he tell you? >> well, he said that he's not come to a decision. he is taking it day-to-day and when he makes a decision he w

let's talk about also the panel joining us a guy bench and show host fox news contributor guy benson.urnal columnist josh kraushaar. gentlemen thank you so much for being here. >> is good to be here. guy, let me start with you. where the politics? the way in which our leaders have behaved over the last two years, how does that change the weight we've seen republicans living in virginia all most winning in new jersey. how's that going to change the politics post covid? >> that is exactly what the democrats are suddenly worried about. and for all of them in this cascade over the span of just a few days to decide all the sudden the mandates can go, the masks can go, there is no actual science yes case counts have come down but in schools in particular case counts have never been the issue. the science has not changed by the politics of change i think even of the white house is lagging behind of course this cdc is lagging behind. these democrats are saying things making arguments republicans have been making for quite some time. they've been demonized for it. they've been attacked for you

absurd salad because a guy yells out. and so anyway, it was really fun had but i'm, they are ty reese's, my partner, i have all, you know, i got to and they have the strength. but when scenes with michael keaton and cheered lego and joe works a whole different world brother. when you think about us, sharon comedy condo where it had andromeda strain on the shower. you go over there . you're in clara. marguerite, rules milk. hick folks, we'll strows. it's really a great joke about the road, you know, run now now he died and i've told this story but cancel this, but i have to tell my fellow comedian, he was a great comedian, a bit of a bush about lit little but he was very hip ronnie shakes that a great deal about how the roads always the same. he says, so i was at the newark airport last night at the newark marianne. it's clipping my toenails at the edge of the bed. one of toenails flew off into the shag carpet. i couldn't find, i went to sleep, flew to st. louis the next day for a good checked into the airport, mary, outsi

mentally getting ready prepared for a game like this, these guys are young guys. feeling with this kind of pressure? >> that's a good question. i mean, people talk about it. they say hey, it's just like any out of the game. but it's not like any other game. it is unlike any other game and you know that as soon as he win the championship game based on all the attention and all the media and of course the week leading up to it you have to go to the city. you are practicing typically in a different environment. the rams have been practicing at their own facility where they are all season long. but it is one of the things that i love about watching the super bowl. because having played it, i understand the emotions and adrenaline happens early in a game and especially for a quarterback and those that have to handle the ball is much as a quarterback does early, i'd like to see how these guys handle that. stafford is a veteran quarterback, joe burrow is a younger guy. i'm curious to see which one handles it fast. >> jesse: we will be watching even though it's not on fox

the british guys, the british guys will be very staid. that tackle was fantastic.nk, jay, did you find that to be a fantastic tackle? amen, he blue him up! i mean he blew him up! they came to play today. the jaguars are really prepare for today's game they came! they came! they dropped a load on them! >> jimmy: it sounds like it's better than ours. >> it's great. and then there is no -- the commercials when they come every 15 minutes. so what they do, when there is a commercial break here, they just stay there talking about the game. so you just have bunch of englishmen. no, the tackling, are those the same thing? the sack and the tackle. >> jimmy: they ask questions about the game. >> and then the guys that are there have to answer the questions. i mean, the fifth time i had to tell you. a sack is when you get tackled behind the line of scrimmage. so scrimmage, what's the scrimmage? >> jimmy: are there -- do you ever run into nfl fans who are british? is it just americans watching? >> i do. sometimes. i was in london, and i was just out and about one day, and i sa

like you guys see, yes, you know nothing. i love. but there's a lot of what that goes into into making just was not just seeing the studio, but all i know is action. lots of different pieces that come together. yes. and connect to make the lovely shows that we hope we continue giving you guys i just want to add something as well because you've asked me what next scene addition to obviously the growth that we have enjoyed. and so far, i think we will continue to be in dialog. so as the african youth. so it's not just, i'm not just talking about 80 and i hear the studio. but as the african use, you guys who have been following us supporting us, you know, sending us your critique as well and just showing us. but we are in this together. i think this communities will continue to grow and become stronger. and therefore, keep telling the stories but needs to be told from the continent. yeah. what else? what are last, what else? because 77 percent is actually the platform for that for thing. what else is happening and continuing that, that.
