same day that the riot happened. and look, even bragged at one point about being able to whiff tear gas that was fired at protesters in the us capitol in the de highlighted in his proximity to the action that was going on so it really does call into question again, chesebro description of themselves as just a lawyer trying to give legal advice to a president, trying to challenge the outcome, and maybe more as an activist and somebody who is really trying to push his own desires in his own agenda through his role as a lawyer >> and what legal jeopardy it's just that lawyer face right now as we know, chesebro has already pled guilty in georgia, where fani willis, the da there is investigating efforts to overturn the election results he's an unindicted coconspirator in jack smith's indictment of donald trump. i'm told that the feds, the federal investigators have not reached back out to chesebro since he informed them he was gonna take a plea deal georgia is interviewed with again by about five different state prosecutors in his time since taking a plea deal. so ramp to see, but lying to state prosecutors or not being fully

truthful with state prosecutors can be a problem anymore all the time. is that cohen really appreciate it. thanks so much. the news continues to source with kaitlan collins starts now and straight from the source tonight, he's on a roll hours from an expected super tuesday blow out. donald trump is just one big the supreme court, but inside the unanimous decision, there's a blistering warning about the consequences that were just unleashed. also, a shout across the bow and benjamin nets yahoo, the vice president meeting behind closed doors today, with a top member of israel's war cabinet. >> just >> so happens to be netanyahu's biggest political rival in israel. and also, there was not a dry eye in the city of brotherly love today, as jason kelce bid an emotional goodbye to philadelphia, with travis looking on in tears. there's not a whole lot to cry out for these to our friend bob costas is here live on the business of being the brothers, kelsey, i'm kaitlan collins, and this is the source supreme

court has not played this direct of a role in a presidential election since bush v. gore. >> and tonight the ruling is unanimous. that's how history will record donald trump's 90 victory today. >> but inside >> that same ruling, it is exposing deep cracks and that united front on the supreme court the justices offered very different ways of explaining the same result, but they did in the end agree that donald trump will remain on the ballot and of course this came just 24 hours before the first super tuesday polls are about to open now, just about nine hours from where we are at this moment. >> the >> biggest primary night and donald trump is expected to rack up blowout wins in buckets of delegates from coast-to-coast, putting him within reach of the republican nomination. the question of whether he engaged in insurrection. remember the one that the colorado court's found? well, that was left untouched entirely today, too hot for the high court put a

pin in that because we've a lot to discuss and we'll get to that and just a moment. >> the other >> thing that stood out from this though, was held justice amy coney barrett cited at one point with the court's liberals and their uneasiness about the potential consequences of the reach. just how broad it was of this ruling. but she also chastise sotomayor kagan and jackson for their language morning about turning down the national temperature, not cranking it up. she wrote at one point, quote, this is not the time to amplify disagreement but we are hearing from our sources tonight that trump's bigger concern is not what happened today. it's of what's to come from the supreme court. his claim of absolute immunity, of course, looms on the horizon. right now. it's really giving him what he wants from this court more time to delay his potential trials. that's what was so surprising to hear him today hours after we found out what the supreme court had decided, praising them for moving so quickly >> they worked hard and

frankly, they worked very quickly oh and something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now, extremely important. i have great respect for the supreme court. and i want to just thank them for working so quickly and diligently and so brilliantly we'll see if. that's still how he feels when he hears from them again, on his immunity ruling. but for now, we're digging into what this ruling means with cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, elliot williams and nyu constitutional law professor kenji yoshino. but we're going to begin with the conservative attorney who has argued in front of the supreme court and with people on this show about this very issue, george conway is here and george, you initially said that you thought the supreme court would have a difficult time, your quote that i looked out today was avoiding the consequence of the plain language of the 14th amendment. it was obviously a nine and okay. call today. so i wonder what you made of this ruling.

and if you feel differently now, i think i know i don't feel differently. i think they did have a very difficult time with it because i don't think any of the three opinions make any sense whatsoever. i think these opinions are fundamentally incoherent and they're fundamentally arbitrary and i think that i think it just shows the difficulty the court had in trying to select an off-ramp here totally rejected the trump trump's principal arguments, which we're that the president is somehow not an officer or the united states and the other argument which was that he did did not engage in an insurrection. and the latter i think is the most important takeaway from this. notwithstanding donald trump declaring victory, he remains an adjudicated insurrectionist after this opinion because the supreme court did not, in, anyway, under cut or or contradict or suggest in any way there was any infirmity. and will fall in the factual

findings made by the lower courts. >> why do you think that was? >> because because he is unquestionably an insurrection, is there really wasn't i mean, it would have been absurd for the court to try to redefine what it means to engage in an insurrection into engage and what an insurrection is to try to fit it to get donald trump off the hook. and that's what that's what the court was terrified about. they didn't want to go there. and you can see that sort of the terror in the opinions in the concurring opinions. i mean, justice barrett was just it just her opinion just exuded fear of the political consequences of the decision. and frankly, the does the concurring opinion. i know they they're perceived as having attacked the majority opinion for going too far. but the problem was it wasn't overreach by the majority was under reached by all nine justices. and the concurring opinion, frankly, it's

criticisms of the majority opinion. actually end up undermining the concurrence his own opinion as to s2, as to the result in the case which was to affirm well, that's interesting because wondering what you made this line because of what the liberal justices said about the majority that stood out to me where they said, quote, >> they decide novel constitutional questions to insulate this court and the petitioner from future controversy i don't honestly i cannot figure out exactly what they are talking about. there. and it may be a circumstance where the opinions were so quickly written that some of that language is held over from was held over from an earlier draft of the opinion. as far as i can see what the majority held was that states cannot enforce state whether restate officials or state courts cannot enforce section 14, section three of the 14th amendment against any person

running for federal office. and the basis for that without a congressional on ackman i don't think there's anything in that opinion that actually holds and that couldn't be because it's not it wasn't presented by the case that there is somehow of insurrectionists are completely immunized from any kind of federal action to apply section three of the 14th amendment i just don't see it in the majority opinion. and maybe it was there in a draft. i don't know, but i can't make heads or tails, frankly, out of the concurring opinions anymore than i can make heads or tails out of majority opinion and shati legal work all around by all the justices, the concurring opinions are definitely worth reading, but there was also this moment today where trump was scheduled to give remarks right after this came out, his team had a pretty good idea what was coming when the supreme court said they were going to announce an opinion today i think the idea was that he he's going to be touting this victory, but he ended up

spending more time defending his immunity case. here's part of what he said today >> another thing that will be coming up very soon will be immunity for president and not immunity for me, but for any president if a president doesn't have full immunity you really don't have a president because nobody that is serving in that office will have the courage to make. in many cases, what would be the right decision or it could be the wrong decision >> you heard between that and what he said earlier, praising the court for its brilliant and diligent work. i mean, how much do you expect that would change from today? what he said to what we could hear as soon as maybe june angel, i don't think i don't think he's going to be a happy camper in may or june whenever the immunity case comes down because i think >> this court, which was clearly motivated by fear of applying the law is going to be fearful of not applying the law and the immunity case because it would be such a horrible and

terrible decision. i think there's no legal expert fuels otherwise that suggest that the president has the kind of absolute immunity from criminal, from criminal prosecution that trump asks more. and it may be true that there are some circumstances but that alkyl ones where congress could pass a law that's designed to infringe upon the upon the president's ability to carry out his offices and use a criminal sanction to do that. but that's just not this case. this is a case where the president tried to extend his term of office and violate the very clause of the constitution. the executive vesting clause that says he has the executive power and nobody only has it for four years. and it's just if, if the president can't be prosecuted here, then he can never be prosecuted. and it's got nothing to do as trump suggests, with the presidents having courage to do the right thing on the behalf

of the country because he wasn't trying to do the right thing on behalf of the country. he was trying to do the wrong thing for the country, but for his own personal benefit. >> yeah, he claimed today that the presidency would become a ceremonial position without that immunity, we'll see what they decide. george conway, we will bring you back certainly when that decision shan happens. thank you. thank you for that and for more on this and looking at what these concurring opinion said, i want to bring in elliott and kenji back into the conversation. elliot, let me start with you because you said this five this was a 5-4 decision. you believe in unanimous decisions, clothing tell me what you mean by that >> every the takeaway is certainly the court was nine nothing and it was an unsigned unanimous opinion, but there was such difference between the four justices that wrote concurrences in how far the opinion went here. and yes, they are nominal, nominally, an agreement on the underlying why in question here. but they're not and particularly in the back-and-forth between justice

barrett and the other three justices, it was clear that there were some differences and maybe even some hard feelings over how this opinion came out. >> well and can do when you look at these concurring opinions. i mean, if you read them closely, they kinda look more like dissents sharply the worded ones at that and there was one point where george was referencing there sotomayor, kagan and jackson were basically saying the court has gone way further than what they needed to do. all they needed to answer was who can enforce section three of the 14th amendment. and then instead, they went way further than that, saying only an act of congress can bar someone from being on the ballot of federal officeholder. >> that's exactly right. and in fact, they jabbed that chief justice roberts by quoting the dobbs concurrence back at him when dobbs, he said we have to be minimalist here. we can't go as far as done this is the selena gomez and his majority opinion. and they quoted his concurrence back to him and their concurrence and they said you said you're supposed to be a minimalist and look what you've done today. >> that is fascinating. i mean, what do you think? how do you think chief justice john roberts reads that?

>> i think he definitely reads it as a jab and it's really hard for me not to look at the language that you quoted earlier, kaitlan, which it looks like the court is trying to insulate itself and the petitioner, meaning trump from further controversy. that's really telling language and that liberal justices can occurrence because what they're really saying is you're trying to protect trump. and i think it's a look ahead to this executive immunity case to say, don't try to protect this individual too much. in the oral argument, justice sotomayor, and i suspect it was she who wrote the joint concurrence because march as a star and has done some leg work looking at metadata to suggest that she wrote the dissent as a partial dissent before she flipped into co-occurrence. so i think you're reading it exactly right? but i think that what she's saying and the oral argument or what you did say in the oral argument is isn't this rule kind of gerrymander to protect one person? again, saying to the argument of trump's lawyers aren't you just trying to create a rule that will protect trump and george washington because they're the only two individuals is for the relevant. i think she's bringing back that argument and

leveling it on a difference frank claim against chief justice roberts to say, don't just try to protect this president, like don't create rules that are only going to protect this president above and beyond what you strictly have to do to decide a case. >> well, and elie elliot, can we talk about the other part of this? it really stood out was amy coney barrett siding with the liberals? it parts in here, but also should this short but really interesting concurrence were in another part, she was urging the public to look past the fact that four of the courts members herself included, disagreed with how broadly that this decision was made. it and she wrote, in my judgment, this is not the time to amplify disagreement with strident see >> o lord kaitlan, save us the sanctimony has justice barrett read any of any frankly, any opinion written by justice thomas or justice alito over the last frankly, several decades, has she read justice alito's opinion in dobbs? the case that overturned roe v. wade, justice alito's opinion in the mifepristone case, we're

the abortion pill case where he all but accused president biden of seeking to violate the law by not following the supreme court. the idea of supreme court justices using sharp language to express their views with opinions they disagree with is nothing new the idea that all of a sudden now we're going to wag our fingers at three dissenting or concurring justices over and over the tone of their opinion, just silly. and i guess we'll use the word again. it's just, it's a little bit sanctimonious and the more i've thought about it over the course of the day-to-day as we've been talking about, just realized, wow, what a head scratching line that wasn't that opinion >> well, she is the second newest justice on the court. maybe she's trying to change these opinions down. elliot williams can do is, you know, great to have you both here. thank you. >> and as i noted with hours >> to go before the biggest primary day this election season, president biden is now using one of donald trump's favorite insults against him in a rare new interview. >> we'll tell you what he said. also in trump's rally playlist is shrinking. again, the strongly worded demand from one artist, state to stop

numbers, because the poll numbers have very good >> tomorrow's primary contest or a chance for trump to get even closer to what has seemed in like it's inevitable, which is becoming the republican nominee also closer to setting up that 2020 rematch. so many americans are dreading with president biden joining me now to talk about it to friends of the source for republic look in congressman adam kinzinger and former senior adviser to president obama, david axelrod. david, i think some people, you know, if you looked at this six months ago, may have found it hard to believe that trump was going to be in this position where he's he's getting these victories at the supreme court by delaying one thing they're also given giving him another victory and he's about but to have what what's expected to be a pretty good super tuesday? >> no, no. there's no doubt about it and i'll tell you some kaitlan. the thing that he's selling in this race. and look, i think we have to stop and acknowledge the sort of moment that we're in. we're a guy who engineered an insurrection at the capitol is on the verge of being his party

this nominee again. and i don't want to in any way brush that point aside, but he is selling strength and in a weird way, all of these legal travails that he has, all of these indictments, all of these lawsuits, and so on, has given them a chance to look indomitable, looked strong, look resilient, and that's actually in some ways helped them now the main cases haven't gone to trial yet. that could be a different story, but he's actually use these to propel himself to this moment >> yeah. well, what do you make of this moment just after having been on the january 6 committee investigating this, looking at every moment of this and seeing today, the court didn't even touch the idea of whether or not not he incited the insurrection. >> while after seeing his clip there, i just feel so unified now, a unifying factor in this, like no, i mean, it's funny. so right after january 6, fred upton, who's on the show sometimes said to me, i think donald trump runs again, and i'd like to know you're nuts,

like there's no way he runs again. fred's always right. that's one thing i've learned. >> i'm told me that >> i mean, it's we always call them the upton prophecies because he would always be right. but we i still am in disbelief that we're at this moment and i think part of it when you're talking about that strength, donald trump is actually truly the weakest man to ever occupy. by the presidency. that's not just my opinion. i mean, he's always a victim. i mean, even today, he said, if that statement would have gone on longer, how he's a victim and people are coming after him and poor him. but for some reason he's really good at turning that into, he's the tough guy. so yeah, i mean, it's worked. the party looks for strength. he's projected fake strength. >> and >> i am still just blown away as a republican myself that were at this moment. and i guess we just have to deal with it and make sure he doesn't win the oval office. >> he also claimed in there that the polls were very good for him. i mean, if you're looking at the general election map jeff polls, they're not they're pretty close. i mean, he's edging out a little bit

at some of the latest ones from nbc in the new york times. but this all comes is this piece just came out in the new yorker today by evan osnos, who has reported on biden for forever? yes. and he was just on with john >> king one part, obviously, that puts biden weaker those polls is because of his age and evan was talking to john king about what he observed about president biden. this is what he told him >> look on a physical level, he is slower and his movements in his gestures. no question about it. his mind seemed unchanged to me. he didn't bungle a date or a name or anything like that. i was looking to see any signs of that >> that's someone who saw president biden up close. but this new york times poll says 73% of all registered voters believe he's too old to be affected. >> yeah. well, look, i accept that he is doing the job competently and well, i mean, i believe that but the reality is he is not in front front of a camera projecting that and that's how most americans see their president in front of the

camera. he looks, he looks old, he looks slower. he does mangle words at times and it has fit a meme and that meme has been sold as you know, by the republican party since he entered the race four years ago but it has taken root and it's a real obstacle for him because people they don't see him as someone who's driving things, so they don't give him credit for his real accomplishments, but they give him credit for everything that goes wrong and that's a bad place to be. >> one of the ways he can show strength is daily right now, be hundred percent for having been on vacation for three weeks while the ukrainian frontline is collapsing. he has been begging for six months, six months for the republicans to pass this aid and again, there are now away on a long weekend, they punted just one week government funding he went to the border. he should be attacking them on tanking the border bill and going to war with them. and instead ukraine has collapsing. and frankly,

the president will own that if ukraine and i have talked about this, but it was baffling to me after the after after trump tank, this bill with aid to ukraine, aid for israel, and this very, very strict border reform law that they weren't on the air the next day, pummeling him, that there wasn't like a full-court press on all democratic surrogates, and that the president didn't go down down to the border than what i would concern me about that piece was the president expressed confidence that's fine. but there was this strange lack of urgency about this race, like we got this. well, look, you're right. nobody has got this trump, doesn't have it. biden doesn't have it. it's a close race, but it's going to be a very difficult race. and you've got to fight it every single day. >> well, i'm interested because i mean, this piece is also talking about this trump himself and biden says that he doesn't think trump would

concede the election if he loses, that he was saying that he totally would tried, to the quote was he says losers, who were losers or never graceful. i just think he'll do anything to try to win if and when i when i think you'll contest it no matter what the result is. but even though mcdonald's and one of his top campaign advisers now wants to focus on democracy. you said people in scranton aren't talking about democracy. >> look, i think i feel desperately concerned about this issue you were there, you saw what happened on january 6. i think prompt to 0.0 will be the delta variant of democracy. i think he'll be that much more difficult to contain all of that said, i think that the people who are sitting around their kitchen table talking about this are people who aren't concerned about what they paid for the groceries that are on the kitchen table, that if you're living with the concerns about inflation and sort of the day-to-day concerns of life. if you're if you don't have the privilege not to then you're probably not

talking about that. and so i think he should continue to talk about this issue. i think it's an important issue, but he has to talk about other things as well. >> yeah. you can walk and chew gum on this. you can on the one hand talk about the importance of democracy and on the other hand, talk about the importance of american strength and how republicans are blocking you from projecting the american strength. that's going to protect taiwan and push back against it's china it's so interesting, he carries around that little card of trump's most alarming comments to him that he pulls be a big card. >> let's see how long it is. >> we didn't. evan also said write that david axelrod, adam kinzinger, great to have you both here tonight. also tonight, you heard what we mentioned earlier, the estate of the late irish singer sinead o'connor has now just enjoying the list of roughly two dozen artists banning trump from using their songs at his campaign rallies.

could this happen twice, he signed a $2 million severance agreement with the trump organization to not testify unless he was legally required to do so. but now this new plea makes him a repeat offender on the list of people in trump's orbit to face jail time. here to talk about that is former white house counsel for president richard nixon, john dean, and john, i just think when you look at this i mean, i think people who have known the trump organization for awhile surprises the second time this is happening, but i wonder if you think this guilty plea could actually strengthen alvin bragg, the district attorney here in new york, in his hand, when that case against trump in new york starts later this month indirectly, it certainly strengthens his hand because it tells others in the trump organization they risk not to lie >> because there'll be prosecuted if they do and there's it wasn't clear that weisselberg was going to be a witness. there was rumor that he might testify, but he's

clearly been disqualified as a witness now, with a perjury wrap so they don't dare bring him and put him on the stand. so yes. and that sense, i think bragg has strengthened his position >> well, wonder what you make of the response from trump's legal team. they're saying that that alvin bragg and others are accusing them of engaging in prosecutorial misconduct for pursuing these perjury charges against him and not pursuing them against michael cohen is longtime ally, turned witness against trump >> well, first of all, michael cohen was a witness for the southern district of new york. that's where he worked at his plea arrangement. and the reason they didn't do a plea deal per say, is that michael was unwilling to tell his entire life story. and his father-in-law, his life story and everything. but he did reach an accommodation on what they had and i think he's been

so truthful so long that it qualifies him as a good witness. he is testified in grand juries. he's testified before the congress, so he's a known quantity. but this case that they're bringing is not a a witness heavy case. it's a document case he's all so michael and all the witnesses will be heavily corroborated, and that's the strength the jury looks for, and they're just looking at documents and getting somebody to fill in what they mean. so i don't think that this is any negative for the prosecutor and a standard operating procedures there's not surprising they accused it of being accused of prosecutorial excesses. that's standard for defendants in most instances. >> you know, >> this is not this is standard operating procedure the other thing here is allen weisselberg. i think is actually a bit younger than trump by a few years. but whatever he went to jail, trump was very shaken by it. we heard

from sources because he just kept saying, i can't believe they sent that old man to jail. that was the quote that he would relate to people privately. but when you look at the big picture of the fact that this is the second time it's happening to him. it reminded me of something that trump's attorney general, bill barr said to me last summer about the dangers of people who are loyal to trump their. lives turned upside down by trump to pursue this >> caper of his. and he leaves in his wake ruined lives like this. the people who went up to capitol hill, these individuals, many of the people who served them in government that got sucked into things and he just leaves all this carnage in his wake. >> you think he cares about that? no, he doesn't care about that. loyalty is a one-way street for him >> is that how you see this here? john, learning about this this second plea deal for

weisselberg. >> well, just just watching trump over the years, we know that's the case that loyalty as a one-way street, he's almost never does anything for anybody else other than himself or it's transactional. these doing something for that reason. he is he is not a natural leader. he is a natural strong man with his natural bully who wants it his way. so i've weisselberg has made a deal with the devil and he's paying a very steep price john dean, thank you for joining tonight >> thank you >> as we mentioned, this story tonight, the breaking is quite remarkable. it's about a retired army lieutenant colonel who is now facing 30 years in prison after he was apparently catfished and to giving up classified military secrets. 63 year-old david slater has just been indicted. he works for the air force. he had a top-secret

netanyahu back in israel i want to bring in evelyn farkas, who has spent decades working on foreign policy, including as deputy assistant secretary for defense for russia, ukraine, and eurasia at it's great to have you here between hearing that comment yesterday from the vice president, which was explicit, without a doubt, the strongest one that we have seen from this administration between that in these meetings with benny gantz, that he's not just having with harris, but also with the secretary of state, but national security adviser, what's do you believe the white house is sending? >> yeah, kaitlan, i think the white house is finally coming out, although still not using the president, but using the vice president to very publicly signal to the israelis that they need to get behind a ceasefire. and if it's not going to be permanent, then at least make it six what did she say? six weeks. so this is different because the administration has been trying this policy of basically hugging israel in public and

speaking firmly in private. and this worked for them in 2021, but it hasn't been working now. and i say 2021 because there was another 11 day conflict flipped in gaza. then under this administration that's how they handled it. then they thought probably that they could handle it this way now, and it hasn't worked obviously to the great tragic end result that we see in gaza. now that's a really >> interesting point of a tried and true tactic they believed then how it's, how it's working this time because the other thing she mentioned yesterday was more aid more aid needs to get into gaza now. and over the weekend, we saw the us after that chaotic and deadly moment last week where gazans were killed, either because the idea of open fire or they were run over by aid trucks as they were leaving and fleeing the scene. there were airdrops happening over the weekend into gaza. and i wonder what you make of the fact that it's gotten to this point because obviously airdropping aid is not the most logistically sound or safest

way to get that aid to people who so desperately need it. >> right? and kaitlan, you're not usually airdropping assistance in if your ally controls access to that territory. i mean, israel has three potential areas of entry into gaza where you could bring trucks in and they've been in charge of the process, of course, with the egyptians on the southern side. but they should be able to get more assistance. and that's been made abundantly clear by a lot of critics from the outside. so the airdrops are really a very sad kind of recognition that we don't have enough leverage with the israelis and others the other development today is the united nations reports a team from them reported that they have clear and convincing information that hostages or >> raped some of them gang-raped on october 7. and they said that they found that they do believe sexual violence is likely ongoing and has found clear and convincing evidence that the hostages we're being held still in gaza are being

assaulted. i wonder what you make of the impact of this report >> well, one, it doesn't surprise me, kaitlan because we have been hearing reports of this dance senior has a podcast where he interviewed one of the women who found the bodies of the women. so there are teams of israel israeli women who go in and take the israeli women soldiers in hostages. and they found evidence of rape. and already had discussed that. but now that the united nations has gone in and said, okay, we did a study and we the independent neutral arbiter, if you will of experts in this has said that this was the case. the world can't turn away and more needs to be done. and clearly these poor women who are still being held, their circumstances may be quite dire >> to include >> potential pregnancy or something like that. so i think that does complicate matters on

all levels and maybe best not to speak too much about it until their homes safely. >> evelyn farkas, as always, glad to have your expertise on the show. >> thank you. >> coming up back here in the united states, a notable announcement in philadelphia, bob costas will be here as a kelce brother, announces that he is retiring from the nfl motional press conference today. what's next for jason kelce >> the lame the ct. given >> isn't going to protect it i places out there i've got to do this >> it might us will follow you know what his bad at this as you think >> man and the lost kingdom. now streaming exclusive so we

fulfilled in the city of brotherly love here tonight >> legendary sportscaster bob costas and bob, i mean that last moment there where he was talking about how obviously he's spent his 13 year career entirely with philadelphia and was talking about his passion and being there, matching the city's passion for that team, it was philadelphia sports fans are passionate. sometimes they're very, very tough. they've broken players that every support baseball, football, basketball, hockey, but if you can endure it and if you excel, they embrace you not just while you're playing, he's a philadelphia sports hero for the rest of his life. obviously, he and his brother travis, both being football players, they have a tremendous bond and they have helped to lift each other but travis plays the more glamorous position, tight end even though

the eagles have twice bend to the super bowl, once against travis's chiefs and once against tom brady's patriots on the that one in 2018, even though jason has been there twice, travis has been there four times, winning three times, and the chiefs have taken over as america's team at least for the time being. and as you mentioned, trump travis is now connected to taylor swift. all of that has lifted jason kelce is fame, and i'm sure he be the first to acknowledge it when travis kelce, guest host saturday night live, jason kelce shows up in one of the sketches and the audience immediately recognizes him. and the two of them do podcasts together. so while travis is certainly going to have a higher q quotient recognized by more americans. jason, that high tide lifts those boats. i'm sure that there'll be doing appearances and endorsements together for the foreseeable future. sure. >> yeah. what does a post nfl life look like for him? do you think because i mean, yeah, you did see his brother sitting there in the front row. they

embraced as soon as he was he's done. you mentioned their podcasts, which is one of the top podcasts. you know, they're in commercials together. they're doing, they're having bobbleheads that the cavaliers game tomorrow night. they grew up in the cleveland area yeah. i just wonder with something like that, that is relatively new actually to america to see their brotherhood and their friendship. what is next for someone like, yeah well, he's a very well-spoken and likable guy, and now he has a relatively high profile. so broadcasting is always a possible path. he's, got a young family, he's got three children unlike travis who was a carefree bachelor connected to perhaps the world's most famous single woman. so there's a difference between the two of them. they're also a difference in the position they played. center is a brutal position. the game itself is brutal. but if you want to talk about bloods sweat, and tears, that's what jason went through and that was part of the emotion he showed today. he was only a sixth round draft

choice. he was always kind of underrated. he always had to prove people wrong. it's not a glamour position. and here he is likely five years from now to wind up in the hall of fame in canton every center who has been all-pro or gone to the pro bowl as often as he has in past nfl history, has wound up in the hall of fame. >> it is a special moment to see you, two siblings in any sport, not just football. we've seen it in other sports at the top of their games. these two brothers obviously playing different positions. but, but to compare them to the manning brothers or venus and serena williams where we've seen this phenomenon play out of these siblings that everyone loves to watch, that it's added to that by the fact that there's two of them from the same family competing at the highest levels of the same sport? >> yeah. and once they happen to meet in the super bowl just a year or so ago, they met on the super bowl. remember mama kelce saying, thank goodness they both play offense, so they

never on the field against each other. they're never going to collide with each other. head to head. >> and it was a very close >> game, as you may remember, and kansas city want it over philadelphia. and then you see that, seeing that the two of them embracing in a different way, jim harbaugh going back to the nfl now with the charges in michigan, come on with michigan. >> yeah. well, i know it hurts to bring up to a crimson tide router like you, but a decade or so ago, he was the coach of the 49ers and his brother john harbaugh is still the coach of the ravens. they coached against each other in the super bowl. the game went down to the very last play, heartbreaking defeat for jim. and then you see the two of them embrace and they say to each other i love you. i mean, that's a bond that's greater than teammates, greater than the game >> yeah, it is. it's great to watch and it was a nice moment today to see his brother sitting there in the front row, bob costas, great to have you back on. thank you for joining thanks a lot.
