6:01 pm
highlighting his cognitive struggles, but as per usual, the mob, the media, they raced to his defense. take a look. >> i thought it was good for him to show who he is. this is not handlers, this is not pollsters, this was joe biden, you know, sort of letting everybody know where he is coming from and how he feels. i think that that makes him seem more youthful and more engaged, more human, more relatable. >> if you want to get to the age thing, let's call it what it is, it's ages some clearing of any wrongdoing, if some of you says you are too far left, you contacted the center. there's -- the man is 80 years old. he rides a bike. >> sean: let me educate our friends from the mob and the media, according to the special counsel report, joe biden was presented as "a sympathetic well-meaning man with a poor memory who cannot even remember when he served as
6:02 pm
vice president." that's what they said in the report and asking on day one of the interview with the special counsel "if it was 2013, when did i stop being vice president? on day 2 asking in 2009, am i still vice president? and in what is probably the saddest part of the entire report and it is sad, joe cannot remember within several years when his son beau died. they were so damning they rushed him out to a podium way past his bedtime to defend his memory and obvious cognitive struggles, well, that did not go well. you know, i am an elderly man and i know what the hell i am doing. know you don't. >> president biden, something special counsel said in the report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because in his description you are a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.
6:03 pm
>> i am well-meaning and i am an elderly man, and i know what the hell i am doing, i am putting the country back on its feet. my memory is fine. >> when you were asked about your age, you responded with the words watch me. and the american people have been watching and they have expressed concerns about your age. >> that is your judgment. that is not the judgment of the press. >> sean: here with reaction, fox news contributor, the one and only joe concha is with us. i don't know what my favorites are, ages, or he can ride a bike, but dignity also fall off that bike? i just have this vague memory of that. all the anger, poor liberal joe, i thought he was going to have an aneurysm he was so angry. but however, it just fits the pattern. this has been going on for a long time, they have been ignoring it. they will make a big deal if
6:04 pm
trump mixes up nancy pelosi and kamala harris, but lucid for two straight hours and interviews that i have had with him. let's not take that into consideration, but i guess it's a predictable reaction, right? >> sean, some of the clips you played are incredible, the cnn clip is something else. they think during that disaster of a press conference last night more youthful and more engaged? at no point in the rambling incoherent responses that are watch last night where they even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. everyone in this country is dumber for having listened to that analysis. as far as rachel maddow's bike argument, the real question is can she successfully ride a bike? they must have video somewhere from last summer where he actually falls down while riding in front of reporters. in rachel's defenses about the unintentional comedy you will ever see. my kids could ride a bike by the time they were four years old, so i'm not sure how operating a schwinn proves that a person is
6:05 pm
mentally fit. and rachel is supposed to be the smart one over there. she should just go back to working one day a week at this point. but overall, seriously. can you believe that the week he has had, the worst of his presidency going back to the afghanistan withdrawal. he cannot remember the name of hamas. he took to france while mitterrand recently who only died 40 years ago, did he get napoleon's voice mail, how did that go? he said that he spoke to home and coal? the german chancellor who died years ago as well and spoke to them about january 6. then the geniuses at the white house comp shop thought it was a swell idea to put joe biden out there hastily assembled press conference at 745 last night and we saw how that went. it was joe biden and its grandpa simpson were now apparently mexico borders on gaza according to our commander in chief. you have been talking about it for years and now democrats are waking up to the fact that this man should not be in office for think about it about five more years if he wins reelection.
6:06 pm
and this is a guy who expects to lead the country while going on more vacations and cork gears wald. many voters are saying give us somebody else please. >> sean: i call that my memory is fine, i am an elderly man, i know what the hell i am doing press conference. the other one who had a decent amount of honesty was paul begala saying that anybody with a functioning brain knows that it was a terrible report and presser, and when you think about it, the list of prominent names from the obama and clinton era are growing. you've got david axelrod, man jones, obama people. he had james carville, clinton people, they are stating the obvious. you have maureen dowd at "the new york times." views are pretty prominent left-wing voices in the country that i think probably people will listen to. are they saying are they going to take it the next step that he is not qualified to be pres president? >> that's a problem, sean.
6:07 pm
it's like a math equation, a+b=c, they have the letter a part which is joe biden should not be running for office again when 76% of americans in an nbc news poll just taken don't think that he has a mental fitness for the job, that is a devastating number. to the problem is the b part of the equation. who replaces him? it's like saying, this quarterback can't play anymore, he is horrible, okay, who is a backup? is it kamala harris? because if she is the emergency plan, she might lose 45 states if she is the nominee. that's how absolutely untrusted and unpopular she is with democratic voters could so that will look to gavin newsom? i guess, maybe. look at his record in california, then the bench from there, you tell me who backed appeals joe biden at this point and tell me if joe biden looks like a guy who is ready to hand over the key is to the car at this point? he thinks he could be donald trump again and seems to be the last one to know that he has a cognitive decline.
6:08 pm
>> sean: joe concha, we appreciate it. not part of the blue check mark media mob colt as a credit to him. this week joe biden's cognitive struggles were indisputable. if you don't believe me, let's run few examples. just last night, joe biden confuse the president of mexico and the president of egypt, take a look. >> the conduct of the response in gaza strip has been over the top. i think that as you know, initially the president of mexico did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in. i talked to him. i convinced to open the gate. >> sean: he also made this comment while speaking in virginia yesterday, he did not
6:09 pm
have time to play with all the breaking news. look. >> and i said -- when i push these programs i said i'm going to be the president of everybody living in a group red stater green state, and i would drive some of you crazy that a lot of these things are happening in red states, but the americans need help. >> sean: how many of you watching tonight live in a green state? now speaking at a campaign event in vegas, he recalls having a conversation with former french president need iran in 2021, only problem is he died in 1996. take a look. >> right after i was elected, he went to what they call a g7 meeting, all of the nato leaders and i was in the south of england, and i sat down and i said, america is back. and from germany, i mean, from france looked at me and said -- said, you know how long are you
6:10 pm
back for? >> sean: this was not the only time he remembered having a conversation with a dead person this week alone during a fund-raiser in new york on wednesday joe biden reportedly claimed to have spoken to the former german chancellor home at school, he died in 2017. and at that 2021 g7 summit, it was actually angela merkel who was there. you know, look, on a serious note and all of this, this is getting scary. democrats are at the point where they can't deny what the world is clearly seeing. remember, president xi is watching, putin is watching cummings kim jong un is watching, and the mullahs in iran are watching, but the democrats don't have the courage to do what is right. and a former aide described democrats dilemma. taken the nomination away from joe biden is like taking the car keys away from your parents. i'm sorry, but that's ridiculous, this is not about his feelings.
6:11 pm
it is about being the leader of the free world. this is about his ability to be the president. we put it to you this way, and i am being serious. this is not a joke, to quote joe. would you hired joe biden to manage your finances? would you hire him to drive your kids to school? or what about making a life altering decision for you? do you think he is even capable of directing traffic at this point? what about those nice people that you meet at the door when you enter walmart or target the tell you where you can find the department you are looking for? i don't think he's up to the job, because i doubt he could remember were all of those departments are. and by the way, this is not a joe biden of 2008 let alone 2019. just imagine, what will he be like in four years from now? here with reaction, fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. to know back in 2020 and you are on this program talking
6:12 pm
about it that he clearly was showing signs of cognitive struggles and decline and then look at him and fast-forward, you know, four years later, not only were we right, but now like any cognitive issue, it is degenerative, you would know more about this than me being the doctor that you are, and that means it's never going to get better and it's only going to get worse and it looks like we are seeing the worst part now that was described in this report. >> i have a lot of ways to talk about this, and i tell you, i feel compassionate for all of the slippage if it weren't for the fact that as you said, he has his hands on the nuclear football. and in terms of fitness, i compared him to my hundred-year-old father who by the way is totally with it and knew when mitterrand died in 1996, and knew when joe biden was vice president, and when his son died. so it's not about age here. it's about mental acuity and fitness as you say. let me tell you what worries me the most, sean, it's as you lose
6:13 pm
your memory, you lose short-term memory first. as we saw in 2019, 2020, and i was concerned then. now we are talking about long-term memory, that goes next and that's more sinister where he knows he wants to talk about the president of france, but it can't remember his name, so he sticks in an old president of france in hopes that goes over, but everybody sees that. he's trying to -- >> sean: but dr. siegel, does he really know that he is just filling in the name western mark or he does not know? i think he doesn't know which would make it worse. >> i think he doesn't know, that's the next point i was going to get to. i agree with you. it's that you are the last to know. and joe concha pointed to that. you are the last to know, everyone around you sees it, but you are defensive. and it's sad. if you are not president, it's sad. you don't want to admit it, so you get angry. and that hostility that you saw last night is very typical of somebody showing slippage. let me tell you the worst thing
6:14 pm
of all, where his doctors? how dare you not come forward? where is the information in the mri? we have been asking for the mri for three or four years now. where is the testing? where the doctors to say what the heck is going on here. i know what is going on. i don't even need the medical record at this point because it's so clear that if somebody does not know -- if the president does not know who the president of egypt versus mexico, how is he going to decide on decisions that affect the gaza war? that's clear to every american right now, but it's not about age, it's about fitness. and not just fitness to run this year, fitness to serve right now. and i want to hear from his physicians right now. >> kat: dr. siegel, thank you. an interview with fox news digital today, foxnews.com, missouri senator josh charlie made great points. he is calling on the attorney general to either invoke the 25th amendment if the doj declines to charge saying that the report noted the elements for crime were present. they were very clear in this
6:15 pm
report they could not of been more clear. but they chose not to charge based on his mental state. well, that's not a reason not to charge somebody. so with the growing concerns over his real cognitive ability and decline, becoming more likely that joe biden will be forced to stop his reelection campaign, so what does that mean for democrats? remember according to a recent nbc news poll only 20% of respondents had a favorable view of kamala harris. earlier today she got very angry reacting to the special counsel's damning report claiming that the whole thing was politically motivated -- motivated. really? take a look. >> so the way that the president demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts, and clearly politically motivated. gratuitous. >> sean: here with reaction,
6:16 pm
fox news contributor newt gingrich is back with us. look, the media coming you just see how corrupt they are. how abusively biased they are. it kind of expect it out of them. i will never expect any real news from left-wing talk show host that claimed that they are journalists. kamala harris, she is in no position to challenge him. however, this report is what it is. so first your initial reaction to it all? >> well, look, i think that to the very clear language and the very clear examples that are in the special report put on the table a very straightforward challenge. this is not about politics. this is about the survival of the united states. you have to worry about north korea, taiwan, he ran, all of the middle east, ukraine. we are now told we have a president based on the department of justice report who
6:17 pm
really does not get it anymore. so at a minimum, i think that the congress should demand a cognitive test by outside sources and if he is in fact as bad as the special attorney said he is, i think they have to invoke the 25th amendment. as much as i disagree deeply with kamala harris, she is at least rational, i think, and she is probably less of a danger to the country then joe biden who does not know what is going on? remember, he is literally the person who can start a nuclear war or he is the person who can avoid a nuclear war by doing the right things. and everything we are seeing, he is just not there. so you don't know which staff person is making which decision, but it's clear that joe biden isn't. and i think after yesterday my whole opinion changed, because that report, and every american
6:18 pm
to read the key parts of that report, it is so bad and so clear, that you can't allow this guy to be commander in chief. not as a political decision, but as a matter of national sur survival. >> sean: when the report points out that joe biden has significant limitations with his memory, when he was dealing with his ghost writer in 2017, and with the interviews that they had with her's office in october of last year and they said to that he did not remember the years he was vice president, was i still vice president in 2009 and what about 2013? was i fast president? he does not know. and sadly did not even remember what in several years when his son beau died. that either means come on top of it, he willfully retained and disclosed classified materials. so, regardless of what hur
6:19 pm
included, i think it's incumbent upon merrick garland, he should either indict, because they are saying he broke the law, or invoke the 25th amendment. it has to be one or the other from my perspective. were everything that has been investigated regarding the weaponization of the doj is all proven by the treatment of hillary and joe versus donald trump. >> well, i think at a minimum, merrick garland, the attorney general has to drop the trial against trump. because if you look at everything hillary did and did not get charged and then you look at the very specific things that biden dead including by the way, his coauthor erase the tapes just as hillary erased 32,000 emails, his coauthor erase the tapes of their conversations so it is much harder now would to figure out what they did talk about that was secret. and this idea that documents
6:20 pm
happen to be in his garage next to the corvette, but they were really okay. i think that secondary, i would've said this is a big deal, but i think the cognitive part is so much greater a threat to the country that's we have to insist that somehow he be tested, and if he can't be tested, then i think that we have to insist that they implement the 25th amendment. i can't overstate this. nuclear war can be a matter of minutes. the idea that this guy, particularly when as a secretary of defense that goes awol, but we without leave for a week and does not even tell him, well, answering the question if he had told him, would joe biden have remembered to? i mean, i think that this is really not funny. woodrow wilson had a very serious stroke and was totally incapacitated, his wife actually ran the government for about a
6:21 pm
year, but that was after world war i. as a relatively peaceful time and she literally would not let anyone talk to them. we now have a president who has to make decisions that potentially involve nuclear war. and i think to allow that to be a person who is clearly mentally incompetent is terrifying. >> sean: i can't say it any better and i agree with everything you're saying, speaker gingrich, thank you. when we come back on the super bowl friday night, g.o.p. lawmakers are sounding the alarm on tight ends cognitive decline. even democrats know this derek let max garrick tactics are all the biden campaign has left. as we continue our coverage.

6:27 pm
>> sean: all right, republican lawmakers, they have been raising concerns over biden's mental fitness now for many years and after yesterday it's really damning report and the press conference, they are speaking out and questioning whether biden should be replaced on the 2024 ticket and even democrats know how much trouble joe is in. this morning democratic strategist paul begala admitted that the only chance of winning is by using anti-trump scare tactics. that's all they have been doing anyway. take a look. >> this is terrible for democrats and anybody with a functioning brain knows that. but here's what you do. instead of going to the press conference and saying i really am sure, you attack the other guy. joe biden gave the strategy in 2012, he goes, i remember he was vice president and he said don't compare us to the almighty, kent paris to the alternative. so everything has to be not i am great, but the other guy is really damaging, dangerous, a
6:28 pm
threat. >> sean: senator rand paul poked fun at the gaffes with this post on x saying he is going to build a wall with gaza and make mexico pay for it. and boy, they are going to be confused. anyway, kentucky senator rand paul joins us now. it's been transparent for a long time, the media mob, i don't even think that they are in denial. i just think they are a bunch of liberal hacks that claim to be journalists that aren't journalists. so i think it's very transparent, but you know, newt just touched on something really important. this is dangerous now. it's officially dangerous. our enemies read this report ending of a summary of this report this morning. and i could only imagine the reaction. >> it would be funny if it weren't tragic and if it weren't scary. think about that of the bar for trying someone for competency is very, very low. usually we try people with a bare minimum of intelligence, they try to ask them if they
6:29 pm
know right from wrong. if you can discern right from wrong, you can actually be try to most courts even with limited intelligence. so you have to realize that they are judging our president to be below that's very low standard of competence that he could not go through a trial because people would perceive him as may be unable to understand the difference between right and wrong. and with a memory so bad that he's basically not competent for trial. we have never had a president with that low of standard and it isn't just tragic or funny, it's scary, because yes, we have a nuclear arsenal complicated decisions would have to be made within minutes if someone were attacking us. and yes, this does give our enemies a window into a situation that is very, very dangerous. and for the democrats to say, oh, we will just ignore his incompetence to the level of not even being competent that he could be tried and say, let's just attack the other guy, sometimes political attacks work, but there been so many
6:30 pm
attacks on trump that he is the king of tough blonde that so much of it bounces off, but this will stick to joe biden and i think you will have a difficult time running, they can try putting them in the basement like they did during covid and frankly that's about all they can do. they should take them off of the trail and put them in a basement, but we should not relent in pointing out that he can't even pass the competency test to be tried as an adult. >> sean: these are devastating comments that he had and displayed significant limitations in memory. he did not remember when he was vice president. he did not know if -- was i still vice president in 2009? in 2013? whatever year it was. and he does not know these things, but they did conclude that he willfully retained and disclosed classified materials. i don't think you get to have it both ways. i don't think you get to say yeah, he definitely did this willfully, but because he is a cognitive mass and is going to
6:31 pm
come off as a nice guy with memory loss that no jury will convict him that that is a way out. and i think josh hawley is right in that sense in saying either indict him or invoke the 25th amendment. but i don't think it will get us out of this attorney general. he has been weaponized in that department to such an extent he would never see an act of courage like that ever. >> sean: i think it's important if we are talking about the classified records but there will be a different standard, but it even goes beyond that, equal protection under the law when we have failed that in our country when it did not seem to be adhered to during the 1950s and 60s or maybe before for african americans, and lead to civil strife in our country. and we got beyond that, but it was very difficult time in our history and we meet the law better. we have equal protection regardless of race and do a much better job than we did 50, 70 years ago. but if you don't have equal justice under the law because of that shade of your ideology, it
6:32 pm
can be just as bad. there can be strife. there can be unrest. there can be civil discord. there can be a real problem in a country if this extends where only certain people are prosecuted in other people aren't. and people are seeing this. look at january 6th. many of the people prosecuted under january 6 had similar crimes to the women that chained themselves and writhed on the floor in the heart of his building protesting against justice kavanaugh. they were told to leave, did not leave. and we have always treated trespassers as a form of speech and their punishment was to be made to leave. >> sean: as her doctor, i will urge you to take a slight sip of water. marco will never play it down. as an acting doctor on

error, they put the wrong name in the teleprompter. i'm not mad at anybody. little lapses have been all of our memories. that's fine, but that's not what we are looking at when we see joe biden. joe biden what he has been saying and doing and how bad this is, and he can't remember whether he is talking to people that lived a long time ago or in the present. i mean, this report is devastating and it is so flagrant and so often that it is a big problem. he is the president of our country. that's the best example they can come up with? i have better examples of when i screwed up, better than that. clearly grasping at straws. here with reaction, fox news contributor lisa boothe and matt gaetz is with us as you can see on your screen. i'm sorry, that's jason chaffetz again. lisa, you're laughing. i mean the outcome of course, everybody misspeak's occasionally. that's not what we are discussing here.

that's not the cognitive decline we are referring to. >> i'm pretty sure you are not falling off of stationary bikes or needing to be escorted by the easter bunny away from people. so those things aren't happening for you. i love how rachel maddow was like, riding the bikes, he also falls off of them while they are stationary. one of my points or frustration with all of this is joe biden's current mental incapacitation does not exonerate the decades of corruption that are laid out in this report. and i think one of the biggest lies told him it is when robert hur says that joe biden is well-meaning. what is well-meaning about agents finding classified documents dating back to the 1970s, in the 1980s when he was a united states senator? what is well-meaning about joe biden telling us ghostwriter that he has classified information? and i just don't want to turn it in. this is not a one-off or a mistake, this is 36 years in the senate, eight years as
6:42 pm
vice president intentionally and willfully mishandling classified information and having the audacity to -- the hypocrisy, the air against to go on "60 minutes" and condemn donald trump knowing full well what he has done throughout his entire career and then donald trump is the one facing up to 450 years and joe biden is just going to get a pass? >> sean: that's a great point. jason, one of the things i would like to see out of this is i guess they have five hours of videotape of joe biden's talking with the special counsel, i think republicans in the house need to subpoena that and i think that the american people need to see that. let them decide. is that doable? >> it's absolutely doable. if you are going to have the spokesperson, ian sams come out and say that it was totally a misrepresentation of what happens, there is one way to clear it up. and that is to release the tapes. and that's what they should do. chairman jordan should call
6:43 pm
special counsel hur to testify so the democrats can relive exactly what happened so they can ask him into their own questions and they really should release the tape. joe biden can unilaterally do that. he should absolutely do that. and by the way, to lisa's point which was spot on. there is no fact pattern where united states senator takes classified information home. you are not to be in possession of it ever. there's no scenario in which that is legal, lawful, or anything else. for it to be willful, he should of been prosecuted. >> sean: i think he needs to be complied on turning over the tapes. i don't think it should be him, i think it's a special counsel that they should mandates that he bring those tapes an end that the american people should have an opportunity to see them. do you see any obstacle to prevent that from happening? >> they will come up with some obstacle because it's joe biden.
6:44 pm
they don't exactly play by the rules. since they are not going to prosecute him, there is nothing out there to prohibit that. they should be able to go get those tapes and again, joe biden can put an end to this right now here today by saying what they said is wrong, and then go ahead and release them right now. >> sean: we will give you the last word, lisa boothe. >> i guess if you are democrats, you get to the bleach bid emails and destroy evidence with hammers, your ghostwriter can delete the files on the audio recordings, that's what you get to do when you are democrat, if you are a republican you face 91 indictments and 450 years in jail specifically for donald trump's handling of these documents. but this is really devastating for democrats politically. it validates americans concerns mental fitness, and gives donald trump the fuel for saying this is a witch hunts, look what they are doing to me, look what they are doing to joe biden.

and it undermines the whole threat to democracy. when he is the guy who has done this to route 36 years in the senate and then eat as vice president. i do think they are spiraling right now, because they realize this is damning. >> sean: great to see you both. just kidding, jason, thank you. it is super bowl weekend and we will check in with the stephen a. smith. get his predictions for the big game and we'll talk about joe's cognitive states with my friend, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

out of trouble. i have had people spying on him, getting ready for the big game. >> first of all, a couple of things. i'm very, very proud of you. i am accustomed to you acting like you know everything, so you you would do usually call a guest to talk about the super bowl, you would just pontificate about what was going to happen, but you called your man, the way to go. very smart, congratulations. what's up? >> sean: if you come out with your a game, i will call you o out. special counsel, not sean hannity, your body. buddy. you learn from the special counsel that joe biden is a cognitive mess, did not return the time when his son died and did not remember when he was vice president, asking questions about was i vice president in 2009? when did it and? and earlier this week you sent me a note during this live program, and what did you say? you are talking about is cognitive decline again? i'm like well, you can say it
6:51 pm
now. sean hannity has been right all along. say it. >> percival, i don't remember saying you were wrong, i said you are disrespectful. there is a difference. i said there are nicer ways to speak about our president. you can sit up there and say he is a bit slow, communicatively, obviously a little but not the pep and a step that he once had. he is in his 80's, for crying out loud. respect their elders. i said think about them instead of saying a cognitive mess, could you not be nicer about it? that is what i said to you and i'm still saying it to you. >> sean: he cannot remember when he was vice president. we feel really sorry for him, but it's a serious issue. let's move on, the funny thing is our world commented during his show and we've had a great friendship for all these years. and we don't agree on everything politically. you did have a great comment by the way and i want to point this out. you did say against the $53 million pilot program in
6:52 pm
these prepaid cards that they are giving the illegal immigrants in new york, only 500 of them, 500 people gaining $5300 and you are right that will lead to a trump victory, you are not wrong on that. >> i don't believe that i am wrong, regardless of the facts we can point to eric adams, we point at governor hochul, because she can be doing things better in the state of new york into our federal government who as far as i'm concerned is not doing enough to address the illegal immigration crisis in this country, even though we sort of have some differing opinions on that. to the bottom line is it is an issue when we can't sit up there and shove it aside particularly when you look at our borders in texas and arizona obviously and to some degree california. having said all of that, i think we have to look at it and think about it from this perspective. as a black man, when you tell me that $53 million in prepaid credit card program that that is going to be something that will be allocated to illegal
6:53 pm
immigrants, all i am saying is there are a whole bunch of black people that could have used that money. their whole bunch of homeless people that could have used that money. their whole bunch of legal migrants who could use that money. a whole bunch of folks in the latino community. and of course, let me not forget the veterans who served this country. when you take that into consideration, they are going to say wait a minute, our taxpayer dollars are going to this when there are a plethora of issues that are affecting us directly that you have ignored? we are not going to buy into that? and people are going to look in a different direction if the democrats don't get their act together and i think that's exactly what is on the verge of happening which is why we see the momentum shifting. >> sean: ives slowly been working on his politics and i have to defend them everywhere i go because people try to attack you to me, and he picked the wrong guy. stephen a is one of my best friends. let's talk about the big game on sunday. i don't know, i think we will end up agreeing on this.

i would say advantage to kansas city, travis kelce e, i just think they are too good and especially later in the season i felt i got stronger, they had a couple of weak games during the year and felt they were getting stronger, but what are your thoughts? we can have a bet by the way if you lose, how about you have to vote for donald trump? >> that will not happen. i'm not voting for him. you know how i feel. but i will tell you this, i will tell you this, when you look at the kansas city chiefs, here's the deal, the san francisco 49ers have better personnel on the offense of side of the ball. i think kansas city's defense is better than san francisco's. and when you take into account that patrick my homes gets to go against that san francisco decent somatic defense which can be formidable, but has been inconsistent this year it has the makings of a great super bowl because brock purdy for the san francisco 49ers as its quarterback with christian mccaffrey who is an mvp candidate with devo's annual,
6:55 pm
kittle, kyle shanahan, they can put up points in bunches at a moment's notice, will they do so against the kansas city chiefs defense that is ranked number two this year, i'm not sure. then you have to take into account i'm going against patrick mccombs who is the absolute best men and some peoples eyes the greatest quarterback we have ever seen even though they saw tom brady win seven verbal championships. that's how much of a about patrick holmes. three super bowl appearances, two super bowl titles, the two league mvps, this dude is on another level. and if there is a factor where you can just tip the scales, patrick holmes can single-handedly do that with his greatness. that's what this super bowl comes down to and it's going to be a real one to see. >> sean: i think that's a pretty good note to end the interview on, i will be negligent to say what is your score prediction? >> i will roll with the kansas city chiefs winning this
