You just saw it on the disappearance of her mom, Nancy. Hi, everyone. I'm Brian Kilmead. Welcome to One Nation. We have the latest in just a moment.
But first, just got to tell you what else we have in the show. We're also going to have Bill Bratton joining us, maybe the most decorated and respected police commissioner led three separate cities. Bill Bratton will be with us, along with his wife, Ricky Kleiman, who's a former Core TV anchor, also on the show Lee Zeldon, in his big move to cut more trade tape, red tape, in one swoop than any other time in American history. Also, New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh is going to be here talking about his titanic job, and that's turning the giants around. Can he do it?
But first, we begin with the Fox News Alert. Savannah Guthrie pleading with her mom's suspected captors, saying, It is never too late to do the right thing.
Meanwhile, a crucial piece of evidence may be emerging as the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its third week. DNA evidence may link a suspected kidnapper to To a glove recovered two miles from Guthrie's home, the FBI telling Fox News. That the glove appears consistent with those worn by the person seen in the surveillance footage, but officials stress the evidence is undergoing quality control and formal confirmation before it can be entered into the national database. That's perplexing.
Some question the authenticity of the glove, but are hoping for the best. This person has been incredibly Successful at hiding his identity. It's OJ-esque that somebody dropped a single glove two miles away.
So, you know, I hope. This is the real deal. There's something called a PCR test, which is a sophisticated DNA test. They have to send it to the lab to get the real confirmation, which I believe is what's going on right now. We hope more DNA evidence is expected in the next coming days as some results are still pending from a private lab that they chose to send it to in Florida.
The suspect in the case is described to be 5'9 to 5'10 inches tall, average build, I know not much to go on, wearing a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack, sold, we think, only at Walmart.
So let's get right to Max Gordon, live outside Nancy Cuthbert's home in Tucson, Arizona. Max. Hey there, Brian.
Well, it's absolutely heart-wrenching listening to that video that was posted on Instagram from Savannah Guthrie. You know, we've covered every single turn and twist in this investigation, all the new details that have been coming out, but I think it is really important to step back a little bit and just note that this is a story about a family whose mother is missing. These folks are so distraught, and you can tell just based on the expression on Savannah Guthrie's face, just the tone of her voice. All she wants at this point is to get her mother back. And one point in that video I thought was extremely compelling was when Savannah spoke directly to whoever might have her mother take a listen.
It is never too late to do the right thing. And we are here. Yeah. I We believe. And we believe in the essential goodness.
of every human being. It is not too late. That's what Savannah Guthrie has to say tonight.
Meanwhile, investigators are looking at a glove that they recovered from the side of the road about two miles away from Nancy Guthrie's house. The FBI says that it looks similar to the ones worn by the suspect. The gloves sent to a private lab in Florida for DNA testing. The preliminary results are now in, and authorities are waiting on official confirmation before putting the unknown male profile into the FBI's DNA database called CODIS. This process typically takes about 24 hours from when the FBI receives DNA evidence.
Investigators collected about 16 gloves in various areas near the house. Most of them belonged to searchers and had been discarded while looking for Nancy Guthrie. If the FBI does get a DNA hit here, it could help identify the suspect.
Now, here he is, seen on Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera, described as a male between 5'9 and 5'10 with an average build, seen carrying a 25-liter Ozark trailer. Hiker pack from Walmart.
Meanwhile, the search for Nancy Guthrie continues. Fox News Digital learned that authorities have been using a high-tech Bluetooth scanner placed on the bottom of a helicopter to try to detect Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker signal. The helicopter has been flying in low, slow grid patterns in an attempt to pick up a signal.
Now, back here at Nancy Guthrie's home, there hasn't been much of a law enforcement presence here, really just one sheriff's deputy looking over the scene, protecting the house. But neighbors have been stopping by, dropping off flowers, cards, and just praying here as this neighborhood grapples with what's happened. Back to you. Got it, Max. Thanks so much.
Joining us with fresh perspective on this case. Former NYPD, Boston Police Commissioner, and chief of the LAPD at one point, William Braddon, along with his wife, legal analyst, criminal defense attorney, former Savannah Guthrie colleague and Core TV anchor Ricky Cleveland. Ricky, let me start with you. You saw those words from Savannah Guthrie. You've seen her on camera.
You've seen her off camera. How would you describe that person today?
Well, the person you see today is the same person that I've gotten to know. This is someone who is kind, who is generous, who is real. And what we saw tonight, if it could get any worse in terms of our hearts just being torn apart, it just gets worse when you watch Savannah and see the pain that she and her family are going through. All she wants is to get her mother back. And it is clear that she wants to get her mother back.
Whether she is still alive, which she hopes, which people pray for, which she prays for, or even if she has passed, that they would like to have her mother. Back. Commissioner, what's going on in this case? As you see it from the outside, we're not briefed on the inside there. I really am making much of an effort to brief the press, to do some one-on-ones.
But the lack of coordination, perhaps between the sheriff and FBI, and collaboration, some are finding disturbing. But you're the expert. What do you think?
Well, there's a number of areas of concern at this time. One is that, to the best of my knowledge, There has been no proof of life supplied since the event, the initial kidnapping. or taking over. Secondly, it does not appear that there's a continuous stream of dialogue, if you will, between the kidnapper or kidnappers and law enforcement of the family. There's been several ransom notes as to their validity.
Uh who knows.
So that's a concern also. Normally in these situations, you want to have an ongoing dialogue. Thirdly, there is the issue of The effort on the part of the sheriff in particular and law enforcement in general at the coordination with the FBI. to try to one keep the public informed And to draw the public into the case with information that they might have that. as inconsequential as some of it might be.
You never know.
So to that end, the sheriff has been doing a lot of individual interviews, but Other than the one on day five, I think it was, where the FBI was first brought in. Haven't seen many joint appearances, which is unusual, where this is, in some respects, a dual investigation involving the FBI with their significant resources and the Sheriff's Department that would have less expertise in some of the areas of technology in particular.
So in terms of that issue, are there that are not apparent on the surface? Ricky, you and Bill also said, hey, has anyone checked the pharmacies to see if they got the medication that you would need for her own condition in the area? We're looking for the backpack, but maybe we should look for the CVSs, right, Ricky?
Well, I think so, though I would not be surprised if, in fact, they sent out a notice to pharmacists throughout the area. When I say the area, it would be at least as far as the Mexican border, which is 60 miles away, but also to doctors that if someone is requesting this medication, it was always in the kidnapper's best interest, if we assume that these ransom notes actually came from the kidnapper and not from someone else who was trying to take advantage of this situation. It was to their advantage to return Nancy Guthrie alive. And the way to keep her alive was to keep her on her medication. Commissioner, I can't imagine how many cases you've seen in your career in all the major cities, all the major crimes in your career.
And I look at this case, I just wonder flat out: if I was to tell you these are the facts, you've been following it, what do you think happened? I think my own opinion is that she was kidnapped. By a person or persons, and we still don't know for certain, is this a solo act, or are there several people involved? Uh, we have ransom notes to the illegitimacy. Who knows that uh You know, and then thirdly, the issue of the wide world of people who might Be involved in this.
And we've talked about family members were looked at, we've talked about neighbors, we've talked about. Utility personnel, the gardeners, the pool man who showed up just this past week. There's just a wide range of people that she would have interacted with this is one of the needle in the haystack aspects for the law enforcement community in terms of sorting through all these potential contacts. Even though she's an elderly woman in her eighties and some of her contacts might be limited, She seemed to be fairly socially active, her church groups, etcetera.
So there uh a large number of people who may have been going in and out of that house.
So the idea of the range of people look at uh is very large and now with the thousands upon thousands of leads coming in. Tips, etc., all of which have to be sifted through. responded to. Brian, we're seeing some of that the last day or so, some of these reports that your channel and others have been making about police initiatives.
So those are definitely coming from some of the chips coming in that have enough substance that law enforcement has to follow up with the stopping of a vehicle, the approach to a house, et cetera. And we'll probably see more of that in days ahead. Brian, if I can add to that too, being someone who has been on television for 30 years, and I have no fame that is anywhere near the level of Savannah Guthrie's, and I've received crazy letters in the days before email and crazy things on Twitter. And you have to, as a T V personality or a celebrity out there, you have to have people checking your social media. You have to have them checking threats in the mail.
And I'm assuming that these things concerning Savannah are being looked at in great detail and that anything that might be threatening in any way is being followed up. Good point. When we are on TV, a lot of times people look at us as the enemy, and that could have happened in this situation. And that's why there's a report in the Daily Mail today that Savannah Guthrie is thinking about not even going back to the Today Show. But we can understand the emotions are running wild, and we just hope to get her mom back.
Ricky Kleeman, Bill Bratton, there's no two better people we could talk to tonight. Thanks so much. Truly appreciate it. And joining us now with more for more private on this, it's a private investigator that worked the Natalie Holloway case, TJ Ward. TJ, quick question now.
Why is the new DNA from the glove so important, and why are we going to have to wait longer than one would think to get an answer if there is indeed a match?
Well, the DNA is going to be probably the biggest lead that they have right now. And once it's turned once they get it back from that private firm that just gave the information back and they turn it over to the FBI, it'll take probably about 24 hours and the FBI will probably be able to identify possibly who this person is, if it is actually the glove that they found.
So in hopes that this is the answer.
So let's hope this is what would happen. Once we identify one person, there may be other people involved that they will identify also. Tell me about what layered voice analysis is and why it's helped you in the past and could help in this case.
Okay.
Well, once these witnesses are talking, I can take the layered voice analysis, which is 95% accurate, and I can take and take the interviews and I can tell you whether they're lying or hiding something. I can do it in any language. I can do over the phone. I can do it live or from a recording. And I can tell you a fact if somebody's being truthful in what they're talking about.
So I think it would be very helpful in this case if we could use that once there's witnesses and persons identified that may be involved in this case. And that helped you with the Holloway case to find out who was really responsible, correct? Yes, I used the lawyer voice analysis. That was what got me involved in it. When I started seeing Deepak's Bandersloot and Satish on T V talking to the media, I started recording and started looking at their and I finally called Beth Holloway and told him they were not being truthful in what they were talking about.
I want you to hear Chris Wecker, former Assistant FBI director, has this theory about the case. Let's listen. I don't think the cartel issue is going to play out here. I think she left the house alive because her pacemaker disconnected at 2:30 in the morning, and we've heard nothing that she was not alive, and her heart wasn't beating at that time.
So, I think this was a home invasion that went bad. I think they took her away because they had roughed her up. And there's no telling where she is now. I mean, we hope that she's alive, but I think that's becoming a much more remote possibility here.
So I think I hate to say this TJs, does that scenario resonate with you? Maybe, but we'll just have to take a look at it and see. When you look at the DNA, how long could we have to wait to find out if there's indeed a match? Usually, 24 hours have been sent off to the FBI. The FBI has very sophisticated equipment, and they'll be able to learn and to be able to see and hopefully identify the person that that glove may have belonged to.
And hopefully, it is the glove that they identified and picked up two miles away. Hopefully, that is the glove that was used on this individual that tried to get into the residence. And would you offer your services to the investigators because you seem to have this very unique ability to maybe if they get a suspect in this case and they start questioning that suspect like they have a few other times? I would love to be able to get into it. I would be more than happy to use the layered voice analysis on this individual they find and be able to identify whether they're being truthful or not.
TJ Ward, nice having you tonight. Appreciate your insight, and hopefully, they'll give you a call.
Meanwhile, straight ahead: President Trump rolling back Obama-era greenhouse gas regulations. This is huge. Cutting massive red tape, putting American, getting Americans their money back. Also, Lee Zeldin coming up. Don't move.

Now, to the fastest, most impactful monologue in America. Global warming, then climate change. They told us there was no greater threat. They made a movie about it. Al Gore even won an Oscar.
In the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro. This is happening in Glacier National Park. Within 15 years, this will be the park formerly known as Glacier. Great movie. None of it came true.
But we still went out of our way to vilify all fossil fuels, oil, gas, everything else. The car is going off a cliff, and we're fiddling with the radio. We are way past climate denial.
Now, for some of us, it's already too late for some of it. The IPPP says, I can't even say their name, that's how serious this is. No, the IPCC says only transformational action right now will help us avert the worst of it. Really?
Well what about the riots, the protests, remember them? Oh no. Uh what is here? Yeah. Nut jobs.
The world was going to end. They took a whole generation. They filled them with anxiety. It ruined their childhood, if they even had one. If things didn't stop, they would say, the world's going to end tomorrow.
Danger posed by climate change cannot be denied. Our responsibility to meet it must not be deferred. If we continue down our current course, every member of this assembly will see. Irreversible changes within their borders.
Okay, the world didn't end. But it didn't stop that president from declaring a greenhouse gas emergency. He used his famous pen to bypass Congress and ink a Climate Endangerment Act. The left swooned. Our economy bled.
We lost an estimated $2 trillion, adding to the pain, the new Green Deal, a trillion-dollar boondoggle under President Obid Biden, I should say. Always said, oh, Biden, not really. But now we are finding out there's a way to be responsible with the environment and not destroy our economy and keep our superpower status. Yes, because after all, China is our number one economic rival. They're ramping up production of coal power plants at a dizzying rate while they're selling us and the world solar panels.
Who, we, by the way, were told by the left, the left-wing zealots, I should add, that burning coal is simply the worst thing you could ever do in life. Even though we in America happen to be the Saudi Arabia of coal, we have millions of Americans. And their families for generations making a living mining it.
Well, that all changed earlier this week when Trump and our EPA administrator officially ended the 2009 landmark legislation, which was a legal finding that says climate change poses a national threat to the public and that the green policies would ultimately prevail. That denying climate change would cancel you as a human being. It has nothing to do with public health. This was all a scam, a giant scam. This was a rip-off of the country by.
Obama and Biden. And let's say Obama started it and got it rolling. And a terrible rip-off. They'll have more money to spend for health care. If you look at it, now they can go out and spend it on something that's meaningful.
He's 100% right. And by the way, where are those protests? Where's the anger? Where are the extremists? They don't exist because the whole movement, I believe, was a ruse, a religion with no moral code.
Joining us now, the man at the forefront who made this happen, administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, better known, Lee Zeldin. Mr. Administrator, thanks so much. It was a big day.
What changes now? We're about restoring power to the people, consumer choice, more affordable cars. When you make trucks more affordable, a lot of these trucks are delivering the products that we buy. You're reducing the cost of living across the board.
Well, this is the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States, $1.3 trillion saved. For an American family, that means over $2,400 less that their new vehicle is going to cost them. It means that they could go out and buy a car without it including that climate participation trophy for manufacturers of that start-stop feature that just about everybody hates. It's about following the law, the rule of law, and having agencies that are run by people who are just going to follow the best reading of the law and statute. Rather than going rogue and putting trillions of dollars of new regulations on the American people, this is a big victory for freedom and choice.
So look at some of the time. As expected, the New York Times didn't love it. The Trump administration, they say, erases the government's power to fight climate change. Politico. Trump just wiped out 17 years of climate policy.
The Guardian says this. Trump's EPA repeals landmark climate funding is a gift to billionaire polluters. Your reaction to that retort. We're going to follow the law. The Supreme Court in recent years issued these decisions like Loperbright, West Virginia versus EPA, Michigan versus EPA.
These cases ended up making it very clear that one, a major policy like trillions of dollars of regulation maybe should be debated and voted on by Congress. The Supreme Court said that. Or what about in Loperbright overturning the Chevron Doctrine? They say that we have to follow the best reading of the law. No longer can somebody like me say, well, the law doesn't say that I can't, so therefore I can, as some head of an agency.
No, we've got to follow the law. If Congress wants to regulate the heck out of greenhouse gas emissions, then they can debate and vote on it and change federal statute. And guess what? If they change the law, then we'll follow that. And by the way, the New York Post, very much in support, a good picture.
If we want to take a shot of that, you see the president in the car essentially saying, you got it back. And that headline says, man on a mission. And that expands on what changes now.
So President Obama, not happy. Administration repealed the endangerment finding. The ruling that served as the basis for limits of tailpipe emissions without it will be less safe, less healthy, less able to fight climate change. Also, so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money. Al Gore, also not happy.
The Trump administration's rollback of the endangered finding is not only a direct assault on science, knowledge, and public health, it's an insult to the people across the country who are already coping with the disastrous consequences of climate-driven extreme weather events. Your answer to them. Notice that none of them are telling me to follow the law. None of them are citing the Clean Air Act and telling me to follow the law because they all know. What happened here?
When President Obama was in office, President Obama, his administration, his allies in Congress tried to change the Clean Air Act to give themselves the authority to do what they ended up eventually just deciding on their own: you know what, we can't get the votes, well, we're just gonna do it anyway. And throughout the Obama administration, the Biden administration, what started as an endangerment finding as it relates to mobile sources, they then expand to stationary sources, oil and gas, airplanes, and put forward trillions of dollars of regulation without ever getting the votes in Congress to pass a new law to be able to do what they just did on their own.
So, are you worried about the environment? Are you worried about the ozone layer? Are you worried about greenhouse gases? Where do you stand on that? Yeah, our core mission is protecting human health and the environment.
And with great pride, EPA on the one-year anniversary of President Trump's term in office put out a list of 500 top environmental accomplishments, and we're proud of it. Whether it's stopping raw sewage from coming across from Tijuana in Southern California, it was our historic agency response to the wildfires in LA and beyond, all across America, land, air, and water. We have been notching victories every single day, and we're damn proud of it. Real quick, you got another job. You're trying to straighten out everything in California.
People can't get rebuilds on their houses. They can't get permits. They can't get insurance. You're the permit czar out in Los Angeles. What's your focus?
What impact have you already made since those wildfires over a year ago? I was just on the ground in LA. I'm about to go back out again. Met with the city mayor and her team, the county supervisor Catherine Barter and her team. I have people on the ground.
So now the Trump administration is going beyond what are traditional conventional federal responsibilities. President Trump, one year after the wildfire, so upset that people still weren't able to rebuild, he sent me out there and said, you know what, let's start working on all sorts of non-federal roadblocks, obstacles, hurdles, and just tear through those log jams as well.
So we've seen all sorts of permits get across the finish line. We're working on that. Insurance and other aspects of this, just blazing a trail to help with this getting this done. President Trump wants nothing less. We're on it.
I just think it's so funny. The Trump doctrine is: if somebody's doing a good job, give them another one. And that's how you got it, Lee. You got another very hard job, but you seem to love it and doing a great job at it. Lee Zeldon, thanks so much.
Thanks, Brian. All right, don't move.
Next, only on One Nation, Emily Austin's here with immediate moments that she says should matter to all of us, but most importantly, to you. Yes. And also all the way. By the way, catch me on tour. Reno, Nevada, May 30th, and in Evansville, Indiana, July 11th.
Bring up the music. We're going to break. Emily's next. Media moments that matter. Right, time for your fan favorite right here on One Nation.
So, this week, I gave the VCR-TV guide all my cords and my tape stock to the great Emily Austin. Yes, she's a journalist, does everything sports and news, and now I'm gonna ask her to talk about media. I gave you all this time. I know you've been just sitting around waiting, just taping everything. What'd you come up with first, Emily?
I'll bring you some hypocrisy first.
So, first and foremost, Axelrod criticizes Obamacare premium increases. He says, Through family, I heard about a couple in Wisconsin who started a small business and were complaining we're planning to expand.
Now, their ACA premiums tripled due to congressional inaction. They've had to scrap plans to expand and grow. Yeah, I'm sure that scenario is repeating itself all over the U.S.
So, here's the irony: this is the guy that got, and no one denies this, he got Barack Obama elected twice. Yeah, and the signature. Legislation is Obamacare, and now he's complaining it's too expensive. That's exactly what everyone's been saying. It's just common sense.
Have Democrats ever actually made anything more affordable for anyone in this country?
Well, I digress. How about this? After he says that, he got a lot of blowback. First, from Senator Eric Schmidt. Yeah, Senator Eric Schmidt blasted him, saying, if only we knew whose signature legislation this was.
Next up, we had more criticism from his former colleague Scott Jennings. He said, if only we could identify who wrote this law in the first place. Yes, the Affordable Care Act that nobody can afford. It's just. That is David Axerod.
But you weren't done then. The Olympics on NBC, I hate when you're not watching on the network, but one story stuck out. Yeah, these Olympics have been hot. This topic was a Ukrainian who was disqualified from the Winter Olympics because he wanted to wear a helmet honoring athletes killed in this war during Russia.
Now, Vladislav Herskovich posted good pronunciation. He said, This is the price of our dignity.
So look. We understand that the war-torn country, we understand what's going on. They said, hey, let's try to get some type of agreement. They said, put a black armband on or something. The fact is, they would not let him do that.
Are you in support of that? I'm going to have an unpopular opinion here. I support the cause. I'd rather see no politics than, let's say, free Palestines everywhere.
So he got the guidelines. He had to respect it. I'm okay with that decision. All right, I understand.
Meanwhile, how about this? A medal award winner who kind of hurts his own personal life while we go, well, I guess excelling in his professional life. Norwegian Olympic athlete Sterla Holmegrid bizarrely admitted, okay, to cheating on his girlfriend in an interview right after winning the bronze medal.
Well I'll be honest with you. What you want to hear it first? Let's hear it. For instance, Middle East Chaliats. Hard to watch.
It would have melted. It's hard to watch. First of all, as a female, I can attest, that wouldn't work on me. And the tears, not attractive, and that's not the time to do it. And that's a major gaslighting.
Alright, so for what happened next, let's go to the girlfriend's response. It's hard to forgive, even after such a public declaration of love in front of the entire world. I have not asked to be put in this position, and it is hard to be out there. We have had contact, and he knows my feelings about this. It's over on Valentine's Day weekend.
No mercy whatsoever. Hey, Emily, great to see you again. All right. Thank you. Always a pleasure.
Fantastic. And those immediate moments that really matter.
Next, I caught up with the New York Giants' new head coach, John Harbaugh, for an interview you don't want to miss. Don't move. And don't forget, follow me on social media, Rumble, Instagram, X, and Facebook, as well as join the Culper Club for some exclusive content. More on One Nation in a moment. You might as well bring up the music.
I guess Pressure McDiamon's. Oh, yeah, you know my life is like kiddie up, kiddie up, family daddy. Almost got it.
Well, the holidays have come and gone once again. But if you've forgotten to get that special someone in your life a gift, well, Mint Mobile is extending their holiday offer of half-off unlimited wireless.

I caught up with new Giants head coach John Harbaugh, the Super Bowl winner now stepping into what I think is one of the toughest jobs in football. He's got to do a major turnaround. We talk about rebuilding a franchise, mentoring champions, and the message from President Trump that he never saw coming.
So from heartbreak to a fresh start, what Harbaugh says, faith taught him about pressure, taught him about leadership, and what it really takes to win in New York. Watch.
So So coach, the last time I saw you were in your practice in Baltimore, you're living and breathing Ravens, and now I'm seeing an NY on your chest, a nice pullover sweater for this winter, and you're in this beautiful facility. Does it feel like you're the Giants head coach yet?
Well, it does. It does feel like the New York Football Giants. I mean, I got a big sign right over there that says New York Football Giants. We've got the four trophies up here in the indoor. It feels like the Giants.
You seem extremely happy. And what did it mean to have your family and your mom and dad with you? It meant everything. I mean, to see mom and dad sitting in the front row, they were there 18 years ago, you know, with my wife, and my daughter was there in Baltimore. And here we were for this next leg of the journey, so to speak, and they're with us still, doing great.
Dad's still giving me the same advice: the team, the team, the team. You know, good rough, tough physical football. That's what we've always been about. That's what we grew up with. my wife being there, just the new journey and then walking in and players.
There was a bunch of players here. They didn't have to be here. They showed up and they were standing right there when I first walked in. It meant a lot. Bill Parcells, famously, I think he said it with New England, said, you know, if you want me to cook the meal, I got to shop for the grocery camp.
They want to let me do that. They want you to cook the meal. Do they let you shop at the grocery store?
Well, yeah, you know what? That's important. It's important. Every single operation in football does it the same way. They all work together.
So, really, all this stuff about who makes the final decision and all that, I think it's all overblown, at least for the teams that do it right. I mean, you've got to be on the same page. And we kind of came to an agreement through this whole process. And something that we did in Baltimore is that we're going to agree. to agree.
What did you see on that tape that made you think? That this is a thing that I could turn around? That's a great question, and that's exactly what happened. I saw a football team playing to win, I saw a bunch of guys playing physical. Tough football.
A bunch of guys that cared. You know, they weren't concerned about the record, they were concerned about the game, the series, the play.
So I'm like, well, I think I can work with these guys. He couldn't say enough nice things about you. This is Mike McDonald when asked about John Harbaugh. I don't think it's possible to overstate his influence on me. I love John Arbaugh.
He's a He's one of my biggest mentors. Uh was willing to take chances on me when other people weren't and and uh and invested in me and my career throughout and and and stretched, you know, like the things that I felt like I could do. He had a vision for me in my career that I probably didn't have for myself. It kind of makes me a little choked up, you know? I mean, it's.
It's a meaningful thing, you know, and uh. And it uh I remember Mike is an introspective guy, and he's a guy that thinks everything through. I couldn't be more proud of him. You know, sometimes you can, you know, when you come up through the ranks, you know, you kind of can doubt yourself and you wonder if it's ever going to work for you. And I remember kind of telling them one time: it's like, you know, it's okay to dream big.
It's okay to have high expectations. I mean, actually, it's okay to be a little embarrassed by what you want to accomplish. You know, people aren't laughing. At your dream when you tell them, then your dream's not big enough. You know, it needs to be so big that people laugh at you and think it can't be done.
And here he is now, a Super Bowl champion, because he was willing to. to believe it was possible. What is it like that moment after 18 years in a Super Bowl, playoffs and 193 wins? That feeling when it's like, John, I need to speak to you. Yeah.
Well, I knew it was coming. You know, Eric gave me a heads up. And then I talked to uh Steve and it was uh it was okay. It was okay. I knew, I understood it.
I understood what he was thinking. It's a move I might have done myself because I kind of think I know what he's trying to accomplish with it. And I told him that. I said, you know, because he felt bad about it. You know, he was really emotional about it.
I think he felt like. I don't know. And I just told him, I said, you know, we're going to be friends for life. You know, you don't need to apologize. You're doing what you think is best.
You're doing exactly what I would do. I saw a video. of you. walking through the tunnel, the back of your head, and your arm was around Your kicker that just missed a 44-yard field goal, and he said he just missed it. What did you say to him?
Why was it important for you to do that? I just said to him, it's going to be okay. And you're going to be okay. And it's going to be all right. and things are going to be fine.
And that was really all I said. And he was crying, you know, because it mattered to him, because he felt like he let everybody down. Has that grounding come because you seem to be a very spiritual guy? Like, he seems to always have it in perspective. Is that because I'm on the outside, or is that an observation that's accurate?
You know me. I mean, you know, we're friends, and you know me, and I see the same thing in you. But it is because of that, because, like, I really believed, and I think our team believed that we were on this sort of spiritual quest a little bit, whatever your beliefs might be. We would start off one in five. And we were down at the bottom, man, but found a way to fight our way back to that moment.
And you thought, this is the way it's supposed to go. We're going to win this game. We're going to be in the playoffs. We're going to have a shot. We could win the whole thing.
We could be that good. You just knew that that was what the plan was, maybe, that God had for us. And boom, it goes wide right. And you're like, It's not what I expect. And then you just gotta kind of ask yourself: why?
It's like, well, you know. We make our plans, God orders our steps, you know, and this is the way it is. This is the way it's supposed to be. This is the purpose, somehow, some way.
So you had a chance to meet four presidents? I met uh I met Mono Reagan, I met President Obama, and I met President Trump. Right.
So three. And then you meet President Trump and I watched this video and you were getting questions not about the game, like why you would go. It did surprise me. Right.
And was it surprising you you lose your job with the Ravens and the President of the United States puts on Truth Social? If I could just paraphrase, hey Giants, do not let this guy go. It did surprise me. What was that like? It was crazy.
I got all of a sudden I started getting to bing, bing, bing, my phone starts going off and there it is. It's like, man, okay, I guess that's where he is the president. You know, I guess that's what we're going to do. What did your parents say about that? About saying to go to the Giants, they were fired up about it.
I mean, we loved it. We loved meeting President Trump. We loved all of his group. It was awesome. It's pretty cool.
I mean, it just goes to show you how blessed we are. In New York, I know people have to tell you there's a whole different standard. And you know how quick, not so necessarily they turn on you, but how much they want to win and how demanding they are. They still show up in the parking lot with four wins. It's still packed.
They're still tailgating. Do you know you can handle that pressure? I got scars, man. You know, I've been in a lot of... It's like you've been in fights, right?
I mean, if you don't have any scars, you haven't been in any fights. You know, if you got scars, you've been in fights. You're going to get hit, you're going to get bloodied. I've been hit, I've been bloodied a lot, you know, so I'm ready for whatever. That stadium right out there, you see it right out there, that stadium right there, that's going to be our home.
You know, it's going to be a fun place to be. It's going to be our arena. It's going to be our battleground. I can't wait to go in there and start throwing punches. All right.
That was that, now this. All right, you want to know what's coming up this week?
Now it's time for the sneak peek of the week, and let's begin. First off, big week for Mr. Zuckerberg. He's not only moving to Miami from California, Zuckerberg's set to testify in the landmark social media addiction trial. We'll see how he does.
President Trump plans to convene his first meeting of the Board of Peace. That'll be in Washington. We'll see how many new signers he has. I know he got Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, last week. The reconstruction of Gaza will be front and center.
