reporters moments ago. right now, the speaker of the house is that does not do benefits for anybody out here. so, the sooner we all come together, just keep a calm head i know you guys get excited. i don t think if you watch me that i get excited so i want to go through all this? no. but i think, at the end of the day, it s better to go through this now so we can be successful for this term. you failed three times. how do you possibly pull this off? backing out? you guys ask me the same question a lot. i will let you know when that happens. at the beginning there, you heard kevin mccarthy that the clerk of the house, cheryl johnson, is now in charge of the house of representatives, and he isn t. that is tonight s last, the 11th hour with stephanie ruhle starts right now. tonight, the cracks in the republican party on full display on capitol hill, and still no speaker. something that hasn t happened in 100 years. all of today s drama from the house fl
when you have men this big, and they are strong in their, fast running into each other. there s no such thing as a three sport athlete anymore, kids are specializing at age five, on travel teams play in playing one sport year round. and getting seriously injured. i really young ages. that is something we need to a lot closer at. injuries and the big business of youth sports, really dangerous. congressman, thank you so much for joining us tonight. i really appreciate it. congressman colin allred of texas. when we come back, you might have thought kevin mccarthy was having the worst day, maybe the loneliest guy in washington tonight. but you would be wrong. it looks like george santos took that title. the congressional ride is probably only going to get rock here. we re going to sell you in when the 11th hour continues. th hour continues.
do you think the sport is gotten more dangerous? more violent, since you left? well the players are getting bigger, faster, and stronger every year. i saw that in my five years in the nfl. players are going to specialize earlier in life, i see kids who are in middle school, specializing in just football. i played three sports, i never really lifted weights until i got to college at baylor university, that s not the case to most of these athletes are coming out now, they may specialize in for a long time in his game. the hits are getting harder. they change some of the rules, when i played stephanie, we still had wedge returns kickoff returns, you can get together, for people in a wedge and i would have to run into that wedge they moved up the kickoff to that there s many more touch backs, because kickoff was the most violent play in the game. but it s true that there s only so much you can do, any given play, something bad can happen,
