zack cohen really appreciate it. thanks so much. the news continues right here on cnn >> its super tuesday, march 5, right now on cnn this morning, donald trump hoping for a super tuesday sweep he's asking the supreme court for more help after the justices ruled that states like colorado can't kick him off the ballot. president biden, preparing for his state of the union address it's his campaign hoping super tuesday doesn't reveal more vulnerabilities and will super tuesday been nikki haley's last stand or is she going to try a different path to the presidency >> all right. 05:00 a.m. i'm here in washington. a live look at the washington mind a little bit foggy this morning here. good morning. >> i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to be with you. >> will come to super tuesday. >> it's maybe the last day that nikki haley can really make a credible claim of any kind to the republican presidential nomination voters in 15 states with about a third of it delegates at stake head to the polls this morning. all signs point to a tough day for haley, donald trump likely to take an overwhelming share of the vote and of the delegates, the contest comes just a day after the supreme court issued that unanimous decision. the trump should not be disqualified from colorado's 2024 ballot under the 14th amendment's in direction is ban yesterday, haley held two rallies in texas and she underscored trump's role in a series of republican losses and said again that he cannot win a general election against joe biden we lost in 2018, we lost in 2020, we lost in 2022. but look, two weeks ago republicans lost the vote on mayorkas. they lost a vote on israel, the rnc chair lost her job, and donald trump's finger for prints were on all of it. how much more losing do we have to do before we realized maybe donald trump is the problem >> so haley has said that she'll stay in the race as long as she's competitive. >> joining me now >> so far, reporter shelby talcott. shelby, good morning. wonderful. i have you it seems pretty clear that we're going to learn today that nikki haley is not going to be competitive anymore. what do we expect how do we expect the state of play out and what to expect her to do? >> well, i think it's pretty obvious that as you said, this is likely to be a good day for donald trump. as most of the early primary states have been but it's really interesting because last week i sat down with her at a small roundtable here in dc, and that was the question i asked. was, what does being competitive mean? because she's talked a lot about well, as long as we're competitive, what does that mean for your campaign? and then her, she sort of give a non-answer of well, the media determines what competitive means. and so it doesn't really offer too much insight into what exactly her campaign is thinking. but what's interesting is she has the money to go on through super tuesday. the question is, will she right? because as you said, she hasn't been doing i mean, this is super tuesday, so she is coming through here. you're saying she has money to go pass it to go past it, correct? >> she raised $12 in february alone that she announced just a few days ago so that presumably could take her past super tuesday. will she though? right we don't know what competitive means for her team and we also really haven't gotten the answer to the question of, well, if you believe you are being competitive, then how do you, what is your path of winning? because ultimately she talks a lot about the general election. but you have to win the republican primary first. yeah. no, of course. we can throw up a map to the kind of illinois streets. some of these hurdles because one of the biggest problems facing her is that she the winner take all delegate system in many of these states, it's half nearly half of the delegates that are at stake are gonna be winner take all. so there have been places where she's been able to accumulate delegates despite the fact that but she hasn't won. the state outright. and that's gonna be much, much tougher ahead here. how much money i mean, actually, let's let's move away from the money because i think you're absolutely right that candidates don't run out of ambition. they run out of money. but there is also like a political preservation question here for her, right. like at what point? she's clearly a very ambitious person. she's young, she has a future, somehow, right on the national stage. what does the calculation in terms of how to preserve that? >> well, a lot of people argued that she should have gotten out before her home state of south carolina, right. because when you look at candidates who have stayed in and lost their home state, that's a really big blow politically, just in general, she has not done that. she stayed in through south carolina. so the question has become, what does she do after all of this? and she said, in south with karolina when she had that defiant speech, where he talked about how she was going to stay in through super tuesday period, no matter what she talked about, how for her this isn't political and she's not thinking about her political future. and so my question is, though, is there a place for her in this this republican party anymore when i've talked to trump steam, they've his aides have said there's not a place for her anymore in this republican party. and so i think that's notable, right? is there a place for a nikki haley sort of traditional republican in what has become donald trump's party right now, entirely. all right. shelby talcott, semaphore. shelby. thank you so much for being up early with us. i really appreciate it. kicked off a big day here. >> all right. just ahead here on cnn this morning explosions and fire shaking suburban detroit, people warned to stay inside because of falling thanks, shrapnel plus what president biden hopes to accomplish in the most consequential state of the union address of his presidency >> and a late >> night meeting between rick scott and donald trump, the new job that the florida senator may be coveting. that's up next the greatest stage the joke about time >> the champion tbs >> if you have graves disease, gritty eyes could be more than a rough patch. people with graves could also get thyroid disease or ted, which may need a different dr. find a ted is specialist at is-it ted.com i have type two diabetes, but are managing its little pill with the big story to tell i take once-daily jati each days easy what do you in worked 24/7 in your body to flush out some sugar. and for adults with type two diabetes and known heart disease, jordanians can lower the risk of cardiovascular deaths >> serious side effects may include ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration that can lead to sudden worsening of kidney function and genital yeast or urinary tract infections a rare life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur, stuff jardiance and call your dr. right away if you have symptoms at this infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction, you may have increased risk or lower limb loss call your dr. right away. if you have symptoms of infection in your legs or feet, taking jardiance but this, will find your rio or insulin may cause low blood sugar >> really we have a new home. >> what's that?

>> yeah, in the coat straight off crimea another sign of the extended range of ukraine's maritime drones. now they say a maga v5 drone was able to hit the sergei coat off sorry, i'm magura v5 drones able to hit the sergei cut off russian patrol ship, which they claim was worth about 65 million dollars. now in their words, it appears to have sunk. this is another instance in which russia's black sea fleet has been successfully targeted by ukraine. an unexpected development, frankly, in the war, because after the annexing of crimea and in ten years ago now in fact, ten years ago now russia felt it essentially they had dominance in the black sea that has since been altered. a strategic change in the war and is forced basically, many of those ships back towards the russian inner coastline. a number of longer range successes that ukraine has touted over the past days. they said they hit a bridge 500 miles in side of russia and to president zelenskyy in his address yesterday said that in february alone, they'd hit 15 jets, russian jets take him out of the skies and just seven in the past week, unclear if that's from some new capability or whether they're simply exploiting the fact that they appear to be more use of russian airpower along the front lines here. but all of these events showing different trends in the war, showing unexpected strategic success by ukraine deeper inside russia, shouldn't detract from the fact that ukraine is having a very bad time here along the more earthy, difficult front lines we're seeing in the east here, they pulled out of abdivka of town. they've been fighting over for months, two weeks ago they said they would hold the defensive line and the reporting we're hearing around those areas as the new line, they're trying to hold is heavily contested by russia. airstrikes an almost inexhaustible supply of russian military personnel and a huge tolerance to pain, frankly, by moscow as to who they're willing to lose. at the same time, a shortage in ukraine ammunition, it's a very perilous time and date. and while we talk about headlines have sunk russian ships, it's frankly near where i'm standing here on the front lines that it's feels like the war is changing in russia's favor. casey >> all right. nick paton walsh for us in eastern ukraine. nick, thank you very much. >> now this united nations team says they found quote, clear and convincing information that hostages in gaza were sexually abused and that there are reasonable grounds to believe but the sexual violence is ongoing. you want official says her team found evidence of sexual violence, including rape and gang raped during the october 7 hamas terror attack max foster joins us live now from london on this. max. good morning to you. this was really, really tough stuff. it's the most definitive findings so far by the un on allegations of sexual assault during and after october 7 and hamas has denied the allegations, but the un special envoy on conflict it says sexual violence is listed a range of challenges that her team faced trying to get evidenced, trying to get that testimony. is this report going to settle anything year? >> well, is from a un is the most in the independent body we have in these sorts of situations, unless it's going to end up in one of the international courts, there will be those who want to punch holes in it and discredited. but it's very stark. it's really difficult to read and it is a real reminder of what happened on that day in october and brings it to even more reality and what the people of israel suffered the they had 33 meetings. this this group and looking into this i with israeli representatives and more than 5,000 photographic images were examined and 50 hours of video footage. so they really had been through it and investigated, but i think there will be palestinians and other groups who point out they haven't spoken to her mass and that's obviously that's for obvious reasons. but the un report also did describe reports of sexual violence against palestinians in israeli custody. so there are lots of elements to it. but if you just look at what they found in terms of the attacks on those israelis. it is stark and obviously from the people publishing it, they're pretty convinced by it. >> yeah. i mean, i think it's just important that we shine a light on it because obviously the israelis have their own trust issues with the united nations. but i don't want to talk to congresswoman debbie dingell, for example, represents a heavily muslim american community, has ties to that in michigan and she received so much blowback from people when she talked about the sexual violence and said, hey, this actually happened, that she's honestly gets emotional talking about it. so i do think it's important that we outlined that, hey, the un has said this happened. >> max, let's also talk about >> the hostage question broadly. i mean, you so now i've been talking about the talks to try to find a solution for a temporary ceasefire and hostage hostage exchange. there are going to be family members of american hostages that are gonna be in attendance at the state of the union on thursday, what kind of message do you think that sense? >> i think what the group politicians have invited them have asked members of congress to wear yellow ribbons and dog tags. i think if we see a lot of that is going to be a very poignant reminder that there are hostages in gaza still all these months later and if you look at some of the elements of that un report, there were suggestions as well that there's still suffering some sexual violence has suggestion that they are. so it's a big reminder of what those people are suffering. i don't know if it causes any wider issues. i mean, everything around this is so sensitive. does that show more sympathy for the israeli side or not? i don't think it does. it just highlights what hostages are going through and the families of hostages are going through in this moment. hopefully adding some momentum really to anything that america can do towards a ceasefire, which is obviously what the biden administration is pushing harder and harder for, but it's struggling to convince israeli, the israelis to do yeah, plus some layered, layered politicking going on here with benny gantz, a political rival. if benjamin netanyahu visiting and meeting with vice president the united states yesterday lots going on here. max foster for us in london, max. thank you. as always, i really appreciate it >> coming up next. she might not survive super tuesday, but what's with all this speculation that nikki haley might try to find a different 30 party path to the white house plus there's no crying in football know, unless you're a kelce, i loved >> this will bring you that super tuesday coverage begins tonight at 06:00 p.m. on cnn and streaming on max. >> if you have chronic kidney disease, you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with bar sega because they're places you'd rather be for cyclic can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infection it's in low blood sugar, a rare life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur, stopped taking for sika and call your dr. right away. if you have symptoms of disinfection and allergic pre-action or ketoacidosis >> perfect de for a family outing. >> shingles. >> does he care?

>> so the protest candidate right now. i mean, there is as bakari is right, there is no real path for her and i think look, even if there was some deus ex market, right where the something happens and it's not going to be nikki haley. if they reopen that chest that they can play with a lot of other different toys, so to speak. and i think we talked about this a little bit earlier in the show where i think the age of trump, it's not where it was safe for mitt romney or john mccain where that second person who came up short is that next one? go around, i think because that really was the patent was right. it was like the person who came in second in the nomination contest for years earlier was the standard-bearer than his time? >> absolutely solves a mitt romney, he was primed after his 2008 run to go be the standard bearer and 12 when he had a leg up on that, i think in the achive trump, we saw this. what happened to ted cruz, marco rubio, the demon rum this time. so there is a difference in the age of trump, how you go past a certain point your image becomes really decimate among the republican base. >> you're >> starting to see that now alone with nikki, let's look, take a little a look at a little bit more of what haley had to say about the supreme court decision that came down yesterday with the ballots watch we don't want the chaos of certain states are secretaries of state saying that they like someone or don't like someone, i'd want to take them off the ballot. i trust the american people. so i was very happy with the supreme court ruling. look, i'm going to i'm trying to defeat donald trump. fair and square. i don't need them taking them off the ballot to do it >> so bakari, obviously we're democrats who were disappointed in this decision. but i also talked over the last few months, i've talked to a lot of democrats who are relieved about this. >> yeah, this isn't the decision that most democrats are watching. i mean, it's a very slippery slope when you have states enforcing section three. i mean, when you when you have states who can decide whether or not somebody's on the ballot in texas versus new york. >> it >> just gets to be legal, what they teach you in law school about a slippery slope mission era >> and so >> no, but i think the presidential immunity question is the largest question in the court, didn't give us any hint into way to the way they were going to decide that yesterday the ruling i thought particularly the concurrent ruling by the more liberal justices spoke a lot and was loud. the fact the unanimity of the decision spoke loudly and you're not going to see democrats clamoring too much for him to be kicked off the ballot per say, there'll be some fringes. did say okay, kick them off the ballot, but i believe that joe biden has said it and everybody else to say that if you're going to beat donald trump and the cancer that is donald trump, you have to beat him at the ballot box >> what did you take away from this decision, matt and from the supreme court has decided, i mean, this immunity question which trump talked a ton about, they did agree to actually hear it. i mean, they could have denied it and they could have just said, no, p is not immune. they could have stuck with the dc circuit court ruling. and instead, this potentially pushes a trial out like perhaps on top of the election, like certainly on top of the time in the late summer and fall when voters are deciding absolutely. >> i didn't look very tactical level. the biggest winter where the low dollar democratic fundraisers we able to fundraise off this, right? jenna griswold out in colorado. i knew who the heck the colorado secretary of state was before this. >> people do now. they do now, right and i think what the tough part about this is in this happens with both parties. have you have say it might be cases might be voted on certain things. you try and tailor your best one to get the most attention. the ones you can win, et cetera. but then when you have certain people start glomming on for sure and attention right? secretary of state in colorado files a ballot, to a file. the case did do this. you have alvin bragg, which i think most republicans feel at this the kind of the weakest of the cases brought against donald trump with the hush money up in new york state. it allows trump, i think he's what he's trying to do is kind of glom them all together. and so he can portray a win in this as leading to a win and immunity or with january 6 trial, which obviously isn't the case. >> but in the >> pr where people aren't paying attention to the day-to-day is like we all are. it can make it hard to follow an understanding in the attention economy. it's all the same. absolutely. >> it's really tough. that's a really good point. okay. bakari, madam, gonna stay with us for a second. but i do want to turn to another headline out of mar-a-lago, the race to replace mitch mcconnell as the senate republican leaders is heating up with more senators considering the position. florida senator rick scott visited trump at mar-a-lago, and he posted this photo of the two to the platform formerly known as twitter. scott is weighing a run for republican leadership after losing a bid to challenge mcconnell after the 2022 midterms he is holding a news conference today, although we think it's unlikely that he's going to announce his intentions. matt gorman, link, let me put this to you since you worked for tim scott's campaign, you're aware of a lot of these kind of dynamics in the senate. this is a seismic shift, obviously the vault scott senator >> yes. sorry no, it's funny you know, you are >> exact copy, >> but what do you make of this? because look, rick scott it's clear that there is this emerging you've got two men named john, sort of establishment in the senate, john thune john cornyn, and then scott's down here according donald trump, he's been basically antagonizing mitch mcconnell, which very few people were willing to do for many, many years. but suddenly here he was willing to kind of stick thorns in mcconnell's side and now he is bringing the former president who, you know, half the party is decided okay, in the senate anyway, as decided, okay, we're going to kind of roll over and duty wants there's still a significant faction in the senate that doesn't like donald trump. what is rick scott doing here? >> i think actually maybe playing to actually quote mitch mcconnell playing the long game a little bit. look to john's cornyn and thune already in the race, they've been playing this for awhile. that third john, john barrasso, who is expected to possibly get in the race, but there's also talk lately he might actually just try and play for second place, play for the whip. whoever emerges out of that top flight can't get that second role. i think what rick scott likely is doing is making a bet that the senate with mitch mcconnell gone will turn into a little bit more like house leadership, where you can be that kind of antagonizing force close to trump, whether he's president or not, they will still be a power base there and he can kind of chirp from the sidelines, play that person who is in trump's ear, who can be the trump advocate in the senate? and again, we saw this happen in the house quite a bit. maybe he's not the next leader, but the one after that. >> yeah, bakari, what do you see here? i mean, you've served in the legislation, have been a nobody likes rick scott. i mean, he is the second most least the light united states that are behind ted cruz and said crews only i'm not sure what rick scott thinks he's doing, but there are a lot of a mcconnell loyalist who will take a great deal of just joy out of pummeling rick scott throughout this process, this is a race between three johns, one, john may not decide to do it as you, as you eloquently put. and so i think it's thune and cornyn and they both actually bring some of the gravitas that mitch mcconnell brought to the united states senate with them, rick scott as a wild-card, nobody really cares for rick scott that much. and so i'm not sure what exactly is that. why don't people like him? >> i think it has elected to with his personality. i think it has a lot to do with the fact that he kind of marches to his own drum. he, he seems off his own sheet he's like as they say, he does things like this. i mean, donald trump won't have a major role in electing who will be the next leader or the republicans in the senate. that is where his influence is actually the least i think that there are enough people who will box them out of this institution. this is probably the only institution in the united states where his fingerprints will not be all on it? >> yeah. do you agree with it? >> i think to a point, i think there will be a block of people that will look for input or at least not want to get crosswalk. >> red block is named jd vance. >> i think there's also probably hawley cruz, i think there will be somebody who will give deference to that. that's all this let's also face, i don't think trump can help himself. he that but i do i mean, the numbers might thinks about for, you know, it could be 25, would like that could win this right? 25, 26, i think it could be a block at the very least, there'll be loud. >> so that's that's true. >> i mean, i think at the end of the day, i do think there are enough senators that recognize that at picking someone that they choose themselves without outside influence, there's a lot to be said for that too, especially in this environment in which we live. all right, bakari. matt, thank you guys are gonna be back with us later on. next hour. >> up next here, what could be next for nikki haley if donald trump likely dominates this super tuesday plus wait until you hear the excuse from an nba superstar who arrived too late to start in last night this game >> this is the big game >> cain who that do >> another >> month. >> their offers some jews, they will come. >> i was out what i tell the investors tell them you don't have to do this one country to time. video says the approval process is similar throughout latin america. >> so parallel max, if we have firsthand experience in each country and bd, you can find these people >> video has these people people who knows oh, no, bdo is two being a young man will be cowboy well against and against as alice down i've got back to my roots. we've come from a long ladder, calvin, my grandfather my great grandfather, my aren't being rode horses. horses when i see all of us at him on his ranch i see how far our legacy can go. >> so we're building a better postal service all parts working in sync to move your business board with the streamlines shipping network, and new high-speed processing and delivery centers for more value, more of a liability and more on-time deliveries. the united states postal service is built for how you business and how you business is with simple, affordable, and reliable shipping. usps ground advantage if you have graves disease and itchy eyes, the truth may be even more uncomfortable. people with graves could also get thyroid disease or ted, which may need a different dr. find a ted is specialist at is-it ted.com?

>> what about you? three classic tenders for butterfly, shrimp, fo her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we got him under a new plan. but then they unexpectedly unraveled their "price lock" guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the "un-carrier". you sing about "price lock" on those commercials. "the price lock, the price lock..." so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. i can watch humans out along. >> we are and we do united states of scandal with jake tapper next sunday night on cnn >> closed captioning brought to you by mesobook mesothelial mom. it's all we do with local offices throughout the country on his help, you get the compensation. you deserve 800 to eight to 44, 44 you have said that you're previously that you're definitely staying in the race through super tuesday. that's tomorrow >> what >> would keep you in the race? >> i mean, as long as we're competitive, look 70% of americans say they don't want donald trump or joe biden. that's not a small number. they want to know that at some point we're going to have somebody that can put an eight years day and night and focus on the solutions, not the negativity, not the baggage, but just real solutions for the american people. >> all right. with nikki haley facing an uphill battle for the republican nomination for president speculation swirling that she might be in a third party candidacy. the rumors picked up after she said she might go back on her pledge to endorse the republican nominee in this case likely trump the rnc pledge. i mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where would you support the nominee and you had to in order to get on that debate stage, you said yes. the rnc has now not the same rnc. now it's so you're no longer bound by that pledge now i think i'll make what decision i want to make, but that's not something i'm thinking about >> very interesting. haley is putting an end to the idea that she might join the no labels ticket telling reporters she wouldn't want to run on the groups proposed unity ticket with a democrat joining me is julia manchester, staff writer for the hill. you just saw her byline on that piece, julia, good morning. it's great to have you here. good morning, kasie >> so there is more sort of third parties speculation and discussion, then there has been in many, many presidential cycles with so many people basically unhappy. they, they're telling our pollsters they are unhappy happy with the choices that they have for nikki haley, though, there is all of this speculation around it, i see her as someone who's clearly very ambitious. >> and >> the big question to me is, how does she channel that ambition? because if she leaves the republican party, it is very difficult to see any path to the presidency outside of that two party system that we have. what do you see as her path forward? >> you know, it's hard to say. i think of this in two ways. first of all, i think for nikki haley, it's difficult to see a place for her in today's republican party, which is essentially the party of trump. it is the america first party. so even if trump were to be elected did again, four years from now, we see it as the america first party. it seems like nikki haley has essentially been pushed out of that mold now, at the other end of this, i think there's also the question of what is her end game? is she thinking of 2028 is she thinking of something this year after the primaries? would she do some sort of a third party it's hard to see how she would do a third party when at this point, logistically, remember, rfk junior is still trying to get on the ballot and a number of these states, so it's going to be difficult. and also look if she were to go that direction and not honor the rnc pledge. it's hard to see how she would be forgiven in the republican party and do any future runs. so it's really hard to see what the endgame is here. >> yeah, well, i mean, that's even a different question, right. because whether she if she were to run on a third-party ticket, that would be a particularly strident kind of wave going about it. there is also this question of whether or not she endorses donald trump. i mean, she's sort of the campaign that she's run now it turning around and endorsing trump out of that. i think you open yourself up to charges of hypocrisy. but on the other hand, if you don't endorse him, how do you stay in the party and how do you think about that? >> yeah, absolutely. you know, someone i was talking to them about this very topic and they said nikki haley is essentially throwing everything in the kitchen sink at the wall at this point. so it's hard to see, you know, what her endgame is in terms of endorsing trump. look, she was very, you know, in 2016 during the primary thing she endorsed marco rubio. she was speaking out against trump, especially when marco rubio at the time was being extremely critical, had some pretty outlandish rhetoric against then candidate trump. but marco rubio essentially came around and nikki haley eventually came around and served in the trump administration. but this time though, she has really needle trump and i think she has done something that trump really doesn't like. she's been disloyal to him. so i'm wondering how that works for her. yeah >> it seems like there's that whatever relationship was there, at least from trump's perspective, right. is done it's going to be more up to her to decide. we should also note ted cruz, who trump attacked his wife. yes. now, one of trump's biggest >> supporters, julia, you mentioned rfk junior >> he >> has gotten on some critical battleground state ballot that's the dnc just filed a complaint with the fec. they accuse this pro rfk junior super pac of campaign finance violations. i believe this is a super pac that aired an ad during the super bowl, just using the name kennedy. i mean, to me, that's the big danger for you know, i think most of the polling shows that a lot of these voters would, would come from biden. some may come from trump in the case of rfk, but that it could really hurt biden and some of these key states just because the man's name is kennedy, what should they be doing about that? yeah. look absolutely in states like arizona and georgia, that's going to really put a dent into biden's potential lead there for his support base there, but i will say going to rfk junior events, talking to his supporters. he does pull a really big tent of supporters, biden supporters, but also trump's the border. so there's a real wildcard. we hear a lot about the dnc pushing back against them. i think you're also hearing the rnc very much changing their tone because he has such a wild-card going forward. so in terms of how biden approaches rfk junior, you know, it's hard to tell whether he's even going to pay much attention to him. i think he wants to make this a biden versus trump race, which makes sense, but rfk junior is still that unknown variable here. >> yeah, it might be mistake not to write clearly the dnc elise is focused on a little bit are actually manchester staff writer for the hill. thank you. so thank you. it's great to have you. >> all right. it's the end of an era in philadelphia after 13 seasons, jason kelce, the heartbeat of so many of my birds teams has retired. andy scholes has this morning's bleacher report. andy, good morning. yeah. good morning. jason kelce, maybe the most popular offensive lineman to ever play the game. certainly in philadelphia know, he's universally loved for not only is play on the field, you have just how good of a duty is and kelce, he was just in tears from the start of his retirement press conference yesterday his brother, travis, parents, wife, kylie, there were all sitting in the front row. they were also fighting back tears the whole time kelce played for 13 seasons, making seven pro bowls and winning the in 2018 super bowl over the patriots. and he said, you know, we wouldn't be where he is today without his brother, travis >> there is no chance i'd be here with us the bond travis and i share did made me stronger, tougher, smarter and taught me the values of cooperation loyalty, patience, and understanding. it's only too poetic. i found my career being fulfilled in, the city of brotherly love >> i knew >> that relationship all too well. thank you. philadelphia from the bottom of my heart thank you for letting me represent this city and allowing me into your homes every sunday you see kelce on tv with one of the network's next season, the broncos. meanwhile, cutting ties with a russell >> wilson and they're taking the biggest dead cap hit ever in order to do it remember can be paying ross $85 million to go away. he will never play a snap under the five-year $245 million that he had signed broncos trading for us argo, be going to go down as one of the worst trades in nfl history to the nba or lebron was fresh off score and is 40,000 point this past saturday he helped the lakers fall off the upset against the thunder last night, law brought in 19 points, ten rebounds, eight assists, and d'angelo russell, he just caught fire in the fourth quarter. he had a three on three straight possessions events with five for the game score, 26 points, lakers would win for the tenth time and games, beat the thunder now and 1162104 and violates, you know, we've all lost track trip time and been laid at some point while t wolves story at a edwards, he lost track of time last night. it was late for the opening tip up against the blazers. >> he made it so the scores table right before the start of the game, but he had to wait and sullivan, after minnesota head coach chris fitch was even a little confused of what happened sometimes you know, maybe it was a weird game forum with the ms start. i don't know exactly what that was about. i >> can't display you get he just had babies his wife, girlfriend friday, right asleep yeah, minnesota went away in the case. he won 19 to 140 over the blazers. yeah. not that the biggest of deals that maybe he was stretching too long in the back, but it's kind of odd for an nba player to tip. it is awkward, although now that i've heard that he has a new baby at home, i'm much more willing to forgive that because let me box all off. >> yeah. >> everything goes to hell. frankly, they're wonderful. look, man. do they make it hard for you to show up on time for anything? andy scholes. thank you very much. >> all right. up next here on this super tuesday, donald trump is hoping to knock nikki haley out of the race, plus the president biden needs to do in his state of the union address this week >> the greatest stage they >> talk about for a lifetime reached out to champion tbs >> if you it may be fatal titration, urinary tract or genital yeast infections and low blood sugar a rare life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur, stopped taking for a secret call your dr. right away. if you have symptoms of disinfection and allergic reaction or ketoacidosis >> a heart attack. do they have life insurance?
