Welcome to the McCarthy Report, the podcast where I, Rich Lowry, discuss with Andy McCarthy,

the latest legal and national security issues this week.

What else?

The Pence FBI search and the Chinese spy balloon.

For some reason you're not already following us on a streaming service, by the way.

You can find us everywhere from Spotify to iTunes and please give this podcast and Andy

McCarthy, the glowing, indeed gushing five star reviews they deserve on iTunes and now

without further ado.

I welcome to this very podcast through the miracle of Riverside, none other than Andy McCarthy.

Hey Rich, how are you?

Good, how are you?

I'm doing great.

We have Super Bowl weekend coming up.

Yeah, late, late on us.

Well, I've had trouble getting whipped up for this, but I have to say this morning I heard

my brother, my youngest brother, who's a big jet fan, got my ear like seven o'clock

this morning to say that my favorite jet of all time, Joe Clucko, made the whole

of fame.

So I'm feeling a lot better about football.

I'm not crazy about either one of these teams and I kind of feel like Philly's going to

win and I don't mind saying that because I can't stand Philly.

So if I'm putting the hex on them, that's good.
