the lawmaking is done, hurtling toward a shutdown. >> the house fails to pass a new plan to keep the government open with no clear path forward for what's next. >> and back to new york. >> suspected killer luigi mangione now officially in the hands of the nypd and fani willis hired her lover, nathan wade, so they could fraudulently make money together prosecutor dismissed. why the atlanta district attorney who charged donald trump with crimes will no longer be on the case. all right. 5 a.m. here on the east coast, a live look at capitol hill. they were really hoping to already be home for the holidays by this time today. they are not. this chaos up there. good morning everyone. i'm kasie hunt, it's wonderful to have you

with us. anger and frustration boiling over on the hill as a new attempt to keep the government open went down in flames congressman marc molinaro, perhaps with the most visible symbol of the frustration he apparently broke that gavel, attempting to bring the house to order amid fierce debate, a debate made necessary after donald trump, elon musk and their allies killed the original bipartisan deal this week. >> you are the ones that are creating the shutdown. >> we will not be going back to the table. this deal stands as it is. >> all i've heard for the last couple of weeks about this giant mandate landslide trifecta. put on your big boy pants, pass your own bill. this side of the aisle is profoundly unserious about actually reducing deficits in the middle

of the storm. >> house speaker mike johnson now trying to not only unify his party behind a new plan, but now trying to save his speakership in next year's congress. >> this is washington. this is how, the lawmaking is done. it's a long process. sometimes it takes a while to reach consensus. >> it will take even longer to find consensus. now, democrats and dozens of republicans shot down his plan b. now some republicans are calling on trump to come to washington to try to help sort out the mess that he played a role in creating. >> i think one of the ways that this could get fixed fairly quickly would be if president trump would come up to washington tomorrow or spend the weekend here and and talk to people face to face. um, let's face it. i mean, he's, you know, he's got a lot of sway and persuasion. he acts more like the sitting president than the sitting president. and if he'd come up, i think he could help move things along.

>> so right now, you can see on that bottom side of your screen, we are just hours away from a government shutdown, and we don't know what the next steps could be. >> this bill is although we'll see. >> we'll see. >> joining us now to break all of it down reese gorman. he's a political reporter at notice reese good morning. good morning i like the holiday sweater this morning. you're sort of festive. spirit is not shared by those on capitol hill who are desperately trying to get home from the holidays while keeping the government open. what's next? >> and this is johnson has to come up with a plan c, plan, a, failed, plan b failed. now plan c, i mean, there's it would be much easier if there weren't 38 republicans. you can kind of whip ten republicans and try to break some of that off you. you're going to have it's almost impossible to get down to 38 republicans to get them to vote for some cr. and this was i mean, they this was as much as a pared down conservative that could pass and even get signed into law, because you still have a democrat senate and democrat

white house. and jd vance said while he was leaving yesterday that trying to pin on democrats basically saying, like they've asked for a shutdown, they might get one. it sounds like they're okay with the government shutting down. and i don't think johnson necessarily wants that. but it does sound like trump and jd vance are like, well, it sounds like the government is going to shut down. >> part of this, of course, is the debt ceiling, right. which is was wrapped into this. and a lot of these conservatives are saying i've literally never voted for it. this was something trump kind of threw in there publicly anyway, at the last minute. apparently he had been talking about it behind the scenes. but if they're going to insist on that, i mean, trump wants to take away the the leverage that democrats will have later. you know, as his term gets underway by doing this now. but he can't do it without democrats. >> no. and i mean, this is the same thing that mccarthy got in trouble for was raising the debt ceiling. he did it. and he had to put in these like drastic spending cuts just to get enough republicans to vote for it. and that was even a challenge. and, i mean, i've reported prior that johnson has i mean, members have been asking johnson just to clear

the decks, just to kind of pass an omnibus, just get it out of the way because they don't want to deal with trump. and all along josh was saying, this can't pass, this can't pass. and then it comes to find out this actually what trump wanted all along. and so johnson's also really in a kind of a touchy situation with his speakership and where it's at. i mean, trump is kind of trump. i reported yesterday that trump is kind of souring on johnson is expressing that he might not back him in january if there's a speaker fight because of how he's handled this whole situation. there's now at least two members that are saying publicly that they don't plan on voting for mike johnson, and so that's enough right there just to kind of at least further elongate the speaker fight. >> yeah. so speaking of your your reporting, this is part of what you and a colleague wrote for notice, quote, johnson doesn't appear to be in a negotiating mood with a speaker vote just a couple of weeks away, giving in to democratic demands and simply putting the original bill on the floor could come at the expense of johnson's job. congressman mark pocan, a democrat, described the situation as a cluster f telling. notice anything short of republicans negotiating with democrats

would amount to the gop playing their own game of fantasy congress? and here's how politico wrote it this morning. this is their lead on their story. they write, quote, the collapse of speaker mike johnson's spending plan illustrates a painful lesson that other politicians have already learned. absolute loyalty to donald trump is a one way street. as the u.s. teeters on the edge of a government shutdown, bitterly divided republicans are struggling to find a way forward, and johnson's hold on his job is in trump's mercurial hands. trump seems less than pleased with johnson right now. >> oh, 100%. i mean, especially because johnson, it all started with this. first, bill johnson didn't want to clear the decks because it could come at the cost of speakership. he didn't think that's what trump wants. and as i reported previously, trump originally blessed this three month cr plan. he was like, you can do that. we'll get it done in march. he was not aware of all the things that were stacked in it that republicans were against. and because johnson but also, i mean, trump has been he's not doesn't really like to

negotiate that much or he wants to get his way most of the time. and he johnson has to give democrats stuff they wanted or to pass because they have legitimately one half of one branch of government. and so johnson is going to have to negotiate with democrats. and he trump has to realize that it's either a government shutdown, he negotiates with democrats. right now, i don't really see a way that johnson is going to save his speakership at this point because of how upset everybody is. >> governing is hard. lesson one, apparently, of the new trump presidency, even though he's not president yet. reese gorman, thank you very much. thank you for having me i appreciate it. all right. coming up on cnn this morning, a courtroom scramble, the behind the scenes tug of war between prosecutors when luigi mangione the suspected killer was charged federally. plus drone panic, new flight restrictions as the mysterious sightings continue. and ready to talk. both vladimir putin and vladimir zelenskyy say they're ready for discussions with president elect trump i think that president trump is a

trump when we meet. >> first of all, i don't know when we will meet because he hasn't said anything about it. i haven't spoken to him at all in over four years. of course i am ready for this at any time and i will be ready for a meeting if he wants it. >> while putin says there has been no communication between the two men, trump has been staying mum. the president elect, who has vowed to swiftly end the conflict in his second term, has often boasted about his close relationship with putin but has refused to comment on reports that he's had multiple calls with the russian president since leaving the white house. >> can you say yes or no? whether you have talked to vladimir putin since you stopped being president? >> well, i don't comment on that, but i will tell you that if i did, it's a smart thing. if i'm friendly with people, if i have a relationship with people, that's a good thing, not a bad thing in terms of a country. >> all right. our max foster joins us live now from london. max. good morning. wonderful to

see you. uh, interesting comments there from vladimir putin. and, of course, this looming question of how this may be resolved when president elect trump takes office. what do you make of it all? >> well it's interesting. i think there's an interest in president putin wanting to talk about negotiations or talks, at least because it sort of locks off, you know, where we are right now and how you come out of it. and ukrainians certainly want to push the russians back. they're having very little success from that. he says there's no conditions to any talks. he's happy to go ahead with them straight away. donald trump appears to be emerging as the the negotiator there. but he even said he would talk to zelenskyy. but there are conditions in the background here to any potential deal because putin has also made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to give up any of the territory he's gained. he doesn't want ukraine to join nato. these are things that obviously ukraine will want. he's also suggested yesterday that he wouldn't be able to sign a deal with president

zelenskyy in his current role, because they would it would have to be a you know, he's currently ruling through an emergency, you know, wartime. procedure. um, putin suggested that he would only deal with whoever parliament had appointed, so they'd want to see fresh elections, it seems, before they would actually sign a deal with zelenskyy. so there are conditions in the background. but, you know, certainly a willingness to speak with donald trump about it all. >> mm. well, so speaking of trump, while these two are talking about him, trump is talking about the european union. this is what he had to say overnight. quote i told the european union they must make up their tremendous deficit with the united states by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas. otherwise it is tariffs all the way. what do you make of this threat, and how is it being received in the halls of the various governments of the eu? >> well, there's a lot of dependance still on russian oil and gas in europe. that's just a reality. and that's always been a sensitive factor. and i think, frankly, you know, a lot

of european countries would rather get that from the united states, but the cost of it would be enormous. you know, bringing it across the oceans. so, you know, there's a practical difficulties there of actually making it happen. but certainly there's a huge fear, particularly in the european union, of a trade war with the united states. and it is really sort of looming over everything. and it's interesting, lots of reports coming out from the uk that peter mandelson will be appointed by the united kingdom as the ambassador to the u.s. he's a huge figure in trade negotiations. he was the eu's trade commissioner as well. it goes to show how even the uk is very concerned about this as well. we'll wait to see whether or not that appointment is announced today. but that gives, you know, donald trump, someone potentially could work with certainly to do some sort of trade deal with the uk as the uk would like, but also would understand how the eu works. but i mean, i think this is really going to define the relationship with between the whole of europe, really, and the u.s. into next year. will trade tariffs bring the

european economy down because it does have that potential, or will there again be another negotiation? >> all right. max foster for us max. love seeing you every morning. i'm not sure i'll see you until after the holidays. so merry christmas. happy holidays. >> happy christmas to you too. >> all right. still ahead here on cnn this morning. starbucks on strike. why? thousands of baristas are set to walk off the job this morning in three major cities. plus, a georgia court disqualifies fulton county da fani willis from prosecuting trump. she says she's not going down without a fight. can't fool myself. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life has extremely joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> you only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> luther. never too much new year's day on today, my friend. >> you did it. >> you did it. pursue a better you with syndrome. it's a

have you with us. the alleged ceo killer luigi mangione waking up this morning in the same federal prison where sean diddy combs is being held. he was flown from pennsylvania to new york on thursday to make his first appearance in a manhattan court. authorities turning the perp walk into a spectacle on the on the wall street helipad, with mangione surrounded by nypd officers and fbi personnel. a new federal criminal complaint charging him with murder punishable by the death penalty. that complaint, providing new details about a notebook belonging to the suspect with handwritten pages expressing hostility toward the health insurance industry and wealthy executives. earlier in the week, a manhattan grand jury indictment charged mangione with murder as an act of terrorism. his attorney keeping her defense strategy under wraps for now. >> we're going to respectfully

decline to make any comment at this time. >> but mr. mangione appreciates everyone's support. thank you so much all right. we are going to bring in our joey jackson in just a couple of moments to talk more about that. just remarkable images coming out of new york yesterday. but we're going to turn right now to this story. elon musk's role in tanking the original bipartisan deal to keep the federal government operating has some asking who is really in charge? democrats seizing the opportunity to troll trump, calling the billionaire ceo the real leader. >> we're not the ones that blew up the deal. >> he was elon musk, president musk i'm sorry, not president musk. >> that's president trump, isn't it? >> well, i think he's president. >> and trump is now vice president. >> i think that's clear. >> they got scared because president musk told them president musk said, don't do it. don't do it. shut the

government down. >> what are republicans doing? some are floating a new idea, making musk speaker of the house. senator rand paul posted this on x. quote the speaker of the house need not be a member of congress. nothing would disrupt or disrupt the swamp more than electing elon musk. michael chanel, congressional reporter for the hill, joins us now. michael. good morning. hey. good morning. you have been up there covering the chaos yes. and i honestly just like to know the bottom line of your reporting right now. elon musk does seem to have blown this up with, of course, trump coming in. you know, at the end of the day, earlier this week. what what now that is the very question that we're asking lawmakers and that lawmakers are asking their leadership at this juncture. there really is no clear path forward. >> yesterday, house republicans, a group of house republicans and democrats, torpedoed speaker johnson's plan b, which was endorsed by

trump. it was seen as the next effort to try to avert this shutdown, but that was not palatable for democrats and for a handful of republicans. so now speaker johnson is back at the drawing board, and there really is no cohesive idea of what comes next. i've heard from a number of spoken to a number of house republicans. some think maybe a clean cr is coming. some think maybe the senate will move on. something to try to jam the house. but at this moment there is no clear path forward. and of course, the shutdown deadline is now less than 24 hours away. >> and of course, this all raises incredible questions about the house speaker mike johnson's future. let's watch. senator lee, who was on fox. yesterday floating. he's again talking about musk, but it really underscores the issue. johnson is facing. watch i don't think the speaker is going to remain in power. >> that's my prediction. i'm not in the house if i'm correct in that, and i think i am. we need bold new leadership, outside leadership, and i think

it needs to be a dovish speaker. it needs to be either vivek ramaswamy or it needs to be elon musk saying it needs to be vivek ramaswamy or it needs to be elon musk. >> okay, so whenever we have conversations about the speakership, this happened when kevin mccarthy was trying to get the speakership. it happened after he lost it. and when republicans were trying to figure out who was next, technically, the speaker of the house does not have to be a member of congress. realistically, the speaker of the house is not going to be somebody that is not currently serving in congress. but the fact that mike lee and, for example, marjorie taylor greene also are floating other people for speaker, including elon musk, is a reflection of their discontent with speaker johnson. and that's the significant part here, because republicans the house is going to gather in the chamber on january 3rd to select the next speaker of the house. and while mike johnson was unanimously nominated by his conference last month for the gavel, that his grip on that looks extremely tenuous right now,

there's at least one republican tom massie, who's already saying he will not support johnson on january 3rd. i've spoken to a number of others who say they are uncertain, and they are very upset with how speaker johnson is currently handling the spending deal. talking about marjorie taylor greene for a second, she was somebody who led the motion to vacate against johnson earlier this year, then ultimately said she would support him. the fact that she is now floating somebody else shows how deep this discontent is with the republican conference, and it is a worrying sign for mike johnson as he heads into the speaker vote next week. next month, i will note the whole conversation in the lead up to this spending fight was republicans were saying, we are watching so closely to see how mike johnson handles this. this will determine if we can support him in january. right now, it's not going well for him, right. >> one punchbowl is reporting this morning that during a meeting with key lawmakers in his office thursday, johnson said, quote, if anyone else can get to 218, god bless them. according to three lawmakers present again, this is

punchbowl news. >> that's house republican politics these days. yeah. >> and it's worth noting that when this speaker vote takes place on january the 3rd, when he needs 218. that's right. the majority is likely to be just 219. that's right. which means he can only lose one as razor thin as things can get. all right, michael chanel, thanks very much. appreciate it. all right. ahead here on cnn this morning, d.a. fani willis disqualified. now trump says it's time to put this case to rest. what it's going to take to keep it moving forward. plus, the l.a. chargers bolstering their playoff hopes with a big win over the broncos. we'll have cnn's sports coming up soon. >> this holiday season. find the perfect gift at cnn underscored from the latest fashion to expert approved tech to the best beauty finds. discover it all at underscore. com. >> i'm obsessed with olay's

back now to that stunning scene in new york. >> the nypd and the fbi taking suspected killer luigi mangione on an extended perp walk after his extradition thursday. it comes as he faces a slew of new federal charges. if found guilty, he could face the death penalty. cnn legal analyst joey jackson is here with more. joey. good morning. can you explain to us how it works here? and did it surprise you that he was federally charged on top of the state charges? >> yeah. casey, good morning to you. >> the answer to that question is no. so the state certainly has a role, as we know, in prosecuting street level offenses. >> and they do it pretty effectively. >> however, the federal government also, as we look at him there with law enforcement officials and the mayor, by the way, has a significant role as well as it relates to federal crimes. and so the federal government took it upon themselves to engage in a prosecution here, charging him

with four separate things, two relating to stalking in by way of interstate commerce. right. whenever you travel through state lines to do something, it elevates it to federal, a federal offense, one relating to murder by firearm because he used a firearm across state lines to do so, from georgia to new york and the other relating to the possession of the weapon itself. and so, as we saw yesterday, with respect to the workings of it, they brought him right after his appearance in pennsylvania to the courthouse in new york, having flown him to long island, and then, of course, helicoptered him to new york to face the federal charges and go before the judge. and now he'll be federally prosecuted. in addition to the state charges as well. casey. >> so, joey, can you talk a little bit about what this looked like with all of those officers and you noted the mayor like, is this normal? why did they do it like this yeah.

>> so this is far from normal, you know, though, nothing about this case is really normal, including people on the internet calling someone saint luigi, making trinkets and shirts with angels on them, speaking about issues of, wow, you know, what he did is is a great thing. he's a hero. so that's not that's really not normal in and of itself. but i think it's really struck a chord as it relates to what people are thinking about. corporate america, the health care industry in particular. and there's vast public interest. and so as a result of that, they that is law enforcement undertook this, undertook this unusual action to really just get him back here immediately via plane, via helicopter, with all these law enforcement officials, the mayor, the police commissioner. wow, that was quite a spectacle. >> it really was. and of course, we saw some protesters there supporting him, including, you know, dressing as luigi from, you know, mario and luigi, the nintendo games

and holding signs that say free luigi. really remarkable scenes yesterday. joey jackson, always grateful to have you, sir. if i don't see you before the holidays, merry christmas. happy holidays. >> thank you so much, casey. and you. thank you. >> all right, let's turn now to this. donald trump's georgia election interference case, now in serious jeopardy corrupt fani willis hired her lover, nathan wade, so they could fraudulently make money together. >> she paid her boyfriend, a lawyer who had no experience as a lawyer and no experience doing what almost $1 million. and then they decided to go on beautiful norwegian cruise line's trips all over the place. >> that was last march. today, the president elect is cheering the disqualification of prosecutor fani willis, a state court of appeals disqualified the fulton county da on thursday, finding a, quote, significant appearance of impropriety, end quote, that could potentially taint the case in the public eye. the

racketeering conspiracy case can still move forward with a new special prosecutor. willis prosecution was upended earlier this year when her affair with her handpicked special prosecutor, nathan wade, became public. she immediately denied benefitting financially from bringing him onto the case. >> i don't need anything from a man. >> a man is not a plan. a man is a companion. and so there was tension always in our relationship, which is why i always give him his money back. i don't need anybody to foot my bills. the only man who's ever foot my bills completely is my daddy. >> willis will fight to stay on the case. her team asking the state supreme court to review the appeals court decision. trump insists the matter is now closed. he told fox news digital, quote, it should not be allowed to go any further. she's been disqualified and her boyfriend has been disqualified and they stole funds and went on trips. joining us now from atlanta, cnn legal analyst, former u.s.

attorney michael moore. michael, always wonderful to see you. great to have you on the program. so can you help us understand? i mean, who is right here? is trump correct that this case is all is all but dead well good morning. >> i'm glad to be with you. >> he's he's partly right and i've not said that very often, but but in essence, this case is so deep on life support that it will be hard to bring it back as it relates to trump. remember that the ruling only dealt with disqualification of the da's office. it did not dismiss the indictment. it did not do away totally with the case. so there's still a chance that a prosecutor, through the process set up by the state and the prosecuting attorneys council, will make a selection, and they'll essentially see if there's any interest by a da somewhere in the state to take this case forward. i think that's going to be a long shot. i mean, that's who would want that job, right? i mean, that would be like saying i, you know, i've had this beautiful horse. i've now taken it out to pasture. why don't you just go clean up the barn? and that's sort of what the prosecutor

would be left with, is just cleaning up the mess after the fact. and so, you know, while the case is not technically dead, i think the reality is that trump is partly right, and that is that the court has made a pretty, you know, strong statement that, in fact, there was so much of an appearance of impropriety that there was no public confidence in the da's office should be disqualified. and and, of course, she was the one driving the case forward. >> yeah. can you help us understand a little bit about why this happened? now, this has obviously been going on. this case has been going on for years. and what it was about this particular court, if there are any politics involved at all, you know, i think that there may be viewers out there who found it surprising that this is where we landed, you know, here, after all of this time. >> well, the case got a late start. i mean, i think the d.a. took so long to investigate the case. you may remember we had a special purpose grand jury. there was years of investigation that from the initial phone call. that is sort of the crux of the matter with the secretary of state

that trump had, or asking him to find those 11,000 votes. so some years later than the case is brought, it goes through the criminal process. there's motions and appeals and all this stuff going on. there's people challenging whether or not they should be brought into state court or federal court. so the case took a slow roll to get to to to this point. well, there was a hearing, obviously, and the trial judge said, look, i don't think the da has to be removed, but i think mr. wade needs to step out that way. it will look a little better. and the court of appeals, the trump team, appealed that. and then the court of appeals said, look, you can't sort of halfway fix this problem. you can't put the genie back in the bottle just by getting rid of one of the genies. you know, you've got to you've got a situation where the whole case is being viewed through the lens of this perceived, and at least a possible conflict of interest. and we just think that it's too big of a mess to move forward. one thing most judges will agree on is that there should be public confidence in the judicial system and in the outcomes of cases. and so this appeals court said, look, we're going to pause this thing. um, they set the case for oral argument,

actually. and then that was set right after the election. then they removed the case from the oral argument calendar. that is, the court of appeals took the case off the calendar. my guess is at that point, the three judges that have been selected to be on the panel to make the decision had already sort of reached a majority consensus. and we see that in the order we've got good judges here in the state. i will tell you that most of them, the vast majority of the appeals court judges, are republican appointees. uh, that means they were appointed by our republican governor and then have to sit for an election later. um, and so was there politics involved? i'd like to say no, but i also think that judges oftentimes think, well, if i happen to be the one that writes the opinion that finds favor with the president, who knows, i might get to be a federal judge or a federal appellate judge somewhere who of course, those positions are appointed by a president. so, um, these are, you know, i don't want to sort of taint the order and give it the appearance that there was something wrong at all with the order. you know, this is something i've been saying for a while. this this situation

should have been fixed by the da herself. um, don't really care about her personal life at all. that could be personal. but when it comes into a case and when you have a situation where the appearance is so strong that there may have been something that shouldn't have been, shouldn't have been happening, she could have herself removed herself from the case, but she she chose not to do that. and so we're here at this place now. >> all right. michael moore a winding journey. and yes, we have landed here. thank you very much for your time and expertise this morning. i appreciate it. >> great seeing you. happy holidays to you. >> happy holidays to you as well. all right. time now for sports. lakers superstar lebron james sets another career record once considered untouchable carolyn manno has this morning's cnn sports update. carolyn good morning. good morning. lebron has shattered numerous records in his 22 seasons in the nba. >> he's the league's all time leading scorer. he the first to reach 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists. and now he's at the top of the all time list for regular season minutes played. lebron

spent 34 minutes on the court against the kings last night to give him 57,471 for his career, moving past hall of famer kareem abdul-jabbar for the record, and that amounts to nearly 40 days of playing nonstop basketball. james finished with 19 points in the 113 100 win, and afterwards, the 39 year old spoke about reaching this milestone. >> obviously, anytime i'm linked with some of the greats that have ever played this game and you know, i've been available to my teammates to know i've been able to do this at a high level over two decades and continue to put myself and, you know, record books in this game of basketball that i love so much. and the best league in the world. it's it's pretty cool and it's very, very humbling. >> in the meantime, knicks center karl-anthony towns got a standing ovation from the fans in his return to minnesota for the first time since his blockbuster trade back in october. and in return, he gave them quite a show. kat with 32 points, 20 rebounds and six assists while going five for five from beyond the arc in new york's 133 107 win. that makes him the first in nba history to

record that exact stat line. and what made the feat even more special was doing it in the place where he started his career the place i've called home for nine seasons. >> this place means a lot to me and my family you know, everyone was trying to make it seem like it was just another game. i knew it wasn't, and i'm just happy that our team could have played the way we played tonight and, you know, get the win. >> turning to the nfl now the chargers scored three second half touchdowns to beat the broncos 3427 last night. but they began their comeback with one of the rarest plays in football. cameron dicker nailing a 57 yard fair catch kick with no time left on the clock in the first half. so this rule allows the team that has just made a fair catch to attempt a free kick from the spot of the catch. now the attempt cannot be blocked, and if it's converted, it's worth three points. no one had converted one since ray wersching in 1976, with the then san diego chargers. >> it's my favorite rule in football. >> um, and it's just been, uh,

trying to get one of those, like, every game, you know, uh, and cam dicker stepped up and nailed it. and, uh, i thought that was that was a huge good momentum. uh, you know, got the momentum back it was fun. >> and the state of indiana has the spotlight tonight for the first round of the expanded 12 team college football playoff number seven, notre dame hosting number ten indiana in south bend in the first playoff game at notre dame stadium. this one could come down to what happens on the ground. casey, the irish averaging 225 rushing yards per game. but the hoosiers have yet to allow a team to rush for more than 140 yards this season. so keep an eye on that. the winner of tonight's game, which could be pretty chilly, by the way, will face georgia next. the other three first round matchups are on saturday, and you can catch the early games smu, penn state, clemson and texas on our sister channel, tnt. and when i say chili, i'm talking like 30 degrees in south bend. casey. so if you are lucky enough to be going to the game, make sure you bundle up. it is going to be cold out there, but it should be fun. >> yeah, for sure. uh, it sounds chilly. carolyn. that

play that harbaugh ran, that's amazing. like i, i'm sort of stunned by that. very cool favorite rule in football. i didn't even know it was a rule in football at all. carolyn. thank you. happy holidays to you. all right. coming up next in our in our next hour with a second donald trump term on the horizon, president biden trying to protect his legacy. he is making a last minute push around electric vehicles. we'll discuss. plus, the clock is ticking on a deal to keep the government open. congresswoman debbie dingell joins us to discuss. >> also, shout out to the billionaires. shut it all down on the holidays. energy. this is like if a christmas carol ended with scrooge kicking in bob cratchit's door, screaming, give me that turkey! also, i want the boy's cane can't fool myself. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life has extremely joyful moments and some really difficult moments.
