2:00 am
with the joint information center, and they confirmed with me that that protocol of in person door knocks and warning people over loudspeakers. >> they said that was done in the eaton fire. now, whether they did that specifically on the west side of altadena will have to wait until that full review comes out for those kinds of details. i can tell you anecdotally, though, the people we interviewed said they do not remember that happening on their specific streets. anderson. >> wow. it's just incredible. and natasha chen thank you. that's it. we actually have some pictures. i want to show you the san diego fire that we talked about. this is closer to the border. um, not at this point. a huge fire, but obviously of concern. uh, this is along the california border, at least 228 acres destroyed. last night. we saw that fire grow very fast. further up, closer to l.a. the news
2:01 am
continues right here on cnn it's friday. >> january 24th. >> right now on cnn this morning. >> we had to act now to provide back to the status quo, back what has been the law of the land for generations. birthright battle. president trump vows to appeal after a judge hands him a setback in his fight to redefine america's immigration laws. plus. >> i take. >> seriously the advice and consent. >> role assigned. >> to the. >> senate. >> the final vote. >> pete hegseth. now, just hours away from getting confirmed to lead the pentagon after late opposition from a pair of republicans and taming the flames, firefighters face more battles to contain the latest blaze in southern california. all right. it is 5 a.m. here on
2:02 am
the east coast. a live look at the u.s. capitol on this friday morning. we made it to friday, first week of the second trump presidency coming to a close. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. we begin with president donald trump's bid to shut down the southern border and rewrite the constitution on immigration this next order relates to the definition of birthright citizenship under the 14th amendment of the united states. and first, a federal judge in seattle issuing a temporary restraining order to block trump's executive action, ending birthright citizenship. the judge calling the move blatantly unconstitutional. >> mr. president, a u.s. judge temporarily blocks the birthright citizenship order. do you have any reaction? >> no. obviously we'll appeal it. they put it before a certain judge in seattle, i guess. right. and there's no surprises with that judge. >> it should be noted that judge john ilona maher was appointed
2:03 am
by president reagan. president trump also ordering the pentagon to surge 1500 active military troops to the border. here's what he told the world economic forum yesterday. >> i'm also taking swift action to stop the invasion at our southern border. they allowed people to come in at levels that nobody's ever seen before. it was ridiculous, and it was really an invasion. we will not allow our territory to be violated after four long years. >> trump's long promised raids already underway. you are looking at surveillance video of ice agents raiding a local business in newark, new jersey. the mayor there says three people were taken into custody and that his city was, quote, unlawfully terrorized, end quote, ice agents also taking at least one person into custody in east boston. let's bring in reese gorman, political reporter, for notice. reese. good morning. nice to see you. good morning. the birthright citizenship move that trump made seems to be the one that is most clearly, it's most black and white, right? this is something that's written down in the 14th
2:04 am
amendment. very hard to interpret it any other way. and in fact, this is basically what the judge said. again, a judge appointed by ronald reagan, there's clearly going to get tied up in the courts, but it's just one piece of a really sweeping immigration crackdown. >> exactly. and this is i mean, this is kind of their plan, too. i mean, they want this to go i mean, they want they knew this was going to get blocked. they knew that some judge was going to block it. they want this to go to the supreme court. they want to challenge this and have the supreme court rule on it. obviously, trump is confident in a lot of what his supreme court does. i mean, he appointed a lot of these conservative justices, and he believes that they will rule with him. and also to your point, this is also just a small portion of a bigger immigration policy that we're seeing. i mean, with the border wall, with the national border emergency labeling cartels of foreign terrorists with these raids going on. i mean, this is something that he is just cracking down on, something that he's leading this kind of very aggressive approach against illegal immigration. >> and it is an issue that democrats clearly seem to
2:05 am
understand is difficult for them, that, in fact, where trump is on immigration seems to be much closer to where the electorate actually is on immigration than perhaps they've been. let's watch what hakeem jeffries had to say yesterday about how they're going to focus on this in congress. take a look. >> we've made clear. >> we will work. >> together to secure our borders. we will work together to fix our broken. >> immigration system. >> in a bipartisan and comprehensive way. and we will defend dreamers, farm workers and families. >> so he's basically laying out there, okay, we're going to go along with some of these border security things that republicans are proposing. their priorities are going to be these groups of people, dreamers, farm workers and keeping families together. >> and i think you saw that, too, in the bipartisan vote for the laken riley act is something that i mean, more people voted for it this time around than what happened when it was voted on last congress. and this is something that you're just seeing new kind of i mean, you're seeing new democrats realize that this is an issue that was a losing issue for them in the last election. i mean, this is something that trump ran on heavily, that democrats
2:06 am
thought that they could win on. and obviously they didn't because they lost the house or they kind of they didn't retake the house. they lost the senate, they lost the presidency. so this is an issue that they do feel like they are kind of kind of disconnected with the electorate on. and i think you're going to see, especially when it comes to vulnerable democrats in congress, kind of support more of these kind of measures to kind of curb illegal immigration. >> and again, this is something that's going to be up to each state and local like set of state and local officials. let's watch how the new york mayor, eric adams, talked about this. he has he's gone down to mar-a-lago to visit trump. he's got a lot going on in his own situation, but he does have to make some decisions about how to deal with the feds in new york city. let's watch adams. >> the ink is not even dry on these executive orders, and people are responding to them. let's first allow the corporation counsel and our legal team to read over so we can give clear direction to city employees to make sure that they are following whatever rules and
2:07 am
won't expose them to any form of jeopardy. >> he's sort of avoiding the political question in a way, and basically saying he doesn't want his city employees to do anything that's going to get them crosswise with the law. but that also, of course, opens up the to the idea that he's going to cooperate. >> yeah. and i think, i mean, this is an issue that he was kind of hounded on. i mean, republican states were bussing migrants to his state. and this is something that he was really trying to kind of have to deal with a lot in the past couple of years. and i think now especially, he's really trying. i mean, after seeing him, he's going to face a really tough reelection. i think that's something that new york city is also very upset with. is this this influx of migrants coming in. and you're seeing that kind of reaction. so i think he's kind of just responding to where the electorate is at for sure. but yeah, this is something that's not just him. you're going to see it. i mean, i think trump also wants to do raids in chicago that you're going to want to see them in boston. they're doing a raid. i mean, this is stuff that you're going to see these local municipalities be like, are we going to kind of work with the president on this? and i think we'll see what happens. >> all right. gorman, for us of notice, thank you very much for
2:08 am
starting us off this morning. have a good weekend. all right. straight ahead here on cnn this morning. no rest for southern california firefighters. they are now back on the front lines facing more fast moving flames. plus president trump looking to make good on his promise to be america's crypto president. and republicans end debate and move pete hegseth nomination to lead the defense department to a final vote. >> he is so out. >> of the mainstream and so. >> unqualified for dod. mr.. >> hegseth has. >> said he. >> made mistakes. >> in the past, and i dare say. >> we've all made mistakes in the past. >> kobe believed in himself at. >> the youngest. >> possible age. >> he's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. i don't want to be remembered. as just a. basketball player. kobe premieres tomorrow at 9:00 on cnn. >> they are trying to shut down this legal loophole to get 100 milligram generic viagra, or 20 milligram generic cialis

2:13 am
>> i will end joe biden's war on crypto. we will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of bitcoin will be made in america. otherwise, other countries are going to have it. >> that was president donald trump on the campaign trail. now, less than a week back in the oval office, he's already moving to promote cryptocurrencies and support their growth in the u.s. yesterday, signing an executive order aiming to overhaul digital asset regulation so that. >> this is. the crypto eo. >> we're going to be forming an internal working group to make crypto, to make america the world capital in crypto. under your leadership. >> which is really going. >> up. the order establishing a working group made up of several federal officials, including the treasury secretary and the attorney general, who will be tasked with coming up with crypto policies and regulations and looking into, quote, the potential creation and maintenance of a national digital asset stockpile and proposed criteria for establishing such a stockpile. the on campaign promises. president trump has also had his own personal interests in the
2:14 am
crypto world. last fall, he and his children announced a crypto business in just days ahead of the inauguration, both the president and first lady melania trump launched a pair of so-called meme coins, a form of particularly volatile cryptocurrency, raising billions of dollars and plenty of ethics concerns. joining me now to discuss bloomberg white house correspondent stephanie lai. stephanie. good morning. is it possible to stockpile cryptocurrency? >> it is possible right now, as the. >> executive order. >> lays out. >> their plan right now. is to use. >> assets that. >> are. >> seized by the federal government. >> now, there's some discussion among the. >> industry as. >> to whether we should be building a stockpile based off of criminal activity. but there is a lot of discussion right now. this is something that a lot of senators are particularly worried about. and i think what the executive order laid out is essentially that we're making a plan for a plan. it was largely a messaging, a messaging action, but it is very clear that president trump is weighing and leaning on congress to actually see through with this policy.
2:15 am
>> can we talk about the meme coin for a second? because there are people out there who are buying this coin, and here's one explanation why. for example, this is reuters. they write, quote, a primary draw. for some of them. they mean the investors in this coin. the connection with trump, according to interviews with some investors, world liberty financial is, quote, directly connected to our new crypto president, donald trump, said segal fund segal fund, a gibraltar based fund whose chief investment officer is one of the investors. and this gets at the ethical concerns as well. right, right. >> and i think what a lot of people are concerned about is that it looks like the president is profiting billions and billions off of this. but i think what is notable is that one of the concerns that have come up with these meme coins is that a lot of it is actually owned by just a couple of very wealthy people. and so the value of it is actually quite inflated from what we currently see. >> what is the biggest change from and how did the biden administration deal with crypto? i mean, obviously trump's trying to make a show of that, but
2:16 am
what's the actual reality? >> i mean, i think when people think about the crypto regulations, they tend to mention gary gensler, which was the former sec chair, and it was just that he was quite, i guess, open about regulating the industry. whereas trump is sort of messaging on the exact opposite. now, on top of this executive order, the sec put out a ruling yesterday that sort of reversed one of the more controversial policies that were in place during the biden administration. i think largely when you think about what biden actually did, was that he didn't really necessarily touch it and just sort of left it for the regulatory agencies to deal with it. and so by putting out this executive order now on day three, you know, trump is really making a stand that this is what we're focused on. you know, we're going to completely reverse the messaging from the last administration. >> all right, stephanie live for us this morning. stephanie, thanks very much for being with us i appreciate it. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, president trump says he would meet with vladimir putin immediately ahead. his warning for the russian president about the war in ukraine. plus, southern california grappling

2:23 am
rain is expected, and that could have more significant impacts in fire devastated areas. can you explain what you expect in terms of rain and what might happen from it? >> there's a there's a lot of. uncertainty still with this storm system that we're looking at. this this storm will be dropping through the through the great basin and and across the interior of central california. and then kind of cut off off our shore. off. off the coast here. and so we'll start to see some of that moisture that will provide some beneficial rain, mostly beneficial rain to these areas. but that rain could come heavy at times, especially in the in the form of thunderstorms. if those develop. and not only that, we could be looking at potential for small hail or even turning more convective with some heavy, heavier downburst. if that hits a burn area. if any of those storms hit a burn area that can cause flooding, mud and debris flow of mud and debris can come off that fire. and that would cause possibly and
2:24 am
potentially an equally life threatening situation to the fires that we saw. >> and, sir, the patterns for the weather this year been kind of long term over the next weeks and months, are you expecting there to be generally a reprieve from this, or how long are people going to their still living on edge? >> yeah, unfortunately, this is last year. we dealt with a pattern that was that was very different from this, where we had storms coming in off the pacific and, and really bringing in a lot more, a lot more rain. this this pattern is much different. we have a blocking ridge of high pressure sitting over the over the eastern pacific ocean. and so we're we're relying on some of these troughs or low pressure areas dropping south. and and actually cutting off the through the off the ocean here and giving us that beneficial moisture. so that has been the pattern in place. climatology is on our side. you know, everything suggests that that february and march should should be wetter.
2:25 am
and that's that's the climate of southern california. so we're we're going with that at this point and hopes that, that we can actually turn the corner here with our fire weather season. >> all right. todd hall for us this morning todd, very grateful for your time today. thanks very much for being here. >> thank you. >> all right. it is 24 minutes past the hour. here's your morning roundup. president donald trump is heading to california today to assess the damage from the wildfires. california governor gavin newsom says he intends to meet the president at the airport when he arrives, despite receiving no communication from the white house about the visit today, president trump will address the national march for life in a pre-taped video. he also pardoned 23 anti-abortion activists who were charged during the biden administration. but he did not say who specifically received the pardons. president trump calling on russian president vladimir putin to end the war in ukraine. >> i think russia should want to make a deal. maybe they want to
2:26 am
make a deal. i think from what i hear, putin would like to see me and we'll meet as soon as we can. >> president trump is threatening russia with sanctions. in a truth social post earlier this week, he called on putin to quote, settle now and stop this ridiculous war. it is only going to get worse. all right. coming up on cnn this morning, democrats in the new trump era, what strategy do they e? plus, at least two republicans could vote no today on pete hegseth confirmation to be secreta make any difference? >> i'm not going to. >> cave to pressure. >> i'm going. >> to vote. >> for his. >> confirmation. >> this part changed my life. >> superman is now nominated for a bafta award for best documentary. >> chris wanted to change the world. >> people are literally. >> walking because of. >> him. >> superman. the christopher reeve story. february 2nd on cnn one. >> a next. >> level clean swish with the whoa of listerine. it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning power than brushing and flossing

2:32 am
this is a blatantly unconstitutional order. i have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar would state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. it just boggles my mind. washington's attorney general spoke after the hearing. >> this is step one, but to hear the judge from the bench say that in his 40 years as a judge, he has never seen something so blatantly unconstitutional, sets the tone for the seriousness of this effort. >> but the president seems unmoved by the early defeat for one of his signature policy ideas. >> mr. president, a u.s. judge temporarily blocks. >> the birthright. >> citizenship order. do you have any reaction? >> no. obviously we'll appeal it. they put it before a certain judge in seattle, i guess. right. and there's no surprises with that judge. >> worth noting, the judge making the ruling in that case was appointed by ronald reagan more than 40 years ago. joining us now to discuss. cnn legal analyst joey jackson. joey, good
2:33 am
morning to you. always nice to see you. is this really just about president trump wanting to challenge birthright citizenship at the supreme court? they had to know that this is how this was going to play out. >> yeah. >> casey, good morning to you. you could make the. argument that. >> certainly it was. >> political in nature. we know where he stands on immigration. we know where he stands. >> as. >> it relates to the entirety of that issue and his party stance. but this is about the law and. >> more than. >> the law. it's about the constitution. what's the difference? a law is a statute. it's something that congress gets together, they convene, and ultimately it's passed and placed into law as this is and the immigration nationality act. right. however, the constitution is something our founding fathers put together. and in that constitution, in an amendment, it specifically says that if you are born in the united states, you're subject to the jurisdiction thereof. you have birthright citizenship. furthermore, casey, there's a supreme court case going back 150 years or so, which upholds
2:34 am
the fact that involved the two chinese people who were in the united states, who were not citizens. their son was deemed and determined to be a citizen. so there's a lot of precedent here. it could be politics. but then again, listen, the supreme court does have a supermajority of six conservative justices to three, and it will end up there. let's see how they interpret it and whether they overturn yet another far reaching and certainly enshrined, enshrined in the constitution. uh, just really something that's such a product and, uh. really relating to the nature of who we are as an institution and a country. >> so, joey, can i ask you, i mean, if if you're a family, if you're a woman who's currently pregnant with a baby, you don't have status here in the u.s., but you are here or you're on one of these temporary visas that's also named in this order. do you have to worry that your child will not be a u.s. citizen? >> well, i think it depends who

your husband is, right? or who you're the father of the child is. and certainly in the event that the father of the child in that instance that you described, casey, does not have a connection to the united states with respect to citizenship, uh, green card or proper status, then you have a significant issue. and i think that's one of the reasons why the court in seattle and the judge appointed by reagan, as you noted, on the bench more than 40 years ago, made the ruling that he did. certainly, there will be more to come. and as the president did note, it will go up to other courts. it will be challenged in the ninth circuit, which is the appeals court for the west, and then ultimately the supreme court. and so this is really something that is going to challenge institutions. it's going to challenge our democracy, and it's really going to give an indication of whether this court is wedded to interpreting the constitution, or whether it's doing the bidding of the president, who is in office at this time. >> all right. joey jackson for us this morning. joey, thanks very much for being with us. have a good weekend, my friend. okay.
2:36 am
>> thanks. you too. >> all right. today, senators will vote on pete hegseth nomination to be secretary of defense. but not all republicans are on board. republican senators lisa murkowski and susan collins joining democrats, saying that they will vote against his nomination. senator murkowski telling cnn this, quote, i evaluated not only what was out there publicly, but everything that's been out there. his responses and hearings, all of what was in front of us. and i came to the conclusion that he lacks the strength of character and good judgment, that in all departments, we need to have, but most particularly in the department of defense. senator susan collins, also voicing her opposition to hegseth by saying in part, this quote, i'm not convinced that his position on women serving in combat roles has changed. his earlier comments suggested he thinks women shouldn't be able to serve in combat. he's also faced several allegations, including sexual assault, that he denies. he's still, though, seems to have the support of enough republicans to be confirmed. >> i have tried. >> to and.
2:37 am
>> continue to. >> track down before his confirmation. vote any. >> sort of. >> lead. >> with people that would speak to. >> me, and. >> they all. >> had one thing in common up to this point. >> and. >> none of them could. >> provide me. >> with firsthand. >> corroborated testimony. >> i'm not. >> going. >> to cave to pressure. i'm going to vote for his confirmation. >> as for president trump, he says he's not worried about today's vote. >> mr. president. >> senators collins and murkowski. >> have now said they will. >> vote against pete hegseth. >> are you. >> worried about his. >> confirmation and your reaction? >> and no surprises there. too bad. >> joining us now is steph gaetz, politics reporter for axios. steph good morning. nice to see you. so tillis of course they're one of the key potential votes here on pete hegseth nomination. just because they need four if they're going to block you know four republicans would have to vote against pete hegseth if they were going to block his nomination. we heard collins and murkowski say that they're not going to do it, but they're not enough by themselves. is he on the fast track? >> it looks like. >> he has. he will have the votes today to be confirmed. of course, we're looking at the
2:38 am
procedural vote. >> yesterday. >> and one other key player that people were watching, and i was watching very closely was mitch mcconnell. of course, whether he was also going to join with with collins and murkowski and the fact that he at least was willing to vote to move forward with this nomination seems to indicate that there's not going to be enough votes against hegseth to really block his confirmation. so we're expecting, you know, a very late night vote tonight, get him confirmed in that position. despite all of the allegations and scandal that he's been through over the past several weeks. and we do expect democrats, though, to to make this as hard as possible, they're going to drag out this process as long as possible to show how opposed they are to this nomination. >> steph. in the late days of this hours of this fight for hegseth to be confirmed, there was an affidavit that went to the committee from former sister in law of pete hegseth. a new statement from his second ex-wife talking about his
2:39 am
drinking. what impact did the appearance of that into the debate have among senators? >> it came up quite a lot. we know that even in one on one meetings, hegseth often had to answer questions from senators about that issue. in particular, just knowing the fact that being the secretary of defense means you are on call 24 over seven, you need to be sober minded. it's a very serious position. and so there were many republican senators who had questions and concerns about that. it came up in the hearing, and it's also cited as part of the reasons why collins and murkowski said they could not vote for him. it was one of many reasons that they cited. but most republicans feel like they got the answers they needed. hegseth, of course, has promised to stay sober, to not drink if he gets confirmed to this position. and that seemed to convince at least some of the key republicans. >> yeah, murkowski in particular. her statement really focused on character and what she thinks about character. she's also had she had a statement related to donald trump renaming mount mckinley,
2:40 am
renaming denali as mount mckinley. she's shown a willingness to buck donald trump. what's letting her do that? >> absolutely. i mean, both collins and murkowski have, for a long time now been the voices willing to push back against donald trump even in the first term. they are now two of only three senators still currently in the senate who voted to convict trump of impeachment. right. so this going into this, we knew they were going to be key players in this congress. and murkowski in particular, has shown that she's not only willing to to vote differently, she's also willing to speak out. for example, you know, the issue of renaming denali to mount mckinley, which is, of course, in her state. it's something she feels very strongly about. i've asked her about it, and she intends to continue talking to the president about that decision. >> all right. steph. for us this morning, steph, thanks very much for your time. i appreciate it. all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning, why democrats are determined to work with president trump after constantly criticizing him for the last eight years. plus, a beat down in l.a., the lakers

2:46 am
>> with president trump back in the white house, this time backed by a republican majority in both houses of congress, democrats now left looking for a new way to approach a president who has now been the dominant figure in american politics for nearly a decade. in the days following trump's first inauguration eight years ago, the streets of dc were packed with scenes like this one protesters telling democrats in congress to resist donald trump's agenda. now, democrats say they've gotten a different message. >> there's things you have to resist on, but the people want us to work. >> together to. >> try. >> and. solve problems. and we've. >> tried all the stuff of just tearing him down as much as we can. and it didn't work. he won. >> and with president joe biden officially gone as the democratic party's leader, the former obama aides behind the podcast pod save america are arguing that whoever takes the helm next needs to be a fit for the 21st century. >> how about somebody. >> that can a democrat. >> that's doing. >> two hour press.

2:48 am
>> the thing that is the. >> broad principle. >> the governing. >> idea of. democratic policies. >> of. the democratic party across all. >> of our stuff, from talking about climate change to choice to worker. >> protections, it is all. >> that every american gets to live with dignity. nobody should have to live in fear. and when democrats run on that, when we say we. >> are the. >> people who have your back. democrats win elections. so when we have the opportunity, that's what we do. we say we're here to. >> make sure. >> that you've got good jobs, good schools. >> good wages. >> this time. >> now. you know. the ultimate. >> failure, i think, of 2024 is that folks just didn't want the product. they did not trust the brand. >> so how much of that had to do with the cultural issues that are coming up now? i mean, the president, president trump has gone after diversity, equity and
2:49 am
inclusion. and some democrats i've talked to have said, you know, we've been too woke, quote, unquote, in how we talk about things. and then there's obviously the issue of immigration. >> you know, i think the immigration issue specifically talking about the laken riley vote, when you look at the list of democrats who voted for that bill, you were looking at folks who have had hard elections, you were looking at folks who are going to have hard reelections and a lot of elected officials who imagine themselves as future governors and future senators. i think a lot of folks voted for laken riley not necessarily out of some ideological position, some grand idea about how to steer the party, but because they were looking to avoid attack ads. >> well, it's a recognition of the reality of the political landscape. no. >> sure. you know, 50% of people say that immigration is one of their most important issues when they voted for president. and you have a lot of those votes came from border states, came from
2:50 am
places where donald trump had won. >> matt, i want to show you something. one of the big questions, of course, is who's going to lead the democratic party out of the wilderness? because there was a time during the bush administration where the country it seemed like, what's the matter with kansas? the country was never going to go blue again. then obviously we had the iraq war, but we also had barack obama. right. joe biden is leaving. there's no heir apparent. this is what james carville had to say about biden recently. the words are kind of tough. let's watch. >> what he's. >> done to himself is no. >> one wants. >> to hear from. >> this guy anymore, okay. >> just go. >> to your condo. >> in. >> rehoboth and stay there. >> in. and that's not. >> because we're bad. >> people or we mean people. it was. all his doing this kind. >> of petty. >> back and forth. oh, i. >> would have. >> beat trump and no one believes. that at all. you had a noble. >> career. >> your last act was. >> terrible.
2:51 am
>> just get out of the. >> way. >> the party's. >> moving on is carville right? >> who i love? joe biden. joe biden has been a great president. it is a career that anybody would be envious of. so it is hard for me to say, hard for me to stomach that. you know, maybe this has not been the best exit, but i was in atlanta the night that we had the debate with donald trump, and nobody in that room felt like we were in a good spot as a party. nobody felt like we were in a good spot for that election. >> all right, matt arnold, i really appreciate your time this morning. i hope you'll come back. see you soon. all right. time now for sports. 24 time grand slam champion novak djokovic got booed off the court at the australian open after pulling out with an injury. andy scholes has this morning's cnn sports update. andy good morning. >> hey good morning casey. >> shame on the. >> fans in australia who booed. >> novak djokovic. >> you know he was two wins. >> away from a.
2:52 am
>> 25th grand slam title. >> if he retires from that match. it was. >> for good reason. >> but that didn't stop some of those fans from voicing their displeasure. >> i can't believe. >> yeah. so djokovic retired after losing the marathon first set to alexander zverev. it took almost an hour and a half. that first set djokovic. he gave the thumbs up to some of the crowd that was booing him as he left, and zverev then stood up for djokovic. >> please guys, don't don't boo a player when he goes out with an injury. >> you got. >> to understand. novak djokovic is somebody that has given the sport for the past 20 years. absolutely everything of his life, and he he has won this tournament with an abdominal tear. he has won this turn with a hamstring tear. if he cannot continue a tennis match, it really means that he cannot continue a tennis match. i knew even if i won. >> the first set, it is going to be a. huge uphill battle for me,

you know, to stay physically fit enough to to to stay with him in the rallies, you know, for another god knows what, two, three, four hours. you know, i don't think i had that. unfortunately, today in the tank. >> all right. djokovic, his buddy nikola jokic had himself a night in the nba. check this out. the end of the third quarter jokic a full court shot at the buzzer. and it goes in. fans in denver were just loving that. jokic 35 points 22 rebounds and 17 assists in this one. the second player ever with those kind of numbers joining wilt chamberlain. nuggets beat the kings 132 to 123. lakers and celtics meanwhile, renewing their rivalry in l.a. this one was all lakers into the first quarter. watch lebron here drive to the basket for the one handed slam. lebron 20 points, 14 rebounds. lakers and the celtics their worst loss of the season
