so we were closer to south bend, so we were notre dame fans. but my parents were from ohio, so it was very confusing. i was one of those iu, iu basketball, notre dame football fans. but now i've gone to the dark side and now i'm a michigan football fan, so i don't even know what to do. >> things have gotten complicated in kate's life when it comes to football. that's that. we can tell all complications. andy ogles is like, let me out of here, i'm freezing, i don't care, i can't feel my fingers. >> i'm so jealous. you're going to have so much fun tonight thank you. >> andy. >> all right. should we do this? yeah, sure. okay, i love you. weight loss medications like ozempic wegovy. they have been life changing. really? described as miracle drugs for so many people. but for others, the drugs have led to some serious side effects. and now thousands of patients are suing manufacturers over this. cnn's nick watt spoke to one of those patients. >> i'm always going to the bathroom. i had to prepare myself for this. you know, i don't know how long i coul

cnn's andy scholes joins us from south bend, indiana. little snowy out there that should make this matchup pretty fun. what can you tell us, andy jim, you couldn't have asked for a cooler matchup to kick off the first ever 12 team college football playoff. >> you've got the hoosiers taking on rudy, and indiana has not beat notre dame here in south bend since 98. that's 1898. so indiana certainly trying to make some history. and there's an interesting dynamic with these fans, jim, you know, indiana traditionally a basketball school football team. not that great. so for decades indiana fans have cheered for notre dame football. but that's certainly not going to be the case here tonight. i've been catching up with some fighting irish and hoosier fans. they're certainly pumped for this in-state matchup. you always have hope from the new coach, but to see how you football turn around like it is, it's nothing i've ever seen before. >> usually root for notre dame football and iu basketball, but this year we've got iu football, so we're half and

but it all gets started here tonight guys in south bend.se two schools indiana and notre dame both here in the state. but they have not played each other since 1991. and such an interesting dynamic with the indiana fans because, you know, they're a traditional basketball school, usually not good at football. they are now, but usually not good at football. so indiana fans traditionally over the decades have cheered for notre dame football, but that will not be the case here tonight. >> no blood and carnage. that is what is before us. it's going to be an amazing game. i can't wait. >> all right, i know you're excited and you want to go to watch the game. so thank you for joining us. cnn news central cnn newsroom starts next. thank you guys. >> andy, take a seat anderson. look at this. you're wet disheveled. there's debris hitting you. we need to be ready for new year's eve maybe you are ready. >> new year's eve live with anderson and andy. live coverage starts at eight on cnn. >> best part of the party? snooping in the bathroom. ooh! party fo

they had similar weather like this yesterday in south bend as well for that game between notre dame anddiana that kicked off the 12 team playoff and the notre dame players. they sent a message from the start. they went out for warmups, not wearing any shirts, saying that those frigid temperatures were not going to bother them one bit. and despite being less than 200 miles apart, this was actually the first matchup between these two schools since 1991. it was dominated by notre dame. the teams traded interceptions early and then it was jeremiah love, the play of the game, a 98 yard touchdown run just sent the whole stadium into a frenzy. that run tied a school record and the irish would end up winning that one easily, 2717 to get their first ever playoff victory. >> i've never been a part of an environment like that. it was it was special. the crowd played a factor. the noise played a factor. um, you know, it was it was it was a special thing to be a part of. this is special for us. and, uh, you know, a lot of us, me being a guy who, you know, my freshman year, i went three and nine and,

so this in that so, so for in territory for south bend government or uh, it's a citizen is dealing with the very top line us up against ration with donald trump as a president. are these are the 2nd time, but at the same time, we know what title foreign policy and trade pressure would be coming from washington. we do, you know, variation out on trauma and even with the dates of political chaos, created by the declaration of martial law. so there is an early month of preparation and readiness on the south 20 on side. so we know what we were going to get with a donut from coming back to the white house and that you'll pull it. it goes to goodness, go, sorry, good. can not be a discount dude, because a major target of trunk diplomacy remains the same. it's china. so in the context of the truck bought the ministration, tried to pressure and contain china. then south korea will remain as a very viable and importer on the end, the month to trump the mysterious on of the united states. despite all this political turmoils and weaknesses in the south spring government, a t on, i mean, do we stil

first game of the college football playoff was a battle of indiana hoosiers taking on notre dame in south bend. fighting irish came out hot. they were pinned at their own school yard and jeremiah love takes a simple handoff breaks through the line. >> and look at his get outside and go down the sideline with hoosier defenders trying to catch they're not gonna i love that for him. a 98 yard touchdown run the longest over game's history and it's 7 to nothing irish. same score in the 2nd quarter. notre dame go through the air. riley leonard play action hits jayden thomas in the end zone. notre dame would build a 27 3 lead. indiana made it look a little closer than really was at the end. 27 17, the notre dame will face second student, georgia in the sugar bowl on january. first, sure. on the corner flow. some cool soccer news today was the mls superdraft in the san jose. earthquakes are keeping a local kid home selecting usf defender. really roberts. >> with the 5th overall pick roberts was the west coast conference defender of the year. this past season for the dons. the quakes also had the numbe

himself and on me through of national defense then it is clearly demonstrated that you know, for south bend economy and liberal democracy to be protected. uh, who have to pay the price of who have to be, you know, just what price but but you know um eliminating them from the finish. and so this making power um, you know, somebody has to, you know, follow the consequences, but it is very encouraging sign that you get to go in the 150 minutes. from the moment that for the new sonya declared, the marshal and the national assembly member as the 190 of the of the members passed the resolution and the forces quickly we drew from the national assembly building. so there's a discrepancy between what the minister of national defense my paper and the rest of the for suicide. yeah, was pretty for interesting is need to see one cool. if that is the case at the same time, military isn't unified behind this decision. could that spell more trouble? i think so, because if anything is the military war unified and they are whole being the uh, the older. so the minister of defense in conjunction with the pric

and it's not only from the south bend from the east, you have seen that earlier today. the position of forces are picking the control of pop mirror. and that literally means that the syrian government news in the connection from the empire used to parts of the country. and there's not only data from the, nor now the position of the page and the 4th largest city of celia, how much they have rep with the admins toward the city of homes and know the answered the city of homes, the fields collages between the position and the government forces are still taking place, the forces, seeing that soon, perhaps they are going to be able to reach to the city center. so when you look at this picture, you're seeing that the, the position is ad listening to where the capital from 3 directions. and then the city and government is really, i reckon it's forces from the importance of data sold from the south from the know to the capital city. but it's not to me whether it be submitted to the strategy or if the government is losing the control. when you're talking about the analyst and the

know, these these teams in the first round getting the school environment like we saw today in south bend was incredible. i mean, they definitely got that part of this right. let's go to the quarterfinals, i think. do we both like texas here? >> oh yeah texas is coming out of that. i mean i think the big 12 was not a very good conference this year. arizona state won it. congratulations to kenny dillingham. it's nice to see the pac 12 winning the big ten and the big 12 this year. so that's always good. but yeah texas moves on i think that's big time. that's when quinn ewers really has to show up. absolutely. >> all right oregon against ohio state. and dylan gabriel is the quarterback. he's from the university of well he didn't go to the university of hawaii, but he's from hawaii. in fact, his father was a great quarterback for uh. are we just advancing oregon here? >> i think oregon goes on again. so here's the question though, too. we talked about this rest versus rust. oregon i don't think this is an advantage to get a bye in the first round of the playoffs. i just don't i think not play

after his days in south bend, steve spent two years working for one of the big five accounting firms of that time before realizing he wasn't meant to have a boss. he then went out on his own spending most of his early career helping small businesses finance equipment purchases after their local banks had denied them. after a successful career as a c.p.a., steve delved into real estate development and founded laurel canyon holdings. steve developed a project in the san fernando valley. that is where our paths would cross. i have gotten to know steve since my days on the los angeles city council. and i have been -- i have seen steve's commitment to his business, philanthropy, and his beautiful family. in 1985 steve married kathleen dickerson, and celebrating 39 years of marriage. they are blessed with three beautiful children. thank you for your integrity, love and generosity. you know the saying. to know you is to love you. steve, many blessings have come to many of us because we've gotten to know you and we do love you. thank you for everything that you've done for our country and th

indiana had a football team hat tip to the coach he has brought them to national prominence coming to south bendomorrow, going to be snowy and i believe that notre dame and marcus freeman will be prepared to run the ball. go back to the most valuable university we're sixth on that list but i could call lou holtz right now and he would talk about ryan day not deserving that number one spot it's fascinating to see the amount of money each one of these teams in these college playoffs are receiving about $10 million. if you look at the ohio state example you talked about making $280 million a year, if they're able to go all the way to the championship they will drop another 10 to 15%. 30, $40 million to their bottom line it's remarkable to see the amount of cash in college football. >> all right well i got to say go iu. there are a lot of -- >> go irish. >> go irish. thanks very much jeff killberg. >>> still ahead, talk about a comeback story carvana shares worth less than $5 two years ago and today now they are sitting around 232. that's a 5100% increase. we'll talk to ceo ernie garcia about what's

it's going to be 28 degrees here in south bend for kickoff. and like that, like that fan said, it's like the christmas bowl. we got snow on the ground. notre dame fans wearing green. indiana fans wearing red. it should be a lot of fun. >> great stuff andy. and who do you have winning this whole thing? it's going to be hard to stop. oregon. i think the whole plant. >> yeah, i got texas winning it all. there you go. wow. >> okay. >> very good. okay, texan, we'll be watching. >> all right. andy schulz, thanks very much. and thank you all for joining me this morning. i want to bring in my good friend pamela brown. pam, lots of news this morning, including the government shutdown that is looming on the horizon there. it's getting closer and closer. the clock is ticking down. >> yeah. and it could have real implications for americans, right. if that happens, you know, this is supposed to be the most wonderful time of year, jim, here in washington, it is the most chaotic as that clock ticks toward midnight for that government shutdown. >> so a lot of
