. good morning, welcome to cnn this morning, i'm victor blackwell. >> and i'm isabel rosales in for amara walker, thanks for joining us, israeli combat operations against hamas are entering their second day after the collapse of the week long truce. israel's military says they have hit over 400 targets in just the first 24 hours since the truce expired. they have been directing most of thatfire power toward targets in southern gaza. they've released flyers telling civilians where to evacuate. >> hamas did not provide the names of women and children still held hostage, despite the truce ending, talks to release more hostages are ongoing. ben wedeman is in jerusalem. tell us about what has happened in southern gaza, specifically, over the past few hours. >> reporter: well, what we know, as you mentioned, is that the israeli military said they carried out 400 strikes in southern gaza, now, that compares to 300 on the last day of -- before the truce went into effect. so certainly it does seem to be more intense than it was before. now, according to a statement from the israeli military they hit a weapons storage compound and they said a mosque that was being used as a command center by not hamas, but rather islamic jihad. the palestinian ministry of health reports that as of this morning, at least 200 people were killed and 700 injured, many of the dead and injured, they said, are children, and this -- it's important to keep in mind that even the u.n. says that at least 40% of the population of gaza is under the age of 15. now, we've also seen that the arabic spokesman for the israeli military has ordered the inhabitants of three areas to the east and north of gaza city to leave immediately and leave those areas by 4:00 in the afternoon. now, it's difficult to see how some of these people can leave these areas and go to south of gaza since many of them either don't have cars or don't have the fuel to put in their cars. now, finally, some aid, after 24 hours of nothing getting into gaza, some aid is getting through the palestinian red crescent society, says that 50 trucks with food and medical aid entered gaza through -- from egypt through the rafah crossing. victor, isabel? >> camilla, at the white house, the fighting has resumed in gaza, the administration warning israel that the south cannot look like what we saw in the north before the truce. tell us about that. >> reporter: that's right, victor. president joe biden and his top officials have said, both publicly and privately in conversations with top israeli officials, that they expect israel to take more steps to prevent the loss or mitigate the loss of innocent civilian lives in the gaza region. now, these comments are very significant because it signals that biden is taking a tougher tone when talking to israel and what it expects. they also say that they expect to not see the same levels of displacement we've seen in the northern region take place in the southern region of gaza, and these comments are coming at a time when democratic senators are asking the white house if they are open to the idea of putting conditions on the financial aid it's sending to israel. now, at this time the white house says it has no plans to do that. >> all right, camila, thank you for your time. joining me now is senior columnist and editor for the jerusalem post, thank you for joining us, israel has now resumed fighting in gaza, specifically southern gaza, where does that leave talks for the release of more hostages? israel believes there's 136 of them, 17 being women and children. >> well, let's remember, what happened is israel had about a week every day was getting about ten hostages in exchange it had agreed to a cease-fire, it had stopped the fighting and it was releasing three times the number of palestinian terrorist prisoners who were in israeli jails, what hamas did, even though israel agreed to extend that cease-fire, make it longer hamas refused to give the names and to release more hostages, that's why this fell apart. and the white house was also very clear that the side that violated the cease-fire was hamas, it was not israel. so israel would have preferred for there to be a cease-fire, would have preferred to get more hostages but had no choice to go back to the resumption of this offensive to take down hamas. >> well, hours before israel said combat operations had resumed the u.s. pressured its ally to shield palestinian civilians. here's secretary of state antony blinken in a press conference in tel aviv, let's listen. >> we discussed the details of israel's ongoing planning, and i underscore the imperative for the united states that the massive loss of civilian life and the displacement of the scale we saw in northern gaza not be repeated in the south. as i told the prime minister, intent matters, but so does the result. >> and yaakov, there's been what really looks to be here a significant shift in the biden administration's rhetoric. so two questions for you. will netanyahu's efforts to curb civilian loss of life be genuine? and how far is the israeli prime minister willing to go to accommodate u.s. concerns? >> look, i think that we have to recognize what happened here, on october 7th there was a cease-fire until hamas violated it, entered into israeli communities and butchered and massacred 1,200 people, and took another 230, 240 as hostages, israel did not want this war, it was compelled and forced into this conflict by hamas. hamas wants israel to attack that civilian infrastructure, force civilians to be killed, that's part of its strategy, it wants the world to see those images and to crack down on israel and believe that israel is the side that's a aggressor. can israel do potentially more to minimize civilian casualties and collateral damage? from i've seen up close, israel goes to lengths no other military in the world does. with that said there's no question, isabel, you're right, the pressure from the u.s. is going to impact israel decision-making because israel relies heavily on the support and the alliance with the united states. so, biden and blinking and the rest of the u.s. government starts to say to israel wrap it up, guys, it's time for this war to come to an end, that could lead to a crisis between israel and the united states. but we have to remember, the elimination of hamas, the removal of hamas from power in gaza is not just an israel security interest, it is in the interest of the world, it is in the interest of the palestinian people of gaza, who are also held hostage by this violent terrorist group, so israel has a mission, still to do, which would bring greater stability and safety, not just to israel, but to the entire region. >> and yaakov, we don't have a lot of time. i want to get to that "new york times" report, that officials obtained a document more than a year laying out hamas's battle plans and that plan was stunningly close to reality even including details about those para gliders who would begin the assault. the times say that israel had hamas's blueprints in its hands but dismissed it as aspirational. i'm going to start where your column ended should the people who are part of these failures be allowed to remain in office? >> in my opinion they should not and i think that we will have to see some of these people be fired or step down or take responsibility and resign. but what we're seeing now is we're still in the middle of a conflict, and these decisions about the future of some of these officials is going to have to wait until the war is over and the cannons are no longer roaring. with that said, would it make sense for some people to be replaced in the middle of the conflict, the middle of the war, to people who really failed and messed up? in my view, isabel, it's possible that some of them should, but at the end of the day israel has a war that it has to fight, and i understand that these people are still focused on what they have to do. >> yeah, we'll see how that plays out. mr. katz, thank you. in atlanta a protester is in critical condition after setting herself on fire outside the israeli consulate. a security guard suffered burns when he tried to stop her. raphael romo has more on what police believe was behind this incident. >> reporter: isabel and victor, the incident happened at 12:17 p.m., that's when a security guard here at this building behind me noticed that there was a woman outside trying to set herself on fire. using gasoline as an back -- the security guard tried to stop her, but suffered burns in the process. she suffered third degree to 100% of her body. atlanta police chief there said this was an extreme act of political protest, he also was very emphatic in saying that this isolated protest had no nexus to terrorism. now, there was a lot of concern earlier because this building houses the israeli consulate but officials say that no personnel from the consular offices here was in any danger at any time. al also, earlier reports indicated the woman had a palestinian flag wrapped around herself, but police would only confirm to us that there was a palestinian flag found at the scene. isabel, victor, back to you. >> raphael, thank you so much. still ahead this morning, difficult day for former president trump in the courts as several rulings potentially open doors for new legal troubles. plus, a historic end to a controversial tenure, george santos voted out of congress by his colleagues. we'll discuss the political implications next. and a warning for parents with small children amid a rise of respiratory illnesses, what moms and dads need to know about the triple threat of viruses causing it. no ruling yet on whether or not former president donald trump's indictment will be thrown out in the 2020 election subversion case here in georgia. >> in a hearing lasting six hours yesterday his legal team tried to argue the indictment violates free speech. here's cnn's nick valencia. >> reporter: victor and isabel, friday's court hearing was fascinating. donald trump's attorneys were trying to get the indictment thrown out on first amendment grounds. the defense attorney argued that when former president trump began peddling conspiracy theories and claiming there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election that at its core that was political speech protected by the first amendment. the state had a chance to respond to that saying that while it sounds good to allege that this is political persecution, this was very much so about laws that were broken and crimes that were committed. >> you take the facts as alleged in the indictment throughout the rico count, and when you do that as applied constitutionally with the first amendment you find it violates free speech, freedom of petitioning, all the expressions that the first amendment is designed to protect, and therefore the indictment needs to be dismissed. >> meanwhile, another headline that emerged from the hearing on friday was in terms of scheduling, now, fani willis told "the washington post" recently she wants -- co-defendants in august of 2024. trump's attorney pushed back saying that was unrealistic. he expects his client to be the republican nominee for president and he could not imagine a scenario where trump could simultaneously run for president and stand trial. scheduling in this case is clearly something that still needs to be worked out. nick valencia, cnn, atlanta. >> nick, thank you. joining us now, cnn legal analyst joey jackson, good morning to you. let's start with the free speech argument from trump's attorneys that this violates his rights, what's your view there? >> so, good morning, victor, my views are very dim one, here's why, doesn't matter whether you like trump, love trump, that's not the issue. the issue is the law. and when you look at that particular argument, it's problematic. number one, obviously we all enjoy rights to free speech, right, and particularly the president it's elevated because you have to protect political speech. however, two things of note, victor. number one, there is limitations as we know on the nature of speech, obviously, in terms of it not being unlimited, you know, defamation, that's a problematic, yelling fire is problematic, but that i think is beyond the point. number two, the real reality is it's not about just speech. if you look at the indictment it's about conduct. the realities are, not only does free speech not protect criminal activity, but it's not only an indictment that alleges that you were speaking, and therefore you're guilty. you were acting. it speaks to the issue of so many things, whether it's election in terms of the georgia case, looking at the actual voting, looking at fake electors, looking at making suggestions with respect to how the election was subverted and trying to lie to the legislature, the speaker, et cetera, to have them have your view, and so my view of it is, is that it will not carry the day, the indictment will not be dismissed, victor, and the case will move forward. >> talk about these two losses for the former president, one as it relates to criminal charges, the other as it relates to civil charges, starting with the more recent in criminal, judge chutkan, presiding over the d.c. case, the federal case election subversion, she says that former president trump does not enjoy absolute immunity when it comes to criminal charges, writing this, trump's four-year service has commander in chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens. was this the expected ruling from her and the significance here? >> yeah, i think on those two things, number one, it was expected. number two, it's largely significant because of the precedent that it sets. if you evaluate the 48-page ruling boy did she go through chapter and verse in terms of american history and in doing so made very clear that the -- there's a distinction between a system of government wherein you elect a king, and a system of government where you have a person who is elected president who certainly, powerful position, very important with respect to what they do for our democracy, but there are limitations to what you can do, and that there is nothing in the constitution that grants the broad immunity of allowing the president to do as they wish, when they wish, how they wish, particularly violating federal law and saying hey, there's nothing to see here, let's leave that to the impeachment clause and if they're not impeached then you know what, they have broad sweeping immunity for criminal activity. the judge said not at all and engage in a sweeping rebuke of anything that would be near criminal immunity for any president. and so i think it was largely a rendition of what the constitution says. i think it's pretty solid on the law. it will certainly be appealed. but i think that the elements of her reasoning are very sound with respect to a president being like everyone else in the commission of alleged crimes. >> reminiscent of the presidents are not kings from sometime ago. the civil decision now, federal appeals court determined that the civil cases can go on, can go ahead against the former president related to his january 6th activities being sued by capitol police, by members of congress. how tough will it be to prove these cases, because this does not mean that they win those cases, it's just that they can proceed. >> yeah, victor, that's a very good point, i mean, number one, though, that was a ruling that, you know, i think could have gone either way. i think in that ruling, the court suggested that, listen, yes, there's immunity for civil -- i'd say prosecution, it's not a crime, but with regard to moving forward the case, and civil aspects, the court ruling, as it relates to civil cases there's immunity, right, in terms of monetary damages, however only as to your official acts. this was not an official act. and so therefore, that the court noted that, yes, you can move forward in suing the president, in terms of the difficulty as you mentioned, victor, they didn't reach, that is the court, whether or not the president on the merits should be held accountable civilly, only that you can try to hold them accountable and like any other case it's a question of proof. what were the president's activities on that day, how involved and engaged was he, what specifically did he do, what led up to this, was there a connection, and was that connection causal to the injuries that were sustained and occurred, and i think if based upon all that we've seen, the plaintiffs can prove that, i think that, you know what, the president not only will be not immune from civil liability, but will, in fact, endure civil liability, and that is he will lose those cases. >> a lot of developments over the last 24 hours, joey jackson, good to have you, thank you. up next, lawmakers voted george santos out of congress. how it all played out, and what people in his former district have to say. that's next. it is over to hell with this place, that was george santos's own words for his short lived congressional career after it died on the house floor. santos became just the sixth person ever expelled from congress friday. cnn's miguel morearquez reports how his former constituents feel about it. >> ex-congressman george santos leaving congress. intense to the very end. moments before his chaotic exit cnn capitol hill reporter annie grayer spoke to santos as he watched the vote turn against him and his congressional career come to an abrupt end. >> i tell her, but what reaction, the house vote, that's their vote, sure, they just -- set a new dangerous precedent for themselves. why would i want to stay here, the hell with this place. >> reporter: the gop house speaker mike johnson and the entire republican house leadership voted to keep him in power. but, in his long island, new york district, relief. >> george santos has been expelled today, what was your reaction to that? >> that was my reaction. >> we made it here. >> reporter: the allegations snowballing since he was elected in 2022, santos's resume and life story came under glaring scrutiny. claims he was jewish, that his mother was in the twin towers during the 9/11 terror attack, where he went to school, what sports he played, that he worked in finance for well-known banks and that his grandparents fled the holocaust. all of it lies. >> my ancestors perished in the holocaust, he did a horrible thing by lying about that. >> reporter: in addition, the house ethics meeting found santos spent thousands of donor dollars on personal expenses, shopping at high end stores, paying for rent, for botox treatments and subscribing to the largely pornographic website only fans. santos wearing fe ragamo shoes when he left federal court in october after pleading not guilty to new charges, totaling 23 counts of fraud in money laundering. today he departed the capitol in a jaguar suv. >> i can't say i'm happy because it's sad that it's come to this, but i'm glad they -- i think congress made the right decision. >> reporter: robert zimmerman lost to george santos in 2022. >> this is not a time of celebration for me, it's a time of reflection about how we move forward. there are a lot of lessons to be learned. >> reporter: for those who voted for santos, and even some who didn't, they fear congress has gone too far. >> shocked, because to me the republicans caved. they -- you know, they even hurt themselves. we're expelling him before he has his -- a chance to have a jury of his peers decide whether his conduct was criminal. >> reporter: miguel marquez, cnn, great neck, new york. >> changed the locks on the office. miguel, thank you. let's bring in now cnn political commentator and political anchor errol lewis. robert zimmerman said there's lots of lessons to be learned, not just the constituent but for us, the media, what are the lessons for his party and congress as well? >> well, good morning, victor. i think one of the lessons is, background checks matter. so-called vetting really matters. you can't take at face value if someone says they graduated from a particular college take the couple of minutes and put out an inquiry, that was one of the many lies told by george santos made along the way, make sure they work where they said they worked. if you can stop this on the front side that's an important lesson for all of us. the other is, you know, this is -- and this is new for me, you and i have interviewed hundreds of politicians over the years, victor, but i don't think i've ever encountered someone like this who right up until the end, i mean think about this, right up until the end he could have raised his hand, even yesterday, and said i hereby resign effective immediately and put an end to the whole thing and he just wouldn't do it. that's a new one for me but we should keep in mind that it is, in fact, possible to find somebody who is for whatever psychological reason unwilling to do the simplest, most reasonable thing that would benefit himself, his neighbors, his community, and in this case congress. >> yeah, new for me too. in new york, you're there in new york, he's new york's third, the concern from some republican, if not parallel, certainly a close second concern was what his expulsion would mean for their slim majority, now a three-vote margin for republicans. and in this district that biden won in 2020, i guess eight points over former president trump, what this means for the ability to hold that seat. is that still as, i guess, likely as a democratic pick-up as it was at the start of this congress? >> honestly the talk here, victor, is that the local republicans wanted this to be a special election, and not just a regular election. so just as you say, in 2020, joe biden won this district, and he won it walking away, it was between eight and ten points. on the other hand, republicans did very, very welled in the midterms just last year. the thinking is that well, if it's a special election, perhaps without a prominent democrat on the ticket like joe biden, they might be able to hold onto the seat. they the republicans. as opposed to just a regular election next year, so i think that there's some talk here that they wanted it to go down this way, and not to have george santos hang around long enough to turn it into a regular election, because in that case, in this swing district, if biden is on the ballot, he has proven that he can -- a lot of democrats and that makes it much harder for republicans to hold onto the seat. >> next week the house will vote on whether to formalize, to authorize an impeachment inquiry against president biden, again, i said they've got now this three-vote margin, there are 18 republicans in those districts that biden won in 2020. beyond the numbers, three and 18, and the people trying to preserve their seats in congress, what more do we need to know about this potential vote, and what do you expect we're going to see? >> what you said is the most important consideration. there are people in other kinds of districts, however, and this is going to be i think what the question on the floor is ultimately politically speaking is will people who simply want to go on the attack against president biden do it without any regard for their colleagues or in swing districts or in trickier situations who might not want this largely symbolic effort to go forward? because they don't really have any evidence. there's not going to be much substantively there at all. this is just a political gesture. the hardliners who seem to want to protect themselves in a primary, make donald trump happy, get on fox news or whatever other objectives they're pursuing, you know, they're fund-raising as well, they may just force this through, just to do it, and it could cost them the majority, but for some of these candidates, for some of these hardliners, clearly they just don't care. >> errol lewis, always good to start a saturday morning with you, sir. frigid overnight temps up north are leaving some migrants more vulnerable than ever. up next, we're going to take a look at what's being done to protect those with nowhere to call home. but first, have you heard about chowchilla, the all new cnn film tells one of the most shocking true crime stories you've never heard about the 1976 kidnapping of a school bus full of children and their driver who were then buried underground for more than 12 hours before orchestrating their own dramatic escape, that incident captivated the nation at the time and became a turning point in our understanding and treatment of childhood trauma. here's a preview. chowchilla was a wonderful place to grow up. >> they were little innocent children. >> never did i think that something like this could happen. >> how does a school bus show up missing? >> i did not want to go down there. >> it was like somebody just took them up off the planet. >> was it a thrill crime? >> your guess is as good as mine. >> it was a mystery, you had no answers. >> they recovered a journal encrypted in unusual writing, never seen anything like that. >> the kidnappers hit this town right in its heart by taking those children. >> all the way through they thought that they had thought of everything. >> they were being buried alive and i thought to myself, we're going to die, we're going to die getting the hell out of here. >> when we got home i thought life would be okay. >> the kids were not okay. >> god forgive them, because i won't. >> it was possibly the story of the century. >> chowchilla, tomorrow at 9:00 on cnn. respiratory illness is up in the u.s., especially in children, the cdc says that that is due to an increase in three viruses, covid-19, the flu, and rsv. according to november doata mor than 10% of doctor visits among children younger than 5 were for flu-like illness, three times high than the national average for all ages. >> hospital admission rates, up 69% since the start of october. turning to weather now, the pacific northwest is bracing for a wave of rain and know this weekend with millions under winter weather alerts and storms expected in the south as well. >> well, other parts of the country have more than enough. new york city has actually gone 650 days, yeah you heard that, 650 without an inch of snow, and that is a regard. allison chinchar is tracking it all for us. too much snow in the west, not enough in the east, what's the deal? >> it's incredible, and new york is not the only one, as we mentioned 650 consecutive days of not having at least an inch of snowfall, last time they had that, february 13th of 2022, but they're not alone. baltimore, philadelphia, even washington, d.c., all of these areas looking at over 600 days without snow, and those numbers are likely to go up because there's no snow in the forecast for at least the next five to seven days. however, this is plenty of snow. probably too much snow for some out in the west, all of these areas, eight states under some type of winter weather alert, and that's because we have a series of storms that are all because of an atmospheric river that's going to funnel a lot of moisture into the pacific northwest. you can see here, level 3 and level 4. when you talk about atmospheric rivers of level one and two, it's mostly beneficial, they like to have that. it crosses into more hazardous than it is beneficial, and unfortunately that's what we're going to get because of the sheer volume of precipitation. notice along the coastal areas you're talking widespread, four to seven inches of rain into the mountains, it's going to be measured in feet, likely one to three feet of snow, and it's because it's multiple days of these events that will be coming through midweek next week. >> 656 days without an inch of snow, incredible. allison chinchar, thank you. temperatures in parts of northern united states are just above freezing, but that is not stopping texas governor greg abbott from sending thousands of migrants to northern cities. >> what are officials there doing to prepare? whitney wild has some answers. >> reporter: as temperatures dipped into the low teens with windchills of around zero this week, many migrants living on the street found chicago's unfamiliar climate unforgiving. this man said he has been living in a tent, and now feels sick. lately i've been having pain in my chest, he says, and i need medicine to help me with a fever. >> 99.1. >> reporter: with help from a translator amanda offers care to migrants needing placement. >> we're seeing upper respiratory infections, a lot of strep throat, and some pneumonia. >> reporter: more than 900 migrants are still living at police stations and airports down interest more than 3,000 earlier this fall. the pace of new arrivals has slowed but not stopped. we were there as a bus dropped off dozens of migrants at an already crowded police station. more than 23,000 migrants have arrived in chicago since august 2022, much of the influx driven by texas governor greg abbott who says northern cities should take on more migrants to ease the strain at the border. >> we've never been in a situation like this, all of this is unprecedented. >> reporter: vazquez heads the -- on refugee rights. . what's your biggest fear. >> wintertime is most immediate. if we don't find decompression and other spaces to live in and get to work, it's really concerning. >> reporter: city officials are opening more shelters aphasing n a 60-day limit on stays, the city is partnering with more than a dozen faith groups to take migrants off the street. >> we cannot abandon families and asylum seekers and let them go through chicago's winter alone. >> reporter: now the state is funding a massive military grade tent in the brighton park neighborhood to house migrants despite fierce opposition from some res dens and questions about whether the area, a former industrial site, is safe. alderwoman ramirez represents the park. >> when we're thinking about the most vulnerable, residents of brighton park or asylum seekers they deserve to have a humane and dignified process to make sure they get shelter. >> whitney, thank you so much. it is championship weekend in college football, one spot in the national semifinals now appears to be locked up. and we're introducing the 2023 top ten cnn heroes. you can vote for your favorite as we're about a week away now from announcing the 2023 cnn hero of the year. the post-pandemic u.s. math and reading scores for all children fell to new lows, now black children have been particularly affected with only 17% of black fourth graders reading proficiently. and for black boys, that number is even lower. alvin, a former first grade teacher, is tackling that crisis. >> what's up, man, how you doing? we install a child friendly reading space in the barbershop. we literally ask little black boys what do you like to read? and then those are the books that we distribute to our national network of barbers. use the opportunity when they're sitting in the chair to just even talk to them about books. many black boys are raised by single mothers. so there's this opportunity to support barbers in becoming -- >> how is the book going so far? >> black male reading role models. >> i'm just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that is really life-changing. that's what i really believe reading is, it unlocks potential. >> good work, alvin, remember, you can vote for any or all of them up to ten times per day every day. you only have a few more days. voting ends december 5th. the washington huskies, clinch a berth in college football's playoff. >> clinching at berth, yes. >> you know what that means. >> andy scholes is with us now. it's a bittersweet moment. >> it is, guys, this is the last year for the pac-12, a conference that's been around for more than a hundred years, so many people sad to see it go. they couldn't have asked for a better final football game, third ranked washington, taking on fifth ranked oregon, two heisman hopefuls squaring off in quarterbacks michael -- and bo nix. jalen mcmillen, touchdown, huskies jumped out to 20-3 lead in this game but the ducks would rally back. bo nix, hitting terrance ferguson, in for the score, oregon scored 21 unanswered points so they took the lead and it was the huskies with back to back touchdowns, quentin moore here, washington, back up by 10, the ducks would not go away in this game on the next drive-in ix going to find tray schon holden, this was his only catch of the game, but watch him weave through all the defenders, break some tackles, 63 yard touchdown there, so that made it 34-31. ducks needed a stop, and they couldn't get it. huskies able to run out the clock thanks to dylan johnson, he rushed for 152 yards, two scores, washington finishes off that perfect 13-0 season, securing a playoff birth for the first time since 2017. >> the brotherhood is so strong here, all they talked about before the game, halftime, you know, just wanting to showcase what we've dealt with, how hard they play for each other. >> so the huskies on to the playoffs and shout out to liberty, their fans storming the field after the flames capped off their own perfect 13-0 season beating new mexico state in the conference championship, liberty number 24 in the ranks, not going to make a playoff, a chance to grab a spot in the new year's bowl game, a huge accomplishment. day always one of the best in all of sports championship saturday, will we get some drama, the big matchup is here in atlanta, top ranked georgia hosting eighth ranked alabama, texas and oklahoma state going to get started 12:00 eastern in the big 12 title game. can florida state remain undefeated. taking on louisville tonight in the acc title game. the four playoff teams in all the bowls getting announced tomorrow at noon. finally, we have tiger woods out there again for the second round of the heroes world challenge in the bahamas. like round one, tiger started off hot, 4 under through first seven holes on friday, he did have some rough holes on the back nine, but a great birdie putt here on 17, woods 2 under for the day, he's now 1 over for the tournament. >> overall the round was better for sure, the start was better, the middle part of the round was better. i missed a couple putts there, and towards the end i would have -- i thought would have kept the round going. hadn't played in six months. so i -- things are not as sharp as they normally would be, hey, i -- it certainly is -- there's some good in there and just got to make sure that the good is more consistent than it has been. >> yeah, definitely good to see tiger woods out there playing. here's hoping he stays healthy and is able to compete in the masters come april. >> excellent. >> he's a go for a reason. >> andy, thank you. still to come, a mass advertising exodus, the list of major companies distancing themselves from "x," and elon musk, that is growing by the day following musk's public embrace of an anti-semitic conspiracy theory. stick around. in order for small businesses to thrive, they need to be smart, efficient, savvy. making the most of every opportunity. that's why comcast business is introducing the small business bonus. for a limited time you can get up to a $1000 prepaid card with qualifying internet. yep, $1000. so switch to business internet from the company with the largest fastest reliable network and that powers more businesses than anyone else. learn how you can get $1000 back for your business today. comcast business. powering possibilities.
