pathetic joke it is. >> the pepper master in chief donald trump has directed the sycophants to target joe biden as part of an effort to undermine president biden's re-election. >> good morning, everyone. i'm phil mattingly in new york. erica hill joins me. poppy is off today. republicans in the house are focusing on impeachment unanimously launching a formal impeachment inquiry into president biden despite many acknowledging there is no proof of high crimes and misdemeanors. and donald trump, a judge temporarily pausing that 2020 election interference case. how long could the delay last and what could it mean for the 2024 election. and inside gaza. reporting independently from the war zone. what our clarissa ward saw with her own eyes. this hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now. we begin this hour with a cnn exclusive. u.s. intel says nearly half of the 29,000 bombs dropped on gaza have been so-called dumb bombs. they are not precisions guided and posing a greater risk to civilians. president biden said israel had been engaging in, quote, indiscriminate bombing. today biden's national security advisor is heading to israel, having extremely serious conversations with top israeli officials about reducing the harm to civilians. >> this morning cnn is going inside gaza. we will show you a firsthand look at the humanitarian catastrophe, the dire living conditions for hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in that area. clarissa ward joining us now. what were you able to see? what did you find? >> reporter: so, erica, we have been trying for many, many weeks now to try to get into gaza. it has been impossible for us up until tuesday. we were able to travel inside with some medical volunteers who are working at a newly established, newly built field hospital that has been set up by the united arab emirates in the southern part of gaza. as you know, the southern part of gaza is now very much the focus of israel's military operations. that is exacerbating an already dire humanitarian catastrophe, and leading to record numbers of civilian casualties as we saw for ourselves. you don't have to search for tragedy in gaza. it finds you on every street, strewn with trash and stagnant water, desolate and foreboding. >> we have just crossed the bo border into southern gaza. this is the first time we have actually been able to get into gaza since october 7th, and we are now driving to a field hospital that has been set up by the uae. up until now, israel and egypt have made access for international journalists next to impossible. and you can see why. since october 7th the israeli military says it has hit gaza with more than 22,000 strikes. that, by far, surpasses anything we've seen in modern warfare in terms of intensity and voracity, and we've really honestly are just getting a glimpse of it here. despite israel's heavy bombardment, there are people out on streets. a crowd outside a bakery. where else can they go? nowhere is safe in gaza. >> used to be a stadium. >> reporter: arriving at the field hospital, we meet a doctor. no sooner does our tour begin when -- >> ambulance! >> reporter: and this is what you hear all the time now? >> yes. at least 20 times a day. >> reporter: at least 20 times a day? >> maybe more sometimes. i think we have got used to it. >> reporter: one thing none of the doctors here have gotten used to it is the number of children they are treating. the u.n. estimates that some two-thirds of those killed in this round of the conflict have been women and children. 8-year-old jenan survived a strike on her family home that crushed her femur but spared her immediate family. >> she says she is not in pain, so that's good. >> reporter: her mother was out when it happened. i went to the hospital to look for her, she says. and i came here and i found her here. the doctors told me what happened with her and i made sure that she's okay. thank god. they bombed the house in front of us and then our home, she tells us. i was sitting next to my grandfather. and my grandfather held me. and my uncle was fine. so he is the one who took us out. >> don't cry. >> reporter: but the doctor says it is hard not to. >> i work with all the people. something touching you? >> reporter: touches your heart and tests your faith in humanity. as we leave jenan, the doctor comes back with the news of casualties arriving from the strike just ten minutes earlier. >> two applications. young male from just the -- >> reporter: from the bomb we just heard? >> yes. this is my understanding. they will arrive. >> reporter: a man and a 13-year-old boy are wheeled in. both missing limbs. both in a perilous state. what's your name? what's your name, the doctor asks. the notes provided by the paramedics are smeared with blood. the tourniquet improvised with a bandage. since the field hospital opened less than two weeks ago, it has been inundated with patients. 130 of their 150 beds are already full. so let me understand this. you are not basically the only hospital around that still has some beds? >> i guess so, yes. or maybe i am very sure of that because they are telling me one of the hospitals in the city of 200, they are accommodating 1,000 right now. and then the next door hospital i am not sure, they say 5,200, 400, 500 patients. so he called me, he said they have three patients in each bed. please take in any. send as ep many as you can. >> reporter: we have been here 15 minutes and this is already what we're seeing. >> you hear it, you see it. >> reporter: in every bed, another gut punch. less than two years old, amir doesn't know that his parents and siblings were killed from the strike that disfigured him. yesterday he saw a nurse that looked like his father. his aunt tells us, he kept screaming, dad, dad, dad! he is still too young to comprehend the horror all around him. but 20-year-old lama understands it all too well. ten weeks ago she was studying engineering at university and helping to plan her sister's wedding. today she is recovering from the amputation of her right leg. her family followed israeli military orders and fled from the north to the south, but the house where they were seeking shelter was hit in a strike. the world isn't listening to us, she says. nobody cares about us. we have been dying for over 60 days. dying from the bombing, and nobody did anything. words of condemnation delivered in a thin rasp. but does anyone hear them? like grazi, aleppo, mariupol, gaza will go down as one of the great horrors of modern warfare. it's getting dark. time for us to leave. a privilege a vast majority of gazans do not have. our brief glimpse from a window on to hell is sending as a new chapter in this ugly conflict unfolds. now, the death toll in gaza as a result of israel's frenzied bombardment currently hofrs at roughly 18,000. if you do the map,s extrap extrapolating the u.n. saying two-thirds are roughly civilians, that is about 11,800 civilians who have been killed in just over two months. and to give you a comparison, in the first year of the u.s. invasion of iraq in 2003, according to an independent research organization, some 7,700 civilians were killed by u.s. forces. in 20 years, in afghanistan, according to independent research groups, some 12,000 civilians were killed. so in just two months, you're now approaching 12,000 civilians. that's the same amount who were killed in 20 years during the u.s.'s war in afghanistan. so this is truly staggering and unprecedented. phil, erica. >> clarissa, it's an extraordinarily piece because you are taking us in and to the personal stories. difficult to come by because of the conflict and the type of conflict this has been. your reference in the piece to grauz any, aleppo, mariupol. you have covered so many conflict zones, some of the worst conflicts in the last several decades if not longer. how would you compare this to this? >> reporter: it's difficult to compare conflicts. but i would just say it is so striking that the people of gaza have nowhere they can go. have nowhere that is safe. they are literally being told to move from the north, as the north gets bombed they move to the south, then the south gets bombed. now they are expected to move to a different area in central gaza. it's not easy to move around right now in gaza. we saw almost no cars on the streets. people do not have fuel. people are afraid to try to make road runs because of the risk that that incurs. so, of course you are seeing horrific impact not just in terms of the civilian casualties that we talked about, but in terms of the humanitarian crisis. you're talking about malnutrition. you are talking about the spread of preventible diseases. we talked to the doctors who said that they are treating cases of sepsis and patients are nearly dying where these should be straightforward operations that can't be performed. they describe one incident where a man had worms in a wound on his head because there is such a lack of sanitary -- any sanitary environment in which to perform surgeries or operations. so this is a crisis of epic proportions and the fact that humanitarian aid workers do not have the access that they need just makes it all the more staggering. one extra point that i really need to make sheer, phil, because i think it's important. this was our first time being able to gain access into gaza. but the journalists in gaza have been doing heroic, extraordinary work day in, day out at enormous risk. they have paid such a high price for that. this is the deadliest conflict for journalists that we have seen in decades. more than 60 journalists in gaza alone have been killed in the last two and a half months that. is according to the committee to protect journalists. so you have a perfect storm here with massive bombardment, an inability to create safe zones, inability to get humanitarian access where it's needed, and incredibly brave journalists doing everything they can to tell the stories and bring the reality to the world, but the frustration of international journalists who can't get in to try to compliment and supplement their efforts. >> it is lremarkableable. s i was struck by in that field hospital so much of what we talked about what is need in terms of medical supplies as you pointed out and what that can mean, but also the electricity. there was so much talk about fuel needed to run generators at hospital. that field hospital that you were at, how was it able to operate and to run some of those machines and is it at risk? >> reporter: so, erica, because that field hospital is operated by the emirates and because the emirates have a normalized relationship with israel, they are able to get supplies in, get fuel in in a way that the vast majority of hospitals in gaza are not. and even they face very real challenges, endless bureaucracy, onerous waits at the border trying to get the supplies in. what the doctor said is when the gazan hospitals are referring their patients to the field hospital, they are coming in in a very bad state of shape. they don't have proper tourniquets which are crucial in terms of stopping the bleeding:they don't have proper painkillers. they need to give vast doses of painkillers in people in extraordinary amounts of excruciating pain because the hospital also had ration whatever minimal supplies they have. also this field hospital is very close tohat border with egypt. and so really they are not a microcosm and should not give you a reflection or an idea of what most gaza hospitals look like. they are a sort of island and that is why they are getting so many referrals from the other hospitals that are teetering on the brink of collapse. in fact, many of them just have shrimply collapsed and are, therefore, trying to refer patients to this field hospital as possible to get them some modicum of decent care. >> all right. i will continue to be struck by the line, no one's listening. it seems like every patient wanted to say or was saying to you. clarissa ward, it's remarkable work. to your point, there are dozens of journalists on the ground that have lost their lives covering this, dozens still there covering it every day, lost family members, and your work supplementing that and adding to it is incredibly important and we appreciate your time as always. thank you. the biden administration staffers calling for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. holding a vigil outside the white house. the impact of this growing rift between israel and the united states. and russian president vladimir putin holding his first end of the year news conference since the ukraine invasion. what he just said about detained "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich. we stand b house tonight on the seventh night of hanukkah and as we get ready to celebrate christmas and the winter holidays with our loved ones to make clear that we cannot stay silent about the atrocities that are continuing in gaza. over 800 of us have signed a letter to the president, vice president, and cabinet members demanding a ceasefire and de-escalation. >> current and former biden administration staffers are holding a vigil in front. white house last night as you heard there urging the president to support a permanent ceasefire in gaza. josh paul, who resigned from the state department in october, because he disagreed with the administration's approach to the war, was one of the few protesters who actually showed his face. >> i think there is just a blindness to the suffering of the palestinian people on a daily basis thanks to the bombardment that we are facilitating. the bombs we are providing. arms provided by the people standing in building behind us. i think we should be deeply concerned about it. >> that coming as the growing dispute between the private dispute between president biden and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. biden warning that israel was losing international support for the campaign against hamas. also told donors in washington that netanyahu foods to rethink his hard line and government's hard-line approach. joining us the president of the eurasia group and g zero media, the leverage the united states has if they want to use with israel and the relationship is significant it would seem? >> the u.s. is israel's one stalwart, friend on the global stage. you have seen that play out not just in terms of the military support, but also in the vetoes at the security council when everybody else that matters on the global stage is saying no, we want an extended humanitarian pause, we want a ceasefire. by the way, at the same time we also want all of the hostages to be released. so it's not like they are only calling on the israelis to take action, but the americans have not done that. they have given the israeli government room to run in going after and destroying hamas for months now. they have been told in return we've learned lessons. we went too hard. we were too indiscriminate in our bombings in the north. netanyahu saying that directly to the biden administration. but that has not led to a significant shift in strategy on the ground, nor significant reduction of palestinian civilian casualties. so increasingly you are seeing members of the biden administration and now biden himself coming out more publicly and saying you guys really have to start changing tack. >> so we have jake sullivan in israel. we were talking in the break, the question then is, with jake sullivan there today, what du he actually say? >> i think he says that this is going to become more uncomfortable for you, sir, publicly if you -- it's not just going to be our friends -- >> i mean, how does it become more uncomfortable and at one point is that discomfort so much that there is some sort of a change? >> well, the potential for permanent damage to the u.s./israel relationship given opposition on the ground, the feelings of the american people, especially young people, that is real and israel is -- netanyahu may not care because he is facing an ouster and potential jail time. that's part of the problem. it's not just netanyahu. it is a unity war cabinet. and biden needs to be clear that while he is the best friend of the israeli people, he is not the best friend of netanyahu. and you'll remember back in 2015 when the jcpoa, the nuclear deal was being pushed by obama and biden. netanyahu came to congress and tried to torpedo it, undermining the u.s. president. the u.s. president is treating netanyahu with much more respect than he would have ever treated an american president. the u.s. writes the checks, the far more powerful country. i think, for example, biden giving an interview directly to the jerusalem post , splashed al over the front covers that netanyahu wakes up to and saying here is what we find unacceptable about what your prime minister has done and is doing. the israeli people have no support for this guy. why are the americans providing cover for him? that is so far only criticizing him privately. that can change. and i am certain that jake is delivering that message. >> do the israeli people, whether they have support, netanyahu or not, how they feel about him and his government leading up to this moment has become very clear in the -- what you see in terms of the interactions that happened in public p but the effort itself in the wake of october 7th and the horrors of october 7th basically saying what do you want us to do here? we have to get rid of hamas. they agree with him on that. >> yes, they could. and if you think about the people that were killed on october 7th it wasn't like israeli settlers hard right-wing. these are the most progressive israelis out there. there is a very strong view among the israeli people that, number one, no one on the global stage really cares for them, even after the most unspeakable violence against the jews. some they have to keep going. that's very different from the way that they engage in the war fighting. that's also very different, too, you know, the fact that there isn't an urgency of timing here. israel is vastly more powerful than hamas. vastly more powerful than hezbollah, than militarily, right, than their enemies in the region. so their ability to -- i mean, they could come out and say let all of the hostages go and we can talk about a ceasefire. they have been unwilling do that, even though the hostages are not about to all be freed. why not take that position? why not have more international support? in the early days of the terrorist attacks, macron came to israel and said we are with you. we see this as a fight just as it was against isis, against al qaeda, we will join you in the fight. multilateralism like with nato friends after the invasion of ukraine, because netanyahu has been driving this by himself and feels like he can get away with it. that is a problem, right? and ultimately that's where the biden administration is getting itself in trouble. the u.s. is increasingly divisive challenges on the ground at home sthan the russians when they invaded ukraine a couple years ago. that's an extraordinary thing to say for our top ally in the middle east. >> right. appreciate it. thank you. a judge pauses donald trump's federal election subversion case. and house republicans launch ang impeachment inquiry into president biden. a key thing, though, not clear. the evidence that he committed high crimes and misdemeanors. our next guest testified at the impeachment hearingsgs of ththr difffferent presesidents is s a. formalize an impeachment inquiry into president biden. they hope it strength ins their oversight powers as they investigate the alleged foreign business dealings even though it's failed to uncover wrongdoing by the president which some members have actually acknowledged. >> do you have proof that joe biden acted krumtly to help his son? >> the impeachment inquiry is not about proof. >> i don't know that you will see a high crime fraud exception. >> how close are you to being ready to support impeachment, actual impeachment of the president? >> we are not there. >> the vote unfolded hours after the president's son hunter biden defied the subpoena for a closed-door testimony after he demanded to testify publicly. here is how the spokesman for at white house council's office responded in our last hour. >> they are just making up lies to attack the president in a relentless smear campaign that has been going on for four straight years now. we went through an impeachment in the last administration over these same made-up allegations and republicans in the house are just rewinding the tape and running it again to try to score political points against the president instead of doing their actual jobs for the american people. >> joining us is michael geer heart, a professor at the university of north carolina's law school. he testified at the first biden impeachment hearing and the impeachment hearings for presidents clinton and trump. his upcoming book the law of presidential impeachment is out next month. appreciate your time. start with the idea that an impeachment inquiry is not about evidence or launching an impeachment inquiry is not about evidence. this is what we have heard from some republicans. in historical context, is that true? >> generally speaking, it's not true. impeachment inquiries have historically followed investigations which are found credible evidence of presidential wrongdoing. based on that evidence, then the house proceeds to initiate an impeachment inquiry of the president. that's what happened with richard nixon. it happened with bill clinton and it happened with donald trump. >> you heard a lot of republicans say we need this to be able to have our compulsory powers kind of expanded, particularly in courts. is that an accurate frame in terms of the power that this conveys upon them? >> it is in part. i think using the impeachment power as the basis for any further inquiries does in a sense expand, reinforce, enhance the house's power, but we should also keep in mind there is a 2020 supreme court decision in case called trump versus -- which said that it's an illegitimate purpose for the house, even using impeachment power, to try to do law enforcement on the one hand, and also to conduct a fishing expedition. and right now based on the comments that you just-ha share from some republican house members they don't think there is evidence yet. so they want the inquiry as basically a fishing expedition to help them find whatever it is they are looking for. >> i think that brings up the question that i have had the last several months, especially having covered both trump impeachments. the threshold. has impeachment moved to do a purely political exercise and if that's the case, why? >> that's a great question. in fact, i think that's the key question. i think part of this impeachment effort against joe biden began back in 2019. even before he was a presidential candidate. well before he was president. and i think there was a threat made even back then that next time a democrat's up, the republicans in the house will impeach that person. and i think what we can infer from what is happening is that there is an effort to gut impeachment of any seriousness, turn it into exactly what you just said. just another political weapon. that's not what impeachment is supposed to be about. it's a rarely used process to address verifiable presidential misconduct. >> yeah, eights remarkable moment. the book is the law of presidential impeachment, out next month. appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy dishing out a litany of conspiracy theories at last night's cnn town hall. abby phillip is like on what surprised her the most. >> access to the abortion pill in the hands of the supreme court. we will discuss the real world impact a and politicical ramimifications s ahead. if you told me that january 6th was an inside job the subject of government entrapment, i waf told you that was crazy talk. fringe conspiracy theory nonsense. i could tell you having gone deep in this, it's not. >> republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy there doubling down on his conspiratorial views when d comes to january 6th. of course, that was during the iowa town hall last night on cnn. important to note he didn't stop there. joining us the person who has been tasked with fact-checking ramaswamy in real time which is no small feat given the number of conspiracy theories out there, abby phillips is live in des moines, iowa, this morning. great work asles always, my friend, was there anything last night that did, though, surprise you? i know how you prepare for this moment. was there anything that came out that was surprising? >> look, i mean, first of all, good morning, guys. but erica, it is not a surprise that this is how that january 6th exchange went. he described it as a fringe conspiracy because hthat is wha it is, it's a conspiracy, and you knew that he would come into it defending it. one of the things we wanted to point out to him that led to that exchange was one of the defendants who is going to serve 11 years in prison cited his use of this conspiracy on the debate stage last week. i wanted to know how he responded to that. so i think folks who watched it last night would have seen, you know, pretty combative exchange in part because i think that, obviously, on the right right now, you heard it from the crowd, there is a lot of openness if not support for this idea of january 6th. but that aside, i think one thing that i thought was interesting in all the other parts of the town hall, this is iowa. this is a very conservative state. this a state with a lot of incredibly religious people where the evangelical right is a huge part of it and he got a question from the audience last night about his faith. he is the only candidate in the race who is not a christian. he is hindu. his family came from india. and he was asked about how, you know, his faith would play a role in his candidacy and presidency. ramaswamy was, obviously, armed with an answer. some of the people in the audience were surprised by how well slerversed he was in bibli language. he went to a christian school growing up. i think there was some interesting appreciation for that approach from him. it gives you a window into how a candidate like him is trying to make inroads in the state, predominantly white, very conservative, very christian, not normally amenable to a brown, indian man. but he is trying to get at that in other ways as well. >> yeah. it's funny you point that out. several people who watched last night pointed to that moment and that exchange as one of the most fascinating of what was a very, very good back and forth throughout the evening. could we take a step back, because you are on the ground. i will take your field reporter opportunity to get your sense of what's happening right now. abortion. you asked vivek ramaswamy about it last night. you're in iowa. this is a huge issue. big picture-wise, especially with what the supreme court is doing on mifepristone, how much do you think this issue overtakes others when it's all said and done? >> reporter: i think that there is a difference between what will happen here in iowa ain a republican primary and what happens in the rest of the country. and actually it's for that reason, you know, when i asked ramaswamy about whether he thinks the supreme court should ban mifepristone at a national level, to be honest, the answer was not straightforward. he wanted to take this to the administrative side of things. he says this is about the role of the federal government in regulating drugs. he did not want to make this about abortion per se. i pressed to be clear for the audience. do you think that the abortion pill should be banned? and he said, i think the supreme court will do the right thing. so, look, to me that says that even in this state, which is very conservative, most people in that audience probably oppose abortion, this is still not something that republican candidates want to be talking about explicitly. they have to talk about it. their base cares about it. but many of the candidates right now are trying to find this sort of compassionate conservative viewpoint that will give them flexibility if they make it to a general election given that in all these red states that have put referendums out to the public about what they should do about abortion, they have defended abortion rights even in red states. and i think that is really being felt when you hear the candidates and on the ground. >> yeah. such a great observation. so true. they are clearly hearing what the voters have said and they are looking ahead to see that. abby, great work as always. appreciate. catch abby tonight 10:00 on cnn news night with abby phillips. privilege, race, equality, they are at the center of season 2 of hbo's the gilded age. the stars of the hit show here in studio next. new york is where society puts itself on display. the leaders meet each other and their children court each other. the old guard think they can keep out the new people with impunity but nothing stays the same forever. age" is in the second season and tells the story of new york city's high society in the 1800s. here's a look at the new season. >> new york is where the leaders put each other on display. the old guard think they can keep out the new people with impunity but nothing stays the same forever. >> i don't just want a husband. >> he's rich, he's even handsome. >> what more can a girl ask for. >> it's a great show in the middle of the second season, joining us are the cast of "the gilded age". guys, thanks so much for joining us. i want to get to the show in a second. you seem to actually like one another quite a bit. is that a fair assessment? >> what's not to like? >> that's right. >> we really love each other. >> some theatre kids that's why we get along. >> it does feel like theatre camp. >> how do you think the theatre kid, the broadway experience, your resumes are remarkable. >> anybody who worked on the stage for a while eventually you do a corset play night after night, and you know this is my world, this is how i speak, carry myself and i think a lot of us have real theatre training and chops. >> a sense of ensemble. everybody is working about telling the story and not about standing out in a room. >> throwing the ball back and forth. >> you mentioned the costumes. >> um-hum. >> the aesthetic of fashion is not my specialty but you can't ignore the costumes how they come together and the set is unbelievable. but morgan, the characters as well. some are directly adaptations from real people. some are akin to people. how do you prep for that? knowing there's a historic parallel to who you're playing. >> the real analogy i was given initially was jay gould. i read about him. he's a fascinating character. a lot of these people, american myth you with pull yourself up by your bootstraps. these guys were that. these were tough, these were hard men. >> but such devoted family man too. >> yeah. he liked to tend his okrchids bt that duality of being ruthless in business but so tender in his domestic life. >> you are able to pull out issues that are still issues today and it's subtle. you realize it's all threaded in that time period. >> i think julian knows his audience. they want to be intertaned, they're coming for the costumes, the real housewives style disputes and able to enter the time period and bring in the factors bubbling under the surface. we're not dealing with the complexity of the economic disparity necessarily but people are tiptoeing into the worlds. so the awareness is there. >> to follow-up on that, he's really wonderful at using human stories that are quite personal to reveal and deal with bigger themes. >> and sonia warfield and erika dunbar were instrumental in creating the worlds that peggy moves there. we were able to collaborate with julian and just adding the textures so they don't feel like icing on the world but still get to be rooted in their own rich internal lives. so it was special to get to kind of alkamize what act this be. >> there's a wit cutting from peggy being in mortal danger to is the soup going to be delivered without spilling. and i think there's a temptation to see it as two separate story lines but when you go from one to the other, you say this is what privilege is, wealth is, it creates a world where the stakes are a absurd as opposed to life and death. >> it's a fascinating period but it's so like our own. it's a new class of peace in the middle east, then it was industrial revolution money, now it's tech money just bubbling up from seemingly from nowhere and challenging the status quo and so much disposable income, it's sort of a grotesque way, african americans striving for equality and immigrants facing prejudice and maybe competition that, as they saw it with african americans. and women trying to push the envelope. and trying to have the right to vote, much less -- or even have careers. >> it certainly is about the fear that certain people, certainly my character, feels about a world that is in danger of being lost forever. and her sense of values and her place in the world and her concern for her niece and her sense of anger that a whole societal structure is crumbling. she looks across the street and sees a trump tower, you know, she's thinking what is this? who are these people? they're not our people. they care more about money and showing off money. so it's about a world in transition. i think we're living in a world of transition now. >> some of you have been on massive hit hbo shows before. some of you have amazing resumes but this is the first hbo hit. does that transform the experience those who have talking to those who haven't? >> for me it's been so special. when i originally got cast in this, i didn't know how much like black audiences would feel seen or care about this show. and walking around brooklyn like i mostly get stopped by black women, and it's so special. they're like, oh my god, it's us. like it's really us. and it feels -- it's just more special than i expected it to be. that it just feels so claimed. >> i also get stopped by black women. they all recognize bertha. >> we do stand for bertha. [bleep] it needs to get done. >> the story is amazing, the casting, acting, appreciate you coming in. the season two finale airs this sunday at 9:00 p.m. on hbo and also available to stream on max. in another story of new york city elite, rudy giuliani set to take the stand today pushing back on claims that he should pay millions of dollars after defaming two georgia election workers. and futures looking up. we have a halflf hour to go bebe the e opening bellll, but stay d fofor that. right now, rudy giuliani is in court where he says he intends to take the stand in his defamation damages trial after days of emotional testimony from the two election workers who say their lives were ruined because of him. we're live outside the court with the very latest. >> after
