history. state of emergency. dangerous and life-threatening flooding in parts of the northeast. we are talking a month's worth of rain in just three hours in some places. we're following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news center. we start with the latest on capitol hill where the house is set to vote on a short-term spending bill that has little to no chance of passing. it means the government shutdown is likely to start fewer than 36 hours from now. as for the senate, the short-term solution both republicans and democrats have agreed to is also unlikely to get approved before midnight on saturday when the current funding runs out. now federal agencies across the board are getting ready for a work stoppage.

and for more than a million federal workers including our military men and women. for there not to be a halt in the work, just the paycheck. let's go to capitol hill for the latest. why is house speaker kevin mccarthy moving ahead with this stop-gap bill when it stands almost no chance of actually passing go? >> reporter: the reason why he is doing that is he needs to show that he has exhausted all of his options before he moves to a plan b, in this case, probably a plan c. what that plan is remains a mystery. even some of his own leadership team say they are in the dark after this likely failed vote on the house floor which will be voting on in a little bit from now. kevin mccarthy did make one thing clear earlier today. he is not willing, at least at this point, to cut a deal with democrats. >> it's easy to surrender. if you want to surrender, yeah. if you want to fate for the american public to secure our

borders and keep government open, how is that a problem? >> reporter: now, on the other side of the capitol, the senate is working on a bipartisan plan to fund the government. it does not include security provisions or spending cuts. it does include $6 billion for ukrainian and $6 billion for disaster relief. it had the support of chuck schumer, the democratic leader, and mitch mcconnell, the republican leader. even over there, they are running into problem. senator rand paul said he will slow down this bill as much as possible as long as it still has ukraine money in it which senate leaders said they're not willing to strip out. so the senate might not vote on their bill until sunday or monday which would put it past the deadline. so particularly for mccarthy, whether he will work with democrats, whether he will ignore the senate bill if it comes over, whether he will allow the government shutdown and what happens to his speakership is on the line, of

course. >> a lot of threats to remove him as speaker coming from hardliners. a government shutdown would mean more than 2 million active duty military service members and reservists would be forced to report for duty and not get paid for it. this includes about 50,000 members of the coast guard. their paychecks stop. their bills do not. service members and their families will be facing mounting rent, mortgage, childcare payments, grocery bills. we're joined now by jessica manfried, a spouse, a member of the coast guard. thank you to you and your family for your service. i'm sure this doesn't feel like a thank you. what you're dealing with right now as you watch this shutdown looming. >> no, it's incredibly frustrating. thank you for having me on to be able to shed light and give voice to our families. it feels like it was just yesterday that we went through this and here we are again. it's almost a form of ptsd. i've been hearing from families

for the last week and the anxiety is mounting. >> so how are families preparing for this? especially the ones who are young and haven't been through this before? >> well, i think it is incumbent upon us as seasoned spouses to walk them through it. i'm a self-weathered 2013 and 2019 shutdown. i'm getting the word out that we'll stand in the gap. in 2019 they gave $8.4 million to our families and in support of them with mortgage, rent, et cetera. i think the key thing to point out is even with supports like this, the second the funding the shut off, that means our donations, which are primarily allotments from our coasties will shut off. if the american people are looking for a way to help, the relief societies are a way to do that but that's not everything. it doesn't put food in the frig. it doesn't pay the daycare bill

or the gas. there are so many things that are a part of this. like wic is shutting off. i don't have the exact numbers but i know our junior families use wic heavily. >> you're talking about the women, infants and children program. they only have federal funding to go about a day or maybe two days after a shutdown begins. i think that's the thing that many americans don't realize. there's a lot of food insecurity in the military, even when there isn't a shutdown. >> absolutely. we were running a food pantry in new jersey when i was stationed at cape may, the home of the coast guard's boot camp long before we had a shutdown. that was smaller, obviously, but the need is still there. i am full-time, a therapist. i see a lot of our coast guard families here in my office as a therapist. we're a small community and i'm referring them to places like the united way or catholic charities. the need is always there.

inflation is high. it's hard. most americans tend to live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck. it will have significant impact. now it's the entire military. i have friends in every branch, friends that are customs and border patrol agents, air traffic controllers. it gets me a little choked up. i'm thinking about the food service workers and the sanitation workers. this is so widespread and the mental toll it will take is pretty significant. >> we should be clear, the coast guard falls under dhs. it doesn't fall under d.o.d. even though right now there's not a carveout for the military, so it's looking like all branches are going to be affected, it seems like the coast guard is constantly affected. you mentioned 2013, 2019, here we are again, 2023. what is your message to congress and who are you holding to

account for this? >> i think about my children, right? what is the advice that i give them when they go to school or they're out in the world and they have issues with people? i hone in on communication, conflict resolution. you don't have the opportunity to not come up with a solution. you can't walk away from it. and it sounds kind of silly to bring that message to our legislators but that's where i'm at. this isn't a game. we aren't pieces on a chess board. these are human lives that you're impacting by this political grandstanding. it doesn't take someone who is ivy-league educated to understand there are vast differences in the way we believe in things, the values we hold. you have to come together and run a country so figure it out. >> figure it out. >> jessica, it is great to hear from you. and hear from people who are

actually going to be affected so severely by this. we appreciate your time today. thank you. >> yes, thank you so much. >> boris? tributes are continuing to pour in for senator dianne feinstein. the california democrat has died at the age of 90. she was the longest serving female senator in history. also the first female mayor of san francisco. feinstein served in congress since 1992, and worked right until yesterday casting her final vote on the senate floor, voting on legislation to try to prevent a government shutdown. former congresswoman jane harmon actually met with feinstein just yesterday and today talked about that visit and the impact the senator had on those she met over the years. listen. >> i probably had the last meeting with her. late afternoon yesterday, i went to her home, her study.

we spent an hour together looking at old pictures and talking going the future. as we were leaving, her ho housekeeper took this beautiful picture. i want everyone to remember dianne feinstein like this. strong, i loved her. so. i'm so glad i got the last hug and kiss. >> we're joined now by maryland senator ben cardin. first and foremost, our could not dolenses for the loss of your friend and colleague. you served with her. i'm wondering what some of your fondest memories are of her? >> well, the senate is a family. we're grieving today. it's hard for us to imagine that dianne is gone. she was such a presence in the united states senate. i have so many memories with her. when i first came to the senate in 2007, i had the opportunity to serve on the judiciary committee. she was a mentor.

she wanted to understand my priorities. she wanted to understand a little bit about the concerns that i had. she was very instrumental in helping me form my views on how to set up the safeguards within the intelligence community. and she was very patient in trying to explain the needs. i was so impressed that she had a reputation, well deserved, being very strong, very tough, being very effective. but also a great communicator, working across party lines to get things done. we worked on many issues in which we were able to bridge the gap between democrats and republicans thanks to dianne feinstein's leadership. i think the only time we really disagreed was when the san francisco giants and the baltimore ravens were in the super bowl. the ravens won. other than that, it was a real, actually, san francisco 49ers. it was a real friendship and a

real loss. >> we noted some of her firsts. she was the first female senator from california. the first female mayor of san francisco. the longest serving senator in history. she broke a lot of glass ceilings. what do you think she'll be remembered most for? >> i think her passion on gun safety is going to be still motivating us today. i remember talking to her one-on-one about the tragedy in which she became mayor of san francisco. it stuck with her. and it was something that she could never quite get out of her mind. so i think she'll be known as a reasonable voice for gun safety legislation. i think she also will be known for her commitment to the proper relationship between our intelligence community and protecting citizens' rights. i think she will be known as a

strong believer and helping consumers in this country. the list goes on and on and on. she was so instrumental and so many bills moved through the united states senate. but i think she will best be known as a person who broke so many glass ceilings, who always was there, that was a great leader in the united states senate. one of the giants. one of the great things being in the united states senate, the people you get to serve with. and i served with people who will be known in our history books as some of the great senators of our time. dianne feinstein would be one of those. >> obviously, we're talking to you at a time of enormous gridlock on capitol hill as we face a potential shutdown. you noted the bipartisan nature of the condolences and messages of support that have been coming forward. i'm wondering what you think congress could learn from someone like dianne feinstein that garnered so much respect

from both sides of the aisle. even at times of enormous acrimony. >> well, quite frankly, what we need are more dianne feinsteins that recognize civility is the way to get things accomplished. i don't know a single member of the united states senate, i don't know of anyone who did not have the utmost respect for the manner in which dianne feinstein conducted herself. she listened, she was principled, and she was focused on bringing people together. that's what we need right now. this government shutdown is reckless, dangerous, and costly. i'm pleased in the senate we're able to move forward on a bipartisan bill that reflects the agreement reached by speaker mccarthy on the debt ceiling. that's not the case in the house of representatives. i would hope they would take a page out of dianne feinstein's book and sit down and listen to each other. speaker mccarthy, work with the

democrats. honor agreements. that's dianne feinstein and let's keep government open. >> while we have you, we have to ask about the news regarding senator box menendez. you temporarily replaced him after his indictment on federal bribery charges. more than two dozen of your fellow democrats have called on him to resign. you, though, have not. what's your message to the senator and your colleagues calling on him to step down? >> well, this is a tragic situation. i'm honored to be the chair of the foreign senate relations committee. but the manner it happened isn't what i wanted to see. it is a tragic situation that reflects on all of us. my focus is to be able to lead the senate foreign relations committee for our national security by investing in diplomacy and making sure we operate within our values. that's what i have to focus on.

senator menendez is entitled to his day in court. i think it is a situation that i hope we can resolve, but it's something that i have to focus on my responsibilities on the committee. >> so it sounds like you're not calling for his resignation. you want the legal process to play out? >> i will be expressing myself where i think it is needed. i've always expressed myself as to the seriousness of the charges. let me remind you, these charges did reflect on him as chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. my responsibility is to restore public confidence in the senate foreign relations committee and its chairman. >> senator ben cardin, we thank you for your time and our condolences for senator feinstein. thank you. >> thank you. still to come on cnn "news central," the top u.s. general

mark milley handing over the reins. plus, a new york city dealing with the most flooding in years. apparently there is still wet weather to come. and the fda putting a new warning label on ozempic. we'll break down why.

joint chief chairman mark milley has officially retired. after holding the position for four years and spending more than four years serving they. last hour he passed the baton to his new replacement during a special farewell ceremony at the pentagon. it come after a tumultuous

tenure that spanned some of the most chaotic political moments. he appeared to take a shot at the former president. listen to this. >> we don't take an oath to a want a be dictator. we take an oath to the constitution and we take an oath to america and we're willing to die to protect it. >> general milley helped steer the country through the january 6th attack on the capitol hill, the chaotic u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan, and a high-stakes maneuvering around the war in ukraine. president biden honored the general, calling him a leader of great strength. we should note, those comments from general milley about a wanna be dictator is aimed at his boss. >> he may have the distinction of being the first chairman of the joint chiefs seen off with violent threats from a former

commander in chief. he said he's had tea security measures to protect his family. >> as much as these comments are directed at me, it's directed at the institution of the military. and there are 2.1 million of us in uniform. the american people can take it to the bank that all of us, every one of us from private to general, are loyal to that constitution and we'll never turn our back on it no matter the threats, the humiliation, no matter what. >> are you worried about your safety? >> i have adequate safety precautions. i wish those comments had not been made but they were and we'll take appropriate actions to ensure my safety and the safety of my family. >> here are the comments that milley is referring to. a post from trump saying milley's calls with his chinese counter part in the final days of his administration were an action so egregious, in the past they would have been punishable by death. according to multiple sources, these were calls where in part

milley sought to calm his counterpart in china by saying the u.s. was not considering an attack on china. sources say there were 15 people on these video calls. and trump is saying that milley should have been killed for them in times gone by. this is the violent rhetoric that trump and also his allies have become known for. the most famous example, of course, being this one on january 6th, 2021. >> we fight. we fight like hell. if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. >> let's have trial by combat. >> we all know what happened after that. 114 police officers injured. one police officer died the day after the attack. four have died by suicide in the aftermath and four of trump's supporters died, including one shot by capitol police while at the front of a be month of

people feet from where lawmaker were sheltering in place. before january 6th, trump's violent rhetoric was long criticized for what it might inspire. after january 6th it was no longer an exercise in hypotheticals. kelly meggs convicted of seditious conspiracy wrote two weeks before the insurrection, trump said it will be wild, it will be wild. he wants us to make it wild. that's what he's saying. he called us all to the capitol and wants to us make it wild, sir, yes, sir. we all know the stakes. trump knows the stakes. they're sky high. yet trump is undeterred. repeatedly threatening those he perceives to be his enemies. like the prosecutors involved in the four indictments he's now facing. there's fani willis who is trying trump for alleged election interference in georgia. she said she and her staff have received violent and racist threats. judge chatkin presiding has

security because she's received death threats. then there is alvin bragg who is trying trump for his hush money payments to an adult film star. trump has reposted a picture of himself with a baseball bat next to bragg's head. it's not very subtle here. and the judge in this case, in this manhattan case, has warned trump through his attorneys not to make any statements that would incite any violence or threats against any officials. in 2022, when senate republicans joined senate democrats in a vote, a pretty simple one to keep the government open, trump said senate minority leader mitch mcconnell had a death wish. if you listen to people from the trump white house, they'll tell you, the violence is the point. it is the feature. not the bug. here's what cassidy hutchinson, former aide to trump's chief of staff mark meadows, told us this

week. >> donald trump knows the impact of his words. on january 6th when he wanted to go to the capitol, that was intentional. the mark milley tweet that you earlier mention trd this past weekend. he knows the impact those words will have. he knows people will come out and be violent against these people and that's what he wants. >> it is intentional, she says. that's what he wants. we'll be right back.

las vegas police have arrested a suspect in connection with the 1996 drive-by shooting death of legendary rapper tupac shakur. live now with joey jackson, so first, what are we learning about this arrest? >> sources saying they have arrested duane keith davis. he was arrested this morning according to sources in connection with the killing of tupac shakur. we do know in july, the las vegas police department served a search warrant on davis's wife's home. what they were looking for with any evidence linking to this crime, they were looking for anything that could show motive as to the killing of tupac shakur. specifically, we know that in

this search warrant, police were able to obtain multiple tablets, an iphone, five computers, usb drive, photographs. we know they have been looking into this case and have been investigating this case since it happened in 1996. at the moment, we do not know what davis has been charged with. we are expecting a press conference later on today to get details from authorities. again, this is something that happened in 1996 and police have been looking into, for years now. duane keith davis, he described himself as one of the only witnesses to this shooting. if you recall, tupac shakur was in a car. they were at a boxing match at the mgm grand in las vegas. they were in a car and all of a sudden there was another car that pulled next to them and the shooting began. it is unclear exactly who shot tupac, but again, this is a huge

development in this case years later, as we now know that there is someone arrested in connection to this case, boris. >> joey, it's been nearly three decades since tupac was shot and killed. this is a surprising development, to say the least. what is your reaction? >> it is a significant and surprising development, without question. i think that what we have to understand, in murder cases, there is no statute of limitations. it is quite common that you have law enforcement throughout this country that continue to operate in a cold case capacity. continue to follow leads, and decades later, sometimes they come to a not could collusion. obviously, in any arrest here, anyone is assumed innocent until proven guilty but police are giving the indication, that is police, that potentially this person was quite involved. now, remember, in the event that there's a pull-up shooting and

indications it happened from the back seat of that white cadillac 27 years ago in september, but you know, in the event that you aided, abetted, seconassisted o acted in concert, you need not have pulled the trigger. there is some indication from the person they have in custody that it was his nephew in the back seat. all allegations. his nephew who is now dead. but his nephew denied that he was involved at all and of course, the giving up of his nephew, the person in custody is in connection with another case where he was questioned. there's certainly reports from his own book that he was present. that he was there, that he was in that vehicle. mere presence to be clear is never enough. you have to establish that you had knowledge of it, were in on it and acted in a accord with whatever is occurred. certainly after all this time, yes, there are challenges moving

forward. you have to believe the search warrant they conducted in july of the suspect's wife's home based upon the information they gathered, based upon street intelligence and other information that they have probable cause to believe that he's involved and will see how the prosecution moves forward after today. >> to me, just the fact that this was a cold case for so long is significant because this was a very public shooting on the las vegas strip. you imagine, there are many witnesses there. it came after a fight at the mgm fight caught on security camera in which there was always suspicious that some of the folks involved in that fight may have been involved in tupac's shooting. talk to us about the challenges of looking into a case like this with nearly 30 years of cold evidence. >> that's a great question. certainly, you want to have arrests closer in time to when an incident occurred for a variety of reasons. the name of the evidence

presented. the memories of the witnesses. the value, whether people's memories have gone stale or cold. but you don't now know. the reality is that you're investigating a case for longstanding, presumably, police have done a very diligent job. have information not just based on the arrest today but information they've gleaned over the course of a number of years and connecting the dots. they have information that this particular suspect, the verbal statements he's given, the memoirs out there. we don't know who police have spoken to in the course of getting to today. how they have connected to this person here. how other information may have been preserved that police have. remember, we have the public reports but we don't know the in depth information that police have gleaned. in any prosecution, even if you have a murder that occurred yesterday, there are challenges. however, they're pretty good at putting together cold cases and a significant number of

convictions based on cases that are decades old. we'll see what the name. evidence is or at least get a look at when it there is a press conference that is held which announces more of what that evidence could be. >> we'll be watching that press conference very closely. major breaking news in the murder of legendary tupac shakur. there has been an arrest in that case in las vegas. thank you so much for that. the governor of new york declaring a safety emergency after excessive rain brings severe flooding to new york city roads, and also subways. central park saw nearly two inches of rain in just one hour and a month's worth of rain, that is more than four inches, fell over parts of brooklyn in just three hours. here's a closer look at some of the areas impacted. we're seeing the water flowing behind you there. tell us what you're seeing. >> reporter: it has been a hellish morning, to say the

least, in america's largest city. when you get a month's worth of rain in only a few hours, this is the result. this is looking at the south side of brook ling's prospect park. one of the many high points in brooklyn. this is all water run-off coming out of the park. as you're able to see here, it is spilling on to the roadway. this offers a small snap shot of the level of treacherous travel that new yorkers have been dealing with since early this morning when rain started to fall. as convenient as this is, this has not been a deadly storm. that's as of the last update ofrld by new york city authorities, saying they have had to rescue folks but so far they haven't received any sort of reports of any fatalities. not like what we saw two years ago when the region was saturated with rain because of a tropical event. look, it is certainly invent. the biggest concern especially is for brooklyn and queens.

specifically people living in basement apartments. that's proved deadly in the past. we heard from officials this morning given this level of rainfall, folks who live in those situations, they're being urged to potentially seek higher ground because this event is far from over as we heard from officials. already some questions being raised about whether or not the city took the right steps leading up to this event, as we heard from mayor adams pretty much defending the city's actions, saying they did not call off school because they were prepared. saying there were travel advisories issued yesterday. the emergency declaration as we send things back to you. that is in place for not only new york city. this event is far from over. >> wow, it is extraordinary there. we know you'll keep an eye on things. thank you. the louisiana police chief faces the cameras as his department comes under scrutiny in the wake of allegations that some of his officers used an alleged torture warehouse.

hear what he had to say about the investigation, next.

the baton rouge police department facing more fallout after officers were accused of abusing detainees at a place called the torture chamber. officers have now been arrested on felony charges. there was a briefing about the arrest and the cnn correspondent ryan young has been following all the developments. what can you tell us? >> reporter: this fallout is growing. there were three concurrent investigations and an fbi investigation all involving the

police department. now we're told by the police chief in this news conference today that there are nine administrative investigations going on right now. four officers have been arrested. that's involving something besides the brave cave. in september 2020, a plan was arrested and brought to the police department building where officers wanted to conduct a search. they believed he had some drugs on him. when the man started struggling, they brought out tasers. they started to tase him over and over, according to the police chief. that actually activated the body cameras the men were wearing. a supervisor realize that had this incident happened. opened an app, and didn't realize that did not follow department policy and had that body camera destroyed in an effort from the video being given to the server. the mayor that they're looking at the entire police department. they're concerned just like the community is about what's going on at the police department. take a listen. >> we know that we must eradicate any remnants of injustice or improper actions to

clean up a culture that has been around for 150 years. to put it in terms that you can relate to, this is not a time for just an annual check-up. this is time for a full-body mri to diagnose and reveal any dysfunctions or wrongdoing. >> yeah, boris, another incident, a man claims he was beaten by officers. a grandmother said she was forced into a body cavity search after they believed she had drugs. so you can understand, this incident where the officers were arrested is separate from the brave cave. there are so many in this community who want something done. especially with this police department, and the chief has said he is stepping down. that will be effective in november. but questions from this community about how they move forward. especially with all these

claims. and more people continue to come forward. these four arrests could be the beginning. especially with other investigations ongoing. boris? >> yeah. some folks on the city council want the chief to step down right now and not wait until november. >> reporter: especially after that big explosion the other day. >> thank you so much. we have some breaking news on a major house vote on capitol hill. tell us about this. it is looking like there are not enough republican votes on this stop-game funding measure. >> reporter: yeah. speaker mccarthy about to be dealt a blow here on the house floor. already 15 republican no votes and counting. all democrats voting against it. on a party line vote in the narrowly-divided house, he can only afford to lose four votes. 15 of his members voting no so this is going down. this will bill would keep the government open for about a month past the saturday

deadline. it would include spending cuts and border security measures, many they oppose. some of the members on the far right don't believe it goes far enough in cutting spending and also saying that macarthur should have moved on more longer term spending bills. where does this leave everything? the likely government shutdown could happen because of this stalemate and divisions within the ranks about how to move forward. mccarthy has refused to say what his next steps would be once this would fall, would collapse. i've asked them time and again. is it time to cut a deal with democrats? trying to come up with any short-term spending to avoid the government shutdown and the damaging consequences of a shutdown. the speaker has not yet said that is his plan. perhaps one reason why, threats from his far right. from the same members who are blocking this bill from going ahead, saying if he does cut a deal with democrats, that could be enough for them to force a

vote, pushing him >> he did not answer questions, meeting behind closed doors with the entire conference, this afternoon, detailing next steps, all eyes on the speaker after the vote, the vote expecting to go down, 21 republican no votes in county, -- and counting. losing on a bipartisan vote. what is next, the senate is moving on a bipartisan track, now the house, a divided republican conference can't get a bill through to get the government open, the speaker has to decide what is next. >> what is the countless, clearly he is being mom on what is next, you asked him and quite persistent, you know that about you, but what is the calculus on putting this bill on the floor, if he knows it's

going to fail? it is selling pretty badly here. >> it is, looks like the vote was just called, they just gavel devote close, it looks like i believe, from what i've seen, would 98-232 was the final vote, and that was a pretty resounding rejection from the speaker, and the 20, and was here, and long-term bills first. trying to paint them, the conference. and and republican support, and

and he was unable, and mccarthy allies. and and keep the government open, and pretty much continue to fight and again. and if not. then potentially risk his speakership. and the gunner, what happens if he doesn't cut the deal with democrats. >> a prolonged we do that is a time to do that. and not going to stop to surrendering to liberal

policies, sounds like something, the white house, and what the speaker himself, over the last several days there, and remember one member could call for a vote seeking his ouster, matt gaetz has been threatening to do this for weeks, if mccarthy cut the deal with democrats, and the vote happens, and five republicans to kick up the speakership, democrats are wondering if they can wheel and deal, extracting concessions, the speakership, and thinking about internally, if he does lose the vote, going to the >>'s race, 218 votes in the house, to find a new speaker of

the house, until that point the house would be paralyzed, they complete apostate situation, but that she the time of the government should step as well, a lot of questions because that has never happened before in american history but something that continues to be a threat over the speaker at this key moment here, mccarthys extracts -- mccarthy's next ups, around the country and around the world, deciding whether the united states government will stay open but whether he will be able to keep his job and the far right members will be able to push about. >> 21 republicans was the final count of how he lost, he could only lose 4 and he lost 21. we are headed for this government shutdown and we talked about this possibility of kevin mccarthy, one of the options trying to cut a deal with the democrats, are they

even inclined to do that, they have just this week sat through this impeachment inquiry hearing that was a bit of a political circus, and will their constituents understand, even if they make the case, why they would be trying to save the height of speaker mccarthy? >> that is a key question that democrats are grappling with. they don't know if they can give them what they want, some say get rid of the impeachment inquiry altogether, perhaps then we can save you from the speakership, that seems unlikely that the speaker would do given were his conferences of the moment. the position of the democratic leaders of that is simply done committal they told me, -- noncommittal they told me, the plan is to put it on the floor, that is how the democrats are positioning this moment, put the senate plan on the floor but mccarthy opposes it, it

funds ukraine, does not cut spending as he wants or border security measures, which is why people are concerned that it -- a bout a prolonged shutdown could happen here. >> it would very likely pass the house and would certainly seal the fate of kevin mccarthy, we know that, thank you for taking us through that, the key vote in congress bailing on a stopgap measure to keep the government open for 30 more days. so right now, the house of representatives on cruise control toward a government shutdown this weekend, without a plan to avert it. we have more on this breaking news ahead, we will be right back.
