tonight on 360, breaking news and a government shutdown a day away and the house speaker who can't seem to stop it. 27 years after tupac shakur's murder, the man police say ordered his death is now in custody. plus, live reporting after some of the most rain and worst flooding new york has ever seen, and it's not over yet. good evening, thanks for joining us. we begin tonight with breaking news in the likelihood that 28 hours from now at one minute past midnight the federal government will shut down. in a moment you'll meet some of the men and women who will be left without paychecks if it does. first, though, the man largely responsible for it house speaker kevin mccarthy. it's not so much what he's done that's led to all this, it's

what he's been unable to do. speaker mccarthy for weeks now has not been able to get the right wing of his narrow majority to agree on stopgap funding to keep the government running, nor has he been willing to work with democrats instead or grab a lifeline and take up a temporary spending measure. instead, today he brought a bill to the floor that was soundly rejected with 21 republicans, many of them hard-liners joining democrats in defeating it. at a press conference before the vote, speaker mccarthy was asked why he was pushing legislation that was dead on arrival. >> mr. speaker, you know full well in order to get a stopgap bill approved, you need to get support from democrats in the senate and the white house, so why aren't you doing that? and what do you say to people who typically believe the reason why you're not is because you're concerned about your own job? >> really? so let's see. what has the white house done and what has the senate done? they haven't passed one appropriation bill, and they

haven't passed any -- and they've been trying to pass appropriation bill too and they haven't done any of that. it's easy to surrender. if you want to surrender, yeah, but if you want to fight for the american public to secure our borders and keep government open, how is that a problem? it's only for cnn that that becomes a problem that i don't surrender to the liberals. what i want to do is stand for america. >> don't actually recall advocating any surrendering to anybody but i digress. the government is about to shut down. house republicans met a short time ago. what are you hearing? >> this is a two-hour long meeting, and during that meeting kevin mccarthy laid out what their limited opgs are at this point. the first option being accepting the senate deal. that includes money for ukraine and disaster aid. the other option is putting their own short-term bill on the floor that doesn't include ukraine money and the third option is a government shutdown. after that meeting kevin mccarthy emerged and he had a new message. he said that any bill to fund government just needs to drop ukraine money.

let's take a listen. >> i think if we had a clean one without ukraine on it, we could probably be able to move that through. i think if senate puts ukraine on there and focuses ukraine over america, i think that could cause real problems. >> reporter: so anderson thrks this is a real change in tune from kevin mccarthy after republicans failed to advance a funding bill that included a number of other conservative priorities like boosting the boarder and spending cuts. now kevin mccarthy unable to get the votes within his own conference moved off of those demands and is signaling that he could be open more to working with the senate. something he was previously reluctant to do. but again, given the time const constraints, it's unclear if the two chambers can come together. >> what exactly, if anything, is going to be voted on tomorrow? >> reporter: house gop leaders are going to whip those 21 republican who is voted against their own spending bill earlier today and try to gauge whether they could support a short potentially 14-day long cr, continuing resolution that would fund the government temporarily,

and if they can support that, the hope is that leadership can put that bill on the floor tomorrow, and then meanwhile, in the senate they have been moving through a bipartisan bill to fund the government that does include $6 billion for ukraine and $6 billion for disaster aid. they'll take that procedural vote tomorrow, but given the time constraints, they are likely not going to be able to vote on final passage until potentially as late as monday. so the big picture here is that congress still has no plan to avert a government shutdown, which is now just almost 24 hours away, anderson. >> thank you much more now on maneuvering within the gop and across party lines over speaker mccarthy's job. joining us pramila jayapal. what's your understanding of where things stand at this hour? >> well, anderson, it's a sad situation we're in. we have a gop majority with a speaker that cannot get his own party to do the simple work of funding a continuing resolution, and the thing is, anderson, we

have plenty of votes to avert a shutdown with a clean continuing resolution that keeps the government funded until the republicans can get their act together on appropriations bills. so this is not a situation that has to happen. if it happens that we have a shutdown that looks increasingly likely, it is a republican shutdown, and it has tremendous consequences for people across the country from people not being able to get the assistance they need to make sure that their social security is working properly, cafeteria workers not being able to get their paychecks, it has tremendous consequences and it's all because, anderson, the republicans have been trying to pass this extreme agenda, a nationwide abortion ban, severe cuts to social security. they can't get it through so now they're holding the government funding hostage and the american people hostage. >> so is there a realistic scenario under which house democrats team one some house

republicans in the next 28 hours to pass the stopgap funding measure that would be able to pass the senate and get signed into law by the president? >> well, that's exactly what should happen. so if the senate sends over something to us, then we can use either kevin mccarthy can put it on the floor and allow republicans to vote with us, because i think we would have enough republicans to pass that, or we could use a discharge petition, and we just need a handful of republicans to vote with all democrats on a continuing resolution, and, listen, we'd like to have that disaster relief aid in there. we'd like to have ukraine funding, but at a minimum, it should be the clean continuing resolution to fund the government, no policy riders, no bad -- no other bad immigration policy, fog but just fund the government. >> you told "politico" that congressman gaetz spoke to you about a potential motion to remove mccarthy from the speaker's office, and the progressives would not support

mccarthy in that scenario. can you talk about that conversation, particularly whether gaetz was asking you flat out in. >> i'm not going to speak about the conversation specifically, but i will tell you at the progressive caucus, and we have 103 members, we had a very strong discussion at the executive board a week ago, and then we had another discussion just yesterday with the full -- with the full membership, and i think what people feel is that kevin mccarthy has led us into this republican shutdown. kevin mccarthy started an impeachment -- a baseless impeachment inquiry into president biden. kevin mccarthy has turned the gavel over to marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz depending on the day, and we have no interest in saving kevin mccarthy. we do have an interest in making sure that government continues to function, that people can get the services that they need, and at the end of the day, we are not going to save republicans -- we are not going to save the speaker because he has been a

completely untrustworthy negotiator. >> democratic congressman james clyburn said today there are circumstances under which he could vote for mccarthy to remain speaker. can you see a scenario in which you and the roeest of the progressive caucus could help him keep the speakership? >> he's not a reliable negotiator. he made a deal with the president and immediately broke it. for us, we would need to write power sharing into the rules of the house. listen, we're not even going there right now. what we're focused on is let's get through this shutdown. let's make sure that government functions because republicans have shown they can't govern. that's -- i mean, there's a civil war going on over on that side. we have said we are willing to fund the government with a clean continuing resolution, ideally with the disaster relief and the ukraine money, but they're not even willing to do that, so we have to get through the situation, and then i think the republicans have got to get it

together and figure out if they've got a majority, do they have a speaker that can actually control that majority? that is what governing is about. >> congresswoman jayapal, thank you so much. much more now on the human consequences, the people directly affected by the government shutdown, especially men and women doing special jobs, cnn's oren liebermann has more. >> on the last military payday before a looming government shutdown, joanna nicoletti is worried about the unknown. >> we have child care costs. we have student loans. we have bills to pay, we have a mortgage to pay, and where is that money going to come from? >> reporter: a shutdown would leave her family and 1.3 million other active duty service members without pay even as they have to keep working. for nicolett ski and her spouse recent emergency. >> ginger garish lost her husband's paycheck during the last shut down 2018 to 2019.

at the time congress made sure the military got paid except for the coast guard whether her husband serves, which falls under the department of homeland security. had this time there's no such measure to pay troops. >> it's difficult when you can't count on your elected officials to protect you when you're literally protecting them and your country. >> reporter: it's not just military paychecks that would stop during the shutdown. some defense department child care centers will close and on base commissaries could close. a quarter of active duty service members experienced food insecurity in recent years according to a study commissioned by the defense department. a shutdown would only make things harder. organizations like the armed services, ymca are ready to offer more help now. >> making sure if we need to we are adding food distribution events through our branches or our partner organizations to ensure that at least once a week there will be a food distribution in those areas. >> reporter: melissa shaw says service members in her husband's unit have put on a brave face

about a potential shutdown, but the concern is real. >> oaf the last 24 hours in particular, we've had a chat thread going with many of the families in our unit. what they're telling us is right now they're choosing to be optimistic. they're choosing to hope for the best and plan for the worst. >> reporter: a military life requires the willingness to make sacrifices for the country like facing the challenges of deployments and moves. a shutdown is different, not a threat from an enemy but a self-inflicted wound. >> it's always a sacrifice. this is another way we are potentiallying with forced to sacrifice so my spouse and family can serve. >> reporter: in previous shutdowns congress has acted to make sure the military gets paid even if and when the, congress hasn't done that, at least not yet in this case. which means we are a very short time away from 1.3 million active duty service members having to work without pay. oren liebermann, cnn in the pentagon. next tonight, more breaking news, the first plea deal in a case against the former president and 18 other

co-defendants, and later the remarkable chain of events that turned one of america's longest running cold cases, the murder of tupac shakur, hochlt hot.

. the first defendant in georgia's rico case against the former president's case to plead guilty. his name is scott hall, he's one of 18 other co-defendants entering a plea and agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors.

nick, first off, talk about what happened in court today. >> this was all part of an impromptu hearing that went down earlier today with scott hall pleading guilty to five misdemeanor chargings. he was initially facing seven charges including racketeers from the district attorney's office here in fulton county. with that guilty plea he becomes first of the 19 co-defendants to cut a deal with the district attorney identifies. listen to part of what happened earlier today in court. >> how do you plead to the five counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties. >> guilty. >> is this being freely and voluntarily given with full knowledge of the charges against you? >> yes, ma'am, it is. >> there he is in his own words. as part of the conditions of this sentencing, it's five years of probation, a $5,000 fine, 200 hours of community service. perhaps most importantly, he's going to have to cooperate. he's going to testify at any future proceedings or trials in this case. >> and jennifer, how significant

it is for the case against the former president and more directly to sidney powell? >> it's really significant, anderson. he's the first one, right, this kind of starts what should be a rush to fani willis's office to cut deals from the other defendants. you know, not everyone will get a cooperation deal, and i think the cooperation piece is why he ended up pleading to misdemeanors with an agreement there be no prison time. this really ought to start this process, which will strengthen their case, and also thin the number of defendants. they can't try 17 defendants together, so they're going to need to get some more out of the case, and i think this will start -- help that process along. >> nick, what do we know about this guy's role in the efforts in coffee county? how does a bails -- bond b bailsman get into subverting democracy? >> he was a pro-trump poll watcher in atlanta during the election in 2020. he was also a supporter of this conspiracy that there was widespread voter fraud in the state during the 2020 election when there wasn't, and as a result they tried to prove this

conspiracy. he along with other trump operatives according to the district attorney's office and through hall's own admission, by illegally accessing voting equipment in rural coffee county. it's really interesting, anderson, i mentioned he's the first of the 19 co-defendants to take a plea. earlier today during a procedural hearing involving sidney powell and ken chesebro. the d.a.'s office seepmed to signal they were going to offer plea deals to those two co-defendants. >> you said for prosecutors, it's the beginning of the thinning of the herd? >> twice if the powell chesebro trial does go forward next month. this is a big part of what they're doing but also of course strengthening their case. this guy can testify directly against sidney powell and any testimony he gives about the scheme actually goes to all of the co-defendants because of course they're charged with the racketeering scheme and conspiracy. so it's important evidence.

it's an important thing that happened today, and i think we'll see more people coming in, some to cooperate, some to just plead out of the case. but in both of those instances it's important for prosecutors to get these deals done. >> is there going to be a rush now? hall was given a good plea deal, no prison time. not every subsequent defendant who's interested in a plea deal is going to get the same treatment. >> exactly. it will depend on the person, how involved they were. other things that we don't necessarily know about like their criminal history. as we go along and as they get more and more cooperators, they don't need as many. it will depend on what they they know. it will be interest whg we get into more of that mid-level and top level defendants who were the ones who planned the scheme, created the scheme, that's when we'll see what kind of deals they'll really be offering to people who want to take a guilty plea without cooperation. >> jennifer rogers, nick valencia, thanks so much. federal prosecutors say announcing charges against an irs contractor who allege lid stole the tax returns of a high

ranking government official. a source familiar with the matter told cnn that this official is the former president, the suspect charles edward littlejohn is also accused of stealing irs information on thousands of other wealthy americans. coming up, tupac shakur, the legendary rapper who was murder instead 1996, no suspect has ever been arrested for his death until today. we'll have the latest in the investigation. new york city endured months of rain in one 24-hour period producing massive floods like this. gary tuchman joins us ahead with why some of danger is yet to subside.

at the time, he was one of the most prolific voices of the hip-hop generation. shakur's lyrics read like poetry and give an unvarnished look at the life he was born into, a life he called thug life. ♪ >> his brother says all these years later people still confuse what his brother meant by thug life. >> the core of it is about looking out for the poor, the disenfranchised and the kids. if you don't look out for the kids, they could turn out to be a monster. a lot of times kids in these communities are forgotten about. left out. shorted. >> tupac's music explored themes about poverty, street violence, black liberation, and the love between a mother and son. ♪ ♪ even as a crack fiend, you always was the black queen ♪

♪ i finally understand for a woman it ain't easy ♪ >> tupac lived a version of the american dream as well as an american nightmare. he was a young black man who unchained himself from extreme poverty. his school friends say his nose was always in a book, always learning, but it was his music and acting that set him apart. >> tupac was extremely passionate, very honest, and raw in his approach to communicating. >> reporter: he became a world famous icon of a then emerging genre of music, hip-hop only to be gunned down at just 25 years old near a las vegas street corner. retired las vegas police lieutenant chris carroll was first on the scene that september day. >> i ended up pulling tupac out of the car. i spoke to him. he was still alive. he was still breathing. i was asking him who did it. who shot him, what happened, and that's when he responded to me

with the now infamous words fu. >> to put it mildly, shakur was not a fan of police. one reason his mother says he experienced police violence while still in her womb. she recounted the fbi charging into her home guns out, and carting her off to jail. she was a member of the black panthers. she defended herself in court and won her case against the state. >> he was born one month and three days after we were acquitted. >> reporter: tupac also had his own run-ins with violence and the law. >> i will make this court proud if they give me the chance to do so. i mean, i'm sure you don't need to see another black face behind wars. >> he was a natural born fighter for black causes. >> i am his mother and to a large extent i feel as though tupac came into this world carrying my black panther party pass was his baggage. >> reporter: he himself was shot five times during a robbery in

>> that's right. two months ago they went and searched his house, and everyone was shocked they were still investigating this 27 years later. when you look through this, there's always been this talk of these two men being in a gang, that is mentioned here that he was a part of the south side compton crips, and they say he purchased the weapon that was used in the killing. now, he has always said, he's come out and sort of said, yeah, i was there, but he always denied being the person who was responsible for the death of tupac. >> we'll keep following it. thank you so much. now to the cleanup in new york city and surrounding areas where there's a state of emergency. hard hitting rains produced massive floods in the city today. it was a mess out there knocking out subway, commuter train lines, stranding motorists. no fatalities fortunately or injuries have been reported. the danger still exists even as the rains move away from the city. gary tuchman joins us from hard-hit brooklyn. >> reporter: that video you just showed was taken in this exact

spot, this impact intersection. we're in the gawanus section of brooklyn. there were ability thabout thre feet of water flooding homes and businesses. and in many parts of the new york city they saw the same thing. the water has receded for the most parktst, but the rain continues to fall. the system is not yet done. life-threatening flash flooding in america's largest city, creating large scale problems. many houses and apartments inundated, particularly in the new york city borough of brooklyn. one brooklyn man said when he woke up at 8:00 a.m., the water was at his knees. >> within i guess about ten minutes tit was waist high wate. >> this was the scene at one of city's largest parks, prospect park at brooklyn. >> how the [ bleep ] am i supposed to get across this? are you [ bleep ] serious?

>> reporter: cars, trucks, buses driving through flood waters. >> oh, my goodness. >> reporter: the huge new york city subway system impacted with raging rapids pouring downstairs of the station in brooklyn. the deluge flooding some of the tunnels and causing signal issues, delaying some of the 36 subway lines. and getting to airports, a huge challenge for many. on the grand central parkway on the way to the laguardia airport in queens, flooded roadways fltd the new york city mayor warning people earlier in the day to stay in place whether they were at home, work, or in schools which were open. >> i am issuing a state of an emergency for new york city, based on the weather conditions, i want to say to all new yorkers, this sometime for heightened alertness and extreme caution. >> reporter: a state of emergency was also declared on

long island. >> wow, this is unbelievable. i've never seen this situation happen, and this is crazy. >> reporter: and across the state line, a state of emergency declared in new jersey, in fairfield, new jersey, about 25 miles west of manhattan, a man driving through flood waters is rescued by a fairfield police officer. the driver is fine. this flooding, highly unusual, but because it's new york city, many people went on with their normal lives the best they could like this man on his delivery bicycle. >> i thought it was 3 inches of water. i'm soaked now. i probably got like a disease now. >> and how much rain has fallen in the new york area so far? >> reporter: anderson, here in brooklyn, more than 7 inches in the last 24 hours, but the most in new york city, jfk airport in queens more than 8.5 inches. a typical september at jfk

airport gets about 3.5 inches. that's about two and a half septembers min one 24-hour period. >> thank you. coming up, we remember the legacy of senator dianne feinstein. she died today. three decades on capitol hill, the center of some of the most divisive issues the country has faced.

when senator barack obama

became the presumptive democracy nominee, he and hillary clinton met in private to begin the process of unifying the party after a bitter primary fight. that happened at the washington home of senator dianne feinstein. the california democrat who played many roles in her three decades in washington. that night she was playing the role of peacemaker. she died today at the age of 90 following months of declining health and a career that was intertwined with some of the most explosive issues the u.s. has faced from cia torture to gun control. >> i became mayor as a product of assassination of the mayor being killed and the first openly gay public official being killed. >> reporter: for dianne feinstein tragedy paved the way for opportunity and a career in politics that would last decades. >> both mayor moscone and supervisor harvey milk have been shot and killed.

>> it was 1978, san francisco's mayor along with town supervisor harvey milk had been shot dead. feinstein had been serving as president of the county board of supervisors and was sworn in as the city's first female mayor. fast forward to 1984 when feinstein found herself on the short list of vp candidates for walter mondale. that didn't pan out, but washington, d.c., eventually did. >> so help you god. >> i will. >> reporter: in 1992, feinstein won a special election and packed her bags for the nation's capitol becoming the first woman to represent california in the u.s. senate. >> i won among men. i won among women. now what that says is that to me the fact that i'm a woman is there but it's incidental. >> reporter: incidental perhaps, but hard to ignore, especially given all feinstein has done for women of future generations. on a long list of firsts,

feinstein served as the first woman to sit on the senate judiciary committee, the first female chair of the intelligence committee, and the first woman to chair the senate rules and administration committee. >> today there are 25 women serving in this chamber, and every one of them will admit they stand on dianne's shoulders. >> reporter: feinstein fought for the issues that were important to her like gun control. one of her more notable successes was helping push through the federal assault weapons ban in 1994. >> there's no second amendment right to bear every type of weapon that you know of. >> reporter: she was also a leading voice on legalizing gay marriage and lgbtq rights and she helped create the nationwide amber alert system. feinstein, a democrat, had a unique ability to reach across the aisle where she found a friend in republican senator mitch mcconnell. >> elaine and i were actual friends of dick and dianne. >> reporter: feinstein was born in san francisco in 1933 and

graduated from stanford university in 1955. her high profile senate career was featured in the 2019 film "the report." feinstein was portrayed by actress annette benning in the film, which tackled the subject of the cia's use of torture after 9/11. as chair of the senate intelligence committee, feinstein fought with the cics a for years over releasing the investigation into the agency's use of enhanced interrogation techniques. in february she confirmed she would not run for re-election telling cnn the time has come. feinstein was the longest serving woman in the u.s. senate. >> it's what i'm meant to do, as long as the old bean holds up. >> reporter: her desk in the senate chamber now draped in black, dianne feinstein was 90 years old. >> extraordinary life of service. next, during his retirement speech, outgoing joint chiefs chairman mark milley made an

apparent swipe at the former president who accused him of tre treason. you're going to hear what milley had to say, and i'll talk about it with former defense secretary william cohen ahead.

joint chief chairman general mark milley has retired after holding the top job for four years and serving the country for more than forr four decades. today general milley turned over command to his replacement general c.q. brown. milley's retirement typically wouldn't have gotten so much attention. he's had to take security precautions because his former boss recently accused him of treason writing on social media, quote, in times gone by the punishment would have been death, which he followed with this thinly veiled threat, to be continued. in his farewell remarks his words certainly sent a message. >> we don't take an oath to a country. we don't take an oath to a tribe. we don't take an oath to a religion. we don't take an oath to a king or a queen or to a tyrant or a dictator, and we don't take an oath to a want to be dictator.

we don't take an oath to an individual. we take an oath to the constitution. >> joining me now is former defense secretary william cohen. secretary cohen, i'm wondering what you made of what general milley said? >> well, i think it's understandable under the circumstances that he would say this. after all, the former president has put a target on his back by suggesting that he would be guilty of treason and face the death penalty all in capital letters as far as death is concerned. that's the equivalent of calling for someone to attack him and kill him. under those circumstances, i think his emotion coming out talking about would be dictators is understandable. and as far as the treason charge is concerned, that's usually defined as giving aid and comfort to an enemy. what general milley had done is he gave aid and comfort to the american people. in doing so he protected us against any other country

agentinagent acting on the assumption that things were going downhill very rapidly in this country. i can tell you from my own experience that most countries draw profiles of the civilian and military in the other concern, they want to know who they're dealing with under any circumstance, and i'd be willing to bet it's no different in china or any other country that you would go through their profile and see the words unstable, mercurial, explosive, impulsive, unreliable, no respect for law, and possibly socio sociopathic, you would find all of those words in the profiles that other countries draw of our former president. so under those circumstances, for him fearing that another country might see action being taken or thought to be taken by us, he did us a favor by calling out and talking to his counterpart saying, it's okay. we're safe, you're safe. nothing bad is going to happen right here. >> i'm kind of stunned -- i shouldn't be -- by the reaction

or lack of reaction that the former president's comments got. i mean, do you remember when donald trump was running for president and at a symposium he talked john mccain and said john mccain is no hero. that got a lot of reaction at that time. we are now at a point where the former president of the united states accuses a man who has served this country for four decades in very difficult circumstances, accuses him of trape treason and talks about the death penalty, and it goes by without much of a blip. >> well, it goes by for me at least shamefully in the senate, i don't recall any republican senator or democratic senator for that matter calling out and condemning this statement, and pat moynihan celebrated the life of dianne feinstein who i knew from the time she was mayor in san francisco, but she was a lioness at the senate. there was another oneare takingr

and we are taking this country down. it is abhorrent for a former commander-in-chief to attack and call for a death penalty. this aberrant behavior from people in the congress calling for them to be hung. and we are tolerating it, allowing it, normalizing it, saying it is just him talking. >> no. it comes from the top and it signals to the average person that it is okay to think in the those terms, it is okay to take military or physical action to use firearms and other means of disruption to go after high- ranking officials, as you pointed out who have devoted their lives to the safety and security of this country, where the former president as i recall evaded going into service,

because of that certificate that he had. so, it is aberrant behavior on the part that is filtering down to every aspect of our society and i think as it was recently said by president, joe biden, democracy is in real danger. we are facing a world in which there is an existential level that can take place at a moment's notice. so, we want people in positions of power to act according to reason, rational, credibility and consistency. and we are seeing a former president gather the support of millions of people who was acting with aberrant behavior, psychologically i think, and mentally unfit to serve as president of united states again. >> secretary:, i appreciate your return today. >> thank you, anderson. >>, president, jimmy carter, celebrating his 99th birthday this weekend, even though he entered hospice care seven months ago.

we went to president's hometown to see how the small-town is honoring their favorites next.
