7:03 am

7:04 am
in the london airport with a lot of people gathered around. so i went over to take a look. i saw. i saw this all male judiciary committee and it took all these years, but here we are. >> reporter: whether it was becoming the first female mayor of san francisco or the first woman elected to the senate from the state of california. >> i feel a little bit like i just got married. it was a very special ceremony torque be in the chambers, in this room, with the history. >> reporter: where she went on to serve sick terms. in the senate she made history as the first woman to chair the senate judiciary committee, the senate rules committee and senate intelligence committee. in 2009 she considered herself a staunch democrat, but prided herself on the ability to build bipartisan bridges across the aisle. >> i worked with republicans and democrats alike. >> reporter: focusing on issue such as national security,
7:05 am
cancer, helping women and children, protecting california's natural resources. among her achievements, enacting the federal assault weapons ban in 1994 and presiding over a six year review of the cia's detention program which resulted in a change in interrogation methods. diane feinstein was 90 years old. it will be the task of democratic governor gavin newsom to name a successor to dyan diane feinstein. people will remember her here on capitol hill. >> thank you. you're tracking the latest on the looming government shutdown. lawmakers are scrambling to put together a deal to keep the government running. >> a shutdown seems all but certain at this point. house speaker kevin mccarthy is scrambling, trying to put a last ditch effort on the floor but his own members are standing in the way.
7:06 am
millions of americans preparing to go without pay just one day out from a government shutdown. but house speaker mccarthy can't even unite his own party. he rejected a bipartisan plan from the senate to keep the government funded, telling his own members if they vote for his proposal today, he'll add measures to increase border security. those holdouts not backing down, threatening to oust him as speaker. do you believe speaker mccarthy has the votes? >> for what? no, he doesn't. >> reporter: it will fail? >> yeah. >> reporter: speaker mccarthy firing back. >> why would i side with biden on an open border when we have an opportunity to close it? >> reporter: the impact would stretch far beyond the border. 4 million government workers could lose a pay check, 7 million mothers could lose federal assistance to feed their families. and the reality is, not funding the government would only create more challenges at the border,
7:07 am
leaving 20,000 border patrol officers without pay. federal funds assisting local communities could be halted. >> that means we're going to have to put more people on overtime. it's a national security threat. >> reporter: border communities like laredo, texas, already weighing emergency declarations, struggling with a surge of migrants. >> if that shuts down, it will be total disruption and chaos. >> reporter: senate democrats calling mccarthy's sudden demand for border security too little too late. >> if we need to put on the table some border security measures, we should take the next two months to figure out what that is rather than throwing something together in an afternoon and jamming it into this bill. >> reporter: so this morning mccarthy is in a box, at sharp odds with the senate's top republicans. >> shutting down the government is a choice and it's a choice that would make the crisis at our southern border even worse. >> reporter: and facing a revolt from his own members. >> is that a failure of leadership, the fact that republicans didn't start this process sooner?
7:08 am
we are down to the wire here an we're still going through it. >> yes, it is a failure of leadership. >> reporter: republicans have been focused on launching an impeachment inquiry into president biden, holding a six hour hearing, alleging he benefitted from hunter biden's business dealings as vice president. even their own witnesses testified there's no evidence of that. >> i do not believe that the current evidence would support articles of impeachment. that is something that an inquiry has to establish. i also do believe that the house has passed the threshold for an impeachment inquiry into the conduct of president biden. >> reporter: at this point it doesn't appear to be a question of if there will be a government shutdown, but more of a question of, how long will it last? in the coming days, there will be growing pressure on house republicans to work together with democrats on a bipartisan solution, but they only appear to be digging in, michael. >> seems to be the case, rachel, unfortunately. thank you for that. joining us is top national security council spokesman john
7:09 am
kirby. thank you very much for joining us this morning. i just want to jump right in and ask you how could a government shutdown impact the military? >> well, the first and most immediate impact, michael, is those 1.3 million active duty troops won't get paid. they'll still be out there deployed. they'll still be defending this country, but they won't get paid. nobody joins the military to get rich. every pay check matters. you miss a couple, it starts to show up in terms of your ability to pay rent, pay groceries, pay your bills. it will have a significant effect on their morale. it won't just be them. it will be the defense department employees. hundreds of thousands will be furloughed. which means, they won't not only be getting paid, they won't be allowed to show up for work. that will have an impact on the way the pentagon does business every single day. >> lot of these civilian employees that you talk about, they play a crucial role in running of the government. you know, domestic impact is pretty clear, but could this shutdown, if it does happen,
7:10 am
also impact the on going aid to ukraine? >> absolutely it could. for instance, we aoefr got enough money left, we can continue to support ukraine with some security assistance packages in the coming week. without that supplemental funding, we asked for $13 billion just for defense related support without that supplemental funding. we could have a real significant problem supporting ukraine, as they get further into the fall and continue to try to prosecute this counter offensive. not only that, but our ability to restock our pentagon shelves with inventory as we give it to ukraine will be limited but a the contract specialists, those civilians, that will be furloughed, on the be on the job. >> good point there. how are you preparing for a possible shutdown? >> first thing is urging congress to do their job and to pass this funding bill an make sure that the government can keep working. but we're also going to great lengths to inform the work force officially across the federal government about what this shutdown could mean for them.
7:11 am
making sure that they know, if they're going to be furloughed, who's going to be furloughed, how that process will work, as far as making sure the troops will know we're working very very hard to keep them getting paid while they continue to defense the country. >> is there really -- is there really much that you can do though? >> there's not a lot we can do here at the white house, no. this is between speaker mccarthy and a small group of house republicans that want to hold the entire u.s. government hostage. this is between him and his caucus. they need to solve this problem. >> all right, mr. kirby, john kirby, thank you very much for joining us this morning. always appreciate your time. >> yes, sir. thank you. >> we're turning to a massive fentanyl bust in new york. 40 pounds were seized from a drug house in the bronx. aaron katersky has the latest. >> reporter: the country is now awash in fentanyl. it's the most common drug linked to overdose drugs. the traffickers are becoming so reckless.
7:12 am
enough fentanyl to until 1 million people ended up on the subway during rush hour. a suspected drug trafficker who they say operated out of this apartment in the bronx is under arrest. authorities seized 40 pound of fentanyl, enough to kill 1 million people. >> it's completely reckless for these traffickers to be moving this poison in this fashion. they put a lot of new yorkers at risk. >> reporter: the dea said the drug mill was just blocks from the day care where a 1-year-old died and three other children had to be revived with narcan after they were exposed to fentanyl. investigators say they found bricks of the drug on top of play mats and beneath a trap door in the floor. law enforcement sources tell abc news the owner, who's amonth several people now charged in the boy's death had pulled her own toddler out of the day care fearing he would be exposed to fentanyl. the woman's husband, who
7:13 am
authorities say was seen amid surveillance images fleeing down a back alley, was caught in mexico. he's now back in the u.s. and facing federal charges. in portland, oregon, police issuing a warning about a concerning number of juvenile fentanyl overdoses in recent months. five children have died, including a 5-year-old, earlier this month. in san francisco, the father of a 10-month-old said his baby overdosed on fentanyl at a playground and had to be revived with narcan. >> we want americans to know fentanyl is lethal. it's killing americans at catastrophic rates. >> reporter: the mayor of new york announced plans to convene a summit next week calling fentanyl one of the greatest public health crises of our time. michael? >> you're right about that, aaron. thank you. now to gas prices. the national average levelled off. it is a far different story in california where prices at the pump are sky rocketing.
7:14 am
>> reporter: californians are used to high gas prices but not this. $7.25 a gallon at this station. you're looking at over $8 for full serve. the average is, of course, lower nationally, about $3.83. average in california is $6.07. prices here have gone up $0.79 a gallon in just the past month. there is a state law aimed at penaliing companies if a panel determines there is any price gouging. republicans are asking for a special session to vote to suspend california's gas tax which is $0.58 a gallon. they tried to do it last year. democrats blocked them. overnight governor newsom pushed the transition to a cheaper winter fuel blend. that's what he did last year when prices were high. but that is a short term fix. long term he's asking the division of petroleum market oversight to give him proposal on market reforms by january 1st. he's accusing oil companies of lying and gouging californians
7:15 am
to line their own pockets. for the time being, lot of people in california are especially hurting before they hit the roads. juju? >> thank you, zohreen. a law is hiking minimum wage for workers in california. andrew dinmer is tracking the latest there. >> reporter: good morning, juju. it is now law in california. the new minimum wage for fast food workers in the state is $20 per hour, taking effect on april 1st of next year. about half million workers will be affected by this increase. critics say the wage hike will be a burden on businesses which may then pass this cost on to the consumer. governor newsom and proponents of the new law say this will help improve the lives of fast food employees an reward their sacrifice. $20 is a starting point. the law creates a council which could increase that each year through 2029. guys? >> all right. some people very happy to hear this news this morning. andrew, thank you. we turn now to the big football weekend. deion sanders is hoping to get his colorado buffalos back on
7:16 am
