of all time. we'll have more of his good-bye to yankee fans and to yankee stadium. chris christie gets in a dust up with megan mccain. why she's so over the new jersey governor. it's ground hog day in d.c. spending cuts linked to the debt ceiling. the white house says no. a lot funnier. this is "way too early." good morning. i'm brian shactman. it's friday, september 27th. i wanted to show a few headlines for mariano rivera. it was really awesome. we'll have the whole thing later on. this from "the daily news." exit sad man, which is enter sandman. this one from the "new york post," the greatest closure of all time. he's the greatest closer of all

time. we'll show more of what he had to say a little bit later in the show. also more details on wendy davis and her possible run for governor of texas. and in the cooler, zach gall fa knacks i beating up justin bieber. we'll show it to you in the cooler. we begin in washington, d.c. where they are just three days before the threat of the federal government shutting down becomes a reality. here's where we stand right now. later today the senate be begin voting on a bill to fund the government. harry reid will look to amend the bill stripping it of any language to defund obama care. yesterday the president's health care plan remained the center of attention on capitol hill as the criticism of senator ted cruz's pseudofilibuster conned through the ranks of the republican party. >> i don't think ever in the history of the senate have we had a 21-hour filibuster and

then the person carrying out the filibuster voted for the issue they were filibustering. y'all have sent out releases and e-mails and want everybody to be able to watch. it doesn't seem to me that's in our nation's interest. >> why is harry reid going to vote the same way you're proposing to vote? why is every democrat going to vote the way you're proposing to vote? >> you voted in favor of the thing you're filibustering. it seems to me that they are very similar. >> senator corker's exchange prompted this tweet from the conservative club for growth. "senator corker became a democrat just now on the senate floor." the bill goes back to the house today where lawmakers there will have to accept the senate's changes or shut down the government. john boehner already has his eyes set on the next fight in washington, the borrowing limit. president obama says the issue remains off the table.

>> i will not negotiate on anything when it comes to the full faith and credit of the united states of america. we're not going to submit to this kind of thing. congress needs to pass a budget on time. congress needs to put an end to governing from crisis to crisis. >> we're going to introduce a plan that ties important spending cuts and pro growth reforms to a debt limit increase. now the president says i'm not going to negotiate. well, i'm sorry, but it doesn't work that way. >> the treasury department says congress has until october 17th to raise the debt ceiling or face the possibility of default. now to the latest on the investigation into the mall massacre in kenya. there's an international search underway for samantha latheweight, also known as the white widow.

the warrant is actually in connection with a 2011 plot to bomb targets across kenya. she was once married to one of the london subway bombers and officials have not connected her to the mall massacre, but there were reports that a white woman was one of the attackers. al shabaab is threatening to carry out more assaults saying that the mall attack was just act one. and kenya's intelligence agency released a report from exactly one year before the attack that al shabaab was determined to strike the westgate mall. eric holder says there's no reason to believe al shabaab is planning to strike here in the united states. >> we're dealing now with a different threat environment. i would not say we have any credible evidence that al shabaab is planning to do anything in the united states. i'm not sure if they have the capacity to do anything in the united states. doesn't mean that we're not taking the threat they posed as a serious one.

>> holder says despite claims from kenyan officials saying americans took part in the mall attack, there's no direct evidence as of yet. let's turn our attention to syria. after weeks of doubt, there's a deal with the u.s. to dispose of chemical weapons. the key countries on the security council agreed to the terms chrks do not include a threat of force once a key sticking point for the united states. the obama administration trotted out a sales effort in front of congress pushing for limited military strikes. since then they have surprised everybody in the international community as it acquiesces to the pressure from russia to inventory and lay out the locations of the stockpiles. a vote on the u.n. plan could come later today. chemical weapons inspections could start as early as next week. meanwhile, thursday secretary of state john kerry met with his iranian counterpart. this is the highest level

meeting between the two countries since the late '70s. the tone described as positive yet cautious noting that historic obstacles remain to overcome. wendy davis getting ready to throw her hat into the race for governor. she's expected to officially announce she's running on october 3rd, they are saying. she gained national attention for. her 11-hour filibuster against restrictions on abortion clin s clinics. the law was passed into law. perry said he will not seek reelection. if davis gets the nomination, she could face greg abbott. for a perspective, more than $1 million in donation. s poured into davis's office in the weeks after the filibuster but abbott has already raised more than $20 million for his campaign. it's a war of words between chris christie and mccain. but not john mccain. here's what his daughter megan

said monday when asked about christie running for president in 2016. >> i used to love chris christie. i'm kind of done with chris christie right now. >> why? >> ever since his speech at the convention, he just talked about himself the entire time. >> christie fired back with a response, even though he said he shouldn't have to. >> it's so ridiculous that i have no response to megan mccain. if john mccain wants to say something to me, happy to respond to something john mccain says. megan mccain has no standing to be kri tooeking me. i'm not going to respond to somebody just because of her last name. >> he would have responded if she were a new jersey citizen. investors hoping stocks close on a positive note after a rough week. major averages avoiding a six-day losing streak. good jobless claims are part of

the spark for that one. good morning, jeff. >> good morning to you. away from the markets, we're also keeping an eye on the debt story as well. i'm not talking about the debt ceiling per se. i'm talking about detroit. story during the rounds that there will be some financial assistance for detroit, but the federal government is only talking about $300 million here. this is a city in it up to $18 to $20 billion. so that's some way off the pace. that assistance reflecting the federal government's own limited ability at the moment to provide funding. moving on, i want to talk about microso microsoft. people have been speculating who is going to replace this man. the key figure in all of this is microsoft director john thompson who heads up the board committee that is looking for his replacement. . he says he will not be influenced by bill gates and his

decision making. they want to put out some special packages to provide incentives for leading executives perhaps who will not get or are not in the running for the top position. you know how it is. you have to try to retain the top talent even when you know some of them are going to be disappointed. >> they are throwing money at me like crazy just to keep me happy. a lot of people think he will retire. so bah ril la paz tpasta is in hot water. >> this story is bubbling away. we would not use gay characters

si advertising our products. some now calling for boycotts of the product. but he continues to insist this is not an image we want to portray when we are selling bah ril la. >> stripes on stripes on stripes, he's not boycotting. he has three sets of stripes. >> i have some stick for this this morning. i was told it should have been a plain shirt. i think the triple stripe combination is arresting. maybe only arresting as far as the style police are concerned. >> i have known you for a long time. i support anything you do fashion or otherwise. have a great weekend. twitter question. google promoting its newest function. doing comparison searches. you can sigh what's better, this this or this. they make glasses, phones, lapto laptops, driverless car. we want to know what can't
