Lawmakers are looking to averta Government Shutdown at midnight eastern time. After the house and pushed a bipartisan spending bill across the finish line surprising many. Good evening i am jon scott on this is the fox report. Jon fox team a coveted Chatter Program wide on capitol hill and lukas thomas at the white house where it was the right to receive Congressional Correspondent chad pergram. Jon, good evening. They have not quite averted a Government Shutdown they are getting close per the house approved a bipartisan six week extension 335 991 today. Leaned on democrats to get this done. Sure every b but you had with governments going to shut down i dont how many times youre going to count us out. But there is one thing you should start understanding, not just that i will never give up on the type of conservative that wants to get things done. Was always believed a bipartisan mix of democrats and republicans could avert a shutdown. Mccarthy simply Co Cannot Pass A Temporary Bill with only gop members. So he reached across the aisle. X you know, this 11th hours never a good thing for our country but was not good for the debt ceiling is not good for Government Shutdowns. But thankfully we got it done for its Bigger Mccarthy pulled another rabbit out of the hat. Some conservatives are outraged. They just oppose interim bills on principle. That is because those bills renew old funding on a temporary basis. Unfortunately now will have 45 days of the same bipartisan Muscle Memory of straight upanddown vote whatever is and is good with us. That is what we are 33 chilean dollars and that in our country is crumbling. Worked with democrats could have consequences for mccarthy. Gop florida representative matt gates tried to hold a vote of noconfidence for mccarthy if he worked with democrats for the speaker did just that. Gates tried to get the floor as the house adjourned until monday. It is unclear if gates will attempt his gambit next week and the senate still must vote on the temporary bill to a line of the house to avoid a shutdown. That vote comes shortly. Jon are chad pergram, thank you. So as chad was just explaining lawmakers appear to have it narrowly averted a Government Shutdown later tonight. The ink is not all dry you. Live look at the white house was the funding bill has passed the house and needs approval from the senate. Lucas thomas and live with reaction there. President biden is attending mass in the nations capitol no doubt relieved and very thankful a Government Shutdown appears to have been averted. It is notable that showed this crisis be avoided is going to punt the next Potential Shutdown for 45 days. But it made it november the presents on the west coast potentially meeting with sheeting paying. Well see if that happens the next 45 days. The white house releasing a statement about this shutdown potentially being averteds this ability keeps the government open at a higher funding level in the senate bills includes Disaster Relief and faa authorization. That Disaster Relief welcomed by new yorkers. If republicans are trying to cut these programs deep with devastating 30 cuts for the reverse themselves fully expect Speaker Mccarthy who has stated his support for funding to support ukraine in his fight against russias illegal and unjustifieds War Of Aggression will bring a separate bill to the floor shortly. Now jon, heres flight upon the persian gulf this week a reminder the sailors and marines are about to work without a paycheck if the government had shut down but the mission continues. They will fly aircraft and will be paid to do so. Just a few days ago the Iranian Forces shined a laser multiple times a similar aircraft a viper like this in a Marine Teletype Copter earlier this week there combat pay will no longer be in jeopardy for theres no question 1. 3 million americans serving on active duty are relieved there will not likely be a Government Shutdown on they will have those paychecks at least for the next 45 days, jon. Jon 45 days better than nothing. Lucas tomlinson, thank you. Lets bring an expert and on all this former utah Congressman Jason is also a fox news contributor. Rent s of the details for the house has passed it wheaton of the senate has to pass it. But there are some things not in the house bill the Senate Already approved. How likely would you say it is the senate votes yes on this deal . I think its almost certain the centers the staff i have been talking with i dont see anybody that is planning. The probably a few senators that do. Its going to be brought up and i do think it will pass. This bill spends more than what we were spending. Spending has increased in your federal government, not decreasing is not the same but they did get the 16 billion for Disaster Relief. Some of that is muchneeded. But we never do in this country is pulled from another budget. We appropriate more thats what this bill did. Jon what about winners and losers here how do you assess that you are out of congress now you can take a step back. Who are the winners and the losers in this negotiation . I look for people on the outside Government Employees are troops and that sort of thing to just continue to get their checks should not be breaking news. I think what is wrong is the idea we dont both of the normal regular appropriation process. I thought it was pretty rich leadership in the House Of Representatives said we need more time to go to the appropriations process or they just got back from a four or five week recess. They should have been doing those Appropriation Bills one at a time and regular order. That was the promise they did not do it that is why a lot of conservatives 20 or so are really upset and has continued the status quo never ending continuing resolutions and on the buses. That is why i think on Monday The Drama will be focused back on Kevin Mccarthy. Will they have a call to the chair to try to replace him . Jon there were fireworks you might said capitol hill today as democratic new york representative jamaal bowman, who is a former educator a former Principal High School principal is my understanding, pulled a fire alarm. Here is footage of it. An image taken from videotape. Jamaal bowman is said to pulled a fire arms part is an attempt to slow down the voting process. Your thoughts on what happened here . Allegation as he pulled out alarm. Again i dont think a School Principal would have a pretty good indication of what a Fire Alarm Looks like as opposed to a button to go up or down in an elevator. The house there the Cannon House Office building was evacuated during Government Proceedings. So if it was a normal person not a member of congress with the b charge . Yes. I think this person if the evidence shows depends what he told the Capitol Hill Police he should be charged he should beat not just a reprimand by the House Of Representatives but potentially charged. Some members of congress are saying he should be thrown out of that body. Lets listen to mike a republican from new york. It is absolutely outrageous. Number two it is potentially criminal. Number three, i have been working tirelessly to keep this governmentfunded. Ive been in meetings of the republicans, democrats, working to make sure we got a bill on the floor today to avert a Government Shutdown. That any member of congress would think it is appropriate to pull a fire alarm to try and Delay Congress from doing its business is shameful. It is unbecoming and he should strongly consider resigning from congress if he did that. Jon do you think theres anybody on capitol hill or anybody at least the House Of Representatives who thanks that what he does appropriate . I doubt it. Youll see a lot of democrats rallied to his support. But again would a normal citizen if nobodys above the law if theyre going to live by that principal and disrupting Government Proceedings we saw that is what generous six was all about, right . To do so with hours before a Government Shutdown to try to put a kibosh on that unilaterally by pulling a fire alarm, i have got to tell you republicans better be disciplined. Get the evidence, look at the evidence make sure they go to the adjudication the right way. Dont just jump to the final conclusion yet. Go through that process but there is a still shot what im told theres a video of this happening. Lets see how it all plays out. Jobe sick. But how plays out with House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy. There are some republicans who have said they do not like this 45 day stopgap measure. Mats and gates in particular are public in a florida has said he wants to introduce legislation to vote on the speakers standing. His speakership. What do you think . He became spe speaker mccarty after nearly 15 boats or 15 votes or so for part of the promise was h are going to go through regular order of the house passes a budget and the 12 Appropriation Bills come to the floor what at a time and every member is given an opportunity to offer amendments. That has not happened. That should have started happening back in about may or so in order to get through it. Here they come up to the end of september say we have not had enough time despite the 45 week recess that we just had. And now we need another 45 days to go through that process. A lot of people arent buying it. There are a lot of people that look at that and say i dont think you ever planned to do that you were always going to do a crn omnibus. That is the What Washington has already worked. Guess what happened spending would up it didnt go down and thats why conservatives are frustrated, white there is a 33 trilliondollar debt at this point. What is going to change and 45 days . Nothing. I think a monday youre going to see it matched gates try to get that microphone get recognized by the chair and potentially call the chair. I dont know what happens from then. I dont think there is anybody else who can rally the support and has the support in order to be the speaker it will be the Drama Republicans likely will bring to the floor and make life difficult because they are upset Kevin Mccarthy did not live up to his promise he said he would do. Jon is a little bit of what matt gaetz had to say today. What would have been adult is putting up spending bills in the spring and the summer. That being the adult women would realize we should not have taken august outside of washington d. C. We shouldve been here in the nations capitol funding or government. So we are at this point because Kevin Mccarthy bit multiple contradictory promises about the budget topple into different groups of people made one to house conservatives in general to secure the position. He made another promise to present but emit a third promise altogether to house appropriators. Whether or not Kevin Mccarthy faces a motion to vacate is entirely within his control. All he had to do was comply with the agreement that he made with us in january. Jon obviously tempers are getting a little hot on capitol hill. Final thoughts congressman . If im at the time when they made that deal Kevin Mccarthy agreed to allowing a one person to call to vacate the chair. I said at the time i thought the numbers far too low should be 12 or 20 or Something Like that we are going to see that play out next week. Itjoits for six or eight days d former congressman for the state of utah thank you. Look forward to seeing you on the Big Weekend Show coming up at 7 00 p. M. Eastern time.

California it was once a symbol of american success, today under the radical left of fascist the marxist that run your state that is whos running our state. Bad people. Its becoming a symbol of the nations declined progress we have run into six or seven people that have gotten mugged. Theyrethere tell the stories at getting mugged because people in california these District Attorneys in San Francisco and los angeles, they get elected usually with funding from people like george. They decide they are progressive. And they do not agree with all the laws of pastor. I want californians to know is that all things are possible in this nation.

The california gop is in the process of finalizing a rule change for those delegates which would shift winner takes all approach. 50 the vote on super tuesday.

Jon are a bill melugin from california thank you. Corrected and think it could be done by the house passes a temporary Permit Spending Bill this afternoon. A Government Shutdown at midnight eastern is still in the carts at the u. S. Senate does not act by that deadline. That means pay could still be halted for thousands of Border Patrol agents just as fox news learns they encountered recordbreaking 260,000 migrants this month. Senior correspondent live at the border in eagle pass, texas for more. Correct jon, good evening for the previous record was actually set last december with more than 252,000 migrant encounters. For further context and perspective august italia it was close to 233,000. So for the month of september we are talking about 27000 additional migrants. Which ironically is about the entire population of this very community. At the community as you know is the epicenter of this crisis. Part of the del rio will day after day you see images like this. Migrants run down the banks of the Rio Grande River on the mexican side across the Waterway Climbing onto the u. S. Side. Larger groups form chains trying to navigate the swift moving waters. However they are not turned away at like the white house has insisted it would happen. Easy to see a click of these border towns and cities get overwhelmed. This has impacted the city of eagle pass it. Not only do have thousands of people coming into our community and it is affecting our local resources, pd and fire. Meantime about 220 miles to the south of us, that is stark county west of mcallen. The elite texas dps rangers Operation Group has begun clearing this island to set up Operational Security there. It is an island that had been under control by tcos for the transnational criminal organizations. So it worked frankly continues round the clock out here as the vicious cycle continues with the start of each day. Jon s casey thank you. Police announced a major break in a decades old cold case. An arrest made in connection with 1996 Shooting Death of rapper. The key clues that help Police Connect the dots, next. Jon an update on the top story. Eleventh hour effort by congress to avoid a Government Shutdown. A live look at capitol hill where we await a vote of the bipartisan Stopgap Spending Bill the house managed to pass about four hours ago. So now it is up to the senate to approve the temporary funding plan. Tensions are running high on both sides of the aisle whats in the bill and whats out too. For the congressman Matt Gaetz Threateninthreating to unseat kn mccarthy as House Speaker. Here is what mccarthy had to say about it. When are you guys going to get over its all right you put America First . Its all right if republican and democrats joint get together to do what is right. If somebody wants to make a motion against me, bring it. There has to be an adult in the room. I am going to govern with what is best for this country. I do not understand to understand that. I went 15 rounds for the same individual that voted against us even having a more conservative stopgap measure. The same individual who threatens that delayed us from getting her bills done. Did the same thing during the speakers race. That is okay, he has a right to do it. But i am going to be a conservative that gets things done for the american public. Jon going to be interesting to see it happens later tonight. And then it next week when lawmakers return to capitol hill. Las vegas police have made the first arrest in connection with rapper tupacs murder between davis was taken into custody charged with murder yesterday of more than 27 years after the driveby shooting that stunned the music world. Christina coleman live in los angeles to tell us more. Hi jon id b exclusive interview with bob one of the leading gang Homicide Detectives who invested this famous case back in 1986. He testified before a grand jury more than a month at a half ago. Multiple arrests during the 10 day gang or incompetent following tupacs murder were take a look at this photo. Tim brennan both lead on this case. They are standing by the mountain of evidence collected by police in the raid during that gang war triggered by the killing of tupac. Next we have seen people outside holding guns that we run in the house and we got a cachet of weapons. Like ak47s and ammo, all of this stuff because they are gearing up for this war. But all the players were for compton. So we had to deal the aftermath. All the shootings and murders that happened because of this. No arrests were made in tupacs murder for nearly three decades during part two in Immunity Deal selfproclaimed Gang Member Davis made with an fbi task force. So why the arrest now . Davis broke the deal by speaking publicly about his role in the shooting. His 2019 tell our memoir davis admitted to being inside the vehicle where the shots were fired from. Once he started shooting off his mouth saying on these youtube interviews and his book and everything else, once he started shooting off his mouth saying hey i was involved in the incident. They could use all that against him then. Police eight members of tupacs entourage Beat Up Davis nephew in a fight in vegas. And remand davis orchestrated the plan to kill tupac but he was just 25 years old at the time of his death. Authorities say he did not pull the trigger but he planned the attack these suspect 6yearold davis is now charged with murder. Finally a break in the case heres a reaction. It feels great. I could not believe i was so happy las vegas decided to go forward with it. Like i said 26 years ago we told him who did it and sure enough that is who they arrested for the case. Theyre Going Forward with the case. Davis remains in custody without bail but its expected to appear in court in the next few days. Jon a while, that case it seemed unsolvable for so long. Christina coleman thank you. Retail theft is raging out of control in major cities across the united states. The latest high Profile Incident took place in philadelphia with two nights of Organized Smash And Grab robberies. The big real tellers like apple store and legal limit along with smaller Liquor Stores as well. Meantime target announced it is closing nine stores in four states because of Safety Concerns over that same kind of retail theft. Lets break and a former toys r us ceo and Target Vice Chairman gerry. There were some arrests at the philadelphia smash and grabs. But it does not seemed like its doing much to dent the problem. Know that get us there were some arrests. But frankly we need to learn that these are not victimless crimes. They are Violent Crimes. Nknowledge of store employees bt customers. Bebeyond that there are severe consequences beyond some of the products being stolen. It took a lot of work to get these stories into some of these locations. Not only that but they are critical to the success of the urban areas. They provide places to buy groceries, to get pharmacies. They provide low priced products that are not available otherwise in these areas. They provide employment. When these stores are closed theres really very little left but it is terrible when this happens. It is snus just someone stole some seventh little crime but not before prosecuted for which is what some prosecutors and local jurisdictions seem to think that if the criminals do not go to jail this will continue. It is like a party for them it is free stuff. Would put up on screen the losses that retailers suffered most recent numbers from 2022. 112 billion worth of goods stolen. No Wonder Target has decided to close those nine stores in four states. They are seeing stuff walk out the door. Is not just target, walmart closed four stores in chicago earlier this year. Nordstrom closed up Flagship Store in downtown San Francisco. It is happening across the country in major cities. Again the consequences are severe. It is a Violent Crime. Keep that in mind it is violence in. We have to remember that. Sometimes people take it like its no big deal, the stores are Big Companies the Insurance Companies will pay. They are just hitting Big Companies are hitting Small Companies its a really big deal. Think about harlem losing a target store. What that means for the community. Its absolutely unacceptable that has to stop. Jon what do communities do to try to prevent this kind of thing . It really starts with the prosecutors, local governments. They have to prosecute people who commit these crimes and may actuactually spend some time in jail. They actually have to pay for it. Right now you have the old beretta song dont do the crime if you cant do the time. They are doing the crime they are not doing the time we have to change the mindset its okay to take some things. It is no big deal. It is a big deal because the consequences are so substantial. Beyond that we need more police in order to deal with it. Police can take care of this if ththey are allowed to boot frany the police and the stores are afraid to confront on the people selling the products because they do not want to have peoples cell phone say look the ststostore is being a violent te stopping or the police are doing the wrong thing. They are preserving the veneer of civilization in those pictures you look at them did they look like a civilized place to you . It looks like absolute mayhem and again it is a stop. Jon it is dangerous for the store employees even the shoppers. I have heard plenty of shoppers who look up the surveys to the buying more the internet they do known to deal with it. They do not want to be part of that when they go out to pick up a few items. Its easier to come to the door and keep the door locked into ready to open it. It is just no good. Some of this is organized crime and we need to go after that to to track down where the products are ending upraised lot are being stolen fence them through marketplaces on the internet. That will also help it. It would be nice to elect some District Attorneys who believe in putting these people in jail when they get caught doing this kind of stuff. Too many of them do not. Gerry were going to have to say goodbye. We appreciate gerry thank you. My pleasure. Still to come on fox report the audit Workers Union strike may be having a surprising impact in non union states.

Jon the auto Workers Union is ramping up its strike against two of detroits big three plants yesterday targeting ford and gm. The union spared us to lantus any further picketing after lastminute concessions. Jonathan is following the story for us. Hi jon. This week auto workers in michigan received visits not only from President Biden but former president trump. First biden taken the bullhorn at a picket line just outside of detroit to told a group of striking workers they deserved a substantial pay raise. The next day mr. Trump visiting a non Union Factory in another detroit suburb said the administrations efforts to the speed amer americas Transitiono Electric Vehicles will cost jobs spread that also plays to concerns of union workers. Think one of things you a debbies trying to do is we need to preserve some the jobs that might be lost because Electric Vehicles dont require as many people to build them. Nevertheless tax credits largely non Union Labor Force have attracted billions of dollars in Electric Vehicle investment to Southern States for Georgia Governor Brian Kemp expressed optimism and new opportunities will offset workforce disruptions. Our work force is shrinking. If you look at the baby boomers that are retiring and the workforce is aging out. We do not have enough workers as it is around the country. Its only going to get worse in the future at least in the near future. I am not too worried about people getting displaced from their job are there other opportunities out there in states like georgia and in the south. Georgia state o state officiy over the past five years georgia has attracted 25 billion, with a b, dollars and ev related investment that translates to approximately 30,000 new jobs, jon.
