Look, the Sheriffs Office says the pair stole their mothers car after she took away their electronic devices. The mom drove three hours from her northport home to pick them up. Police say mom didnt pursue criminal charges. They are not behind bars. Im trying to think what my mom would do. I almost want to be behind bars. Right. Yeah, exactly. I cant imagine. 200 miles away. Why didnt they just go around the corner . It could have been two miles for me. It would have been the same result once i got home, right . Next hour of cnn this morning starts right now. Whats going on . Welcome to cnn this morning. Sunday, september 24th. Im omar jimenez. Im victor blackwell. Thank you for joining us. Here is what we are watching for you. Its time for republicans to start doing the job america elected them to do. Lawmakers up against the clock and desperately working on a deal to fund the government ahead of a looming shutdown. The warning coming from some of americas largest corporations about what a shutdown could do to the economy. Ophelia is moving inland. The areas were watching for more flooding and the threat for severe storms today. New jersey senator bob menendez is facing growing calls from his party to resign after his indictment on briery charges. How he is responding to the calls to step down even from politicians in his state. Hollywood executives say they have sent their best and final offer to writers as they work to end a strike that paralyzed the industry. What we are learning about how close they are to a deal. The Government Shutdown is ticking closer and closer and House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy still lacks the support from his party to avert one. A handful of Appropriation Bills are set to hit the House Floor Next week. Without the critical backing from several republicans, the Stopgap Measure is expected to be dead in the water. And some in the Republican Party worry the longer the hardliners hold out, the more power they are giving to the senate and the Biden Administration. Any of these efforts to delay or to hold out further empowers the senate, the democratic majority in the senate and further empowers the white house. Now President Biden is weighing in with less than a week left to go. Jasmine wright joins us from the white house. Jasmine, what is the president saying as capitol hill tries to figure out how to move forward . Reporter yeah, omar, President Biden is not mincing words. He called on republicans to start doing their jobs and avert a Government Shutdown. Now, he gave those remarks last night at a Congressional Black Caucus dinner after it seemed like saturday during the day not much progress was made by House Republicans trying to move forward and trying to avert a shutdown. So President Biden is, his remarks, he really slammed that group of republicans, basically a handful who are against a shorter Stopgap Measure to get the government funded short term so that longer discussions can happen and he accused republicans of trying to sow enough discord that they are willing to shut the government down. A few months ago, after long negotiations, myself and the new speaker, we agreed to spending levels the government will fund emention domestic and National Security priorities while still cutting the deficit by 1 trillion over the next decade. Now small group of Extreme Republicans dont want to live up to the deal. So now everyone in america could be forced to pay the price. Funding the government among those basic responsibilities of congress and its time for the republicans to start doing the job america elected them to do. Reporter now, those were strong words from the president there. But of course it will be difficult for republicans to do that because of their sharp party divisions. A question going into the next week is how or if President Biden is going to step in and try to help the effort. We know part of the week he will be on the west coast. Also in michigan. Now, on the senate side we know that Senate Democrats are moving with a measure that is likely to be finished before that friday deadline when the government would be no longer to fund itself, but question is whether or not they pass it. If it then goes to the house and whether or not the house decides to accept it and try to pass it or fight it leading into more discord. So, basically, the president , the white house, america, the economy, we are all basically hanging in the balance until the senate and house try to find some sort of resolution. Omar, victor. If its not figured out by this time next week, the government would be shut down. Thank you. Corporate america is worried about what a lengthy Government Shutdown could mean for americans. They are Warning Congress if a deal is not agreed to, then a shutdown could be far reaching across americas economy. Cnns matt egan walks us through their biggest concerns. Reporter ceos have a simple message for washington. Dont shut down the government. Business leaders, they know better and they are preparing for what they fear could be a long and chaotic shutdown. Executives say this is the last thing that the economy needs right now. On top of inflation and labor strikes, high costs, this would be one more headache. A selfinflicted one as that. Neil bradley told me we are deeply concerned. The concern is growing almost by the day. Once we are in a shutdown, there doesnt seem to be a clear path out. Another said we dont want the unpredictability. Its just not good for business. And thats a message echoed by other Business Leaders i spoke to. Economists say a shutdown should be manageable for the economy at large. Goldman sachs, a type any hit to gdp. History shows the stock market barely flinches during a Government Shutdown. Case in point. The s p 500 actually surged more than 10 during the record long shutdown that started in late 2018. Still, Government Shutdown would cause real world negative consequences. For example, federal workers deemed nonessential, they would get furloughed. Air Traffic Controllers and tsa officers would have to work without pay threatening Travel Delays across the country. Thats why the u. S. Travel Association Estimates a shutdown would cost the Travel Economy as much as 140 million a day. Food safety inspections bit the fda could be delayed. National parks may suffer Staffing Shortings if they are not closed all together. This is interesting. A key Economic Indicator on inflation and unemployment would be interrupted. That would leave the Federal Reserve flying blind, at least somewhat, as it makes major decisions on interest rates. Publicly, Business Groups are urging republicans and democrats to come together to keep the government open. Privately, though, there is growing frustration that republicans, as house gop Infighting Spuls out into the open, regardless of who is blamed, hopefully, if there is a shutdown, its a brief one. Better yet, no shutdown at all. Victor and omar. Matt, thank you. Joined by the president of the Nonpartisan Committee for responsible federal budget, my ya i cant mcginniss. Good morning to you. I read the transcript of an interview you did back after the diehl fight predicting wed be on the brink now at the end of september. Considering all that we have heard, even the reporting from capitol hill, are you convinced that we are headed towards a shutdown . I am not convinced at all. I am gravely worried we are. I still think there is a path out of here. I do think just the fact that we are talking about a shutdown is a failure in so many ways. In a few months after we were talking about a worse scenario, defaulting. The reason is i think this isnt even republican versus democrat and house versus senate. This is a moment where we need to be showing the rest of the world that we are able to govern and the fact that we cant fund our own government and are possibly going to shut down is really a warning sign to others that the u. S. Doesnt have its act together. So thats the problem as i see it. It happens whether we shut down or not. You said that the Budget Process is fundamentally broken. It is 7 00 a. M. On a sunday morning. So im going to ask you to explain this in the cleanest way possible. What needs to be fixed, without going too deep into the weeds . Okay. Does everyone have their coffee . The point is that in order to get the budget back on track, we have to actually pass budgets. The House Budget Committee just passed their budget many months late. The Senate Budget commit never bothered to do so. We have a big deal around the debt ceiling where we put in place some top line spending numbers. Right now we have the house saying those are caps, we want to go low, but they cant what to do and the senate has busted through the caps and is spending 14 billion above what the caps are. What we need is to put in place a fiscal blueprint that starts by passing broad parameters of a budget. It needs have reasonable metrics. That means it doesnt let the debt grow unmanaged, which is where we are now and why there is a big focus on this issue. And we need things like auto crs, continuing resolutions, so we dont have the possibility of shutting down. If they cant agree on an actual budget, then we would just continue to fund the government at last years levels. We need to put backup processes in place. We know the polarization is so bad and the lawmakers around able to compromise and get things down. We need backfill so we are not at these huge brinksmanship fights. When democrats were in control of the house, republicans were critical of the omnibus process, just one massive piece of Legislation North of a 1 trillion, passing all these at once, instead of 12 individual appropriations bills, as they are attempting to do now. Is that latter process still possible considering what we are watching in this fight, instead of the omnibus that the democrats led through when they passed these Funding Bills . I think they have demonstrated both the house and the senate that they are not going to be able to pass 12 individual appropriations. And certainly not at the cap levels that were set as part of the debt ceiling deal. The fact that we havent passed them in so many years is another sign our basic Budget Process is broken. Republicans are right to say ominouses are por policy. They keep us from evaluating what is works, evaluate ourg National Prior toes, figuring out how to pay for things that the basic exercise of budgeting is supposed to require. So omnibuses are terrible policy. My guess is at the end of the this calendar year, right now we are dealing with the end. Fiscal year, comedies i wouldnt be surprised if we had another omnibus. Here is a warning. If we get through this Government Shutdown. There is a chance we face a Shutdown Scenario again in december. We have to work through these things and come to an agreement and get on to the issues that governing involves, not these brinksman ships and deals. The potential damage to the private sector, what the Business Community is concerned about if there is a shutdown, is there damage to the government, to the public sector, beyond reputational that we keep coming to this brink and potentially going into shutdowns . Its interesting. In order when we have a Government Shutdown, we define who the essential workers and programs are. In the end, most of the things that affect people in their daily lives continue uninterrupted. National defense is still there. People get their associate security checks. The government is doing the core functions. There are huge disruptions if you have a plan to a National Park, you will be angry about this. In most ways, its not a big disruption and it has a small effect on the economy in the short term. But those programs start again, most of that money is actually made up in the Second Quarter after you open. So its very disruptive, very disruptive for government workers, for people who are trying to plan and make longterm Strategic Decisions for contractors who may not get paid. Ultimately, i would say the real problem with a shutdown isnt just those disruptions or the cost. It really is about the signal we are sending around the world and we have take a look that if the u. S. Wants to remain the strongest country in so many different ways, we have to actually demonstrate how you govern, how you make decisions, how you are fiscally responsible, things that are neglected in the Budget Process right now. A few days left to make a deal at least on potentially a continuing resolution so we dont run out much money. Maya mcginniss, thank you so much for your time. Back on the picket lines and back to the table. Today Hollywood Studios and writers in the final phase of negotiations to end the strike. They are meeting with the heads of four major studios. Camilla bernal has more on the negotiations from los angeles. Reporter this is what writers have been waiting to hear for about five months now. Wga negotiators and Hollywood Studios in the final phase of negotiations. According to my colleague oliver darcy, it could come by the end of the weekend. So very soon. The two parties spent Saturday Negotiating for the fourth consecutive day and sources telling cnn that while the heads of the four major studios, including warner bros. Discovery, cnns parent company, nbcuniversal, disney and netflix, they were no longer in in the room on saturday but they were engaged in that negotiation process. Now, this strike that has paralyzed the Entertainment Industry has had a Major Economic impact. Some estimates indicate 5 billion in an Economic Impact and this has affected not just hollywood but many, many other industries. A lot of the writers that i talked to said we are ready to return to work. But after a teal is reached between these two parties, wga members still have to ratify the new contract and furthermore, because the actors are also on strike, a deal doesnt necessarily mean that all productions will go back to normal. Some in the industry believe that a deal with the writers could speed up that process for the sagaftra negotiations. Overall, its been very difficult over the last few months for the people that the industry. And so now hope is finally in the horizon. Victor, omar. Thank you.

Arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower Respiratory Disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. Rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. But im protected. Arexvy is proven to be over 82 effective in preventing lower Respiratory Disease from rsv and over 94 effective in those with these health conditions. Arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. Those with weakened Immune Systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. The most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. I chose arexvy. Rsv . Make it arexvy. My brain. So i choose new neuriva ultra. Unlike some others, it supports 7 brain health indicators, including Mental Alertness from one serving. To help keep me sharp. Try new neuriva ultra. Think bigger. Charges against him and his wife. He is facing a growing chorus of voices within his pone party to resign from the senate. He stepped down from his position on the Senate Foreign relations committee. Congressman kim announced he plans to challenge menendez for his seat in the next election. Joining me to discuss, brent johnson, political reporter for the new jersey starledger. Thank you for taking the time. Good to see you. I want to start with governor phil murphy. He wrote the facts are so serious they compromise the ability of senator menendez to effectively represent the people of our state. Therefore, i am calling for his resignation. Thats similar to what we heard from other top state democrats. You wrote it sounds like the beginning of a long and nasty political stalemate for a suddenly new jersey troubled democratic party. What do you mean by that . Bring us into your world here. Well, new jersey is a state run almost entirely by democrats all levels of government. They have been the party in power many years. This shook the core of the party. Menendez has easily won throughout his time in the senate and they stood by him seven years ago when he was charged on corruption charges the first time. Something that didnt end up he didnt end up getting convicted. This time is different. It took a few hours for democrats to make this decision. A number of top officials in the state came out and said it was final for him to step down. So this has shaken politics in the state. And one of your points there, i think thats one of the most interesting things, i mean, this is the second time senator bob menendez has been hit with corruptionrelated charges it ten years. What is different about the charges this time around where some of those same allies that were standing by him are now saying this may be a step too far . I was speaking to democratic officials in the state privately. They were saying behind the scenes they were shocked at the breadth of these charges. They see gold bars and searches for google for what a gold bar is worth. Pictures of money stuffed into a jacket. It was much more alluring and controversial. You could really see things this time. And also his poll numbers in new jersey had already started to go down as there were whispers of investigation in recent months. It felt different this time. And, well, obviously, you know, whats come out in the indictment is something that people outside of new jersey are reading and maybe getting a glimpse of for the first time as far as new jersey politics, but while he is a sitting u. S. Senator, he rents tnew jersey. New jersey isnt new to corruption or alleged corruption. So contextualize this case within cases the state has seen in the past and why this indictment may stand out. Well, new jersey is a state with a cliche, the joke is, along with illinois, few states are as corrupt. We have had cases of top politicians charged with similar things and indicted. This is different. This is a sitting u. S. Senator. Its the second time he has faced an indictment. Again, it was the culmination of everything coming together. There is visuals. There is pictures. The allegations are widespread or are wide ranging. It felt laike democrats felt different. Its a state known for corruption, but this really stands out. I was going to say, i worked in illinois before this and i feel like illinois and new jersey have that bond, unfortunately, for folks in those states. Last thing i want to ask before we go. Congressman andy kim said he is going to launch a challenge against senator menendez. How serious is that . What does that mean symbolically that he is stepping into the race here . One, it happened the day after these were announced. There wasnt a lot of waiting. He jumped right into the fold. The fact that a sitting democratic congressman is challenging a sitting u. S. Senator, democratic u. S. Senator, means a lot, especially in a state where democrats are in control. It means there is chaos in the house. You dont count bob menendez out. He beat charges before. He has had a long career at every level of government. If anybody would fight this, bob menendez is the kind of person who would stand up. Thats the posturing he has had so far, saying he is not going anywhere. We will see. Thank you.

Five things to watch this week. President biden will travel to michigan tuesday where he is expected to walk the picket line with striking auto workers. This historic appearance underscores the political implications of the strike which is entering its second week. More than 50,000 Hospitality Workers could walk off the job in las vegas. The culinary and bartenders unions scheduled a strike vote for tuesday as they negotiate with casino and Hotel Employees for a new fiveyear deal because they are currently working under expired contracts. They have the option to strike whenever they choose. The second republican president ial debate will be held in california this week and so far six of the candidates say they have qualified and had be on the debate stage. It could be a makeorbreak moment as polls continue to show former President Trump with a commanding lead, although he didnt participate in the first debate. New jersey senator bob menendez scheduled to appear in court on wednesday after being indicted on federal bribery charges. As we mentioned, menendez facing growing calls from his party to resign. He maintained his innocence. And the big one this week, the potential for a Government Shutdown. If lawmakers cannot reach a deal, the government will run out of money at 11 59 p. M. Saturday. If a shutdown occurs, nonessential federal workers would be furloughed, National Parks and monuments would close, and we could see impacts to National Food and Housing Assistance programs. So much to keep an eye on, including Storm Ophelia is winding down, but not before leaving a mess and flooding behind on the east coast. Cnns Paolo Sandoval in new jersey with a look at the conditions. Reporter ophelia will continue to impact millions of americans, specifically throughout parts of the northeast into sunday as the remnants of this storm will continue to affect states like new york, potentially up to maine, according to meteorologists, and even here in the state of new jersey where on saturday we saw businesses up and down that the boardwalk shudder, close the doors because of the storm. Officials closed off access to the Beach Section hoping to deter individuals from actually accessing some of the coastline here. In fact, if you look in the distance, you can see some of those waves and what it looked like on saturday here as authorities do continue to expect these conditions or similar conditions to continue into sunday. But they certainly are hopeful that they wont be as bad as what we experienced earlier in the week. Back to you. All right. Allison chinchar is here now. We see the wind challenging polo there, creating damage, causing problems, but there is still more ahead. Tell us about it. Yeah, especially the rain. The rain is really going to be the big component of this moving forward. You have still got rain bands sliding across new jersey and pennsylvania, new york, even into massachusetts. We are starting to see it finally beginning to wrap up across virginia. Virginia and North Carolina have had very impressive Rainfall Totals from this storm. Hartford, virginia, picking up over five and a half inches, portsmouth, virginia, raleigh, North Carolina, picking up four inches of rain. For raleigh, its done. Now the flood theft shifts north, erkz new jersey, delaware, maryland, will be the concerns for coastal flooding today. The system is eventually going to push back out over open water, but really not until later into the day monday. That means from until then you have got all of Those Heavy Rain Bands that continue to make their way across the northeast. So at of these areas two to four inches of rain total finishing the day monday. You have that system there. We are also keeping an eye on a potential for severe storms in the central u. S. Several ongoing, a severe Thunderstorm Watch already this morning across the arklatex region. More of those are going to continue, but they shift a little bit farther south and east. The main target today and Monday Morning Dallas All The Way towards san antonio, also includes northwestern louisiana. Places like shreveport. The main concern and biggest threats with this particular storm are going to be damaging winds, the potential for some large hail and, yes, an isolated tornado or two is not out of the question to perhaps get a Tornado Watch maybe at some point later today or even a subsequent severe Thunderstorm Watch like the one we have right now that could possibly extend into some other places. The timeline for most of these stories is going to be or storms is going to be late this afternoon and continuing through the evening hours. Okay. Thank you, allison.

What difference do you think she made . I think its just huge. And i think 50 years from now, 100 years from now, if there are history books, holograms, whatever kids are studying, Megan Rapinoe will be a part of that conversation because that equal pay battle, which was finally resolved with the splitting of the prize money equally with the mens National Team, with u. S. Soccer, that was in may of 2022, that was really a watershed moment not just in sports, and not just for women, but throughout our culture, that the most famous of all National Team, the u. S. Womens National Soccer team, certainly the most famous womens team, they could get that achieved that they could have equal pay and be respected and honored the same way as the men as weve seen, of course, with the spanish saga and scandal there the last month and a half or so, seen that that is really difficult. For the u. S. To do that a full year before is amazing. So thats Megan Rapinoes legacy. She had teammates in that, omar, but certainly was a spokesperson and just unflinching in her ability to play the game and go in depositions and fight for herself and those that come after her. I dont think anyone doubts she is a fighter. She described herself as a walking protest. She showed sol dare which with colin kaepernick, kneeled on field. Reduced to go to the white house after the world cup. There were americans who are rooting for team usa to lose. Why is Megan Rapinoe so unique . Thats true. It really happened. Hard to believe, 2019, there were people wanting the u. S. To lose, americans, and then again, actually, of course in 2023. Thats another conversation. Unbelievable. But i think what is happening is Megan Rapinoe is willing to speak out, willing to speak her mind, willing to tell people what she thinks and take stands for things that are important to her. There are other athletes who have done that and they are the ones we remember. Yes, goals are important. Yes, passes. Of course, the amazing play, the gold medals, the two world cups she has. The titles. Of course, that never goes away. But the enduring legacy, the lasting achievement, in my opinion, is what you have done off the field to help others. And when the president of the United States in this case donald trump is actually going after an athlete wearing the red, white and blue on foreign soil representing the United States, well, we have never seen that before. Imagine Ronald Reagan or george w. Bush doing that. Of course the no. When trump did that, took her on, she said, okay, ill meet you there. Ill take you on. And was remarkable. While she was and while she was fighting that battle, shes leading the u. S. To victory in that world cup. A remarkable achievement. And winning all the awards in france in 2019. I think as historic achievements go on the field of play, omar, that, Megan Rapinoe, world cup, might be up there with almost anything else. But she speaks her mind. People dont want to hear it. Shell keep saying it. And some would say that success in soccer was what led before. Essentially allowing them the leverage to make the gains that they did, as difficult as it was. My question is, do you think it ever became a distraction, especially this past world cup . You know, theres certainly people who wondered. You know, megan is also 38 years old. So shes not, you know, shes on the other end, a little bit older than most of the players, and certainly past her prime a little bit in terms of soccer. I think the fact that a goal or a shot doesnt go in, a penalty kick, as we remember, she missed, you know, that was tough against sweden in the round of 16, when the u. S. Bowed out, the worst performance ever. I dont know. If youre singing the National Anthem or standing at attention, which they all did, no was n kneeling, no one was looking anything other than attentive, whether they were singing or not. This team has been able to multitask, and theyve won world cups and olympic gold medals while doing that. This goes back to 99 and the fisherman of randi chastain. Theyve been fighting battles all the way along. Some are looking for that as an answer. But i think that they are able to do many things at the same time and do it better than almost anyone else on earth. And the u. S. Should be celebrating this team. And you dont win everything, of course, as we know. And as much attention as she got off field and she still won two world cups, olympic gold medal, over 200 international appearances, over 60 goals. Were losing a major competitor as well. Weve got to leave it there. Christine brennan, thank you. Chef jose andres is taking his three daughters on a culinary adventure through his spanish homeland.
