Today, House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy said he is unsure if the proposed shortterm funding manager will have enough votes to pass. The deal would keep military and va funding at current levels while cutting other domestic spending by 8 . There is no mention of more money for ukraine. Something President Biden is pushing for. It also includes southern border measures which democrats are unlikely to support. A growing number of republicans have also voiced opposition to the deal. Our political analyst larry joins us now. We do this fairly often, it seems. This is right now. Republican against republican in the house. Do i have that right . There are three big numbers to think about. Four and that is the margin replicants have over democrats. They can only use four boats. That is not very money out of 435. 12 is the number of far right republicans. Freedom caucus folks who say we want nothing to do with this because are minimal and 17 is the number of republicans who are elected in democratic districts who fear they will lose everything if the cuts go through. That is what set the table. It is the Freedom Caucus of republicans against the more general republicans. Yes. And they had an agreement here for 30 days to do this together and it broke down last night. Why . It broke down because the people who made the agreement were really representative of all of the factions. People got together and lets have a party put together the agreement. That is just for a 31 day continuation. That is all it is for. Not the budget, per se. Get to go back overnight and what are you talking about . We want nothing to do with this. Reporter you could go on for two hours but one of what are some of the sticking points it could collapse over . Border protection is one thing we talked about. Healthcare is another thing. Entitlement programs. All of these things will be cut by a percent. Farm support is another thing. The list is endless. And just about everything as janelle wang said a minute ago, except for defense and veteran affairs. Should this manage to secure enough votes, what are the changes we will see and will the senate go along . We are just talking about the house. We are just talking about the 31 days to get to the real budget. That is the thing. The chances of the senate going along with this are between slim and none. And you know were slim went. It is impossible. The senate has voted in a very bipartisan way for the budget. A very robust budget. Republicans and democrats agreed on it. Only a handful didnt and they are saying to the house, you want to get all of these cuts in, just so we can get to a 31 day delay period. No way. They are going to reject it flat out which gets us back to square one and what does mccarthy do . What does the Freedom Caucus want out of all of this talk so that is the bottom line. They are holding, seemingly a lot us hostage. They want a minimum of 120 billion in cuts. In cuts. Selected is right. That means they dont include 24 billion that the president has asked for ukraine. They do not include 60 billion that he asked for maui and other disaster relief. Those things off of the table. You are talking about some situations that are so different. Likely they will not get what they are asking for, so why do this . Just to stand up for representatives . The idea is for republicans to at least put something on the table. So far there is nothing going on the table. Just lot of food throwing. And unless they can come to some terms between now and the end of the month, that is 12 days from now, we will see the Budget Shutdown that nobody likes to talk about. The government shutdown.

A study published in the journal science advances takes a look at the health of the earth. Scientists examine everything from our waters to our air and our soil and they concluded that the earth is in trouble. The health of our oceans and hair is worsening. However, we are making progress. When it comes to the ozone layer, it is slowly beginning to restore itself. The rebuild and repair the historic work gets underway this week. Crews begin construction following a groundbreaking that last friday earlier this year, remember our big storm waves crushed sections of the wharf causing millions of dollars of damage to coastal businesses were also devastated both structurally and economically. The warfront will include new decking, pilings, railings and permanent public restrooms. It should be can pleaded by late next year. It is a big undertaking there. For sure. Summer is the most over. This is the last week and that means whale watching season is nearly upon us. One of the busiest place at the recent years has been the moderate bay. Both killer whales and hung back weltman spotted in the bay and they can be there around, but they swarmed to the monterey area in the fall as antilles move up the coast. Warm waters from el nino are also bringing large pods of the dolphins into the monterey bay. If you want to catch a glimpse, it is just a road trip away. You dont have to travel far to alaska or hawaii to see wales. We truly have the greatest Marine Mammals on the entire planet here in monterey bay. Whale watching tours are happening every day right now and the monterey bay. Two things stuck out of the story. They are here for the anchovies and it is the last week of summer. Yes.

It may have felt like a day off, but when the you are headed outside for a little bit, because it was enjoyable, just soaking in every single second. Right now in san jose we have blue skies. 77 degrees. A bit of a breeze out of the north northwest at 14. We hold on to 73 7 00 and we get down to the 50s later on tonight. The weather pattern as you roll through the week is multilayered. There is a lot happening here in the atmosphere. As you can see on the weather map, the big thing for us at this point is that it will keep any kind of hot air way back towards the desert southwest. We have a system in tonight and tomorrow moving over california. A second one wednesday and thursday just to the north and then a third one by friday and saturday moving in from the south. No big rain chances for us, but if you are headed up to the sierra, expect on and off chances of thunderstorms heading all the way through the week from the different systems. Really it is going to mean the fog is back here as a roll through tomorrow morning. The forecast is pretty widespread in the cloud cover. Up to the north bait, east bay, south bay and at the coast. And we have the afternoon sunshine coming back with some of the fog at the beaches. The morning temperatures will actually be a little bit colder. I do think a lot of you may need a light jacket if you are up around 6 00 or 7 00 in the morning. We are down to 57 in the peninsula. Look at you over the north bay. An average of 53. Right there through San Francisco we will be at 56. Temperatures for tomorrow, we are cruising in with some amazing weather. The south bay temperatures are at 79 in gilroy. 80 in milpitas. 80 in san jose. Over to the east bay we have more of that as well. And yet, concord and pleasanton can be the warmest locations. You are all in the low 80s tomorrow. Again near the bay 73 in hayward. 79 in fremont. Peninsula, 76 in redwood city and 65 and the marina. Across the north bay 87 in clearlake andover towards napa at 79. We had a lot of blue skies today. I think we may see a bit of hayes living in from some wildfires to the north for parts of the bay area. We still have fires burning in oregon right now and the smith rather complex in northern california, only 29 compared contained in that is over 80,000 acres. There is the smoke right there heading through tomorrow morning and then it kind of moves a little bit closer here. I now i am looking at moderate air quality for the north bay. The rest of the bay area should be good. In the north bay you may need to limit your exposure if you are supersensitive and you notice that. Otherwise, doing any traveling, we have storms in acoma city and really not too hot on the map. 81 in atlanta. 94 in dallas. On the sevenday forecast in Sanford Cisco, the 60s are staying steady. We like to see that because as we keep the morning fog pattern in place, it does help to keep the fire danger down. We will get breezing editions wednesday and thursday 15 to 30 miles per hour. I will take a closer look at the wind coming up tonight at 6 00. And then followed around the corner. 11 50 at night. Lets throw the party.

It all started yesterday afternoon at joint based charleston south carolina. The air force says a pilot was flying the south 35 jet when he reported what he called a mishap.
