Best for this country. I do intend to file a motion to vacation against Speaker Mccarthy this week. We need to rip off the band aid, move on with new leadership that can be trustworthy. Kevin mccarthy going head to head with Congressman Matt Gaetz after the House Speaker worked with democrats to avert a Government Shutdown. That decision leaves mccarthy politically vulnerable, so is the fate of his speakership now at the mercy of the democrats . Plus, hours from now, donald trump is scheduled to appear in court in manhattan for the start of a civil trial scrutinizing his business practices. Well break down whats at stake as the former president faces off against a judge who has already ruled that hes a fraud. And, California Governor Gavin Newsom names a successor to fill the seat held by the late senator, dianne feinstein.

Its civil fraud trial tomorrow. Who better to talk to than former trump lawyer, Michael Cohen.

We are waiting remarks from President Biden at any moment from the white house and when he is ready we will take that to you live. But, in the meantime, i just want to level set on what we have seen in washington over the last couple of days. One Republican Congressman said that the last week was, like quote, riding a mechanical bull. That is quite a visual, but pretty accurate. The president is going to weigh in after Congress Managed to pass a short term funding bill that will keep the government open for the next 47 days. Now, preventing a Government Shutdown is obviously good news. And so is the fact that the final bill did not include any of the devastating cuts to Domestic Violence programs that have been on
In the right direction. He warned the gopcontrolled house that chaos is no way to govern. It is time to end governing by crisis, and keep your word when you give it in the congress. A few months ago, after a long negotiation between myself and republican speaker of the house of representatives, we came to agree on a Budget Agreement precisely to avoid any manufactured crisis that we just witnessed. The last few days, and the weeks, extreme maga republicans have tried to walk away from that deal. I strongly urge my republican friends in congress to not wait. Dont waste time as you did all summer. Past the yearlong Budget Agreement, under the deal that we made a few months ago. New funding for Disaster Relief and important funding for the faa. It does not include new aid for ukraine, or money for republican backed immigration policies. Speaker Kevin Mccarthy had the compromise with the democrats in order to pull off a saturday surprise, guaranteeing they would get a separate vote on ukra

To a possible shutdown of the government. And vote expected to start any moment now. In the house. Kevin mccarthy put forward what he calls a clean Continuing Resolution to end a Shutdown Crisis that he created. Hoping democrats will be forced to vote for. It daring farright members to vote against. It and trying to throw the blame and the problem in the senate slap. Anybody who has watched what has been going on in the past few days knows that the senate did its job in a bipartisan way. I dont know what hes talking about, i have no idea what hes talking about. By the, way as you have these politicians bickering back and forth, millions of people who will be impacted by this potential shutdown, military, border urged, air traffic controllers, all willing to find out if their lives are gonna be upended. Yet again. Full coverage of
Hello, everyone. Good morning. It is saturday, september 30th. Im amara walker. And im omar jimenez. Youre in the cnn newsroom. The government is barrelling towards a shutdown with no solution in sight. Today is the last day for congress to pass a funding bill to keep the government open. You see the count down. Now the clock is ticking. Right now House Republicans are in a closed door meeting to try and come up with a last minute solution. But just last night House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy once again failed to pass a Stop Gap Bill in his chamber and now he is warning that the senate bill wont pass either, calling their bipartisan bill Dead On Arrival.
