Than a political side show. Could they go away altogether . The latest on donald trump calling for the gop to pull the Plug On Future Debates as he questions whether any of his opponents should even be Vice President. And is the shutdown a sure thing . President biden insists it isnt, but his hopes hinge on House Republicans, in his words, doing their job. And theyve got now less than three days to do it. So what happens next . Lots to talk about, but were going to start in washington where one small group perhaps ten conservative republican lawmakers are refusing to support any Stopgap Measure to keep the government from shutting down 59 hours from now. Instead, the far right is committing critical hours to an Impeachment Inquiry that a new poll shows most americans do not want, and not only is there little time or public appetite for this hearing, theres zero evidence to justify holding it. And of the three witnesses for the majority, none of them seems to have any evidence firsthand

afternoon on raising the debt ceiling. every republican senator is expected to fail that public sanity test. that is tonight s last word, 11th hour with brian williams, starts now. them starts now them well good evening, once again it s day 259 of the biden administration. tonight the, president trying to solve the mounting crisis, that threatens to push the u.s. and if fentanyl financial chaos. and the whole world is watching. biden and his team now have then less than two weeks, to figure out how to raise the nation s borrowing limit and avoid a first ever u.s. default. he has to do it without a republican vote, because that s who the republicans are now. they insist with a straight face that the democrats must act on their own, yet intend to blacked the latest effort tomorrow afternoon. they ve had plenty of time to
joins us from london. ainsley earhardt is outside the palace in helsinki. nigel, let s start with you. one of the things going forward knowing it is going to happen very shortly, the president s summit is that there have been a number of democrats here in the united states who have suggested well, after those 12 russian spies were indicted for meddling in our election, they shouldn t have the summit. what do you think let s be clear 12 russian spies have been found spying. it s what they do. they do it to us. we do it to them. it may not be very seemly, but it s how the world works. there is nothing in that other than a very strange coincidence of timing. it seems to me. look, the ultimate sanity test is ask somebody, do you want better relations between russia and the west or do you want them to continual to deteriorate? and anybody with half a brain will say do you know what? talking is better than not
