you don't own pads like that, do you? >> i was a basketball guy. i couldn't take hits like those in football. it's not my game. >> you are still tough. >> i want someone to call foul if i get hit. good morning. welcome to "cnn this morning." i'm amara walker. >> i'm omar jimenez in for victor blackwell. we have lot to talk with. >> so glad you are back. it is back to work this week for lawmakers on capitol hill and with the dwindling number of days, their to-do list is quite long. can they avoid a government shutdown? >> a major question. also, right now tens of thousands of people are stuck in the desert at the burning man festival after a rainstorm turned the site into a mud pit. people are being told to shelter in place. amazon's ceo tells employees to get back in the office or their days may be numbered. they are not alone. we talk to an expert about whether whizzes and their employees can find some common ground. and college sports before to look a whole lot different. so savor it. a conference shake-up will change the land shape from coast co to coast. what it means for some of the biggest rivalries. and we begin this morning with congress preparing to return from their august break. and they are facing several critical deadlines and a dwindling number of days to get it done. senators are back in d.c. tuesday followed by the house the following week. >> president biden has two priorities for their return to capitol hill. the most pressing being preventing a partial government shutdown. the biden administration is urging lawmakers to avoid that by passing a short-term spending bill. biden's other key issue is for congress to provide more funding to fema's disaster relief program. both are sure to be hard fought as most things are these days for the white house. >> jasmine wright joining us. weren't we just talking about -- we are not at a potential government shutdown yet, but you feel like we have to talk about this, you know, every quarter or so. what is the latest in terms of the short-term spending bill? obviously, a lot of disagreements between democrats and republicans and what is the white house doing to speed this process up, because, again, there is this very short window. >> yeah, well, president biden made it quite clear that he w wants congress to pass a short-term funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, but also to protect the american people. now, september 30th, that deadline where the government would run out of money is really marching close and close and closer. from the white house's perspective, it's crunch time where they want to see something passed so that longer discussions can take place in the future. the white house to speed the process up sent over a list of anomalies, issues that would be disrupted if they are not written into a funding bill. now, the budget office and the white house has identified several sectors, including things like food aid to women, infacts, children, rental insurance, key priorities for the biden administration. but where the problem comes in is that, you're right, great disagreement between democrats and republicans sperkically house republicans that want to see deep cuts. now, there is such deep cuts that to this point democrats and the white house have largely ignored them, but, obviously, we are getting closer to the deadline so they can no longer do so. we heard from the white house press secretary who said that house republicans need to live up to the ep of their bargain that they made after they voted to raise the debt ceiling really enacting these spending cuts that now need to be funded. take a listen. >> this is that congress can do. they can prevent a government shutdown. this this doesn't take away their job and duty and keep their word. all we are doing is asking them to keep their word. >> now, in terms of what the white house has been doing, we know that director young and other people in the president's legislative affairs office have been making ongoing calls to the hill. that will continue. and we know in terms of the house leaders and senate leaders, we know house speaker kevin mccarthy, senate leader chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell, minority leader, all voiced some interest in passing short-term funding but that says nothing about the raupg e rank and file. in terms of schedule, you're right, time is very limited. the senate is back on september 5th but they really only have six full days in the senate until cement 30th. the house is back september 12th, making that month shorter, the sprint this that he they had into avoid a government shutdown even faster. >> jasmine wright, thank you. and in addition to the short-term spending bill, president biden is calling for the bill that he is calling for, asking for $16 billion in funding for fema, including 4 billion for the disaster relief fund. >> the president, along with the first lady, toured the devastation left behind by hurricane idalia in florida. they were there on saturday. while biden was on the ground, he vowed to help rebuild communities damaged by the storm. cnn's isabel rosales explains why the president is dedicated to the recovery process. >> reporter: president biden on the ground in live oak, florida, a community under 7,000 people. one of the communities hard hit, especially this county, suwannee county, by this hurricane. the most powerful hurricane to hit the big bend area of florida in over 100 years. and we saw the president surrounded by his wife, first lady jill biden, and also the fema administrator, deanne criswell. he delivered remarks showing his commitment to supporting the people of florida, saying that the federal is there to support them in any which way they need. speaking to the federal resources helping out residents who have had damage or lost homes and businesses. also the national guard, who have delivered millions of meals and the federal search and rescue crews on ground with those efforts right after the storm hit. he also surveyed the aftermath of this hanukkah from up in the air during an aerial tour, seeing the thousands of homes that were damaged from this hurricane, and also with a walking tour, speaking with survivors, their stories they shared with the president, and he also thanked personnel, first responders, linemen that are restoring the energy to this area, and other personnel like what we're seeing right here at this point of distribution. this is actually florida state guardsmen right now that are packing up these cars with items to help give them some comfort, food, water, ice, tarps to help in that recovery process. the president thinking individuals like this and also florida republican senator rick scott, who he said was there to inform him, keep him up to date on what's happening here in his community. here's what else the president had to say. >> these crises are affecting more than -- more and more americans and every american rightly expects fema to show up when they are needed and to help in a disaster. so i'm calling on the united states congress, democrats and republicans, to ensure funding is there to deal with the immediate crises as well as long-term commitments to the safety and security of the american people. >> reporter: the one person we didn't see next to president biden is florida governor ron desantis. a spokesperson for his office saying there were no plans in place for the governor to meet up with biden while he was here in florida. that same spokesperson also saying, quote, in these rural communities and so soon after impact, the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts. this comes to a contradiction as to what president biden said on friday, saying he was expecting to meet up with governor desantis. also fema administrator criswell told cnn there was, quote, tremendous coordination between the white house and the governor's office about all of this, and that they mutually had agreed on a place with minimal impact to operations. as we saw, there was no governor desantis next to president biden while he was here in the sunshine state. amara, omar. >> isabel rosales, thank you. we are expecting a judge to rule soon on mark meadows' push to move his georgia election subversion case to federal court. he is arguing that everything he did to overturn his boss' 2020 election loss were partis his job. joey jackson is with us now. joey, i want to start on that last point that mark meadows took the stand last week. he argued his actions regarding the 2020 election were a part of his duties as white house chief of staff. do you think that's a convincing case here? >> omar, good morning to you. it could be. here's why. as a chief of staff and assistant to the president, his argument is that, look, i have a boss. i follow orders from the president of the updates. the president had a good faith belief that there was criminality in this, as we look at mark meadows there, the chief of a staff, and as a result i was carrying out my function as a role, as a government official. certainly prosecutors have a lot to say to that, saying, nonsense, you were acting as a private actor, not on behalf of the president and as a result you were conspiring to upend and overt over overturn an election. as a result of that, you certainly should not have a removal, right, which would mean removing to federal court because your actions were within the state's jurisdiction and you were acting in your private capacities. those are the dueling arguments. the judge asked for additional briefing if any one of mr. meadows' actions were related to thinks duties, can i remove it. the attorneys briefed the prosecution and defense attorneys and so the judge has a lot to mull over in making a decision but he certainly has a strong argument, mark meadows does, with respect to removing it to federal court. >> yeah, and, look, we are waiting on this decision from the judge. but if the u.s. district judge rules to remove meadows' case to federal court, i mean, this isn't happening in a vacuum. there are a lot of other cases. a lot of overlapping evidence and circumstances that prosecutors and defense attorneys are combing through. how consequential would moving this to federal court be for trump and some of the other defendants tied to this case? >> yeah, so, it's an unknown how it would affect the others. but certainly it would give the indication -- and again i think the prosecutors want it limited to the argument that mr. meadows is making. mr. meadows has a very clear argument to the extent that he was working in the capacity, right, of a person who was working directly for donald trump, who believed at that time that there were things amiss with the election. to your question, i think prosecutors will say, listen, this is limited to him. it's not limited to the others. everyone is not similarly situated. different people, you know, not everyone has the argument. there are a few that do. and so to the extent that it would affect them, that's an open question, specifically what were the other parties doing, are they similar to what mr. meadows was doing. i think he has the clearest path to the extent that the president was directing and orchestrating his activities. if you say no, you're fired. so i don't know that just because or if he were removed that would havage immediate impact on mr. trump, any of the other government officials and certainly not on others that were disconnected from any federal government role or working for the government in any capacity. >> one thing that will have an immediate impact when it comes to trump is the fulton county judge ruling the trial could be criminalized. the public will actually see. we have talked about this before. what do you think the impact of that will be, and do you think trump could use this to his advantage? >> you know, omar, i think that it's certainly beneficial to have a trial that's televised. here's why. when you have the government going after anyone, you want to ensure the government, state or federal in that regard, that they are doing it appropriately. that they have compelling evidence, that the prosecution is warranted, that there was a conspiracy t that there were illegal acts. the public should know that. there needs to be transparency. as a result of that, it would rebut prosecutors would believe any indication this is a witch hunt, this is a false prosecution, that this is simply political, and so i think allow everyone to take a look and people can make their own judgments and really, i know, decide on their own with respect to whether it's warranted or not. in terms of trump, he could use this to do say, look, i'm being prosecuted, persecuted, it's unfair. prosecutors will fall back and say we have this corroboration. we gave an indictment which was the accusation. here is the proof that these things were happening. we have to build into democracy. we have to believe in democracy. prosecutors will say that, and people need to be held accountable when they upend them. i think there is something for both parties in the event the matter were televised. >> and if the timeline holds out, this will play out in the middle of an election season. that transparency could be crucial for the american public to see. joey jackson, thank you. good to see you. tens of thousands of people are literally stuck in the mud and trapped at the very popular burning man festival. this after some rain swamped camp sites in nevada's black rock desert. thick ankle-deep mud is making it impossible to walk or drive. >> rained quite a bit for the desert and created a mucky, muddy, terrible environment. you could barely walk. vehicles made it impassable. the whole festival and the 70-ish thousand people had to stay put. >> no one is allowed in or out at this point and it's unclear how many people are stranded. as you heard from the gentleman there, the festival typically draws about 70,000 people and everyone is being told to conserve water, food, and fuel. the mess was caused by an inch of rain, 0.5 inch of rain. this area is used to seeing that in three months, not just a few hours. and next hour we are going to talk to the operations commander for burning man. meanwhile, rain isn't the only thing hampering labor day plans. the heat will be cranked up all over the central u.s.'s holiday weekend with record-breaking temperatures once again. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar tracking all of this. including the rain that disrupted burning man. we are talking about half-inch of rain that did that? >> yeah, well, again, that's normal for this type of -- this part of the country. again, this is video actually from river rock canyon yesterday. what you are supposed to see is the city of las vegas. but this was yesterday. wave after wave of rain just coming in across this area. it wasn't just las vegas. much of the southwest-experienced some very heavy showers, the same at the burning man festival. today more of that shifts farther north. elko, salt lake city and boise under flood watches as more rain is anticipated to slide across these areas this afternoon and into the evening. this morning could end up having a few rounds of showers and thunderstorms pushing through. the eastern half of the country, the main focus is going to be the heat. you have heat advisory

wichita, all highs in the 90s. about 10 to 20 degrees above normal. it will be records likely in a lot of those places and they are one of many. 150 records possible starting today through thursday of

>> well, thank you for having me this morning. it's great to be here. and i will tell you with rto mandates, it feels a little bit more like groundhog day than labor day. indeed, employers like amazon are double down. here is the challenge. old work models were already becoming obsolete and more flexibility. covid simply accelerated a trend already underway. it was a crisis-driven execution. we now have the opportunity to be more strategic and intentional as we rethink about how we work going forward. here is the problem. employers and employees are not on the same page about how that is happening. thus, the resistance. part of that is that you have employers that have some very solid, valid concerns about talent development, productivity and culture, but they often don't have solid metrics to support those concerns. and because it was a crisis-driven execution in the pandemic, it's hard to gauge what productivity was. i will tell you as an expert doing this many, many years, oftentimes there wasn't great productivity data before covid about how we were working. so, again, we really have to think how we are going forward with this. >> so if employers don't have solid metrics to back up, you know, their recalling of employees, i mean, how important is it for employers to be flexible, especially in a post-covid world? are employers risking tanking morale and productivity if they aren't more flexible? >> well, here is where we are. we are at a clash of context right now where employers, again, as i said, and employees are not on the same page. you have employers who truly believe that if everyone returns to the office on set number of days, then the in-person interactions that will improve the outcomes they are concerned about somehow those will magically happen. unfortunately, they often don't. so that's why on the other side, you have employees who feel they've always ended up sitting an office doing the same work they did when they were working remotely and legitimately are asking why. why request am i here? being in the same location doesn't automatically lead to the collaboration that optimizes those outcomes that employers of concerned about. in the office does not equal in person, and that's something that employers and employees have to come together and ask the question, what do we need to do and how, when, where, do we do it best? >> that's true. in office does not translate to in person. i love coming to work. i love seeing my colleagues. but when i need to get work done, sometimes i lock myself in the office and put on my headphones and get to work on my computer. you know, there have been days i have been in and quickly out. what are your thoughts on hybrid schedules? where employers are trying to compromise and say, okay fine, work from home two to three days a week, come the office at least two days a week? are there any benefits to that? >> i think we are asking the wrong question. we keep asking the question, okay, how many days in the office? and so we're leading with where. again, because we are leading with where, those key activities that lead to the outcomes we want to advance by being in person are not necessarily happening. what we have to ask is, first, what aspects of talent development, of productivity, culture benefit from more in-person interaction and when and where do those happen, and let the answer to that question drive the number of days on site in the office at a client site, at home, at another remote location. but are our research and experience have shown that the sweet spot for people is two to three days on site. if you get to those number of days based on the work, people have a clear understanding of why they are coming together and will prioritize those activities. here is the important part. you will also talk about and identify what you will be doing when you are not together. because if you are in person three days a week, again you want to prioritize the things that really matter when you are together, but you are not going to be together for two days. so what are you doing then? what is better done when you are not in the same place? and those are the conversations we have to be having first. but when you lead with the number of days, you miss that. that's why people are not understanding and resisting. >> thank you for reframing that conversation. very important stuff. appreciate it. thanks. meet the secret network of pilots and volunteers helping women access legal abortion procedures in a world without roe. on a new episode of "the whole story with anderson cooper," here is a preview. >> we got a client from oklahoma going to carbondale and i said, don't forget to pick up your money from the clinic. >> no credit or debit card needed. i am here if she needs me. >> we've got it lined up. this airport is the best airport. the passenger still good to make this trip?

[ crowd chanting ] there is nothing like college football and this season will mark the end of an era for the sport. >> there is a lot of traditions that we've had for a long time in college football. and some of those traditions are going to get sort of pushed by the wayside, i think. and it is sad. >> conference realignment was the harshest ever this summer. the biggest blow to the pac-12 where this season will be the last for the conference as we know it. >> it is not one singular thing that led to the destruction of the pac-12 as we know it. it was a bunch of decisions and failed strategies. >> this is all about money. it is about a bag. every shakes their bag and then you get mad at their players when they chase it. >> one of voices said it is unfortunate how things have transpired. >> when you have ucla or usc going to play rutgers, whatever the case might be, it is going to be different and you're going to lose a lot of rivalries and to see a whole conference blow up like thats it wad. >> and the last of the big 12 and they play one more season before making the move to the s.e.c. and this season will be one of the last for oklahoma versus oklahoma state. >> the bedlam game is over because oklahoma chose to leave the big 12, period. it is got nothing to do with oklahoma state. so, do i like that? no. >> and this is the last season for four playoff teams and next season it turns to 12, the largest college football has ever seen. >> it is going to be different. even with 12 teams, i think there is about six teams, maybe eight teams that have a chance that win the national championship so i think the cream of that crop is always going to rise. but if it helps a tulane or a boise state or a cincinnati get in, i'm all for that. i think it might expand in years to come. >> andy socholes, thank you. joining us now is will leach and the founder of the sports website dead spin. where do you want to start? the big 10 has schools from coast to coast and pac-12 and atlantic conference added stanford and california. what is your biggest takeaway from the new reality of college sports near? >> yeah, i think a lot of this is going on for the assumption, so much is based on television money. colonel football has become such a massive television property that the people making the decisions are not college administrators or athletic directors, this is television executives. they want to see texas and ucla every weekend and it is great because it is short-term, they want every big match-up. not only are you losing tradition, you're starting to almost narrow the sport a little bit. and i think the presumption that every match-up has to be big makes not big and what is going to happen is you'll see executives move on to whatever the new thing is. the television industry is going through a lot on its own. i think in ten years, the television executives will move on to something else but the sport itself will be rendered unrecognizable. >> and to your point, a lot of the traditions and rivalries go back almost a century in some cases. and part of why they're rivalries whether it is michigan, ohio state, alabama and auburn, because of the region conference battle over the years. what effect do you think this will have on some of those traditions and rivalries between these schools? >> yeah, i don't think there is any question, particularly that this is the end of expansion and realignment, but the worry is two conferences like there is in the nfl, for example, which i think puts college football closer to what i think people will start to -- if you take away the traditions from college football, it is not college football, it is minor league football. and i think that is really the kind of issue. that is the worry. it is just football without any of the tradition of college football but lessen than the nfl and there is a count for all of the other college sports that aren't run by college football. >> i played in the big 10 and a lot of times we were traveling there youout our region between going to classes and i couldn't imagine going from rutgers one day and then going across the country to play usc or whatever it might be. from the schools perspectives, let's talk about some of the financial impact here. what are they doing this for? what is the financial impact going to be for some of the schools that are now jumping conferences or moving to different locations? >> well this all starts because of the financial situation, with the s.e.c. and the big 10 have massive television contracts. but as reassignment has happened, it is less about short-term money, but making sure in the long-term you have a place. best example is what we saw over the weekend on friday when the acc added stanford, cal and smu. well smu is not getting any money for the next seven years from the conference. but they're so worried that in this game of musical chairs they'll be left without a conference. they're not getting a financial impact out of it. but you've seen that playoff is expanding next year to 12 teams. the reason is for more television money. but the problem is espn and the other networks are going through financial issues that have nothing to do with football and are not willing to actually pay some of this money. so the first round of the playoffs next year currently don't have a television -- on television because they're fighting over the bidding on that. moving forward i think the industry is ink changing. >> and look at oregon state and washington state, they were left over and between that and il, it is a different game these days. thank you. officials are vesting a death at the burning manifest val in nevada as thousands remain stranded after heavy rain swamping the area. we'll speak with the operations commander for the festival when we come back. buy one footlong in the app, get one free. for freeeeee. that's's what i'm talking abou. order in thehe subway app toda. you're making the most of every hour of your life. except the hours that you're sleeping. so why do we leave so much untapped potential on the table?
