Happening now, President Biden is speaking in philadelphia, and speech which feels a little bit like a Campaign Kickoff and what he is saying about donald trump, and not saying. A critical meeting between russian president Vladimir Putin and turkish president erdogan, and the two holding talks to ease a Global Hunger crisis. And the single road in and out of The Burning Man Festival that could open today. Kate and sara are off, and im john berman with rahel solomon. And this is cnn news central. So this is the last day off before congress, at least some of them, return back to work, and the senate goes work. Looming is a possible government shutdown. They need to pass funding for the agencies by September 30th when the fiscal year ends, and yet again, speaker Kevin Mccarthy is facing pressure from Freedom Caucus who is demanding Policy Changes in exchange for short term funding. Melanie zanona is joining with us the latest. Yes, and this is because congress is not completing work on the spending bills and a short term patch is needed, and yet they have yet to decide whether to attach the white house request for disaster aid and ukraine funding and a request of 40 billion and the problem is that conservatives said they want to delink the two, and support the disaster aid, but not with the ukraine money attached and this is one of the several demands that the conservatives are laying out in the spending fight. They want to start a biden impeachment inquiry. They want to boost border security, and they also want to defund the key parts of the Department Of Justice, a none of those things, of course, likely to happen, but it is presenting a challenge for speaker mccarthy. I think that mike simpson who is one of the conservatives who serves on one of the spending panels, and said that if he, mccarthy, obviously, democrats are not going to do it for free, the democrats want to have a compromise, and find a solution to vacate the chair which is to have a way to force the speaker to vacate the chair, and this is a threat they have used before, and so last week, Kevin Mccarthy held a Conference Call with all of the members and according to me and my colleague manu raju, they said they should hold their fire and hold these Funding Fights for later in the year when they do the longterm funding bills, so we will see if it is enough to convince the conservatives to back off, but the next few weeks are a messy one for the United States congress, john. Messy with the fastline fast approaching. Thank you, melanie. Rahel . John, next up is to discuss the late zest is boston globe analyst jackie kucinich. I dont know if you have heard President Bidens speech in philadelphia, and let me play a few clips of what he said. The last guy who was here, you were Shipping Jobs to china. Now we are bringing jobs home from china. When the last guy was here, when the last guy was here, your pensions were at risk. We helped to save millions of pensions with your help. When the last guy was here, he looked at the world from park avenue. I look at fit from scranton, pennsylvania, and claymont, delaware. Of course, scranton is about 100 miles away from philly, and is this a sense of what we will hear from the campaign and not leaning in from donald trump by name, but attacking the record of this guy this or that, and not from what i heard saying anything about the indictments . I mean, his administration has been steadfast on not addressing any of the indictments, because he wants to maintain that separation between white house and the Department Of Justice which is traditionally before the Trump Administration was a thing that happened quite often, and that crowd in particular, the union crowd is a very key group for biden, and it is one that he is having trouble right now really hanging on to. He has a uaw president who is upset with him, and some of the regulations that his administration has been pushing, and there is a potentially a strike on the horizon or at least that is what they are threatening at this point. So, i think that not only is that messaging what you are going to be hearing, but a lot of messaging to the unions in particular, and what he has done for them, and tried to make their lives better is a constant theme that we will hear as we go into what is quite the election year. That is to say the least, jackie, for sure. Circle back to what Melanie Zanona was reporting, the time is ticking to get this bill done, and lay out, jackie what is at stake here. I mean, so many things are at stake. No one really wants a government shutdown, and potentially maybe some of the more conservative members, but the government shutdowns are not good for anyone, and how the avoid one, and there is a bit of a difference of opinion. Some of the things that Kevin Mccarthy is dealing with is his conservative members wanting to attach the Culture War Issues into the spending bills, and that going to be dead on arrival in the senate as well as at the white house. So, he is going to need to thread the needle. One of the interesting thins that is going to be, one of the interesting points that he is making or trying to make no members is that if they shutdown the government, they wont be able to move forward with the investigations into biden with the impeachment inquiry, and the government will be smhutdown an a fight over the funding and they cannot focus on these thing, and so he is trying to move forward with the governing which is a theme, and we have heard the music before with the Kevin Mccarthy show. So it sounds like he is trying to incentivize some of the hardline republicans to get things done for the things they care about apparently. And the theme of funding is at the center of this, and the harline republicans want that funding separated from the aid to ukraine, but the white house and the dems see it necessary to get it done, and so what is the likelihood of that happening . I think it is anyones guess, and again, this is another challenge for Kevin Mccarthy, but as Melanie Points out, it is potentially removing Kevin Mccarthy as speaker is hanging over his head, and when you have umpteen votes as speaker, there is always the motion to vacate to be trigger by a few members until we just got become to one. That is always going to be a concern of his and always going to p looking over his shoulder to limit what he is going to do and work with the democrats in order to keep the Government Funding and make sure that fema funds go through, and get the funding to ukraine which his membership does not want. And a lot at stake as he continues to do the dance as we saw with the ceiling deal. Jackie kucinich, thank you. John . This morning, there is an intensification for the manhunt of a killer in pennsylvania. They believe it is within a twomile radius of the prison he is being held. Some residents expressing the outrage. And the fact that he is still out there after all of this time is insane. We thought it would be overwith after this time. And so a Security Camera at someones home caught sight of him. Polo sandoval has more on this. We are told that we can expect an update at 1 00 p. M. , and along with the state police who is leading the way here in terms of the manhunt entering four days now that they have been searching for danil o k cavalcante. And this area is very wooded area, and they have searching the land around the area. And some background, he is accused and convicted of stabbing his girlfriend over 30 times in front of children. He he is still out there and about 55 and 150 pounds and dark curly hair. He had been sentenced to life in prison. Any idea how he got out of prison . They are not revealing that right now. Polo sandoval, keep us posted with the developing situation. Rahel. John, coming up for us, stuck in the mud for days at burning man.

Make more of whats yours. This morning, it is getting easier for Tens Of Thousands of festivalgoers to actually move around at the popular burning man festival. For days they have been trapped in this area with thick ankledeep mud. The organizers are hoping that the conditions will soon be dry enough for the roads to reopen, but with the festivals grand finale scheduled for tonight, which is a burn of a giant stick structure, most of the mud struck campers say they are willing to stick it out longer. Camila, you were there yesterday as well, and how have the conditions improved if at all . Yeah, things are much better. All day yesterday, it was rainy and cloudy and as you can see now, the sun is out. This is exactly what they need for that very thick caky mud to dry up. We are right at the main entrance and exit to the festival. This is what they call the eightmile playa access. Behind me is an area that is muddy and wet, but as you can see in the images, there are many cars that are making way out, and in comparison to what i saw yesterday, there is less mud on those cars, and nonetheless, as people are coming out, they are honking and cheering and saying that we made it out, and that is because it has been extremely difficult over the last couple of days. I have talked to people who have walked for miles with their shoes wrapped in plastic bags telling me that the mud was just sticking on their shoes and making it very difficult to walk. Other people have told me that they were trying to get out and the cars stuck for hours in that mud. So hopefully, that is not the case today. The shelter in place is still ongoing, and we are waiting to hear from the organizers, but i will say that people who have to leave are making their way out, and they are allowed to do so. I did see my first walker of the day with a suitcase. They are just trying to get a ride from whoever they can. Look, they are not the only ones. The celebrities were going through it as well. Deejay diplo had to get a ride with chris rock, and he was on cnn this morning and this is what he said. I am glad i made it out, but the people at burning man, the organizers were prepared and the first time in history that it rained in the festival, but it rains sometimes, and they are prepare for this kind of situation. Everybody is having a good time, and people are making huge sculptures out of mud and continuing with the art. Maybe they are there a couple of extra days, but they are having a great time. Reporter and just like diplo said, they were prepared for the most part, but the problem is that when you come here, you bring the exact amount ofood and water that you need, and if you are extending it by a day or two, you start to run out of water and food and fuel and supplies and this is a concern for a lot of people, and the fact that they needed to get out, and some people had to go to work for example, but people are positive, rahel, and saying that they are having a good time. It is interesting to learn about the Burning Man Community and sharing food and resources. Thank you, camila. And what is it like to be mud logged in the middle of the desert in a huge event like this . Well, luckily, there is wifi and people have been sharing their experiences. Everything is beginning to dry out, but the roads are still pretty sloppy and in bad shape, and definitely not okay to drive on. They are asking people to conserve the food and water and ration, and the problem is the portapotties are overloaded. And there is going to be a party tonight, because there is Nothing Better to do, and we are stuck. That is bobby white, and he is joining me now. Bobby, you said that there is doing to be a big party tonight, and was there . If so, how was it . On saturday night, there were a few parties for sure, but a lot of the camps have started to close down, and especially last night, and there was not too much open last night. Did it make it more fun . Look, sometimes they say when it rains at a wedding it is good luck, and they just say it to make people feel better, but it can make people feel better and is there an element of truth in that . Oh, sure. This going to be one of the years when you look back and say, oh, i was there in 2023. How was your experience with that . It is kind of a bonding thing, and that is kind of the whole thing about burning man. It is more of a it is the journey and not the Destination Type Thingment and this is part of the journey. So, how muddy was it at the worst . Well, you know, i have been coming to burning man for ten years now, and you have to be prepared for that, and even the slightest bit of rain makes everything super slick, and you cant ride your bicycle around, and that is how people get around out here, because the mud cakes up on the tires, and then it just adds up. Then you walk around and your feet, you have five pounds of mud on the feet, and yeah, any little bit of rain, and it is going to make the playa untravelable, and you have to be eporaried for that. And i dont know exactly what it is that you are wearing whether it is a coat, blanket or shawl, but i know that it is very very white. There is not a speck of mud on that, and how have you kept it clean for the last several days . Yeah. I dont know. I have had many people say that, and it is cold out here today, and at night it is pretty cold and i have managed not the roll around in it. And normally, i think that it is cleaner than it would be because of the dust normally blowing and catching and all of that, and there is no dust, because it is mud. So it is relatively clean, but at night out here, you have to be lit up, so it is a glowing jacket, because you can get run over by a bicycle if you are not lit up. You have chosen to stay, and so have thousands other people, and why . Why important to be there until the end . Well, i think that it is more of, i mean, i have the rv here, and other camp mates have rvs or rental trucks or things like that, and getting them out is basically impossible, and sure, you could have walked out, but what do i do with the stuff . The moment it started to rain, i think that most people here, they were just, you know, just accepted it. There is no reason to get upset, and it is raining, and that means we are stuck here a couple of extra days, and this is just one thing that you to plan for when you come to burning man, it is not always easy. Up until friday, we said that it is the best weather at burning man in a decade. Well, you jinxed it, and clearly, you are partly to blame for having said that out loud. Bobby white, listen, thank you. I will take responsibility. Thank you for being with us. Sure, no problem. Glad you made it through, and have a great burn if you are there for the burn and the straw man and hope it goes well. Appreciate it. Will do. Rahel .
