states. i'm a check on the president of the united states. that's my constitutional responsibility. and i guess i am going to do what i can under our constitution to make sure that nothing bad happens to our country. >> lawmakers under fire there. david wright joins us from florida. we are days away from a possible government shutdown. this breakdown on immigration and the president's slur could have a real impact on that, david. >> reporter: that's right, cecilia. the federal government is due to run out of money on friday and the democrats hope to use that as leverage to get the deal they

upstate new york. chunks of ice choking forcing the river up, then releasing the river and the ice dangerously downstream. >> and it is cold out there. let's get right to rob on the west side highway. rob, how cold? how long are we talking? >> well, last 24 hours it is a body shocking drop in temperatures. in some cases 50 degrees colder now than it was this time yesterday. any water on the ground
