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.

This guilty plea from a Bail Bondsman scott hall, one of 18 codefendants carjack chad alongside donald trump. Plus a fight over the home of glamorous actress Marilyn Monroe. Should this home be protected as an Historic Site or should it be knock ed down to make room for new red hot real estate. And leading this hour, the odds of a Government Shutdown are now higher than Willie Nelson taking a tour of a. M. Dam. One day until the government runs out of funding and theres no clear path to a solutions. A lastditch measure failed in the house. 21 republicans crossed over to vote with democrats, eeb House Republican leaders say they are in the dark about where to go from here. Its up to the speak er.

They dont want to just win the white house. They want democrats to win governorships and control of congress or to get as close as they can. They obviously want democrats to get control of the senate. For the Clinton Kaine campaign, it is pedal to the metal from now till the end. 41 fundraisers from now until november 3rd. He had five today alone. He squeezed me in between them. Thats on the democratic side. On the republican side, its nothing like that at all. Mateo gold at the Washington Post reports tonight that the comparable fundraiser effort on the republican side is already over. In fact, it ended last wednesday. The Washington Post reports

Donald trump today responded that he, too, would kind of like to go get in a fight with joe

if they also spend on election day itself. that is a phenomenal last-minute money dump. and who knows where that money came from? incredibly while they ve decided to do that through the mitch mcconnell super pac, the nominee decided he ll coast to the finish. no more republican party fund-raisers, helping nobody, where can i go to find somebody to tell me that they love me. he does remain on the top of the ticket. he continues to be the republican party s problem and he continues to be the presidential nominee of a major political party. as such he continues to be subject to scrutiny, subject to the kind of full body mri, the kind of full body background check that the national media does on everybody who runs for president. and we have something new to
