Good day, im Chris Jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. Congress is trying to crawl its way out of chaos, but a feeling of inevitability has taken hold on capitol hill as the Clock Barrels toward a Government Shutdown. Both chambers are trying to reach shortterm spending agreements, but will they find the votes . Millions of federal employees and contractors are bracing for impact if a showdown does happen, but how significant a toll could it take on our armed services, both at home and abroad. And tributes for a trailblazer, lawmakers emotional remembrances of california senator Dianne Feinstein who passed away at the age of 90. Very sad. May she rest in peace. Voting the last day. We will take a look back at the life and legacy of the democrat who served longer than any other woman in senate history, and with big shoes left to fill, what happens now to feinsteins seat .

Hanging fruit. i ve even talked to you on your program where we talked about, go after the low-hanging fruit. go after the taxes. go the alka pope method. i don t understand why we re trying to complicate things where he s done so many illegal or potentially illegal acts. they should just go after those and stop trying to create other ones that are more complicated to prove. so, michael, you may not have seen those tax returns. who has seen those tax returns other than donald trump? allen weisselberg, for example? yes. you can tell us definitively? yes. anyone else? yes, as well as the accountant that prepared them from mazers. who was supposed to be a prosecution witness but we ve learned today was called by the defense to be able to support the trump organization s defense. knowing trump as well as you do, how is he reacting to the news? because i said at the beginning of the program, the emperor finally has no clothes. like anyone wants to see that
