Good saturday morning to you. Welcome to cnn this morning. It is saturday, september 23rd. Im victor blackwell. Victor, its good to be with you. Im omar jimenez in for amara walker. Thank you for spending part of your morning with us. So, i dont know if ive seen two men anchor a Network Cable network broadcast. Thats huge. At least the last 35 year. And then two brothers, anchoring the show. It is good to have you this morning. Come on. Come on. This is history right now. Its history. Good to have you, omar. Lets have a good show. Thousands of homes are without power as Tropical Storm ophelia lashes the east coast with strong winds and heavy rain. We have a look at the cities in the storms path and the impact well see throughout the day. Plus the country is quickly hurtling towards a shutdown talks among the republicans in the house have broken down over a deal to fund the government. How federal agencies are preparing and the talks to keep a shutdown from happening. The uaw is turning up the heat. Escalating its strikes against automakers as it works to hammer out a deal with the companies. How consumers will soon feel the effects of these expanding strikes. In a Common Antibiotic used to treat respiratory illnesses is in short supply for a second year. Cause concerns for doctors and parent. Why were seeing the shortage and whats being done to fix it. Lets talk about this storm this morning parts of the east coast are waking up under a hurricane watch. Tropical storm ophelia is nearing land fall in North Carolina. Its almost at Hurricane Strength with winds close to 70 Miles Per Hour. Ophelia is expected to bring lifethreaten storm surge and flash flooding and damaging winds. I mean, were already, as you mentioned, victor, seeing Power Outages and coastal flooding. The majority of those in the dark in North Carolina. Today, even more are expected to lose power as ophelia moves on shore. Crews prepare to work all day to pre restore power. The impacts are expected to reach up to d. C. And maryland. Lets get right to cnn meet o ologist Allison Chinchar. Its very close to making lan landfall, victor and omar. Sustained winds right now 70 Miles Per Hour. Keep in mind hurricane is 75. Were only 5 Miles Per Hour off hour from what would be considered Hurricane Strength. The forward move slowed at just 9 Miles Per Hour. All of those outer bands are stretching pretty far north. Its raining in new jersey and in philadelphia as well. And those are some of those far northern bands of ophelia. But here is a look at the core of the storm. Again, that eye wall is getting ever so close to land right there. So were going to be seeing that landfall here very quickly. But some heavier bands starting to push into jacksonville, North Carolina, as well as kingston and raleigh Off And On Rain Bands throughout the day today. Keep in mind the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms is possible, tornadoes and damaging winds and large hail. That storm will start to veer back to the northeast as we go over the next 24 to 48 hours and it will also weaken. So by the time we see those main impacts across delaware, new jersey and maryland, it will be a little weaker system than it is right now. But its still going to take all of that heavy rain with it. So even though the system itself will be weaker especially in terms of winds, youre still going to have the potential for flooding extend up into states like new jersey, new york and pennsylvania. Its just going to be the focus of two days. Moderate risk of flooding is over North Carolina and virginia. The Flooding Potential does extend as far north as massachusetts, gentlemen, tomorrow. Allison chinchar, thank you so much. Now to the chaos on capitol hill. Were one week away from the government shutting down if congress does not do its job and pass a funding bill. Its a big deal. The initial plan would let House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy strike first, get the votes to pass a bill, then send it to the senate for changes before heading back to the house for a final round of votes and negotiations. Theres a lot to go here. But now with infighting in the house, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer is ready to step in and take over. Leader mcconnell and i are talking. And we have great deal of agreement on many parts of this. Its never easy to get a big bill, a cr bill done, but i am very, very optimistic that mcconnell and i can find a way and get a large number of votes both democratic and republican in the senate. Cnns Jasmine Wright is joining us now from the white house. So what is the administration doing to prepare for a shutdown . Reporter yeah, well the white house is directing federal agencies basically to get ready for a potential shutdown. Now that comes as we saw a lot of House Republicans leave washington, d. C. With no clear path forward. So, the white house is doing what they call mandatory but standard guidance issuing it to federal agencies, basically telling them to come up with their plans and procedures if there were a shutdown. That is mandatory to happen. That guidance being sent out about seven days before the deadline. We know that deadline at the government will no longer be able to fund itself is september 30th. Now its important because every agency has different plans and procedures, things like what employees would be furloughed, what employees would be deemed essential and have to work through a shutdown. Now of course at risk if the government would shut down would be essential things that are very key to this biden administration, like pay for military and military families. Food aid programs, travel processing, those essential things. So the white house yesterday was up here at the podium talking to republicans, saying they should not risk those issues not being paid for. Take a listen. Reporter republican shutdown does not have to happen. They can do their job and keep these vital programs continuing, keeping the government open. Our message is this should not be happening. We should not be putting american familys lives in turmoil. Reporter now, as we were hearing that from the white house on the House Republican side in congress, they were talking about passing and really preparing to get four bills passed in the house. They were sent to the senate. Those are longterm Funding Bills to touch things like defense and other areas that need to be covered. But the problem is that those would be dead on arrival in the senate. Take a listen to House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy talk about his plan just yesterday. I think we made some progress to those who have been holding up passing the rule to get on to these bills. We have members working. And hopefully well get to move forward on tuesday to pass these bills. Reporter so even though we have that plan from Kevin Mccarthy, we dont know exactly what will work and schumer has his plan working on the other side, what would happen this saturday morning is the fact that even though there are plans under way, were still no closer to avoiding a potential shutdown, that comes to the house side, senate side and of course the white house side. Omar, victor . A lot to figure out, jasmine. And per common fashion, look like it will come down to the fire. So we will see. Thank you. Im joined by Cnn Political Commentator and political anchor at spectrum news, ere roll lewis. Good to see you. Mccarthy is facing an uphill battle when it comes to getting anything done here based on the dynamics in the Republican Party on the house side. Last night abby phillip talked to congressman matt gaetz. This is what he said if Speaker Mccarthy putting a continues resolution to the floor. If Speaker Mccarthy embraces a clean, continuing resolution to continue the spending policies of nancy pelosi and joe biden that would most likely trigger a motion to vacate. That seems so representative of the dynamic. Are mccarthys hands tied here . Is there anything he can do . Reporter good morning, omar. No. Theres not much he can do. He agreed on condition of becoming speaker to have this really unworkable situation where any one member for any reason could introduce a motion to have him removed as speaker, what he did was empower all of the matt gaetz in the house, all the extremistists, all of those not interested in governing but interested in their own political future. He opened the door to them doing exactly what theyre doing. They get on network television. They get to raise money. They get to posture. And in this case they get to threaten to shut down the government, which almost everybody in washington im sure youre hearing the same thing, omar, everybody down there is expecting that the government will be shut down for no particular reason. And you know, we are wondering how some of those concessions that were made around Speaker Mccarthys confirmation, the marathon confirmation. That said, mccarthy is not giving up yet. Trying to pass a series of yearlong Funding Bills he hopes to take to the floor on tuesday. Does that feel more like an attempt to maintain control over the situation . Or more something that can actually work in time to avoid a shutdown . Its a form of capitulation. What gaetz is talking about, this radical faction is talk about, is the idea of not passing one big bill, what they call the continuing resolution but to take them one at a time. Over on the senate side, we already heard from Senator Schumer the majority on the senate side they said they dont want to do that. They dont intend to do that. For this not particularly procedural dispute what were going to have is these individual bills. They may or may not pass. There will be a lot of discussion along the way. But, if mccarthy wants to regain control, hes got to stop these folks from controlling the process. And so, he can put this off for a little bit of time, but in the end, hes going to have to face down against that faction and see if theyre going to allow him to govern. One clue as to whats likely to happen, omar, they send everybody home for the weekend. So even as the clock is ticking, even as they need to be negotiating, he sent everyone home. Its really kind of a quiet acknowledgment he doesnt have the votes. He doesnt have control. And i think we should expect more chaos in the days to come. Well, sets us up for potentially chaotic week leading up to another financial deadline here. Now, its partly because of this dynamic. We have parallel efforts on the house side and on the senate side now starting. You touched on it a little bit. Senate Leader Schumer and mcconnell theyre working together to get a funding bill passed in the senate to put pressure on the house, of course. Even if they get a bill approved in the senate what are the chances it can get through the house . Are we running into some of the same issues here . Oh, yeah. No, exactly the same issues. This is the situation that were in. Everyone who watched, if anyone was paying attention during that chaotic series of votes to make mccarthy the speaker of the house, we basically are in the same position. And i think were going to see a lot of junk thrown into the process in the sense that to pick up votes one at a time, two at a time, to get members of this radical faction to come along, mccarthy is going to offer all kinds of things that have nothing to do with running the government. And, you know, a lot of that will happen Behind Closed Doors. A lot will be posturing. And a lot of us will be waiting behind microphones, hoping theyll come from Behind Closed Doors and tell us whats going to happen to our government and our country. Its really about the worst possible way you can govern in a situation like this. Well, and we saw something similar leading them to the Debt Ceiling Negotiations and, of course, here we are in this situation as well. Is this a dynamic that we just now have to get used to based on the Power Structure in the republican side on the house side of things right now . Well, i mean, thats the real question. I mean, this is going to be the first, maybe not the last, test of whether or not this really dubious arrangement is going to actually let the government function. Here again, were not talking about any new policy initiatives. Were not talking about anything controversial. Were just talking about keeping the lights on, making sure the courts are functioning, making sure, you know, the fda is doing Drug Approvals and that the scientists at the National Weather service are providing the forecast that we need. I mean, thats how bad this is. Yeah. Yeah. Well , the citys mayor says they feel abandoned and theyre pleading for help. Well, now, texas governor, republican greg abbott, says hes sending additional buses to eagle pass and el paso to assist those border communities. Cnns Priscilla Alvarez has more on the challenges at the southern border. Reporter the white house concludes the week with more than 8,000 daily encounters on the u. S. Mexico Border each day this week. That is a marked increase from late may when there were about 3,500 daily ebb counters. Those are numbers that held for much of the summer. This latest surge is causing strain on federal resources and fueling concern within the administration. Now Homeland Security officials are monitoring the situation. They cant quite say what exactly led to the surge, but they do cite Economic Conditions in Latin America as well as the Climate Crisis as drivers of migration. Now, the administration took steps this week to try to alleviate some of the burden along the u. S. Mexico Border and in communities, including, for example, sending 800 new active duty Military Personnel to serve in a supporting role. That is something that they have done before. As well as adding capacity to border facilitfacilities. Those are illequipped to care for people longterm. But this is to build out capacity so they can at least accommodate those arriving to process them through. And officials also said that they are continuing to conduct deportation flights. But all of this really underscored and the images underscored the immense humanitarian, political and logistical challenge for the administration as they face unprecedented Mass Migration across the western hemisphere. Now Homeland Security secretary will be visiting the border today where he will be joining the president of honduras. The two will be in the rio grande valley. Another area of the border that has been seeing an increase in border crossings. And theyre expected to talk about cooperating, to try to stem the flow of a regular migration. And how the two can Work Together along with partners to address what is an immense challenge across the western hemi hemisphere. Omar, victor. Thank you so much.

New jersey democratic senator bob menendez is resisting calls for his resignation after being charged with several corruptionrelated offenses by the justice department. Menendez and his wife are accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for the senators influence. This is the second time in the last Decade Menendez is facing Corruption Charges. And prosecutors say the bribes included gold bars, cash, Home Mortgage payments and a luxury vehicle. Me mendes denied the accusations and responded to calls for his resignation saying he is, quote, not going anywhere. Kara scannell has the latest. Some of the cash was stuffed in the senators pockets. Reporter indicted against. Bob menendez facing Corruption Charges. Prosecutors announcing a threecount federal indictment against the democratic senator and his wife over their dealings with three new jersey associates and businessmen starting in at least 2018. The senator and his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes. In exchange for Senator Menendez using his power and influence to protect and to enrich those businessmen. Reporter the alleged bribes include more than 550,000 in cash hidden in the senators home and safe deposit box. A mercedesbenz convertible and gold bars worth tens of thousands of dollars among other things. The indictment also alleges the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair, quote, provided sensitive u. S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the government of egypt. Behind the scenes, Senator Menendez was doing those things for certain people. The people who were bribing him and his wife. He issued a defiant statement in response to the u. S. Attorneys latest allegations. I have been falsely accused before because i refuse to back down to the Powers That Be and feel of new jersey were able to recognize i was innocent. Menendez has long maintained his innocence in the latest probe into his dealings telling cnn back in april this inquiry will end up, i believe, in absolutely nothing. Reporter the senator faced similar Corruption Charges in 2015. He fought off conspiracy, bribery and other fraud charges related to political favors. To those who were digging my political grave so they can jump into my seat, i know who you are and i will wont forget you. Reporter that case ended in a mistrial, a partial acquittal and all charges against the senator being drobed. In this latest case, menendez remains defiant saying he wont be, quote, distracted by baseless allegations. Reporter a lawyer for the senators wife says she denies all wrong doing. The u. S. Attorneys office says this investigation is still on going. And that comes amid growing call by new jersey lawmakers for the senator to resign. Victor, omar . Thank you so much. Joining us now is joey jackson. Joey, good morning to you. Lets start here with the bar. And proving bribery and corruption is a lot harder than it was a decade ago. Theres got to be this quid pro quo and the employment of official acts. So when you look at this case and the indictment that has now been filed, how hard will it be to prove based on what we know thus far about the case . Yeah, victor, good morning to you. What you stated is exactly right. Thats predicated upon a Supreme Court case which spoke to the issue of formulating that nexus, that connection, right, between the official action, of course, and what you did in exchange. In answer to your question that will be the challenge. You look at the indictment itself, it looks to be very compelling, speaks to the issue of power, speaks to the influence of it speaks to the issue of influence and corruption. The issue for me is whether you can establish the requisite causal link between the senators actions and activities and what, if anything, he was being offered to do them. Senators defense will be engaging constituent services. They meet with constituents. They take up causes they believe to be necessary and appropriate and further their interest of constituents whether that be because you sit on a Foreign Relations committee, as Senator Menendez if not, then of course the prosecution becomes problematic. If so, then were in a far different universe. How explicit must the connection be . Because people sitting at home looking at this graphic, the pictures on the screen wonder why else would Business Associates or friends or those people working on behalf of the Egyptian Government give gold bars or a mercedes or pay the mortgage or 500k cash if indeed they did that, except for something in return . Does it have to be written . How explicit must it be . Well, it has to be more explicit than innuendo, certainly on the face of it you can make the suggestion that what are you doing with gold bars . What are you doing with cash, right . What are you doing with Mortgage Payments being made on your behalf . However, to the extent that clients or in this particular situation constituents might feel that the senator has engaged and gone above and beyond, then perhaps in the realm in the universe of him accepting gifts or something else, in exchange for doing the tremendous job that he was doing, the nexus has to be one of not just wow, this looks pretty bad, right, in an indictment which is an accusation it may look that. But in a court of law, you have to establish if youre the prosecutor that the senator did this for that. That the senator engaged in use of official office in exchange because he knew, because he anticipated, because the quid pro quo was because youre giving me gold bars. Youre paying a mortgage. Youre getting a mercedes. Youre giving me money. So was there that link . Was he acting in the capacity of his job . And did he do it corruptly . Would he have engaged in these activities any way. The lines are often blurs. A senator has fundraisers and engages in other actives the because theyre around people who want their influence, who want them to use the influence in an advantageous way. Is that predicated upon me being fraudulent or predicated upon me doing my job effectively and being rewarded in kind. Those are the issues i think will be displayed in court. I want to pull that thread a bit more. What we heard from the u. S. Attorney, damion williams, announcing this indictment, Southern District of new york, was the senator on his website outlines, highlights what he can do on behalf of a constituent and what he cannot do on behalf of a constituent. Is there some legal relevance to he talked about it really high up in the News Conference yesterday of outlining those and the senators awareness of what he can and cannot do . Reporter you know, victor, i think the senator certainly put that on the website as perhaps, you know, many other senators and Congress People do, to give the indication that when you come to my office, we cannot make exchanges and i cant use my influence to engage in an inappropriate way on your behalf, to corruptly influence anyone. So i think thats there for state of mind. You know, gone are the days apparently, victor, where the indictments just gave a bare bones narrative with respect to what a defendant is accused of doing. In this indictment, youve got pictures, youve got gold bars, youve got money, youve got that what you reference about the website excerpt, you have text message exchanges. And so the realities are is that i think theyre doing that, that as prosecutors establish a narrative. Certainly that narrative publicly looks troubling. The issue is whether it would comport with the law as it relates to bribery, as it relates to services fraud. You owe a fiduciary duty to represent your constituents accurately and appropriately without exchange for anything. Whether they can establish extortion. Those are other issues. Certainly the indictment really sings in terms of potential corruption. The issue is whether there was and whether theres that appropriate nexus and connection between what the senator was doing and what he was receiving as a result of what he was doing or were they just merely gifts in exchange for a Job Well Done . That will play out in a courtroom. Were just beginning here. Joey jackson, thanks so much. Coming up next for us, the United Autoworkers Union is expanding its strike.

This just in to cnn, the National Hurricane center says Tropical Storm ophelia made landfall just minutes ago near the town of Emerald Aisle in North Carolina. Ophelia is battering parts of the east with heavy win and rain expected to impact cities along the east coast throughout the day today. Meteorologist Allison Chinchar is tracking that and will have more at the top of the hour. At least five students are in Critical Condition this morning after a bus crashed in Orange County in new york on thursday. Two people were killed in the crash. The bands director and a retired teacher helping to chaperon the trip. The bus was headed to an event for a High School Band camp. According to a state police spokesmen, 22 students have been discharge from the hospital. A blown front tire may have caused that crash. The white house has introduced a new office of Gun Violence Prevention to be led by Vice President kamala harris. President biden says its part of his administrations efforts to combat gun violence nationwide. He says the office will help put his signature Gun Legislation into action after it passed last year and find more ways to curb gun violence. If youre feeling lucky today the Power Ball Jackpot now reached 750 million after no one won in the previous drawing. This makes it the Third Largest jackpot of the year. Man, three quarters of a billion just comes at number three this year. Lump sum payout is 350 million. The strike by the united autoworkers against ford, General Motors and stellantis the company that Manufacture Cars under chrysler and jeep. Its entered the ninth day. Negotiations with ford show signs of progress, the strike is spreading to more facilities across the country, but only to more gm and stellantis owned. Here is vanessa yurkevich. Reporter today you have over 18,000 uaw members on the picket line after president fain of the uaw announced he would be targeting 38 more facilities at gm and stellantis across 20 states, sending an additional 5,600 members out to the picket lines. And this is because president fain said that gm and stellantis needed a strong push to come with a better offer. However, if you notice, ford was not noted in those additional targeted strikes. President fain saying Real Progress was made with ford. Here are some details. According to the union, fords latest offer reinstated cost of living adjustments, which was something that many of these workers gave up in 2009. Theyre now offering more profit sharing. And temporary workers can now become fulltime workers in 90 days. And theres additional job security, which essentially means that if a Ford Employee is laid off, they will receive two years of income and ben efits. Notably missing is where things stand with wages. The union has been asking for 40 wage increase over four years. The last public offer from three companies was around 20 . Ford and the uaw saying while they have come to terms with some of these offer demands, theres still a big gap on the wage issue. And these new targeted strikes will certainly have an economic impact. This is going to impact dealerships because dealerships will not be able to get parts from specifically gm and stellantis. And this will then trickle down to the consumer who is looking to bring their car in for a repair, potentially those parts will not be available. We have some recent economic reporting from Anderson Economic Group that says just in the first eight days of this strike, with just the three plants, we have seen a 1. 6 billion economic impact. With these new 38 facilities that are now being targeted by the union, that number, omar and victor, is expected to grow. Vanessa yurkevich reporting for us. Thank you so much.

In 2021, there were almost 43 million prescriptions of amoxicillin, the liquid form, the one in shortage, and tablet forms of this drug. This shortage started back in october of 2022, as we were going into that fall and winter season faced with flu, rsv and covid. Of course, those are all viruses, ones we are planning to have to anticipate this season as well. But what often can happen is you get secondary bacterial infections then need to be treated with antibiotics. Now, there are four makers of amoxicillin listed on the drug shortages website from the fda. Only one of those Drug Companies gives a reason for the shortage, and that is increased demand. But as we reached out to these companies, one of them pointed out that amoxicillin, like many other antibiotics, is a very inexpensive old medicine, a generic drug, costs about 10 per bottle. Compared that with newer medicines, one like ketruda, a cancer drug, that costs more than 10,000 a dose. Drugs like Keytruda Will never really go into shortage unless something bad happens because theres such an incentive for the makers of these medicines to ensure there is continuous supply. Those incentives arent there for older generic medicines. This often leads to parents will have to go to multiple pharmacies if their kids are sick to try to find amoxicillin. The American Academy of pediatrics put out guidance if what are to do p you encounter a shortage. One is really just watchful waiting. But that of course requires certain circumstances where thats appropriate. More contact with your doctor, so thats more labor intensive. You could also get the Oral Formulations they say, the tablets and crush those up or put them in liquid or apple sauce. Then there are, of course, other antibiotics that can be swapped in. But doctors try not to do that if they dont have to because you dont want to promote antibiotic resistance. This is a problem going on for a while. Unfortunately its not unique to just this one drug. There are more than 300 drugs on the fdas shortages list right now. The highest number that we have seen in almost a decade. So this affects antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, all kinds of medicines crucial to peoples health. Its something the u. S. Is paying attention to but certainly not seeing getting solved immediately.
