Hello again everyone. So muce this sunday. Im fredricka whitfield. We begin this hour with growing pressure on capitol hill to avoid a crippling Government Shutdown this week. Time is running out. Lawmakers now have just six days to pass a Spending Bill to fund the government. Federal agencies have already started the formal process of preparing for a shutdown and if that happens millions of federal workers could have their paychecks withheld until a deal is reached. But with the clock ticking, it is clear House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy doesnt have the votes to pass a stopgap funding bill. House republicans are engaged in Open Warfare Over who is to blame for the stalemate. The hold outs keep saying to Kevin Mccarthy dont bring bipartisan bills to the floor. We dont want you to use democrat votes to avert a shutdown. But theyre using democrat votes to try to cause a shutdown. These individuals, these republican holdouts are voting with nancy pelosi. We should have separate single subject
Lis on to this story out of florida. A 200mile joyride ended with a highrisk traffic stop. Also, a huge surprise. Deputies say that they were stunned to find a 10yearold boy and his 11yearold sister hop out of the stolen car near gainesville as they surrounded it. Those are the kids with their hands up. Look, the Sheriffs Office says the pair stole their mothers car after she took away their electronic devices. The mom drove three hours from her northport home to pick them up. Police say mom didnt pursue criminal charges. They are not behind bars. Im trying to think what my mom would do. I almost want to be behind bars. Right. Yeah, exactly. I cant imagine. 200 miles away. Why didnt they just go around the corner . It could have been two miles for me. It would have been the same result once i got home, right . Next hour of cnn this morning starts right now. Whats going on . Welcome to cnn this morning. Sunday, september 24th. Im omar jimenez. Im victor blackwell. Thank you for joining
