Not and overcome a 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster today. how does he get through, there are significant provisions in there including $12 billion in aid to ukraine, money to deal with the flooding in jackson, mississippi, not to mention keeping the government open past this friday. but they are likely to probably ultimately pass this stopgap measure by the end of the year. but again, a bumpy road and up to the brink of a shutdown once again. >> once again. it is good to see you. even...

Them? >> it is simple. we cannot take this storm for granted. this is a major hurricane with some catastrophic possibilities for communities. we have to heed those warnings. evacuate those areas. one thing our city does is after we have sustained winds of 45 miles an hour, our public safety, our police and fire become stationary. we wont respond to any emergencies until the wind subsides below that 45 mile an hour threshold. so we urge our residents and our community and all of the residents of ...
