>> we are in a much better place than we were last week. bipartisan negotiators worked through the end of last week but to that weekend. have comeen up with a place to e sort of knew we were going to end up back. which is a bipartisan government funding deal. a three month continuing resolution that basically extends hunting to december 20. it is relatively clean. there's not many poison pills or policy provisions attached. it basically averts a shutdown before the election. the house does have to pass it this week. we expected that will happen by wednesday sometime in the middle of the week, and then it goes to the senate. senator schumer says he likes what he sees per the white house says it is urging passage as well. schumer said they could be out

of here but the government funded by the end of this week if there is bipartisan cooperation on both sides of the. >> or if there is bipartisan cooperation. a special for come at the house and speaker johnson, there have been members of his party concerned that he requires democratic votes to pass a bill. you need democrats to move legislation and theeg house. is that happening this time is he getting that kind of pushback or built the requires he's going to lose republicans here? >> he is getting some pushback for there's a large faction of conservatives that already say they won't support the cr. we knew we were going to be in this position weeks ago. that it would require house of housedemocrats working in conjun with house republicans it ordered to move this across the finish line. byron at donald's one of the conservatives in the house freedom caucus told us he would

be voting no he favored the earlier approach which was a six month cr including the saved act donald trump act provision that would provide her proof of citizenship in order for people to register to vote. the reason why the conservatives one c of this funding site pushd to the new year was they believe president trump would be elected. and he would be in them much better negotiating position on funding the lame duck session right before the holidays where republicans expect democrats will try to load this up with a lot of different goodies and provisions. not to be the liking of conservatives. >> hibbert looking december 23 before the holidays for the timeline for this. that voting bill save acted not

included what is included is more funding for secret service. explain how much money and is that something that's going to make it through? >> it looks like itke will readt is a significant addition to this cr. $231 million in additional funding the secret service will be able to spend over these next few months as we see the apparent assassination attempts on donald trump, now multiple of them. thishi was something that president biden had asked for but something the secret service had been asking for, more resources. the number of lawmakers on capitol hill saying we have to do something to give the secret service as much support as if theyneed heading into this critl final weeks of the campaign. >> had this passes a house with democratic support. is there a way we know things work differently in the senate.

is there a way a republican senator who has an objection with this a bill to hold up this bill passed september 30 and the government shutdown deadline? >> has been the timing issue how quickly the house can send it over to the senate. if the once ate there and really good shape to get this done before september 30 deadline when funding runsg out. if it drifts intoin later in the week friday or even later then we start to run into some problems. as we know any one senator can delay the process. this is why senator schumer is asking for bipartisan cooperation on both sides. any one senator can blow down this process can throw roadblocks in the way and try to drag this out and make it as painful as possible for the other side. what is mitch mcconl telling republicans in the senate? guest: mitch mcconnell has been

insistent from day one that a shutdown would be politically catastrophic for his party. just 40 some odd days before the election. that is a similar message, interestingly enough, even though mike johnson, speaker of the house, is a fiscal conservative, at one point had been a member of these hard right factions, had been echoing the mcconnell line, saying it would be political malpractice for republicans to shut the government down in advance of the election. s show republican certainly would get the blame heading into the election. that would hurt a lot of the swing districts and swing state candidates that will be on the ballot >> on this november in very critical racess and the balance of power is at stake in both chambers of congress both in the house and senate where -- the majority parties have just a razor thin edge in terms of holding control of those chambers. >>ho scott juan of nbc news joining us ahead of a busy week

on capitol hill and we'll probably be busy this week until after thehe election. >> certainly. >> lame duck that could be done at the end this have week your questions for the week ahead in washington going to start calling inn phone numbers as usual democrats 202-748-4,000 republicans independents 202-748-8002 say this passes we avert a shut down, election happens. republicans held on to the house in the election. does a speak or johnson face any pushback from inside his own party to keep the speakers gavel in what could be the 119th congress that sits in january? >> it is sort of a palace swirling around capitol hill right nowof john, and it is the questionpi for the republican party every two years is whether the incumbent speaker or leader can survive just because we did

see so muchse turmoil in the congress with the mccarthy struggling over that 15 vote period in january. when the congress started, speaker mccarthy being removed for the first time in history what we saw sitting speaker removed replaced by mike johnson ever a number of others tried to attain the speakers gavel so i think my answer would be really depends on what that buffer is for republicans if they do hold on to that majority if he has a large buffer, a large majority, he can easily survive. if it is again, a five seat majority or a three seat majority similar to what we're seeing right now. it becomes much harder because any number of republicans can then block speak or johnson from the gavel if he's -- if they're relegated to minority it is entirely different question because we know that it doesn't require the 218 votes on

thee house floor to become speaker it ishe then just a sime majority of the number of republicans which wouldit be a significantly lower threshold to retain that minority leader status. >> and then run through the rest of the leadership positions again realizing that this is very dependent on what happens in the elections but hakim jeffreys peace any opposition to staying leader of democrats in the house chuck schumer we know mitch mcconnell is getting ready to leave. what happens with republican senate leadership as well? > yeah. those are all very good questions on the democratic side i don't see any challenges at the moment emerging to hakim jeffries or chuck schumer certainly for hakim jeffries it is much easier to be leading the minority party because the messaging is all about taking on

the majority taking on the incumbent speaker of the house mike johnson so democrats after the -- dramatic summer that we did experience with the president of the united states stepping down from running for reelection, after that was behind them they have really unified and been on this march towards retaking the majority. certainly the most interesting race, i think, shaping up on the senate side is between senator john cornyn who is running to replace mitch mcconnell swells john thune two johns running senator barrasso decided not to that race exactly. but that's going to be an interesting race to watch both men have been working pretty aggressively behind the scenes to shore up support to replace mitch mcconnell whether that's going to be as minority leader

or senate majority leader both are well known around the capitol have been at it for years and years have a wealth of experience. and have good relationships within theirir caucus which is definitelyly needed in order to win those internal leadership battles. >> don't worry we have over three months to continue to speculate about the leadership battle election to happen between now and then let me take calls paul is waiting in louisiana independent paul you're on with scott wang. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> i have a couple of questions maybe you can help me with. number one, if we have a government shutdown, the bottom line is they override everything. everybody gets paid. it's -- it's nothing. number one.. number two, i want to ask you a question because you're in the news media. why is our news media exactly like the russian news media and

and the bottom line is, i don't understand how all of these people on the democratic -- on, you know, amuse me just fall in line. they lie, they lie, they lie. and they don't actually tell you what's beginning on in the country. many times in the past now how your response. >> i would certainly push back against karl second point. we have a very different freedom of the press in this country in which we are not prosecuted for things that we write or say on tv airwaves such as this. on this -- first point about the impacts of a government shut down, certainly people would feel the impacts of a shutdown perhaps not immediately. but if it was something that dragged out over weeks and months, we have seen in our ten

years up here, john, shut downs happen. where national parks get closed. you know, things that do inconvenience people'ss lives some services that people rely onon do get reduced. yes, federal workers very likely would receive back pay as they have in the past. but also -- thousands if not, in fact, millions of federal workers would be put on furlough at a time when -- there's ah number of people in this country that are sort of living pay i dhoak paycheck reay struggling to make ends meet. that being said, i think we're heading in a very positive direction in terms of funding the government in avoiding a shutdown i expect that we will not be in that situation come next week. >> i would go back to caller second question, and questioning you and the national yeetd. i would point out you've been on this program 84 times over the years. this programut and other c-span

programs. but taking calls over the years dating back to -- 2018 has been on 84 times. not every congressional national political reporter congressional reporter comes on c-span and takes viewer phone calls answers questions so i guess to the caller you can watch scott wang over years 84 different times, and see how he's taken calls in that time so thank you for coming on all of those times. >> y i appreciate being on. ellen in delaware, good morning. >> yes. isn't article 1617 whatever source divides isn't that our politics since 1915? they use article 16, i mean, whatever source devised and divide everybody.

run people down. we have no real what do you want to call this inner spirit, loud of the mouth of so many people, and what is the effect of article 16 and shutting down our government? >> alan when you refer to alan 16 what are you referring to? >> the constitution article 16. whatever source devised -- use it. to run down our everything and we used to appoint senators for six terms. now they're elected by party. and this has been our republican, republic has gone down, down, down. >> ellen in delaware trusting government and shut downs. >> seems to be her concern. >> yeah. as i said before -- i think you know, over the 15

years or so that i've been here in washington, we have seen the government shutdown at times. it -- there is immediate temporary pain that happens. there are impacts to federal workers to people who rely on government services. people who have perhaps had -- had planned vents in national parks and things like that get disrupted when those parks closed or they wanted to have scheduled a trip to washington, d.c. to visit certain memorials or the smithsonian those trips are certainly disrupted, but in all cases the government has always opened up. there have people have realized that shutdowns are politically damaging. shutdowns do not necessarily achieve any sort of goal in the end, and so -- you know, it always ends up in a

positive place is what i would say. >> i guess after that what caller was referring to she said article 16 she's -- the 16th amendment i guess is what she was referring to that congress had power to lay collect taxes on income that whatever source arrived without apportionment without any census or enumeration that's 16th amendment of the constitution this is new jersey democrat, good morning. >> yeah. i have a couple of questions for you. one regarding the debate between trump and harris. you know, do you think there might be another one prior to the election although the election has started so i understand why he's hesitant but the other question i have for you you know i was listening to you when you said about -- the media and the one thing that i just want to say is that the media has been exposed. you don't tell the truth you absolutely don't tell the truth.

now i have a question for you i know on january 6th milly said he did trump did ask for the 20,000 national guard to defend the white house, and was turned down in the course that nancy pelosi and them turned it down. does the news media report that that's one of the questions i have. that's the main one. thank you. >> few questions there january 6th, and a second debate is what i got. [laughter] >> quite different topics. on the debate, certainly the kamala harris campaign is pushing for a second debate. trump has not agreed to a second debate yet. but certainly the harris campaign believes that a second debate would be in their benefit and so stay tuneded on that one. we're not sure where that's heading. but you know, i think debates in general the more you have, they are helpful certainly to have two or three debates i think would be helpful for the

american public to be able to discern which candidate will be the best next president of the united states. on the second question on january 6th and you know, what is the truth? i mean, we nbc have covered that issue. to the best of our ability. we have i covered it rigorously. we havees looked at various angles, surgery we covered the january 6th hearings of 2022. which were i think, shed important lightch on what had transpired during those months leading up to january 6th and on that day and what various political leaders were doing during that period. we have also me personally have covered some of the republican counter investigations including one led by senior member of the house administration, committee who has been looking into, in

fact, investigating the investigation into january 6th, and certainly doing so from a republican perspective although i will say that lauter milk emphasized he wants to get as much information out into the public that is possible because he doesn't have a political bent at this but he wants to simply make morent information, more documents, more video available for the public to make their own determination. >> on hearings bring it back to this week on capitol hill. what are you watching for this week with members still here in d.c.. what will be the key hearings that viewers will probably see on c-span later this week? >> there's going to be a key hearing on thursday focused on the task force. that has the bipartisan task force assigned to investigate the assassination attempts into donald trump.

this iss probably the most important hearing of the week. they are focused on sort of the breakdowns and communication with local and state law enforcement as we know -- from looking at the butler, pennsylvania, incident that is definitely attempt where president trump's ear was grazed by a bullet. we know that local law enforcement was charged with securing some of the buildings on the outside of the perimeter. including theth one where -- the suspected gunman fired shots from at president trump. unfortunately, killing an individual in the stands and wounding a number of others. and so -- some of my colleagues julia ansly and kelly o'donnell at nbc reported on friday that the secret service put out a report that looked at some of the breakdowns and communication and poor planning leading up to that

incident. what they found was that one of the local law enforcement that was put in charge of the perimeter actually had worked with another local law enforcement group that was responsible for that building, in fact, that second law enforcement group had not had direct communication with the secret service itself. so that's what i was talking about in terms of a breakdown in communication. with this special task force will be examining all of those issues -- at a hearing this week. >> other hearings -- you noted when we were talking about hearings that kamala harris's name is starting to show up more and more in the titleses of house hearings this week. >> right. and so -- before the -- before lawmakers came back from their summer recess this month, all of the hearings had been focused on biden administration in terms of a title. so you know biden administration

is responsible for the breakdown at border at the border -- biden administration has been responsible for the catastrophe regarding the afghanistan withdrawal and now we're seeing because -- has a newe party nominee, we are seeing the titles of these hearings shift to you know targeting biden-harris administration so there will be a number of hearings happening this week this with the titles of, you know, challenges with the biden-harris administration one of those is titled trafficked exploited andid missing. migrant children, victims of the bide about harris administration that will be a sub committee for homeland security. so that's just one example of that. >> plepght going on this week in capitol hill couple if you have questions for scott as we talk about the week ahead this is bernie in kentucky bernie go ahead. >> hi. hello scott.

hello -- yeah. i want to talk about all of the lying that's going on with the media. from what i understand -- aren't stories verified through the legal department? i think i saw i went to a talk with -- john meacham i think maggie that question came up things are verified before you all post them; right? am iou correct in thinking that? >> scott? >> we have a very rigorous process before posting stories. you know, i won't get into all of the knity gritty details and legal aspects of it. but -- yougr know, first of all myself i'm a veteran. journalist i've been doing this for the better part of 20 years, starting in local government covering state capitol in phoenix arizona and last 15 years covering capitol hill,

recall it as i see it i don't have bias i don't favor individuals. i d report the news as i see it and as i have verified it with a number of sources. those stories often are in collaboration with other colleagues and so there's a give and that i can happens with not only colleagues but also our editing theft. so every story at nbc is edited by if not one editor multiple editors and so there is -- there's a very rigorous process that happens with, you know, before a story even appears online on nbc news.com. >> viewer with the time we have left and it is less than two minutes wants to go back to the save act. and -- what that wou do ift was passed by congress and if it werere signed byhe president seems unlikn this administration and in the congress. but the viewer wants to know

your guest discu who does it affect would we have to prove citizensh before we vote in what happens if a birth certificate doe have the same name as your driver's license. how much have you gotten into this with the save act? >> those are tough questions and i would invite viewer to go read thee save act it is available online. what i will say is what i forgot to mention earlier is yes it is already --in illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections in this country so that's -- that's a significant point. republicans have pushed back by saying that, you know, they want to make voting as, you know, they want to make -- these provisions as astringent as possible to ensure that nothing slips through the cracks here they believe there are numerous cases of illegal voting happening in the past election and they're worried about this election. what we know from reporting is

that there has been no significant number of undocumented people voting. this act would require yes, all people to show proof of citizenship when they register to vote. so it would not apply to only one specific group. it would apply to everybody, and it would require a proof of citizenship. >> and if viewers want to read it themselves congress.gov a good place to go or hr had 281 known as save act scott wang we have to end it there this morning but i'm sure we'll chat again especially before election day. scott wang nbc news senior congressional reporter always appreciate the time. >> john thanks for having me. >> c-span washington journal, our live forum involving you to discuss the latest issues and government, politics and public policy. from washington, d.c. to across
