so melanie we were in the trenches on this siobhain it was coalition.re you join the we were workingh and members of congress on the john lewis voting rights advancement act. we had gotten it to the house. all of the sudden they are in the senate. we had 48 commitments. forty-eight commitments we had 48 hard commitments all we needed was for two members of the united states senate to agree to create an exception one time for the filibuster. we worked on those two members. you know their names one is from west virginia, he is retiring. the other is from arizona she is running for reelection. we talk to them and worked very hard to persuade them to grant this exception. let's beat candidate. let's be clear. let's be unvarnished. let's not mince words and did not happen. they block the passage of the jon louisville. the republican blockade was there but we knew it washe but we knew we couldn't move it mitch mcconnell told his caucus under no circumstances do we support voting rights appeared missing something else. this is why this did not happen. we passed the georgia fyd bill twice. i

melanie, nice gig. >> what are you hearing? from lawmakers who did show up apparently we lost melanie zanona as sound. okay. i wonder if he didn't laugh at my funny joke. let's go now to congressman mike lawler from new york. he a republican. he's live on capitol hill clearly not at the greenbrier resort. greenbrier resort in west virginia. congressman lawler our thanks really so bad amongst house republicans right now that you all can't even spend a few days together at a luxury resort in the mountains >> listen jake, we spent a lot of time together, obviously here on capitol hill i have some events in washington tonight and then i'm going back to my district for events tomorrow. but look, obviously, we have been focused on a lot of pressing issues in washington and i know there'll be having a good retreat and discussion about the path forward on a number of key issues, including the supplemental package, which i've introduced a bipartisan bill defending borders, defending democracies to secure our border and get aid to our al

melanie. thank you very much for that joining me now is republican congressman ralph norman of south carolina he is among the house republicans who voted against this spending bill. congressman thanks for being here my pleasure every glad to be with you. >> we know you oppose this government funding bill, one of your colleagues though, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene has filed that infamous motion to vacate to oust speaker johnson over this budget, which a lot of your colleagues are upset about but i wonder, i mean, it has the threat to oust the speaker, which used to be something that was rare, has it become meaningless >> low, it's a tool in the toolbox has always been there and it just hadn't been used up until kevin mccarthy for i think over 100 and some odd years but no, the issue that we're facing now is a budget that is a is abysmal. >> the >> american people do not deserve what they, what they received. we asked speaker johnson not to put this this even up for a vote. and then to

melanie, here we are, yet again. is there any reason to believe that the senate won't make this deal happen? >> well, there's no question that the senate is going to pass this spending package, but there is a question about when they are going to pass that. remember in the senate, it requires cooperation from every single time senator in order to move quickly. and right now, there is a holdup over amendments for some republicans seeking some votes on issues like the border and immigration and many other topics so they are in the process of trying to work out an agreement on potential amendment votes and how to move forward. and it could potentially drag late into the night or early morning, but i would say the bigger hurdle is two weeks now because that is when the rest of the government is going to run out of money. and those are some of the most complicated and tricky and hot button bills in the federal government. right? including the department of homeland security. and of course, republicans are really trying to
