you need a handful of republicans on board and none have signaled that they would. we mentioned the senate going away. fewer than 40 republican saying they would not buy onto anything, biden might have a pass. more than 40 means they get to do as the 60 vote threshold. biden has been waiting to see what happens. there is not a guarantee mccarthy would pass the bill in the first place. a long stretch of votes needed to win the speakership has left him a precarious footing where the threshold for him facing a potential booting for the job by members is lower than it would be normally. now, it is sort of consolidated. it is the two of them is the short answer. host: about 11 working days until the deadline, the president is supposed to travel to the g7. any talk of postponing the trip to resolve the issue? guest: no talk of that yet. a single digit days almost where the president, the speaker and senate leaders are in washington at the same time. the deadline is a moving part. we do not want to lose sight of that. a new forecast saying it could be early june, could be e

there were 29 republican boards, news and that could have scuppered the whole idea about them was 52 democrats coming in at the very last minute to give him their backing. if that meant that the house would vote on this this evening, no. the reason that is going to be $750.00 is because when the deal was agreed, kevin mccarthy said he would give every member 72 hours to look over the bill that runs out at $750.00. does this mean that the bill will go through almost certainly the will, as you said, the defections on the right of the republican party on the left of the democratic party and they are not happy with what's in the deal about kevin mccarthy thinks he has the votes and certainly told reporters after it go through the 1st thought is that their posts, the democrats did exactly what he would do if he was in their position. wait until the last minute. and he said it was a essentially saying, is this done? but one that he would have pulled as well, but it looks as if there's going to be enough bipartisan cooperation for this to go through a biggest hurdle, which is of course, pas

convince not only they have to convince not only the democratic lawmakers but also republican lawmakers to get on boardeaction we get from those potential on the far side of either party, the republicans pushing i think for broader spending cuts in this deal. it doesn't look like these are deep spending cuts. essentially almost a spending freeze for the next two or three years. and democrats will be looking hard at what types of requirements were attached to any sorts of federal aid programmes. those appear to be redlines for the president. we know that they spoke earlier today on the phone. kevin mccarthy and joe biden, and we know they will be speaking again. thank you for reporting through this long night and this long weekend, jess parker. thank you for bringing us upto—date. we can get more on this framework deal that we are hearing coming out of capitol hill. joining me live is leigh ann caldwell, a political reporter for the washington post, as well asjoel rubin, who served in the obama administration as deputy assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs. i would like to thank both of y

democrats have 51 senators which means they will need republicans on board to back them. now that the vermont democratic senator bernie sanders is going to vote no to the bill. we know there are six republicans who will vote for the bill. so they have to get people on board. let's say there is unanimous consent, wishful thinking. the debate will be skipped and it will go to a vote and end up on president biden's desk to be signed. there are republicans who are saying that they are going to basically put roadblocks out there. they are going to want to debate this. senate majority leader chuck schumer is preparing for his party to stay in over the weekend to get this over the line. >> there could be more late nights on capitol hill. thank you so much for your reporting. and one more note from the world of u.s. politics. next week will be a busy one for the republican 2024 presidential calendar. former new jersey governor chris christie is set to announce that he's entering the race for president on tuesday. he was a supporter of former president donald trump helping him prep

right now there are 28 republican nos on the board. as we say, it's about the math. republicans in the house of representatives can only lose four votes on their side on any given issue without needing a cyst answer the from the democrats. so if you're at 28, now 29, you're in deep hock right now. that's the problem for republicans. if they don't get this through, this place will come screeching to a halt. it probably a good fact that the markets are closed at this stage because they wouldn't be putting the debt ceiling bill on the floor tonight if you can't get this through. that's a problem. i want to point out the 42 democratic nos. the 42 not voting. they're sitting on their hands. sometimes what happens? if you're passing a bill or you need help from the other side, you have what i term up her in case of emergency, break glass votes. so they want to see where this goes and then the leadership might go to them and persuade them to take one for the team. it is very rare for minority members to help out the majority to get the rule passed just to get legislation on

one more question, are you confident speaker of the house kevin mccarthy can get your republican colleagues on boardh any agreement that includes some compromises? you already said not all republicans and democrats will be happy with the end agreement. well, you already see folks on both sides of the aisle, whether its work requirements, or demands that we go to just where we were, just one year ago, fiscal year 2022 levels of spending, not �*23, so we will see. i mean, this is really being tightly held right now as they try to finalise a deal. i want to see the actual legislative text, and again, we have seen this before, where we have rhetoric, we have discussion, but the devil is in the details on what we actually put into text and put into law. that's what many of us will want to see before we make a decision on how we're going to vote. russia' bombardment of ukraine has become an all—too—regular occurrance, with increasingly deadly results. this is a medical clinic in the central city of dnipro, on fire after it was hit by a missile. at least two people died. president zelensky described the at

we have republican and democratic board members and board members from other persuasions around the world. host: we are here to talk about title 42. explain the specifics of that and as a management policy, how has it been since it has been enacted? guest: the way it has been talked about in the press is that it is the toughest measure implement it on the border. in reality, it is not a great enforcement. it has been somewhat unpredictable. a lot of people get in and a lot of people that get sent back to mexico and not to the countries of origin, being that it is, it is preferable to be sent back to mexico. it is a problem because it doesn't allow any access to asylum. i think it has warmed out its -- one out its welcome. -- it has worn out its welcome. host: was that an accurate application of it at the time? guest: it was justifiable. you can make a case during the pandemic, it is easier to return them but it has outlived its usefulness as a public health measure and estate on because people think it is a tough border control measure but i think it is -- -- -- it has many holes. host: w

of us but looking ahead, you mentioned we have to see a certain number of democrats and republicans getting on boarde might see on wednesday because there are also ways that some lawmakers can slow down the process, to maybe try and extract some more demands and bring us even closer to thejune 5 deadline. do you think there are enough lawmakers out there that are happy enough asjoel was saying with this deal that this might get done on wednesday? so, i will say that there is some concern about the 72 hour rule. in order to be speaker of the house, mccarthy made a lot of commitments, including bringing bills to the floor that a majority of his conference support and also that there has to be 72—hour waiting period before the legislation is released until there is a vote. there is some concern among people that that just allows time for people to hear from interest groups, to hearfrom people who don't like this bill and really derail it. and, so, while there is this principle on agreement, they still have to finalise the legislative text, they have to finalise, they have to find the votes and they hav

suggests to me that the path forward to get the republicans on board in the house is going to be them. if we get to the point that the debt ceiling -- and the u.s. treasury doesn't have enough money to pay all of its bills on any particular day, my guess is they will pay principal and interest, because of a, don't they would on a unambiguously be in default. that would have cataclysmic affects our financial markets. less bad option is to pay the principal and interest, but then postponed on other bills, whether or not that's paying social security recipients, putting hospitals and doctors that could've treated medicare and medicaid patients. paying federal workers have worked on -- over half of u.s. citizens. be postponing those payments, but would also -- the economic effects of that are bad, anybody at the side of those transactions that's going to feel the effects of that, but the economic effect would be for, for broader, in effect just about everybody as financial markets would be roiled. even if a bond holder is getting their principal interest on time, who knows what courts dec

because republican has the tougher order with republicans and within his own conference keeping republicans on boardhe can do that by passing the bill two weeks ago before the house went on a short recess. now he's going to get into that room with the power of not only his own caucus in the house, but this letter by mike lee but signed by other 42 republicans saying they're not going to vote for anything on the senate side that is not just a clean spending hike. instead, they also want to see substantive spending cuts. that 43 number is really important. we know the magic number around here is ten republicans with the absence of senator dianne feinstein. that's the number democrats would need to vote with them on any kind of a debt ceiling hype. clearly they don't have those numbers based on that letter right now. >> we're certainly going to be watching with bated breath. nbc's kelly o and ali vitali as well, thank you. >>> just as summer travel is beginning to heat up, new rules are being proposed to make flying a lot less painful. any moment we're expected to see president biden and transportation

he is confident that all of the republicans will get on board in the end and he was asked, what aboutves who were saying, we are not going to vote for this. there are about 30 plus of them. which could really hinder it in the house, never mind before we get to the senate. but he believes, that many of those that are making a big noise about this and have not properly read the bill, basing it on what they have heard or seen on social media and which kevin mccarthy also believes that republicans will get on board and pass it through the house before it then heads to the senate. 1loathiiie pass it through the house before it then heads to the senate. while you are with us we _ then heads to the senate. while you are with us we will _ then heads to the senate. while you are with us we will talk _ then heads to the senate. while you are with us we will talk to _ then heads to the senate. while you are with us we will talk to the - are with us we will talk to the panel about this in just a second to talk to me about mike pence former pike —— vice president throwing his hat into the ring to

the republicans came and mccarthy did a good job getting 218, had 0 democrats. ironic now they are saying they are on board and that just shows me and you've got a lot of republicans who said this isn't a good deal. i don't buy janet yellen's position, i think it's posturing that the sky is falling, we are not going to -- we are going to default on social security and medicare and medicaid. that never was on the table anyway. she's moved the date three times. the x date was june 1st, then came to june 5th, and now june 8th, time to go back to the table. no deal is better than a bad deal, and when you look at the bill we sent over that had the vast majority of the support of the members that gave mccarthy guardrails to protect the interest of this country financially and then to come out with what we did, it's no excuse for this. so, i'm a no vote, it's time to go back to the table and negotiate and call their bluff on the fact that they are going to default. we are not going to default, we are going to pay the bonds, pay social security, but to give the shop away as mccarthy has done in my opinion is unexc

here are the priorities of the republican board in relation to, i mean, the external sector and the ukrainianference as much as possible, so you said that the priority of the bid is green energy and the priority. now i'm talking about ukraine, the republicans said that the ukrainian direction is a priority. zelensky's victory will not cut spending. here the priority remains just money to support 50 billion. this budget does not include the next financial year. they are not taken from there. they are removed from other articles, in order to take 50 billion, of course, it’s unpleasant when a great power only hopes that some distant, crooked americans will cut funding. let's take a look at recent times. to which it was said that the main problem is that the financial support comes from an external printer and it is most likely not up to calculated in the process, according to the planning of the various phases operations. maybe if we go next time. reading and watching what will happen to the budgets on such tanks in the uk and the usa will greatly facilitate it, respectively, the geopolitical eh

barely satisfied with a much more aggressive bill that house republicans passed on a party line basis. they were never going to be on board for a compromise. the question for kevin mccarthy for the speaker was can he minimize those losses and get the vast majority of this republican caucus on board. we'll find out what the answer is, but so far so good for him, his leadership team is projecting confidence. a lot of members outside the freedom caucus we spoke to also say they're onboard with this. they're trying to focus on what's in the bill. republicans who are focusing on what's in the bill are more supportive of it, and the house republicans who are focusing on what's not in the bill, all these steeper cuts that they wanted, are voting against it. we'll see where the numbers break down tomorrow, but we know house democratic leader hakeem jeffries has said he expects 150 republicans to support it, that's two-thirds of the conference. democrats do not want to carry this over the line themselves. they were not in the room for this. they believe it's the job of the house majority to carry it over the line. progressives hav

republican. when you look at the modeling on this particular issue, you're talking about activating women across the demographic boarde well in this, and it's why when donald trump was asked that question the other night with kaitlan collins, he danced around it. he did not want to specifically address it because he knows that data does not look right for republicans on this particular issue. molly's right, we should have left it alone. now we haven't, and now we're going to pay the consequences. >> all right, shermichael, molly, thanks to both of you. appreciate the time. >> thanks, jim. >>> coming up, police say a texas woman traveled to another state seeking an abortion. when she came back, this man, her boyfriend, allegedly killed her. more this disturbing case next.

so you had republicans, you know, the bottom line here is when you look at the numbers, republicans across the board strategy right now, which is he needs to think about the primary. he has to get through the primary. he has to get past donald trump, and that's what he's looking at right now. go ahead. please continue. >> i was just going to say, probably your next point, this is a completely different conversation when you're talking about a general election and you're talking about, you know, a bigger electorate, but he has to get through the primary first. >> i got to say, though, it's fascinating, considering the financial contributions, what disney does financially for the state of florida. it seems desantis's base in the state are siding on the side of the governor, versus on disney, considering what disney really does for the state. you're looking at these high rolling donors, they're wampg how this fight is playing out in the state of florida. part of that is they're wondering where they should place their bets come 2024 presidential election. what does that tell you about what they're looki

board to review complaints against justices. essentially, just holding these nine justices to the same standard as every single lower federal court judge in the country. it shouldn't be that hard. but without ten republicans on that board, the legislation cannot pass. which means unless the supreme court decides to implement an ethics policy upon itself, it can and will keep getting away with it. joining me is sheldon whitehouse, member of the judiciary committee at that hearing today, and thank you so much for being here. i didn't even mention ginni thomas. there is the ongoing scandal of what she was doing in terms of insurrection and harlan crow funding her organizations. but because dianne feinstein isn't there, this is an evenly divided panel. in your mind, what got done today and what can get done unless that configuration changes? >> what got done today is that a lot of light was brought on to the problem of a supreme court that refuses to abide by the code of conduct that applies to all of the federal judges. that has no entity to investigate or check or do fact finding or reach conclusions, so they basically call their own fouls, and you can imagine how well that works. and they get to make up th

that means republicans would have to be on board, including the republican leadership, in order to get there. republican leaders may not be there yet but some republicans are. >> he should have resigned a long time ago. he's an embarrassment to our party. he's an embarrassment to the united states congress. >> would it be better if he resigned? >> oh, absolutely. it's a distraction. and it's a punchline for a lot of commentary regarding the republican party that we don't need. >> so the ethics committee in my opinion needs to act on it now. i think america deserves the answers. >> could you vote to expel him if it came to it? >> you know, if the charges have veracity and they're true, then he should not be a member. i think the ethics will look at if and make that determination. if their determination is expel, absolutely on board. >> now, there are political considerations at play as well. if santos were to resign, it would open up a house seat, a special election in a district that favors democrats, something that could mean they could flip it to the democrats, potentially tighten ke

several republicans are not on board with this deal. pramila jayapal told jake yesterday that the president should be concerned about support among the progressive caucus. what are you hearing from democrats? would they actually stand in the way of this passing? >> well, i think there's a frustration that the pentagon is held harmless and working poor people are going to be forced to work more with the work requirements, and just a frustration of why -- food stamps and work requirements even on the chopping block given the fact that we all know the price for all of us has been going up and up. so there's some disquiet and discontent. the democratic party is not going to prevent america from paying its bills. there's a different standard here. you can't do anything -- it's got to be non-defense. the pentagon which has a lot more money than most poor folks, they'll be held harmless, but we'll put the axe to the low-income folks. i think that's the rub. >> s.e., talk about this moment and the significance of it, vis-a-vis the relationship

every policy issue that matters to conservatives and grass-roots republicans across the board, whether it's taxes and debt, life and families, protecting our children from the woke mob in schools and against corporations, a big difference between him and the presidential field as it stands. that's a great contrast. he comes in with very high favor ability ratings and a lot of upside potential especially for america. we're very excited to see him kick this campaign off and we're excited to help him build this movement. >> neil: what is donald trump's reaction been to you going with governor desantis? you might have heard a thing or two that he does not appear to be a fan of the governor. >> i have heard a thing or two. of course, he was a fan until he wasn't. that's the way that goes. i'm not picking this for personal reasons. the president views everything through a personal lens. for me, the decision was what is best for america. millions of other people are coming to the same conclusion that i have, that the track record of governor desantis' leadership, moving the needle on everythi

republican house speaker defended the law, calling it a compromise. on wednesday, the gop used their manufactured supermajority to override the democratic governor's veto. an editorial boardbelieve a person must wait 72 hours before they can receive an abortion, they spent less than 48 hours publicly debating the 46-page bill before putting it up for a vote. joining us now, north carolina attorney general stein. a poll for earlier this year found 57% of north carolinians supported the state's previous 20-week ban, or wanted to expand abortion access. however, you've got republicans in your state who want us all to believe that what they have found here is a moderate compromise. what should we make of how this all unfolded? >> it was a compromise between the extreme right and the radical right. this does not represent the will of the people of north carolina, as you just pointed out in that poll, people want to have freedoms in this state. but this gerrymandered republican super majority in the legislature is running roughshod over the peoples rights in north carolina, and the folks are fed up. >> there -- is what this means for women in north carolina, and i very much car
