He didnt have my support anymore and he doesnt have the support of a requisite number of republicans to continue as speaker. Matt gaetz makes his move against Kevin Mccarthy. What will the speaker do now. You always count me out. Im telling you the same thing i tell you every time. I never give up. Good morning to our viewers in the United States and around the world. Im kasie hunt. It is tuesday, october 3, and this morning the ball is in Kevin Mccarthys court after florida congressman matt gaetz made good on his threat, he filed a motion to have mccarthy removed as Speaker Of The House. Mccarthys message to gatetz ha been bring it on. Now that gaetz has, republicans are likely to try procedural maneuvers to kill gaetz motion without holding a vote to oust mccarthy directly. But mccarthy will need to turn to democrats. The whip count shows five republicans say that they are standing with gaetz. Mccarthy can only afford to lose four. If Kevin Mccarthy goes and makes a dirty deal with the democrats to keep power, i think that the people in this country will rise up and go hand that their representatives and their lawmakers accept a more responsible path. Gaetz calls it a dirty deal because democrats wont give Kevin Mccarthy anything for free. As one congresswoman put it, the word of the week is leverage. Gaetz has been trying to convince Progressive Democrats to help him dethrone the speaker, one of mccarthys allies had a warning for those democrats, the ones who might be thinking about that. I guess democrats need to determine first and foremost whether they want to align themselves with matt gaetz. And as of right now, most democrats are waiting on their leader Hakeem Jeffries to weigh in with a plan. I think our two leaders need to talk and i think that we ought to come to an understanding. I hope we can. There is a lot of different considers here. But at the end of the day, im waiting to hear from leader jeffries. He has earned that right from ever democratic member. To help us game it out, lets bring in michael snell, congressional reporter for the hill. Great to have you back on the show. There is a lot going on here. Part of me honestly was waiting last night to see if gaetz was actually going to do it because it seemed like maybe he was going to chicken out honestly at the last minute, but he didnt and here we are. What happens next . You are right. Matt gaetz went to the floor a couple hours earlier at noon and delivered a floor speech in what many folks thought would be that motion to vacate. At the end of it, he said stay tuned and then we saw it after votes last night. So the question of what comes next, obviously that is key. Because it was brought up as a privileged resolution, that meanses essentially gaetz can force a vote in a speedy matter. So gop leadership will have to set a vote on this motion to vacate the chair within two legislative days. So that means either today or tomorrow. And as you laid out at the top, leadership will likely try to quash it with some procedural motion, whether a vote on tabling the measure, a vote on referring it, what have you, and again that would shield lawmakers from having to weigh in directly on whether or not mccarthy should remain speaker. But the procedural votes will still put Mccarthy In The Hot Seat and his colleagues in a tough position deciding do they side with him or go against him. No, it is a very interesting came none Dunan Annone Drum for them. Lets talk about those who are with mccarthy. None drum for a l them. Lets talk about those who are with mccarthy. Gaetz doing this derails what they want to do before mid november when the government shuts down again. They have to worry about this first. Take a look. It is absolutely personal. It is unacceptable. We have a lot of work to do for the american people. He has claimed that the reason he would do it is because Kevin Mccarthy didnt fulfill his promise of passing all 12 Appropriations Bills by october 1. Guess what . We passed 70 of all the funding for government. We still have the 30 to go. So he says it is personal. And that idea about a potential Government Shutdown, i think that is a key point here. I spoke to congressman Ryan Fitzpatrick last night, he is a moderate republican, and he said because of this effort to force votes on ousting mcquacarthy, wh gaetz said he wont stop at the first one if it fails, he is likely do it over and over again, it will probably lead to a Government Shutdown because it will take up floor time and a lot of attention of lawmakers. And when you get into the question of is it personal or based on policy, matt gaetz publicly saying that this is because speaker Kevin Mccarthy has not met a series of demands that have to do with policy and spending. Of course the continuing resolution that he put on the floor this weekend to overt a shutdown, that frustrated a lot of conservatives, including matt gaetz. But at the end of the day, this relationship between matt gaetz and Speaker Mccarthy has always been acrimonious. Remember back to january, that matt gaetz never actually threw his support behind Kevin Mccarthys bid for speakership. Throughout all 15 battles. And they have been engaged in a war of words in the past. So i think that while matt gaetz could be frustrated with some of the demands by mccarthy, i think there is also a personal tinge to it. And there is and on going Ethics Inquiry Into Gaetz that it seems that people around him people believe Kevin Mccarthy is allowing to go forward. A lot of deep personal acrimony here in addition to all the politics. Thank you very much for being here and getting us started this morning. Thanks for having he me. And coming up here, does Speaker Mccarthy have a secret deal with joe biden . More on the drama that matt gaetz has unleashed. Plus what trumps former accountant said in court about his Financial Statements. And new york family relieved days after their little girl was abducted. Details on that ahead. I fully expect the speaker and the majority of the republicans in congress to keep their commitment to secure the passage of the support needed to help ukraine as it defends itself against russian aggression and brutality. Continued funding for the war in ukraine becoming a central part of the drama over whether Kevin Mccarthy will remain speaker. His chief Informationmenter Matt Gaetz demanding for Know Whether Mccarthy made a deal with President Biden to allow a standalone vote after biden said Thisoff T Over the weekend. Will you be able to trust Speaker Mccarthy when the next deal comes around . We just made one about ukraine. So well find out. So here was gaetz on this yesterday. Members of the Republican Party might vote differently on a motion to vacate if they heard what the speaker had to share with us about his secret side deal with joe biden on ukraine. Ill be listening. Stay tuned. Mccarthy insisting that there is no such deal. Secret plan with the white house . Stop saying something there is not true. S there not a secret plan. Lets bring inin max foster. Always wonderful to see you. Were back explaining this again to everybody because ukrainian official says that ukraine is being held hostage in americas internal games. But that they feel that if washington would stop helping k kyiv, that possibility is slim. My read is that is correct, but i do think that Kevin Mccarthy needs to get through this this before he can say yes, ill put it on the floor. That puts them in a tough spot for right now. Yeah, a lot of european politicians are trying to calm any sense of panic as it were. Reality is that ukraine to . Extent is hostage to the United States because the United States provides most of the funding in the war. The war cant carry on without the funding from the u. S. But they keep talking about how President Biden is so behind ukrainian funding but American Politics is incredibly unpredictable as you outlined. And so i dont know how they can be so sure. But i think what americans might want to consider is this show of force yesterday in kyiv. The eu Foreign Ministers all coming together showing full assume for ukraine. And also adding in hundreds of millions of dollars more money into the war in ukraine. So what they are saying there is we are fully behind ukraine, so if the republicans are those particular republicans do stop funding or push for a stop of funding of the war in ukraine, that undermine those alliances. It is a much bigger problem than just ukraine. And i think that it is so important that you undercore that. Quite honestly, i think the feeling here in washington is this band of people who oppose this probably dont care about what the view is from europe. But in terms of, you know, the broad kind of diplomatic realities that the broader u. S. Government is dealing with, it is actually really important and i do think that the bottom line in terms of whether these officials abroad can be certain about u. S. Commitments, it is there, the majority vast majority of members of Congress Want to fund it, but the problem is the system allows for this small group to reek quite a bit of havoc. So lets talk for a second about what is going on in azerbaijan. This is something that doesnt get a ton of coverage over here necessarily day in and day out, but i think it is a really critical possibly unfolding conflict. Azerbaijan is Againing A Cross Border Attack or a mean armeni. There are more than 100,000 refugees that have fled from nagornokarabakh and many feel abandoned by russian basically. Russian peacekeepers had been keeping the region safe. Armenia had previously had a Russian Alliance a military alliance with russia. And now they are talking about leaving it, the russians are Saber Rattling over this. Help us understand what is going on and whether that would be a right move for russia. We saw images from there yesterday because there were u. N. Peace keepers allowed in and it is like a desert town. There is no one there. So it was extraordinary to sort of see that. There wasnt really much that they could discover. We know that all those armenians have left. And we know that this probably wouldnt have happened if armenia hadnt shifted its focus from russia to the west working much more closely with america and western nations. Because when those were forced out, russians didnt prevent it from happening. What does it mean for armenia now . Thosele politicians that are pro west are probably going to say russia didnt protect us, we need to move much more closely to the west. Meanwhile as you are right to point out very little skirmishes across the border between the two countries, the concern is that if that blows up and other nations that have a role to play here, russia and turkey might get involved in that, were a way away from that, it is pretty contained at the moment, but well have to wait for any further skirmishes on that border. As well as humanitarian obviously 100,000 refugees, quite a thing to deal with. Max foster, thank you very much.

Congressman matt gaetz . Just did. All right, good morning, thank you for getting up early with us. Im kasie hunt. Wonderful to have you with us. It is hoist speaker Kevin Mccarthys move. Matt gaetz made good on the threat to try to oust him from the speakership on the house floor. I have enough republicans where at this point next week, one of two things will happen. Kevin mccarthiment would be the Speaker Of The House or he will be the speaker working at the pleasure of the democrats. We could find out in a matter of hours. Several sowses say mccarthy is expected to make a procedural move as early as today to try to kill the gaetz measure, the first stein of where his support lies or doesnt. Mccarthy making a notable shift in tone yesterday. So earlier this month he was placating hardliners by green lighting an Impeachment Inquiry into joe biden. But yesterday suddenly a need of democratic help, he said this. I think this is about the institution. So it is up now to Hakeem Jeffries who has not played his hand yet. But Jeffries Team yesterday did point to remarks that jeffries made on a podcast back in january. Listen to this. Once the house laelects a speaker, the house should lelec a speak for that term. That is my view of it. And some progressives are saying that they will vote to oust the speaker, but many rank and file members are holding their fire. Would you be willing to help Kevin Mccarthy keep the speakers gavel . This is totally up to our leadership. I expect right now Hakeem Jeffriesen and the other leaders are negotiating with him. If the good morning democrats save mccarthy, well have to have a rearrangement of the Power Structure within the congress. Lets bring in jackie kucinich, political analyst and from the boston globe. Never a dull moment on both of our former everyday beat. Weve not seen anything like this play out in modern times. But lets talk about where the democrats are right now. I thought it was so interesting that they pointed to that Hakeem Jeffries comment that said the speaker gets elected for a term. It is a very strong suggestion that jeffries is potentially looking to find a way to keep Kevin Mccarthy hanging on to that gavel. What are the calculations behind the scenes . I think it is one thing to find a way, it is what you get for it i think that is real
