This comes just hours before finding was set to expire, which would have affected millions of americans and their families. Theres lots to get to this hour. Lets bring in nbc news capitol hill correspondent ali vitali, and National Reporter sahill kapoor. And we actually heard Michael Bennett speak on the senate floor. What did he have to say . Thats exactly right. Because you will remember that just a few hours ago, we wondered if senator Michael Bennet of colorado would be the one to hold this whole thing up. And certainly, he did provide a hold for about an hour or so, over the idea that no ukraine funding was included in this continuing resolution. Bennett certainly not the only one who was upset to find that that money was not included here. But what he was able to do, by putting this temporary hold on, was extract from leadership, and both the democratic and republican sides, a statement which is sure there would be a future push on ukraine funding in the form of a supplemental. You and i have talked about this several times over the course of the night. It is unclear if this supplemental will solely ukraine focused, if there will be other priorities, or pieces of policy used as leverage to try to do this in a bipartisan fashion. But i can tell you that senator schumer spoke about the need to continue funding ukraine twice during remarks on the senate floor, both before and after this vote. And then i also heard from senator Mitch Mcconnell, after he said this on the floor, echoing that what a few of us reporters on the floor, of how important it would be to continue pushing military and economic aid to ukraine. His goal is to do that by the end of the year. We know, though, that this sets up another battle on the funding front for right before thanksgiving in november. The Government Funding deadline now is November 17th. And so, we know what date we are working towards. The good news is that we know what date this circled on the calendar. The bad news is to circle and it did not make lawmakers do their work anymore in advance. Thats why we are standing here right now with this, right before the 11th hour deal that avoids a shut down for now, but still kicks a lot of problems and a lot of debates down the road. So, sahill kapoor, what are the key moments it out for you as we kind of watch this play out, and as we made it through both the house vote and then the senate vote to avert this Government Shutdown . Well, ayman mohyeldin, the single biggest moment happen this morning, when Speaker Mccarthy came out of his House RepublicanConference Meeting and announced a stunning turnaround after weeks, and really months, of catering to his rightwing hardliners and refusing to work with democrats in a bipartisan bill and trying to do it with simply republican bills. He announced it was something he had not done in those last few weeks or months, which is put a bill on the floor and Orlando Mcgrath to get it over the line. He blamed those 21 republican hardliners who tanked his republican continuing resolution yesterday, and Spending Cuts and immigration and border provisions that many of them wanted, but short term bill under any circumstances. So, he said this left him with no other options. And he did this in the face of threats by hardliners, most notably matt gaetz, who had been explicitly saying that, if mccarthy passes a short term bill with democratic votes, he would move to overthrow him. Matt gaetz has not done that. Yet but even mccarthy did exactly what matt gaetz had warned him not to do. That was the most significant moment that led to this. That started chain reaction. After that, you have democrats who were kind of flummoxed by this. Mccarthy said any moment the house is gonna be voting on this bill, 71 pages. They have not rented read it yet they wanted to scour it, make sure he was not trying to push any sneaky provisions by. It but at the end of the day, they read it. They took some time i came jeffries and the Minority Leader went on for under the 52minute speech and the decided that, apart from the fact that ukraine aid is not, theyre the loss of the bill is fine by them, and the clincher happened on the other side of the capitol, when Mitch Mcconnell, the Senate Minority leader, pulled support for his own Bipartisan Senate bill in order to boost the prospects of this house bill passing. It essentially left democrats with no options but to move forward. And one other notable aspect of this, ayman, is the new york congressional delegation in the house, which is quite influential, they were in quite a jam here, because new york has been pummeled with rain and flooding lately, and a vote against this bill for a lot of those new york democrats would essentially be a vote against flood insurance. They did not want to do. This they decided to take the win and trade a victory for themselves, keeping it open against what democrats in the white house were calling maga extremism, and live to fight another day. So, i know its still a little bit early, but ali, to go back to sahil kapurs point, do we know whether anything out of the ordinary slipped into this, bill and sometimes things do happen when you see this mad rush . Because clear up for us what happened today, with this kind of 52minute speech that Hakeem Jeffries made on the floor. There were some rumors that others were trying to delay the votes, and the democrats had no chance to read it. But the machinations of that were quite fascinating as it all unfolded. Because it really was so spontaneous. You have to remember that, last night, when we left this building, it was not clear how mccarthy would go forward. But it definitely did not seem like he was going to be Going Forward, extending a hand to democrats or, in this case, really pigeonholing them into having to vote for this. What leader Hakeem Jeffries did was by his caucus time. They were huddled in their own caucus meeting throughout the morning as this was coming together, a, trying to figure out, what was going on, what was the plan going to be, because mccarthy really did spring this vote on the entire rest of the house in pretty short order as sahil kapur were saying. But then, also, for democrats, wanting to make sure that they knew what was exactly in this. This is a reminder that there is a pretty sizeable Trust Deficit between democrats and republicans here for a whole number of reasons. But certainly, democrats were not just going to go along to get along without cr votes to finally realize that he had to slightly changes strategy, and now we see what this was. The reason that mccarthy may have been so reluctant to change strategy until it was clear all of his actions within his conference had been exhausted was because of what sahil was talking about, which is the idea of a one vote motion to vacate looming over every piece of mccarthys speakership, at every Inflection Point the Open Question always is, will he do something to upset one of his hardliners so much that they trigger a motion to vacate . And in this instance, congressman matt gaetz laid out very clearly that if mccarthy reaches across the island as a continuing resolution with democrats, he will be the one to trigger a motion to vacate. We are squarely at that point. The motion should be triggered. And yet, we are waiting to see if matt gaetz actually does this. I was talking to some of his colleagues earlier today. I said, are people talking about a motion to vacate . One of the Lawmakers Said to be, everyone is talking about a motion to vacate. But the question is whether or not it will ultimately be filed. This person did think it would be filed eventually. And when that happens, matt gaetz can put forward that motion, and that could trigger a vote to oust the speaker. It prompts questions about if democrats will save them. Mccarthy and his Leadership Team would be able to push that vote off for about two days, maximum, as they try to get their ducks in a row and what that might look like. But, really, thats yet another chaos moment here in the house, one that, i would imagine, republicans want to avoid, or at least a majority of them. But then a majority of them did not want to shut down the government either. Yeah, so we are going to expect more chaos to unfold in the next couple of days. Sahil, youve got the Senate Meeting tuesday, we know that there mcconnell and schumer saying that they want to make sure that ukraine aid is passed at some point. There is called for the House Democratic leadership, for them to also put ukraine aid on the agenda as quickly as possible. What else is next for lawmakers in the weeks ahead . Were do we go from here . First, ayman, on the ukraine aid front, it is worth noting that there are broad bipartisan majorities in the house and the senate for ukraine aid. Its pretty much unanimous among the democrats, and large factions of republicans in the senate, and the house, who were supportive of. It so, in theory, if this were to get a standalone vote, there is no real a doubt that the administrations request, or at least something close to, it would be able to pass. But this was really the big pound of flesh that House Republicans were able to claim out of the Bipartisan Senate continuing resolution. Mccarthy, again, is facing off the question of just how strongly will his hardliners react if he allows this to move forward. They do want him to use this power and kind of step on the regular process to prevent ukraine aid from passing. So, lets put that aside for a minute. That may or may not happen. That really does come down to how he chooses to play, whether he allows that vote. What is going to happen in the next 45 to 50 days, until November 17th is, thats the hard part. This was the easy part. Usually if the congress temporary status quo basis on a, without much controversy, we have seen that happen many times in the past but House Republicans are moving forward with full year Appropriations Bills that have a lot of Spending Cuts that democrats strongly oppose, that have conservative Policy Provisions on things like immigration, on restricting abortion, on curtailing lgbtq rights that are not going anywhere in the senate, and certainly not going to be signed into law by President Biden. So, these two chambers are still moving on very different tracks when it comes to the actual full year funding bill. And this does not bring us any closer to agreement on that. That is what we are going to be watching for in the coming weeks, how these two chambers are coming forward. The senate is in good shape to pass Appropriations Bills with a bipartisan they are moving sluggishly and slowly, much lower than they had expected, and july, before that big august recess, and House Republicans are having trouble calling all of their votes, and theyre not getting any help from democrats. So, is the house going to be able to pass the bills . Is the senate going to be able to pass their bills . The Conference Committee and, really, his hope is, 45 or 50 days from now, he is still speaker of the house. He did call matt gaetzs bluff, any explicitly said to reporters, after that house vote, if someone wants to bring a motion against, we bring it. That is me quoting Kevin Mccarthy, daring them to file that motion, some think they will fail, ayman, but we will see. We will see if the challenges accepted. Sahil kapur and nbcs ali vitali, thank you. Joining me now, our panel, hayes brown, cofounder of the lincoln project, and former republican congressman charlie dent. Congressman, i will start with. You i will start with something ali, said. September 30th we circled on the calendar. Circle another date on the calendar, i believe november 16th. Nothing fundamentally changes between now and then. Unless, perhaps, you see a change in the Republican Leadership and that entire caucus blows up. Which is a very likely possibility. Its entirely possible that yes as to hill said, Speaker Mccarthy will no longer be speaker by the time we get to the next deadline. There is him and alia are correct that there is not Much Movement so far towards each other in terms of the house and the senate, the appropriations and committee has passed 12 Funding Bills on a bipartisan base. He is on it himself, he voted for most of the bills to pass as well. I got all of them. So, the fact that the bills that the House Republican, they passed for so far out of the 12, the fact that the ones they passed in the homes are trying to pass are still going to be dead in the water in the senate, mccarthy is correct that there is going to be a Conference Committee. But i dont see how that is going to end up in a set of bills that will get all of the gop caucuss vote. The fight that he is finally shifting strategies away from just trying to appease the hardliners, and finding things that can actually pass is a very big shift. Even though it seems like it would be the most obvious thing for him to do. The fact that he is finally done it is, while not exactly laudable, considering that theyre on the brink of a shutdown, the fact that he got there at all, and is calling the bluff from gaetz and the rest of them who are still, theyve not coalesced around a replacement for him, which i think is what is holding this up. They dont know who they want to put the crown on instead, instead of mccarthy. So the fact that this is all coming down the line, it does not help get a bill passed that will actually keep the government funded until next September 30th. Congressman, part of the Sticking Point here as we understood it was the lack of additional funding for ukraine and the short term bill. But immediately afterwards, you got a unified front from both Senate Majority schumer, and mcconnell promising a path forward, specifically on that. How do you envision negotiations on this issue going between the two leaders and ultimately across the aisle . Do you think it will be a standalone measure . Not sure it will be a standalone measure, but its clear that there is a strong bipartisan majority, in the senate and the house, to support further funding of ukraine war effort. I think this is where mccarthy now needs to make another stand and tell this small gang that opposes ukraine funding that the small minority cant dictate to the majority what goes in the bill. I mean, we have votes on issues for a reason. How to vote on ukraine was voted, its long for a small minority to try to dictate the policy to the smaller majority in the congress. Thats what they need to do. In terms of the big question of what must happen now, i was a senior appropriator so i used to help with these bills. In the house Senate Appropriators will have to negotiate those bills, all 12 of them, it shouldnt be hard to do but they will have to negotiate them at the spending levels, agreed to in the law that was passed back at the end of may, or early june, with the debt ceiling. That number, then they can write the bills. All the contentious Policy Writers will go away, as they always do. Every year. And it will focus mostly on the numbers in questions like ukraine. So they will be working on that between now and member 15th. If there are not finish with those built by then they will need another measure, continuing resolution to fund the government again indefinitely for some period of time. But you cant run the government on continued resolutions, on a longterm basis. You can do it now for 45 days, 75 days, but at some point they need to pass these bills. That will require that theyll write the bills, the numbers that is agreed to it in the law, not the numbers that the House Republicans are writing which is below that level. Right. That is the Sticking Point. The senate is writing them the number that is written in the law, so many of them voted for including the speaker. Thats where its going to go. So rick, congressman brings up a really important point. Its something that i asked senator merkley about in the previous segment this evening. In recent years, you have short term Funding Bills, they are becoming more common as the partisanship increases. Given how closely we have gotten to a Government Shutdown, yet again, should congress revisit how these procedural measures take place in the first place Going Forward . Well, im by no means a parliamentary expert on how the house does its budgeting, but i will say this, as long as you have a large fraction of the Republican Party that is dedicated essentially to sort of political nihilism, and showboating and play acting like matt gaetz, Marjorie Taylor greene, brokered, and all of the rest of the weirdo caucus, you will end up with situations like this where they will try
