can see so far there have been four democratic nays, we'll keep an eye on those different columns. these bills are facing significant republican opposition. that's why democrats may end up stepping in. far right members threatening speaker johnson's job over this. let's get right over to nbc's ali vitali who's tracking the very latest on capitol hill for us. walk us through what we expect of this vote this morning and after those unusual dynamics overnight. >> reporter: we're expecting it to be bipartisan in fashion, ana. a lot of movement around me here because these are the steps that lawmakers take to go up into the chamber to vote. some of them of course are already on the floor now. if you're going to see and you're looking at the vote tally in the house chamber right now, you're likely to see a lot more republican votes happening than you are to see democrats voting. it might look like that because our understanding is that they might be waiting, the democrats to see how many of them they actually need to join with republicans and help them get

he won't fulfill his obligation. why is the border not in this package? because greta we didn't have the votes to do it. if i don't have republican votes that means we have to have democrat votes. >> reporter: and it's important what he's saying here about the border bill because that's part of the frustration that some house conservatives have here, which is that they wanted to see tougher border security before they moved on getting aid out to any of these other american allies. that's why we're seeing them not just vote against the rule both on the floor and in committee, but also there was supposed to be at some point today a vote on a separate border bill. they can't even do that right now because they don't have the votes, and they could not get it out of the rules committee. yet another reminder of the tough dynamics that speaker mike johnson is working with here. >> we just saw there is a democrat who's now voted for this most recent vote to get it through to that full house vote eventually. interesting to hear those words from the speaker. i barely have control over my own party. thank you so much, ali. keep us up to speed.

strike with surface to surface missiles, whether these were missiles launched from aircraft or whether they were drones. ana, i will tell you here in tel aviv right now, the situation is calm. it is quiet, and very significantly the israeli military has not imposed new restrictions either here in central israel or up in the north near the border with lebanon, and that is an indication that israel feels at least at this point that there is not going to be imminent iranian retaliation. >> raf sanchez, thank you for bringing us the latest there. >> ali, israeli officials reportedly gave the u.s. a heads-up here. how is the biden administration responding this morning? >> yeah, ana, you heard raf mention it's now been more than 12 hours since israel's strike, and despite efforts overmight and throughout the morning, we haven't received official reaction from the white house or president biden, and that is likely by design, as u.s. officials try to distance themselves and try to deescalate this situation, trying not to

>> and so, ali, we look at the numbers, pretty strong yeas, more than 300 yeas so far. but if you could kind of explain to us a little bit about how unusual it is that in the rules committee, the vote would be a bipartisan vote, when the rules committee, which is the committee that really determines what is and or not able to be discussed and voted on at the floor, normally just takes a party line vote. >> reporter: yeah. they're the gatekeepers, jose. the rules committee are the gatekeepers to whatever legislation will get a full floor vote. that's why we are here today, watching this vote playing out. because late last night the rules committee did something and they did it in a very rare way. you're right, this is typically a committee that functions solely based on party narrow a. the problem is that three

that -- >> ali, sorry to interrupt you, here is the speaker. >> -- into four separate measures for consideration and that's what we will have tomorrow. everyone can vote their will and their constituents' desires on the israel aid, the ukrainian aid, the indo-pacific and our fourth national security package that has all of our innovations in it. because we did this process, we got a better outcome here. we have a lot of innovations that the senate did not consider. we consider the repo act, the use of corrupt russian oligarchs' assets to help fund the resistance in ukraine. we also included some really important sanctions on russia and china and iran, which i believe is the new axis of evil and many of us do and they're the ones who are the aggressors in this situation. the reality here is that if the house did not do this better policy and process, allowing for amendments on the floor in the process tomorrow, we would have

the courtroom, the judge said every time you curse in my courtroom, i'll fine you a thousand dollar and the legend goes he shows up the next day for a check for $100,000 and said, judge, just let me know when that runs out. former president trump is going to push the envelope as much as he can and not going back off, violating the orders put in place where he's not supposed to make public statements. you got it treat him the way you treat any normal person who did this, not that normal people do this often, but don't think it is enough to stop him. i think the gag order stays in place, i think he'll continue to violate it. it is going to be a lot of back and forth throughout the duration of this trial. >> yasmin vossoughian, barbara mcquaid, david henderson, thank you. back to capitol hill, breaking news there. ali vitali. what do we know? >> reporter: this rule has now passed in the fashion that we expected it to. but certainly in a considerably rare way, which seems to be the word of the day here because of the way that the house is conducting its business.

had to eat this senate supplemental bill. and that is because we're very close, given the timeline in both israel and ukraine, to a discharge petition being brought. and discharge petition and layman's terms is that when a number of members or majority of members get together, they can override the speaker and bring something straight to the floor. that would have happened imminently on the senate supplemental. by doing this, even though it is not the perfect legislation, it is not the legislation that we would write if republicans were in charge of the house and the senate and the white house, this is the best possible product we can get under these circumstances to take care of these really important obligations. so, we look forward to the vote tomorrow. we look forward to every member voting their conscience and their desire and that is exactly how this process is supposed to work and how the house is supposed to operate. we're happy to provide that. we'll give you more comment tomorrow. >> thank you. >> ali vitali, we just heard there what you were giving us a little update on, that it will
