no, i think that is right, and maybe rubio will get a little bit of something here, and that s might appease other members of the caucus were on the fence, but ultimately, whatever comes out of that conference committee and goes to both houses for an up or down vote, i do not think that there is a single republican that wants to be that s guy or that the gal that kills massive tax reform. dana: i can t either, but you know it? it is 2017. anything is possible. we just heard the president talked about omarosa, and that is newsworthy. literally anything can happen. dana: thanks for being here. so there is a controversial program that is set to expire at the end of this year. some government officials are saying it must be continued. it s the best thing that ever happened to me.
democrat of alabama, will be seated in the senate. so the president is only has a margin of one vote before he gets a tiebreaker. and it is likely that if he gets one or two republican senators that are still a no, then the bill will be pulled again, and we may not get tax reform. that would be a huge blow to the president, so he may be and a generous mood. he may be in a giving mood of this christmas when it comes to senator rubio. it twisted some arms and maybe get a little bit more. soon they are trying to press their advantage while they have it, but i find it very hard to imagine that they would ultimately vote against the president and be that vote. it john roberts, thank you very much. i have in studio me karl rove. we are going to continue to talk about this right after the brea break.
and it do you think that you may need president trump to weigh in here? while, the entire administration are very focused on this. many of us at the county level, my level, are up in the hill every day, and talking to you and the press, talking to the public, explaining the importance of him. so that s message has sent clearly. dana: so may be right up the line, is the deadline actually the 31st of december? that is when the deadline expires, so if nothing is done before that, we will immediately lose that. dana: all right, rachel brand, thank you so much for being here today and explaining all this to us. so that s was a fun, interesting show. we had sarah send is briefing, we had president trump s remarks about deregulation, karl rove, and then rachel brand on that very important issue. thanks for joining us. i am rachel perino.
people against a similar type of massacre? has anything but none? what is the administration trying to do? is there anything at the executive level that he has undertaken? secretary sanders: look at, i think there are a number of different ways that we look to protect our citizens. every single day. at one of the areas that the president has been outspoken about, not necessarily to those two instances, but more broadly, speaking in terms of national security and protecting individuals, certainly in. stronger vetting processes. looking at whether or not there are other regulations that we can put in place that would offer protection. these are people who entered the united states. secretary sanders: and like i said, i am speaking more broadly, in terms of national security as a whole. and look at, this is a president who knows that his number one responsibility is to look for ways to protect american citizens, and we try to do that every single day.
are very close to that. secretary sanders: the trump administration supports the fcc s decision to roll back at some regulations, but as we have always done and will continue to do, we support free and fair internet. anything beyond that, i would refer you to the fcc. what happened down there did not change the president s relationship with steve bannon, given his support for moore s remark and mr. bannon s oppositional? secretary sanders: i am certainly not going to speak for him. the second part of the question, you asked, i cannot answer that in terms of their relationship appeared i have not spoken with the president of directly about the nature of that relationship, and whether that has been altered. francesca. you said that you cannot go much further, but i do want to try to separate out the things that we have been hearing.
