i think it s clear that this bill could very well be much more of a political liability to them than a political benefit. neera, i have seen tax legislation rushed in the past. once it gets into the legislative process not at the hearing stage, where people are examining the issues in hearings and ways and means in the finance committee. but once you get into the committee actually voting and moving on the floor, i ve seen them move fast in the past for one reason. and that was to stay ahead of the lobbyists. they would move fast because they had provisions in there that they knew the corporate lobbyists would not like, closing of certain loopholes that corporate lobbyists would not like. and the reason they were rushing it was so that the corporate lobbyists would not then get their claws into it. this is the opposite. this is rushing it so that the bad stuff will survive. and not we re rushing it so that the good stuff will survive, which is what i used to see. thinking bill is g
legislation might actually cost donald trump some money. but she has never seen a trump tax return, and obviously has no idea what she is talking about. so it would be a disservice to you for me to burden you with the actual sound of her lying. but it should come as no surprise that the presidential campaign that was run on the big lie that donald trump s tax returns were under audit and therefore could not be released has now allowed that big lie to take up residence in the white house. the first white house in the modern era that has not released the president s tax returns. joining us now, daniel dale, washington correspondent for the toronto star and neera tendon, president for the american center for progress. there are so many reasons why presidents release their tax returns, presidential candidates release their tax returns. and today is the prime example. we want the know what your personal interest is in legislation like this. and that s something america is
with this bill they decided with the health bill as well that if they do things quickly, they can just do them without consequence to them. i don t know if that s correct. this is a massively unpopular bill, like their obamacare replacement plans were. it s very much underwater. the public is angry about this. we ve had protests around the country. and so we do have provisions that benefit trump certainly, and certainly members of the senate and members of the house. and the calculation seems to be that these provisions are worth the possible consequences, or that they can convince the public over time that these consequences, the bill was beneficial for members of the public, rather than for members of the house and senate. and i don t think democrats agree. and i don t think a lot of political analysts agree. i think it s clear that this bill could very well be much more of a political liability to them than a political benefit. neera, i have seen tax legislation rushed in the past
donald trump and his supporting cast of liars are lying about his tax returns today. the white house press secretary actually extended her lying to the point of saying that the tax legislation might actually cost donald trump some money. but she has never seen a trump tax return, and obviously has no idea what she is talking about. so it would be a disservice to you for me to burden you with the actual sound of her lying. but it should come as no surprise that the presidential campaign that was run on the big lie that donald trump s tax returns were under audit and therefore could not be released has now allowed that big lie to take up residence in the white house. the first white house in the modern era that has not released the president s tax returns. joining us now, daniel dale, washington correspondent for the toronto star and neera tendon, president for the american center for progress. there are so many reasons why presidents release their tax
about. in fact, several democrats pointed out how the republican obstruction would directly impact women s health. yes, it is a war on women. because if they really cared about women and they didn t like obama care, they would still have a proposal on the floor to keep these fine pieces of the legislation. what is with this idea of repeal? do you really want to take away these benefits from women? from children? from men, from families? yeah, i guess you do. let s turn to neera tendon. thank you for joining us tonight. great to be with you. what possible reason do the republicans have for attaching this to a cybersecurity bill? you know, i think actually this was a very instructive debate. i m so glad you broadcast it because what has been happening is that you see the republicans, republican senators, and republicans in the house, really using the legislative process to
