to continue to push forward and make sure this bill passes. at the risk of being redundant, i think what s clear is there will be no further action in the senate until scott brown is sworn in. all right, joining us for the very first time, siraj hashmi, commentary writer and editor for the washington examiner. welcome to the program. i think there s pretty much no chance in hell they wait on this tax bill. i mean, they re moving fast. right. republicans at this moment need a legislative win. 2017 has been ripe with legislative losses, particularly focusing on the repeal of obamacare and also with respect to daca. i mean, there are few things that republicans can really, you know, hang their heads high on, and the tax bill, really trying get that done before christmas, it seems likely that they ll get it done, but this is really not meeting the standard for at least a lot of conservatives and a lot of people in trump s base that this really meets their standard for a tax cut.
this tax reform passes, which it looks like it might, but republicans have to get ahead of the health care issue if they ll prevent that democratic wave in 2018. last month in maine, the voters overwhelmingly approved anxpansion of medicaid under obamacare. people don t like obamacare. they re upset it s collapsing and costing them a lot of money and they re not able to use the insurance they re buying but they still feel insecure about health care n want to see somebody do something. that s the need that republicans have to address. many of those people who are concerned about c.h.i.p. are also trump supporters. that s the middle class, blue collar vote that trump won. he and the republicans have to get on top of that issue. i need to talk to you more about the tax bill and how trump supporters are going to relate to that but we re out of time. thanks for joining me. joe pollack is a breitbart senior editor at large. all right. i want to tell you a little more about outgoing white
inventing the term, full term abortions. he says education and access to contraception are ways to lesson abortion. he supports permanent legal status for d.r.e.a.m.ers brought here under obama s deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca. and roy moore calls daca permanent evil and supports president trump s border wall and calls for the military on the southern border. health care, more calls for the repeal of obamacare and for government to get out of health care, period. he encourages tax credits to keep premiums down.
site selection. the real test here is in the implementation. i think that lies in the president s hands. i think he knows where he wants to go. shannon: i am told you are going to meet with the president tomorrow. do you want to tell us everything you re going to talk about? i think probably the repeal of obamacare. shannon: that doesn t strike me that that s your topic. do you think you will discuss these issues? foreign policy, north korea and now out with a statement saying it s a matter of when a war will start. there are a lot of complicated issues. the president is roughly one year into the administration and like most presidents, he has tried to focus on domestic issues, but these foreign policy problems that he has inherited continued to press him. i look forward to the meeting. shannon: i m sure he will take some of your advice if not all of it. ambassador, great to see you. new developments tonight and the harvey weinstein sexual-harassment scandal. we will go live
