let's talk about this with tim ryan himself. thank you for being with us.he best for christmas to you and your family. >> thank you. >> why are you so angry about a tax cut? people need tax relief and now they are going to get it and this was part of a signature promise? >> some will get crumbs. it's going to be a great christmas for the corporations that are sitting on more crash than ever in their lives and this is the highest time for corpora corporate profits, yet in youngstown they are worried about christmas gifts, and then the other half will be sitting on tax breaks. we are going to china, and after we make payments it's going to be $2.2 trillion that we will give to china to give apple a tax break. yeah, they may throw a few crumbs at the working class people, but this is a big gaveaway. >> 80% of the benefits you guys argue goes to the top, but they also pay 80% of the taxes. the republicans see that as a wash and they say you are going to give them tax cuts because those are the people paying the taxes, but all the way through the income strata,

representative tim ryan will be on morning joe later today. hear from him directly.p in just a little bit. >>> senate republicans set a new record confirming president trump's 12th circuit court judge. vote gives trump the record for most circuit court judges confirmed in office. outpacing john f. kennedy and nixon who previously shared the record. chuck grassley celebrated the vote proud to say the judiciary and senate made history confirming the 12th circuit judge this year. the most in the first year of any president in the 228 year history of our country. now, trump however has a long road ahead with 144 judicial vacancies left to be filled. >>> let's turn to business. rolled back net neutrality rules on a party line vote. dismantling regulations to treat all site traffic and speeds equally. cnbc joins us live from london. what does this mean for the internet and how soon will the impact of this decision be felt. >> morning, louis. despite a lot of resistance. they did in fact end up repealing the net neutrality rules. rules put there in the first place to bar th

. -- and joe, we have tim ryan, congressman tim ryan coming on in a few minutes. the democratic party is energized by what happened in virginia and now the other day if alabama. >> well, you look at everything that's happening right now and it is a clear reaction to everything that donald trump and his republican enablers have done over the past year or two. and we're talking about alabama. we're talking about virginia. you can talk about the fact that 7% republicans have lost 7% of their membership in terms of women, 5% overall, some people actually leaving the party. we always talked about state legislative seats lost under barack obama. well, there had been 14 switches from democratic, from republican to democratic seats since donald trump was elected. zero flips on the republican side. so i just thought it was fascinating and the reason i wrote the column is because you look at the story of the virginia governor's race, which actually turned out much better for democrats than they expected. it's the women that we always talk about that were standing in long li

a moderate democrat from ohio who challenge nancy pelosi tim ryan says that nancy pelosi is less popularhan donald trump and that's makes it hard for democrats to win top races in swing districts where the republicans have to run tv ads tying the democratic candidate to nancy pelosi. watch. >> i have been calling for a leaders to step down and allow a new generation of leaders to step up and lead the party forward for a long time. >> i think that we have this breath and depth of talent within our caucus, and it is time to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders. >> nancy pelosi was a great speaker, great leader, but her time has come and gone. >> i respect any opinion that they have come about my decision is not up to them. i think i'm worth the trouble, quite frankly. >> nancy pelosi wants to hang on, but here's the thing, some of the presidential contenders on the left have been around us long as her. senator bernie sanders 76, senator elizabeth warren is a newcomer at 69 years old, howard dean expensively said that is why he will not be endorsing any of those folks highlighting

>> let me start by saying that tim ryan doesn't have the right to shine for interest in his shoes.mbassador really has worked overseas on behalf of the united states of america and knows full well the good work that -- a great deal of folks are doing at the fbi and department of justice. the problem is in the swamp of washington, d.c., the biggest alligator is a politicized fbi and department of justice. that's why we are fighting hard to make sure we have a fair and equal opportunity for all sides to be heard and that you don't have this pro-hillary clinton bias, anti-donald trump bias continued to infect our institutions and our systems that all americans should be able to rely on. it's been what i hear the defendant, but you agree with them, you are upset about the fb hide what's going on, but should there be a purge? >> the purge is happening. we just saw andrew mccabe announce his retirement recently. you saw bruce, who was at at te department of justice demoted. you saw peter who sent the horrible antitrust text messages, the same was involved in the exoneration statement for

the first was tim ryan. he scares me a lot as a conservative republican.different kind of democrat. there are democrats out there who can take that message of getting out of the tribes, and bridging some gaps that could actually move the country. >> and that's the question here, right? the leaders of the democratic party. >> right. >> who are they and do they need any right now? >> well, you know, right now meaning today -- >> right now meaning a team. right? >> exactly, 2020 is a different question, but you know, a party doesn't have that leadership, doesn't have that candidate until does, right? it didn't in 2007, it didn't until barack obama, then all the sudden everything changed. and so, and, you know, who would have known a few years earlier that that would happen? so we don't know what's going to happen in 2020 and we don't know who's going to emerge. it could be harris, it could be tim ryan. >> mcconnell, schumer, pelosi, ryan, of the four, how many of them are in their positions come january of '19 in some form, whether just heads of their confere

the first was tim ryan. he scares me a lot as a conservative republican. barack obama, then all the sudden everything changed. and so, and, you know, who would have known a few years earlier that that would happen? so we don't know what's going to happen in 2020 and we don't know who's going to emerge. it could be harris, it could be tim ryan. >> mcconnell, schumer, pelosi, ryan, of the four, how many of them are in their positions come january of '19 in some form, whether just heads of their conferences, how many of those four come back, quick? >> mcconnell, schumer, pelosi. >> interesting, three of the four. what do you say, gene? >> boy. >> forcing predictions. be fast, five seconds. >> two of the four. >> i agree with carol mcconnell is the most successful majority leader of my life. >> what are you saying? >> i think they all come back, i don't know that they stay through january. >> i say one. i say only one comes back. >> which one? >> mr. schumer. just throwing it out there. we'll see. we'll see. mcconnell and ryan can spite the football. all right

joining us now to weigh in is one of those democrats, tim ryan very nice of you to come in and bringcelebrating christmas a little early. what is there in the bill that you simply could not support since you are somebody whose been on the show before and likes to try at least to reach across the aisle. >> yeah, there's no doubt i think a lot of us think we do need tax reform the tax code does need simplified, it's a mess, the corporate tax system is a mess so a lot of us were thinking we need to do something and this is an opportunity to work together. there's nothing worse though than being promised one thing and then relying on that promise counting on that promise and then people going back on that promise. president trump was in ohio, he was talking about we're going to raise taxes on the wealthiest and we're going to take some of that money and rebuild country, and we're going to rebuild country with their money and create jobs here in the united states. what happened is now we have an increase or a decrease in taxes for the wealthiest and we're going to borrow about $2 trillion

tim ryan got clean and sober behind bars only to see his son die from a heroin dose months after thatstory was featured in the ana doc you serious dope. here's a quick clip. >> i overdosed on heroin, hit two cars, and almost killed four people. i'm the guy that gets them into treatment. you want to get better, he'll end up dead. you're a relapse can, you make excuses, time to man up. >> martha: good to have you here. powerful message and a documentary. he lost her son and he went through it yourself. what makes a difference between people who can get clean and people who can't? >> there's a lot of variables, but the willingness to want to change. a lot of the families are classic enablers. they try to enable their children to get better, you have to take your emotions out of it and you have to let the professionals do and follow the guidance and directions. >> martha: one of the early science question might have a friend who lost his son, one who lost a nephew. what should we all be looking for at home? >> first thing is to get into their technology. that's where the kids are doing ev

at least two fellow democrats, congressman joe crowley and tim ryan are calling on franken to step downate private conversations this year. trump urged the republicans to end the russia investigation. according to burr, it was something along the lines as i hope you can conclude this as quickly as possible. burr said he replied it would end when the committee finished. >>> lawmakers and aide said trump told senate majority leader mitch mcconnell to end the investigation quickly. aboard the air force one when he found himself being lobbied by the president to wrap up this investigation. according to republican official familiar with the conversation. though the official said the conversation did not bear a sinister motive. >> an anonymous republican senator said trump also called other lawmakers over the summer with request that push burr to finish the inquiry. told the times trump made several calls to senators without senior staff president. senators and other republicans familiar with the conversations said trump would begin to talk on a different topic and eventually drift towards th

. >> laura, let me ask you really quickly about democratic congressman tim ryan, one of the names bouncedandidate. what's the reaction inside the democratic party about this potential rise to the nomination. >> what i find striking which is what i reported on today that a number of house democrats are talking about him. they're voluntarily mentioning him. some of them have called the white male whisperer. they think that he can speak to that -- add to that voting bloc that democrats lost to trump in 2016. >> right. it's something definitely something that we need to try to win back. laura, thank you. >>> in an exclusive interview with nbc's richard engel south korean president moon jae-in said he hopes the olympics could send a message of peace to the world. north korean athletes have been invited to the games, although it's unclear if they actually will attend. president moon also said that he has suggested to the u.s. that the two nations postpone military drills ahead of easing tensions. adding the u.s. is reviewing the idea. >>> and a rocket was fired by houthi remembers yesterday. sa

tim ryan tried. he had -- he is a nice guy.iewed him. >> maria: he is not that nice. >> david: they have power in the progressive wing regardless of old progressives like kiehl keith ellison. >> kennedy: wishful thinking? >> maria: but in a midterm election. >> david: governorships. the numbers are there. >> maria: national state of the party matters less than getting candidates in each individual district and state. >> kennedy: let's say you get those candidates and victories. is nancy pelosi speaker of the house in 2018 if you win? >> maria: if we take the house back. if we don't take it back by a lot. she will be challenged and this time i think she loses. >> kennedy: oh. >> nancy, they are come for you. >> lisa: read the rest in your nancy pelosi voice. >> kennedy: more outnumbered in just a moment. >> kennedy: thanks so much to david webb, our #oneluckyguy. you handled it well. >> david: kennedy, always a win. >> kennedy: we are back at tomorrow at noon eastern right here, "outnumbered overtime" starts right now. >> julie:

there has to be one other central point, which is -- when i go to places like ohio, youngstown which tim ryan represents, or paintsville, kentucky, hal rogers, a republican represents, he calls paintsville silicon hollow. people there are hungry for technology to come to their communities, to have new tech jobs. and silicon valley has a responsibility to make sure some of these jobs are placed in other parts of the country, and i think congress has a responsibility to understand the benefits of technology as well and how to take advantage of that. >> remember, democratic voters are for the beginning of impeachment proceedings against president trump. 2018 is a big election, and there's a lot of talk about whether or not democrats should run on impeachment. wrap do you think? what do you think? >> that would be a mistake, i think. here's what i say to my colleagues, democrats, who want to push for impeachment. imagine if there was a republican who said, i don't care what bob mueller finds. i don't care if the president was bribed. i'm never going to vote for impeachment. we find that totally u

. >> where is tim ryan's plan to say this is our tax plan? at some point they need to see a contrast and say i can go with a democrat. >> you just threw the football to donna edwards. congresswoman, when are we going to have a picture of the democratic program. that's a program. is there one for 18 -- i know it's called a better deal but is that enough? does that say enough? >> i think what democrats have to do is go out and talk to the american people about protecting and saving your social security and medicare because we know that that's going to come under attack in the next go around in 2018. >> is that the next go around? >> no. we want to create jobs and opportunities. >> how are you going to create jobs? >> investing in infrastructure, for example, investing in domestic manufacturing. these are things we have to do. you have to have the resources to do it. >> i'm completely with you. i don't have a picture of it. i want a democratic picture. paint it for me sometime. >> i'm going to take you over every road and pothole and crumbling b

that was ohio democratic congressman tim ryan warning republicans that their voters will feel betrayed pass this tax bill. the text of the final bill agreed upon by a conference committee of the house and senate was just released earlier this evening, and according to nbc news, the bill contained temporary tax breaks for individuals with the biggest gains concentrated at the top. along with more modest benefits for lower income people. it also eliminates obamacare's individual mandate, a big death throw at the health care bill, i think. anyway, republicans say with this bill, the typical family in this country of four earning the median family income of $73,000 a year will receive a tax cut a little over $2,000 per family. as of now, the bill looks like it's going to pass with senator bob corker of tennessee and marco rubio of florida changing their no votes to yes. corker who had previously voted no on the original senate bill released a statement today saying this bill is far from perfect, but after great thought and consideration, i believe this once in a generation opportunity to m

congressman tim ryan of ohio.hael steel, this tax bill if you look at polling is not popular. >> no. >> it polls in the 20s or lower in some cases. >> what the -- >> you've heard the argument for generations it's not a new argument. i put in to the congressman, slash the corporate tax rate, businesses grow, trickle down theory of economics. what do you make of that case that's being made right now and the way the republicans are prosecuting it? >> we're in a different economic environment now. there are a lot of things about our economy that have not followed the old tried and true rules that we have grown accustomed to. so how corporations are spending money, how they're investing money, but more importantly, how they're making that investment within their own companies with their employees is very different. polling has shown, and i think "morning joe" even pointed this out last week when it came up that the list of priorities for corporations when they get the wonderful tax benefit investing in their employees

and to make sure we don't have nancy pelosi in a place where she shouldn't be and people like a tim ryanl be great for the party going forward. send them places and we just need to be careful. >> sandra: the gop senate majority narrowing to one seat. things changed the other night. >> absolutely. look, you never want to lose a seat clearly with a 51 majority. it will make things more difficult. we've seen vice president mike pence have to come in and be the tiebreaking vote on a couple of different pieces of legislation. obamacare didn't get done because republicans weren't able to get it done with the 52-seat majority. that makes things more difficult. i think that also puts on expedited movement on trying to get tax reform done in congress before doug jones is seated. it will be interesting to see where the senator-elect is on some legislation once he comes to the senate. does he decide to vote with republicans and try to get reelected or does he go with his party? that will be interesting to watch. >> sandra: jessica, if you're describing this momentum for your party, why wouldn't you

tim ryan/d-ohio"this is a canard, this economic philosophy stinks."republican senator john mccain is recovering from cancer treatments, and will not take part in the vote. despite mccain's absence, majority leader mitch mcconnell says he will have enough votes to pass the measure.that's partly because g-o-p senators ( james ) another day of calm winds could help firefighters battling the thomas fire in southern california. the 271- thousand acre fire -- burning in santa barbara and ventura counties -- is now 50- percent contained. the fire has burned an area larger than new york city and boston combined. it's also destroyed more than one- thousand buildings -- at least 700 of them are homes. crews say before it's contained... the fire is likely to become the biggest in california since records started being kept in 1932.

ryan, will you marry me? tim an extraordinary day for him as well. i didn't realise we would be the first couple to do this, but we had been debating this issue for an awfully long time. our relationship has been at the centre of it. it was ultimately the only way i thought i could pay him thanks friends standing beside me to what was a difficult time for many couples. now it is time for us to step up and meet the expectations we have set for ourselves. explained to us why the issue has been so divisive for some politicians? we fully respect the fact that people disagree. but public sentiment changed on this about a decade ago. the majority supported a change. different political parties and different governments have not wa nted different governments have not wanted to confront it because there are constituencies who are very noisy and oppose. we promised a public vote before changing the law. i was not a big fan of that. is a member of the government, i had to vote for that. we had a postal vote where there was

i would say the democrats equally have that type of group, with tim ryan and seth molton and joe kennedyes, we need to do a better job making sure they're in the balance. neil: not the top, top. >> not the top. neil: it's the cocoon of the party. the closer i get on cocoon, the more i support cocoons, you know what i'm saying? that's what's necessary of saying, democrats are getting cocky right now. they look at the polls. >> i don't buy the polls at all. polls mean nothing, i think we need to be as a party more aspirational. being the party of anti-trump is not a winning solution. being the party of for something. we're all americans, we like to go in and vote for someone that's for something not because they're against something. in the rain, people aren't going to the voting booth if it's raining and they are against something. if they are for something, they'll be voting, voting, voting. we need to change our narrative. we need to be as a democratic party, a pro-growth party. we can't just look the the entitlement side. neil: real quickly, bitcoin. >> a couple days ago, listen, i was

ryan, the house speaker. he dreams about getting tax reform. tim alberta knows that. your piece is on paul ryan.inning you a lot of friends because they're pushing back this to idea that the house speaker is thinking about winding down his wild, wonderful journey in washington. why would he step down? >> i think understanding the context of paul ryan's career arc to this point is important here. this is a guy who after the 2012 election and mitt romney lost to barack obama and ryan, of course, was the vice president nominee, he thought very hard at that point about retiring from congress. this is a guy who had spent a quarter century of his life in washington. his children have grown up back in wisconsin while he's been here four or five days a week their entire lives. he told family and friends when he came back to congress and took over the ways and means chairmanship after the 2014 midterms that his goal, his exit strategy from congress was very simply to chair that committee, rewrite the american tax code, hopefully a republican president elected in 2016 pass that into law and then come home

harkened tim ryan ohio ran against her, got -- seth mole ton, special operator, saying time for new leadershipgs like her, with her years of experience, i think it just makes democrats stop whispering, got to start showing courage to step forward, saying that type of talk is not helping us. i also wonder where the so-called moderate democrats are, the one president trump keeps calling like jon tester and joe manchin. when will they stand up saying i'm in republican state. my people really want me to take a look at this. why am i so scared about chuck schumer and nancy pelosi? why can't i stand up and maybe take a look at this, honest incentive, partisan look at every piece of legislation. have i said too much, stuart? stuart: i think you will hear a lot especially senate democrats up re-election next year. if the economy is doing real well, we're heading toward that election. i don't think the democrats will come out to say end of the world. look what he did to us. i don't think you will hear that some said you know, it wasn't that bad, vote for me anyway. i got to ask but the "time" magazine,

tim ryan democrat from ohio.pposed, he challenged the list to you for leadership in the house. do you really think that this tax bill pillage his children? one more for you if i may. nancy pelosi says that raises taxes on 86 million middle-class households. do you believe that? >> well, as the tax is phased out, yes. that's what will happen. stuart: really? raises taxes on 86 million middle-class americans. you say yes it does because the tax cuts are phased out after five years, and therefore it is a tax increase after five years. is that it? >> that's exactly it. >> stuart, please let me talk. you asked me a question. please let me talk. thank you. those tax cuts phaseout. they are not going to mean a whole lot. some people will get found, but here's what we are doing. the corporate tax cut in tax cuts for the high-end people, the wealthiest people are made permanent. okay, here's the deal that every american needs to be concerned with, including those people getting the tax cut. we will fire when it's all said

barbara, tim, scott, and ryan. >> good afternoon. todd david on behalf of the san francisco housing coalition. i just want to say that this is not a project that we've reviewed so we don't opinions on the project per se. i just want to comment on the number of units. certainly obviously we would love to have the most units possible. but as supervisor farrell said, we certainly don't want the perfect to be the enemy of the good and i think that the number of units a really nice number. obviously it would be better if it were more. but it is much better than 19. the one thing they do kind of want to bring attention to, this is something that i'm starting to hear a lot from people who build housing. is projects are not penciling out with home s.f. and with the inclusionary numbers. and i'm talking to a lot of people who are building housing right now or trying to build housing, that they're passing on projects. the fact that we heard that the home s.f. did not pencil for this particular project is very consistent with the p/esingaging t

ours course i was also interested in politicians, paul ryan, tim collins, state senator, at the time runs through the story. so there are all these different people who were taking actions that they thought were useful in a town that had just lord the heart of its work, and they didn't all agree on what they thought shy be doing but these were all the strains coming together in this community. trying to figure out what to do when he heart of its work went away. but of course the core of my story is about the dislocated workers themselves, dislocated aid government term that mean outside lost your job and there's not much likelihood it's going to come back. that's what we call these people, dislocate worker. i defended what wanted to illustrate was, as i came to think of it, what choices people make when there are no good choices left. and i did not pick characters. it's fun you to call these people characters because i just saw them thursday night in janesville. people who delivering lives and characters in a book with this dual identity on the page and in their lives. i did not pick

memberte opened today, of parliament tim wilson addressed his partner, ryan bolger, who was sitting in the chamber's gallery. >> this debate has been a soundtrack to our relationship. we both know this issue isn't the reason we got involved in politics. give us tax reform any day. in my first speech i do find our bond by the ring that sits on , a day wer left hands can answer questions that we cannot ask. there's only one thing left to do. bolger, will you marry me? amy: and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we begin today's program with president trump's tax bill. just before 2:00 a.m. on saturday morning, republicans passed a nearly 500-page bill with dramatic impacts on not only the u.s. tax code but also health care, domestic spending, even oil and gas drilling. the plan would cut taxes by nearly $1.5 trillion. major corporations and the richest americans, including president trump and his own family, would reap the most dramatic benefits. the legislation includes slashing the corporate tax rate fro

. >> and tim, do they realize they need ryan and mcconnell, they can only run as an independent entityo much. >> you have to wonder, brian. i'm not entirely sure. if you look at the president's inner circle at this point, mike pence is really the only adviser to the president, the only person whom the president regularly consults his opinion who has any serious association with the republican party. and that's not an exaggeration at all. kellyanne conway has the president's ear in some cases but according to people in the white house, she is not regularly consulted for major decisions. i don't know if you look at the west wing and his son-in-law, his daughter, steve bannon, anthony scaramucci has now departed. when you look at the people who surround the president on a daily basis, and now john kelly you have to wonder who will be prodding him closer to the republican party and make sure he works in concert with congressional leadership. >> great conversation tonight. we'll keep doing it and our thanks for being on our broadcast so late in the evening. one last item before we go tonigh

april ryan, white house cory spornts and tim neftali.avid, really, no matter how you slice it, this was a big moment for h president. >> in fairness, i think even has to acknowledge this is donald trump's most positive moment since he was inaugurated. this was a big league win. he has rewritten the tax code more extensively than the 1980s. so it is you know, any president would proclaim this as historic, positive, good news. right now, the president of the white house has a big problem. the republicans have done a lousy job selling this bill. it's unpop r lar. there's a wave building up on the democratic side toward the 2018 elections as reflected in those cnn numbers you just cited, jim. and the bill itself, it's a gamble about whether we'll get the growth or whether it's a sugar high and the economy will sink a little bit. more importantly, it also has in it what many would consider a poison pill. that is getting rid of the mandate on obamacare is essentially as republicans are suggesting today, including the president himself, is inte

i mean, you know, tim murphy, not too long ago, paul ryan had to deal with it, i think he did the same thing today with trent franks -- >> what about donald trump and roy moore? >> i think in terms of roy moore he is denying it, and i think donald trump it's the same thing. >> al franken denied it, too. >> well, he denied it, except for there were pictures. and that was completely -- >> i did this last night with somebody else. there was one picture and then there are seven other accusations and he denied them, and he denied them again on the floor today. the democrats still believed the women. >> you know, i think the democrat party has to make their decision on that, and i think what's happening in roy moore is the republican party is something a little bit different, just slightly. okay, this happened 40 years ago. two of these women may be credible, two of them might not be. >> these women? these were children. these were teenagers. >> well, actually, there was wub who was 14, i think. the other was 19 or 20. >> jack, come on. >> there was 16. >> thank you. >> i'm saying in terms o

joining us today, kristen -- tim hodgins, director of research at gallup, richard frye, pew research center, and ryan hawkins, director of state affairs and public policy. whoever is calling me on my cell phone, i am not going to answer. state affairs and public policy at microsoft. and, gentlemen, we look forward to your remarks and good, robust conversation about the changing face of the west. >> good afternoon. thanks for the opportunity to share some things that we have learned around the office. around the office at gallup. i'm going to share five or seven minutes here about some of the things that we've learned when it comes to k-12 education, college education and the workplace, and some of the transitions that fall within that. i think the first thing that i would share is, over the last 10 years, we've had time, attention and good advances in the areas of assessment and curriculum and it's on the radar , screen. we've made good advances there, but the country's attention as it relates to k-12 education seems to be changing and , changing things we call the whole child or social-emotional lea

tim, you actually broke one that had been making headlines since it appeared at politico on thursday. >> that's right. so speaker paul ryan is ready to hang it up after this congress. he has made it known to some of his closest allies he is prepared to retire at the end of this congress. it makes perfect sense if you view this in the context of his career. he came close to retiring after 2012 when he was the losing vice presidential nominee. he comes back, assumes the chairmanship of the ways and means committee. i'm going to rewrite the tax code, hopefully get it passed into law and then go home. he has a young family. he wants to get home to wisconsin. this has been years in the making. it is is not surprising that he wants to do this. kevin mccarthy and steve ska is lease scalise. >> my biggest story was the previewing of the security by general mcmaster. you just got back from pakistan. what did you make of this rollout? do you agree not many many people paid attention but it matters a lot. >> not many people paid attention. we didn't get the whole strategy. we got a preview of it. we know what the basic outlines were

tim wilson was speaking as a bill to legalise gay marriage entered the final stage of the legislative process. his partner of nine years, ryanyes, prompting applause across the house. australia's parliament is debating the legislation after last month's nationwide vote to legalise same—sex marriage. the bbc‘s hywel griffith in sydney says the prime minister, malcolm turnbull, is working towards a christmas deadline, but there is still work to be done. so they're already on their feet in the house of representatives, discussing this bill. it's the final furlong for what's been a decades—long campaign to legalise same—sex marriage here in australia. we expect the bill to be passed, but it might be days rather than hours, and that's because there will be amendments discussed. now, the main amendments will be around religious freedoms, and people who want to take, i guess, a "moral stand" against conforming with this law. so there will be amendments made to suggest celebrants of marriage will be allowed to refuse to celebrate a same—sex marriage, charities, religious charities won't be found at fault or have their funding withdr
