Summary: James Hohmann, national political reporter for the Washington Post, joins Ben Domenech to discuss Nikki Haley and the Trump administrations position on Syria, how the Senate confirmed Justice Gorsuch, and other political stories on Capitol Hill. Nikki Haley is the first Republican UN Ambassador to have full cabinet rank since Jeane Kirkpatrick under Ronald Reagan. Nikki Haley is for them, the conscious and the backbone of the administration. I think she is hawkish on Russia and shes hawkish on Iran. Shes very strong for Israel, Hohmann said. She doesnt work for Rex Tillerson. After Senate Republicans deployed the Nuclear Option to confirm Neil Gorsuch, the question remains about future use of the legislative filibuster. I worry that [McConnel] thinks the legislative filibuster is good, but at some point hes not going to be able to defend it, Hohmann said. andnbsp;
