BOLDUAN two or three ░░░░░░░░ the amendments that were ░░░░░░░░ overnight and will be ░░░░░░░░ the final version of ░░░░░░░░ bill that the House ░░░░░░░░ need to vote on ░░░░░░░░ some point Do you ░░░░░░░░ the president want Democrats ░░░░░░░░ vote against the NDAA ░░░░░░░░ you see it today ░░░░░░░░ the House KIRBY Again ░░░░░░░░ will not speak for ░░░░░░░░ voting inclinations here I ░░░░░░░░ not get ahead of ░░░░░░░░ legislative process BOLDUAN I ░░░░░░░░ understand that but the ░░░░░░░░ ultimately he needs to ░░░░░░░░ this into law If ░░░░░░░░ bill as we saw ░░░░░░░░ the amendments coming out ░░░░░░░░ the House overnight would ░░░░░░░░ the version to come ░░░░░░░░ his desk would he ░░░░░░░░ it KIRBY It s ░░░░░░░░ Kate I m not ░░░░░░░░ to engage in it ░░░░░░░░ this point of the ░░░░░░░░ process There s a ░░░░░░░░ way to go before ░░░░░░░░ legislation gets to his ░░░░░░░░ What I can assure ░░░░░░░░ is the president BOLDUAN ░░░░░░░░ do you see John ░░░░░░░░ you see the president ░░░░░░░░ a National Defense Authorization ░░░░░░░░ that limits transgender rights ░░░░░░░░ rips out diversity training ░░░░░░░░ does exactly the opposite ░░░░░░░░ what you said the ░░░░░░░░ supports when it comes ░░░░░░░░ access to reproductive rights ░░░░░░░░ It s very difficult ░░░░░░░░ see the president supporting ░░░░░░░░ that would make it ░░░░░░░░ for Americans to serve ░░░░░░░░ uniform and to not ░░░░░░░░ able to do so ░░░░░░░░ dignity would not be ░░░░░░░░ to do so with ░░░░░░░░ proper care they need ░░░░░░░░ medical and mental care ░░░░░░░░ s very difficult to ░░░░░░░░ that the president would ░░░░░░░░ ever sign legislation that ░░░░░░░░ put our troops at ░░░░░░░░ risk or put our ░░░░░░░░ at risk BOLDUAN Does ░░░░░░░░ put the administration in ░░░░░░░░ tough position though if ░░░░░░░░ is what you re ░░░░░░░░ at and Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ at in the House ░░░░░░░░ now of having to ░░░░░░░░ why Democrats would vote ░░░░░░░░ pay raises for the ░░░░░░░░ and future investments in ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure which is a ░░░░░░░░ part of what the ░░░░░░░░ is KIRBY The president ░░░░░░░░ comfortable and confident that ░░░░░░░░ will not sign legislation ░░░░░░░░ will not affect our ░░░░░░░░ readiness in a negative ░░░░░░░░ or affect our people ░░░░░░░░ will leave it to ░░░░░░░░ of Congress to decide ░░░░░░░░ they will vote on ░░░░░░░░ for themselves but obviously ░░░░░░░░ s not going to ░░░░░░░░ amendments he s not ░░░░░░░░ to support legislation that ░░░░░░░░ put our readiness or ░░░░░░░░ troops at any greater ░░░░░░░░
