Kim: ‘Offensive’ GOP Blocking Trans Females in Women’s Sports

Question what are they ░░░░░░░░ to do Joining us ░░░░░░░░ democratic senator Andy Kim ░░░░░░░░ New Jersey Senator thanks ░░░░░░░░ joining us So Senate ░░░░░░░░ face a big decision ░░░░░░░░ week voting for a ░░░░░░░░ spending bill that makes ░░░░░░░░ concessions for what Democrats ░░░░░░░░ or vote no and ░░░░░░░░ it and likely be ░░░░░░░░ of a vote that ░░░░░░░░ shut down the federal ░░░░░░░░ How do you plan ░░░░░░░░ vote gt gt how ░░░░░░░░ you plan gt gt ░░░░░░░░ vote gt gt well ░░░░░░░░ gt look let s ░░░░░░░░ gt look at what ░░░░░░░░ actually want to see ░░░░░░░░ done which is that ░░░░░░░░ of all the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ in charge of this ░░░░░░░░ right now And what ░░░░░░░░ ve seen with Speaker ░░░░░░░░ is that he walked ░░░░░░░░ from the bipartisan talks ░░░░░░░░ have talks ongoing right ░░░░░░░░ And what I support ░░░░░░░░ an effort that s ░░░░░░░░ same thing that the ░░░░░░░░ chair of appropriations cole ░░░░░░░░ which he says that ░░░░░░░░ bipartisan deal would be ░░░░░░░░ than a CR What ░░░░░░░░ see with chairwoman Susan ░░░░░░░░ she wants to be ░░░░░░░░ to move forward So ░░░░░░░░ I want to see ░░░░░░░░ done is a 30 ░░░░░░░░ extension for us to ░░░░░░░░ able to continue these ░░░░░░░░ talks and then to ░░░░░░░░ be able to come ░░░░░░░░ with a congressional deal ░░░░░░░░ than just kick the ░░░░░░░░ down the road with ░░░░░░░░ CR for the rest ░░░░░░░░ the year which is ░░░░░░░░ Speaker Johnson wants because ░░░░░░░░ he s abdicating his ░░░░░░░░ He s really showing ░░░░░░░░ how bad he is ░░░░░░░░ governing right now And ░░░░░░░░ s something that again ░░░░░░░░ s the one that ░░░░░░░░ walking away from this ░░░░░░░░ talk right now And ░░░░░░░░ hope that he gets ░░░░░░░░ into the talks so ░░░░░░░░ can continue and finish ░░░░░░░░ job gt gt so ░░░░░░░░ to be clear if ░░░░░░░░ Johnson s CR ends ░░░░░░░░ on the floor of ░░░░░░░░ Senate you will vote ░░░░░░░░ gt gt no that ░░░░░░░░ not what I m ░░░░░░░░ Jake What I m ░░░░░░░░ is first and foremost ░░░░░░░░ need to see what ░░░░░░░░ in the house You ░░░░░░░░ again I was in ░░░░░░░░ House of Representatives when ░░░░░░░░ Johnson became speaker He ░░░░░░░░ very bad at legislating ░░░░░░░░ bad at keeping his ░░░░░░░░ together So I m ░░░░░░░░ certain what s going ░░░░░░░░ happen there But what ░░░░░░░░ m hopeful is is ░░░░░░░░ you know I m ░░░░░░░░ to push and I ░░░░░░░░ a lot of us ░░░░░░░░ trying to push one ░░░░░░░░ time to see if ░░░░░░░░ can get these bipartisan ░░░░░░░░ going I can t ░░░░░░░░ you how many Republicans ░░░░░░░░ I talked to in ░░░░░░░░ Senate in the house ░░░░░░░░ are frustrated as well ░░░░░░░░ the doors that Congress ░░░░░░░░ roles and responsibilities are ░░░░░░░░ whittled away usurped by ░░░░░░░░ Trump And this is ░░░░░░░░ place where we can ░░░░░░░░ and say that yes ░░░░░░░░ are the part of ░░░░░░░░ government the Branch of ░░░░░░░░ that s in control ░░░░░░░░ the appropriations and control ░░░░░░░░ the funds We should ░░░░░░░░ that right now And ░░░░░░░░ s what I hope ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans in the ░░░░░░░░ and the Senate agree ░░░░░░░░ and we can restart ░░░░░░░░ bipartisan talks and actually ░░░░░░░░ things done gt gt ░░░░░░░░ But that doesn t ░░░░░░░░ like it s going ░░░░░░░░ happen And you keep ░░░░░░░░ about asserting And I ░░░░░░░░ just saying if you ░░░░░░░░ t have a bipartisan ░░░░░░░░ will that be a ░░░░░░░░ vote It s a ░░░░░░░░ simple question gt gt ░░░░░░░░ it s it s ░░░░░░░░ simple yet because we ░░░░░░░░ t know what the ░░░░░░░░ is going to do ░░░░░░░░ again I m going ░░░░░░░░ see what happens with ░░░░░░░░ house going first And ░░░░░░░░ we ll see what ░░░░░░░░ over to the Senate ░░░░░░░░ anything But I still ░░░░░░░░ think that there s ░░░░░░░░ opportunity here to try ░░░░░░░░ push I can t ░░░░░░░░ you how many Republicans ░░░░░░░░ the Senate are frustrated ░░░░░░░░ this process and want ░░░░░░░░ see us actually go ░░░░░░░░ I mean when we ░░░░░░░░ worried about what s ░░░░░░░░ with defense spending when ░░░░░░░░ terms of what s ░░░░░░░░ to happen with the ░░░░░░░░ when it looks like ░░░░░░░░ know what we see ░░░░░░░░ is a handing over ░░░░░░░░ the keys to the ░░░░░░░░ in terms of where ░░░░░░░░ direction of funds go ░░░░░░░░ s where Congress s ░░░░░░░░ is So Jake what ░░░░░░░░ ll say is you ░░░░░░░░ we ll see what ░░░░░░░░ with how the house ░░░░░░░░ forward But there s ░░░░░░░░ lot of frustration on ░░░░░░░░ ground in the Senate ░░░░░░░░ I think that there ░░░░░░░░ still an opening for ░░░░░░░░ 30 day extension And ░░░░░░░░ us to actually be ░░░░░░░░ to get a deal ░░░░░░░░ forward They re very ░░░░░░░░ The negotiators are very ░░░░░░░░ to a top line ░░░░░░░░ and I support senator ░░░░░░░░ and others pushing forward ░░░░░░░░ that gt gt let ░░░░░░░░ talk about the president ░░░░░░░░ speech to Congress Tuesday ░░░░░░░░ and more specifically the ░░░░░░░░ of some Democrats House ░░░░░░░░ on the floor of ░░░░░░░░ chamber in addition to ░░░░░░░░ extended interruption by congressman ░░░░░░░░ Green waving his cane ░░░░░░░░ Democrats protested the joint ░░░░░░░░ by They wore matching ░░░░░░░░ They held up pen ░░░░░░░░ with various messages on ░░░░░░░░ Your colleague from across ░░░░░░░░ river there democratic senator ░░░░░░░░ Fetterman from Pennsylvania He ░░░░░░░░ the protests quote a ░░░░░░░░ cavalcade of cell phones ░░░░░░░░ unhinged petulance It only ░░░░░░░░ Trump look more presidential ░░░░░░░░ restrained We re becoming ░░░░░░░░ metaphorical car alarms that ░░░░░░░░ pays attention to and ░░░░░░░░ may not be the ░░░░░░░░ message unquote is senator ░░░░░░░░ right gt gt well ░░░░░░░░ know this was the ░░░░░░░░ time that I was ░░░░░░░░ the chamber for President ░░░░░░░░ giving an address to ░░░░░░░░ joint session And it ░░░░░░░░ just getting worse and ░░░░░░░░ And it s just ░░░░░░░░ know look what Trump ░░░░░░░░ very good at doing ░░░░░░░░ bringing the rest of ░░░░░░░░ country down to his ░░░░░░░░ I mean when we ░░░░░░░░ him start off with ░░░░░░░░ a barrage of personal ░░░░░░░░ to people including people ░░░░░░░░ the chamber you know ░░░░░░░░ is certainly somebody that ░░░░░░░░ a tone where he ░░░░░░░░ uninterested in civility in ░░░░░░░░ country in terms of ░░░░░░░░ we proceed and be ░░░░░░░░ to engage with one ░░░░░░░░ us one another And ░░░░░░░░ find that to be ░░░░░░░░ insulting when I get ░░░░░░░░ work a job he ░░░░░░░░ a job We work ░░░░░░░░ whose job descriptions are ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution of the ░░░░░░░░ States That should push ░░░░░░░░ to hold ourselves to ░░░░░░░░ highest of standards So ░░░░░░░░ President Trump is bringing ░░░░░░░░ rhetoric and the discourse ░░░░░░░░ the civility in politics ░░░░░░░░ I don t like ░░░░░░░░ type of behavior that ░░░░░░░░ see across the board ░░░░░░░░ the entirety of that ░░░░░░░░ whether it s what ░░░░░░░░ ve seen with Marjorie ░░░░░░░░ Greene in the past ░░░░░░░░ people on my side ░░░░░░░░ the aisle I do ░░░░░░░░ we want to hold ░░░░░░░░ up to a standard ░░░░░░░░ what we see is ░░░░░░░░ it s Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ that s the one ░░░░░░░░ s bringing our politics ░░░░░░░░ to a level of ░░░░░░░░ that I think the ░░░░░░░░ majority of Americans can ░░░░░░░░ stand gt gt so ░░░░░░░░ me ask you about ░░░░░░░░ vote you took in ░░░░░░░░ last few days You ░░░░░░░░ nearly every other Senate ░░░░░░░░ voted this week to ░░░░░░░░ a GOP bill that ░░░░░░░░ have banned transgender athletes ░░░░░░░░ playing in women s ░░░░░░░░ This happened the same ░░░░░░░░ that California governor Gavin ░░░░░░░░ a Democrat broke with ░░░░░░░░ Democrats and said that ░░░░░░░░ his view it s ░░░░░░░░ deeply unfair to allow ░░░░░░░░ women to play in ░░░░░░░░ s sports What do ░░░░░░░░ say to that Do ░░░░░░░░ agree that it s ░░░░░░░░ gt gt well what ░░░░░░░░ agree is that we ░░░░░░░░ to make sure that ░░░░░░░░ decisions are made by ░░░░░░░░ communities by the communities ░░░░░░░░ it s schools and ░░░░░░░░ others that are the ░░░░░░░░ closest to us And ░░░░░░░░ what we know is ░░░░░░░░ we re talking about ░░░░░░░░ handful of people a ░░░░░░░░ of athletes around the ░░░░░░░░ These decisions can be ░░░░░░░░ in a way that ░░░░░░░░ t require the entirety ░░░░░░░░ the federal government to ░░░░░░░░ in On top of ░░░░░░░░ you know what I ░░░░░░░░ just say to the ░░░░░░░░ people here is that ░░░░░░░░ Republicans Trump in particular ░░░░░░░░ s trying to make ░░░░░░░░ about safety but it ░░░░░░░░ not about safety and ░░░░░░░░ of our kids You ░░░░░░░░ I ve got a ░░░░░░░░ year old and a ░░░░░░░░ year old What this ░░░░░░░░ know if it was ░░░░░░░░ safety and security then ░░░░░░░░ we would have seen ░░░░░░░░ and the Republicans do ░░░░░░░░ about the 330 school ░░░░░░░░ that we had last ░░░░░░░░ which I m terrified ░░░░░░░░ having two elementary school ░░░░░░░░ or about the 1 ░░░░░░░░ 5 kids in this ░░░░░░░░ goes to school hungry ░░░░░░░░ isn t able to ░░░░░░░░ enough food in their ░░░░░░░░ to be able to ░░░░░░░░ through the day So ░░░░░░░░ s not about safety ░░░░░░░░ security It s about ░░░░░░░░ And that s what ░░░░░░░░ find just so offensive ░░░░░░░░ this As someone who ░░░░░░░░ worried about the state ░░░░░░░░ our education system and ░░░░░░░░ see this right now ░░░░░░░░ a time when you ░░░░░░░░ the President Trump is ░░░░░░░░ to try to initiative ░░░░░░░░ gut the entire Department ░░░░░░░░ Education and trying to ░░░░░░░░ what I believe is ░░░░░░░░ common good in this ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ education So that s ░░░░░░░░ that I just really ░░░░░░░░ to make clear This ░░░░░░░░ not about safety and ░░░░░░░░ It s all about ░░░░░░░░ politics gt gt all ░░░░░░░░ Senator Andy Kim of ░░░░░░░░ Jersey thank you so ░░░░░░░░ Good to see you ░░░░░░░░ His job is to ░░░░░░░░ American hostages home And ░░░░░░░░ led to an unprecedented ░░░░░░░░ U S meeting this ░░░░░░░░ with a group that ░░░░░░░░ U S government classifies ░░░░░░░░ a terroris
