senator kaine. sen. kaine: thank you, mr. chair. and mr. scalia, congratulations on the nomination from the president. i noticed in the dialogue with senator murphy, if you go back and read the transcript your answers don't use the terms lgbt, your answers wouldn't enlighten anyone about the discussion. when he asked about the change in your view you said i would not write those words today. it would cause painful visuals. that makes me wanted to follow up. i think know the answer. you do believe lgbtq individuals are allowed equal protection. correct? mr. scalia: that is what is the supreme court has ordained. sen. kaine: but -- you believe it personally? i know what the supreme court has said. i'm asking about your personal belief. lgbtq americans are entitled to equal protection of the law. mr. scalia: i do. and if i could finish, in the article, it was from college, 1985. mr. scalia: 35 years ago. sen. kaine: but i'm not asking about the article. i'm asking about your beliefs today. let me follow up. do you believe it is wrong for an em

twitter took down kaine's remark a little bit later.agged on cnn. >> you know i think twitter took it down because you have somebody with a weapon of war threatening to use it against somebody who is talking about gun violence in this country. that's exactly why briscoe caine should not have an ar-15. >> brian: really representative briscoe kaine joins us now to explain. briscoe, have you had quite a day. are you rethinking your tweet or underlining it? >> we got to underline it for sure, brian. you know robert francis, of course, the one who made the threat. he wants to rob millions of americans of their property. all right. he threatened to tropical depression on my property and the property of others or to kick down our door and take from us. what i wrote really is just another way of saying come and take it. many are familiar with that flag with the cannon called the gonzalez flag from 1835 here in texas. when we stood up to a radical federal government who demanded we give up our arms. and, again, all that was was saying come and t

that's exactly why briscoe kaine should not have an ar-15. too unlike this one. we were finishing a march for our lives organized by these wonderful high school students in el paso. i had my 8-year-old henry riding on my shoulders. and as we come into san jacinto plaza, there are two guys, both with ar-15s waiting for us at the end of the march. and dad said, what's up with this? i thought we were marching against this. and i said, don't pay him any mind or give them any attention, but they were there to intimidate and make a point and really to threaten political violence, which is exactly what this state rep is doing right now. the moment that we accept that is the moment that we lose this country. that we can non-violently and peacefully resolve our differences. come to different conclusions on different issues, but at the end of the day, move forward as americans. that's been the genius of this country for as long as we've been a country. we cannot lose that now. so for twitter taking that down, i think that makes sense. for folks who cal

joining me now is tim kaine of virginia. he serves on the senate foreign relations committee.ordinated response with saudi arabia, what do you take away from that? >> well, when i hear coordinated response or the president and vice president saying we're locked and loaded, i worry that they're going to take military action. and there is absolutely no reason for the u.s. to go to war or engage in military action to protect saudi oil. zero. let the saudis defend themselves. we sell them weapons. we give them advice. that's one thing. but to be engaged in military action, another war in the middle east, a war to protect saudi oil, and a war based on what i believe is some fundamental mistruths that the administration is promoting is a disaster. >> what mistruths? >> they're saying the attack was unprovoked. the u.s. is provoking iran. we were in a diplomatic deal with them that allowed them to sell their oil. we pulled out of the deal, the u.s. pulled out. and we've punished their oil economy. and so iran -- and again, iran is not a good actor. you don't have to like this, but we

senator kaine. >> thank you, mr. chair, and thank you for this report and very important topic. i want to ask you a question about a recommendation contained on page 47. one of the recommendations deals with trying to reduce iranian influence in syria and eventually expel in phases iranian influence in syria and you have a recommendation, more specifically the united states should continue to support israeli strikes on iranian assets inside syria. talk to -- explain that phrase. talk to me about what you guys know about u.s. participation and israeli strikes in syria and what you mean by the recommendation that we continue to support those. those. >> thank you, senator. so the israelis believe, and i think that we agree, having sort of gotten some briefings from them, the strikes have been pretty important in limiting iran's activities inside syria. >> and describe the strikes, because we've not had any testimony in this committee or the armed services committee about u.s. participation in israeli strikes in syria. this is not a classified report, i'm just curious as to describi

i think senator kaine alluded to this and i want to go back to it a little bit. we have had multiple hearings this year to uncover and address persistent and unacceptable problems our service members and families have experienced in privatized housing on military bases. we've seen it in alabama, we've seen it across the country. the root causes for these problems seem to continue to be uncovered. you hope to provide reports and briefings to members of congress and staff. my take away from these reports says we are applying needed focus to get this right, but we have a long, long way to go. we are trying to address this in our nda and hopefully that language will stay in there, but i want to ask each of you, can we get a commitment from each of you, that if confirmed, you will continue the service, each of your services, focus on addressing these issues, ensuring military members and families are provided the housing that they deserve. the transparency and responsiveness that we believe, and i think all members of this committee believe are important to our family

senator kaine was very generous in giving everyone credit but himself.f course it was his vision and leadership that created this commission. give the senator another round of applause. slavery first arrived on our shores right here 400 years ago. with the forced labor of enslaved africans and their descendents who built this great nation and that is part of our complicated history, with which we continue to wrestle. over the past 500 years, descendents and others who followed the first 20 and awed africans have made significant contributions to all aspects of american history. as we continue to work in addressing inequality and education, incarceration and criminal justice system, income inequality and attacks on voting rights, we also pause to celebrate the incredible resiliency of those africans and their descendents. it is in that spirit that i've been asked to discuss one individual whose fight for justice has much to teach us today. when i am introduced at public gatherings, it is often mentioned that i am the first african-american to represent th

tim kaine, mark warner saying that this is something the president shouldn't be doing and that it does risk national security precisely because he has done so. >> so again, i have full confidence in the secretary of defense that he's not going to take money that is going to impact his ability to safeguard the national security of this country. this wall is part of a national security crisis that we have right now, neil, on this southwest border. >> neil: all right. the dust-up is over this. taking $3.6 billion from the military and channelling it to this border wall. other people are saying the president is technically breaking the constitution doing that, that he nailed to get that extra funding the normal route. he got funding anyway, but you just can't do that. among those espousing that view, democratic senator mark warner. is this illegal? is that what you're saying, senator? >> what i'm saying is, this is not how we set up our constitution. we gave the congress the power of the purse and what we've seen, not only under this president but previous presidents as well, congress cont

. >> senator kaine, you'll be the last question are today and following your questions we will dismiss so we can go vote. >> thank you, mr. chair, i was going to ask questions about turkey and the man's questions about one topic. you use the phrase dogs breakfast in groups. we have worked primarily with stf which there is a slow between kurds and arabs and the syrians and they have been very good partners for us. there is also anti-asad elements that are not partners with isa and al qaeda. so the anti-asad but we have been battling them because of the tears connections. what is your level of concern about the funding of those groups by gulf state allies of ours. his foreign funding of the tears groups in syria still problem? and there is not recommendations about how we deal with foreign funders of terrorism in syria, but should we be concerned about that or that no longer a concern? >> thank you for that question. we should always be concerned about foreign funding for terrorist actors. as you know, the stf and those partners are northeastern syria and it's clear that both president a

this is what roy kaine taught him to do as a young man in which he's been doing over and over, hundredsmes, under any situation where he feels threatened. so the first piece of this is set the narrative, so he's in the seat because he's the president with the most ability to go out to the largest number of people. and what he'll do now is he'll flip the story. he's already flipping the story. >> you say turn the tables. what does that look like? >> it's not about me. it's about them. it's, they're out to get us again. it's get people to shift their perspective on this or particularly the base, which is what he's aiming at overwhelmingly. >> well, he's already doing that in terms of saying you need to be looking at joe biden and his family. we have heard them attempting to do that, but somehow, that didn't sway democrats from calling up impeachment. number three, flood to zone. >> so turn the tables is specifically biden, although it's also attacking greta after her speech at the u.n., because what they -- >> 16-year-old environmentalist who is arguing so passionately for climate change.

i think senator kaine alluded to this.we have had multiple hearings here this year to uncover and address persistent and unacceptable problems our servicemembers and their families have experienced in privatizing housing preceded in alabama and across the country. the root cause continued to be uncovered. my take away from these reports is that we are finally applying some needed focus to get this right but we still have a long way to go. we have tried to address the center and baa and hopefully that language was stay in there but i would like to ask each of you can we get a commitment from each of you that if confirmed that you will continue the service, each of your services focusing on addressing these issues ensuring our military members and emily's housing that they deserve the transparency and responsiveness that he believed and i think all members of this committee believe are important to our family members and the well-being of a military and condition to our modern station. >> i tried to exhibit that very type of

it's legislation i've introduced consistently with senator tim kaine from virginia. it says, we ought to be able to use pell grants not just for college but also for these shorter-term training programs. they're much more relevant to what we need now. sadly, most people who get a pell grant to go to college don't end up with a college degree. i support pell in colleges and universities. it is an important way for lower-income students to get access to education. but why not allow those same students to get a shorter-term training program under their bill? right now they can't afford it. if you want to get a welding degree to get an industry-recognized credential to become a welder, you can get a good-paying job right away with good benefits. yet it is costly to go through that program. they're less than 15 weeks so they don't equal file for pell. so a -- so they don't qualify for pell. so a student is told, you can go to college and get a history degree, but you can't get a welding grant. i made visited to career and technical schools around ohio, which is they want

. >> [inaudible] >> senator tim kaine says you're pointing national security rest and democrats are callingor a vote to overturn your national emergency. what's your response to that? >> the wall is being built, we need the wall for purposes of national security. the military is behind it all the way. if any project that they may delay a little bit, it's only a delay, they will get built, but the wall is something that we need. we are going to be building hundreds of miles of wall. we had come as you know, a supreme court decision, which was outstanding. we also had a supreme court decision yesterday on asylum and that was a very, very big decision and it was a 7-2 decision. the asylum decision was very vague, but we had a very good decision on the wall and wall funding in the wall is going up as we speak. we intend to have approximately -- you know, maybe something short of 500 miles of wall. that would be almost everything that we need. about 500 miles is what we need and we are going to be very close to that by the end of next year. >> [inaudible] >> approved a resolution defining the pa

i think what the congressman's doing, and senator kaine made this argument as well, saying that we pulled out of the steel and there is no replacement. president trump promised us a replacement. our allies are standing there saying, "what are we going to do about this?" and it is a provocation to pull out of the deal with no runway to get something else done. >> melissa: except for volunteering again and again to sit down and talk. the president has said repeatedly, "my plan and my goal, what i'm doing here is ratcheting up the pressure. at the same time i'm saying, let's sit down and talk." to think that is effective? >> elizabeth: i do think it's effective. they are trying to get a mideast coalition along with the u.k. to go against iran. saudi arabia and iran have been in a 30-year cold war. to say that the jcpoa revocation provoked this, i think it's a little bit fatally naive. iran has been speaking wmd since 1962. it's been assassinating its own men, women, children. its own activists, secular government officials. it's been doing terror-backing and financing terrorist groups, inclu

tremendous task before the commissioners and funding -- and the funding challenges they faced, senator kaine and i are also actively exploring ways to extend the work of the commission for several years beyond its present july, 2020, termination date. this part of our nation's history is far too important to let this opportunity pass. every american should be afforded the chance to understand and learn from it. as we gather at the site of where slavery first arrived on our shores 400 years ago, we reflect on our complicated history, we celebrated the resiliency and many contributions of the descendents of those slaves, and we are committed to follow the research and effectively address the issues that continue to plague our communities. including a tax on our voting rights, police brutality, environmental injustice and disparities in education, housing, wealth and criminal justice. so as we reflect on the events of 1619, let us all commit to constructively address those horrific years of slavery and legal discrimination -- legal racial discrimination and move forward with strength and i woul

four, portman, kaine, cardin, gillibrand, stabenow, baldwin, brown, capito, coons, shaheen, moran, smith, wicker, brawn -- braun want to support this legislation and have introduced it to use pell grants at high-quality, short-term skills and job-training programs that lead to jobs in fields like cybersecurity. five, simplify aid letters. sometimes students get an aid letter that says, you got money, but they don't understand that some of it is a loan that has to be paid back and some of it is a grant. senators grassley, smith, hassan, rubio have legislation that would simplify and make that clear. six, increase the maximum pell grant award. seven, to pay nor this package, we have a bipartisan proposal that both president obama and president trump have supported which is to ensure that students who opt to pay back their loans under the income-driven repayment plan pay the full 10% of their discretionary income as the law intended. and finally, eight, a proposal by senator murray and me along with senators collins, cornyn, gardner, hassan, king, stabenow, tillis, whitehouse to allow stude

kaine: mr. chairman, i rise to also talk about gun violence. i want to express my appreciation of republican colleagues, those of us on this side of the aisle feel strong by about this issue. i understand we've gone a little bit past the time and i'll try to be quick but i feel very strongly about it too. let me talk about two virginia tragedies and tell the story of a hero whose name we should all know, a hero whose name we should all know. it's been interesting. i sat on the floor and listened to a number of speeches of my colleagues and as they talked about gun violence and mass shootings in the united states, very few have mentioned that 12 people were killed in virginia beach in a mass shooting on may 31. they mentioned odessa and they've mentioned el paso and they've mentioned dayton. why not virginia beach? because there have been so many tragedies since may 31. the virginia beach shooting of 12 government employees, actually 11 and a contractor who was just there to get some permits for a building permit he was seeking happened barely t

there is a proposal by senator portman and kaine and many other bipartisan senators on short-term pell grants for job training. we could expand pell grant eligibility. we could increase the maximum pell grant award. these are all things we should be able to agree on, including the historically black colleges. i've been talking with senator murray now for several years about reauthorizing higher education act. i intend to discuss this all with her and with our committee members next week. we have the time to do it, because while the language expires at the end of this month, money doesn't for several more months. so in the meantime, i would hope that we could work together as we often do in our committee to pass a short-term, a smaller package of higher education proposals, including a longer-term proposal for historically black colleges while we continue to work on the reauthorization of the higher education act. i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. the senator for washington. mrs. murray: thank you, mr. president. what we're seeing today really disappoints me. we have

kaine: mr. president, i rise to object to president trump's continual raid on the budget of the united states military. the president promised the public as a candidate that he would build a border wall with mexico and that mexico would pay for any wall that he would build. the president has broken his promise and it shocks me that as commander in chief he now insists that it's got to be our troops and our military families and our nation's security that have to be sacrificed for his foolishness. frankly, it shocks me even more that republican colleagues in this body seem perfectly willing to let him do that. if you won't stand up for the men and women in our military, who will you stand up for? if you won't stand up for important projects in your own state, who will you stand up for? if you won't stand up to protect your defense authorization bill or your defense appropriations bill from being cannibalized, when will you stand up? we will have a vote soon to block the president's destructive ef

getting a vote on the udall udall-kaine-paul amendment was historic, and a bipartisan majority of senators voted to support our amendment that day. the house of representatives have sent, have sent us its ndaa which includes a bipartisan provision prohibiting war against iran without congressional approval. the ndaa is now going to a senate-house conference committee. the conference committee must adopt our amendment that prohibits unauthorized war against iran. since our vote in june, tensions with iran have not subsided. they have only increased. the threat of miscalculatio and unauthorized war has only gotten more serious. this week the president on twitter is threatening that the united states military is, quote, locked and loaded on behalf of the saudi kingdom. iran's behavior in the region is highly problematic, but saudi arabia's oil interests do not determine whether the united states goes to war. congress determines that. congress, and congress only. based on our national interest. rather than threats of war, the right move is active diplomacy to lower tensions in the region. we a

two years ago senator kaine and i played a concert, me on the key board, he on the harmonica at the end of that main street at a fiddler's festival they have. the rest of the ken burns episode winds through a community called boogertown in eastern tennessee in the smoky mountains where dolly parton was born. to the grand ol' opry in nashville,-to-beale street in memphis. we like to say that the whole world sings with tennessee. but country music is more than tennessee music. it's more than appalachian music. it's more than the music of poor white americans. it comes from the heart. as burns and dayton duncan's story telling reminds us, every one of us has a heart. there is no better evidence of this than in paying less than $20 to sit at a table at the bluebird cafe in nashville. there you listen to three songwriters tell the stories behind their songs and play them for a small audience that doesn't even whisper during their performances. i sat at the bluebird on a saturday in 2013 listening to a young songwriter, jesse alexander, sing her song "i drive your truck." one of her cowriters
