end who say, there are places where the president overstepped his authority having to do with nondiscrimination issues that infringed on religious liberties. >> could you sense frustration for the chairman about the issues sidetracking the military debate and the readiness debate? >> yes, and it is not just the chairman. you hear people on all sides of this issue getting really frustrated that this has come down to it -- you are talking about enormous national security bills. the bills that will fund the pentagon and overseas operations. >> the biggest bill that congress passes each year. >> even if they are not failing, they are passing. cloudre passing under the of real frustrations and real anger and veto threats. i don't think anybody likes it. i've heard republicans who support the democrat side. why does this have to be happening here and now? it is interesting to see who is blaming who. i don't think anyone is happy, this just seems to be the necessary existential context. the defense department tends to move ahead of the country on these things. >> before run out of time, if this unusua

it's common sense nondiscrimination protections.d i think what pete williams was saying earlier is that the governor in passing this law claims that he's trying to protect folks in north carolina. protect who? from what? what's the question the governor has to answer. you cannot name a single instance in north carolina or anywhere in this country where a transgender person has gone into a restroom and been arrested for committing a crime. it's outrageous. it's ludicrous. here's what happened. this governor thought he was doing a political favor to a small group of religious right anti-lbgt folks. these same organizations, tamron, tried to pass the same laws in 35 states, in 196 different attempts this legislative session. the vast majority of state legislatures and the majority of governors, including republican governors, rejected these attempts. this governor took the bait. he took the bait and in the dark of night passed this reckless bill and day in and day out he's trying to defend it. as long as he does, they're going to lose

hb-2, in its discussion, saying of can not have that as part your nondiscrimination laws, moved to strike that down. we would encourage jurisdictions inclusive and open as possible in their coverage.imination threshold for curtailing federal funding? >> with respect to federal funding, the statutes we've brought the lawsuit under do provide the opportunity to federal funding either under title ix and under the butence against women act as i've said, we remain open to discussions with the state. we know that the university has reached out to us. their board of governors is meeting tomorrow. whatmain anxious to see those discussions will bring and so we are deferring on the curtailment now but we retain that right. it would be premature to give a date on when we will take that step. said thathe governor the justice department is bullying and engaging in overreach. about that? >> i think the people who feel bullied are probably the transgender individuals who live the state of north carolina and live and work beside their neighbors without any problems years andone so for are how being singl

americans with disabilities act, it's phrased, and declare there's religious freedom under these nondiscrimination federal contracts. democrats very quickly saw that as a threat to lgbt rights for employees of potential religious organizations that idea an organization -- religious organization is, not very closely defined. and so there was a pushback. it was actually led by republicans. it was a bipartisan crew that tried to bring up an amendment to the defense policy bill to get this part out once it hit the floor. but the rules committee is all powerful in many ways and they didn't let that amendment come to the floor. so what you saw happened was an amendment now come from sean maloney who -- it's not specifically tied to the exact same language into the russell amendment but it's kind of borne of that frustration that came up. maloney had an amendment on the floor -- democrat from new york. had an amendment. put an amendment on the floor for this appropriations bill, the military construction and veterans affairs one. this happening thursday morning, exactly, i'm sorry, that said you cannot u

eliminates the right to sue in state court for discrimination and prevents cities from enforcing nondiscriminationrdinances and prevents cities from raising local minimum wages. this is also an anti-working class north carolina citizen bill. >> you've hit the nail on the head. north carolina has become ground zero in the national struggle for equality in the law. first they pass restrictive efforts to bar the right to vote through voter i.d. they refused to extend medicaid to the poorest citizens in the state. and now they passed h.b. 2 which s purports to discriminate against the lbgt but is a broad assault on the constitutional rights of many citizens in north carolina. the provision which bars an enforcement of the anti-discrimination laws of the state, particularly in employment, is something that is absolutely outrageous. and the fact that they have prohibited local jurisdictions from adjusting the minimum wage is yet again another example of what was intended. the bill is also offensive, though, in another really important way. it really propagates this malicious idea that somehow the transg

facilities of their gender identity so we turned it over to our site council to look at making a nondiscrimination statement and ultimately a use of school space policy on what that means to accommodate. >> when you went before the legislature in kentucky, the quote that i have here is you said the value of human life is the same in kentucky as it is anywhere in this nation and we're talking about an issue of civil rights. we're talking about the value of individuals, the value that we put on human individuals. those words i'm sure resonated with the families of the children, particularly the one you just spoke of. but as you know from the lieutenant governor of texas today and many others, they see it quite differently than you. what's been the overall reaction to the decision you made two years ago or that was made two years ago? >> right. our school's community has been overwhelmingly supportive of how we treat not only transgender students but using this as a basis for establishing how we treat every single individual, regardless of their religion, their ethnicity, their sexual orientation or

and, in fact, in the dozens of years -- in fact, the first nondiscrimination policy that actually protected a transgendered person's right to use the correct bathroom was 1975. with so many years since and with 18 state laws and hundreds of municipalities having these laws on the books all across the united states in places like dels and atlanta and louisville, kentucky, there's not been a single incident of public safety or harm that has been the result of these laws so -- >> sorry. let me ask you really quickly before we have to go. this is according to reuters poll americans are divided on this issue with 44% people saying people should use the bathroom of their biological sex and 39% say they should use a bathroom they gender identify with. what is the resistance? >> i think people are trying to wrap their head around it. for some folks it's new. this is an issue that frankly i heard the other day, you know, as transgender people we typically don't want to be in the spotlight. we want to be able to use the bathroom that is accurate for us. the folks who are really bringing this into the
