we have end up well we have at least in the senate kinda
I that is of course the Employment non-discrimination Act
it is going to bar employment against gays lesbians change gendered folks
a et cetera now course Elana Republicans are against that the recently had a boat
on the whether the problems with a filibuster of course they always
filibuster so they did
but they didn't have enough boats to past 6130
so they will actually have a debate on it the you're gonna boat
on the bill itself on Thursday it's very light but not very likely
overwhelmingly likely to pass mcconnell's try to do one last ricky is
a leader the republicans
in fact let me let you hear from a column self
so you can find out the Strykers join a union or forcing workers to pay
Union dues in practical terms
here's what that would mean for middle-class folks and Kentucky across
america
if you want to join a union you can
if you don't want to join a union you know up to
but the at all this is about this is just common to
its basic fairness to which of course I have to say
what will have to do with the unions would what haha I why are you trying to
sneak
a bill that would hurt people's wages across the country
in the middle but non-discrimination but this well technically would be
non-discrimination against
non-union workers as a fine little trick that they have a call right to work et
cetera
the reality is if you take away the ability to unions to negotiate for
all the workers well then you taking away a lot of their power
and their power goes to that companies
management the same people of course for the republican party
no matter what your thoughts on that are they don't belong in this bill
so their bowlers know they have lost I mean is overwhelming 6130 vote in the
Senate
so they try to find a way to monkey wrench into strength or amendments in
there
right but to try to stop its momentum but it looks like it's not going to work
in the Senate bill passed the House a different issue
let me tell you they lost a buncha republicans even on the cloture vote
so a senator Susan Collins a marker they were already cosponsors
to give them credit for that the republicans and then Kelly I ot
orrin Hatch of all folks Dean Heller rob Portman a Pat Toomey
all eventually voted to keep it vague going so they could eventually vote on
this bill
now why is that well for a number reason senator Dean Heller pollyanna Nevada
says
after listening to bottoms concerns about the issue from a variety of
viewpoints and after numerous conversations with my colleagues
I feel a supporting this legislation is the right thing to do so he change his
mind on
now D actually listen to constituents I gurgle gurgle gurgle
who actually believes that like that the house senator house like you know what
let me go out there and it does a soda bottle okay what do you think
really you think gay rights her arresting anther
know usually listen to two things one
his donors and this is where you at this very important part of the story
and what you won't hear the rest the media some the largest Republican donors
are either gay or have family members that are gay out some other
largest donors from wall street are in that category
so behind the scenes they go the Republican Sen is like a lesser man
you shut the government down all you like you definitely fight for tax cuts
you fight to kill unions do all that stuff but on this issue
you don't know where your for bread is buttered okay
salsa need hello I'll talk to constituents up
yeah here mad know you entered did some donors
and of course he locked look at the polls and he's like geez more Mersey
I get my ass kicked on this issue and i'm lou some donors
no sense in that of i've talked constituency of course Yap to voters
that's almost Andrea
died talk to them in the past and he gave before all the sudden when I talk
tonight or hate him as much
nursing how that worked out but anyway he's on the right side bless his heart
Portman said a report from Ohio but for diff reasons he had recently said that
his son was gay and hence he had
involved bombing a position see like when your son was gay
he hated when his own son is Kate credit to him he doesn't need
okay alright well I guess that's evolving and his son will pour actually
sent out a tweet saying
go dad I when they he joined
in breaking the filibuster so they can actually vote on the bill senators
Portman into me voting yes there
out a reason to me voted yes along with Kelly IOC
is because they were promised an amendment
where religious some religious groups would still be allowed to discriminate
it gets complicated but the bottom line is they want to be able to see their
voters
and so there right-wing constituents don't worry I protected religious
organizations
you can still be intolerant if you're one other okay and then
finally of course all this could work in the senate will get crushed by the house
with the Tea Party has decided 3 say economic issues
did you say there was a nano we also don't like gay people
so Speaker John bainer saying that he will not support
and up because I love this
it will be bad for the economy if we were decent to gay people
obviously that would hurt the economy
Tea Party logic or lack thereof
it just feel like we don't have to really have any we just don't like him
and I'll say I it's because what's the leaderboard say is
number one most important issue in america other comment yet because the
economy
that's why I don't like gays because they're making all the money or
something
I'll I'm at the end of the road in my reasoning for Pareto poses
see how work that right in there and on the road
