12:42 am
1804. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: the senator from texas, mr. moves to concur in the house amendment to the senate amendment h.r. 2882, with further amendnt 1804. the presiding officer: there are two minutes of debate on this amendment equally divided. the senator from texas. mr. cruz: mr. president, right now israel is facing the worst war in 50 years. on october 7, more than 1200 israelis were murdered by terrorists. more than 40 americans were murdered by hamas terrorists. hamas was funded by iran. hezbollah is funded by iran. th biden administration has flowed more than $100 billion to iran, has sent the money that paid for the hamas terrorists that committed those act of atrocities. this amendment is very simple. it prohibits the biden administration from sending
12:43 am
billions of dollars to iran. the ayatollah pledges death to america and death to israel. the question is, does the unite responsible for funding the genocidal, theocratic lunatic who leads hamas, who is waging war against israel? the democrats are going to move to table, and so a vote -- for yes is a vote to fund iran, a fund for no is to say not one more penny should go to the ira. the presiding officer: senator's time has expired. mr. cardin: mr. president, i rise in opposition to this motion. it does not do what the senator from texas says. our sanctions are critical national security tools. the u.s.-iranian sanctions are the strongest economic sanctions in the world. the cruz amendment would
12:44 am
eliminate the waiver that's available for national security interests. this provision would effectively limit the use of the waiver in any instaes in which is met the significant threshold. for example, use for accommodating humanitarian or basic human needs, including food and medicine, and to pay for vetted third-party non-iranian vendors. it would also effect our sanctions against iran. for all those reasons, i move to table the motion to concur with the cruz amendment 1804 and ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. there is. the clerk will call the roll. vote: the clerk: ms. baldwin. mr. barrasso. mr. bennet. mrs. blackburn. mr. blumenthal. mr. boozman. mr. braun. mrs. britt. mr. brown.

12:53 am
of women and girls sports for the safety of their locker rooms and showers. the biden department of education is doing the opposite. my amendment is simple, to ensure only biological women can compete against each other. an educational institution should not be able to to use funds to facilitate biological males competing in sports. it's time to draw the line in the sand. women are being aroom. it's time to show what side you're on. when you vote i hope you take a look in the camera and smile and then you go home and explain your vote to your daughters and granddaughters and young women in your family. the presiding officer: the senator's time has expired. the senator from washington. mrs. murray: mr. t, this amendment would create an outright blanket ban on transkids in k-12 schools participating in any sport
12:54 am
activity consistent with their gender identity in every single state. let me just say this loud and clear. this amendment is as bigoted and dangerous as it is unnecessary. of all the challenges facing our nation, i am stunned this is how any senator would ask this institution ■tospend its ime. transkids deserve to be kids. they deserve to play sports, go to, be with their friends. they should not have to worry about hateful rhetoric and laws that attack their very existence. and they definitely shouldn't live in fear of a congress that's going to stipulate that their school won't get any federal funding if their coach just simply lets them play sports with their friends. this is -- that's nothing to say that passing any amendment on this billill guarantee a government shutdown. i urge my -- the presiding officer: the senator's time has expired. mrs. murray: -- to vote yes on the motion to table. mr. president, i move toab conc

"mr. smith goes to liberty is a thing to be burr -- too precious to be buried in books. men should hold it in front of them every day and say i think . my ancestors couldn't. i am and my children will. my amendment tackles a fundamental issue, protecting americans' first amendment rights in the virtual town square. the first amendment is the beating heart of our constituti. it protects fundamental human expression, and the government shouldn't be deciding what we can read or hear -- the presiding officer: order in the senate.y. earlier this week, murphy v. missouri was heard in the united states supreme court. i filed that as attorney general in missouri. at issue is what is at the issue, the heart of the issue here in this amendment, which is simple, should the federal government in its lefb identify than of -- leviathan of agencies

1:11 am
without real work and real bipartisan commitment. this is a legitimate issue, making sure that we have notice when you have an individual in state or local custody, but this version of the amendment doesn't work. it likely violates the 10th amendment, itikelythe fourth am fundamentally misunderstands the statute it implicates, 8 usc to do this in a bipartisan manner. in fact, a number of us just recently introduced legislation that would allow ice to obtain a legal warrant when you have an individual in state or local cust custody, to make sure they're . let's continue to work on this very important issue. this is just the wrong way to do it, likely, deeply , i would moo table the motion to concur with the johnson amendment number 1706 and i would ask for the
