Leslie is joined by Congressman Joe Kennedy III, who represents the Fourth District of Massachusetts. Currently in his fourth term, he represents a diverse district that stretches from the suburbs of Boston to the more industrial cities of Massachusetts’ South Coast.

Congressman Kennedy is a member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, and also serves as Chairman of the Congressional Transgender Equality Task Force.

The two discuss the Trump administration's transgender military ban that goes into effect this evening. They also talk about the resolution authored by Rep. Kennedy that passed the House by a bipartisan vote of 238-185, rebuking the hateful ban by President Trump.
