remarks were followed by senate judiciary committee chair dick durbin. >> madam president, two days ago barbarism descended upon the city of buffalo. about 2:30 p.m. on saturday, in a predominantly black neighborhood on buffalo's east side, the loan gun man driving from 200 miles away equipped with an assault rifle, body armor and video camera carried out a targeted attack against unarmed civilians inside i of a tops supermarket. his goal? to kill as many black americans as possible. in a matter of minutes, ten people were killed including a former buffalo police officer who worked as a security guard. at least three more were wounded. it was the deadliest shooting in the history of buffalo and worst mass shooting in america this year. today we hold in our hearts every single new yorker whose lifeho was cut short during saturday's violence. we weep knowing nothing will ever be able to bring them back. we mourn with their families and friends and the entire community still shellshocked by the shooting. tomorrow i will join with president biden, the t first lay and others to travel to buf

i was struck in my interview with dick durbin when i asked him about guns. an issue that's going to get addressed. i don't sense there's the fight there for democratic voters or for democratic politicians. can that be an issue that breaks through? again, if we're operating on a theory there's only so many issues that are going to matter to voters, can democrats capture an anti-gun voter base to make -- >> he has very much a constituency that believes in safe right guns. that's something realistically in the democratic party they're not going to want to touch. is it good for america? no. i think we need to have sensible gun laws. when we've talked about minority communities, we fail to recognize we're talking about 145 million americans. we're over 40% of this population. there's nothing minority about us and when we walk outside and we are concerned that you are children are going to get targeted because of the color of their skin, we need to have frank conversations about what the change in denomination means. they're talking about a future that's already i

. >> let's listen to senators dick durbin and senator ron johnson, also hbo's bill maher on protestsourt justices homes. watch this. >> i think it is reprehensible. stay away from homes and families of elected officials and members of the court. you can express yourself. exercise your first amendment rights but to go after them at their homes to do anything of a threatening nature, certainly anything violent is absolutely reprehensible. >> i think throwing a molotov cocktail into a pro-life office fits that definition but apparently the fbi director and merrick garland and president of the united states does not. they're not even speaking out against it. i don't know what kind of resources they're putting into investigating. >> it's wrong. it's intimidation. it is against the law. [applause] look it is not, it is not terribly violent obviously but, would you want this outside of your house? elizabeth: yeah. you know, bill maher there. congressman, your thoughts on what senator johnson said, that what happened in the pro-life clinic, i think it was in wisconsin, they had a molotov coc

. >> dick durbin said more about what might come next. let's listen to what he said. >> yeah. >> why have democrats chosen not to work with susan collins in trying to get a bipartisan bill? >> i think the effort is underway. the votes today are reported -- but i think they are going to try to reach -- >> he sounds like he wants to work with collins and murkowski. that could get you to basically a vote of 52 in the senate. that would then have the power of majority and bipartisanship. >> it would. but it also would still not get you to that magical 60 number, where they would need to get to in order to overcome a filibuster on this. i think those conversations are happening in earnest. but we are presuming the 52 in that situation as well. there are a lot of democrats -- and frankly, i'm interested in hearing what your next guest has to say, on what's she we fall on the spectrum. but there are a lot of democrats that would say the way to collins murkowski planted structured would still allow for a lot of loopholes at the state level. you w

pick up now, 2006, during the alito scotus nominee, his hearing there, this is an exchange with dick durbin on precedent, stare decisis. >> do you believe it is the settled law of the land? >> roe vs. wade is an important precedent of the supreme court. it was decided in 1973, so it's been on the books for a long time. it has been challenged on a number of occasions, and i think that when a decision is challenged, and it is reaffirmed, that strengthens its value as stare decisis for at least two reasons. first of all, the more often a decision is reaffirmed, the more people tend to rely on it. and second, i think stare decisis reflects the view that there is wisdom embedded in decisions that have been made by prior justices. >> steve, how do you reconcile that with what justice alito wrote in this draft opinion, we hold that roe and casey must be overruled? >> yeah, you know, victor, i don't think you do. i mean, i think the best argument in defense of justice alito is that he's allowed to change his mind, but that presupposes that he actually changed his mind, as opposed to answering the s

will you see senator chris murphy and dick durbin and others meet with republican senators to come up with something they can get passed? is there an alternate set of bills currently being worked on? >> reporter: yeah, that's the more likely path to this. what we've seen in the immediate after math of this shooting is people like senator chris murphy coming together with republicans, including john cornyn and others to talk about a more moderate set of pieces that could amount to a gun safety package and he outline what happened some of those things are. you can take a listen to him tell it. take a listen. >> on the table are red flag laws, changes to our background checks systems, they've started investments in mental health, investment in school security. i am willing to get uncomfortable in these conversations and support things that i may have been previously unwilling to support. as long as republicans are willing to do the same thing. so you know, i have, you know, my priorities for making schools safer, republicans have their priorities. i am willing to bend and compromise. >>

. >> so, your colleague senator dick durbin has announced that the senate judiciary committee will hold. you sit on the committee. what do you expect to come out of this hearing? >> i think that the republicans will have their talking points ready, they're talking points will have been delivered to them by the nra, and they will try to shift the blame for gun violence off guns, and on to everything else that they can think of. i think that it is really, really hard to get them to cross the nra. because it holds the whip end over their political money, and over their political futures. >> i guess, you know, the nra is still holding its conference in houston this weekend. ted cruz, donald trump, were among the speakers. your reaction to the fact that the nra in the wake of this tragedy is still going ahead with these big names, for the republican party? >> i think that the moral choice was properly made by the entertainers who said no way. we are pulling out. the nra is used to breaching, fighting public opinion. it does so with money, because it has legislators who are so dependent on it

leadership of my colleague and friend, chairman jerry nadler, and my fellow illinoisan, senator dick durbin, who has been my partner in shepherding this legislation since 2017. our nation is reeling. just this weekend in california, a true hero as well as being a father, husband and physician, a true hero saved countless lives by sacrificing himself to wrestle down a hate-driven gunman inside a church. in buffalo, 10 people were murdered by a deranged white supremacist whose hate was fueled by the racist anti-semitic great replacement conspiracy theory. i can't go back in time and stop past events. there will be more buffaloes. there will be more el pasos and there'll be more tree of life synagogue type shootings. the she the shooters act a-- though the shooters act alone, these are a harbinger of what to physical low. each attack inspires the next one. whether it is a live streamed assault or screed posted on the dark web, the goal is not just to kill fellow americans, but to inspire like-minded haters to act in kind. we cannot sit idly by while domestic violence extremism spreads across o

. >> trace: and we are back with our panel very interesting because, let's face it, dick durbin, byronto me like the white house is still very noncommittal. i want to play this soundbite from jen psaki. watch. >> i think, to be very clear, the protests outside of judges homes have not turned violent. even if passions are high, even if people are fearful, even if people are scared and frustrated, which is understandable. no one should resort to violence, of course, nor threats nor intimidation nor vandalism. that those are not effective means. >> i found it interesting, byron, that not only not condemning these protests but kind of actually, you know, giving the protesters credit for not being violent under the circumstances. what do you think? >> i find it absolutely baffling, too. i agree with you about senators durbin and cotton and now it appears that legally this is an attempt to interfere with a judicial proceeding but just common sense terms it's a bad idea. i do not understand why the white house cannot say just don't go to people's houses. it's not a good idea. don't do it. pro

i think especially when it comes to dick durbin who was questioning neil sgorsuch, and e said do you accept that. he said that's the law of the land, i accept the law of the land. that's close to saying it is what it is, but to your specific word words i'm not sure if they were asked that or not. i would like to see a full transcript. steve, thank you, and thank you, jennifer. >>> i want to bring in j.b. pritzker, governor, thank you so much. you responded on twitter, saying hell no, in illinois, we trust women. how are you feeling tonight? >> well, if this leak is true, this is a terrible day for our nation and a disgraceful decision. it's a scary day for women. in illinois, we took steps to protect women's reproductive health because we feared that this day would come. and let's be clear, after the supreme court decision, women will still be getting abortions but in 26 out of 50 states, those abortions will be unsafe, and potentially deadly. and in my opinion, republicans should be ashamed of themselves. for a party that says that they're all about individual freedom, they're hell

dick durbin. thank you so much, sir, for joining me. what is the latest on negotiations?is anything actually going to get done this time? >> dana, i can't say for certain, but i can tell you, i sense a different feeling among my colleagues after uvalde. of course, ten years ago with sandy hook and parkland and so many other instances, but it is just so compelling to see the photos of these young boys and girls and to picture your own children or grandchildren captives of this madman as he's killing them off one by one amidst school and to realize it's time for us to do something. america is sick and tired of political excuses. >> you are in charge of counting the votes in the senate. you've done many bipartisan deals over the years with republicans. what is realistic right now? what's most likely to be part of any compromise? for example, the national red flag law. raising the minimum age to buy a gun to 21. >> i can tell you, what i want to see done is the word compromise, which you mentioned earlier. the question, i think, the real challenge is whether the republicans w

senator dick durbin said leadership reviewing what legislation to bring to the floor to codify roe v. wade into law, of course democrats don't have 60 votes. they're deciding whether to get input from moderate republicans. isn't this a five alarm fire and shouldn't democrats have seen this coming and had a battle plan for it? >> i think that maybe you're right, maybe the criticism is justly deserved but i don't think that the expectation was that it would be a wholesale removal of the right to abortion and that shifting to the states. i mean, what justice alito is basically saying here is crow do you don't have a fundamental constitutional right to control your own body as a woman. i don't think we ever thought it would go that far. >> i wanted you here obviously to talk because you're a congressperson but also you have a very personal relationship with this, you've been a champion for women's reproductive rights and i know this is very personal for you, you were the first member of congress to share your own experience with abortion on a house floor during a debate over planned paren

here's senate judiciary chairman dick durbin describing the strategy. >> i don't believe we will havee senate will go on record, do you want to overturn roe v. wade, that's what this is all about. if you want to vote that way, be my guest. but to put us in a situation where we're taking away a basic freedom, that has been guaranteed by the constitution and the court for 50 years is significant, historic, and senators should be on the record. >> reporter: so this is essentially a symbolic vote here, it does not have the 60 votes required to get over this initial procedural step. all republicans are opposed to it including susan collins and lisa murkowski who do support abortion rights but believe this bill is too broad and it might not have the support of all democrats. joe manchin voted against a similar bill earlier this year, he has not said how he'll vote yet. in a sign of the shifting landscape, there is one anti-abortion democrat bob casey who said he would vote for this procedural step and this bill today. there are some serious potential risks here to the strategy. not only cou

though also that you support opening up the filibuster to codify abortion rights nationally and dick durbinthis morning and suggested a change in the voting rules at this point is not going to happen. how serious are you about this? are you taking this up with leadership? >> i certainly believe that it is high time when we're dealing with fundamental constitutional rights, whether that be the right to vote or a woman's freedom to control her own body and her health care and choose when or whether to have a family, that those are so fundamental to our democracy that we should be either reforming or doing away with the filibuster. i understand the math and know that it's very unlikely to happen given our attempts around voting rights to have a talking filibuster, actually trying to repeal it outright. but i believe that we ought to be changing the senate rules when it comes to fundamental constitutional rights. >> senator tammy baldwin, thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >>> coming up for us, the journalist is killed in the west bank. the israelis and the palestini

so jake, you just heard dick durbin say a moment ago he feels like now is different.s said the same. is it different? >> i happen to line up with poet of them. i'm not sure why. i feel as if we have got ton a point where more republicans are in the room. more republicans are expressing openness about these talks. i will say peter will remember this, but back in the obama administration, obama tried to go out and build public support by going to districts and trying to essentially shame republicans into supporting some gun control legislation. thatten didn't work. i don't think that biden is going to have a big role here. i know you talked about that in your previousing isment. it seems as if the white house according to the democrats i have spoken to would be wise to step away as they have done so far and allow talks to kind of take place without external involvement. but i think they have gone pretty modest at the outset. red flag laws, and background check system. i think those things would -- if they happen speedily, if talks progress over the next week, they reall

senate republican's demands to have that vote, but of course there is another prominent democrat dick durbinnd the majority whip who said that he's open to having that vote. so senate republicans say they won't support the covid-19 relief package unless they have that vote to keep title 42 in place. so, really all of that, christi and boris is, up in the air as they're trying to continue to negotiate on this. first, of course, before it goes to the senate, this bill needs to be passed in the house. house speaker nancy pelosi told us those negotiations are continuing but of course a lot could change until now and when the house passes that bill as the senate democrats and republicans continue to negotiate how they will go forward on this piece of legislation. >> daniela diaz reporting from capitol hill. thank you so much. >>> still ahead, in the donbas region of ukraine, ukrainian forces claimed to have stopped an attempted russian advance across a key river. we'll take you live to kyiv for the very latest in just minutes. >>> and, $22,000 is being offered by texas authorities for details on

i talked to dick durbin yesterday the number two senate democrat who says he is not sure whether collinsall of the pieces of legislation fall far short of the threshold they need to get this through and no one has been willing to blow up the filibuster, to eliminate the 60 vote threshold, not nobody, but the key votes have been unwilling to blow up the thresh hold to get it through the senate. >> what is the risk of blow-back for the republicans on this. >> there is a huge risk of blow-back, i think there is no doubt about particular the majority of americans according to a lot of public polling believe that abortion should be legal, to save the life of a mother, and what republicans say is rare but safe circumstances. so to the extent, i mean this is the biggest domestic political policy decision probably in the last 20 or 30 years. aside from the health care law. which was obviously different. but this is a massive domestic political issue that will have reverberations for women across the country, and you could see, i spoke to ted cruz about this yesterday, you could just see a patch

you had the majority whip dick durbin and the chairman of the judiciary committee who is going to hold hearings on this issue of gun violence in america saying that he thinks republicans may be willing to come to the negotiating table on some of those nor narrow provisions we have talked about, things like red flag laws, things like strengthening background checks, mental health support. those are some of the areas lawmakers are looking at. you also had interesting comments from representative adam kinzinger a republican who is not running for reelection who says he thinks his mind has been changed on the issue of assault weapons and he could potentially see banning something like an ar-15. now, that is a significant statement coming from a republican. again, important to remember he is not on the ballot come the midterms in november. >> and i just think, look, they're starting to bury the kids in uvalde today and congress is away, right? they are on break. there is momentum to do something and they are away from washington. lauren, thank you so much for that. lauren fox. >>> let's tal

including senator dick durbin, who is the number two democrat, told me earlier today, doing that could essentially come back to bite them if the republicans take back the majority and the white house here. ultimately, a lot of passion on this issue, a lot of debate, on both sides of the issue. but it will be the voters who ultimately decide which party should be taking control of congress. and whether they send back more democrats in order to pass the legislation. potentially change the filibuster rules and eventually get this into law. >> manu, we're standing by waiting for that vote. let's bring cnn political correspondent abby phillip, he's the anchor of "inside politics sunday." >> also with us, analyst gloria borger. great to have you both. gloria, the supreme court, it sounds like in that draft, was basically saying this is really the job for your elected representatives, this is a job for your legislation. doesn't seem as though congress is able to do that. then what? >> well, i think that's the question, i think look, right now, this is politically, for republicans, something t

democratic senators tammy duckworth and dick durbin chair of the senate judiciary committee spoke in support of the legislation and texas republican senatorjohn cornyn opposing it . >> mister president, tomorrow the united states senate will vote to protect one of the most fundamental freedoms that women have in this country. the freedom to choose whether or not to have an abortion. few decisions are more personal, a few decisions or more private than decisions women make regarding their ownpregnancies . few should be more out of bounds to elected politicians than to the winds of government. but sadly, few rights are in

. >> next, senator majority whip dick durbin talks about the ongoing baby formula shortage and what congressds to do to address the issue. 's looking at that provides 28 million in emergency funding to help with f.d.a. inspections and prevent fraudulent products from entering the u.s. markets. >> thank you, mr. president. the hardest job in america during the pandemic certainly fell on the shoulders of our health care heroes and all of those, so a great debt of gratitude to the sacrifice and integrity they showed during this challenge. but i want to add another category and that would be the category of parents, particularly of newborn infants, during the pandemic. they've dealt with school closures and covid lockdowns, rising prices at the checkout

in there, and this is indeed tacit approval of this, she could have said what mark warner said, dick durbinrtheless, we don't like roe vs. wade being overturned and hope it's not the case, she could have said that but didn't. >> john: in total, you have the white house talking about not so much the leak as the substance of the opinion, the leak is a significant part of this, and garland saying we fully support a woman's right to choose, without commenting on the threats against the supreme court justices. >> kayleigh: it begs the question. if you don't have a particular view of the leak, the question should be do you have a particular view of these calls by left wing activists who marched in the homes of justices, three of which are in virginia, as mark hemingway points out, it's illegal to protest in front of a private home in virginia. if you are not going to denounce the leak you must provide protection for the supreme court justices, do something, at least a verbal denouncing of the leak, and sinema was chased into a bathroom and joe biden said it was part of the process. is marching to

. >> definitely a split, and when you consider dick durbin as the number two democrat, and then stenyy are like look, the justices are off limits, going to their homes is a no-no, and so you've got those folks who are saying, you know, enough is enough, let's not mess with the justices, but then on the other side, the white house and schumer who seem to be saying, you know, hey, let them protest. they want their base to be active going into the midterm election season. >> gillian: interesting stuff and the split seems to extend all the way to inside the administration itself. mike, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> john: gillian, they are the men and women who keep us safe. but is the navy letting our sailors down and risking their lives by forcing them to live under what some critics say are demoralizing conditions aboard the u.s.s. washington. >> gillian: plus this, a new record number of american deaths from drug overdoses. some experts are pointing to the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border the primary culprit, drugs including fentanyl are pouring over the border. >>

. >> reporter: dick durbin broke with many in his party on the issue of protesting these justices. >>that's a split from the white house and the senate majority leader who signaled support. >> of protests are peaceful, yes, my house, 3 or 4 times a week, that is the american way to peacefully protest is okay. but there is a difference between protesting a politician at the judge, a point emphasized by a leading house republican. >> against the law to protest a sitting judge. we want to maintain the independence of our courts and the fact that that is being encouraged by this administration is shameful, unconstitutional. >> reporter: glenn youngken and larry hogan sent a letter to merrick garland pointing out the apparent violation of federal law. garland said he directed us marshals to help ensure that justice's safety. ashley: great stuff. look at this headline in the wall street journal, quote, abortion puts the supreme court behind an 8 foot fence. how did america become a country always on the brink of personal or political violence? the author of that piece, dan heninger, jointly

he told his stop deputies, including dick durbin, he would give senators murphy and senator kyrsten sinema and other deal seeking democrats some space to test waters with republicans one last time. it was on the senate floor where mr. chuck schumer made this plea. here is a portion of it. [video clip] sen. schumer: americans can make a choice. not even voting for the sensitive or popular gun legislation. americans can cast their votes in november for senators or members of congress that reflect how he or she stands with guns with this issue at the top of voters' lists. my republican colleagues can work with us now. i know this is a very slim prospect. we have been burned so many times before. this is so important and i have such a firm belief talk to me by my father who passed away in november that if you do the right thing and persist, justice will eventually prevail. but you have to keep persisting and we will. for that reason alone we must pursue action and even ask republicans again to join us. maybe. unlikely. their hearts might see what happened and join us and do the right thing. th

senator dick durbin, the head of the initiate committee, said he was not certain the tragedy would move enough republicans to show courage in a tough situation. let's go to al in mississippi. caller: thank you for taking my call. i am a blind gun owner. i can distinguish light from dark. back in my earlier years, i sold guns. there is no telling how many i sold. late one night, a perturbed person came in to buy a gun. i would not sell him one. he went to a pawn shop, they sold him a gun. he put six shots into another man. the reason i'm calling, i had trouble. i want to know why i couldn't get a carry permit being in the condition i'm in. i've got a pump shotgun that i keep at home. i am 25 minutes from any kind of response team. that's why i've got it to keep me safe. host: let's hear from nancy in cedar falls. caller: i was the product of divorce at the impressionable age of 12 after my dad slept with other women. i seldom saw him during the day. after the divorce, my mom had a breakdown and became a raging alcoholic. my brother was out of the scene. i had the means to buy a gun. i ha

you look at the people who have been there 40, 50 years like nancy, chuck schumer, dick durbin, thats on the democrat side but we have our guilty parties that have been there too long. it is obvious the everyday person, like he says, the working people, have become aware that you have the no current events. i liked when he went to north korea. he did not pal around with the dictator but he stabilized and reached out to him. many times said, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. he was able to do that. things were very stable in the world and very safe. the fellow we have now, the first thing he did was cut the gas, pulled us out of afghanistan without getting the people out first. i don't know who exactly is telling the current president what to do. someday we will find out in a book when we are not here but he is not in charge. somebody or some people are in charge. with trump what you get is what you pay for. that is the guy. he is going to tell you what he is going to do, he is going to do it. other people are afraid. they are politically motivated. they are going to do

dick durbin and cory booker said they aren't hopeful about the talks.ember back when vice president kamala harris was a senator, she said she believed that the president could take unilateral action on gun control and ban assault weapons via executive order. the president seeming to speak to that discussion here this morning at the white house when he returned from uvalde saying the constitution says he can't dictate this stuff. he can do the things he can do but not outlaw a specific weapon or change the background checks. it is going to congress to take action, julie. >> julie: jacqui heinrich, thank you very much. >> griff: as the community continues to mourn, preparations are underway for the first funerals to take place tomorrow. senior correspondent casey stiegel is live in uvalde. hi, casey. >> hi, griff. one bright spot with the senseless tragedy we often see and talk about witnessing all of the helpers and the resources that have parachuted into this community. a community that americans didn't know the name of prior to a week ago last tuesday.

democrat senators dick durbin and cory booker expressed the feeling they are not hopeful, brian. >> yeah, jacqui, chris murphy the senator saying mildly optimistic, we'll see. thank you. >> all right, jacqui and brian. byron york, chief political correspondent, and fox news contributor. byron, start here. president biden says he cannot sign an executive order banning assault weapons. can he? >> no, he can't, it can't be done. it would be unconstitutional to do something like that. what's striking about that, there's a lot of pessimism around the whole gun issue because a number of people feel if congress didn't do anything, ten years ago after the newtown massacre in which a deranged young man killed 20 1st graders and six adults, and after parkland in 2018, a republican legislature and republican governor who is now the senator from florida, rick scott, sign a more modest gun bill. so it's -- it is possible now that senator mcconnell has asked senator cornyn to talk to democrats about this. it's possible they could come up with a smaller group of suggestions than have been tried in the

this is dick durbin from the senate floor yesterday. [video clip] >> it appears that never before in the history of america has a supreme court decision abandoned law that make americans and less free, never. in the past, when the work took the action of repealing a law, it's to expand read manatt to eliminate it. the majority of this court is unprecedented, radical and dangerous. here is another fact that republican lawmakers are hoping you won't notice. it's not just the right to abortion that is in jeopardy. justice's draft opinion questions the very existence of the right to privacy. argues that enumerated rights, rights not explicitly mentioned in the constitution, unenumerated rights must be deeply rooted in u.s. history and tradition in order to be recognized as a constitutional right. who decides what is deeply rooted in history and tradition? the court decision established marriage equality only seven years ago. the courts reactionary geordie, is that next on the chopping block? what about the right to contraception? that was e
