here with us is democratic senator from connecticut senator chris murphy.rump is expected to announce next week he's going to or this week that he's going to decertify the international nuclear teal with iran. the president offered a preview of his thinking earlier last week. take a listen. >> the iranian regime support terrorism and exports violence, bloodshed and chaos across the middle east, that is why we must put an end to iran's continued aggression and nuclear ambition they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement. >> on the issues president trump raised, he's right, iran does support exporting terrorism, it does export violence across the middle east. was it a mistake on the part of the obama administration to not require iran stop its support for terrorist groups as part of this deal? >> absolutely not. the president is right. there are all sorts of other misbehaviors of iran in the region but what we came to the conclusion -- we came to the conclusion those behaviors would have been more dangerous if iran was a nuclear weapons country so

what chris murphy is saying this qualifies him from running for rom president. he is talked about as a likely presidential candidate. he is arguing president trump continues to spend money that congress i has not appropriated. it is a violation of the document. every senator dixon both to uphold this document. and president both uphold this document. it is for subsidies of the premiums themselves. they are in place because congress appropriated the $44 billion, giving the president the authority to spend it. when you sign up for obamacare in november or december, you will find your eligible for a subsidy and you will get it. there was a second kind of subsidy about a billion dollars a year intended to help low income people with their out-of-pocket expenses. their deductibles and co-pays. congress is not appropriating the money for the subsidies. court judge ruled the president is not supposed to be spending that money. president obama illegally spent that money. he was told congress had in appropriated -- had not approved -- had appropriated the money. the obam

senator chris murphy of connecticut. hy, i know days like this are a difficult day for you and for your constituents bs especially in newtown, sandy hook. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. thank you for having me. >> the white house press secretary today said i think there will be time for that policy discussion to take place. that's not the place we're in at this moment. and, you know, coming from the white house, obviously, this white house likes to mix it up, be bombastic and to disagree with democrats such as yourself but i think people are torn whether or not it is the right time to make changes and talk about guns and policy when the country is in tears. >> so i understand that sentiment. i understand that when you are within hours of a shooting happens, the instinct to be focused on compassion but compassion comes in a lot of different forms. when a murder happens, the police don't wait 24 or 48 hours to try to solve the crime and hold someone accountable and we shouldn't wait because the responsibility fo

that there is one area however that people can really make their voices heard with people like chris murphy and that's with this new review that the white house is currently undergoing to liberalize the export of small arms for sales for commercial purposes so basically the white house is considering internationalizing the second amendment in the sale of arms small arms and this is something that americans can say hey wait a second we have an epidemic here we don't want to export this to other countries where does this debate stand in congress right now tyson because i know that there are many congress members of congress who are actually pushing to loosen the control. on gun ownership right i mean you have forceful advocates on both sides and they have their constituencies that they're responding to you have somebody like chris murphy who is personally affected not a you know he knows those community in sandy hook he represents connecticut in the senate and then on the other side you have people like rand paul ted cruz you know representing strong pro-gun states and they're not going to le

as a political choice come at major democratic donor with chris murphy saying his party should give back donations received from weinstein. >> this is a pretty bright guy who did some really awful things. if people need for the money to be returned in order to make it clear that they want nothing to do with him and his behavior, probably a smart move. cheryl: they are going to donate money from weinstein to cherry. the company reportedly planning to change its name. lauren: also breaking overnight come the president trump sending congress to 70 item listed new demands in exchange for protecting dreamers. they include overhauling the green card system, cracked and unaccompanied minors entering the u.s. and building a border wall along the southern border. the president requesting funds to hire immigration judges, prosecutors plus 10,000 additional isolations. the president announced the end last month giving congress six months to come up with legislation to help so-called dreamers brought to the country illegally. a hundred thousand dreamers from deportation. train to talking about that

i want to pull up a quote from senator chris murphy, a democrat from connecticut who was senator duringific shooting and he said it is positively infuriating that my colleagues in congress are so afraid of the gun industry. he went on to say it's time for congress to get off its rear end and do something. he was more colorful and his word choice. that is where this debate is headed. it is just last week when representative steve scalise returned to congress following this shooting just days before the congressional baseball game. theour point about what president will take. he is taken several different tones following the strategies -- these tragedies whether at charlottesville. we have also seen him deliver a much more somber and reserved tone following the shooting during the congressional baseball practice. i also remember covering him on the campaign trail following shootings in europe in which he really did strike a rhetoric and tone that was much more in line with the national rifle association. without question, it's unknown what type of message the president will deliver in a f

democratic senator chris murphy criticizing the president's decision. >> the fact of the matter is the president is trying to sabotage the american health care system, trying to put a gun to the head of constituent by taking away health care or raising racing cars to force us to repeal the bill the american public doesn't want us to repeal. cheryl: meanwhile the president created this on saturday. health insurance stocks which have gone through the roof during the obamacare unit plunged yesterday after it ended their windfall. on friday, excel three-point 33%. molina health care three-point 37% and income fund 3.11%. all the big insurance names that are taking these payments in from the federal government. the president will meet with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell today. there i could just as the budget, tax reform in the issue of health care coming out. lauren: white house national security adviser h.r. mcmaster saying he supports president trump plan on the array nuclear deal. >> what the president has done a saturday marker to iranians into our allies and partners that we h

here's congressman chris murphy. once again, at his golf course in virginia, he's just returned back here to the white house. you know, yesterday he played golf with republican senator lindsay graham. excuse me, yesterday, he played with republican senator lindsay graham. today he played with his colleague in the senate rand paul, and then tomorrow, he's going to be meeting here at the white house with the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. you know, it is no secret that those two have had a fairly rocky relationship. in fact, just yesterday the former chief strategist here at the white house, steve bannon, said that he was, you know, declaring a season of war against mcconnell and other republican establishment figures, but if president trump hopes to accomplish any of his legislative agenda, namely tax reform, he is going to need mitch mcconnell on his side. these two men really need each other, and so tax reform, healthcare, immigration, all of those items going to be at the top of their list when they sit do

in particular, let's talk about senator chris murphy from connecticut who called for gun legislationook shooting and gabby giffords. we'll get the reaction on the other side. we do not have that sound. but you have seen the statements from chris murphy from gabby giffo giffords saying now is the time to do something about gun control. of course republicans argue the opposite. now is not the time. is there ever a good time to have this conversation in this political environment? >> reporter: i think president trump is inevitably going to have to have that conversation. sometime this week in the coming days, in response to the las vegas shooting. le president trump's response yesterday did earn bipartisan praise because even his critics admitted he rose to the somber moment, that it was a well received day of solemnity from the white house but obviously that's not going to last once we find out what drove this shooter to do this, how he was able to obtain so many gunning, that's going to frame the debate and the white house will lose that excuse of not wanting to discuss the case until

when senator chris murphy says it's time for congress to do something, is the president -- ms. sanders: congress should get up and do something. i'm not sure it's specific to that. i think congress has had several months of doing very little and we'd like to see some actual legislation. reporter: what would the president like to see congress do? ms. sanders: we haven't had the moment to have a deep dive on the policy part of that. we have been focused on the fact that we had a severe tragedy in our country. and this is a day of mourning. a time of bringing our country together. that's been the focus of the administration this morning. reporter: that day he was talking about the travel ban. saying he didn't want congratulations -- ms. sanders: there is a difference between being a candidate and president. reporter: i do want to ask. before last night a bill was advanced through the house, republicans cleared it through the house committee of natural resource that is would, among other things, make it easier reporter: that day he was for people to buy silencers. hillary clinton t

ainsley: we heard nancy pelosi and also this weekend chris murphy, senator chris murphy the democratnt doesn't do what they want him to do, they will shut down the government. she says if the government shuts down, it's the production' fault and chris murphy as well. >> what is he doing is hurting the american people. this isn't about policy. we have a path in the senate, bipartisan path. at least i wonder if he even knows what that path is. because from what he says is it doesn't sound like he has knowledge, knows the facts, bases his decision on evidence. they have the majority in the house and the senate and the president's signature. they have the power to keep government open. >> this is the equivalent of healthcare arson. is he literally setting the entire healthcare system on fire just because the president is upset that the united states congress won't pass a repeal bill that is supported by 17% of the american public. >> first of all, i love that nancy pelosi actually said out loud on a sunday morning show it's not about policy. it's sort of like what she said originally we

i appreciate the sincerity of chris murphy.em is, they offer ideas that would have nothing to do with preventing the tragedy. this shooter passed background checks. if someone is not a felon and they haven't been adjudicated with a mental illness a background check won't stop them. they usually do pass background checks. the basic standard for public policy is show me how your idea or your proposal will actually help matters. with the mass shootings it is just -- these are very difficult to stop. >> bill: how would you address rich's comment? >> why would we not at least try here? the fact that someone can go into a gun store and purchase a semi automatic weapon, which by the way is only used to kill people. >> that's completely untrue. >> i'm from arkansas. i grew up around hunters, i grew up around -- my family all avidly hunt. they will tell you there is no reason why they should purchase a semi automatic. >> i think with all due respect i think you're confusing semi automatic weapons with automatic weapons. they've been hea

when your connecticut senator chris murphy it seems like it's your district . it includes newtown school massacre back in 2012. whether you agree with this mission to seek to tighten gun laws or not it's hard to not step up and say something. while we call the segment sound asleep the impact of sand i hook is personal enough to understand that that might be a little bit difficult for senator murphy right now. on the other hand, vice-president might have a bit of a headache on his hands. as chief of staff mike gairs when he floated the idea that they spend their efforts to purge efforts who aren't standing in line with the trump administration. when republican s are trying to beast a unified front going midterms they have an idea that a purge may not be afoot. make it a good night, the morning crew is here at 46789. twenty-five. good night. ralph northam: i'm ralph northam and as a doctor, nobody ever asked if i'm a democrat or republican. they just want my help. so if donald trump is helping virginia i'll work with him. but donald trump proposed cutting virgini

senator chris murphy said, "it is positively infuriating that my colleagues in congress are so afraid of the gun industry. it is time for congress to get off its ass and do something." but gun control is unlikely to go anywhere. the industry in america is huge, and its lobbying organization has managed to see off any a attempts at reform. indeed, one of the ironies of previous mass shootings is that sales of weapons tend to increase, as gun owners fear that new controls will be introduced. but that is unlikely to happen with president trump, who has allied himself with the national rifle association. president trump: as your president, i will never ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. never ever. jon: it is estimated there are as many private guns in circulation as there are people, around 300 million. around 30,000 people die each year in gun-related incidents -- the figure includes suicides , accidents, and murders. which means in the last year, four times as many people in the u.s. died from guns than the total number of coalition forces killed in afghani

what chris murphy is saying really disqualifies him from running for president.is already being talked about as a likely presidential candidate. he is arguing that president moneyto continue to spend that congress is not appropriating. that is a violation of this document and the president like every senator takes an oath to uphold this document. let me explain what has happened. there are two kinds of subsidies in this affordable care act. year,g one, $44 billion a it's for subsidies of the premiums themselves and they are still in place because congress appropriated that $44 billion, giving the president the authority to spend it. when you go to sign up for obamacare, you will find that you are eligible for a subsidy and you will get it. there was a second kind of subsidy, about $8 billion a year , intended to help low income people with their out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles and co-pays. congress did not appropriate the money for those subsidies, so a judge in the thatict of columbia ruled the president is not supposed to be spending that money. president o

senator chris murphy represents middletown connecticut and is best known for his eloquent filibuster on the floor last year following the massacre in orlando. his op-ed today in the "washington post" calls for sensible gun laws and reminds us that there are attainable solutions for this uniquely american problem. thank you, senator murphy. thank you very much. i am pleased to be joined today with some of the leading lights in the united states senate trying to make this country a safer place. the idea that you can wake up on any given day, go to a concert or first grade classroom or church and find yourself under fire from an automatic or semi automatic weapon designed intentionally to kill as many people as possible is absolutely bone chilling. and we are here today to say that enough is enough. the reason these continue to happen and people die every day across the country is because public policy choices that this congress makes. this epidemic is a uniquely american problem. it doesn't have been in any other industrialized country and it's not because we have a higher rate of ment

and you got diane feinstein and chris murphy and chuck schuemer that are eager to help him do it. those pink hats at? so in all of this -- i tell you, i don't know if you follow me on social media. some days it's rough and i apologize to you. people say how on earth do you get through some of the hate thrown your way? well, faith, a good sense of humor and a pray forum. i mean really, god bless you, not in a southern way. like really, you bless those who curse you. it's not something that's easily achieved. believe me. you can go back since 2008 and look at my history in broadcasting. i'm not perfect at it but i'm trying real hard. i'm trying to get right with the lord. you bless those that curse you. you live your life -- you live your faith in such a way that it causes nonbelievers to question their absence of faith. that is my goal and i'm trying real hard at it. some days are harder than others. i want to be that light. i want to be that salt. that's what we should all be doing. there's enough hate in this world. it's easy to match it. it is fun to be indignant. it is one of t
