she sports the chris murphy plan. the direction we have to go is get competition back into the insurance policy market. let people buy the plans that they want to buy. let people not pay for the things that they don't want to pay for, not have the government demand that individuals buy things that they don't see fit for themselves. that chris murphy plan is an important thing that we have to get to. it's her plan to the say millions of americans be added to the rolls of medicare. that medical safety net for our seniors that they paid into from the day they started working until day that they turn 65, and we still sometimes wonder about the solvency of that plan, and she wants to add millions of americans to those rolls who have not paid into it their entire life. let's talk about chris murphy, what he said about his own plan. he said he didn't think we were going to get to bernie sanders' plan right away, but his plan was the pathway to getting to a bernie sanders wanted. michael: which is medicare for all. first, a b

we have republican matthew corey and democrat chris murphy. let's go to the rules. each candidate will have one minute to answer the question and person who gets the question first while 30 seconds for a rebuttal. weards the end of debate will engage in a rapidfire segment. our first question goes to mr. corey. in the wake of the vicious , what of jamaal khashoggi type of action should the u.s. take against saudi arabia? >> thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. welcome back to connecticut. is a very delicate situation. we have a lot of ties with saudi arabia. we should not punish the workers of the state of connecticut or the country. is having million jobs at stake for this deal -- there is half a million jobs at stake for this deal. israel and saudi arabia are great allies in the middle east. we need to sanction the people involved. the cover-up was a huge mistake. we need to force saudi arabia to maybe release some of the prisoners, take better steps for human rights over there. is a delicate situation. we have a lot of ties or iranian influence in

i spoke the senator chris murphy. let's listen to what he said on this. >> they come from stakes that have passed what we call trigger laws, laws that say the minute that roe versus wade is overturned by the supreme court, abortion is illegal in their state. so, you know, they're walking the walk every single day to try to criminalize abortion. they knew what this vote was about. >> that was the senator speaking last night with chris matthews, sir. do you understand week democrats might be concerned? i a guest what called the roe v. wade a red herring. >> in my meeting with judge kavanaugh, what he expressed to susan collins as well, she's fairly confident the supreme court will not overturn roe v. wade, but i think it's entirely the exact way of doing this is going to the states. some of those laws may come before the court, but that's really the way the entire abortion issue should have been handled with in the first place. it wouldn't be such a divisive issue 40, 50 years after the initial court judgment. >>> senat

here to talk about what does, in fact, matter to voters, democratic senator chris murphy of connecticut, it is striking to me that if you look at the ad data, how much democrats have prioritized health care, and if you look at the way republicans are responding from the president on down, how much they appear to know that this is a bad issue for them right now. >> yeah, i hadn't seen that clip. that is absolutely hilarious. i mean, begging for a caravan question because i don't want to talk about the fact that i voted to repeal the affordable care act. i voted to take 30 million people's health care away. i voted to strip protections for preexisting conditions. >> quickly, for the fact to be clear, her response was to a question about her staff being on the aca. i want to be scrupulously clear about what the question was. >> but broader pattern to try to make sure they are not talking about health care. and listen, it's pretty remarkable that from scott walker to rick scott in florida, you have lots of republicans that are trying to reinvent themselves while their own attorney generals

what do you think, chris murphy, what do you make of these last-minute travails? do you think, i want to ask you the same things i asked casey, first, joe manchin decide he wasn't going to be the deciding vote the ohim guy that got kavanaugh over the top. flake looked like he locked himself in last week with mitch mcconnell. the two women, i think murkowski's got a lot of guts. i think she showed it. that's my view. your thoughts. >> listen, lisa has always been an independent. remember, ve got elected after losing a primary. she was a write-in candidate. she will always be someone that speaks her mind, votes her mind. listen, i saw susan's speech. i have a great amount of respect for senator collins. but i just think she is going to be sorely disappointed when a year from now brett kavanaugh writes the decision overturning roe v. wade. she has this opinion of him as a great moderating bridge-building voice on the court that belies his body of jurisprudence. ultimately i think that speech will live on, but it's going to be pretty embarrassing when brett kavanaugh

that chris murphy plan is important. say millions to of americans be added to the roles of medicare, that medical seniors that our they paid into from the day they working until they turn 65. we sometimes wonder about the she wants to add millions of americans to those not paidroles who have into it. hris murphy said he didn't think we would get to bernie sanders plans, but his pathway to what bernie sanders wanted. >> which is medicare for all. support medicare for all? baer: when i think about ten years ago, i think about a time more than 20 million americans didn't have health insurance. i think about a time when who have a woman given birth to a baby, would have had a preexisting condition and was pregnant and could have been charged higher rates. about a time when my friends who had breast cancer disqualified.n you could sell junk insurance plans. i think about a time when our health care system was crisis.tally in and if you listen to what representative mast is saying, to go backg he wants to that time. he wants t

is the right word a number of members of congress have expressed outrage at the fact one member chris murphy who's a member of the senate foreign relations committee issued a tweet saying it's absolutely extraordinary to in lists the president of the united states as there are agent now that is a very strong statement indeed coming from a u.s. congressman so president trump coming under a lot of attack from members of congress for what they believe is pushing what is essentially a saudi media narrative that some kind of rogue elements were involved president trump also attempting to stay head off the ongoing narrative but facing this intense criticism from congress criticism too in particular against the saudi crown prince who was once the darling of diplomatic circles in washington. president trump arrived in florida to view hurrican damage and at the same time reports began to pull to route to power to solve the admission but the journalist was killed by mistake in an unsanctioned abduction attempt has the president tech knowledge hearing about the reports we were getting very close with s

senator chris murphy tweeted he tweeted if this is true that the saudis lured a u.s. resident into their consulate and murdered him it should represent a fundamental break in our relationship with saudi arabia and quote again that comes from chris murphy a u.s. senator from the state of connecticut so you can get a sense now that the longer that his whereabouts are unknown the more pressure will be building on u.s. lawmakers and the u.s. government to try to ride some sort of clarity on what happened or if not leverage their contacts in saudi arabia to try to get any sort of clarity on his whereabouts give those on the joining us that from washington d.c. thanks very much gabriel and to these as disaster relief spokesman says as many as five thousand people may be missing from last week's earthquake and tsunami that figure is significantly higher than the one thousand that officials nestle as initially estimated to be buried beneath the rubble sotto pope will. also announce that the search for victims will and on the day at this point be listed as missing presumed dea

. >> for more perspective joining us now is chris murphy. thank you for being with us.ared kushner advising the crown prince to be, quote, fully transparent. i'm not sure why he's advising the crown prince, frankly, what to do in the first place on this? but is the any expectation they expects team to be transparent here given the stories they've seem to have concocted during the past weeks? >> well, the jury's still not really out on this question. i love the response, we'll see if they're going to be transparent. they lied. they lied for two weeks. they let the secretary of state mike pompeo go over to saudi arabia, stand next to the crown prince as they told him, the president of the united states and the world that jamal khashoggi was still alive, that he walked out of that consulate alive, when they knew the entire time that he was dead. now, listen, they killed him, they lured him there. it was purposeful, intentional. this whole thing is a cover-up, i think that's what the facts will eventually be. but we know one fact for sure. and that was for two weeks the sau

one from senator chris murphy from connecticut. to evelyn's point, if we do nothing that would be one thing. we seem to be setting up the argument that the saudis are going to use here. chris murphy of connecticut tweeted been hearing the ridiculous rogue killers theory was where the saudis would go with this. absolutely extraordinary they were able to enlist the president of the united states as their pr agent to float it. rodney, you and i talked the other day, and you were worried that the u.s. is complicit with some of these regimes like saudi arabia. this is pretty serious, that we seem to be in lock step with what they're messaging about a dead columnist is going to be. >> yeah, there's really three terrible angles to this one that the u.s. president seems to be working closely with the saudi leadership and coming up with this cottamymy story. and the third one, and more powerful and frightening and oldest trend is that the united states has stood by or actively participated in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent

i saw chris murphy in a very interesting position at a midtown bar. anyhow, he said the president was acting like a public relations agent for the saudi regime, and maryland senator chris van hollen said the president's claim, quote, defied reality. will this turn into a political mess just three weeks before the midterms? former director of communications for hillary, along with former special assistant the president trump mark lauder. welcome to you both. >> good evening. kennedy: so, mark be, i will start with you. obviously, this is the kind of foreign relations fiasco the president doesn't need three weeks before the midterms. is he responding appropriately? >> i think he's waiting to hear what the investigation shows. i mean, at this point he had a 20-minute conversation this morning with the king who denied it. we need to see more information. he's been very clear. he said it on "60 minutes" and again today, as the evidence comes out, we will have -- hold saudi arabia accountable, there will be senate consequences -- significant consequences if

joining me is democratic senator from connecticut chris murphy. thank you for being with us. well, does it boil down to your colleague susan collins? >> well, you know, i was here of course during the affordable care act debate in the last summer when everybody thought that all was lost as i was heading to that vote, and it seemed as if the repeal was going to move forward and then a all of the sudp en, it wasn't, and john mccain changed his vote, and susan and lisa obvious ly remained as no votes, so i am not going to give up until that final vote tomorrow. i know that susan's speech today later is going to be important o one, but i will be on the floor of the senate all night tonight with some of the colleagues to try to make the case that the damage that is going to be done to the credibility of the supreme court is too immense to push it through to the finish. so i know that it feels as if it is, you know, more than likely than not that kavanaugh will be confirmed, but it felt more likely than not that the affordable care act would be repealed before that vote. >> and thi

i was heartened to see over the weekend some tweets, not just by people like chris murphy who is beend on this issue, but also by marco rubio. we need our senators, and people to say enough is enough. if indeed this is true, there have to be severe consequences, sanctions is the saudis, and it has to be the beginning of our break and a relationship with saudi arabia. amy: reuters reported that turkey has asked for permission to search saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul after the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi went missing last week. jamal khashoggi's fiancee hatice cengiz is the reason he went into the embassy. accompanied him to the saudi consulate in istanbul. she waited for him outside until after midnight, returning on wednesday morning. she tweeted saturday she would not believe anything until she receives official confirmation writing -- "jamal was not killed and i do not believe he was killed." the turkish officials say they see from closed circuit around, very busy area, around the consulate, they see he went in. they don't see him coming out. medea benjamin? certainly see

and saudi relations with senator chris murphy, a democrat eiom connecticut. he sits on the f relations committee. senator, thank you so much for joining us today. the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, the ranking member, and you have en working on a letter that has just been released. what does that letter say? what kind of pressure are you trying to put on the administration? >> so under existing global human rights law passed by the congress and signed by the president, the rking democrat and the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee have the ability to ask theti administ to come to a finding on a potential gross violatioof human rights abroad, and that's what this letter asks, for the president to make a determination as to whether jamal khashoggi was indeed executed by the saudis, egedas been all now, i think you have to take this letter with a grain of salt because it is asking the administration that has shown very little interest in getting to the bottom of thistory, to come up with a definitive finding, whichhey may be u

my colleague, chris murphy, senator chris murphy, of connecticut, has been banging the drum about how brutal the saudis have been in yemen, using our weaponry, using our intelligence, using our assistance. we seem to forget that there was one country that dominated the number of people who attacked us on 9/11, the saudis. so i've been a little bit of a saudi skeptic for a long time. this just shows what they are capable of and let's be straight here. the proof is not there yet, but it's looking more and more like it turns out they are capable of a truly, truly horrific crime. >> before i let you go, what's your reaction to the president of the united states on twitter today calling stormy daniels horse face? >> you know, the horrifying thing is that we're almost used to this. and i don't even think about it any more as a member of congress. i think about it as a father. and there's a lot of fathers and mothers out there. and their children for 240 years have looked at the oval office and the president of the united states as a role model. how do i tell my children that, no, even thoug

in new haven, as we speak, two of my friends, senator richard blumenthal and chris murphy are at yale university holding a summit. senator carl glovin in the 26th district. mary pollock in the 26th district in florida, our republican friends. communities are stepping up to address whatever issues are important in that community for their own experiences dealing with cancer. this is the american spirit. it sounds corny, but this is the american spirit addressing this deadly disease. not by being afraid, but by saying the biden cancer initiative, we can beat cancer fierce. and people feel it. they feel the movement to make progress. they feel the urgency of now and it gives them hope, real hope. whether you call it the cancer moonshot or the biden cancer initiative, there are so many other initiatives around the country. the community is beginning to come together to improve outcomes. the idea is the same. double our rate of progress. preventing, detecting, diagnosing, treating and surviving cancer. as a result of the moonshot summit, leukemia and the lymphoma society started something

congress a growing number of members of congress not just republicans but also democrats including chris murphy a senior senator from connecticut who has penned a very broad and scathing sort of editorial where essentially he's laid out not only how a growing number of members of congress see the crown prince mohammed bin solomon as being completely erratic in his actions he lays out the fact that not only is there been this ongoing blockade of qatar they have been using u.s. made weapons in yemen which the u.s. is increasingly finding difficult given the humanitarian disaster there the detention of the lebanese prime minister the jailing of family members the list apparently in the minds of members of congress goes on and on to things they no longer can turn a blind eye to so what he's suggesting in fact is that there should be a blocking of arms sales and perhaps a reevaluation of the u.s. saudi relationship. from washington d.c. . still ahead on al-jazeera the family of a journalist assassinated one investigating corruption in multidimensional an inquiry into whether the government was invol

senators who are calling for an end to the arms deal two senators a democrat and a republican chris murphy is the democrat of connecticut and rand paul a republican from kentucky previously last year they were within four votes of ending a saudi arms deal well this time they say they think they have the votes to do that and that is something that has never been done with an arms deal that has already been agreed to here in the u.s. so president trump is very concerned about the economics of that deal he wants it to go through and he also has his personal relationship at stake and this is something of a rift between congress and the president bob corker the republican head of the senate foreign relations committee said that relations between the u.s. and saudi arabia have never been lower and he said this situation could cause it to in his words go off a cliff and it's very interesting wording the air let's talk a little bit about the state department briefing that happened in the past few hours what came out of that. that's right heather nauert the state department spokesman was asked abou

hope that congress will keep up the pressure on this because, i mean, lindsey graham, senator chris murphyoss the board they've been saying this. but how long will they say this when they think the story has cooled down? i mean, it's — time will tell. but even in the uk, with the yamamah deal, for example, there were clear indicators, and very few people were held responsible for it. so sadly the west has had a very bad track record on holding the saudis responsible. yeah. there is another player in this, of course, and that is turkey. we keep on getting these leaks saying that there will be audio, there is audio. how much faith do you have that they are going to reveal the truth, after a thorough investigation? well, i think the fear is that there will be a deal between the saudis and the turks that will stop them from presenting the evidence, that they claimed for over a week now that they have, and so this is the true fear. is jamal‘s death going to be a political deal simply between the saudis and the turks? time will only tell, but i am not optimistic at all. donald trump says the us

senator chris murphy of connecticut joins us. information about what may have happened to jamal khashoggi? >> well, i certainly don't have information that i can share. what i can say is that we are all very concerned that the saudis have been unable to offer any proof that this did not happen. and for any of us that have spent time in consulates or embassies overseas. we know that every single one of these embassy versus cameras, have cameras connected to taping systems. there is no way in my mind they can't offer proof he left that embassy. they have been unable do that. you partner that with the open source reporting regarding the turk's relative certainty that they have enough evidence to suggest this was ultimately a murder, perhaps a very gruesome, grizzly murder inside. it's time for the congress and the president to get beyond being concerned and do something about it. >> can i ask it another way, senator? do you have any reason to believe that jamal khashoggi is alive in. >> i don't. >> senator, what's the impact that th

senator chris murphy came off the senate floor voting no and tweeted this.enate floor where i voted no on brett kavanaugh. every republican except one voted yes. i'm upset and i know you are, too, but the silver lining is there is an election in less than five weeks where we can change all this. >> it is very interesting to me always where we do see red state democrat who is don't veer towards trump. jon tester who the president is trying to unseat is voting in montana and so is clair mccaskill and he thought he could unseat her and she is voting no as well. the politics for this especially for democrats is about not upsetting the base so much that they have no chance at all. these are going to be tight races regardless. the base is critical for these people even in red states. >> whoever wins this fight over kavanaugh is potentially vulnerable during the election. whoever loses the fight will be really, really angry. angry is a great motivator when you are trying to get people to the polls. if he is confirmed, that will be more of a ground saw behind democr

. >>> plus, senator chris murphy on the trump p.r. offensive

. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, once again to, quote, senator chris murphy, it's almost as if the president is acting as sort of a p.r. spokesman for the saudis every time president trump speaks to them, he goes on twitter and reports another saudi denial. they have denied it several times now in the last 48 hours, and indeed in the last two weeks, but nbc news is among the many organizations who had credible sources saying the saudis are preparing the case, as you said, that this was an interrogation that went wrong. and, of course, none of that explains why there was an forensic official with a bone saw around. i'm not sure what kind of interrogation that was ever meant to be. i've just come back, by the way, from the saudi consul general's residence. and you know, ali, there is an extraordinary scene there. there are police inside tonight right now, inside saudi sovereign territory going over a second building with a fine-tooth comb looking for any kind of dna samples, blood splatters on the wall, anything that might suggest that there was a murder item -- either in the consolute and the

next, connecticut senator chris murphy the basis republican opponent -- debates is republican opponentey talked about president trump, taxes, energy, and federal regulations. this 20 minute debate is wsfb tv.of >> from eyewitness news, this is great debate. >> welcome to the senate debate. i am your moderator. we have republicanth

you had chris murphy on morning joe when he was asked, does he have any reason to believe jamal is still said no. he has gotten to the point where he is convinced he is no longer alive. where they got that from their saudi, turkish or other allies, that is the central question, when that information will be made public. >> and to ayman's point about turkey's relationship with the united states, turkey has its own relationship with its own immediate and international media as well. they have jailed several reporters who have been working as freelancers for american publications. they may not take the american's side on feeling good about freedom of media. >> this is complicated. we certainly hope to get more information and we hope that jamal's fiancee gets information. this is a really upsetting story. when we come back, president trump, he's going off about the russia investigation this morning and the man in charge of it, rod rosenstein, what he says about his deputy ag after that meeting on air force fun. gredie. like vermont white cheddar. then... add bacon, bbq chicken, or baja blen

democrat senator chris murphy said if it's true, that the saudis lured a u.s.ident into their consulate and murdered him, it should represent a fundamental break in the relationship with saudi arabia. the president has said he's talked about it at the highest levels. he is demanding answers. he wants to know everything. where it is the relation of go from here? >> those growing opposition to what the saudis are doing in yemen and this just adds to it. about a year ago, senator murphy and i had a resolution to stop the arms sales to saudi arabia and it got about 25 votes. out of 100. not enough to do anything. six months ago we had another vote and we got to 47 votes. we grew from 25 people opposed to saudi arabia selling arms to them to 47. i think if we were to have another vote in the next week or two, i think you'd get a majority of the senate saying we need to back off. i don't think we need proof that there's a lot to indicate they were involved. there is enough proof to say they've been involved killing civilians in yemen and that we don't have a national

again, i'm very heartened that marco rubio, chris murphy have tweeted in support.o there's congressional voices that are on this, and we're grateful for that, i'm grateful for that, but yes, absolutely. i mean, this is the same saudis that trump went and did dances with, sword dances with. we're just hoping that people will do the right thing and speak out for journalists and for the right for us -- >> we need answers. >> we need answers. >> before you go, you have also been in touch recently, you know, in the past few days, with his family and also with his fiancee. can you tell us what they're sharing with you? >> you know, as far as the fiancee, she's been outspoken, obviously. she was very distraught, to say the least. you know, again, jamal was always very concerned about the safety of his family. and i just want them to know, reiterate that i'm so sorry for what might have happened to their father. and again, we're pushing for answers and we're not going to let this go. we're not going to let this go. >> i'm so sorry. >> thank you. >> thank you for being with
