you just had chris murphy working for the last three years trying to get this through.y had a vote on this, they had only 44 yeses. they went up to 61 today. i don't see how there's any other explanation than it is a vote to reprove the administration for its handling of the khashoggi affair. two months ago, the white house was acting like the saudis' lawyer in this case. what's amazing to me is even as this horrifying evidence has been produced and we have an enormous amount of evidence now, they've continued to act as the saudis' lawyer and doubled down on it. it seems politically to be mystifying. > evan, this president has done and said so many outrageous things here at home and globally. why account congressional pushback over the saudi story you think all of a sudden? >> i think senator murphy had it right especially about republicans starting to see our support for the saudi effort in yemen as something that leaves the country vulnerable to quite a bit of exposure given the saudis' prosecution of that and the civilian deaths and very large scale humanitarian cata

to see their policies that was chris murphy senator chris murphy have got two screens in front of me here and cory booker was actually on one of the other ones speaking in the senate so a lot going on in the money let's actually just take a little pause for a moment because what we are looking at is a number of u.s. senators coming out of their meeting out of the hearing with the secretaries of state and defense they've been lining up to speak at those microphones for the waiting media there we've heard from the likes of senator bob menendez dick durbin and chris murphy they are all. strongly in their criticism of the u.s. reaction so far to the murder of jamal khashoggi and as patty calhoun was telling us a little bit earlier. very much. questioning the fact that the cia director gina haskell has not been part of these proceedings and i think it was dick durbin actually who said. pass but was not there they were told gina haskell was not there at the direction of the white house. is with us here in studio as we listen to all it's all coming about thick and fast and that's not the wa

bipartisanship with people coming together around an issue of enormous concern also think you senator chris murphy of connecticut and the other 17 cosponsors of this resolution. mister president, and a half hour we will be casting one of theos most important foreign-policy votes we have cast in recent years. it is a vote to demand the humanitarian crisis in yemen be addressed and it is a vote that will tell the dictatorship in saudi arabia we will no longer be a part of their destructive military adventurism that says the united states senate respects the constitution of the united states and understands the issue of rulemaking of going to war putting young men and women's lives at stake is determined by the u.s. congres congress, not the president of the united states. it is a congressional decision not a presidential decision if that president is a democrat or republican. mister president, march 2015 under the leadership of mohammed than the saudi defense minister and now the crown prince, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates intervened in the ongoing civil war. yemen has been a poor and st

le cheers and applause ) so chris murphy can get back to focusing on the very important work of no oneitehouse has defeated republican bob flanders. ( cheers and applause ) i gotta tell you, this kind-- this kind of election momentum es sure to put whitehouse on the path to working in the senate. ( laughter ) of course, if he'd lost, he had a backup plan: starring on the new cbs show "63-year-old sheldon." this fall. any vermont lefties out there, put your bong full of maple syrup down. because voters delivered a resounding re-election victory to vermont senator bernie sanders. ( cheers and applause ) put that back up, jim. p,nders easily defeated his isponent: a comb. ( laughter ) in the results -- do we have the results now. here are the numbers in the results. in the final results, bernie won. (as bernie) "70% of the bottom 50%, while the top .01% percent gave 30% of their donations to .0001 of the candidates. it's a national disgrace. i'm honored." ( cheers and applause ) and i am getting breaking news of one of the most important races in the country. cbs news can now confirm that

and i thank senator lee, and i want to thank senator chris murphy of connecticut, also one of the leaders in this efforts, and the other 17 cosponsors of this resolution. mr. president, in a half-hour or so, we're going to be casting one of the most important foreign policy votes that we have cast in recent years. it is a vote to demand that the humanitarian crisis in yemen be addressed. it is a vote that will tell the despotic dictatorship in saudi arabia that we will no longer be part of their destructive military adventurism, and it is a vote, as senator lee just mentioned, that says that the united states senate respects the constitution of the united states and understands that the issue of war making, of going to war, putting our young men and women's lives at stake, is something determined by the u.s. congress, not the president of the united states. it is a congressional decision, not a presidential decision, whether that president is a democrat or a republican. mr. president, in march of 2015, under the leadership of mohammed bin salman, then saudi defense minister and now the cr

. >> that is going to bring me to any next guest julia ansley, and chris murphy from connecticut, good afternoon, senator. >> good afternoon. >> and let me talk to you about acting attorney matt whitaker and should he recuse himself because he has been so outspoken? >> he has been pub uk -- publicly saying that he has come to the conclusion without the investigation being done and we cannot expect that matt whitaker can fairly oversee the investigation when he does not think it is necessary. of course, he should recuse himself. he is a politician. he was selected for the role, because he is a partisan figure, and long and deep connections within the republican infrastructure and loyal to president trump and put there to, i think, to try the slow down or stop the mueller investigation and recuse himself, but he is not going to, because he has been given specific instructions by the president not to do that >> and so he has the former attorney general jeff sessions who did this exit interview with "the wall street journal",," an he says that he is confident that the mueller probe is goin

like chris murphy the senator from connecticut that's a state where the newtown massacre at the school there took place they were reelected and they do form a voice in congress but we've seen time and time again efforts to. apply any kinds of restrictions on the federal level to guns to things like bump stocks that were used in that vegas massacre that i reference and nothing has happened what has happened has been on the state level and california where we are now where this tragedy has just occurred is a state with very very strict gun laws nevertheless it just seems that that there are so many millions and hundreds of millions of weapons in the united states that a person determined to create mayhem can lay their hands on one at this stage it doesn't appear that there's going to be a lot of movement on that issue at least not on the national level as long as the president trump is in the white house as long as the senate is controlled by the republican party for the moment we'll leave it there robin of course come back to you as we get more information on that investigation that fro

inside the war torn country of yemen the yemen war powers resolution sponsored by some others chris murphy mike lee and bernie sanders was a bad by an overwhelming margin of sixty three to thirty seven despite a strong push by the white house to quell the congressional uprising against the u.s. as role in the barbaric and tragic war in yemen it war that has now conservatively claimed more than five thousand civilian lives and is led to a massive cholera epidemic that is considered to be the worst cholera epidemic in human history affecting at least a million yemeni men women and children. secretary of state mike pump aoe sounded off in a wall street journal op ed that the saudi regime is a powerful force spur stability in the middle east and warned us all of us that degrading us saudi ties would be a grave mistake for the national security of the u.s. and its allies yeah ya heard me right. dusted off the old vital to national security line that we've heard about one hundred thousand times before to just by just about any bloodcurdling the horrible foreign policy decision that the united st

think is so symbolic about this is it is the first time and for many of these senators, say it chris murphyname a few, they have been working on this yemen issue since the obama administration and have been raising the alarm on the atrocities and the humanitarian disaster in yemen for almost three yea rs. if disaster in yemen for almost three years. if you twit —— check their twitter feeds, they are jubilant and even amazed that they were able to get the numbers, 65 to 37, a really strong message. will have to wait and see what happens when it advances but nevertheless it is a very, very important message to trump and saudi arabia that congress has had it, basically. and yet, how much you think saudi arabia is actually worried about this, does it actually worried about this, does it actually need american support in yemen and you have to think, if the crowds was worried about losing power, he wouldn't have borne on two are all ofa power, he wouldn't have borne on two are all of a sudden. —— directory. that is the issue at their heart of all this. -- tour. saudi arabia does need us missiles,

inside the war torn country of yemen the yemen war powers resolution sponsored by some others chris murphy mike lee and bernie sanders was a bad spy an overwhelming margin of sixty three to thirty seven despite a strong push by the white house to quell the congressional uprising against the u.s. as role in the barbaric and tragic war in yemen it war that is now conservatively claimed more than five thousand civilian lives and this led to a massive cholera epidemic that is considered to be the worst cholera epidemic in human history affecting at least a million yemeni men women and children. secretary of state mike pump aoe sounded off in a wall street journal op ed that the saudi regime is a powerful force spur stability in the middle east and warned us all of us that degrading us saudi tie is going to be a grave mistake for the national security of the u.s. and its allies yeah you heard me right peo dusted off the old vital national security line that we've heard about a hundred thousand times before to just by just about any blood curdling horrible foreign policy decision that the united

joining us is senator chris murphy who sponsored a resolution passed by the senate to end u.s.udi arabia, the saudi arabia-led war in yemen. good morning, senator. >> good morning. >> okay. do you take the idea that president trump floated this idea in the "new york post," that yeah, pardoning paul manafort, that's not off the table. is that real or to wind up democrats? >> who knows? i think you have to take him as his word. there's lots of things he said over the course of the last two years that we thought were just bluster that he followed through on and so ultimately i assume he is trying to continue to give reasons to those who might tell a story about the president that could get him in serious trouble especially with the house democratic majority to stop talking. i think we all have to take seriously that he may pardon manafort and if he was to do that that would be a line that would be too far from our republican colleagues in the senate, but you need to take it seriously. >> you do, you believe the republicans who supported the president in the past through all sorts

pushed by senators mike lee of utah, republican, bernie sanders, independent from vermont and chris murphycut. it could come up for a vote as soon as today. the administration is trying to make the case that it should not pass. the question will be what the administration knows about the khashoggi murder and the question about how the congress should respond afterwards by moving on either sanctions or doing anything else to punish in particular the saudi crown prince. all of those questions may not be answered in full today because of the fact that haspel is not coming. you will hear republicans and democrats raise concerns about that later today. >> let me just ask you this. the administration clearly digging its heels in here saying we have gone as far as we can, relationship comes first. you have had republicans, lindsey graham among them, say they want to penalize the crown prince. i'm not going to make you a whip, but do you see sufficient republican support to pass something over the head of the president here to penalize saudi arabia? >> reporter: it really depends on what that is.

russian and yemen, and you and senator chris murphy, a democrat of connecticut, you led this resolutionssian action in ukraine. given that do you think that president trump should meet with vladimir putin and confront him when he sees him this week? >> we are asking the president to do that in the resolution because we want from the president all the way through the government to push back strongly. what our resolution does is condemns the action and calls for the immediate release of the prisoners and vessels, and it confirms secretary pompeo's declaration and it reaffirms our strong support for the people and the government and the territory and inteaggrity of ukraine. all our allies need to make that point. putin is pressing us again. i would love to see a multinational freedom in the straits, and we need to have a presence there and do more military exercises. we can't stand by and let vladimir putin continue these aggressive moves because if we don't react to his strength and resolve, he will keep moving on into more and more areas. >> if and when the president does confront vladim

having said that i want to read to you something that connect senator chris murphy beat theed today. he says, it's not some wild coincidence that the administration's foreign policy is most explicable toward the two countries, where the trump family pursues the mote business. do you think this is the way it's viewed in many parts of the world? >> i'm afraid it is, chris. yes, i think so and my feeling, watching this g20 is very much like what ian just said, i would add this. the president is not leading any of the groups that many of these people in the g20 belong to. so we are seeing i think before our eyes a diminution of u.s. influence and leadership. the president is not leading, for example, the climate change agreement, which many of these countries long tbelong to. he is not leading in trade, which he withdrew from and it has been replaced by a counterpart chinese organization that embraces half of humanity. he pulled out of the iran nuclear agreement, to which many of these countries belong. when they look at the president, they're not seeing someone who leads. i think there

chris murphy from connecticut, democrat there, elizabeth warren from massachusetts, democrat there. maryland, then ben cardin, sheldon whitehouse, rhode island. there are five already that the democrats have taken, those seats, in the house. so, it's looking promising for them so far but they will need to flip 23 seats in order to gain control. >> a long way to go. all right, brooks jarosz, thank you very much. >> reporter: you're welcome. >>> we are checking in on those temperatures out there. these were the highs from today. 76 degrees. that's up a few degrees from yesterday. i temperatures today, warmer for the most part. we had some upper 70s and a few low 80s down in san jose and morgan hill. the story will be more of the same tomorrow. nice out there right now. concord, 77 degrees, a pocket of heat as high pressure does what it does. the air is sinking and warming and that's what's going on. temperatures will stay for a little while tomorrow. we've got this big high pressure ridge not only keeping us dry, it's keeping us warm but is also helping impact some cool overnight lows

senator chris murphy has been an incredible leader on this front. and with them influencing, they will be able to continue to change the culture in america and continue to work on these issues. what i will say is flipping houses one thing. it absolutely was crucial. and the reason that the house was able to flip was, as you implied, the parkland students in this tide that is turned in our country since february. the tide has been starting to turn before february. we were seeing state legislative bodies pass gun sense legislation in the past three or four years. nothing like we have seen this year, but it happened the last three or four years in the tide cap building and building and building. when parkland happen, the energy and the enthusiasm and the anger of these parkland students, and other students across the --ntry, enabled or continued or contributed to ensuring these midterms happened the way they did on the house side. what i really want to talk about also in terms of that is our group and many other violent prevention groups work on a cult

we have legislation by corker and chris murphy and a couple others obviously, specifically focused onemen because that's such a brutal war, the human rights -- well, the human catastrophe there is horrendous, and we have determined, at least congress has determined that it's not in the u.s. national interest to be supporting that conflict. again, it's another example, as ned said, of the saudi government actually making things in the middle east worse for themselves and certainly for the united states. so congress, congress is going to push back. >> corker tweeted something interested to me. i never thought i'd see a day the white house would moonlight as a public relations firm for the crown prince of saudi arabia. ned, what's behind this? we saw the numbers, the job creation numbers the president said are not as big, money we're getting is not as big as the president said. saudi arabia needs america generally speaking. what's going on here? this is weird. the rambling statement the president put out there, the constant references he makes to not making money off of saudi arabia, not

a couple of tweets, this one from senator chris murphy say he is live in the car on his way on to votelso heard on the hill millennials today are texting out the vote.in this one from mickey welsh tweeting congresswoman marco rubio arrives with the family and snowden alabama. and from the candidate for senate in tennessee represented marsha blackburn, thank you for your support. calls in joliet illinois. are you there? good morning, illinois. are you there? we will try that. we will go to sunrise beach, sunrise beach missouri. mike has already voted. go ahead. >> yes, sir. me and the wife was number three and four are voting place this morning. and it appeared to be kind of heavy voting comingot out but wt i'd like to bring up as most of my friends that are democrats are going to vote democrat regardless of what you try to do, you know, to tell them to like take theal person off about instead of just voting one way. i'd like to see some kind of legislation t that limits the te that you could start taking out ads. what i'm worried about is we're going to start airing ads for the 20 elec

his twitter feed about his opposition to the war in yemen and that is the connecticut senator chris murphy but there hasn't been any significant progress until now just last week publications are writing about his lonely quest to end the war but things have as we've heard certainly changed now he's been at this pushing for this for three years now and he says he posted on twitter that he was blown away by the vote take a listen. the united states senate voted sixty three to thirty seven to proceed with a debate on ending u.s. participation with the saudis in the on civil war this is just the first step in what will be a long debate this week and next week but it is the first time that the senate is set up and said that we should not be involved in a civil war in yemen that is creating the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe as we speak is that tells of the spot of a dictatorship in saudi arabia that we are no longer going to be an appendage to their adventure of military adventurism. while yemen has always been a poor country. the famine in the death there right now the people dying is

and i thank senator lee, and i want to thank senator chris murphy of connecticut, also one of the leaders in this efforts, and the other 17 cosponsors of this resolution. mr. president, in a half-hour or so, we're going to be casting one of the most important foreign policy votes that we have cast in recent years. it is a vote to demand that the humanitarian crisis in yemen be addressed. it is a vote that will tell the despotic dictatorship in saudi arabia that we will no longer be part of their destructive military adventurism, and it is a vote, as senator lee just mentioned, that says that the united states senate respects the constitution of the united states and understands that the issue of war making, of going to war, putting our young men and women's lives at stake, is something determined by the u.s. congress, not the president of the united states. it is a congressional decision, not a presidential decision, whether that president is a democrat or a republican. mr. president, in march of 2015, under the leadership of mohammed bin salman, then saudi defense minister and now the cr
