chris murphy, thanks for being here. you and i have talked about the filibuster, and getting manchin and sinema on board, on multiple occasions. it all looks like it's over tonight. this was supposed to be the last hurrah for senate democrats, and those two are not budging. is it over, and if so, is it over for american democracy? >> well, i think the stakes are just so high, that we can allow it to be over. i understand that it didn't look great with senator sinema making a pretty clear that as of right, now she's not willing to support any changes, and the senate rules. the stakes are existential to the country. they made it clear that they want to run the state elections -- seated in power, regardless of whether they win or lose. so, we've got a come back to the drawing board and see if there's a new plan that senator sinema, or manchin, might be able to support. right now, it doesn't look like we have the votes, in the next 20 4:48 hours to get the voting rights bill passed. we just have no choice but to stay at it.

chris murphy of connecticut joins me now. let's go over that.y, nato is not on the same page what to do about this situation. talk a little bit about those differences and kind of where the u.s. falls on what to do if russia gets more aggressive. >> well, first of all, i was proud to join this bipartisan delegation seven of us republicans and democrats to make clear to both ukraine and russia that there is no daylight between the two parties when it comes to backing up ukraine and making sure russia pay as price. you're right to really see biden's concern for nato remaining whole and unified because putin's short term goal may be to regain influence over ukraine but his long term goal is to break up and smash nato to pieces and so biden has to do two things here. he needs to send a message in ukraine but do it in a way that keeps nato together then for ukraine to be nato's undoing because that's his goal in the end. it's a fine line he needs to walk for the president to deliver a message to putin that will show him there are going to be serious

joining us now democratic senator chris murphy who is just back from kyiv where he and a bipartisan congressionaln met with ukraine's president. senator murphy, appreciate you joining us. do you think the u.s. should and will move to increase the lethality of weaponry to ukraine? >> well as you know, anderson, the united states has been the most significant security partner with ukraine since the initial russian incursion into ukrainian territory in 2014. we've provided lethal assistance, nonlethal assistance. we have had literally thousands of trainers inside ukraine and i expect that security commitment will continue. in fact, it should grow. the united states congress just a few weeks ago passed legislation increasing the authorization for direct military assistance to ukraine and i think it's incredibly important right now that we make russia understand that while there may not be u.s. brigades on the ground fighting russian soldiers, there is going to be continued u.s. assistance. assistance to an army that is ready to fight and a population that is not just going to let russia march into th

chris murphy of susquehanna joins us now. chris, what you do on a year like this?st week when i was on i mentioned we were surprised we were not seeing quite as much volatility in the tech stocks and the nasdaq as we expected to see. we like to see in aversion before -- and a diversion before we start to think -- we like to see in inversion before we start to think that we did see that this morning. guy: so a buy? chris: that is something we will look for for near-term trading bottom. it is telling us the rest is being priced into the current market. once that can be fully priced in and digested in the current market we will feel better about a near-term trading bottom. things are very unique this year with the hawkish pivot from the fed. near-term trading bottom is more likely when term structure inverts. alix: talking about volatility, where is it still cheap? the volatility for the nasdaq has been much higher than the underlying s&p. where is it still cheap to protect? chris: we are also looking compared to the vix it it actually looked like it may have peaked l

one indicator out there that suggests investors are not yet fearful or panicking joining me is chris murphyhris, welcome could this be a bearish sign sometimes we want the panic as a bottom signal, right >> yes, absolutely one thing that kind of surprised us with the most recent pull back so far this year is nasdaq volatility has actually been more muted than the last couple of pull backs. if you go back six months, early december, the vxn spike was a lot higher so these more muted news are somewhat surprising. we have been waiting for a nasdaq term structure inversion to really kind of clear the decks a little bit so that's when the near-term volatility, 30-day spikes above the 90-day volatility. it has gotten close intraday, it happened a little bit but we've not closed with an inverted term truck tour yet this year that happened five times in 2021 it has been a surprise to us it feels like there's less of a fear of a crash and more of an expectation of a grind lower in tech as it gets, you know, repriced, rotated out of, and in response to the fed. it is kind of like the fed is the big r

downside because there wasn't enough fear in the markets then we will ask for an update on that chris murphys here, derivative strategy at susquehanna. let's start with the expirations we are seeing. what should we expect? >> okay. so like you said, biggest expiration of all time january is always going to be the largest because those options are listed the longest, but this january is about 14% higher than last january single stocks, like you mentioned, over 20% more the biggest question we're being asked right now is how much is options expiration contributing to the sell-off. we don't think it is a primary driver does it exacerbate near-term swings and can it contribute to intraday volatility? sure but it will have less impact on day-to-day market reaction it is going to kind of exacerbate the moves a little bit. then when we are talking about the total notional size, just keep in mind so many of the upside calls on the equity level are now out of the money so they will have a little bit less of an impact and, you know, maybe a reason to stay away a little bit from the notional calculatio

one reason to think that more volatility could be had, chris murphy of susquehanna joined us on optionsyesterday, and he is making the point he doesn't think that the tech selling is over. the reason being there's not enough stress showing in the market. on bottom here is the 10 year yield. back in march 2021 when the 10 year yield was around current levels, that is when we had a pretty big selloff for the nasdaq 100 in particular. that showed with the vixn, the nasdaq 100 relative to the vix, we are nowhere new that level, suggesting there could be more pain ahead for tech traders. guy: great stuff. thank you very much, indeed. that is a fantastic final chart, by the way. i think alix was going to use it a little later on. alix: and i am now looking for a substitute.

democratic senator chris murphy put it plainly in a tweet replying the scariest thing is it's 100% clear you can't win the republican nomination for president if you oppose political violence. he's right. we're seeing that play out all the time. this is not just high profile ted cruz with his humiliation fetish. even at the lowest levels of the republican party. a republican state senator in wisconsin who had the audacity to say the election was not stolen and to oppose a republican phony investigation into the results has now foreclosed the possibility of her future in the republican party. today, she announced she is not running for re-election. she says she was not forced out but one of the leaders in the election investigation called on her to resign. you know, you do the math. no career for you. opposing the big lie, opposing the insurrection, condemning political violence whipped up by donald trump, they are not allowed in the republican party. that's where they draw the line. posing political violence when you're side is behind it and donald trump is in favor of it is not allowed.

and ben rhodes, and ambassador mike mcfall, and joining me now, connecticut democratic senator, chris murphy, a member of the foreign relations committee. senator murphy, thanks very much. what is your take, is putin going to go in? do you think there's some window for the diplomacy that secretary blinken and the other foreign ministers are trying so hard to pull off? >> that was an excellent panel you just had, and i agree with ben rhodes take on the state of negotiations. so far we haven't seen any level of seriousness about vladimir putin sitting down across the table for the americans ukrainians to come to a diplomatic agreement. apart because his grievances are imaginary. he believes nato, the united states, presents a territorial threat to russia. that is simply not true. it is russia that has moved into ukraine and georgia. the u.s. and our allies have no interest in moving nato troops across the border into russia. i think it is much more likely that putin comes to the conclusion that the cost of this invasion will be much greater than the benefit, that the blow to the economy will b

chris murphy speaking with cnn's anderson cooper. >> ukraine has the right to decide for themselves whether they want an alliance with nato or eu. we support the democratic future where as russia is proposing an invasion or threaten invasion to force the people in an alliance with russia they don't want. the ukrainians are going to fight for their lives. there will be a long-term counter insurgency. it will be bloody and drawn out and a black mark on russia that could end up leading to russia's downfall as the afghanistan invasion arguably contributed to the soviet union's downfall. >> the crisis in ukraine is proving to be a major challenge in this first year of the biden administration, and reporters will likely ask about it about the u.s. president holds a news conference. that's happening later today. mr. biden will enter his second year with one of the lowest approval ratings of any modern day president. he has surging covid, rising inflation, and democratic in fighting have really overshadowed achievements on infrastructure, a boom as well as drop in poverty. and be sure to tune in fo

. >> chris murphy, freshly back from a trip to ukraine who told us ukraine is prepared to mount a long term counter insurgency, his words, if russia were to actually invade. it's echoed by pulitzer prize -winning author david remnick. he spent years writing for the washington post, and he published a new column in the new yorker saying younger ukrainians have been born into a far less autocratic political culture than the russian counterparts. it's not a sure thing that putin will invade. what is certain is that any attempt to occupy will provoke resistance in the bloody disaster. and he joins me now, it's good to have you, david. i wanted to talk to you precisely because of your presence in moscow in the wake of the fall of the soviet empire. and i want to sort of lay out what i understand as the russian case here of what has brought us to this moment. which i think, parts of it are true, and parts of them are overstated. but basically it's, soviet russia falls and you get guys, just keep nato and if you say nato wanted coach, and it keeps expanding, expanding nato. and you want to sq

. >> i want you to watch and listen to how democratic senator chris murphy who just this week was int from president zelensky earlier in the day. listen to this. >> i do worry that president zelensky sometimes seems more interested in twitter fights with american leaders than he does in making sure his country is protected. >> is it appropriate, do you think, to publicly undermine the ukrainian president like that? as he tries to deter what he fears could be a full scale russian invasion? >> well, i'm just not going to get into the back and forth on twi twitter battles between u.s. senators, president zelensky -- >> really a twitter battle between president zelensky and president of the united states, it was senator murphy just saying zelensky shouldn't have spoken out like that. >> yeah, probably was not helpful. i mean there's no doubt about that. but the bottom line is this -- russians are preparing for an invasion. they are massing substantial combat power along the border. i think the situation is dire, i think it's very likely there will be an invasion, although i don't think t

governor murphy the minority leader without my inauguration last week and that meant a lot. chris christie was at my inauguration. it is a blue state but it has a strong heritage on the republican side. think of governor tom kane, christie todd whitman, chris christie, new jersey, like massachusetts, where i was from originally, if charlie is here, a similar state, pretty blue, but with a tradition of frequently electing republican governors and charlie is a good example of that. so we try our best to work across the aisle. sometimes it works. sometimes it does not. i think asa said this earlier on meet the press. let's be clear about the fact that we will not always agree and we will get down and get at it. that does not mean you cannot find common ground on a good list of stuff. david: when you are in high school did you say to the governor of massachusetts, you get elected as a republican and i will get elected as a democrat and we will see if we can work together? governor murphy: i don't believe in high school and knew i would end up in new jersey. david: governor hutchinson,
