let me tell you what's wrong with senator chris murphy.wants to defund police departments that aren't making arrests on gun crimes. first of all, how do you decide whether or not the police should make an arrest? is it whether or not there's sufficient evidence? who decides whether there's sufficient evidence. what if the prosecutor says there isn't sufficient evidence, if there isn't a conviction, they haven't investigated, let's go to the prosecutors. what if they don't make an arrest for a gun crime. talk about sanctuary, talk about sanctuary cities where illegals that commit crimes are protected from law enforcement and they're not prosecuted for crimes. you want to defund law enforcement, defund the fbi. they knew about nikolas cruz in the parkland shooting, knew about the s brothers, and what about in all these jurisdictions, gun crimes may not be the priority that murders are. you defunded everybody, so they don't have half the resources they need for these crimes. let me tell you one more thing. he is basing this whole thing on the

last month senator chris murphy actually wrote treasury secretary janet yellen and he asked the same.view musk's relationships with other countries, particularly because of some investments from foreign governments into twitter so chris murphy said given twitter's critical role in public communication i'm concerned about the potential influence of the government of saudi arabia as you know, the committee on foreign investments in the united states is -- has the responsibility to review tr transactions that could result in american business being controlled by a foreign person and then it goes on, whether this amounts to anything we're not really sure. >> i was going to ask. what is the next step? what are you looking for? >> yeah, well, the treasury department is not going to comment so we're not sure where this is or whether it's going anywhere serious but there are these calls for the u.s. government to examine these relationships musk has with other countries, specifically because he now controls twitter which is a hugely important communications platform here in the united states.

. >> connecticut democratic senator chris murphy talked about the relations between the u.s. and saudi arabia. he was on a panel discussion hosted by the carnegie endowment for international peace. the discussion is just over an hour. >> good afternoon from washington, d.c. i am thread, seem to fill in the middle east program at the carnegie endowment for international peace. is my pleasure to welcome you to this virtual discussion on u.s.-saudi relations, what next? the saudi move earlier this month to cut oil production in conjunction with russia as part of the opec+ has thrust the use saudi relationship into a new phase of crises. the biden administration along with a chorus of bipartisan voices in congress view the move as a flagrant snub in collusion with putin. the saudi is their part maintained that the move was entirely due to economic self-interest at home the question then arises, what next? doesn't this latest crisis signal a significant rupture in the relationship that many have argued has outlived its strategic logic for america and become more of a liability? or

senator chris murphy democrat tweeted out "axios" story on this. doj according to a "new york times" story is concerned that this preliminary deal that biden is cutting with tiktok according to the reports isn't tough enough on china. this is basic eye q test. what is going right now, the sabre-rattling china is doing across the taiwan strait here, i think we need to get serious about the threat the communist regime is playing. neil: i know a lot of people saying there ought to be a clear line of separation from tiktok, government forces an sources but, that's almost impossible. we've learned from a number of other chinese interests that the government's always there. alibaba comes to mind. the government isn't going anywhere? >> i think some people held the hope early on we could cordon this off, firewall in place, stop the data going back to the ccp. stop bytedance, beijing from getting it. all the reporting there is simply no firewall in place. these employees in beijing are essentially dual hatted, working for beijing, working for tiktok, accor

. >>> i want to bring in chris murphy. so much to talk about, senator. i get your reaction to the breaking news. if donald trump announces in a matter of weeks, how does it change the game for 2024 or does it impact 2022? does it impact what happens on tuesday? >> i'm not sure how much of an impact it has, donald trump is the leader of the republican party. every single candidate running for senate in targeted races around the country only become the nominee with his endorsement. they promised to install him in power after the 2024 election, regardless of whether he wins or loses. donald trump is on the ballot. he was on the ballot before this news today. he's on the ballot tomorrow. i just don't think there's any way for republicans to run from the fact that their party has become effectively a cult of personality. their party doesn't really have any ideas any longer. it pledges allegiance to mr. trump and they follow his sort of daily directions. that was true before he was likely running for president and if he announces for president, it will be true

we will not do so unless at gunpoint, sorry to be a free speech. absolutist democratic senator chris murphy is now demanding a u. s. government investigation into must own twitters financial participation from saudi arabia, which is the platform, 2nd largest. interesting that no one seem to care when the saudis originally made that investment in twitter long before must came along or that government switch murphy calls quote, repressive. have had tons of cash flowing into hollywood and american media outlets as advertisers. let's not even get into the lobbying cash spent influence actual policy makers in washington. and that cash conveniently didn't have any particular color or censorship until musk took over vowing to callback censorship. now suddenly this u. s. official is driving out the old for an interference hammer to use against him . french president, emmanuel michael, was asked recently in an interview with french state media about russian media outlets remaining accessible in france through online platforms like rumble, for instance. and he vote the states russian media vanny effo

on top of that democratic senator chris murphy is now demanding a us government and investigation into moscow. and twitter is financial participation by saudi arabia. the platform, 2nd largest financial patient, interesting that no one seemed to care when the saudis originally made that investment in twitter, well before long or the government, which murphy calls, quote, repressive, have long had tons of cash flowing into hollywood and american media elements as advertisers and let's not even get into the lobby cash then to actually influence policy makers in washington. none of that cash had any particular color or citizenship until must took over twitter that when to clawback censorship. now suddenly, this us official is dragging out the old or an interference, tamar to bash last with fresh president emmanuel. my call is asked recently in an interview with front state media about russian media outlets. re me accessible in france through online platforms like rumble. for instance, invoking the dates russian media banning efforts, mac holstead, quote, were using the information a weapo

at believe i saw senator chris murphy that filed a letter with the committee for foreign investment to united states. it is a group that reviews our national security interests and i think it is an appropriate letter that asked for a review because it had $1 billion plus investment of an existing shareholder of a publicly traded company twitter that is from saudi arabia, a leader in saudi arabia. so now that is converted into a private company, but less than 5% ownership. one of the cases that synergy -- senator murphy made was twitter has sensitive personal information on people. what is the criteria for the review? does it impact our national security interest? is that a risk to compromising personal data on our citizens? i think it is a easy solution. it's not a majority control. it is a minor investor in the company, even though it is a lot of money. ultimately, i think they will set some protections to make sure they don't have access or decision-making or authority over that. in the investment -- the investment is made not always by a foreign country, by -- but by private sector

this is an amazing thing i saw this morning with thanksgiving vacation out pops chris murphy from therible shootings last week and said he was talking about one of the locations of the shootings. but you have is correct amendment they have decided that they are going to essentially refuse to implement the laws that are on the books we have to have a conversation whether we can continue to find law enforcement and they are refusing to implement the gun laws. >> then they will defined the police but for immigration that's fantastic they are all for that. >> yes the hypocrisy itself this is what the democrats are known for a mass shooting in the nation and other parts of the world we have to look at the social and psychological issues putting all that aside all you have to do is listen to what the democrats are saying to know they are hypocrites because they have district attorneys no bail or low bail and that criminals out on the streets even those carrying weapons reducing the charges they do not care. they do not really care they care about playing politics against the constitution an

but also because we know that on the republican side they lack the political will, while senator chris murphyn support with the safer communities act, stopping gun violence is going to be more than a political act but a societal moral issue, over 39,000 people have lost their lives, 39,000 people, 600 mass shootings alone this month. if we don't begin to put our entire society behind stopping gun violence, stopping violence period, i'm afraid it's going to get even worse. >> and sarah, is there any political support with republicans? we've heard this, we've known for this for so long. >> i think when you're looking at something like the assault weapons ban, no, not a lot of future for that. where i think republicans willing to come to the table is on beefing up a lot of enforcement on the laws that we already have that we're not enforcing. lot more police in prosecutors to take illegal guns off the street i think republicans will come to the table on something like that. the problem is it's political fun to talk about some new gun law you're going to pass. we got a ton of gun laws. we're not
