dennis murphy (voiceover): annie's diaries revealed something else, too. she and chris had sex. the boy annie had slept with just months before her death, after which, remember, she lied about being pregnant. i am starting to think that she made up the pregnancy to keep chris around because he didn't want to be with her anymore. dennis murphy (voiceover): next, jaclyn pored over annie and chris's phone records from the night of the murder. not only was chris the last person annie spoke to, but the pattern of their calls spoke volumes. 30 seconds here, and then it hangs up. immediately, one of them calls the other back. sometimes, the call is ignored. sometimes, chris's phone is blocked. what do you think is going on? it looks like a fight. it looks, like, they're yelling at each other and hanging up on each other. dennis murphy (voiceover): chris had no criminal record, and no eyewitness put him at the scene. and there was still the mysterious lj, annie's reported boyfriend whom police could never find, not in any police database, not anywhere. that is, until jaclyn knocked on o

and that's what we saw with chris murphy. of different jasmine crockett and maxwell frost. we're seeing these politicians out there not being afraid, not worrying. you know, this is it, right? i mean, what chris was describing is, is really scary, right? there's a real law. there's a chance for really scary, scary lawlessness that we have not seen in modern politics. and, and democrats have an opportunity to at least slow it and maybe stop it. and we need to take those. >> opportunities and use all the tools. i mean, democrats seem to have a lot more tools when they're in the minority than you ever see democrats utilize. >> right. and we were talking about this in the break. tommy tuberville was able to gum up the works very successfully. and i think democrats should be doing the same. >> molly jong-fast, thank you >> molly jong-fast, thank you for(man 1)ng the hour with we're standing up for our right to be lazy.

that was democrat senator chris murphy trying to blame people like elon musk. musk had nothing to do with pushing out the faa a director, plus he has no authority to do that. let's welcome fox news contributor miranda devine. what's with all these falsehoodsesome that aviation advisory committee makes recommendations to the tsa that, not faa a like chris murphy was trying to say. >> that was just the most depick, catalog of lies -- despicable catalog of lies from chris murphy. he knows perfectly well that donald trump had been in office for nine days, that elon musk doesn't force anyone if out, that the faa director add resigned on inauguration day and that his deputy took over seamlessly who with donald trump has just named as the leader now. so all of that is untrue. dei policies don't just have an impact overnight. the has been a decade of decay and disaster in every aspect of our government and, in fact, probably every part of the country. and in the most critical places whether it be in the military or in the faa, the problem now is manifested in this cras

chris murphy had a problem with ratcliffe even though he had overwhelming support even total.n you had chuck schumer come out and said we are going to fight nominees who we think have a problem, give additional scrutiny but they are not getting additional scrutiny. mentioned reading poems, wasting time. who is happy about this? they give up their weekends, eventually they get confirmed. america is weaker because of it. >> aishah: brian, it's an interesting question because, you know, a lot of folks were wondering why chris murphy kind of stopped the ball on this with john ratcliffe when he had so much bipartisan support out of committee. his own leagues liked him like kirsten gillibrand. there were sources within the g.o.p. conference that were telling me they believed they had a time agreement with chuck schumer. they were under the impression that there was an agreement with chuck schumer, so, there was a sense that, perhaps, chris murphy was free-lancing a little bit here he went out on his own. when i did have a chance to ask schumer about this, he sort of, you know, dug i

senator chris murphy of connecticut objected to a time agreement for cia director nominee john ratcliffeittee in a bipartisan manner and basically forcing republicans to abide by the 30-hour debate rule. once you do that what happens it's a domino effect. you tie up the senate floor time for any other nominee, too. intel chair tom cotton steamed on the senate floor. >> i don't really understand the ob object to -- how we'll -- john ratcliffe has integrity. >> democrats are attacking pete hegseth once again after his former sister-in-law submitted new allegations yesterday of alcohol abuse and claims that he made his second ex-wife fear for her safety. both hegseth and the ex-wife have denied those claims. president trump in that oval office meeting yesterday with senate leadership did bring up recess appointments. it doesn't seem like we're there just yet. but again, this is drip, drip, drip now. the third day in an only one nominee confirmed. >> dana: i bet they'll be working all weekend. >> i was with the president at the white house for three hours today with leader thune and other le

so they were a little confused as to what was happening with chris murphy.i asked chuck schumer about it today, i said did you know about it, do you support it, that he's doing this even with the bipartisan nominees that you guys support and he said he does support it. he said this is what they're going to do with every single nominee that does not have unanimous support. so we're going to be here a very long time. it's going to be a very slow process in the san national, john. >> .-- in the senate. >> john: in the meantime, the president doesn't have his national security team in place. appreciate it. sandra. >> sandra: a judge consula judge callingpresident t citizenship executive order unconstitutional and is blocking it. when i got diagnosed with skin cancer, it was right under my eye. i was told that surgery was the only option, and i did not want to get cut open on my face. i asked my women's group to pray for me, and one of the other ladies told me about the procedure that her friend had and it was gentlecure. if you, like millions of others, are affe

delay in the request for the 30-hour -- or the innovation of the 30-hour rule came from senator chris murphye nomination which came out of committee with bipartisan support. ratcliffe was a member of congress. here is what the senate majority leader john thune said about the delay, listen here. >> he said senators need time for a full real debate. but a handful of democrats want to play politics with this nominee. >> john: you know, most -- with the exception of maybe hegseth if he loses two more republicans, might not make it across the finish line, but it absolutely looks like the rest of them will. so why delay? >> well, that's the point. this is not about good governance. this is about opposing donald trump. this is about democrats being able to go home and said i did everything in my power used the rules of the senate to slow it down and s stop it and then haid as heros from the far left. our nation is too busy. presidents deserve to have their people in place. if you oppose the policies, that's fine, oppose the policies. but allow the president to fill out his team. that's the traditio

in texas, with the wake of donald trump's tweets about immigration that started some of that, chris murphy, the democrat from connecticut on x yesterday pushing back against donald trump, mentioning illegal immigration, chris murphy said trump intentionally lying about the attack for -- on being an immigrant. he wasn't and why does it matter? is it it matters because people use it to justify his crackdown on immigrants and attack on dissents and whether the fax line up or not, saying this is just the start, senator from connecticut responding to donald trump. this is doc next. caller: it would be good if president trump does -- when he does take over these people -- host: door these people? caller: people coming over here killing our people. they do not see what happened in new orleans? i live 80 miles from there. host: and the point the senator was making, this was a u.s. to, not an immigrant. caller: well, was his family from the middle east? host: i don't know about his family, but the fbi said he was a u.s. citizen from houston, texas. caller: he is a -- hello? host: i'm listening. so

. >> with us now is senator chris murphy, a democrat from connecticut.e sits on both the senate foreign relations committee and the appropriations committee. senator, i think you might have been in a hearing when that press conference was going on. but i am curious, what was your reaction when you first learned that was how president trump chose to respond to this national tragedy? >> listen, it was disgusting. disgusting because, you know, diversity is the polite, the polite way to talk about his complaint. what he is saying is that the only people who are competent to run anything in this country are white men. that's what he's saying. he's saying that because the faa has hired women and black people, that our nation's safety is at risk. it's kind of incredible that a president of the united states can say that. but let's examine why he's saying it. why did he come out so quickly to try to attack women and black people for ruining the faa? he did that because he is very vulnerable. he has some big questions to answer because the faa has been in chaos i

then there was a moment on the floor where senator chris murphy basically said that he has concerns about in trump's first administration. he made available information that they had pertaining to russia that was known as misinformation, and they made that information available to republicans. anyway, on the hill, that is what murphy is referring to. take a listen to a little bit of what he said, and we'll talk about it on the other side. >> i hear republicans. >> claiming that my decision to ask for one day of debate on a controversial nominee to. >> lead the cia. >> somehow compromises our national security. so let me say this. spare me. >> two days. >> ago, president donald trump pardoned 1500 rioters. >> in a world in which republicans hold the majority in the house, but also, critically, the senate, this is really all democrats can do is slow down this process. we see it happen on every side of the aisle, no matter who is in power. this isn't anything new. john thune's point, the senate majority leader, right after chris murphy decided to slow walk this process was that, look, we hav

we just had senator chris murphy on. he was just speaking with my colleague john berman, and the senator raised a concern about the investigation going forward. let me play this for you. >> all of our agencies and the organizations like the ntsb that sit underneath them, are really in jeopardy of becoming political tools of the president instead of independent arbiters of safety in this country. >> can you respond to that concern? todd, can you assure the investigation will be protected from any outside influence, no matter how high up in the government it comes from? >> yes, absolutely. the ntsb was founded on being a bipartisan board with different individuals. we have a lot of different people from different aspects and walks of life. so the board makes sure that we maintain that. that's the one reason why we are the gold standard across the country. there's a lot of people that have speculation and want to be heard in that regard. we understand that, but our job is to find ultimately what caused this and prevent it i

chris murphy out of connecticut has been great, but there is no cohesive message.is what the democratic national committee needs to be. we have golden threads, but we need to build the loom. that is what i would do as chair, i would curate these extraordinary voices we have to create a communications system so that every day we know what are the best things being said by democratic leaders throughout the country, make sure these things are pushed out to candidates, on media. what has happened has only increased the sense that the democrats don't know what they are doing. i feel that will end next week. we will hit the ground running. we will have a new playbook, and we will make sure this point forward. for me it has to do with a dnc policy institute. we will have the best thinkers. we need a new paradigm of the way the dnc itself talks to the caucuses, talks to the councils. we have extraordinary talent in the dnc in the membership, but people are not asked their opinions. their expertise is not used, their skills are not exploited. if i am chair of the dnc, all t

. >> laura: fluoride he believes will eventually disappear, but democratic senator chris murphy not happypast? wants to ban pharmaceutical advertising, he also wants to kill our kids by withdrawing vaccines and taking fluoride out of our drinking water. >> laura: it very interesting, now there is a new headline, new study out, children exposed to higher fluoride level have lower iqs, a government study finds. i believe one of the other cables was going deep into this earlier today, it caught my attention. vaccines, fluoride, if robert f. kennedy says it, the left goes crazy. joining to me now, host of ask dr. drew on a rumble which is fantastic. what is going on here? rfk jr. is now according to the democrats brutalizing our children by "withdrawing vaccines "? is that what he is a doing? >> it is not what he's doing, imagine people lying in a depressed, who would have thought that could happen? indeed it is happening, i know bobby kennedy, i am persuaded, he is not a liar and he has only good intentions. if you can get mad at somebody for trying to make people healthier and happier, you

he won the popular vote, electoral vote, house and senate chris murphy, a guy on twitter just losingt like a teenage girl cut from the cheerleading squad. they remind me of a guy that gets his [bleep] kit and that breaks everybody. if biden was here tomorrow he would get frostbite from the liquid in the hyper. [laughter] >> that would not be comfortable >> tell me about it. you got a chance to be out and about last night. a chance of incredible optimism. 6:05 a.m. this morning in line at starbucks people were very happy. >> dana, i was here eight years ago when he won the first time. there were the million person march, remember the in cats, people were angry, people were fighting. i am in the same hotel i was an eight years ago. what a difference. everyone is happy, optimistic, everyone is saying hello. i think that everything about this is about america feeling young again. feeling renewed again. last night at the fireworks i went to, they were incredible. it was kind of like a rebirth to me. i think that, you know, you and chris singing this incredible opera tenor and his voice ex

you have chris murphy and dyck durbin who are spreading lies all over the internet trying to say the they knew who they are and are doing nothing but obstructing the american people's view. >> martha: so i've heard president trump mentioned the possibility of recess appointments and i guess there are two ways to do this my guess is if leaders spin say is we're working for the weekend and he does it this weekend and be be the following weekend i would guess if the dam breaks with senators like to go home on the weekends you think that's the case and do you think we will see recess appointments if it's not? >> i do believe that's going to be the case. right now we are scheduled to vote to 30 sunday morning. the reason why it's 2:30 is because the clock restarts so we have 30 hours everyone has 30 hours to debate and we want to keep the clock moving civic and get through these people. if the democrats keep it moving forward and we possibly have two go to reassess the problem as it will be ten days and if we do put them in recess, they cannot get paid under temporary until the next congr

. >> laura: fluoride hde he belies will eventually disappear appear to democrat senator chris murphyre we giving rfk jr. a pass. cage he wants ban pharmaceuticala, that is nice. he wants to which all kids fromw vaccines and take fluoride out of the drinking water. >> laura: very interesting.y there is a new headline and a new study out children exposed to higher fluoride level have lower iqs. a government study finds. i believe one of the other cables going deep into this earlier today and it caught my m attention. began, the vaccines, fluoride,,f robert f. kennedy says it, the saysleft goes crazy. joining me dr. drew pinksy, dr. drew on rumble, which is fantastic. dr. drew, what is going on here? rfk jr. is now according to the democrats brutalizing our children by "withdrawing vaccines." is that what he is doing quite make. >> that is notis what he is doi, mentioned that. t heimagine people lying in the press. who would have thought that could happen but indeed that ish what is happening.ow i know bobby kennedy and i spent a good deal of time with him. i am persuaded he is not a li

but chris murphy who said oh the inauguration was brought inside because donald trump knew he couldn'together. well, you have been around the streets, right? >> right. >> laura: he would have had at least a half a million people here. is he basically up in arms about the tech bros being in d.c. >> this is the unraveling of our democracy because what is happening before our eyes literally on that staining today is that the billionaires who control huge parts of this economy are trading favors with donald trump behind closed doors often where none of us can see it. >> laura: behind closed doors. he is giving them freebies. do you think that's really what he is doing. or is he telling them all right, guys. you are richer and you are still going to be rich. but it's time to bring the bacon home. >> yeah, no. i think what president trump is doing is he recognizes that if the guys who have the money are part of growing an economy, everybody benefits. and there is that democrat again talking from the talking points. >> laura: so old. >> they haven't learned their lesson. the american people a

senator chris murphy invoked it for john ratcliffe and it is strange because he got a bipartisan votecommittee. ratcliffe was supposed to get his confirmation vote yesterday. it will happen today instead. if democrats continue with this delay tactic for each and every single nominee, well, sit back and get comfortable. this will take a while. the senate floor is like a one-track train station. the next train cannot arrive in f the first one hasn't left. pete hegseth wouldn't get a vote until late friday night. kristi noem sometime sunday. president trump could try to trigger the recess appointments but it comes with a cost. number one, it will blow up the senate's longstanding advise and consent process. nobody wants to see that. recess appointments are temporary. senators are just not about it. >> the problem is the recess we have to be recessed for ten days and if we do put them into recess, they cannot get paid and they are only temporary until the next congress starts. not ideal but a possibility. >> one more quick thing on the hegseth nomination. when the vote happens keep your e

have democratic support, bipartisan support there are some like john ratcliffe do you support chris murphy slowing this confirmation process down a? do you think that will happen with other bipartisan a? >> i have some doubts about mr. radcliffe is so for a day or two or a few hours to examine these nominees to have such power thoroughly? absolutely. >> at this point in the headline is that pete hegseth it looks like we'll sail to confirmation and tea will not need vice president j.d. vance to come here in the senate to break a tie. looks like you will get those 51 republicans on his own. >> will: that is very good news. if i might, quickly for senator collins and senator michalski. i read the statement put out it appears to me that she has accepted anonymous obligations, unverified reports, personally and ominously about pete hegseth that have been magnified by a corrupted media. she has taken that over the direct testimony of somebody like me who i sat next to pete hegseth for five years. she wrote, by the way, in her statement that above all she values character. what i would suggest is

so things got very, very tense on the senate floor last night when connecticut democrat senator chris murphyd to a time agreement on the ciman director nominee john radcliff, and that essentially forced republicans to abide by the 30-hour debate rule. what that means is, it ties up floor time for any other nominee. they can't do anything right now. it like a train station with one track. the other trains can't come in if the first train hasn't left the station yet. gop leader john thune was fuming at democrats. >> do we want to vote on these folks on tuesday or vote on them on friday, saturday, and sunday? because that's what we're going to do. this can be easy or this can be hard. >> now president trump has asked john thune and speaker mike johnson about recess appointments at the oval office when they all met yesterday. trump can circumvent the house and senate and call for congress to recess after a 10-day break that would give him the ability to appoint all of his nominees at once. however, sandra, that mechanism would basically torpedo the senate's advice and consent rule and some senat
