but others are against including william tong, e connecticut attorn general.due pharma's headquarte are in his state. attorney general tong, thank you for beinwith us tonight. let's just begin with the big question-- why are you opp osed to this tentative settlement? >> well, thank you for having me here tonight, amna. i'm opposedecause the scale and the depth of thest ction, the pain, the death that has been caused by purdue and the sacklers far exceeds this purported deal and proposed deal. and t's just be clear-- no one, to my knowledge, has offered $12 bilntlion guad in cash or $1rbillion, for that matter.the base of this is a $3n guarantee from the sacklers, and beyond that, we don't know any more. and that just doesn't cut it. the sacklers have a reaunl oppoy here andoppurdue has an opportunity make this right and to begin to meet their obligation to fund vital investments in addiction science, treatment, and prevention. because they-- they started thii on it, and instead of trying to help put it out in all of the states, they're choosing to start it bur

but it transformed connecticut. and what we did in connecticut was to adopt commonsense measure, comprehensive steps to stop gun violence. but the lesson of connecticut is not only that those steps have reduced gun violence including homicide but also that states with the strongest laws are still on the the in ersy of the one -- mercy of the ones with the weakest because guns have no respect for state boundaries. they cross state lines and they do damage and death in states like connecticut with strong guns through the iron pipeline that comes from other states to our south. since that day at sandy hook, there have been 2,218 mass shootings in the united states and over 2,000 times parents have sat as did those parents at sandy hook, have waited to know whether their children were okay. children would left in the morning with no inkling about the violence that was to unfold. there is no reason that people have to live this way in the united states of america. america has no greater proportion of mental health issues

connecticut of course is a big home for hedge funds >> and what is interesting about that observationere are certain jurisdictions town-wise in connecticut that do not allow you to put up a for sale sign. including the town that i live in so you have to go through a -- you have to look it up it is a way for them to say you don't see for sale signs everywhere because you are not allowed to have them up. so probably understating even how many houses are for sale >> and you have to applaud florida and rick scott and everybody else who set it up you can't just take it for granted that people are leaving new york no, this was a tactical move, it has taken a decade to play out and it is catching momentum. and they put up a sign that says congratulations with a high school graduation and next to it is the for sale sign when you ask where they are going, they are going south. >> they are going to disney world. >> why is it always florida though they never move to texas >> south carolina, yeah. >> it is always florida. >> well, it is about taxes it is the free market. it is the smart money mak

people are leaving those high tax red states and there's a solution, why don't connecticut cut theirmple stuff, look at places like new hampshire, texas, florida and the real estate markets are doing fine. you look at newark city, you have 4% in new york city in addition to the state and federal. so people all in in many places paint extremely high rates and they say enough. carl icahn moving to florida. not just because of the weather. he does not have to pay any income tax. a lot of these states were smart, a lot of the municipalities are smart, they get the financial houses in order and they charge less tax. >> too that point, about the deduction, in 2016 averages $26000 in new york. we have to talk about new york because were in the area, that's a huge difference which is why you're seeing the big flock. there is still an ongoing case. yet the judge that ruled the 2018 case and there's another one created by newark, new jersey and maryland, maybe they will get momentum with that. if you like the judge does not think it's going against -- >> what possible case do they have? there

this is a connecticut law.ptive way, and that's a sense of what happened. the court found a loophole in the fact that they felt like the argument could be made or the allegations were being made that remington had, in fact, marketed a military-type weapon to civilians. and that shouldn't be, shouldn't be allowed. remember the tobacco mitigation, whether or not tobacco was being -- children how it was being marketed, it was being marketed in a way that was deceptive. it'll be an interesting case. the court's obviously tilted right now toward the republican side, and they may have the ear of, in fact, the supreme court. i mean, elle tell you one way we can fix in the. you ever just notice that the people who are championing the second amendment like these folks who are on capitol hill or who are in these state capitols around the country, their offices are located behind metal detectors. apparently your second amendment rights stop anytime you get close to them. and that's a problem. this ought to be a non-issue

hayes from connecticut. >> thank you, mr. chairman, for holding this hearing, and thank you, undersecretary, for being here. so, i represent connecticut and my questions are specifically about our dairy farmers. we have about 80,000 working acres of dairy farms which account for about 4,000 jobs, so much smaller than some of the other districts that we've heard about but i think that's the cause for so much of the concern in my community. in 2018 in connecticut we had about -- actually we had about 110 licensed dairy farmers, and as of monday when my staff checked, only 66 of those farms had applied for the dairy margin coverage. so for a program that's guaranteed to provide, you know, protection and supports in those margins, why do you think enrollment's not higher? >> i don't know in those cases. certainly outreach has been tried in some cases. i don't know how connecticut specifically compares to what its signup was for mpp a year ago and whether there are some producers that choose not to participate. there are certainly

in the connecticut alone the annual toll is billions of dollars.lost a thousand souls. >> i wonder if purdue is getting too much blame here, there were 100,000 deaths. will 29 billion pills were produced by specgx and actavis pharma and par, what about these companies? >> i think everyone is engaged and we're going to hold them accountable but to suggest that purdue son some percentage basis is not accountable i think is wrong. shgt fa the fact is that purdue and its leadership including members of the sackler family, richard sackler, they engaged in a program of disinformation. they deceived the public about the true risks of too many opioids in the marketplace. they blamed victims. they pushed theories like pseudo science which suggests if only the victims had access to more opioids that they wouldn't be addicted. it's that kind of misconduct. it's that deceitful conduct to try to sell more opioids and to profit off of people's misery that we're trying to hold them accountable for. >> will we see lawsuits against those other companies? >> yes. >>

the mosquito-born disease is now being linked to new deaths in massachusetts and connecticut, bringing the total number of fatalities to nine nbc's kathy park has been following the story. good morning >> reporter: phillip, good morning. triple e is pretty rare but the number has spiked into the triple digits. 78 james longwell of massachusetts was killed and patricia shaw of connecticut >> we're here to pray for the family it not easy with a sudden loss >> reporter: dozens of cases of triple e have been reported in six states and nine people have died from the disease, the threat triggering aerial spraying and cancelling outdoor events at night in several communities. >> there is no vaccination to prevent triple e this is one of the deadliest moss kqui mosquito-born infections >> chris died within a week of being diagnosed. >> within nine days he went from perfectly healthy to brain dead. >> reporter: less than 6 people contract it. symptoms are similar to the flu or worse >> if they have that infection of the brain known as encephalitis, they may act confused, have a seizure or be un

connecticut was the first to have them. not only to prevent the mass shootings but also suicides. >> most gun deaths are not mass shootings. most are suicides. >> 60% are suicides, and a lot of them are also domestic violence cases. women are five times as likely to die from domestic violence as from guns. >> the trick is many of these cases both domestic violence and suicides, some might have had a clue and this system, these red flag laws are in place in 16, 17 states now and they don't compromise anyone's second amendment rights to own a gun. >> that's a really important point. there's due process. police can seek a warrant much like they do now with an arrest warrant or search warrant with a judicial officer, and then there's the opportunity for anyone whose gun is taken away to seek a hearing and regain the gun if the facts warnt it, but if there is due process. and one other point is really important. keeping guns away from dangerous people involve police officers learning as they did in parkland that someone is going

guest: the effort was organized by chris murphy from connecticut who many people might recognize as a strong voice on the gun control issue, especially since hook,12 shooting in sandy which was in his home state that spurred his interest in the issue. he put together the list of people who spoke last night and -- patonse, basically -- and rightso now, senators are in a waiting game. mitch mcconnell has said he would not put anything on the floor that the president has not .aid he would sign that means right now everyone is waiting and as part of waiting, these democrats last night decided they needed to raise the issue on a louder scale and speak about the impact of gun violence on their communities, fears their communities are experiencing and also proposing solutions. they were talking about potential legislative fixes. host: what do the democratic senators, which piece of legislation do they want majority leader mcconnell to bring to the floor? differentre are a few variations. senate minority leader chuck schumer spoke with trump over the weekend along with nancy pelosi and urged
