mr. murphy. accuracy is an overarching matter of importance to it like to ask you questions about bb is quality control component, star. vba star program has several classifications such as benefit an entire that decision, documentation/notification and administrative. however, the national rating agency is based solely on benefit and the top of the air. my understanding is that star does not count errors for instance, with potential to affect veterans benefits such as when a claims folder lacked required evidence, including a medical examination or opinion need to make an accurate decision. can you comment on any of that? >> i would say that that is not an accurate statement. the absence of an examination when one was made would be called a benefit entitlement air force. so we do have the classifications of errors that you just describe which is a benefit and comment error but part of that is that if there's something that should've been gained, evidence that should've been included in the file

mr. murphy. >> i need at the. >> yes you do. >> we're here in the first day of august. with that seeing return of unsettled weather. beginning active pattern starting today which means rain chances are increasing. we have a few great days this week including yesterday. what a gorgeous evening it was. right now clouds moving in from the south along with hutsty as the warm front lifts through the area. showers are south of delmarva now. rain speeding through virginia and north carolina. although it's in mainly western caroline and and western south carolina. there's moisture offshore you can see the. that is into the atlantic. this will combine into i system that will make it a pretty wet weekend for us sadly. right now, though, not wet outside, 72. warmer, uptic in humidity when you step outdoors. temperatures mid 60s form and west. warmer, special a south and east of philly. it's a noticeable temperature change showing 10 to 15 degree difference atlantic city and millville. , 86 was the high temperature thursday in philly. 87 is normal. we'll probably be cooler today. t

mr. murphy. no reply. we asked many of the democrats to come on the show and represent that point of view. they would not come on the show. but i want to emphasize here, the executioner of james foley, the murderer of james foley, he had a british accent. it appears that other of these murderers were born, raised, educated and culturalized in britain. that didn't stop them from becoming brutal murderers. i want to point that out. >> and if it was a british person who wanted to come here who is part of isis, they wouldn't even have to cross the border. they have a passport, they don't need a visa to come over here, so the idea we need to provide amnesty is not clear. this shouldn't be a republican or a democratic issue. it's not partisan. this is a national security. we do not want isis in america. >> let me ask you if you dismiss this argument. i'm going to go back to what pat murphy said. to be precise, he said, we need to treat them like they're our children and our grandchildren, referring to the youngs

mr. chairman. >> senator murphy. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman.thank you for generosity and allowing me to sit as part of this panel today. with a string of these grandparent scam''s in connecticut on our shoreline which is the reason i have some interest in this issue over the past several months. and i just want to ask one simple question knowing we are short on time and it is probably for mr. campbell and his greisman. that's about this issue that you get information from local enforcement. there's been some information compiled by this committee that suggests to local law enforcement often doesn't know where to report these scams when they get word of it and that are often are not reporting into the database, 9 million is a stunning number but imagine what the outcome of is if local law enforcement were sending all the information. given the fact you are only prosecuting where you see volume, given your limited resources, it seems like an imperative to make sure that local law enforcement is communicating up a change for these databases and th

murphy. >> mr. chief justice, and may it please the court, aggregate contribution limits as an impermissible attempt to it limit the individual's participation. they prohibit contributions that are within the base on which congress has already imposed to combat the reality or appearance of corruption is simply preventing individuals from engaging in too much first amendment activity. these cannot be justified. they are addressed. a multitude of more direct anti circumvention measures. because they imposed numerous measures. we have coordination restrictions on expenditures with the candidate. proliferation restrictions on creating multiple packs that are all designed. >> all these except for one where they're at the time of buckley versus valeo. i get that the court thought something could happen like the following. candid it's smith, you can only give him $2,600. he has a lot of supporters. and they have each didn't -- got some. and each puts on the internet. it says sam smith. this money goes to p

murphy, your three minutes remaining. >> thank you, mr. chief justice. first, we have heard the solicitor general talk about circumvention and that is because the circumvention argument just doesn't work. it's already addressed by all the multiple prophylactic measures contained in to the extent of the sufficient, there is much narrowly tailored ways to get at the chief justice pointed out. so what we are hearing today once you accept the corruption theory that the government is putting forward here there is no way to continue to draw mine between independent expenditures of the $3 million track to all these different individuals in small base limited amounts. they're certainly going to be just as much gratitude to the individual who spent $3.6 million directly supported one candidate on that candidate's behalf. but we have forced the money out of the most transparent way possible to make contributions which is directly to the candidate and the parties. if there is no further questions, thank you. >> thank you, counsel. the ca

murphy, your three minutes. >> thank you, mr. chief justice. just a few points. first, we haven't heard the solicitor general talk much about circumvention today and i think it's because circumvention arguments just doesn't really work tickets already addressed by all of the multiple actions and to extend those aren't sufficient there are much narrowly carried ways to get at the question from justice scalia on the chief justice point. what we are really and today is the corruption argument that asked the question revealed once you accept the corruption theory that the government is putting forward here, there really isn't a way to continue to draw a line between independent expenditures and the $3 million check to all individuals. because there is only going to be just as much gratitude, the individual spends $3.6 million directly supporting one candidate. what really have is a system is forcing my out of the most transparent way that is couple to make contributions which is directly to the candidates and the parties in the pacs. there's no further questions. tha

murphy, former u.s. ambassador to syria. >> thank you. >> bashar al assad, syria's president you know him. mr. obama said he won't sit down and negotiate with assad because assad is brutal himself, accused of using chemical weapons on his own people but just because the president won't do business with him does that mean the united states can't do business with him in another way? >> i think there's a way to try to work on the problem in syria without working directly with president bashar. he is the president of the country. he managed to get elected by a massive margin, just last spring for his third term, but the brutality that he has carried out and he has authorized against his own people has been enormous, and i don't see that there's any way we can have any open cooperation with them without losing the support of those that we will need to do the direct confrontations with isis. >> so i just spoke to a congresswoman who said the united states should reach out to other countries to help combat isis. which other countries should the united states be talking to? >> i think the main people
