mr. murphy: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from connecticut. mr. murphy: i appreciate the good-faith objection from my friend from mississippi, but the good news that i can convey to her is that my republican senate friends who want to have some impact into the consideration of the future of american gun laws have ample opportunity to do that because you're in the majority. senate republicans control the judiciary committee. senator mcconnell can decide to bring any measure to the floor. and so if the concern is there hasn't been enough republican input into the question of whether criminals or terrorists or people who are seriously mentally ill have access to guns, have a committee hearing, don't just stay silent. it doesn't pass the straight-face test to come down here to say, we can't take up h.r. 8 because we haven't had input on it. you're in the majority. you have the ability to pass legislation that you support, that democrats can support as well. and the idea that we are just going to sit here and twiddle our thumbs week after week as 100 pe

mr. murphy. >> good afternoon gentlemen. i want to bring up a couple points raised by you my colleagues on the other side. the july 25 call summary shows no evidence of pressure on the ukrainian government. in fact they argue the ukraine yuntz did not feel any -- ukrainians did not feel any pressure at any time to comply with any of president trump's requests for investigations. in fact, ambassador taylor at your deposition in october, you stayed that die to the -- stated that due to the hold that president trump placed on aid to the ukraine, the ukrainians became quote/unquote desperate. isn't that right? >> in august, they did not know as far as i'm aware but at thend of august, the article came out in september. the minister of defense, for example, came to me. i would use the word desperate to figure out why the assistance was being held. he thought that perhaps if he went to washington to talk to you, to talk to the secretary of defense to talk to the president, he would be able to find out and reassure, provide whateve

mr. murphy: thank you, mr. president. i'm here to speak for a few minutes on the topic of health care. while my friend from alaska is on the floor, listen, i hope that we can bridge the policy disagreements that we have right now over the defense appropriations bill, the appropriations process and the authorization bill. but i've been in congress long enough to have heard this argument be trotted out over and over again, that if you vote against a defense bill that you aren't supporting the troops, even if you have a legitimate policy disagreement that you're trying to work out. i just heard that enough to know that, you know, it doesn't match up with reality. i was told that because i opposed the iraq war that i didn't support the troops. people in the 1970's were told if they didn't support the vietnam war they were opposing the troops. the fact of the matter is we have a legitimate policy disagreement that we're trying to figure out. democrats don't think that we should be taking money from defense construction projects that are housing and protecting our troops to be used to build

mr. murphy. >> good afternoon, ambassador.oing to pick up on that september 9th conversation, which the president allegedly said i want nothing. i don't want a quid pro quo. i presume that on the september 9th conversation the president did not mention that that was the same day that we launched a congressional investigation into whether there was a quid pro quo. did he say that to you? >> i know it all of that today but we didn't have time to talk about that. >> a and i presume didn't mention the whistle-blower complaint that also alleged a quid pro quo that day? >> he did not. >> you can't rule out the possibility the reason he started talking that way on that day is because. congressional investigation? >> i can't rule that out. >> you know, the inauguration of president zelensky was on may 20th. correct? >> correct. >> as you stated you attended this inauguration with senator johnston, secretary perry, lieutenant colonel vn indman an others. correct? >> correct. >> and vice president pence was supposed to originally attend

murphy. thank you mr. chairman and i appreciate your expertise. first question is for the her watkins. i was looking through some of the copies that you have with medical records and having experienced at the explosion of electronic medical records in the last 25 years i see the challenges are it. if you could wave a magic wand there is a way to pull data. most of which don't talk to one another and unless we have a single system i'm not sure what this would look like a so i'm interested in your thoughts of the reality and purposes altogether are a great one but do devil is in the details. what does that look like? >> thank you for that question. i would also refer you to this report that has been done and we can get you to a copy of that. what we are talking about is modernizing systems we already have. so the laboratory system and its ability to rapidly transmit data between us and the provider and the cdc and handle those genetic results needs to be modernized and made more interoperable. death and birth certificate registries need to be more rapid. we shouldn't be having paper reco

mr. perez: i am focused in 2020 of taking the remaining house seats in new jersey. we have all but one. with bill murphy were here he would say i want all of the house seats. and that is what we will do. the remarkable candidates, whether it is andy kim or mikey cheryl and others, again, one of the big lessons i learned from this 2017, 2018, and 2019 cycle is that candidate quality matters. we continue to field spectacular candidates and they continue to field candidates like matt bevin. >> i've known you have your hands full, but i wonder how you are watching the u.k. general election, where you have a very left-wing candidate hoping to become prime minister in five weeks time. do you think there can be lessons learned? i wonder mr. perez: i will let the voters in the u.k. speak to what is going to happen there. in a quicksand of gridlock's since brexit past and a few days after brexit, boris johnson acknowledged that a lot of the promises he said about brexit weren't accurate. that is the challenge they confront. i'm confident about our candidates because i think it is really important to analyze what

mr. stone indicated that he wanted to reach out to jared kushner and political director jim murphy to debriefouncement. question, on july -- were there any brainstorming sessions done at that point? >> answer, oh, yeah. prior to that point there were brainstorming sessions on the idea of if the information was leaked what would the campaigns say and respond. and once wikileaks did release the hacked material, question, what was the campaign's action towards the release? >> answer, the fact the information had come out, the campaign was in a state of happiness. when the trump campaign heard that specifically the russian government had hacked the democratic party, they thought that was great for them. they thought they could definitely use that to their advantage. they then held brainstorming sessions about how they'd plan to use this stuff that had been hacked and stolen by the russian government. and when the material hacked by the russian government was indeed actually released, which they say they had months of warning about, the campaign was what's the phrase, in a state of happiness. publ

murphy and once again there was no linkage of security assistance dollars. three meetings with the president of ukraine and no linkage. that's accurate? >> mr. jordan, it's certainly accurate on the first two, first two meetings, because to my knowledge the ukrainians were not aware of the hold on assistance until the 29th of august. >> from the politico article. >> the politico article. the third meeting that you mexi mentioned with senators murphy and senator johnson, there was discussion of the security assistance. >> no linkage? >> there was not discussion of linkage. >> three meetings face to face with president zelensky, no linkage. yet in your deposition you said this and you said it again the first hour of the majority. my clear understanding was security assistance money would not come until president zelensky committed to pursue the investigation. my clear understanding was they weren't going to get the money until president zelensky dm committed to pursue the investigations. with all due respect, your clear understanding was obviously wrong, because it didn't happen. president zelensky didn't announce he was going to investigate b

mr. president, [indiscernible] to invite people from both sides of the issue to the cabinet room to have this conversation. pres. trump: thank you, kellyanne. >> i am senator mitt romney. myself and it's murphy offered legislation that is very murphyent -- senator offered legislation that is very consistent. to ban flavors, so we do not have kids getting hooked on nicotine products. we also insist cartridges are tamperproof so kids cannot add contaminants to the cartridges, that is consistent with your point of view. pres. trump: thank you. this is a very big subject. a very complex subject. probably a little bit less complex than some people think. but i am here to listen and i have a very urgent views. who would like to start? give a background on where we are and what we are doing. >> thank you, mr. president, for your work and leadership on this issue. to demonstrate your deep commitment to americans' health and in particular the health and well being of our youth. while e-cigarettes can be an offramp to adults, we can all agree we cannot allow them to become an on-ramp to nicotine addiction and combustible tobacco by our kids. as the president said, we are here to listen. it is highly c

mr. trump held in kentucky last night, trumpeting the stock market, as you heard. joining us, market watcher mike murphy. look, we are going to open at record highs again this morning. i comfortably predict. are we off to the races? >> i think we are. there's a lot of cash on the sideline, a lot of people who have doubted this rally we have seen this year. i think in the next two months you will see more money. we talked about as long as earnings could support us, the market should continue to make new highs. the earnings season so far has been good enough to support new highs, new money will come into the market. stuart: new money will come into the market. >> yes. stuart: i don't suppose you want to make a prediction, do you? we were at 27,500 roughly on the dow. are we going to get 28,000, 29? >> we will get above that. i think 28,000 is a nice round number. or could it do better if we get a hard china deal, could it do better? if we get some more positive news on the earnings front, could it do better? i think it could. but safe to say we're not, you know, we talked all year about we are about to fa

mr. giuliani. >> that was ambassador bill taylor yesterday during the impeachment hearing recalling a meeting with senator chris murphyvisit to ukraine. and center murphy joins us now. he's a member of the senate foreign relations committee. also with us, former u.s. senator now an nbc news and msnbc political analyst claire mccaskill. nbc news white house correspondent kristen welker joins us and nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel. great group here. joe, take it away to the senator. >> yeah, senator, before we jump into the testimony from yesterday, ukraine, the kurds, turkey, all of those other things, let's talk about a landmark decision from two days ago that i saw you speak on. and that was the supreme court's decision to allow sandy hook parents to actually continue their lawsuit against the gun maker who made the ar-15 that the sandy hook murder spree was fueled by. let's talk about how important that is on two different grounds. first of all, the first ground, just that it allows these parents to seek justice and to not be -- not be stopped by some arbitrary shield law that wouldn't protect aut

mr. morrison relaid to me that the inability of any u.s. officials to respond to the ukrainian's explicit questions was troubling him. on september 5th, i accompanied senators johnson and murphy during their visit to kiev. when we met with president zelensky his first question to the senators was about the withheld security assistance. my recollection of the meeting is that both senators stressed that bipartisan support for ukraine in washington was ukraine's most important strategic asset. and that president zelensky should not jeopardize that bipartisan support by getting drawn in by u.s. domestic politics. i had been making and continue to make this point to all of my official ukrainian contacts. but the odd push to make president zelensky publicly to commit to investigations of burisma showed how the official foreign policy of the united states was undercut by the irregular efforts led by mr. giuliani. two days later, september 7th, i had a conversation with mr. morrison, he described a phone conversation between ambassador sondland and president trump earlier that day. . mr. morrison said he had a sink feeling after learning about this conversation from ambassador sondla

senators johnson and murphy and again, no linkage of the dollars to burisma or the bidens and three meetings with the president of ukraine and no linkage, and is that accurate? >> mr. jordan, certainly accurate on the first two meetings, because to my knowledge, the ukrainians were not aware of the hold on assistance until, until the 29th of august. >> because of the politico article. >> the politico article. >> and the third meeting that you mentioned was the senators murray and johnson, and there was a discussion of the security assistance, but -- >> no linkage. >> there was not discussion of linkage. >> and so three meetings and face-to-face with the president zelensky and no linkage, and yet in your deposition you said this, and you said it again in the first hour of the majority, my clear understanding was that security assistance would not come until president zelensky committed to pursue the investigation. my clear understanding was that they were not going to get the money until president zelensky committed to pursue the investigations. now, with all due respect, ambassador, your clear understanding was obviously wrong, because it didn't happen. president
