and lawrence senior fellow from american progress, and carol murphy, independent journalist and author o. the significance of these talks as you would anticipate them happening, is the talk of a split between the united states and saudi arabia exaggerated or something that we should really be worried about now? >> it's a problematic relation. this is not the first crisis. we had a major crisis in 1973 when they cut the oil supply. we have major crisis in 2001, 9/11. even before in august of 2001 prince abdullah sent a very strong letter to the american president saying we will go in different direction now. so we have so many crisis before, but we are able to manage the problem. but i think this is different crisis because now we think that u.s. is much weaker than before, loss of credibility, and loss of value. when you can see for three years innocent syrian people slaughtered, and the americans do nothing. this is a different kind of crisis now. >> lawrence, you heard what mustafa if said. is the united states a weaker partner, and does that change the dynamics between the two count

what kind of outreach was done. >> thank you, president kate's and commissioner murphy. i thought i would stand up here in advance of the friends from the housing officer it's on a port process to reach an mo u it's a process document so i building going back to 2011 we've set the framework to begin a partnership with the mayor's office of housing to allow the hard work of an entitlement process for affordable housing to take place in the future. that's my view in 2011, we went to the eastern waterfront villagers e viruses groupings group and i personally met with the board and other groups to before it went to the board of supervisors. mr. herrera is correct after working in the mayor's office of housing we met with the new folks several times. we fwlald participated and presented at the meeting the b c n a called jointly to address the project and we met individually with representatives of those groups and thought that was a good basis of coming up with an agreement of again, a process document. that being said i was part of the guidance from those groups and was abou

murphy: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from connecticut. mr. murphy: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to a period of morning business with senators permitted to speak to up to ten minutes each. the presiding officer: the senate is in a quorum call. mr. murphy: i ask that we dispense with the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. murphy: and then ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to a period of morning business with senators permitted to speak to up to ten minutes each. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. murphy: i now ask that i be recognized to speak for as much as time as i may consume. the presiding officer: the senator from connecticut is recognized for that purpose. mr. murphy: thank you very much, mr. president. we now are in about the six months of implementation of the affordable care act and we have over 11 million people who have received health care, who previously had not been able to receive it either through the private exchanges which have signed up four million people

i'd like to turn it over to shawn murphy. >> good afternoon, commissioners, shawn murphy, bay west development. we own the property in question 2 henry adams and 101 henry adams, which is the galleria. i think it'd be helpful to give a little background about this design center community, not only in san francisco, but on a nationwide trend. there has been considerable traction across the board -- you can point to seattle, boston, los angeles, all of which are operating at 40 to 50 percent occupancy. that contraction is really a factor of two different conditions. it's the overall economy, but also the changing mind set of that user and their -- the internet and their immediacy for good has taken a massive role in this contraction of the design center so san francisco is not immune to that. the design center district as a whole -- there's about 100 to 75,000 square feet of available pdr in that area. one of the benefits that we have is that we have two buildings and our plan is that we will crystallize the galleria, 101 henry adams and make that the showroom show piece to keep the integrity of

chris murphy says republicans are playing politics. also, from the miracle on ice to rocky and bull winkle, why do we love to hate russia? is it deserved? oscar pistorius's defense hammers a witness. she cries sayinging it was awful to hear the shots. what we know about the night of the killing. >>> the crisis in ukraine. vladimir putin will do next. joining me now is robert legvald and general mark kimmet and fareed zakaria. fareed, we spoke last night and had a fascinating debate about the state of play. i want to play you a clip. this is president clinton talking to me at the cgi last september about his own dealings with vladimir putin because it seems to me that trust in putin right now is absolutely key. listen to this. >> mr. putin has got -- he's very smart. >> you know him better than most people. >> yeah, i do. >> what was he like behind closed doors away from sort of the public utterances? >> smart and remarkably -- we had a really good, blunt relationship. >> how blunt? >> brutally blunt. >> did putin ever renege on a perso

more chris murphy, democrat from connecticut. you are in connecticut now. welcome home, sir. >> thanks. >> the biggest challenge seems to be trying to comprehend putin's calculations. we try to get close to russia's foreign minister and then putin refuses to answer his calls. then we slap on tougher sanctions and then putin puts them right back on us. and at this point we still have no idea what his next move will be or how far he is willing to go. after spending time over there, what other options do you think we have? >> i think you hit the nail on the head. people ask to -- me to describe what the mood was in kiev when we were there last weekend. it twaens but also confused because they just don't know what putin's next move will make. i think that's likely because putin is making this up as he goes along. and what we -- know right now is that holding crimea and crimea only does not do much for putin. it makes him a pariah. all of russia's support in the parliament in kiev disappears and so it guarantees that the 95% of ukraine that is non-crimea is goin

i'm patrick murphy. when i was elected back in 2006 i became the first iraq war veteran to join congress. now there are 16 members who served in iraq and afghanistan. but the number of veterans in office has fallen dramatically over the years, and it's now just down to 20%. our nation's veterans are an important civic asset with skills and experience far beyond their years. so what are they doing to keep serving their country? joining me again, congresswoman and army captain tulsi gabbard, who served two tours in operation iraqi freedom and was just named one of elle magazine's ten most powerful women in d.c. congratulations. and john sultz, another two-tour iraq war veteran and co-founder and chairman of vote vets. congresswoman, you know, you're a bit of a prodigy in public office. you were elected to the hawaii legislature at age 21. u.s. congress at age 31. how did your military experience play a role in that? >> i've got to tell you, i'm getting a lot of flak from many of my soldier friends who saw

does and there is a trip scheduled to europe in ten days time. >> that is right, strong words from murphy and fifer. thank you. >> we are joined where the locals are voting right now in crimea. jennifer, with the polls closing within the hour, how are the people feeling now and do they know which way that the vote is go ng to swing? >> well, no question that this is going to go moscow's way and they don't care what washington or the international community thinks. you heard they are looking at it from two different perspectives. think they see as liberation and a correction of a mistake from 60 years ago when ukraine was given. crimea this port city home to the russian black sea fleet should belong to moscow and they feel today is a day of celebration and a woman saying it is more important than when they went into space. we expect at the exit polls to come out in three and a half hours time and everybody here is certain what the outcome will be and the vote is headed to russia. >> jennifer, we are seeing the pretty powerful images of people waving flags, standing outside as night falls,

vivek murphy nominated by the obama administration to be surgeon general but now amid opposition fromwhite house telling "the new york times," it's "recalibrating our strategy around his floor vote. a recalibration that could allow allowing dr. fuhthy to withdraw." the excessive concern he developed as an emergency room doctor with the ravages of gun violence. >> my concerns with regard to issues like gun violence have to do with my experience as a physician, seeing patients in emergency rooms who have come in with acute injuries. >> murthy's unforgivable sin, last year he signed on to a public letter to congress saying "as health care professionals, we're unwavering in our belief that strong measures to reduce gun violence must be taken immediately." the letter advocated for such radical notions as a ban on military-style assault weapons, a proposal more than half americans agree with. doctors are not prohibited from talking to their patients about gun safety in the home. "one of our most important tasks as health care providers is to counsel our patients about how to take care of th

we will call the roll. >> no by proxy. >> no. >> no by proxy. >> no. >> no. >> murphy? no. >> no. >> mr. corker? >> no. >> mr. rich? >> aye. >> mr. rubio? >> he didn't send a proxy. >> aye. >> no. i am sure he is a yes. meaning no.

[indiscernible] >> i know washington counts in unique ways. the amendment is not agree to. anybody else wishing to offer an amendment? >> we have it in amendment from me. what the amendment would do is add number 82 section six a. to section 6ht (a). and to also address violence against women and girls. i want to thank senators johnson, boxer, durbin for cosponsoring. and senator cardin has been asked to be added as a cosponsor. -- me point out the region reason i thought this would be important to add is because of we look at how ukraine fares when it comes to their treatment of women, they rank very low in politicalomen's anticipation. 119 out of 136. only 10% of women in parlia

we looked up after senator murphy walked the comments back and hours later senator murphy did tweet thist all of the coke ads of obama care are deceptive but the vast majority are. was that walking it back. you decide that one. now he is bragging%çn about it today on the senate floor anyone turned on fox news lately knows i have gotten under charles and david coke's coch's skin. just for the record we looked it up and leader reid did tweet out sort of a correction i can't say all the ads on obamacare are deceptive so i repeated that. fox got more free advertising. >> e.y. he is playing exactly the game is he trying to play here. toss enough red meat to his base that people are going to fun and respond to it this is the thing that democrats are talking about they are very worried about the potential of being outspent by outside money this year. trying to get the big checkbooks off the sidelines. the way do you it is by attacking the boogie man out there and that's the koch brothers. try to continue to go to the senate floor to do that. he is provoking an action and has financial benefit.

senate majority leader dole in 1996, about medicare, you know what i said, senator murphy, he said i was there fighting the fight voting against medicare because we knew it wouldn't work in 1965. folks, there's a big difference between the parties. let's be clear. and when you see the republicans start to vote again to repeal the affordable care act, that's what they wanted to do to social security. that's what they wanted to do to medicare. we stopped them then, we'll stop them now. all they want to do is repeal all of these great benefits that are helping millions of people and i say to them enough already. enough. work with us. let's make sure everyone in america, you know, has that sense of security that they can handle whatever health impacts hit their families. thank you very much and thanks again to my colleague from connecticut. mr. whitehouse: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from rhode island is recognized. mr. whitehouse: thank you, mr. president. we are here to point out through there are an awful lot of americans who are winning because of the affordable

my name is chris murphy, senator from connecticut and chairman of the foreign relations subcommittee on europe. senator mccain and i had the opportunity in december to stand on the maidan looking out over the almost one million protesters assembling peacefully, all united by the temperament that they wanted to bring dignity back to their country and to their existence. many were there because they wanted an orientation with your. others were there because they wanted to leaders in government, but they all held in common the basic simple belief that it should be the people of this country, no outside entity, that dictates the future of this great nation. it is difficult in washington these days to get a group of senators as politically diverse as those that are standing here today to agree on much of anything. but we are standing here united, republicans and democrats, as we did in the foreign relations committee last week, making it clear that the united states is going to stand with a free and sovereign ukraine. that we are going to stand with this new government to help them do wha

won't forget when senator murphy and i were here months ago, we stood in the trade union building and watched as hundreds of thousands of ukrainian patriots stood in the freezing cold and demanded freedom, rule of law, and a european future. we are honored to be here to congratulate you on all that you have accomplished, and all of us joined the ukrainian people in wanting more than 100 -- in morning more than 100 brave souls who gave their lives for the ukraine's future. we met with the prime minister, government leaders, including the governor of dennis with leaders from across the political spectrum including the party's regions, and with representatives from ukraine's business communities, civil society, and the model movement. we are also deeply concerned about reports today of russian military movement into areas around eastern ukraine. these movements are deeply disturbing. ukrainian government is legitimate, constitutional, and have them portend popular mandate for change, but change will not be easy. it is essential now for the government here to reach out to all ukrainians a

we will talk conspiracy theories with senator chris murphy is here. just back from ukraine., i have the gop autopsy one year later. you know what, joy? still i dead. >> patience. oh, dear. what a tough diagnosis. weigh can't wait to see it. "the cycle" comes up next.

murphy is unfortunate as well. you have a really qualified candidate.eally the policy issues are confused here, right? i mean the surgeon general is not going to write policy about gun krole. they're trying to curtail any possibility with respect to a public health conversation. they're doing it very, very successfully. >> i don't know if these kinds of tactics can work when we're not in the run-up to a midterm election and where there are not democra democra democrat vulnerable in states like louisiana and arkansas. that may not happen in an off election moment. >> that's an excellent point. i spoke to some senate staff. they said look, after november he might get through. he also lost the vote of senators up in cycle. let me read to you what rand paul said about this. mark? >> yes. >> let me read to you what rand paul said. quote in his efforts to curtail second amendment rights, dr. murphy has continually referred to guns as a public health issue on par with heart disease and thus diminishes the role of mental health in gun violence. new ber one aren

murphy is the bull, pete is the bear. murph?he biotech industry as a whole has had a huge run but that doesn't mean it's going lower. looking at this etf, xvi is the best way to play this race. if you look at it, pete, a big portion of this fund, three times larger than any other holding in the fund, is intercept pharmaceuticals. we know what happened there, how the stock took off. it's almost over now. when that breaks up they spread the fund out more. i think it's going to new highs. >> right. i think the problem is because of exactly what you just pointed out. big portion of the fund is intercept. the problem is, you're talking about primary mailly bioteches that have no earnings and huge shortage. >> intercept is a big part because the stock quadrupled. >> so the percentage that it's influence on the index right now, i think is 7% or something like that. >> next few weeks. >> look at biogen and the anything names, none of this is part of this. talking about primarily companies that don't have earnings yet. because of that th

joining me now is democratic senator chris murphy of connecticut, member of the committee on foreignns who just got back from ukraine. and senator murphy, you along with senator mccain, i think, have been the two most outspoken members of the united states government in condemning russian incursions and supporting the uprising. i want to play for you a little more of what senator mccain had to say about the president's handling today. take a listen. >> the president said we will, "consider other options." the president should have said, we're going to provide military assistance to ukraine and that will be in defensive weaponry. but to not do that after this country has lost a large part of its territory due to russian aggression, i think, frankly, it's encouraging and it makes me less optimistic about putin exercising restrain in eastern ukraine. >> you agree with your colleague, we should be offering military assistance to ukraine? >> yeah, you know, john and i have agreed on most of our policy toward ukraine. we traveled there twice together in the last three months. it's probably

let's bring in senator chris murphy of connecticut, the chairman of the summit of europe.nks for joining us. you said yesterday that you think putin marched into crimea because he did not believe that the united states and europe would actually take a chunk of flesh out of the russian economy. do these sanctions go far enough? >> i think the sanctions announced today send a message to putin say that we are serious. no, they are directed against certain people coming down from putin and make it clear that we are serious about moving forward on sanctions but give him room to make a certain decision before he effects crimea. he didn't think that we would take him seriously. i also don't think this is the end of his ambition. it's actually counterproductive and strategically difficult to stop holding ton crimea. i think he's got different motives and designs which is why it's important for us to say that if he continues to move in this direction, if he moves forward with annexation, this is just the beginning of sanctions, not the end. >> do you think he wants to take all of u

so to murphy and josh's credit they've been on that. these things have not performed.ey're right. i've been wrong holding onto this name far too long. gave me at shot at 24, i didn't take it. probably have to exit soon. >> this stock has not participated. now it's caught up in the mike mayo stuff that's going on after, you know, they failed the fed's test. what do you do now with a name like that that you continue to like but you have to make a decision at some point whether to give it up and go with something that's going to help you more in the playoffs? >> the irony they're the highest of the best capitalized bank of the big five, right? so this is not good news, but the stock is down 13%, their ratios are perfectly fine well above the threshold of 4. and it's -- why i like it is the emerging markets exposure. that's my portfolio. my entire portfolio is about global recovery. and it's not going to happen in the first or second quarter, but i think it's going to happen in the back half of the year. so i'm sticking with the majority of my names. >> the bond short is i

murphy doesn't need a single republican vote to pass the nomination. reid changed the rules and they need only a simple majority. and it is down to democrats and the group of democrats is concerned because of the things that dr. murphy said about gun control and he favors more gun control and that's got the national rifle association opposing his nomination and we have senators, the senator from alaska is on record opposing it and up to ten septemberors on the democratic side is opposing the nomination. >> the nra stepped in and said we don't like the guy. ten democrats are pulling the senate. is the nomination dead already, michael? >> i can't predict for certain but it doesn't look good. there are reasons for that. look at the doctor, 36 and he would be the youngest surgeon general. he department pass his residency until 2006 because he is young and inexperienced and it is more the political side of things. not only do the announcements on gun control make him problematic but there is not much else going for him. he is a political nominee than medica
