murphy: i would. mr. whitehouse: i have some statistics here that i find a little surprising and i'd love to ask you about your explanation of them. and the statistics that i have are that 76% of gun owners and 71% of national rifle association members support prohibiting people on the terror watch list from purchasing guns. and yet, despite the fact that 76% of gun owners support putting people on the terror watch list on the list that doesn't allow them to buy firearms, and despite the fact that 71% of n.r.a. members support putting terror watch list folks onto the ban list for buying firearms, that, nevertheless, the n.r.a. has repeatedly opposed and attempted to block legislation that attempts to close the terrorist watch list gap. do you have an explosion or a thought about why it is that whewhen three-quarters of people take one porks the organization is taking a completely different position from what their members support and from what gun owners support across america? mr. murphy: senator whiteho

, to help chris murphy by making comments and asking him long questions that allowed senator murphy to rest his voice. that's playing within the rules of the filibuster. he can entertain questions and the longer the questions, the bigger favor you're doing him by allowing him to rest a little bit. mitch mcconnell realized as this went on he had to do something. he was going to have to give chris murphy a vote. republican john cornyn was dispatched to negotiate with demonstrate dianne feinstein about a bill to prevent people on the terror watch list from buying guns. while those negotiations were going on, pat toomey went to the senate floor to support senator murphy and the crack in the republican wall was now open. now you measure victories in washington not by getting everything you want. that never happens. i once heard the senator i used to work for tell a newcomer to washington that if he was serious about making governing progress on the things he cared about, he was going to have to stay at this for 30 years. now when you've learned to look at progress that way, 30-year curves,

murphy: thank you. reclaiming my time, i thank the gentleman for asking that question because i think it is important for us to clear about why we're here. we are here not to hold the floor for holding the floor's sake but because we've had enough of condolences and thoughts and prayers without action from this body. and we think we've identified two commonsense measures that are supported by the vast majority of the american public, making sure that people who are suspected as being terrorists cannot purchase weapons and making sure that the background check system applies to all of the commercial venues in which guns are sold. we think it's time for us to have a debate on those two measures on the floor of the senate, to be able to get a vote, something that this body used to do a lot of, on those two measures. the and we have selected measures that are not controversial in the american public. they are supported by 80% to 90% of americans. and so we are holding the floor and we are standing on the fl

is that not the case, senator murphy? mr. murphy: thank you, senator blumenthal, for that. i think that's critically important here. i guess i would answer in two ways. first is to underscore your point. our nation's set of state-based firearms regulations are only as strong as the weakest link. and so we can have the strongest laws in connecticut but guns and terrorists and would-be criminals don't observe state boundaries. and if you are intent on committing a heinous crime, you probably also have the means to figure out how to get around one state's tough gun laws. senator durbin was down here earlier talking about the fact that a large number of the weapons that are used in chicago to commit murders, 60 some odd shootings over memorial day weekend alone, come from outside of the state of illinois. illinois has some pretty tough gun laws but indiana doesn't. so you can get to indiana in a heart beat from chicago and you can pick up a firearm online or at a gun show or you can go to a pretty miserably regulated gun dealer and bring what effectively are illegal weapons bac

murphy: i will. mr. donnelly: like all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, i was sick when i learned of the tragic shooting in orlando. since sunday, like so many people, my thoughts have been with the families and with the friends of the victims, with the lgbt community, with the people of orlando, with all americans who are mourning the loss of loved ones at the hands of senseless gun violence. my thoughts are also with the parents across our nation. we have to explain to our kids how can something like this happen in our country? we were elected in this chamber to do a job, to discuss issues, to debate them and to vote, to vote on legislation that makes our communities and our country safer. i came to the floor tonight to participate in this discussion because we have a job to do and we have action to take. senator murphy, i want to thank you for leading this effort. i am a supporter of the second amendment. i'm also someone who believes it's reasonable for all of us to consider smart and respon

several senators joined senator murphy. me extend myy: let thanks to chairman shelby and ranking member mikulski for putting together a truly bipartisan bill. i am honored to be a member of the appropriations committee. this was a difficult bill to put together but they did very good work in the subcommittee to make this a product both sides could support. i thank them for allowing me to be part of that process. second, let me acknowledge the remarks that senator mikulski who noted that in many ways the world and the country has changed since this bill was scheduled to come to the floor. our heartbreaks collectively in this country for the citizens of orlando and as i'll speak in a moment, in particular in connecticut. our heartbreaks for the people of orlando because we know in a very real way the pain that exists there today but we also know how that pain is really never ending, how the ripples of that pain are unceasing and unrelenting and they span generations. they span neighborhoods. they span years. newtown is still

he idolized a woman named ann marie murphy. ann marie murphy was his special education teacher and his personal aide. and over the course of the beginning of his first grade year, they formed a bond, a deep, deep bond, that is often hard to form for kids with autism, like dylan. it meant something to him to have that relationship. and he loved going to school, in large part because he knew he had someone there who loved him back. when adam lanza walked into that classroom and aimed his military-style assault weapon with clips attached to it holding 30 bullets, ann marie murphy probably had a chance to run or so hide or to panic. and instead, ann marie murphy made the most courageous decision that any of us could imagine. instead of running, instead of hiding, instead of panicking, ann marie murphy found dylan hockley and embraced him. you know why we know that? because when the police entered the classroom, that's how they found dylan hockley. dead, wrapped in the embrace of ann marie murphy. it doesn't take courage to stand he

murphy: that is correct. and i'm still waiting for one of our republican colleagues to come down to the floor and suggest that the individuals on the no-fly list have their right to fly restored, because if you are so worried about the wrong people being hon thatly, then you should come down to the floor and propose that those individuals be able to get on a plane. but no one is proposing that because you would be tarred and feathered by your constituents if you proposed that. and, thus, it is, you know, i think hard to understand why there is a belief that none of these people should fly, but all of these people should be able to buyassault weapons. ms. stabenow: and i think the american people are scratching their heads at this moment. hopefully the colleagues on the other side will join us to close this incredible loophole. mr. murphy: i thank my colleague. my friend from mass is on the floor. i would yield without losing plight to the floor. mr. markey: i thank the gentleman. i ask the gentleman, why won'

murphy. ms. murphy: mr. chief justice, and may it please the court, three years ago the executive asked congress to enact legislation that would have given it the power to authorize most of the people that are living in this country unlawfully to stay, work, and receive benefits, and congress declined. now the executive comes before this court with the extraordinary claim that it has had the power to achieve the same -- justice sotomayor: excuse me. was that really all was that part of a package for a pathway to citizenship? ms. murphy: it was not a pathway to citizenship. it was a pathway to lawful presence in the country that would have allowed individuals to have a legal status, to remain this country, and congress has not created a legal status for the category of individuals covered by dapa. justice sotomayor: that's correct. why do you think this is a legal status in the way that that bill imagines? ms. murphy: it is a legal status because under the agency's own regulations, it is a status that has con

murphy: absolutely. they are going to look at the family connections, the afghanistan and pakistan connections, the leads worldwide they are working on. domestic, every place he traveled. the bureau, when these events happen, they seem to be occurring more frequently, which is something we need to address. they need to see if there were steps missed, and i think director come he has outlined at himself and said they will be reviewing this. right now, they are still full steam ahead, trying to figure this out. what motivated him, was there anybody else involved, who actually inspired him, and any other connections he may have. charlie: what do we know about frequency? the idea that these things are happening with more frequency. we see patterns developing, the kinds of locations that were chosen. clubs, theaters. whether it is paris or orlando. mr. murphy: we need to evolve quickly, and that is my concern, that we are not agile enough to keep up with this threat. the threat is different than it was five y

senator murphy's here. all the people working here are here because of this conspiracy of love, of folks who didn't just take care of themselves and their families. they got engaged in their country, got engaged in their communities, the neighborhoods. they did for others, they served, they volunteered. they sacrificed. so we're on another inflection point in american history with the worst mass murder in our country's history. you cannot control always what happens to you, but you can control your response to it. let our response to this hate-filled act be love. let our response from this terroristic act seeking to scare us be courage. let us in the days ahead act with love and courage as demonstrated by our engagement with our political system pressing, pushing, letting our representatives be heard from in this body, that we want them to support commonsense closing of the terrorist loophole and expanding that with background checks that shut off the back door for terrorists to exploit to get assault weapo

chris murphy decided he'd had enough yesterday. he staged a marathon speech. a filibuster. >> we've got to show a signal to the american public that we care so deeply about the consequences of inaction that we are at the very least going to stop this process from moving forward until we can't stand any longer. >> trevor: yes. yes. (applause) yes. and he meant it. murphy and his colleagues filibuster for 15 hours! 15 hours of talking, all as dr. ben carson calls it, ordering lunch. (laughter) tell -- me -- again -- what -- size -- of -- soda -- you -- maintain -- in -- this -- eh -- establishment. (laughter) for those of you who don't owe, a filibuster is when a senator talks as long as he can to prevent anything else from getting done. it's tantric legislating. have you watched the show cops? it's basically when they pull someone over for stealing the car and the perp in the car filibusterrrrrs. the cop says, did you steal this car? he says, well, you know what happened, officer, i was at my friend's darnell's house and -- let me tell you about darnell, man. h

i appreciate you, senator murphy. but now i want to get to the framing of what this is about because there has been a lot talked about tonight, most of which i agree with. a lot discussed, a lot far afield, but you came here with a purpose around two issues that are of common sense. one is that in the united states of america, if our investigatory authorities see people as threats, are investigating people because they are believed to be desirous of doing acts of terrorism on american soil, people who have already been banned from -- in some cases from flying on airplanes, that we should take a step, we should make it the law of this land that that person who was a suspected terrorist, that person who can't get on an airplane, hey, that person also should not be able to buy an assault rifle. that is so common sense that as you said earlier today perhaps four or five hours ago, many people in america are shocked when they realize that that loophole, that terrorist loophole actually exists. what you're fighting for, sen

the question is, did chris murphy actually accomplish anything? >> i've had enough. >> tragedies continue to occur, and we just move forward with business as usual. >> reporter: democratic senator, chris murphy, ending his nearly 15 hour filibuster on the senate floor, early this morning. after saying he has a commitment from republican leaders to take on two proposed gun control measure. quote, i am proud to announce that at 14-plus hours on the floor, we will have a vote on closing the terror gap and universal background checks. the dramatic scene, coming just four days orlando terror attack at a gay nightclub that killed 49 people and injured 53 others. the deadliest mass shooting in u.s. history. dozens of democrats joining murphy on the senate floor. >> through all of the shouting, we miss what should be obvious. it was a terrorist with a gun that killed all those people. >> enough. enough. enough. what we're seek something common sense. >> and even some republican senators. >> there is an obvious opportunity here, guys, to work together and

but senator murphy started this conversation today. pat twomey, among several other republicans, has said that there must be some sort of compromise way forward on this, that there must be some way to get something to pass. just to keep things interesting, republican presidential candidate tweeted "i will be meeting with the nra, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch lit or the no-fly list to buy guns." the nra said they're happy to meet with mr. trump but they're not budging. the question is has chris murphy and has orlando shaken something loose here? might there be room to move on this finally? and how late is this filibuster going to go into the night tonight? joining is connecticut senior senator richard blumenthal. thank you for joining us. >> it's been a long day on the floor. we been with my colleague, senator murphy from connecticut on the floor today. we've seen people come to the floor and very powerfully talk about these two moderate measures, a start as chris murphy has stated so eloquently.

chris murphy is leading on mental healthcare issues. these things all have one thing in common the unbelievably easy availability of military grade firearms. that, we don't do anything on. all we toodo, stop talking for 10 seconds and look serious and observe a moment of silence. the common denominator here is the crazy availability of firearms, we're not talking about that. to be clear, not that adjusting these regulations will damage anybody's second amendment rights and not like we're going up against the majority of the american public, the opposite is true. 90% of americans support universal background checks and most support the second amendment and say the kind of training and licenseing you get to have a gun ought to look like the training and licenseing to drive a car! >> congressman hime thank you. we've been watching senator pat leahy of vermont speak and then after this we will look at all beaches of disney resorts close after an alligator snatched a toddler away from his father and we're looking at a recovery effort nearly

president, why -- why the passion of murphy? why? could it have been the death of these little babies by some madman walking into the sandy hook school? of course it was. as he indicated, he can't get that out of his mind. every day that's what he thinks about. every day. not 24 hours a day, but every day. why was cory booker here every minute of the time with senator murphy? he was here because he lives in an area where people are killed -- several a week where he lives in his neighborhood. he gave one of the most passionate speeches on tuesday in our caucus about holding a little boy shot in the head and dying in his arms. senator schumer, the third sponsor of this, has been involved in gun issues since his early days in the house of representatives. feinstein -- dianne feinstein, doing something about guns has been on her portfolio since she was a member of the board of supervisors of san francisco and became mayor as a result of the mayor being murdered. dianne feinstein led the charge a number of years ago to pass on this floor,

senator nelson can tell those people that chris murphy and he won't give up. he can tell those people that government subsidized health insurance was one of the big pieces of unfinished business in delner roosevelt's white house. 15 years and threes presidents, medicare and medicaid are passed. harry truman was there and then became the first official enrollee in medicare. president nixon then proposed a health insurance bill that would extend coverage to people under 65. it was defeated in congress by liberals who believed they could pass a better bill and then never did. bill and hillary clinton took up the cause of health insurance reform in 1994 but were unable to get their bill to a vote on the house floor or the senate floor and then on march 23rd 2010, president obama signed the kind of health care reform legislation that some people in washington had been pushing since the roosevelt presidency, 77 years before. it took 77 years and for decades the senators who pushed health care reform were considered by many in washington to be dreamers. most years th

senator murphy is right. that old saying i learned when i came to washington, change does not come from washington, it comes to washington by people demanding it, people saying enough is enough. no more business as usual. right now what we need is a whole bunch of democrats who got together yesterday and forced to the floor, vent a vote on the amendment that won't solve violence problems but it certainly will make it better than a known and suspected terrace who can't even get on a plane, we can pass legislation to make sure that person can't go out by gun. that's not radical. this legislation is pending now. it's up to us to change the hearts of the people who are intent on voting against it. this is a fight that should not belong only to the victims of gun violence. this is an american fight to do what our country said it would do when we founded this nation, make for the common defense and ensure domestic tranquility. i want to bring up someone who was with me all night long. i wish we were hanging out doi

similar murphy was right to keep to the floor. i think the democrats have to continue to use these tools in order to make sure any agreement is one that actually has teeth. amy: california democratic senator dianne finds that has released new statistics showing more than 90% of known or suspected terrorists have attempted to buy a gun since 2004 have passed a background check and been cleared to do so. the data from ththe government accountatability office shows between 2004 and 2015, nearly 2500 people on the watch list applied to purchase weapons. 2300 of them were approved. last year, individuals on the terrorist watch list were involved in background checks to purchase firearms, 244 times can only 21 of those were denieded. caroline fredrickson? >> i think it shows, we have a problem here. i know the fbi itself is talking about better ways to raise those warning signals up. but really, i'm sorry, but if you can get on an airplane or you can't get on an airplane, you really should not field a buy a gun. you should not be able t

so as we jurying to disarm hate i am so appreciative of senator murphy's efforts to make sure we get a vote farha unclosing of gun show loophole and to make sure that the fbi has the opportunity to someone on the terror watchlist there are those that would necessarily be a terror watchlist so therefore i will also be offering an amendment the department of justice civil-rights division to prevent and fully investigate the hate crimes laws of the nation. i hope that we have reached a moment where we have our thoughts and prayers are not enough we need to pull together and stand united we cannot let those who want to divide us win the day again. i am honored to call to the microphone even though he is a relative newcomer it has served many years in the house of representatives together. we were there where we are about to have a showdown on the senate floor on the issue of gun-control in our country. in 200118 people died directly and with box cutters killed pilots and flight attendants. we pass laws to prohibit box cutters or knives or guns on airplanes. we passed laws to insure our a

murphy said it was unconscionable that congress has done nothing to change the gun laws since the newtown school massacre and left the floor only after getting assurances from top lawmakers. >> we have been given a commitment to get votes on the floor of the senate on a measure to assure that those on the terrorist watch list do not get guns. >> reporter: before yielding the floor murphy talked about one of the children killed at sandy hook. he said to ask yourselves, what can you do to make sure orlando or newtown never happen again? >>> meanwhile, donald trump has requested air meeting with the and a half rifle association to discuss those gun laws. trump now says people on the terror watch list should be banned from purchasing firearms. he also said the death toll in orlando would have been smaller if clubgoers had guns. trump then moved on to immigration renewing his call for a temporary ban on muslims from immigrant countries with ties to terrorism. >> we have to stop on a temporary basis at least but we have to stop people from pour nothing our country. we have to stop it. until we

connecticut senator chris murphy is with us now from washington. senator, good morning. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> we're pleased to have you, sir. tell us if you think those signals that you say you have received to hold these two votes to put them forward will result in a commitment from the senate majority leader to do just that. >> well, i've been up for about an hour after sleeping for two hours and we're going to work today to make sure we have that commitment to bring these votes before the body, as your reporter noted, it would be much better to get a bipartisan agreement on this issue of keeping guns away from terrorists but at the very least we have to have a vote. p senator feinstein has fairly dramatically modified her proposal to try to address many of the concerns republicans have. so it may be if we put this measure on the floor for a vote, either at the end of this week or beginning of next week, we may be able to draw enough support to get it passed. the american public agrees with us. if you're on the terrorist watch

as i said, other senators have come to the floor to help the murphy filibuster, long questions and murphy to preserves his voice to keep going. >> we can't go on with business as usual in this body. >> this individual could have been stopped. >> virtually every member of this body has stated or tweeted out their thoughts and prayers for the victims in orlando. they want to see more than than thoughts and prayers, they want to see us act. >> and the filibuster became bipartisan, when republican senator pat toomey joined the murphy filibuster. >> we don't want terrorists to be able to walk in to a gun store and buy a gun. this is not recket science to figure it out. >> the senate is trying to take action. they are now in negotiations with diane finestein, on a bill that would prevent people on the terror watch list from buying guns. they are turning on the point of how someone who is unfairly placed on the terror watch list, could appeal to get their name off the list. they want to leave that to be handled by a j donald trump is one republican who seems ready to make a deal. he tweeted, i w
