if anyone can get it done, it's chris murphy. nobody has been more passionate about this issue than he. i believe he's been working really hard to try to get a deal with at least ten republicans, which is what we're going to need. after sandy hook when we were meeting with senators and everyone in the room was weeping as the families showed them pictures of their children, it seems like that was a moment when something could happen also. although we got to 54 votes in the senate, we failed. we haven't done anything. congress has done nothing on guns significant since 1994. it would be surprising if this time were different, but i'm hoping to be surprised. >> mitch mcconnell has said that raising the age for semiautomatics is offer the table. you need to be 21 to buy beer but at 18 you can buy an ar-15 rifle. >> the age to buy a handgun is 21 and a long gun is 18. because in the old days long guns were not used in many crimes. they were single action guns mostly used for hunting and peaceful purposes. now what we see every single

look at the difference in passion between ted cruz and chris murphich here's chris murphy. >> sandy hook will in ever be the same. this community in texas will never ever be the same? why? why are we here if not to try to make sure that fewer schools and fewer communities go through what sandy hook has gone through, what uvalde is going through. our heart is breaking for these families. every ounce of love and thoughts and prayers we can send we are spending, but i'm here thon this flor to beg, toly rally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues. find a path forward here. work with us to if find a way to pass laws that make this less likely. >> senator castro, both of these men are human beings. they are both fathers. they both have families and have little kids in their lives. can i not stand to see a little kid cry. people love children. they are both presumably. why is it that these texas senators lack -- don't have the passion that this man chris murphy has, this senator has? do you understand it? i can't understand it. >> well, i don't, except to say that the contrast co

we want to continue our conversation now with senator chris murphy of connecticut. senator, i want to get into the specifics of some of what you are talking to your fellow senators about. but i want to start with something else. i grew up in a town next to sandy hook. i know you represented that district when you were a congressman at the time of the shooting. you spoke on the senate floor quite passionately this week about not just the victims but the survivors, and the ptsd that these little children have just walking back into a classroom, and remembering having to walk over bodies. can you talk a little bit about what this doe

s. senate a, chris murphy. they were listening to him in washington dc, making that statement writing that question to me. unfortunately, the battle on to will draw on here as mass shootings in the us are sadly so common . that's right, anthony. we heard the senator refer to it that there been more than $200.00 mass shootings in the us already this year. and just remember that president biden was actually in buffalo last week, comforting the black community there were, and 10 people were killed at a supermarket in this racially motivated shooting. so certainly, anthony, we can expect the president to speak about all of this and about the need for stricter gun control. but again, that is an issue that is so politically divisive in this country. and it has remained elusive until now. so we'll wait and see what exactly the president had to say. it has to say on this, the dublin washington correspondents to me so must gather many things. forces file to over, run the capital key. if moscow is now concentrating its f

chris murphy has been in talks with texas republican senator john cornyn as their staffs trade legislative language today ahead of bipartisan zoom meetings starting tomorrow to see if they can break years of senate gridlock blocking gun safety proposals. moments ago at the white house, the president telling reporters he will be meeting with lawmakers about guns. >> there's an awful lot of suffering. i've been to more mass shooting aftermaths than i think any president in american history, unfortunately. so much of it is -- much of it is preventable. and the devastation is amazing. >> that was in a meeting with the new zealand prime minister. the united states has its first confirmed ambassador to ukraine in kyiv in three years. she arrives at a critical moment with president zelenskyy saying that russia achieved, quote, maximum combat power in the eastern donbas region. president biden has reaffirmed his support for federal reserve independence in fighting inflation in advance of a meeting today with fed chairman powell as the national frustration with rising inflation becomes a midterm th

back with us is senator chris murphy. senator, you were elected to the senate one month before the sandy hook shooting. you mentioned in our earlier segment what it was like for you yesterday when you saw the news on your phone. take us back to december 14th, 2012. 26 people were murdered, most of them children. what was that date like for you? >> it was a day where i heard things and saw things that i often wished i had not seen or heard. i was on the train platform in bridgeport, connecticut, with my two kids getting ready to go down to see the christmas splendor of new york city. i was going to take the afternoon off. and i got a phone call that something had happened in my congressional district. and at first i thought maybe it was a workplace shooting. but then i quickly heard that kids were involved and i quickly changed my plans. and i made my way up to sandy hook to find out what had happened there. my life -- my life changed that day. i met some of the parents that i am now close friends with that day. i met and

you spoke with chris murphy earlier in the broadcast. there are those discussions going on around potentially expanding background checks and the red flag laws. the question is, will they be able to get enough votes to move forward on any piece of legislation that would make it more difficult to obtain a gun, particularly for those who are mentally unstable? >> robert, we know now in polls, some of the polling is as high as 80% of people support some or all gun restrictions. it's really extraordinary. why can't they break this gridlock in the senate? you would think politicians would react to what they see in the polls. >> yeah. unfortunately, i don't think the composition of the senate is equal to the composition of where the country is. that having been said, look, i'm a big believer right now, andrea, if there's a will, there is a way. i believe there are enough people up there that want to be able to do something. i think it's a good sign that people like chris murphy and others are having quiet meetings and negotiations. i think peo

of course moments ago we were listening to the senator from connecticut, chris murphy, who was there after the massacre at sandy hook and pleaded with this body to make changes in this nation, a plea which was not answered his words today may well go down in history it's important that we play that again and then we'll continue with the news. >> the 14 kids dead in an elementary school in texas right now. what are we doing? what are we doing? just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down african american patrons, we have another sandy hook on our hands. what are we doing? there are more mass shootings than days in the year. our kids are living in fear. every single time they set foot in a classroom because they think they're going to be next what are we doing? why do you spend all this time running for the united states senate why do you go through all the hassle of getting this job, of putting yourself in a position of authority if your answer is that as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives, we do nothing? what are we doing? why are you here i

a little over after an hour of the news broke, senator chris murphy, who has dedicated his career to responding to the sandy hook massacre. -- he took to the senate floor to just literally beg, to plead, with his republican colleagues to do anything to help curb gun violence in this country. >> there's 14 kids dead in an elementary school in texas right now. what are we doing? what are we doing? just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down african american patrons, we have another sandy hook on our hands. what are we doing? this is not inevitable! these kids were not unlucky! this only happens in this country. and nowhere else. but i am here on this floor to bag big, to literally get down on my hands and knees and begged my colleagues. to find a path forward here. work with us to find a way to pass laws that make this less likely. >> and senator chris murphy joins me now. senator, i profoundly appreciated what you had to say on the floor. and just to highlight something key here -- again, whatever information surfaces about the shooter's motives, there is a thing

>> chris murphy, you are my hero. just over four years ago my daughter killed in a similar shooting, and i want to people that my son was in the shooting as well, heard the bullets that killed his sister and i want to remember that. it's not just about those who get killed today. it's about all of those who survive and are going to be impacted by what happened today, burks gosh, ari, i have had it. for four plus years since my daughter died, i've been gentle with these people. i've been debating these people. i've been arguing over what this all means in terms of the second amendment while since my daughter died we've gone from 300 million weapons on the street to 400 million, plus ghost guns, and they stand around and they want to debate. let me tell you something. since this is happening in texas, and i saw governor abbott on an earlier segment here, he is responsible. senator cruz, you are responsible. lieutenant governor, you are responsible pause you have all pushed this notion that we need more guns and more han

we're joined by connecticut senator chris murphy, leading bipartisan negotiations over gun control in congress. e joihe joins us from connecticut. welcome to the program. you said in some powerful remarks this week that what you are looking to do is, to use your word, is incremental change when it comes to gun safety. you are talking to republicans about red flag laws and expanding background checks. can you get 10 republicans to vote with you on either of those two measures? >> i think we can. i think there is something dying inside the soul of this country when we refuse to act at a national level shooting after shooting. i do think there is an opportunity right now to be able to pass something specifically. i've seen more republican interest in coming to the table and talking than any other moment since sandy hook. it is true, republicans are not willing to support everything i support, like banning assault weapons, but i really think we can pass something that saves lives and breaks this log jam we've had for 30 years, proving to republicans if you vote to tighten the nation's gun

one senator, senator chris murphy chris murphy of of connecticut learned connecticut learn about about today's mass today's mass shooting shooting, what straight to, he went straight to the senate floor has the senate floor as used on so many he has done so many times the times before to speak about this fines for this week on the senate and action on gun violence. but today, today things are different. his frustration and anger is been growing since 20 children, young children of six of those were brutally killed in a state. at sandy hook. and connecticut. no meaningful education is an post prevent an ex tragedy. >> 14 kids. that. an elementary school. when we do a? what are we doing. just days after the shooter walked to the grocery store, to kind of african american patrons, of another sandy hook. when we doing? normal shootings in days than a year. our kids are living in fear. every single time they step foot in the courtroom. where? police penalties are from people being killed? a lot of increases we do nothing. what are we doing? why are you here? it's not available. these kids o

and i think chris is right. chris murphy's right. the congress hasn't done enough. many of us have tried. the state legislature in texas, the governor in particular, i think has made it worse in texas, has made it more dangerous in texas. you know, uvalde is a small tight-knit community west of me. i've gone there to practice law. i've met many people, mostly because of politics, from there. and it just -- it shocks the cons conscience, especially when it's kids. you know, and people often talk about how texans are big on gun rights and protecting themselves. i think most texans, when they think about guns and they think americans, you think about owning a gun and keeping it at your home because you want to have it in case somebody breaks into your house at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning and you want o'protect yourself or your family, or people go hunting and so they have guns. you know, but most people don't want mentally unstable people or people who are full of hate and have left clues all over social media that they're going to take action, most people don't want t

he was literally begging his republican colleagues, a chris murphy. of course, he's been a representative from a district where he was a representative from a district that included sandy hook elementary school where that 2012 mass shooting happened in this video. he says he understands that his republican colleagues will not agree to everything he may support, but that there's a common denominator that we can find. um, what did you think when you, when you saw that video, do you think this will change mines are, is their political will power on behalf of republicans in the senate who would be willing and able to work with senator murphy and other democratic lawmakers to actually pay a pass some form of gun control legislation. in short. no, i don't know. the politics of this issue really determines what's possible on the policy. and until we align the politics with the policy, i don't think we're going to see change it the national level. um, you know, when i suggested changing the federal law to 21, i think that's in the realm of do ability under th
