i have had the pleasure of knowing saddam murphy since he was state senator murphy, thinking about running for the u.s. house. he ran for the house and he did it successfully. serve the house for three terms, ran for the senate, and had been serving in the senate with distinction. he and i have had the pleasure of traveling abroad more than once. and he has shown himself to be, in his time on the foreign relations committee, to be one of those senators who is most thoughtful, most adept, the quickest study, and with a deep grounding in the geopolitical context, the human rights issues, the human side of our foreign policy. senator, the american security project has been in existence for over 15 years, founded by john kerry, chuck hagel and others because they thought we needed a nonpartisan, bipartisan security-based foreign policy. i am proud to serve on the board with retired flag officers from every service branch from whom i have learned tremendously. i am proud to be important member of the american security project and even harder to introduce you to our audience. thank you so much,

>> senator murphy: i would. and i think it's pretty clear to me that if republicans get control of the senate, they will get rid of the filibuster in order to pass a national ban on abortion. they got rid of the filibuster for supreme court justices for the explicit po would strike down roe vs. wade, and so i thinould also change the rules to pass that national abortion ban if they win control of the senate in this next election. >> bret: so senator sanders also says he supports a primary challenge to moderate kyrsten sinema. do you? because she's against doing away with the filibuster? >> senator murphy: i don't mind having a big tent, right? we can sort of argue these issues inside our party. i don't ever expect that we are going to have every single democrat in the united states senate supporting the same rule set that i support. i just think we should elect more democrats. that's how we are going to solve this problem, elect democrats in this november election. >> bret: but not pro-life democrats? >> senator

chris murphy. _ impassioned appeal. chris murphy. his _ impassioned appeal. chris murphy, his district - impassioned appeal. chris| murphy, his district include the sandy hook where the massacre occurred 20 years ago with 20 children dying and he made a passionate plea for tighter gun control laws. is that our heart is breaking for these families and appeal to republican colleagues to "find a way to make this sort of thing less likely". it is very much a divisive issue and there have been republicans, including those from texas, who haveissued including those from texas, who have issued statements to this massacre who have not even mentioned the possibility of tightening the gun—control laws in this country so very often we have seen this pattern, if you like, a lot of hand wringing, a lot of call for action after a massacre of this kind, sort of bipartisan legislation which was put forward after the sandy hook massacre but which failed to get the 60 votes needed in order to pass into law and after that, order to pass into law and afterthat, barack order to

murphy: they made a very clear decision as they normally do. britain continues to be the first country we call. almost without reservation, the first country that answers the bell. they continue to operate outside of the european union and the european union will be essential. brussels has to make that decision and pull in the british . a lot of this money that has enriched putin's crowd. we made mistakes. there is no doubt the united states made mistakes on russian policy. the british made mistakes as well. i am deeply gratified by the way they stepped up during this crisis. it is also a reminder how tragic this is they are doing the separate and aside from the rest of europe. mr. cunningham: very well put. we are approaching the bottom of the hour. let me take you right back to the senate foreign relations committee. you attended hearings for our new nominee to be ambassador to kyiv, bridget brink. i am sure you are wishing someone had been named earlier. how do you view her chances? sen. murphy: i would hope she would be in place by the end

including chris murphy. he said, and i quote," our heart is breaking for these families, " and he appealed for his republican colleagues to help find a way to make this sort of thing less likely. david, i know it's early days, but every time something of this nature happens, that discussion comes up. that debate over gun laws in the united states. i know you've been covering, reporting from the us for such a long time now. will anything change as a result of this?— change as a result of this? you're absolutely _ change as a result of this? you're absolutely right, _ change as a result of this? you're absolutely right, these _ change as a result of this? you're absolutely right, these incidentsl absolutely right, these incidents profoundly tragic because they are, are invariably met with hand—wringing, calls for change, but very little in the way of concrete action. president biden, who is on the way back to washington in about two and a half hours or do to deliver some initial remarks about this tragedy,

senator, murphy, thank you for joining us. i want to go back, you were on this program just two days after the sandy hook massacre. it was just a couple of weeks before you were first sworn in as a u.s. senator and you were asked at that point, this was ten years ago, you were asked if sandy hook and that horrific tragedy we saw in newtown was going to represent a turning point, a tipping point, this was your response. >> the time for sort of saying that we can't talk about the policy implications of tragedies like this is over. for us here in connecticut we're going to grieve and make sure the families have everything they need we're going to be on the floor very soon talking about where we go from here. >> ten years later, what has been accomplished? >> it's inconceivable to me that we haven't passed significant federal legislation. trying to address the tragedy of gun violence in this nation, especially because since sandy hook we've seen even worse slaughter, in las vegas, in orlando, as has been mentioned the pace of ever

elderly woman named charlene murphy is admitted into the hospital for brain injury. she's treated, soon ready to be released. but needs a final scan before she can be sent home. which requires her to have a sedative because she was nervous about the scan. you're the nurse that's now called in to help. when did you realize something went wrong? >> it wasn't until she had been brought back to our unit as an intensive care patient, and a code had been called in the pet scan area where she was. >> reporter: radonda was supposed to give charlene a said vin, versid. instead she accidentally administered a powerful paralyzing drug, a catastrophic mistake which caused charlene severe brain damage. >> her primary nurse had approached me and showed me the vial of medication and asked, is this what you gave her? it wasn't until that time that i realized that it was the wrong medication that i had given her. >> reporter: at 75, charlene would die from that fatal dose. >> when you saw the vial and you read what was on the vial, what goes through your head? >> your heart goes thro

murphy: i don't. i mean, the problem is that the gun industry has had such a grip on the republican party here in congress, that it's hard to break. but, sometimes, when these particularly cataclysmic shootings happen, enough republicans are willing to enter into discussions that we can get a breakthrough. i don't know if this is one of those moments, but i'm going to try really hard in the next coming days to find that compromise. judy: are you sensing any movement on the part of your republican colleagues? sen. murphy: i don't know yet. i mean, i have been in conversations all today. i don't know that i have seen any of my republican colleagues have an epiphany. but there's a willingness to sit down and talk. and that's my job, right? i went to the floor last night and told my colleagues that they weren't doing their job if they weren't prepared to be engaged in conversation about fixing this problem. so, i'm going to meet them where they are, sit down and talk about some changes we can make but if

like senator murphy we have school-age children. my two youngest are the same age that could have been in a classroom in texas so yes this is personal. the question here this morning is for senate republican colleagues. how is this acceptable? how are you not outraged? we are outraged. and no, putting more armed adults in schools is not the answer. if more guns was the answer the united states of america would be the safest nation in the world. that it's not. it's the only country where students go to school fearing for their safety. it's the only country where people wonder about their safety going to a house of worship. it's the only country in the world were people wonder if it's safe to go to the grocery store or the shopping mall. more guns is not the answer. we know the answer. you have heard it. assault weapons ban. get rid of large capacity magazines. red flag laws and more. we need to bring this legislation to a vote and hold every member of the senate accountable because i refuse to sit idly by and watch our children die i

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

what murphy is doing is a surprise to me. i know murphy personally. i know he stands along with us in despite, but -- in this fight, but it is time to speak out to all his colleagues in the senate and congress and do things like what he did yesterday. that is why we elected come to do what he did. it was not for them to wait for 19 people to die, 19 kids, babies, to die, so they could take action. we have been try to put things together for the last five years. what they're doing today, we have done every single day without resting, trying to prevent it from happening. the president, members of congress, the senate, and now you see now they're paying attention. i still don't believe we will see results. in the meantime, we will keep what we to best, keep fighting back against gun violence. juan: there have been over 27 school shootings in the united states in just five months of this year. we're seeing an alarming increase in suicides among young people between the ages of 10 and 24, increased 42% over the last decade. according to a recent report. i

in comes this gentleman, dale murphy, he's a brilliant mind. he's chopped up the deadwood, promoted young players, brought in one of the best young managers. and when he inherited the team, they were at the bottom of the aisle, but he's overseen a worse than their first season. nottingham forest started off for their worst campaign in 108 years, but they're now in the final four. one of the teams that emerges for this will be promoted into the major leagues, the premier league and it's worth 165 million. they call it the richest game in sports. and so when you look at murphy, he's further proof that american men were not quite world class yet at football but were so bloody good at owning teams and also running them. geoff: so you talked about what the promotion to the premier league means financially. what does it mean emotionally for some of these clubs? roger: well, this promotion, which is moving up, there's also relegation. it's like the bottom three teams in the premier league get punished for their dismal performance. in america, if you'v

so here now, senator murphy. >> in sandy hook elementary school after those kids came back. into those classrooms. they had to adopt the practice. in which there would be a safe word that the kids would say. if they started to get thoughts in their brain about what they saw that day. if they started to get nightmares during the day. reliving stepping over their classmates bodies as they tried to flee the school in one classroom. that word was monkey. and over and over and over through the day, kids would stand up and yell monkey. and a teacher. a paraprofessional have to go over to that kid. take them out of the classroom. talk to them about what they had seen. working through their issues. sandy hook will never ever be the same. this community in texas will never, ever be the same white. why are we here? if not to try to make sure that fewer schools and fewer communities go through what sandy hook. he's gone through. what uvalde is going through. our heart is breaking for these families. ounce of love and thoughts and prayers. we can send. we're sending. but i'm here on thi

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

you mentioned senator murphy. your response to senator mcconnell. >> he probably put out the exact same statement after my daughter was killed. mitch mcconnell is a common theme in doing nothing on gun violence. there is no person more significant in the failure to do anything in the senate than mitch mcconnell, and so his statement he can shove it up his you know what means nothing. don't put out a statement, mitch. walk into senator murphy's office and tell him you want to be the one to change this today. >> i hear you loud and clear. when we look at this as people, and we are still people trying to live together in this pluralistic society on nights like this, and the president is going to be speaking here just over an hour from now, what else would you say to the families going through it, to the parents going through it, to people who are as you mentioned the horrific collateral damage, personal, emotional community in addition to -- to the 15 killed? >> i'm sorry. i -- after my daughter was killed i had hope

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

and to my friend, senator murphy, thank you. because there are people in this country who want to do something about this. unfortunately, they all currently live in one political party. and senator murphy's been fighting this fight for a long time. you're in texas right now, where the shooting happened in texas, the senators there are not like senator murphy. the governor there, he's not like senator murphy. that lieutenant governor, he's not like senator murphy. in fact those -- i'm trying hard not to curse, nicole. but i'm shaking. but i'd like to tell them all to go f off because what they did, what they do, the way they politicize guns and violence led us to this day where -- and i don't know what the latest number is. i think we have 14 dead. parents, loved ones, who their world is spinning. who right now have to think, how am i going to plan a funeral? who right now have to think, what kind of casket? who right now have to think, all i did was send them to school. and i have to plan their funeral. and i have to write a eul

i want to read you what senator chris murphy said. he is a good guy, he is trying. he said, as he is walking off the house of the senate floor, he said spare me the bs about mental illness. we do not have any more mental illness than any other country in the world. you cannot explain this to the prism of mental illness because we don't. we are not an outlier on mental illness. what do you say to the people who are trying to get the mental illness excuse when these massacres happen? because it is true. there is mental illness all of the world, there is video games, mental illness. there is isolation, in sales, everything. the massacres are only happening here. >> i agree. and there are solutions that we can do in terms of someone who is troubled because we know -- we know -- that there are signs that come out. there are events that escalate into these things. people do not just snap and then take their weapons and kill other people. especially going into an elementary school -- that is not an everyday behavior. however, chris murphy is absolutely right. he is a champ
