Chris Murphy 'Red-Face The Nation"

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
He's a man on a mission every day. It's tv
a parent.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, thank you for being with us,
of course, just on this topic. I know you have
a lot of differences with the President, but on this
is this a clear win.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Well, it's really important that we have a cease fire.
It's important that these hostages are coming home, and I
congratulate the negotiators on getting this done. There's no politics
about this moment. As you're going to see some very
tearful reunions tomorrow, hopefully as these hostages are released. But
you watch those devastating images of what Gaza looks like today,

(00:38):
and it's both heartbreaking and infuriating that this deal has
been on the table for over a year and it's
been Benjamin Nett Yahoo, because of his political considerations domestically
trying to protect himself, has frustrated the ability to find
peace and to get the hostages home far before today.
So again, this will be a good week. But as

(01:01):
you have reported, there are big issues to come. Israel
is not fully pulling out of Gaza. There is no
clear path forward on what the security and governance force
is going to look like inside that country. There's certainly
a risk of hostilities beginning again if we don't build
on this first phase and come to some decisions about
what Gaza looks like heading into next year.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
First of all, he congratulates the negotiators, not Trump, not
even Trump's negotiators, not even the Trump administration, just the negotiators,
and then has to drop in there. But this could
have been done a year and alf ago. Why it wasn't,
I don't know. A year and a half ago. Joe
Biden was pre maybe because he had fallen and he
couldn't get up. He had fallen, and you were busy
covering it up. You were busy going on television at

(01:45):
that time saying You've never seen a more vibrant, a
more galvanized force of nature. I mean literally, that was
a year ago about right now.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
President Biden wasn't willing to put this kind of pressure
on Benjamin who President Trump has. Your point is that's
got to be sustained pressure to see this all the
way through.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Understanding is yeah. I mean, listen, I think the barrier
here has been Who's only gonna move if he thinks
that his relationship with the United States is at risk?
And so clearly the pressure is going to have to
continue to be strong and comfortable.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
But what did you say when Biden was refusing to
put that pressure on him, Because he's saying, yes, pressure
needs to be needed to be put on him. CBS
News is Margaret Brennan. She's like, so Biden refused to
put pressure on and yahoo Trump did and this is
the result of it. But he won't keep the pressure

(02:44):
on him. He still finds a way, but he won't
get and he needs to keep the pressure on him.
All right, before we even go there and your predictions,
thanks for being the prognosticator. Where's your crystal ball? Is
it in the green room? You left it there? Your
earl Gray? Does that taste good? What about by? What
were you saying at the time when he wasn't putting
pressure on him, You were cheering him on, You were

(03:05):
telling him not to that it was the right move.
