crime has alaskans very worried. the increase in crime across the state and they are calling for more troopers and other officers. what would you specifically do as governor to reign in crime related to drugs? >> i would increase the penalties on those in the state of alaska. though opioid crisis is out of control. i'd work for the federal government. we have a coastline -- i'd work with the federal government on potential he prosecuting these individuals. looking at the enforcement side we need to get tougher on these folks. we also need to make sure we do have programs that help folks get off of this addiction if they truly want to get off of it and make sure the programs are research-based and work. these are the two approaches i would use. >> mr. begich crime related to drugs. >> you bet. it's definitely a major problem. the number one issue that i care about traveling through alaska. a couple of things you can do. i could deal with this when i was mayor of anchorage. you can go one step further. over the sample

it has alaskans very worried. the increase in crime across the state beyond calling for more troopers and other officers, what would you specifically do governor to rein in crime related to drugs and addiction? start with mr. dunleavy. >> i would increase the penalties on those that are dealing drugs in the state of alaska. harsh withpretty those individuals if they're going to deal death to our citizens. the opiate crisis is out of control. i would work with the federal government, interdiction. we have the coastline that's bigger than the rest of the lower 48 put together. i would work with the federal government on potentially prosecuting some of these individuals because they have stiffer penalties at this point. enforcement side, we need to get tougher on these folks that are dealing death. we also need to make sure that do have programs that help folks get off of this addiction off it truly want to get and we have to make sure those programs are research based and actually work, but they would be least two a

gary, you tell me, what are alaskans saying to you about kavanaugh?well, they're telling as you lot and it's all quite interesting. i do want to start by telling y you, though, brooke, that all across this country there's intense lobbying for and against brett kavanaugh but the most influential group of people in the supreme court saga might be, could be indigenous alaskans. catherine martin is an indigenous alaskan, a member of the traditional council. while she and about 100 other natives in this village may be far out in the alaskan wilderness, they are all in on the debate happening in washington. how many of you want to see judge brett kavanaugh be confirmed and end up on the supreme court. who doesn't? all of you? >> yes. >> yes. >> reporter: there are tens of thousands of indigenous people who live in alaska. in past senate elections they have voted overwhelmingly for lisa murkowski, whose vote is key in determining whether brett kavanaugh makes it to the supreme court. everyone supports murkowski because they say she understands their way of l

urging murkowski to vote no. >> and as an alaskan native, you are almost ten times more likely to beictim of sex crimes than other alaskans. >> wow. >> and so as an in in in community member, there is an epidemic in our state and this issue of how survivors are treated when these issues are uncovered speaks very much to the heart of that. >> reporter: so it's directly related to the allegations against him is one of the things that motivated you. >> yes. >> murkowski. >> reporter: they're part of murkowski's electorate that could be hard for her to ignore. native alaskans played a critical role in her 2010 reelection. >> i'm hoping that she will remember that it was the alaska native which helped carry her 2010 historic write in campaign. >> reporter: despite traveling thousands of miles, cordelia and misty were turned away. onit it. had people we need to speak for ourselves and we are demanding it. >> reporter: but appeals to swing voters like murkowski came from the other side and other states. these three women, who say they went to high school with judge kavanaugh, hope to urge t

if you recall, there's the native alaskan issue. it feels like manchin and collins will go together. the one i have a doubt about is jeff flake. i think he's -- i think -- i'm less -- i'm more convinced he votes yes today, but i wouldn't assume a yes today for him would be a yes tomorrow. today, remember, this is just breaking the filibuster. >> this is ending the debate to move on. >> it used to be 60 votes, today

i listened to the views of alaskans and have continued to do so up until yesterday. those who are in favor, those who oppose. and if my first meeting several weeks ago with judge kavanaugh, we discussed that in length and great depth. his view on a lot of alaskan legal issues. that wasn't the first time i had met judge kavanaugh. in fact, i had known him back when we served together in the bush administration. i knew him as an honest and dedicated public servant, and i actually followed his career as a judge on the d.c. circuit u.s. court of appeals. the lengthy meeting in my office convinced me that he is someone who will interpret the law and constitution as written. he understands the importance of separation of powers and federalism, holds a healthy skepticism regarding the expansive power of federal agency in that he is a strong protector of the second amendment. all issues that are very important to my constituents that they care deeply about, which is why i focused on these issues in my discussions with judge kavanaugh in my office several weeks ago. i was con

alaskan tribes are included on the list of federally recognized tribes, and the fact remains that native hawaiians are not. this is a distinction, this is a difference. i am one who, in this body, i have said, i would like to see native hawaiians there. i worked with my friend senator akaka to help advance that. i've supported those. but the fact remains that the constitutional status of alaska natives and the indian commerce clause are simply not at play with this nomination. i don't believe that. so the question fairly asked, say that you think he's going to be there on issues that matter to alaskans, that you have taken strong positions on. the reason i could not support judge kavanaugh in this cloture motion this afternoon is that my role, my responsibility as one senator on this floor, i take this obligation that we have in the role of advice and consent as seriously as anything that i am obligated or privileged to be able to vote on. and so i have a very high standard. i have a very high bar for any nominee to the supreme court of the united states. the code of judicial conduct rul

it's our way of life. >> reporter: alaskan natives considering themselves a modest people.y of them are not particularly modest about the political influence they believe they hold, which they think senator lisa murkowski needs to keep in mind. just last week, indigenous alaskans were arrested, while protesting outside the washington, d.c. office of alaska's eother u.s. senator, dn sullivan. nobody expects sullivan to vote against kavanaugh, but the message for alaska's other senator is loud and clear. >> so if lisa murkowski votes ultimately to confirm kavanaugh to the supreme court, what will your thoughts be about lisa murkowski? >> she won't have my support in the future. >> reporter: how do you feel about that? >> she won't have my full support, either. >> what about you? >> i wouldn't -- i would not write her name or put a check marc by her name. >> reporter: would any of you still vote for lisa murkowski? >> no. >> no. >> reporter: no. so you're counting on her to vote "no." >> yes. >> reporter: on kavanaugh. >> yes. >> reporter: and would you be surprised if she did

this latest moveveontinues the trtrp administstration's targetg of the alaskan arctic. last year legislation to allow drilling in the arctic national wildlife refuge was quietly added to the republican tax code overhaul. in january, the white house proposed a massive offshore oil and gas drilling plan to allow it in nearly all federal waters, including sales off the alaska coast. the arctic refuge is rich in biodiversity and home to caribou, polar bears, and musk oxen. millions of migratory birds gather there from across the world and whales reside just offshore. it has also been home to generations of indigenous people for thousands of years. we are joined now by professor subhankar banerjee, activist, photographer, and professor of art and ecology at the university of new mexico. author of "arctic national wildlife refuge: seasons of life and land," and editor of his the exhibitioion, nature's nation: american art and environment, at the princeton university art museum, through january 6, 2019. subhankar babanerjee, , welcomeo democrcracy now! talk about the significa

department of justice it was found that more than four in five american indian and alaskan native alaskan native women eighty four point three percent have experienced violence in their lifetime this includes fifty six point one percent who have experienced sexual violence and forty eight point eight percent who have experienced stalking however the most disturbing thing is that according to the same study ninety percent of native american women have experienced violence at the hands of a non tribal member and the only thing that has allowed victims of violence on reservations to get justice is the violence against women's act joining us today from portland oregon to discuss this topic is native writer and award winning journalist jacqueline keeler thank you so much for joining us today jacqueline. thank you for having me thank you so the violence against women act was passed in one nine hundred ninety two which i want to make i want to add was coined the year of the woman because of the impact of anita hill's one thousand nine hundred one testimony and the record number of women that one

you talked earlier about murkowski having meetings with alaskans.r collins been having meetings with mainers about this subject? >> she has. their phones have been ringing off the hook for weeks on this issue. collins for better or worse since the health care vote has been the senator in this congress that received the most focus from both sides. she's seen as a swing vote on almost everything. it is interesting to hear one woman in morgan's segment talking about the idea of maine as a state turning red. new england as a whole has been almost now completely blue. collins is the last republican to represent any new england state in the senate. used to be this whole separate breed of northeastern moderate republicanism that faded away in the last decade or so. you can see why that is and how challenging it is to be a republican moderate in this environment, so yeah. collins has been very engaged, been coming to her as aggressively as they can as much as alaskans, but this is a senator in the cross hairs of the debate. >> garrett, thank you so much. go

and so we -- we need to have some level of flexibility for those many, many alaskans who -- who move between many of these seasonal employment opportunities. under the prior rule, a short-term insurance plan could only last for three months. well, that -- that's not going to help out, say, those in the fishing or the tourism industry or -- or, again, so many of these areas where you need -- you need longer term coverage but you don't need a full year. so flexibility is something that people have been asking for as well. where that sweet spot is, i'm not sure. i'm telling you that for us, three months doesn't make it. maybe three years is too long. maybe we do need to look at that. i happen to think is i think that we have to have some trust in both our states as regulators and the individual, the consumers. the rule that -- that we were speaking about this morning really does allow states a great deal of leeway in regulating at the local level. we are seeing that amongst many of the states. i had a long conversation with our director of insurance up in the state of alaska, talking ab

lisa's big part of her base are native alaskans. so i don't think this hurt her at all. thing, a really nice thing to pair with steer daines -- as a dad who walked a girl down the aisle, i know what a big day this is, and i would have missed the vote. and yet the democrats will complain about joe manchin, but they understand why he voted the way he did. people will complain about lisa, about you they yond stood. when you win, you don't take hostages. when you win, you move forward and try to bring everybody back on the team. >> and in alaska, the es affordable care act is a big deal. and she may decide in 2022, she may decide to run for governor like her fathers did. >> it doesn't matter. they thought the vote was right for her state and you can't argue that. >> she did, and the president sees alaska as a big giant red state, but you make the point votes it's a very unique state, and she listened to her constituents. >>> everybody stand by. we'll take a quick break. a lot more on the other side. howdoing great dad!r does this thing got? looking good babe! are you filming

catherine martin is an indigenous alaskan.he and about 100 other natives in this village may be far out in the alaska wilderness, they are all in on the debate happening in washington. >> how many of you want to see judge brett kavanaugh be confirmed and end up on the supreme court? who doesn't? all of you. >> yes. >> yes. >> reporter: there are tens of n thousands of indigenous people in alaska. they have voted overwhelmingly for lisa murkowski. everyone we talked to in this village strongly supporting murkowski because she say they understands their way of life and changes. >> our senator, lisa murkowski, knows that. >> so there is great sympathy for kries teen blasey ford among many and among everyone we talked to in this village. >> as a survivor of sexual abuse, i think it takes years for people to come out with this. you know, as some victims come out with it immediately. but some victims it takes them a while before they are able to talk about it. i think this is what happened this with lady. >> i think he is against wo

is it wishful thinking for these alaskan women? we don't know.ight window on the senator's process. >> just a couple of things. it will be interesting to see if judge kavanaugh's op-ed in "the wall street journal," which he basically addresses the temperament issue, would affect senator murkowski in any way, because as she, according to one of the women, she talked about temperament being one of the issues e she's looking at in addition to the fbi report. but i want to drill down. specifically, you heard from two women in this group, attorneys -- alaskan attorneys who met with murkowski. one of them told you, she believes the senator will vote no, that's just her belief, not anything that the senator directly said to her, and the other woman you talked to was not sure. is that correct? >> well, no. one of the women said she went into the meeting think that the senator was definitely going to vote yes. she came out of the meeting now thinking preponderance of the evidence, she thinks she'll vote no now. the other woman i talked to is reasonably su

a really really tough time for survivors and i just i want to say that i'm really proud to be an alaskan today i'm so incredibly proud of my senator we're sending a message to survivors i'm a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault and my experience as an alaskan native woman who was homeless in alaska for many years was that i was discarded and thrown away i was not believed and and my mission is to make a way for other people that are coming behind me so that our doors are open so that we change this narrative about not believing women and about not valuing vulnerable people and so i just want to thank you smart koski so much for standing with us and i and i hope that you stand firm. more head on this news hour including. i was all of a job on the iraq syria border and i'll tell you why thousands of women and children previously associated with are stranded with no future prospects. and in sport two of christianity or not those biggest sponsors voiced concerns about rape allegations against the football player. it was exactly one week ago this friday that an earthquake and tsu

alaskan tribes are included on the list of a federally recognized tribes and the fact remains that native are not, this is a distinction, a difference. i am one that in this body have said i would like to see native hawaiians there. i worked with my friend when he was in this body to help advance that. i supported those. but the fact remains that the constitutional status of alaska natives and the indian commerce clause are simply not at play with this nomination. i don't believe that. so the question fairly asked, say that you think he's going to be there on issues that matter to alaskans? that he will have taken strong positions on. the reason that i could not support judge kavanaugh in this cloture motion this afternoon is that in my role, my responsibility as one senator on this floor, i take this obligation that we have in the role of advice and consent as seriously as anything that i am obligated or privileged to be able to vote on. and so i have a very high standard. i have a very high bar for any nominee to the supreme court of the united states. the code of judicial conduct rule,

and trying to protect the oil payments, incumbent governor cut them in half and so for a lot of alaskanstunity for jobs and so they rely on oil revenues to offset seasonal income and so when you have a democrat basically, basically democrat incumbent governor which walker was slash those, i mean, it's essentially like a tax increase and so that's what the republicans are running on. he's saying he wants to keep taxes down, he wants to keep the payments in place from the oil revenues and govern the state in a way that is sustainable and i think that it's resinating and mark who is democrat got voted out because he was 60th vote for affordable care act, i don't think he would have return. i think it's close, the polls that we have seen have him 4 to 5 points but, you know, honestly republicans got to take any pick-up opportunities they can get in a year like this. rob: let's take a look at the poll here, alaska governor race, you can see the republican if we pull that up at 48%, so it's pretty tight, let's broaden this out. not a lot of chances for the republicans to win many governors' ra

alaskans are used to bizarre elections, ted stevens was only defeated because of a federal corruptionict a week before the vote. senator lisa murkowski lost her republican primary, then retained the seat with a stunning victory. mike appeared to be cruising to end easy win before the shake-up, and now appears unfazed. >> both of these guys were running to the far left to begin with. we designed a race running against an individual on the left, and right now things are working well. >> the republican governors association is still confident, but a lot less so than a couple of weeks ago. they know they will lose some of the current 33 governor seats they have in next tuesday's election, but they have always viewed alaska as their best chance for a pick appear >> bret: dan springer, or just in anchorage. thanks. in alaska and almost everywhere else in the country, health care is one of, if not the most important issue. many democrats in house races are pushing for a major step towards a single-payer system. tonight, our correspondent tells us what that may mean for you and your family. >

for one thing separate from the brett kavanaugh issue, she has a problem with indigenous alaskans who don't like him. she also has a lot of liberal women including my mother and all of her friends who actually like her, even though she is a republican and see her as being a fair person. so i think that there is a real independent streak in alaskan women and i think that lisa murkowski could end up showing that. that said, she is a republican. she is, you know, a member of the republican party, so you can't predict it. but i think of these people, she's the most likely to vote against him. >> jeff flake has all but told us he's a yes vote, that he was happy with the investigation. he saw no corroborating evidence for professor ford's claims there. susan collins seems to be leaning towards yes. you want to know the definition of political mayhem? if murkowski votes no, sort of then what happens then? it's going to be a crazy few hours if we start to get a sense that that could happen. and one thing that's interesting. this is a little mop up. you were in the bush administration. i know

so the question fairly asked, you say that you think he'll be there on issues that matter to alaskansave taken strong positions on. the reason i could not support judge kavanaugh in this cloture motion this afternoon is that my role, my responsibility as one senator on this floor i take this obligation that we have in the role of advice and consent as seriously as anything that i am obligated or privileged to be able to vote on. so i have a very high standard. i have a very high bar for any nominee to the supreme court of the united states. the code of judicial conduct rule 1.2, this is one that many, many people in this body know. it states that, quote, a judge act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence, integrity and impartiality of the judiciary and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety. and i go back and i look to that. it is pretty high. it is really high, that a judge shall act at all times, not just sometimes when you're wearing your robe, but a judge should act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence. p

village and regional cooperations that shares individual alaskan natives hold. this is a novel system for facilitating the united states' trust responsibilities and arguably not in keeping with what judge kavanaugh believes deserves constitutional protection. that is why native communities across the country including the office of hawaiian affairs, council for native hawaiian advancement, alaska federation of natives, and the national congress of american indians have come together to express deep concern over judge kavanaugh's nomination. in the context of his views on native peoples, i no longer find it curious that judge kavanaugh devoted so much time back then to writing an amicus brief and op-ed on a case that involved native hawaiians. mr. president, i will have more to say tomorrow about other aspects of this nomination. in particular, what dr. christine blasey ford's account of her attack by brett kavanaugh reveals about the nominee, the senate, and american culture. for now, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senato

reporter: she has other pressures related to the native alaskans who were there. there -- there could be part of that pressure that caused herd to be a no vote. the swing votes did start to come down in favor of judge kavanaugh. first was jeff flake, then susan col lidges saying yes. >> despite the turbulent bitter fight surrounding his nomination, my fervent hope is brett kavanaugh will work to lessen the divisions in the supreme court so we have far fewer 5-4 decisions, and so that public confidence in our judiciary and our highest court is restored. reporter: former president george h.w. bush tweeting out his support for collins. political courage and class. i salute my wonderful friend and her principled leadership. democrats, though, still trying. >> the minimum standard for supreme court nominee should be someone who we are confident will demonstrate impartiality, integrity, and truthfulness. but the nominee we are voting on has not demonstrated those qualities. every american is entitled to the benefit of the doubt. but nobody is entitled to a seat on the u
