lisa murkowski, if it happened, if it's true. >> but let him put out the transcript.ut more importantly, let them put out the whistleblower complaint because that has more information arguably than just this one phone conversation. it apparently describes a whole pattern of behavior. >> rick wilson, i called you a republican strategist. are you still a republican strategist? >> not anymore. there's no republican party left. it's donald trump's party. and it's a party today that has a bunch of people who used to be republicans who are now having a competition to see which one can lick donald's boots and give him the highest shine every day. but i think what we're really looking at here, i think jennifer's right, there is some nervousness building now and there are guys who are actually like cracking the old wikipedia and looking back at what happened during watergate. 1973 the republican party was screaming that it was a fake news conspiracy by the liberal media against richard nixon. 1974, 49 house members and eight senate members lost their seats. so i think they're

lisa murkowski, the alaska senator voted. she did not voted for him.r, lisa murkowski voted present. he didn't get 51 votes which was odd. the one extra you are supposed to get and yes, he's on court for life. it is absolutely the way that donald trump wants all the time which could lead us to why the republicans were so desperate to get him there with subpoenas, and subpoenas of whether they needed to be listened to and whether donald trump has to follow the rule of law. >> that is a flashback to all of the disgusting things that i thought about brett kavanaugh last year. the technical things, the mysterious debt, and we have no idea where it went. i don't know anybody who spends that much money on nationals' tickets. that makes no sense to me. and then thousands of the legal documents that the administration would not turn forward and then the accusations of a sexual assault i have never heard of one sexual assaulter, and i know that he is the fifth guy in the gang rape and comes in after he is drunk and he can get away with it, and covered pretty mu

was first authorized under the 2017 tax bill, it was a provision that was introduced by senator lisa murkowski from alaska and it actually mandated allowing drilling in anwr. so the bill from representative huffman would simply delete that portion of the text from the tax act. and essentially block any drilling within the alaska national wildlife refuge. >> what's the status of drilling nationwide in the u.s. right now? >> there's really not a ton of offsho offshore drilling happening in the u.s. beyond activity in the western gulf of mexico. so what you're seeing from democrats is really an effort to block any future offshore drilling and from having offshore drilling expand beyond what it already has. >> rebecca beitsch with the hill, she covers energy and environment. follow her reporting at thehill.com. thanks so much for the update. >> thank you. >>> c-span's washington journal live every day with news and policy issues that impact you. coming up wednesday morning, we'll discuss the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks with four members of congress. first, mississippi democratic co

well, senator lisa murkowski, of alaska, a republican and i have had a bill for several months now on this issue. i thank her for her bipartisan cooperation in this effort. it's great to have her by my side. she's a terrific ally. she believes none of these should be on the market until it is proven they are not dangerous to children and they, in fact, do help adults stop smoking and show positive results. i think that's a hard measure, a hard standard for them to meet, and it should be because the alternative is unacceptable. more children addicted to e-cigarettes and vaping. there may be a place for e-cigarettes at some point in the future. i'm not sure where it will be. but as long as they are endangering our children with their products and tear flavors, i'm -- and their flavors, i will continue to fight their efforts. i want to say something else. even in the midst of my battles against big tobacco, i still remember wt my dad went through when he tried to stop smoking, dying of lung cancer, trying to stop smoking. it was so hard and painful, and i watched it as a young boy and sa
