lisa murkowski succeeded her father who held that seat for many, many years. alaskans for many decades. on top of that, electoral reforms, open primary. lisa murkowski is never going to get primaried from the right and she won an independent race for the alaskans where it was a write-in vote and voters had to spell murkowski correctly and she still won. i'm dubious how much money and energy donald trump is really going to put in two years from now. >> that's a good point. although, she's up in 2022, which is already next year. hard to believe. john, let me talk to you about the coronavirus relief bill that passed the senate this weekend iechl thought it was interesting when former president obama reacted saying elections matter and we're seeing why. how big of a deal is it that democrats passed this alone, they didn't get any votes from republicans? >> it's a big deal, because it's obviously signature legislation from joe biden. they actually reigned in the bill on several levels, including removing the minimum wage and some elements that had been controversia

democrat is going to defect because there's no sign of that but more as to whether one republican, lisa murkowski, peels off and votes for this deal. >> senator murkowski has said, i'm going to see what's in it. we already know there are some things in it that are clearly not covid related. but i'm looking at some of the things that will provide a level of relief for a state like alaska. is this lucy on the football again? are we holding our breath for lisa murkowski as so often democrats on the hill do thinking there might be one republican who they can peel away but then it doesn't happen? >> well, i don't think, alisyn, the white house is counting on lisa murkowski's vote. i think they are playing a longer game than that here. they are trying to build some sort of bridge. you know, president biden talked a lot about trying to pull the country together, achieve bipartisanship. exceedingly difficult to do in this environment. yes, you can get support from republicans around the country to some degree. anywhere from one-third to half of republicans in some polls have indicated sympathy for this b

she's meeting with lisa murkowski today and murkowski has emerged as this is the vote you're talking about, whether you have the votes or not is going to come down to lisa murkowski and john cornyn has teased up when asked why are they meeting that murkowski is looking to raise drilling on public lands and anwar with the administration. is this worth it? >> well this is what happens when you have 50/50 senate. every senators is the most important if they decide to make a deal. and the white house has to decide whether or not the deals are worth it. the question is what does she want. but this is a kind of horse trading that typically happens in some of these things. and we'll see what she said. but with a 50/50 senate and the closest majority in the house since world war ii, you're going to continue to have razor thin votes and this is the new normal for the next couple of years. >> and the covid relief bill, one example if you will. you've got now the progressives in the democratic party who are mad. they want to see essentially more fight from joe biden for the minimum wage increas

and obviously, this would help lisa murkowski. if she gets what she wants, to bring home goodies back home to alaska for a 2022 re-election race. >> lauren, as we've been talking about, investigators are looking into whether there was some witting or unwitting coordination between lawmakers and the murderous mob. and congresswoman zoe lofgren is taking an interesting tact here in terms of showing what led up to january 6th. what's she doing? >> well, what we saw yesterday is that loftgren actually quietly released a nearly 2,000 page report that chronicled every single member of the house of representatives who looked at overturning the results of the election. and of course, not every single member had a lot of social media presence, but some members had a ton of social media posts, right after the election, and then leading up to the insurrection on january 6th. and that is significant, because you have a democratic member, the chairwoman of the house administration's committee, essentially keeping track of what her colleagues w

i mean, him saying he's going to support lisa murkowski. i mean, he's going to potentially face some challenges, if the former president does actually follow through on these threats to primary some people who voted to impeach him or makes a major show of it. now, it doesn't necessarily line up with some of the swing states that are going to make or break mcconnell's attempt to take back the senate, but what do you think the dynamics are there? who wins that fight, mitch mcconnell or donald trump? >> well, you'll remember this, kasie, but lisa murkowski won a write-in campaign back in 2012 for the senate. >> she did. >> i think you and i were working together at that point at politico. seems like aeons ago. but listen, i think that donald trump and -- mitch mcconnell has been a savvy political operator. he has been savvy in protecting his members, his republican members from these kinds of challenges. and i think mitch mcconnell's goal is to get people into these races that can win. if donald trump starts going into races and targeting incu

she sent tweets about lisa murkowski and other folks she would need to be confirmed. till a holdout? is there a chance she might vote for tanden despite everything. >> i mean, this is an easy one. if you just look at politics and you want to remove neera tanden and mean tweets, i can just tell you this is an easy one. at least in my day people will be lining up around the white house going, yeah, i'll vote for her. by the way, the hurricanes really messed up some small businesses in northwest florida. i'm worried about that. but we can talk about that later. but let's talk about neera tanden. why is this -- i mean, this is so easy for her. oh, you said a mean tweet about me? great. can i get something for alaska? can i get something to help my state? can i get something that the people of alaska need for a vote, for a woman who is qualified but -- yeah. gene robinson, this is easy. i understand tweets upset a lot of people. i wouldn't know about anybody tweeting bad things about me. i have a feeling lisa murkowski cares about mean tweets as much as i do. if you're in t

no, we're not getting rid of lisa murkowski. we're going to stand by her.s is critical to the whole notion of the republican party at war with itself right now. it's going to get resolved in these 2022 primary fights. if, indeed, lisa murkowski withstands the primary challenge on adam kissinger or others -- you'll see other republicans say maybe trump isn't the path forward. that's where the republican party voters are going to have their say within the party. >> and don -- >> finish your thought. >> no, i was just going to say either mcconnell wins and all he cares about is control of the senate or trump wins, and all he cares about is getting rid of these people, and he cares about the fact that he can tell the american public he didn't lose and is still a winner and is still powerful enough to get rid of the people who dared cross him. so mcconnell has a different goal here which is the republican party and trying to save it. >> yeah. gloria, i want to ask you about the new york governor, andrew cuomo. the new york attorney general said she can start an

but not good enough. >> did not seem like she was going to get lisa murkowski's vote.r. look, all along most administrations lose at least one nomination, and she was always marked for the one that might be called from the herd because of her controversial tweet and the bad blood that she had with republicans and even some democrats like bernie sanders. but as ron claims on msnbc, still a job in the white house that does not need senate confirmation and they have a replacement for her, another woman of color, shalonda young who already was nominated to be the deputy omd director. >> bret: why not put her up first? if this was sacrificial lamb so that they could give some scalp to the republicans? >> well, i don't think it was republicans that caused the scalp. in a 50/50 senate, as long as you can keep your caucus in line means every single senator has a veto of it. and that's why when joe manchin of west virginia came out against her, and oh, unless the down crust could get someone on the republican side to break ranks they were doomed. they need the 50/50 vote to sen

number one, lisa murkowski, donald trump said he doesn't support her re-election. do you?resident trump has already endorsed a number of senators who are running again for re-election. that is helpful. the president's endorsement matters. in terms of alaska, i want to always make sure we nominate somebody who can win in november. lisa murkowski knows alaska better than anybody and she is an incredible fighter for american energy. she hasn't made an announcement if she is even going to run again. if she does, i'm going to support her. with regard to liz cheney in wyoming, we worked closely fighting the biden administration. this is an administration which policies on energy are devastating. wyoming and our economy and the rocky mountain west. gas up 60 cents a gallon since the beginning of the year. we need to work together every day. i support with her but disagree with her completely on the issue of impeachment. she voted one way and i voted the other. >> but you do support her re-election. thank you. with your phrase when bernie sanders and john barrasso agree on somethi

guest: it comes down to whether or lisa murkowski, who has not made up her mind how she will vote on confirmation, whether the biden white house can convince her to cast a supportive vote. i don't think it is very likely. murkowski was one of the senators that over the many tweets that were sent out and controversial, murkowski was one of the targets. maybe murkowski cuts a last-minute deal to help her own state of alaska in exchange for voting, but i think it is pretty unlikely and tandem -- stand is much more likely than not to be the next director. she has not -- tandon's confirmation is not dead yet because murkowski could ultimately vote yes. and she is meeting with tanden. i think it is more likely than not that she is going to stick with her party. host: and another one, merrick garland. guest: that was a bipartisan pick. i think people were surprised that mitch mcconnell announced his support and endorsed garland given that he blocked him when he was nominated as obama's supreme court nominee. it does go to show the stakes were a lot higher for republicans when it came to the

even in the senate, there were a couple, lisa murkowski, going back to her that i thought we would get. the white house wanted to get a couple of republicans because they wanted this to be a bipartisan piece of legislation. you look at the poll, poll after poll shows this is what the american people wanted. so the republicans are going to have to square this going forward because they have got to deliver for the american people. they can't just stop everybody that joe biden is doing especially given how high the stakes are with this pandemic. >> shannon, you have economists estimating the bill is going to boost growth this year to the highest level in decades. that's encouraging. how fast could we actually see this bill turn, see the fruits this bill after the president is able to sign it? >> well, i mean i know one of the i think everyone wants to know is when they are going get their $1,400 check. >> yeah. >> that is a question we have been asking. the last word we were told is that it is a little too soon to know. it might take a little bit of time for that to all get out there. but

that was actually lisa murkowski that alaska republican swing vote who offered that amendment. measures like that that have had bipartisan support have generally been adopted. the other changes that have been made have been done with the blessing of the white house and the senate democratic leadership. the core tenets of the bill have not been changed despite republican efforts to gut and change. democrats are confident this will get done. chuck schumer making remarks probably saying they are on the path to getting this finally completed here within the next hour as they finish the last couple of votes and then get into final passage but this could be a huge victory for joe biden. republicans will say that he did not reach across the aisle and work with them to try to get this through but nevertheless $1.9 trillion in relief, a massive relief package, one of the biggest in american history, could be closer to getting to the president's desk. >> manu raju, we'll check back with you. manu says perhaps the white house will be happy, core tenets virtually unchanged. we'll find out

that is how lisa murkowski has always operated up here on capitol hill. she is sophisticate asked a thoughtful member when it comes to making sure that if she's gs to vote for something, there's going to be something she's likely getting in return. keep your eye on what that could be, of course. a critical meeting today on capitol hill that will likely seal the fate one way or the other for neera tanden for the office of management and budget. >> i'm so curious what the quid pro quo might be. what would be the trade? politics is all about that. we'll see if it comes through. lauren fox, jeremy diamond, thank you so much. >>> former president trump is threatening revenge against republicans who turned against him and attempts to send a message to others who might do the same. we're going to have more on his attempted return to the political stage next. >>> we're also moments away from the opening bell this monday on wall street. take a look, futures all pointing higher this morning, of course a lot of focus on the stimulus package and what's going to happe

votes here, but i think they are trying to see if there are ways that they can keep somebody like lisa murkowski possibly in conversation with them, because they would love end of the day to even have one republican vote. >> yeah. very interesting. david, thank you so much for sharing that with us. we appreciate it. >>> cnn is learning that capitol police requested a two-month extension of national guard troops and that's being reviewed now by the pentagon. comes as security is already beefed up at the nation's capitol today. federal officials warned domestic extremists may launch another attack, and that is because march 4th is the day that qanon conspiracy theorists absurdly believe that former president trump will somehow retake the presidency. cnn shimon prokupecz is on-scene for us. >> reporter: brianna, security here at the capitol on high alert. the capitol police here along with the national guard, as you can see, over this way. there are several national guard troops. more than a dozen, and through the day they've been streaming back and forth and then you have this military vehicle her

i know democrats have been working on lisa murkowski. there's some aspects that she likes and would be beneficial to her state. any sense that any republican votes for this? >> i don't anticipate any republican senators voting for the bill, neil. the house of representatives, not a single republican voted for it. the democrats could have gotten a lot of republican votes. the bills were passed last year passed on average with more than 90 votes in the senate. they decided to go down on this party line path. kamala harris will come in several times in the days ahead to cast tie-breaking votes. >> neil: you mentioned the vice president, sir. there's talk among progresses go ahead and overrule the parliamentarian and push this minimum wage $15 feature in the package that is unlikely. i don't think she can do that. leaving that aside, you and senator mitt romney came up with an alternative to raise it to $10 an hour over four years or something like that. i'm wondering what was the ultimate reception you got on that? i think we'll re-visit th

i have a very good relationship with lisa murkowski, we hope they will start joining us for the good of the country. >> leader schumer, next week do you expect immigration infrastructure. >> still sounding hopeful there, saying good relationship with lisa murkowski, she voted no but in the end a 50-49 passage of this $1.9 trillion relief package, and you saw senate majority leader chuck schumer there rather victorious, calling it a very fine day, calling it one of the most important pieces of legislation in decades. joining me on the phone is ohio senator sharrod browne, you heard the majority leader saying republicans tried to trick us but it didn't work. how do you assess the road on getting to this passage? >> it clearly was a bipartisan effort. bipartisan in the sense that the american public wanted rental assistance for people that were about to be evicted in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of the winter, people wanted us to move forward to reduce the child poverty rate now. people wanted us to help unemployed workers, and getting kids back in school and money in people'

the best they could do was kick off a few republican senators take mitt romney or lisa murkowski.imately, they would still have to go through reconciliation, it would delay the passage of the bill that it needs to go out to help some of the most disadvantaged, hard-hit workers and americans because of coronavirus. that is the white house argument. that said, biden's campaign message and inauguration message was all about unity and bipartisanship. this is about as bipartisan an opportunity as you can get in trying to get benefits and assistance to people who have been hard-hit by the pandemic. there was a lot of room for a bipartisan package if that is what biden wanted to do. he had a meeting with 10 republican senators, but ultimately, did not offer any compromises. ultimately, he went fully partisan on this thing. i think that it is going to pass. i think ultimately, the politics of this are going to be determined by the state of the economy in 2022. if the economy is good, if it is rolling along, i think biden is fine. i think for some reason, if we had a hiccup whether it is p

one republican senator, lisa murkowski, is someone to look out for. she has an amendment that will be considered here in a matter of minutes. we expect her amendment to actually be included as part of the bill. will that get her to back this, ultimately? that is still a question. even without her support democrats do have enough support to move forward because they're using a fast track process that allows them to essentially pass this bill with only 50 votes and they have 50 seats in the chamber. one republican is missing right now. so kamala harris as the vice president does not need to come in to break a tie. when the bill passes, $1.9 trillion, impacting so much of the u.s. individuals and families, money for schools, money for cities and states, money for vaccine, food and nutrition assistance, so many people affected by this bill. ultimately it would go back to the house for final passage. we do expect house democrats to mostly stick together and push this bill through and try to get it onto joe biden's desk. the goal among democrats all along w

as we talked about with leigh ann, lisa murkowski is certainly one to watch and the white house has tried to listen to some of her concerns as well. but the jobs report is a snapshot that they are at least in this initial phase using as another kind of reason in the list to move this measure forward and to try to put pressure on democrats to hold even as some of the other topic areas come up in the amendments battle that goes on today. so for the white house this is a bit of good news, but also a sign that action needs to be taken. hall? >> kelly o'donnell, jo ling kent, leigh ann caldwell. thanks for your great reporting. >>> there are new developments as far as what happened in the january 6th riots and investigation into the insurrection. a political appointee of former president trump has been arrested in connection with that attack on the capitol and was allegedly still working in the administration with top secret security clearance at the time. federico klein worked as an aide in the state department. in court documents it is alleged that he was seen on video assaulting police offi

liz cheney, mitt romney, little ben sasse, lisa murkowski, susan collins, pat toomey, the list goes onlicans. who's nikki haley talking about? >> well, it's the old deflection. you know, point at the folks who are covering the news that you're making as opposed to the newsmaker themselves, which are herself and the president and a lot of the folks you listed there. there is an internal struggle. it's going to get covered by the press and you can see the press is making this up. but those of us in this battle we're here to say otherwise and the question for nikki haley is which side do you want to be on when you go into this fight. you can't straddle this line, i'm sorry, you may try but you will get cut in half and it doesn't work. you have to decide whether you're going to stand with the country and create a governing majority, and have a party that has a resonance with people, or you're just going to, you know, wallow in conspiracy theories and lies and, of course, the idolatry of donald trump. pick a side. you can't have it both ways. that's the fault line a lot of folks are going t

but also i think it should be pointed out that lisa murkowski just recently torpedoed the over fears a further decline in the oil and gas industry there. you have got some former president trump's campaign people like tim murtaugh who our working for you, do you expect to get the endorsement of president trump, do you want it, and would it help? >> i would love to have the endorsement of president trump. he is very popular in alaska. i spoke at his first fundraiser for his presidency when he ran in 2020 and i work for his administration for to years in dc and he won the votes of the state of alaska twice because of things like opening up oil and gas development after pushing back six decades of restrictions. something that murkowski didn't help us with for the to decades she was in the senate, speaking of her vote to shoot down the deputy of the interior she was also the one that passed out of committee the nomination for the department of interior from joe biden even saying she had reservations and didn't raise a single question on her position on oil and gas leases and permits up h

if you are saying lisa murkowski, or susan collins.t you going to want to support a $1,400 check to your constituents as covid relief? it's extraordinarily popular. if they move forward with a $15 minimum wage hike, which they probably won't. say they decide to do that as a stand-alone bill. they are popular even, like, in the state of florida. the state of florida passed a constitutional amendment that would hike the minimum wage up to $15 over time. these are two extremely popular pieces of legislation. say tom cotton and others, josh hawley, who are trying to pretend they're populists. this is the sort of legislation you think they would embrace. >> he did embrace the $2,000 checks. david perdue and kelly loeffler needed that to try to win the two races. obviously, they lost. being the opposition party in washington, mitch mcconnell's job is incredible hard because of what you spent the first hour talking about, josh hawley, ted cruz who want to run for president. this was a strategy he think worked when obama was president. there's

ben sasse, mitt romney, lisa murkowski, those who voted to remove the president because i think they did it at great personal cost. that shows leadership. liz cheney, with her strength and ability to stand up in front of a tough crowd and tell the truth, that's what america needs more of. they need more of truth-telling, more of presenting light in the darkness. we have to start with our own party. we can point fingers at the democrats, sure, but it is not going to do any good. now every party, especially the republican party, has to look inside after january 6, and say what have we become and where do we go from here? and reaching out to donald trump and more of the same is not going to do that. >> brennan: you spent some sometime thinking about foreign policy, are you disappointed that just like president trump president biden did not take action against the saudi head for not taking direct action against jamal khashoggi. >> talking about this is very important because the saudi crown prince responds to public shaming. i think there has to be behind the scenes capability. once we s

make a fuller investment rather than pare it down for those trying to get the susan collins, lisa murkowski type of vote. the second is about this type of messaging. they think democrats didn't take enough credit for the good they did in 2009 for the economy, and that hurt them in the 2010 elections. we're going to hear a drumbeat of democrats say over and over and over, this is what the party gave you. it's delivering on its promises. they hope that helps them in the midterms. a quick word on the dr. seuss/mr. potato head. republicans are focused on this not just because it's an issue that motivates their base, but they think their base is motivated by that long-term question of who has societal and cultural power? that is what this stuff is really about. it's not really about the gender of the potato or the canceling of the book. it's about who gets to have a say in what is popular and what is not, what is mainstream and what is not. they think their base is worried about the long-term loss of power from the kind of traditional and white and mainstream -- what we have determined has been

we know mitt romney, liz cheney, susan collins, lisa murkowski, ben sasse oppose trump and adam kinzinger. your reaction to that? >> i think a lot of those people oppose donald trump the person and his tweets but i would suggest to you that if you dived down and ask them what do you disagree with on the policy of making america great, i don't think they come up with anything. some of them got caught up in the cult of personality there. i think democrats have egged that on. i think they want desperately there to be a continued discussion about the personality of donald trump and his aggressive nature. i like it. i like that donald trump plays offense. i think there are a lot of republicans that don't like to play offense. they just want to sit back and maybe be democratic light, think that is the pathway to success. i happen to disagree with that approach. but policywise donald trump from immigration to foreign policy to energy, taxes, deregulation, that is the core of the republican party and it should be. it's a very conservative approach. elizabeth: yeah. you know, trump also celebrated

. >> the democrats don't have grandstanders like mitt romney, susan collins, lisa murkowski and pat toomey. of course the warmongerer, a person that loves seeing our troops fighting, liz cheney, how about that? >> you may be wondering why we are talking about trump at all given his lies? we are because million of our fellow americans still buy into those. >> he's the best president in my lifetime and has done more for us than all presidents put together. >> it's clear trump still has an iron grip on this party, but if he loses control of the party at least he'll always have the cpac golden statue. with me is the founder of country over party and was the chief strategist of the bush/cheney 2004 campaign. i am old enough to remember five years ago when donald trump walked away from cpac because there were conservatives questioning whether or not he is conservative enough, and now he's the bell of the ball or at least the golden statue of the ball. what does that tell you about what has happened to the party over the course of the past five years? >> well, it's become -- great to be with you.

the white house was focused on repu republican senator lisa murkowski. it wasn't they couldn't lock her in but they still had issues with senator bernie sanders and k kirsten cinema. this has come to an end and in a letter at the president tonight making clear she saw no pathway forward and thus the white house is withdrawing the nomination, anderson. >> do you know if the president has a replacement in mind? >> there is a number of names batted around in the course of the last couple days. everybody saw this coming at some point. one person to keep a very close eye on is young, a well-known congressional staffer. r very behind the scenes and wide partisan and lindsey graham said he would support her nomination to be deputy director. a couple republican sources about an hour ago made clear. one told me she will cruise if she gets nominated. that's not a sure thing. the president makes the selection. the white house has publicly been saying they are not considering anything else. young is up for deputy director and definitely one of the top tier names tha

there was thought that lisa murkowski could be that one republican, but it was not in the cards. once it became clear that tanden did not have a path, she announced that she was withdrawing the nomination. she will probably land in the administration elsewhere in appointed job. president biden indicated he will find a place. but there's a real hypocrisy here, brian. remember, not only did republican senators stand by president trump day after day after day when he was issuing mean tweets of his own, but they also voted to confirm richard grenell to be u.s. ambassador to germany, he later became the acting director of national intelligence. he has a twitter profile on par with tanden's, if not more hyperbolic. in the attacks he makes on various political officials and journalists as well. >> frank, you watched today's hearing knowing that some members of that committee prefer to work by gaslight. how would you sum up the job the fbi director did in light of that? >> i think chris wray spoke truth today. and he spoke truth to some people in the room who continue to perpetrate lies.

. >> so you brought up lisa murkowski signing on to this, this was a push to get someone like her to say yes to this? you are the first to tell me, jake sherman. >> i'm always here to tell you things first, katy. i think that murkowski is showing her independence streak a little bit. she indicates that she's not going to vote, but i think that each republican, especially those like mur cow ski, listen, as we spoke about before, it is difficult. republicans supported almost all of these provisions in the past, right? that is a difficult equation for some people and you have to be twisting yourself into a pretzel. i could not make that prediction today. we're a long way from the finish line in a sense, but i do think that, you know, someone like her has to consider it. >> what is the big difference for the republicans? there is now a democratic in the white house thank you so much. still ahead, $500 a month, no strings attached. how an experiment is talking about how to tackle poverty. >>> the explosive system for the commanding general for dc's national guard. onal guard r. which make
