murkowski did not support and collins did support.assioned speech on the floor of the senate to support him. thanks, aishah. let's bring in mike davis, the former law clerk for neil gorsuch. president of the article 3 project. mike, good to have you with us today. >> thank you. >> it is very clear and i know it's very clear to susan collins as well, she's a very smart woman a smart senator, she understands what precedent is. but i think a lot of people in the country misinterpret when they hear someone say that something is settled law. here's some examples of those moments from the nomination process for now justice gorsuch, justice coney-barrett and just tis kavanaugh. watch. >> i would tell you that roe versus wade decided in 1973 is a precedent of the united states supreme court. it has been reaffirmed. >> it's settled as a precedent of the supreme court and entitled precedent. >> roe is not a super precedent. calls for the overruling have not creased but it doesn't mean it should be overruled. it doesn't fall on a small handful o

i don't see susan collins or murkowski changing the rules of the senate. the rules of the senate would require 60 voteso enshrine roe v. wade. unless you blow up the senate, that's not gonna happen any time soon. as conservatives you would need 62 votes. you have a full assault on the constitution by the left. they want to do away with electoral college. they want to expand the number of judges on the supreme court to pack it. and now they're pushing bernie sanders to change the rules of the senate. the senate will hold. the 60 vote requirement for legislation will hold. if you left it up to bernie sanders and elizabeth warren, they would blow the senate up to get their way. the constitutional provisions restricting their ability to win, those be damned. we want to change america to get outcomes and conservatives are gonna fight and we're gonna uphold the constitution. i don't think joe manchin or murkowski or collins are gonna blow up the senate because they're disappointed with this court ruling. i don't believe that. i pray they will not. >> i want to e

it is a bipartisan bill with senators murkowski and lujan, which will provide desperately needed resources for communities grappling with substance use disorder crisis and to ensure efforts are based on what we know is effective and lasting. one thing you talked about, the stigma, there is more work we can do to help people understand medication assisted treatment is the gold standard at this point. and really is effective. last quick question. several cities and regions are seeing an increase in new synthetic opioids that are even more powerful than fentanyl. which is, from what i understand, the power of fentanyl, it's hard to comprehend. how is ondcp working with scientific and law enforcement organizations to develop ended -- and deploy field testing kits that are able to detect these new even more dangerous synthetic drugs? dr. gupta: thank you, senator. we know that with synthetic, there is a very important shift that has happened recently in the drug policy world, a shift from plant-based to synthetics. with those synthetics, pandora's box has been opened. we can expect to see much

murkowski: thank you. i ask unanimous consent that privileges of the floor be granted to my first session summer interns for the month of june. harold monroe, graceland gore, charlie, dustin, and braxton zinc. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. murkowski: thank you it. i i have come to the floor to speak about a measure that i will be introducing this week with my colleague from california, senator feinstein. we've entitled this the bill bruce's law in enemiry of a young alaskan, robert bruce snodgrass, who passed away in anchorage last october. bruce is the son of sandy snodgrass. sandy is with us here today in the senate gallery. bruce and sandy lived in california when blues was younger, before -- when bruce was younger before moving back to alaska. sandy likes to describe alaska as bruce's true home. bruce was a good kid. he was a good kid. but, like many good kids, he struggled with alcoholism, he struggled with drug addiction. and he and his family were far too familiar with this, as his g

the other is a conversation with a woman here who specifically called out susan collins and murkowski-- and accountability needs to happen, especially since they made a commitment of holding women's rights. let's take a listen. >> i received a text message from joe biden's campaign yesterday saying that the supreme court could overturn roe v. wade. and that is my responsibility to then rush 15 jewelers to the democratic national party. and i thought that was outrageous. because my rights should not be a fun raising point for them. or a campaigning point. they have had multiple opportunities to codify roe into law over the past 20, 30, 40, 50 years, and they have not gonna. and if they're gonna keep campaigning on this point, they should actually do something about it. >> you have to codify right. you are not impotent. you are elected officials. you can do something. that is a message i really want to give here. you are in charge! stop asking us what you're gonna do. you do it. >> at one point that last minute we spoke to also cited susan collins, susan murkowski as well, who said they

it is why they lied in precedent to get past gullible senators like susan collins and lisa murkowski to get on the court, in the first place. women became second-class citizens today, full stop. and this court majority? oh, they're not done. clarence thomas in his concurring opinion sent out a duck call to his fellow christianists to send daddy cases that will allow him and his five fanatic wrecking crew friends to wipe out legal same sex marriage and legal same access relations and even access to birth control. speaker nancy pelosi warned the only viable option left for the majority of americans who support the right of women to control our own bodies is to take out your vengeance at the polls. >> this is deadly serious. but we are not going to let this pass. a woman's right to choose, reproductive freedom is on ballot in november. we cannot allow them to take charge so that they can institute their goal. which is to criminalize reproductive freedom. >> joining me now senator amy klobuchar of minnesota. and senator, thank you so much for being here. i watch you on tv all day and so

senator lisa murkowski led negotiations -- even announcing an agreement. >> i strongly support, and ibelieve that congress should enact a bipartisan reauthorization of the voting rights act. >> but murkowski was the only republican to actually vote for the bill. short of the number needed to break a gop filibuster. so maybe, hopefully, this time will be different on guns. we need it to be. but we also need to stay engaged. to stay motivated. even if this framework passes, there would be more we could do to keep our kids and family safe. as the president said, keep marching. take your anger to the polls this november. let your representatives know this is a tough issue for you. joining me now, an msnbc political analyst, former member of the biden transition team and former under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs in the obama administration. also with us, mariana, congressional reporter for the washington post. thank you all for joining us. mariana, i want to start with you. how are democrats reacting to this news. are they feeling disappointed or feeling like

>> thank you, senator murkowski we cannot do business as usual. and what i mean by that if we just sent the money out we would do what we have always done. what we are trying to say is we have to have a plan. i want to look at what you are proposing to do and then we will find your proposal particularly where it has hadad community support. that is one thing. >> could take a long while. taking down peoples trees, getting that community support, developing those plants. it would not have these plans in place? >> not that component of it. because at a lot of those cases particular on private lands we are already having state fire assistance when the proposals come in we are already issuing money to states now to work on things like that. i was referring looking at a whole fire shed. to talk specifically about your locations i would have to look at what is really being requested in alaska. now in termsif of fire we have e conditions you describe we have the ability now to reposition helping land owners do that in partnership of the state. >> let me a

. >> senator murkowski. >> thank you to senator murkowski for her patience. >> thank you. an important question. we are certainly seeing that in my state. it is good to see you. we are not experiencing fires like new mexico has seen this year our fire season has begun. yesterday's paper has three fires in the south central area. one really concerning in the southwest which we usually regard as tundra country two miles from saint michael's. we are on alert. we had a superbeautiful fabulous spring and summer. this is an alaska tan that i am sporting and we love it but we are really afraid right now. the fire alert is so intense and so high, the ground is crackly out in places like bethel, you expected in places like fairbanks but it is not a good place right now in terms of fire threat. we are all on high alert so the question for you this morning is how we can do a better job in the preparation and mitigation efforts so we can respond effectively when we need to, when we are called upon. we put 3. 3 billion to the forest service and the infrastructure bill specifically for

but there are two, specifically senators murkowski and young, who i think are particularly fascinating. both because they are in cycle, but also for murkowski, she's in a tight primary race against a trump-backed challenger in alaska. she's one of the people who is consistently bipartisan and also consistently on trump's vendetta list, so as we look into the dynamics in the senate of what got us to this point in the house, those are really interesting things i'm paying attention to, and then again, of course, all of the things in this bill, the fact it's touching not just mental health and school safety but also incentiviing red flag laws, closing the boyfriend loophole, establishing new offenses for gun trafficking and clarifying who is even considered a gun seller. all of these tightening that process and coming together, and again, the most significant package we have seen in decades. >> so it's a couple hours debate on the floor. when could this conceivably be sent to the president's desk? >> that is the open question here, because congress is about to go into a period of some rece

. >> senator, murkowski. >> thank you to senator murkowski for her patients. >> it was an important question. we are certainly seeing that in my state. chief, good morning. it is good to see you. while we are not experiencing fire like new mexico has seen this year, our fire season has begun. yesterday's paper has three fires up in the south central area near skwentna. one is really concerning out in southwest, which is what we usually regard to as thunder country, it is 12 miles from st. michael. we are on alert. we have had a super beautiful, fabulous spring and summer. this is unalaska tan that i am sporting. we love it, we are really afraid right now. the fire alert is so intense, and so high, the ground is so crackling out in places like battle. you kind of expect it in places like fair banks. it is not a good place right now in terms of fire threat. we are on high alert. the question for you this morning is how we can do a better job. in the preparation and mitigation efforts. so we can respond effectively when we need to, when we are called upon. as you well know, we have put 3.3 bill

you >> senator murkowski. >> thank you mister chairman. madam secretary, i think it's important that i am here as the last member of this committee to ask my questions because so much of what my colleagues have hit on, unfortunately, comes back to my home state of alaska. the front page of the anchorage daily news this morning talks about high fuel cost, the village is paying $15.99 for fuel. their stove oil is now at $16.47. throughout alaska we are about $5 a gallon. this is not just alaska, hours of just more extreme. as you know it has an impact on the most vulnerable. unfortunately this headline follows the headline earlier this past week with the announcement of the cancellation of the cook inlet leases. again, if you are concerned about your energy prices and you live -- you are one of the 400,000 people that live in the south central area that rely on natural gas coming out of cook inlet, now we are seeing the articles following about how the producers are going to be able to fulfill the contract for natural gas for people, there,

. >> david, what did you take away from your moments with senator murkowski? >> well i have already known. i believe our country is a lot more united than you think we are. americans who are at republican voters and gunners, liberals, not gonna nurse, they need to demand that our congress act and the with a belief we can. we need to get something done, something substantial, not something just that is a talking point. something actually truly substantial. lawrence, there's one thing i wanted to say that we want tonight. i want everyone who's watching, every parent or anyone to take out a photo on your phone right now and look at a photo of your child. look at a photo of your best friend, your significant other. i want you to imagine the last time that you had a great time with them and everything. now i want you to imagine them being killed tomorrow. because on february 14th, the day before the shooting at my high school, we also thought this could ever happen to us in florida as the safest community in florida. i need everyone watching this to get activated b

died with john mccain, so so and then we get left with sort of well what susan collins and lisa murkowski doing what about mitt romney? mcconnell after his great speech or as he was condemning trump. he's later said well, i couldn't go against all the other republicans. they were all the other republicans many of them would have rallied to convict trump if mcconnell had and by the way, i don't know how rob portman and lamar alexander and any number of the others lived with their records in the last four years. thank you all.

mitt romney you have you see utah, shelley moore capito of west virginia, joni ernst of iowa, lisa murkowskialaska and todd young of indiana, senator pat toomey of pennsylvania was absent of the vote but came out in support of it. mean of those senators are from america's most conservative states, indiana, utah louisiana west virginia. what were the numbers in the last elections, every one of those states except for maine went to donald trump in 2020. you're seeing a color coded of the map, some are entirely red. so if you care about democracy you have to ask how many of those voters went to the polls in the last election hoping above all to elect leaders to support gun confiscation of law abiding americans? not very many. so what we're seeing here, to be clear, is a subversion of democracy. you get to vote for whomever you want in this country, it can be a republican, a democrat, a liberal, a conservative, but in the end you're going to get the very same thing every time. you're going to get a weaker u.s. dollar. you're going to get more pointless foreign washings and you're going to get a

died with john mccain, so so and then we get left with sort of well what susan collins and lisa murkowski doing what about mitt romney? mcconnell after his great speech or as he was condemning trump. he's later said well, i couldn't go against all the other republicans. they were all the other republicans many of them would have rallied to convict trump if mcconnell had and by the way, i don't know how rob portman and lamar alexander and any number of the others lived with their records in the last four years. thank you all. i'll kind of do a slight introduction i think as i know to before this topic is always intrigued me partly because i have a son who's adopted and he was in an open relationship. and so there was a lot of dialogue with the birth mother about why she chose to have an adoption as opposed to an abortion and so it's been kind of close to my heart. it's also been something that's always been in the forefront as long as i can remember as a child. about abortion and i think it's interesting that you know, just a few a month ago roughly when i was reading the the rowe family i

in fact, senator murkowski was one of the 14 republicans who voted to advance the bipartisan gun legislation. she is the only republican up for election this year. and, what's notable is that this is the first time where the senator doesn't faced a partisan primary. she is standing for election in front of all alaskan voters because, in 2020, alaskans adopted a ballot measure that replaced both parties primaries with a single non partisan primary. so, all the candidates compete in one election. all the voters get to participate on that valid. the top four finishers go to the general election and, through an instant runoff, whoever wins the majority of support gets elected. and so, it gives voters more voice and choice of election. and it incentivizes candidates and leaders to campaign and be responsive to the whole constituency. not just the 10% who may vote in a partisan primary. now, imagine if additional states were to adopt this reform we could have dozens of our elected leaders in congress, finally being able to be responsive to the majority of americans and not the political extremes.

mitch mcconnell has privately said that he is for that as has publicly lisa murkowski and joanie ernst said that should be considered, as did mitt romney. i don't think that's going to happen. but on a parallel track, today house republicans -- the republican leadership in the house spoke for the first time and steve scalise himself, katy, as we all know, a victim of gun violence, nearly died just a couple of years ago. he discussed -- he said that we're not getting to the root cause, which is, you know, they were a.r.-15th 50, 60 years ago and this wasn't happening and there's no prayer in school and we should be focused on that. i pushed him several times in a somewhat contentious exchange about whether he is even for red flag laws. he wouldn't answer. so the house republicans are just in a completely different place than the senate republicans. but again, i'm a huge skeptic when it comes to congress time and time again. i do see this senate package coming together. >> i want to ask you what ali vitale just got from senator cornyn that he felt the timeline was a bleak timeline? is it

lisa murkowski still has her primary. donald trump supports her.> the wager behind this legislation on the part of gun control advocates at least in part, folks like senator chris murphy, a democrat of connecticut who has been the party's biggest loader on the issue is if you do anything on gun control and get republicans to vote for it, then they turn out to be fine at the ballot box, it opens a wider in the future. that's very much a glass more than half full view of the possible political implications. but the fact that so many republicans are willing to take this vote in the senate, it recalls the vote on infrastructure. including the specific folks willing to cast their votes. it's a willing shift and a lot of people who aren't actually on the ballot. >> it's going to be interest figure they would try to go small on dhaka and the dreamers. there's a template for doing things and then making steps. but this is washington. >>> ahead, the country needs a pat moment. the january 6th committee agrees and it's trying to pressure the former council t

that's why radical, pro-abort types like collins, murkowski and others, even they had to vote againstw. so let's be clear, the democrats stand for partial birth, last second infant side which means sticking a big needle, shoving it in the top of the head of the baby, draining out their brain, turning it around in the womb and pulling it out by its feet. that's why you never see graphics on these news shows explaining exactly what the democrats stand for. that's what they stand for, that's what they would do. maria: well, mark, i mean, remember a couple of years ago when andrew cuomo ruled that it would be allowed to have an abortion up income the ninth month -- until the ninth month really was an incredible moment, and the world watched the celebrations going on in new york at that time. so we know likely where new york is going post this. but let me get your take on the broader story of what's happening in america right now. and you wrote about this in your most recent book. there is a marxist thread that appears to be traveling throughout this economy and if this country. and i beli

i've introduced bipartisan legislation with senator murkowski, senate joint resolution 1, which would rescind the e.r.a.'s arbitrary ratification deadline. the house has passed its legislation and it has 51 cosponsors in the senate. after the equal rights amendment itself was first passed by the senate in 1972, congress changed the he seven-year deadline to ten years setting precedent for such activity and authority. there is no deadline in the e.r.a. itself. legal enactment of the equal rights amendment to the constitution should take place two years after two-thirds of the house and senate and three-quarters of the states ratify. nevada ratified the e.r.a. in march of 2017, illinois in 2018 and virginia in january of 2020. article 5 of the constitution contains no time limits for the ratification of amendments. the states finally ratified the 27th amendment in 1992 regarding congressional pay raises more than 200 years after congress proposed it in 1789 as part of the original bill of rights. that amendment is now part of our constitution. the e.r.a. time limit was contained in a jo

because i think we could learn a lot. >> senator murkowski, you and i, i went to visit. you and i went up to alaska and when i left you i went right down to alberta and talk to all our friends there. i was on a bipartisan way, we are both very embarrassed that our country did not turn to ourselves. alaska was not asked. our producers in america were not asked. our friends in canada were not asked to step up production, help us, help the rest of the world and keep us independent. who were trying to do is a common sense approach. west virginia's are asking the same questions that you're asking in alberta and all over canada, the same as you're asking in alaska. that was the reason i thought it was imperative that we invite our friends down, to show the interconnecting that we depend on each other. and we, can basically, do an awful lot and make north american energy not only energy independent, but we can help our allies around the world. g7, all of, them we can bring all our friendly countries in. that's what we're trying to do and use all the best technologies. you will

joanie ernst voted yes, lisa murkowski and todd young have voted yes to proceed., they might pick up more votes on cloture and on final passage. we'll have to see. but they have the votes right now to get this thing through and we do not anticipate that to change. >> jake sherman, we will be looking for that interview coming up in punch bowl news. thank you for joining us this morning. >>> still ahead, we'll go to business news and so much for hopes of a big rally on wall street. look at that, folks, red, red, red everywhere on the futures board. we're live with cnbc to find out just what is going on ahead of the opening bell. t is going on f the opening bell (mom allen) verizon just gave us all a brand new iphone 13. (dad allen) we've been customers for years. (dad brown) we got iphone 13s, too. switched two minutes ago, literally right before this. (vo) now everyone can get a new iphone 13 on us on america's most reliable 5g network. for every customer. current, new, everyone. to show the love. what do you think healthier looks like? cvs can help you support you

it is a bipartisan bill with senators murkowski and lujan, which will provide desperately needed resources for communities grappling with substance use disorder crisis and to ensure efforts are based on what we know is effective and lasting. one thing you talked about, the stigma, there is more work we can do to help people understand medication assisted treatment is the gold standard at this point. and really is effective. last quick question. several cities and regions are seeing an increase in new synthetic opioids that are even more powerful than fentanyl. which is, from what i understand, the power of fentanyl, it's hard to comprehend. how is ondcp working with scientific and law enforcement organizations to develop ended -- and deploy field testing kits that are able to detect these new even more dangerous synthetic drugs? dr. gupta: thank you, senator. we know that with synthetic, there is a very important shift that has happened recently in the drug policy world, a shift from plant-based to synthetics. with those synthetics, pandora's box has been opened. we can expect to see much

i don't think joe manchin, sinema or murkowski or collins are going to blow up the senate because thereisappointed with this court ruling. i don't believe that i know this is something he felt personally passionate about with regard to life you have fought for heartbeat laws and pain lots of the course of your career pretty and spent a lot of time in the senate started now president joe biden. he has evolved dramatically want to think about the things he said on friday about what a somber day friday it was. i want to play for everyone what he said in 2006 about this issue, watch. >> i do not view abortion as a choice and a right i think it is always a tragedy. and i think it should be rare and safe they think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions there ought to be a common ground and consensus ground to do that. >> averted that joe biden go senator asked the guy that ran in the guy we actually is president are two different people he ran as a centrist he is in governing the most radical way what happened is a radical leftist taken over the democratic party but he

senators joni ernst, shelley moore capito and senators todd young and lisa murkowski who are up for re-election. lawmakers say the $15 billion fully paid for package invests in school safety and mental health services. enhances background checks for gun buyers age 18 to 21. sends millions to states with red flag laws, which allows authorities to temporarily remove firearms from those who may be at risk to themselves or others as long as they provide due process. and, closes its so-called boyfriend loophole by banning those who have abused a dating partner from owning a gun for five years. the package does not include some changes president biden called for like a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. still the nra opposes the deal co-sponsor senator john cornyn doesn't think the nra will influence the republicans this bill needs. >> i think most people will not allow any outside group to veto good public policy. >> and, bret, jewelry says is supposed to start next week. leader schumer wants to see this bill passed in the senate by the end of this week, but house leadership won't c

murkowski's opponent in oklahoma and trump's former doctor at the white house running for reelections. again, even the people who know are not drawing a line saying i will not work for candidates who repeat this. >> i mean, pretty much when he was in working for donald trump, there's always this deal where trump will -- they will back trump, and if he says something they don't like, they may behind the scenes go oh, this is wild, whatever. but as long as it benefits them, they will stick with them. that's what they're doing in this case. that's what the bill stepiens of the world are doing. they have a base that wants to hear that's eating that up. they're willing to go out and do what benefits them and support the candidates who are selling that same lie. they are doing what benefits them. whether that is sustainable for a democracy is another thing. it's probably working out just fine for bill stepien, and the candidates he's helping are doing the same thing. they want a trump endorsement, especially running against cheney, she wanted extra leverage to try to defeat liz cheney. it'

the one way we might see it play out is lisa murkowski. she is someone up for reelection. ballot rushing toward this measure as something they think will be helpful to them in this election in response to his point. >> we are likely to be sitting at this table next week having the same conversation about abortion rights assuming they don't change it and strike down roe v. wade, then the question is what happens in politics. we're having this discussion today, the 6-3 decision by the court says the new york state law, they didn't give a reasonable reason to restrict gun access. the governor says we'll continue to fight. >> as governor of the state of new york my number one priority is keeping new yorkers safe. today is supreme court is sending us backwards in the efforts to protect families and prevent gun violence, and it's painful that this came down at this moment, when we're still dealing with families in pain from mass shootings. >> it is striking, but inevitable. now gun rights today, most likely abortion rights next week. a country that is pretty evenly divided and c

i'm susan collins and murkowski think that they put people on the bench -- they rely too, they were dupedyour turn, you have to join with democrats and get rid of the filibuster and you have to codify our rights. you are not impotent. you are elected officials, you can do something. that is a message i would really want people to hear. you are in charge, stop asking us what you're gonna do. you do it. >> let's talk abortion care as a parenting issue. especially with those two mothers in mine. -- making that very case -- telling a big part of that story just through the numbers alone, and share these peace. 60% of patients who had abortions had at least one child -- that's from 43 states. and of those who did not have children at the time there portion, 66% later started a family according to a report by the national abortion federation. i want to bring -- in joining us good to talk to you. talking about some of these. numbers one of the things we're learning now, a lot of people don't necessarily know, a lot of folks seeking out these abortions are people who already have children at home

lisa murkowski from alaska may vote to this, but she faces a primary this year. you look at marco rubio from florida, rick scott. scott signed a red flag law and talks about that. rubio has also pushed red flag laws. i think we'll look at -- we'll see where, you know, where does jody ernst and chuck grassley of iowa come down? joni ernst is the leadership. and grassley is in cycling phases, re-election in november, not sure he'll go for it. they are split, and the closest allies of mitch mcconnell will support this. the ones we have to watch for, john thune, senate minority whip from south dakota. again, up for re-election. you'll see westerners and first-term republicans i think they'll oppose this. you'll see more senior republicans. i think they will take a look at this legislation. i don't think it will get a majority of republicans, but anything again is a step forward on this issue. >> yeah. and you've been speaking to people who have been paying their respects at robb elementary in uvalde. what is their reaction? >> reporter: this news has been met with a

that are not election liars, specifically i believe that's the alaska senate candidate to go after murkowskiwyoming congressional candidate to go after liz cheney. >> that part bothers me less. it's mercenary and all that. the part that bothers me is that the team normal guy who says he was obliged to be honest and tell the truth, only did so under a subpoena. >> right. >> like he let donald trump go out and lie about all these things and peddle all this stuff. and he told donald trump the truth to his face, but he didn't go any further than that until he was actually drug before a committee. >> that's all part of the grift, though. the idea that any one of these individuals in real time could have make a difference, a stand of honor, but instead they're playing the i was just doing my job, while bill stepien and his campaigns have benefitted from $230 million of trump capitalizing on election fraud. >> rudy giuliani took to twitter today. he didn't like the fact there were a couple individuals in the testimony yesterday, jason miller and bill stepien, suggesting maybe he had too much to dri
