campaign, the notion of the big lie that led to the january 6 insurrection at the center of how they're trying to appeal to republican voters. and i think all of that indicates, that commitment to the big lie indicates a desire to please donald trump and his supporters and not get crosswise with him because it is his power that still fuels the republican party. >> i want you to listen to what senator lindsey graham had to say this morning, david, about the capitol attack. take a listen. >> president trump's speech in my view didn't cause the riot. it didn't help, but it didn't cause it. i think it's important to understand the importance of peaceful protest and a riot. and what happened inside the u.s. capitol, and i was there, was shameful, it was despicable, and the people who did it need to go to jail. >> didn't cause but didn't help it . that's what he's saying now, david, but listen to what he said on the day of the insurrection, six months ago today. >> we've had a hell of a journey. i hate it being this way. oh, my god, i hate it. from my point of view, he's been a consequential brother. but today the first thing you'll see. all i can say is count me out. enough is enough. >> hmm. i mean, interesting. he's trying to say the riot was bad, at the same time letting trump off the hook. david, can he actually have it both ways?

but the fact that trump's approval rating hasn't moved much at all and the big drop that some trump opponents predicted never materialized, well that really isn't surprising at all. polarization, of course, is the word for this era. tribalism even, each side has dug in and not moving. for three years there's been nonstop controversy, and yet trump's numbers have been more stable than any modern president. the high 30s at worst for him, the mid-40s at best. frankly after everything that's come since 2016 before now it probably shouldn't be surprising that even impeachment didn't cause the florida fall out from under trump just as it continues to be unsurprising thathe strong economy isn't giving him a strong approval rating. let's move to the presidential race. joe biden was the democratic front-runner at the start of 2019 and is still the front-runner at the end of 2019. i'm not surprised the attacks on his old senate voting record
opinion, rationally, if we're to be judges, we must see the evidence of the crime that has been alleged. in this case, the articles of impeachment that have been alleged so that we can make up our mind fairly. americans don't go for the idea of hiding the ball. that's what happened with nixon. and mr. trump is courting the same thing. >> let's take a closer look at murkowski. she's sort of an interesting story politically. ended up winning re-election as a write in candidate, so i think she's shown the ability to exercise independence than some of her colleagues in the senate. how far do you think she's willing to take a comment like this, is it just sending a public message, getting a record to mcconnell or is it actually following through and potentially voting against mcconnell on a key procedural question? >> look, murkowski has
>> i don't even see any of that actually going through, past january 6th which is when i think nancy pelosi will send the articles of impeachment to the senate. i was originally of the thought oh, nancy pelosi just wants to let donald trump squirm a little bit, but there's something else happening over this two-week break which is the argument for evidence is growing. and i think lisa murkowski was saying to leader mcconnell you can't be in lock step because i may want to see some evidence too, i may want to hear from some witnesses too. and that's an argument the american people can get behind because if there's a trial, of course there's witnesses. so i think pelosi may have -- i don't know if it was planned or not but done herself a big favor. the trick is to get those articles of impeachment sent over within the first few days that she's back. >> all right, let's take a
tantrum that the president is fond of employing, attacking, bullying, making fun of people. he's just the master of this kind of disruptive and ove over-politicizing process. senator murkowski gives us a breath of fresh air and actual stating of the obvious. if you're going to have a trial, you should have witnesses. you should have access to evidence. you shouldn't have a president saying, oh, you're going too slow now, before you were going too fast. it sounds like the story of goldilocks and the three bears. what was too fast about the impeachment? didn't he have time, the president, to give a sworn statement if he wanted to? didn't he have time to release the witnesses who he has told
