BERMAN Maura I want ░░░░░░░░ ask you also about ░░░░░░░░ comments from Alaska Senator ░░░░░░░░ Murkowski technically an independent ░░░░░░░░ she votes with Republicans ░░░░░░░░ is a longtime Republican ░░░░░░░░ that She says she ░░░░░░░░ that sometimes there are ░░░░░░░░ on her side of ░░░░░░░░ aisle afraid to speak ░░░░░░░░ Listen Okay I guess ░░░░░░░░ don t have Clip ░░░░░░░░ MURKOWSKI We are all ░░░░░░░░ Okay It s quite ░░░░░░░░ statement I m I ░░░░░░░░ oftentimes very anxious myself ░░░░░░░░ using my voice because ░░░░░░░░ And that s not ░░░░░░░░ Clip ends BERMAN Anxious ░░░░░░░░ using her voice because ░░░░░░░░ is real Maura I ░░░░░░░░ if you re anxious ░░░░░░░░ using your voice How ░░░░░░░░ do you think the ░░░░░░░░ is GILLESPIE I m ░░░░░░░░ because I think that ░░░░░░░░ a Republican and I ░░░░░░░░ not going to just ░░░░░░░░ up on being a ░░░░░░░░ and I think that ░░░░░░░░ Murkowski is also in ░░░░░░░░ same boat of recognizing ░░░░░░░░ the party is going ░░░░░░░░ exist and stand long ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump but what ░░░░░░░░ will look like is ░░░░░░░░ be seen because there ░░░░░░░░ so many people who ░░░░░░░░ sat by and been ░░░░░░░░ and refused to stand ░░░░░░░░ against him You re ░░░░░░░░ you know Jerome Powell ░░░░░░░░ has recently just said ░░░░░░░░ know He can t ░░░░░░░░ me It s illegal ░░░░░░░░ are very few people ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration and ░░░░░░░░ world who will say ░░░░░░░░ stand up to him ░░░░░░░░ that s why you ░░░░░░░░ the problems that we ░░░░░░░░ seeing right He s ░░░░░░░░ by yes men And ░░░░░░░░ of that there have ░░░░░░░░ so many mistakes made ░░░░░░░░ every idea that he ░░░░░░░░ is given this Oh ░░░░░░░░ s gold it s ░░░░░░░░ And instead it s ░░░░░░░░ thought out and pushed ░░░░░░░░ on a little bit ░░░░░░░░ nuance it and finance ░░░░░░░░ to make it a ░░░░░░░░ idea because some of ░░░░░░░░ ideas that come out ░░░░░░░░ sound But I do ░░░░░░░░ that Murkowski is saying ░░░░░░░░ what a lot of ░░░░░░░░ feel and she s ░░░░░░░░ giving it a voice ░░░░░░░░ far as being worried ░░░░░░░░ the repercussions But again ░░░░░░░░ your job is on ░░░░░░░░ line okay that s ░░░░░░░░ thing but I think ░░░░░░░░ having a moral compass ░░░░░░░░ more important.”
