the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia. mr. manchin: thank you. my good friend, the senator from louisiana, has been working on this for many, many years. i think even before i came. i've been here four years now. when i first came, i talked to senator landrieu, my friend from louisiana, and asked her about this and basically i think you explained to me at the time th that, first of all, the sovereign nation of canada, the country, was going to produce it so we had no say into the production of this product. it's going to be produced. and next of all, it's going to go somewhere because there's demand for the product in the marketplace. there's a demand for it. with all that being said, it didn't take my too long to reply to you, i think if you recall, four years ago that in west virginia, we have a little bit of common sense and we've got good people, like louisiana, and we felt if this product is going to be sold and we're buying this type of a product around the world, why wouldn't you buy from your friends versus the enemies that we have suppli

but i do want to respond to a few things and think the senator from west virginia.ave heard colleagues, particularly my colleague from california say this often and she said it in committee. she says that on the floor and even though she and i are opposite sides of this particular debate we have worked together in some several important legislation for our country. i have such respect for her leadership on the restore act which was an amazing piece of environmental legislation for our gulf coast states. without her leadership they would not have happened. i have heard her say over and over again elections have consequences. and this one does just like they all do. one of the consequences of this election is that a clear path for keystone has been opened up. the reporters following this legislation which they have followed very carefully know exactly what i'm talking about. a path for passage has been cleared. in my view that path will never ever be clearer than it is today. now in order for the past to stay clear and it is crystal clear today, politics has to be set

state that doesn't have many out of staters, west virginia. but basically republicans gained or were ahead in 19 districts currently and for what looks to be a 17-seat gain. a majority of these gains, and they came within 4% in another 10 district. a majority of these gains came with seats that democratic districting plans or very heavy democratic majorities. arizona, california especially, where you had a supposedly nonpartisan redistricting commissions in both those states but the democrats successfully gained them.. illinois, where republicans gained one seat in heavily upscale north shore suburbs of chicago and gained another seat in the rather downscale, more blue-collar part of the state opposite the mississippi river in st. louis. maryland, where there's one near gain. john delaney, the democrat had to pour a lot of money into that race at the last minute. and a new york state. and it's -- one of the phenomena we see is that when a wave is working against a party, the house seats will be at risk in states where they redistricted. becaus

republicans also got control of the state house in west virginia on tuesday night for the first time 83 years. by this decision, he made west virginia the 30th state in the country where republicans now control both houses of the legislature. complete republican legislative control in 30 states. and we've only got 50 states. elections, consequences. democrats, do you guys have a catch-up plan for the states here or what? because the trend here is obliterating. >>> a doctor mat iblg attack by a hospital patient that injured several nurses in minnesota. the whole thing was captured on a hospital security camera.

in west virginia, 18 inches of snow. in new jersey, a state of emergency after some spots got almost eight. and there was this. lots of reports of thunder snow on the roads. on the i-95 corridor, slush and slope. >>> at the airports, it's catch-up this time. airlines cancelling more than 7,000 flights on sunday. here is a look at the forecast today, so tell us, tell us. >> happy thanksgiving to you. >> happy thanksgiving. it's a great day for turkey. >> there are people waking up in new hampshire, massachusetts, vermont. you're headed out to shovel this morning, and the mountains of west virginia, petersburg was the highest total i could find. an elevation of 2,000 feet, 20 inches. cocker and hampton, 10. portland and hartford had 3 inches of snow. there was snow in the big cities but not a lot. boston, all the way to new york, but a lot of it didn't stick. that snow is exiting. it's snowing still in the state of maine. i-95 north of portland, maine really the only treacherous drive out there. now we're watching snow sho

and i'm honored to be the first woman elected as a west virginia senator. i say it is about time.he republican party that i belong to does represent a big tent, a variety of interests. and i think that you saw that all of these smoke screens thrown up, war on women were basically denied last night. by having more women candidates, more people of color, i think it really helps us strengthen our appeal to the american people and then i think it also hells for people to listen to us whhn they hear different voices. >> the president today and i pnow that ou are in a very conciliatory and celebratory mood, made it clear that his personal view of things is whatt he is goinggto take to capitol hill. he was less interested it seemed to meeto hear from mitch mcconnell who is presumably the majority leader to be here. is there something that you see right now that would align with the president's agenda that could be forged ahead or is there in this simply an impasse because of the philosophical differences between the two parties? >> well, i think if the president had campaigned in a lot o

georgia, north carolina, virginia, west virginia, and new hampshire. if the republicans only win one of those and they're pretty well assured to win west virginia, then they can still take control of the senate but it's going to be a long night. if republicans win three or four of those five, it's going to be a great night for the gop. >> okay. now, i know you know georgia very well and that's one of the races which is held by a republican now who is retiring saxby chambliss, so you have david purdue the republican businessman running against michelle nunn the daughter of sam nunn the former democratic senator there. you know that state well. how do you see that going? because democrats have been pounding david purdue about his comments about outsourcing jobs? >> it's a very close race right now. michelle nunn was ahead a couple of weeks ago but it's part of republican candidates starting to do better. david purdue has started to pull ahead. the critical question is whether either candidate get over the 50% mark. if not, they go into a runoff that does

the senator from west virginia would know. to know where they are today in four years? they have moved from 36 to six. i want to let that sink in for just a minute. north dakota move to their number from 3650 to six out of 50 in four years. i challenge any senator from any part of this country for any political leaning to come back to this floor in the next 24 hours and show me one more -- one piece of legislation, one tax cut, one jobs bill that could move a state in four years, or a group of states from 36 to six.

he did say, i think we can find common ground to help the people of west virginia. as you know, in west virginia the president is very unpopular, so i appreciate that sentiment. i want to find that common ground. i look forward to that. >> but he didn't put much meat on the bones. >> well, no, it was late. you know, i'm going to take what i can get at this point. >> in his news conference the day after the election, the president was unwilling to say that he's going to change any of his policies or change the way he does business. and he also seemed to almost dismiss the message from the voters on tuesday night. take a look. to everyone who voted, i want you to know that i hear you. to the two-thirds of those who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, i hear you, too. do you think the president gets it, gets how unhappy voters are with with him and the democrats? >> not really. those comments we saw right after the election, when he says he hears two-thirds of the people that are not voting, what kind of message could he possibly be getting? i think the

senators, the largest number to date when shelly moore capito of west virginia and joni ernst of ioware sworn in. there will be the same number of female senators, 20, and possibly a 21 after a december runoff decides the fate of louisiana. one democrat kay hagan was unseated. in the u.s. house a record 81 women will be serving three women remain in races still too close to call n new york republican elise stefanik became the youngest woman elected to congress and north carolina's representative alma adams became the 100th woman elected to congress. with one-third of voters going to the poll it is appears the gender gap helped republicans not democrats this year. women made up 51% of the electorate down from 53% in 2012. voters under 30 made of 13% of all voters down from 19% in 2012. congressman norton, it was -- congresswoman norton it was older and whiter than two years ago, where were the young voters and single women? >> you will see the real america out next time. that should give the democrats time to finally figure out how to get to the polls during midterms. the democratic ma

>> well, i think his policies were definitely on the ballot, certainly here in west virginia. the energy policies in particular, if you look across the country, you see states like west virginia, colorado, montana, alaska, louisiana, all energy states, where the president really -- his party really struggled. so i think that a little humble pie is always good. i probably think that he should have taken more responsibility for that because his policies absolutely have been rejected here in west virginia. it's costing us jobs, costing us confidence. and you could see that in the ballot box. >> senator-elect, i'm wondering, though, jack welch here, the former head of ge, he was wanting to hear anything approaching what bill clinton said after his party was mightily humbled 23 years ago this month in the gingrich republican rout back then and he didn't hear it. a lot of other republicans didn't hear it as well. a lot of democrats concerned they didn't hear it. what do you make of what tone he'll be exhibiting in the next two years as a result? >> well, i think we have to start whe
