senator joe manchin described his relationship with the president, quote, it's fairly nonexistent.tionship. adequated maybe if something isn't working you'd say what can i do better? and senator claire mccaskill said, quote, for him eating spinach is schmoozing with elected officials. this is not something he loves. he wasn't that kind of a senator. the times also notes that out of 180 rounds of golf on only two occasions has the president invited members of congress to play. the article says the president's hands-off approach has left him with few allies in congress to help deal with issues and shape his legacy. the white house told "the times" the president is doing all he can to help get democrats elected this cycle and has held 18 meetings this year with lawmakers. >> john, you do the math. >> come on, john. >> in the break, you did the math. you said 180 rounds of golf, if he took three members with him every round he could have played golf with the entire house and senate. >> just the house, i think. that is 540 open slots. 180 times three. >> that is the house and the senate

i fought to power our coal jobs alongside joe manchin.l make sure president obama gets the message. >> one thing i would like to agree with her on is turning the power off at the white house. that's a good idea. pennsylvania is also one of the largest coal producers in the nation. congressman mike kelly is one of the leading voices rallying against the very ridiculous epa rules. he joins me now. congressman, thank you for joining me. good to have you here today. >> thank you for having me. >> when i was hearing the candidate for senate on the democratic side saying she will fight president obama, i'm scratching my head. she made the comment about i'll stand up to leaders on both sides. i'm not aware of any republican who hates coal. are there any? >> listen, republicans have been -- the folks on the other side have been mixed up. they forgot about who made the country great. coal has been the workhorse of the american industry. now this president stated, as you know, governor, when he was rubbing he said you want to continue to make elect

the poster child for this is senator joe manchin.en talking about corporate tax reform for years. his daughter meanwhile grows up and becomes ceo of one of the largest generic drug companies in the world, started in west virginia, moved to pittsburgh. a success story in the stiff pittsburgh. she decides to have her company just a few weeks ago declare itself no long ear citizen of the united states and move overseaso the netherlands. this is a company that makes all of its money off the u.s. treasury by selling drugs to medicare and medicaid which is overseen by her father. first of all he said he didn't know anything about it. second of all he can't do anything about it because the leader of his party and the folks he's working with on the other side of the aisle aren't doing their jobs. >> jonah. >> since this is normally "the five" spot greg gutfeld would have a banned word of the day. the banned word would be economic patriotism. it's an outrageous phrase. used to be the height of mccarthyism to question anybody's patriotism. oba

it was after newtown that democratic senator joe manchin from west virginia, republican senator pat toomey from pennsylvania, came together to sponsor bipartisan legislation to try again to close that loophole that was left open in the brady law all those years ago. the gun show loophole. the toomey/manchin bill would have expanded federal background checks program to include not just anyone trying to buy a gun at a federally licensed gun dealer but also anyone trying to buy a gun at a gun show. that's a lot of people. would have extended background checks to cover basically every private sale. president obama pushed for it as hard as he could and many democrats, most democrats, came together and pushed for it, too, but ultimately, failed to pass the senate. failed to even get enough votes to get a vote in the senate. there weren't 60 votes to break a filibuster to have that real vote. that moment, that was the moment it turns out that president obama has said was the singlemost frustrating moment in his entire presidency. >> i have to say that people often ask me how's it been being presi

it was something to see democratic senators like claire mccast kel and joe manchin says he has no relationshipto be diplomatic but repo thsi the recordotime ave much support among his own party because he doesn't make the effort. this is always a president seems more interested in lofty rhetoric than in the hard slog of making political compromises. stuart: what do you make of this? jeff zucker, president of cnn. apparently cnn cleaning house. we'll do less and do it with less. two former cnn guys, right here, you and i, what do you make of what jeff zucker is saying about cnn. they are under a lot of pressure because of low ratings that zucker has not been able to turn around. no secret he wants to do less news and more entertainment style shows, anthony bored dane and food criticism and the like, that will result fewer bodies at cnn. this hurts cnn in particular because it is reporter-driven network. when you cut back on vast bureaus of cnn across the country and around the world, you're hitting main thing cnn sells. we don't do punditry but have journalistic boots on the ground. stuart: it
