>> i would tell you that you have someone from west virginia that is joe manchin that is that type ofperson but look at what has happened over the last midterm election cycle most is the conservative blue dog democrat is on. so now you have hard left progressive socialist that believed in the collective. the fact that mary andrew is fighting hard i know the results of the of though to of the keystone xl pipeline and they already say we will veto any way. here is an opportunity for the misstates of america to consume resources to undermine vladimir putin but yet you have a radical environmentalist that refused to see the objective truth. look at cushing okla. a creates jobs and wealth with is the unemployment rate in north dakota? o. because of the block in an oilfield. how come you cannot take that truce? that is the problem we have incredible ideological separation. will we continue to be a constitutional republic or a welfare nanny state? that is the separation riyadh on right now. if people of the welfare nanny state side then democracy cannot exist that the only realize they can v

. >> former chief of staff to west virginia senator joe manchin. chris, do you think that president obama is going to come on camera. i than he is on vacation in hawaii, but as i stated earlier in my take, there are cameras in hawaii. do you think that he will come on camera as he did with eric garner and michael brown several times? >> i don't know whether he will or won't. he came out with a statement with these terrible killings. my advice to the president would be to come out and say something. there's yovlt -- there's a lot of emotion, a lot of anger and frustration going on right now. i think this is an opportunity where, you know, where a president could come out and help kind of focus the country on what matters, and so if i was advising him and he was listening to me, i would say do it. it would be a positive thing, and it would be a powerful statement. >> wow. well, maybe he is watching right now, and he is listening to you. larry, i know you agree with it, but isn't it the right thing to do based on the fact that if he doesn't, it makes

amazing unity on the democratic side from elizabeth warren, through hillary clinton, all the way to joe manchin and some of the more conservatives. you look on issues like minimum wage and equal pay and infrastructure construction, helping people pay for college, the democratic party is unified and if we put together a strong economic message aimed at the middle class not only will it unify our party as the republicans are truly divided, but we can actually, actually do really well in 2016. >> let me ask you about that, because nancy pelosi on the house side tried to get her folks in the democratic caucus to vote against this bill. they were upset because they thought wall street was getting a big old break in here, and the president disagreed. i want to play you two quick bites of both of them. >> i think what the american people very much are looking for is some practical governance and the willingness to compromise. >> i'm enormously disappointed that the white house feels that the only way they can get a bill is to go along with this. >> and when the majority leader of the democrats, she's

take over, why don't we pass a republican-passed, in fact, have bipartisan support, we could get joe manchin mark warner and then make the president sign it. >> why wouldn't the president at least wait till the new -- we have been talking about this for weeks now, why would he not just wait and see what might happen, try to go up to the hill and make some sort of agreement and then maybe, if you are on your side of things, then you would do what he did? >> what is to prevent the republicans in both the house and senate come john from doing that? nothing to prescient vent them from doing it. >> what's the difference? >> my gosh, he has made them so upset now as john boehner has said, he has poisoned the well. >> i have to say this and i'm not taking credit for this think it was donna brazile or somebody who said according to the republicans, he has poison the well so often it is a miracle there are any republicans left alive. >> the president go it alone as opposed to president let's work together, we might actually is -- >> we had a president who worked together, we had a senate that worked

mitch mcconnell is going to keep those democrats like to joe manchin and mark warner of virginia who voted for it in the first place. trace: if it gets to mountain -- if it gets to president obama's desk does he get out the pen and veto the bill? >> it will be difficult to override the veto. the president hasn't issued a full-out veto threat and he hasn't been shy about issuing veto threats on issues he doesn't agree with. he is ignoring the state department in the sense they said it's a clean way to get energy down from canada to the united states. i don't think it will be necessary at this time. trace: do you get the feeling that urgency to get this keystone thing on the front burner has been lessened? >> no, i don't think so. it's been frustrating for people who are unemployed to be waiting to work on the pipeline. i think it's good that mitch mcconnell is putting it back on the table. he says he wants to bring democrats to the table and pass things democrats and republicans can agree on. and he will make good on his promise if he can get the 60 votes to overcome the veto come jan

you will see them look for a few democrats, maybe joe manchin to work with them to cutback some parts of obamacare. schumer's words did not help democrats. >> mitch mcconnell and john boehner say we are not going to shut this thing down. >> what they would like to do is fund the whole government except for the department of homeland security which will enforce the president's immigration edict. but then pass a shorter-term bill for the department of homeland security and then they could revisit it in february the-march when the republicans are a majority. but until then the democrats still control the senate. i think there will be a big fight. bill: byron york. thank you. billmartha: ray rice's wife is w speaking out in an e -- in an ee interview. what she has to say about the nfl, about that infamous videotape and whether her husband will play again. bill: the fbi giving a watching to our american servicemen and women. why they say they are at risk on social media. >> having read the transcripts of the grand jury and fbi interviews and having been a prosecutor for 15 years, i don't s

correctional facility for women which is near to where i live in new jersey is the one from which joe manchin is part escaped. chesapart escaped. worth, texas.t. you're on the air. thank you for taking my call. there is something fishy about this deal that the president made. why would he do this when congress is going on holiday break? is secondly, guantanamo bay located, i believe, on the continent of cuba. president could be close down guantanamo bay without the approval of congress. and my last point, the president is doing this out of spite, because there is nothing that changed with the cuban president. didn't changen anything. what is going to happen is, we are going to open up an end -- mbassy in cuba and the people will not get the benefit s. the four people in cuba, they will not get the medication or the front -- the court people into but, they will not get the medication or the finding that the democrats are saying. rich in virginia beach, democratic caller. good morning to you. it.er: i am for i think we should give it a try. they are a close neighbor of ours and we have diplomat
