it's not just joe manchin. if people go back and look at what happened with an earlier vote, democrats couldn't control their own caucus either. you had a number of people who weren't in favor of the mainline democratic position as it was understood. so where is the chance for progress on any of this stuff? >> well, i'm not going to -- we had four democrats who did not support the manchin-toomey bill we had. i wrote the bill back in 2013. had tom coburn working with me. i lost tom's support on that. then pat toomey came forward and pat worked with me. it's reasonable. it's not gun control. it's simply gun sense. all we said in our bill was treat me as a law abiding gun owner. i'm not going to do something gun because i own a gun or want to buy a gun. i'm not going to commit a crime. i'm not going to sell my gun to a stranger, someone who is a criminal, someone who has been adjudicated insane. don't you think it makes sense if i go to the gun show or someone goes to the gun show and nobody knows them, and they g

joe manchin said nee cavuto, if this was our president in 2013 this woe have passed. a lot of republicans were not for it. they might type it up and represent it. here is what he told us earlier. >> we have a lot of meetings like this about tax reform. it led to the biggest success in tax reform in over 30 years as you know. it really in my view, if the president embraces something like manchin-toomey, a bill that had broad bipartisan support but couldn't get 60 votes the president could make the difference. brian: is that what the president is behind, kellyanne, when you spoke to him last night? >> he definitely said elements of toomey-manchin and "fix nics," cornyn-murphy bills he can support. he took immediate action against bump stocks that could have been done before. it took this president to do it. this president seems to keep the promise of many different presidents. he did that with jerusalem. he is doing that certainly when it comes to historic tax reform. as senator toomey says, this is a president that invites people around the table and invites americans

joe manchin of west virginia. good to have you with us. your take on gary cohn's departure and on the president sticking to this issue of tarrifs? >> well, let me speak about the president's movement on tarrifs. i support 1,000%. i come from west virginia and we were affected. good paying jobs we lost with benefits. these are jobs people thought would never come back. president trump is giving them a chance for that to come back. we are talking about fair trade. everybody in america is for fair trade. free-trade hasn't worked out well for americans or american jobs. this is not about the jobs on main treat. this is wall street pushing back. main street voted for president trump. he is respecting that and coming through on the commitment he made to make sure that we are treated fairly throughout the world. it will bring a lot of people to the table that say we have these trade wars. i don't think that will happen. i think they will sit down and reevaluate the deals we made over the years. >> martha: that's what the president wants to do. th

mentioned earlier could also wrote it was also the democratic party led by the majority governor joe manchin that enacted corporate tax cuts a decade ago that currently cost the state this demitted two hundred twenty million oh you're if you put that to twenty million in the issue of the state workers now which is what that strike was over a period of five percent payroll you could give every public employee a twelve percent raise that's incredible so these are things the of one group who fought teachers fought for a five percent raise and you literally sit back and say all this money you could have given everyone in the whole state was a public employee twelve percent revenue growth that away democrats didn't act collective bargaining there so it's not a right and left problem here it's a politician versus people problem. many good folks here in the united states so i often find themselves asking why does our congress seem so out of touch with the actual problems facing the citizens they represent for the answer to that question one can very easily start with the wealth gap separating elect

joe manchin: we have a school safety provision in this bill also. when i was governor, we remodeled a lot of schools and built a lot of schools. not one architect ever said, "gov. manchin, you've got to make sure you have the first floor windows all bulletproof." we never knew that. no one ever came to me with that concern. with sandy hook, that's how he got his way in. we made sure we addressed all that. there's not a person in west virginia who believes you're not going to defend their second amendment rights, not a person. with you taking a lead on something like this, it gives them the comfort that something reasonable -- and this bill has been vetted for over five years and over 70%, 80% of gun owners say we like your bill, joe. him him him him we're just him afraid president obama would take it further, take more rights away. that's what i was running into in west virginia. president trump: or use that as it was -- sen. manchin: or use that as an excuse not to sign -- he was not proactive in getting a bill signed, in all fairness. sen. toomey:

some of the strongest support for the plan came from rust belt democrats like joe manchin of west virginia it gives us a chance basically to reboot, get jobs back to west virginia, back to america. i'm excited about that. >>> spring break is right around the corner, but you may want to think twice about traveling to mexico. the u.s. state department issued a travel warning about the caribbean resort city of playa del carmen. a bomb went off on a tourist ferry last month. another bomb was discovered on a second ferry. and the u.s. consular agency in the city has been closed indefinitely. mark strassmann reports. >> reporter: security cameras showed a fireball as a bomb detonated, ripping through a docked ferry in popular tourist destination playa del carmen last month. 26 unloading vacationers were hurt, including seven americans. no one was killed. passenger rebecca lahlum. >> there was a lot of debris in the air. there was a lot of glass. >> reporter: less than two weeks later, undetonated explosives were found on another ferry. the u.s. state department has had enough. it issued a securi

reporter: joe manchin says his state has lost thousands of jobs because of unfair trade practices ande likes, quote, where the president is going on this. eboni eboni: thank you, molly. south carolina congressman mark sanford. thanks for joining. >> my pleasure. eboni: generally speaking it seems to be to almost very quick responses to the president's proposed tariffs. on one hand it seems like american manufacturers seem to like this. they might indeed raise prices for their wages and have them with better benefits long term. however, companies and businesses rely upon imported steel and aluminum, like the ones in your state, bmw certainly. bowling in those types of businesses that seem to be concerned about what the tariff could mean for jobs, job losses in particular and economic negative impacts. based off of those businesses in your state, i remember what a big deal of buzz when bmw open nevada and south carolina of course a very huge employer for your constituents. what is your response to this proposal? >> i think it would be disastrous. what is interesting as i'm not alone in

deep red states like claire mccaskill of missouri, joe manchin in west virginia.y're not just going to vote against the president in an election year when they're running in states with big trump wins. they'll think about it. maybe this is a way to get back home. this may not be a total party line vote but it is no slam-dunk. >> for the president to rand paul to settle this issue. >> go ahead. >> what the heck is dianne feinstein thinking? she is facing a primary from the left in her party. she seems to think it is like 1992. oh, we should all get together. >> she may -- >> she spent years trying investigate cia torture and she played a very honorable role. and now she's singing a thohymn this woman in charge of it? what is she thinking? >> first of all, she hasn't done it yet. she said she's keeping an open mind on it. we have leon panetta. coming out and being very positive. because she is somebody with a good reputation inside the cia. i think the story has to be unspoold and we have to learn a little more about her role and jeffrey is right. it's controversial

raises the gun buying age to 21. >> so the answer is joe manchin and i are going to move forward ifre actively soliciting support for our bill. there are several republican senators who voted against in the 2013 who have told me they are reconsidering so i am hopeful about that. i think the's very aggressive support for expanding background checks is encouraging. that's the centerpiece of our legislation and look, i think we ought to -- if we could get to a consensus, get to where we think we've got something like 60 votes then let's put it on the senate floor and have been can have their idea litigated and let the senate work its will. >> senator, last time i think about nine in ten americans, universal background checks. it still couldn't get a vote. now you have polls anywhere from 87% to one i saw last week, 97% of americans supporting universal background checks on all gun purchases. do you think that just the realities that walmart is seeing and that fedex is seeing, delta is seeing and that dick's sporting goods is seeing, do you think that eventually congressman and senators

joe manchin today said democrats wanted a deal and the president could push this across the finish linehe wanted. >> i think that everyone stepped to the plate. the president has unusual power. unusual power with his base and also with a lot of people in the senate and in the house over on the other side that would follow if -- with his cover that he would give them. i'm hoping he steps forward on that. >> this is what i don't understand. the president kicked off his negotiation the way he does everything. he begins with an outrageous position. he said he would give amnesty to 1.8 million dreamers which is twice or three times which president obama said and then sent it off from there. it was like democrats didn't take yes for an answer. how did that not move forward? >> you know, first of all, president trump could have renewed the executive order -- >> it's unconstitutional. >> you're right. it doesn't solve it. >> so what happened with this? >> with this, again, you have to remember, guys, republicans control the house, senate and the white house. the fact that daca has not moved for

. >> senator joe manchin, who has been another dem in the president's corner over this, he says he thinkst is on the right track with these negotiations. >> i think the president and his advisers will look at it. i know we're concerned about canada and i'm sure there's adjustments that will be made accordingly. there's no doubt about it. >> manchin saying all you have to do is connect the dots to know that china is the big problem here, trace. >> trace: and republicans are also pushing back, right? >> speaker paul ryan warming up to the idea of tariffs. but still calling for a targeted and surgical approach. two key lawmakers that lead the charge on tax cuts are now leading the charge against tariffs. senator orrin hatch and representative kevin brady. hatch writing a letter to ask to reconsider and brady saying this morning that he thinks trump's approach is the problem here. >> where we're at in a lot of republicans in the house is, look, mr. president, go after the bad actors. we're with you. protect the good ones because that protects our jobs. so we're going to keep having that discu

people like joe manchin, claire mccaskill, jon tester, doug jones in alabama, that's a trump state. have also got democrats in favor of the original dodd-frank bill. that is mark warner, tim kaine, tom carper. so different democrats in favor of this. but will it pass? here is what white crapo said during the hearings with jay powell, federal reserve chairman last week, about this bill. >> is it accurate this provision does not in any way restrict the fed's supervisory, regulatory, enforcement authorities to insure the safety and soundness of financial institution? >> yes. >> finally nothing in provision would restrict the fed's ability to make sure large financial institutions are well-capitalized? >> yes. reporter: same hearing, different senator, ranking senator on banking sherrod brown from ohio, opposed to rolling back dodd-frank regulations. here is what sherrod brown said at the hearing. >> your focus should be on fed doesn't permit the build-up of risk in the market and hubris at the fed. great moderation turned out to be not so great. we forget that lesson at our peril. the
