they say joe manchin? state that are a jobs of a by gone era and joe got a lot of money from foos i fossil fuel. and he wants to protect that relationship. fair dig? >> that's a horrible analogy basically and wrong to from what they're saying. i support the miners and workers. that's where my heart and soul, is my dedication. where i was born and raised. the people that contribute to campaigns, it's hard to believe this but some don't care at all. some don't solicit that. it just doesn't happen that way as they think, the quid pro quo. with that, i can tell you that what the miners have done and what coal has done for this country is something we should be able to honor. we don't have to -- if there soot defendable reliable fuel that runs 24/7, let me know. >> i hear you. it's tough. change is difficult. you want to protect what you have and prepare for what you're going to need in the future. it's not an easy balance. we'll see where the party comes out on it. joe manchin senator of west virginia, i appre

and with joe manchin, who is a maverick democrat, giving support to an emergency declaration, it gives him even more cover. guy: marty, i am curious as to the overlap between the border story and the trade story. if the president accepts this does thate border, give him more wiggle room when it comes to the trade story, i.e., to fight a bit harder, and vice versa? marty: actually, my thought is that throughout his presidency, president trump has been given off ramps to avoid taking extreme positions. shutdown,his full there were many chances along the way that he could have claimed a victory and moved past the shutdown. he didn't take them. just like in trade, if he does take this compromise, it may also -- he may see the benefits of getting a little less than what he wanted in order to declare victory on trade. so i think, in a perverse way, whatever happens on the shutdown can inform what happens on the trade talks. vonnie: marty schenker, our chief content officer. a reminder, we are expecting a cabinet meeting at 11:30 in there-- eastern, and if are any words from the president, we

server tok -- expect the president go back to us virginia and places like this and to tweet about joe manchin, who he likes a lot. i would expect to see attorney house, barr at the white either in the oval office or, weather permitting, in the rose garden this week with a ceremony with the president. host: plenty more to talk about. but let's take your calls. ed from georgia, republican. caller: good morning. what i do not understand is all of the politicians have all of these grandiose ideas, things they want to do, but we have a $21 trillion debt, and nobody seems to care about that. nobody talks about how we will reduce it. when they talk about that for us, then we can talk about their other crazy ideas. but they got to get rid of this debt. it is just bleeding us. host: mike lillis on where debt and deficit reductions have fallen in these conversations. guest: it is funny -- it has become such a political issue. it is not even a partisan issue. it is just political. it is the party that has power tends to suddenly not care about debt, and when they are out of power, than they really care

i mentioned before the image of joe manchin standing and applauding and rows of women behind him whoin favor of what the president was talking about. what's your message for men? you say even if it wasn't common straited for you by a father, you can be different. >> look, men are in a role of leadership in many areas. men are protectors. we are providers. many women would not be seeking abortions if the men involved in their lives were doing what they were supposed to be doing. and that's a challenge to myself. that's a challenge to all men who are listening, that's a challenge to men everyone to step up and be men. a lot of the issues that we face in our country, whether it's the abortion issue or education or whatever it may be sometimes incarceration, whatever it may be, if men were doing their job, these things would be eradicated. so my message to men is a lot of times me looking in the mirror and encouraging myself as a father, as a husband, to do what it takes to stand in the gap to step out and to lead because manhood is really falling by the wayside and the crazy thing is th

got joe manchin. >> you know, it's just ridiculous. >> let me break this down, a little technocratic,ilver lining here. and that is that none of us including trump actually knows what the wall is because he's never defined it. >> let me read today's -- he redefines it every day. wall, steel slats, a fence, a barrier. it's not. today, here's what the wall is today for those of you keeping track. "tremendous numbers of people are coming up through mexico in the hopes of flooding our southern borders." actually at a 40-year low. donny's right, you should brag about. but you won't. "we've sent additional military." you shouldn't. "we will build a human wall if necessary." good god. "if we had a real wall, this would be a nonevent." today, today, a human wall. link arms. >> appropriations request, i know this is wonk talk. let me wonk out for a second. that went from the white house to the appropriations committees. they outlined a dollar amount but didn't outline any specifics about where that would go. if you just break down the numbers, you're talking about 500 miles of wall. we already

. >> thank you senator joe manchin. i would note that today is just about the beginning of march pick we call it march madness around here. if you had a long line in front of you to enter the building it's just indicative of what we have in front of us. so the fact that we don't have full attendance at this morning's hearing is not indicative of the lack of interest in the territories. please hear me on that. it's just that there are many many competing hearings that are beginning also at 10:00. we will have members cycling in and out and i apologize for the up and down. but i think my colleagues that are here. we will began this morning with hearing from each of you as i mentioned. we had the testimony that has been submitted by the governor from american samoa. we will begin with the the honorable ricardo rossells. we will then hear from the governor of guam, then the governor of that u.s. virgin islands, then we will hear from the governor of the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands. we will have an opportuni

from conservative part of the country i think a party that can have alexander ocasio cortez and joe manchin in it that's a ton of diversity i worked in the senate in two thousand and ten when democrats had sixty vote and i think what people need to remember is if you're going to ever build that big of a coalition you have to have a very diverse caucus you have to have moderates you have to have progressive you have to have liberals you have to have conservatives democrats have got to a place where they have a lot of strong voices that represent all wings of that spectrum and i for one a very happy with it so i think democrats are in a good position i'm not concerned about being too far to the left or too far to the right i think the democratic party is just right right now gentlemen i thank you both very much for a very intellectual. well thought out discussion which we don't hear much of these days thank you both very much thank you larry thank you george thank you larry our pleasure thank you joel before we go i want to tell you about a terrific interview coming up on my other program lar

doug jones of alabama, joe manchin of beft, and kristen sinema of alabama. senator rand paul was the only republican to vote against the nominee. intelligence committee chair byrd did not vote. he will be sworn in this afternoon according news reports as the 85th attorney general. 4:45 ceremony in the oval office with chief justice john roberts administering the oath. senators are waiting for the government funding board of security compromise to be brought up for debate. the measure introduced to members in the wee hours this morning. expected to be up for debate this afternoon in the senate. it provides nearly $1.4 billion for 55 miles of new barriers in texas. and includes money for nine federal departments as well as nearly 2% pay raise for federal workers. the senate will vote first. if it passes there the house will take up the package with first house votes expected about 6:30 eastern. house coverage here on c-span. later, follow the senate over on c-span2. next up here on c-span, nasa officials say that after more than 15 years on the surface of mars

we have democratic senators like joe manchin coming out saying, you know, this isn't a deal, this isk nancy pelosi said something similar, snubbing the green new deal. it's absolutely ridiculous. i mean, you look in there, and towards the end they promise free health care for all, they promise access to clean water, clean, clean energy, nature. they're promising the most ridiculous things, jobs for everybody, even people that don't work, jobs for all americans. it sounds wonderful, but we could never afford to do something like this, nor in reality would this work. we have to live in reality. elizabeth: guaranteed jobs, guaranteed income for folks unwilling to work. even nancy pelosi ridiculed this saying, quote, the green dream or whatever they call it. nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right? madison, it's like when pelosi said we have to pass obamacare before we find out what's in it. that's when's happening with the budget bill too -- that's what's happening with the budget bill too. what's your take on if this came to pass? >> i think this would be extremely detriment

. >> joe manchin, we used the word coal nine times on tuesday, and at the end of the day, chuck schumer he wants to find a 51 senators. >> i think when it comes to making the compromises it's about the landscape when we get there. there are some that i think are on the table if we have just 51, but i think some of those are off of the stable if we have 60. i can't speculate to what it would be for any variable makeup in 2020, but we can start our organize nooigz and being as aggressive as possible. >> what is the best case for con servetive leaders, they see what happened in france and it seems like it impacts the lower to middle lower class more. that it will just trickle down to the working lass. >> it has in france because we allowed them to take over who bears the burden for carbon taxes. when we work as a progressive movement here, it needs to be lead by every day people, by workers, it needs to be lead by front line communities. if we don't do that that is what happens. and by the way, when you look at who is actually responsible for the majority of carbon emissi s emissions, it i

david: your calling on the democratic side, joe manchin he said herginia, would support or he would toleratehe presence using his what we have to focus on is how to preserve national security while also upholding our values. youou want to do that -- if are really concerned about the opioid epidemic, then you will focus on ports of entry. if you are really concerned about terrorism, you will get people overstaying their visas, look at our intelligence systems and intelligence sharing. this is what we have to focus on. i am tired of us talking about overly sympathetic means by which a donald trump -- overly simplistic means by which donald trump can drum up his base. david: let's talk about the local and state tax deductions. we have heard from governor cuomo that he has problems with this and he will talk with the president. and we have also heard from the president. he said some people from new york have been speaking to me about doing something about that, about changing things, it has been severe on them. it did not sound like he was against changing it. do you have any sense they will be

paul: bill barr confirmed with a 54 votes, three democrats, joe manchin, kristen cinema, doug jones ofal whes confirmed in the george h.w. administration. what do you think barr's main task is? >> he will have to impose some discipline on the justice department and the fbi and corral these guys who are basically becoming political agents. i think he needs to oversee, provide more oversight, the solicitor general which submitted some kind of strange a amamcus brief and there's such a diffuse organization that he needs to impose discipline on. paul: and get political order on and to run the department. sessions, because he was for a variety of reasons hadn't done that i guess is what you're saying. >> some obama era prosecutions and investigations have continued, that of quicken loans, he should probably drop that one, among others. paul: okay, kim. what do you think -- you wrote your column about barr this week and you said he's got a big task in front of him. how should he handle the mueller probe? >> well, look, he's already said that he's not going to necessarily interfere in the muell

joe manchin, i haven't seen anything. ed markey, i don't know what he said. pat leahy, i have no idea. jack reed, i know what it is about but i have not listened. before the yearbook photo this was one of the biggest stories of the week. it's hard to believe all these guys didn't hear about it. i'm encouraged that democrats aren't rubbishing to bear hug northam's views on third trimester abortions. but do you think it's important for democrats to outright denounce them? >> first of all, let's just straighten a couple of things out. you said this abobill would cre third trimester abortions. this bill wouldn't have changed the law of virginia in terms of the length of time that an abortion -- >> three doctors, get permission. >> no, no. it did change those things, and these are serious discussions and serious debates, and i don't minimize them. i also saw northam's comments, and i understand how they can be interpreted. i also understand that they can be interpreted -- you know, to say he was advocating infanticide i think is a little bit unfair, and i also thi

doug jones, joe manchin, voted for barr while rand paul voted against him. barr is a justice department department veteran who served in the george h. bush administration. in addition he now oversees the special counsel investigation and says he considers robert mueller a friend. however barr also wrote a 19-page memo last summer arguing that mueller should not treat trump's decision to fire james comey as obstruction of justice. >>> we'll hear more from andrew mccabe about his interactions with the president of the united states in an adaptation of his new book published in "the atlantic." he had two phone calls with the president in the first 24 hours as head of acting fbi. in one instance he said the president called him on an unsecured line saying how happy people were that he fired james comey. mccabe writes the president said he thought most people in the fbi voted for him. he thought 80%. he asked me again, as he had in his office if i knew that comey had told him three times that he was not under investigation. mccabe says the president also ordered

pat toomey, who supported that bill back in 2013 with joe manchin, remains in support of it. no one thinks it's anywhere near the 60-vote threshold that's obviously required in the senate. but there are a number of republicans that supporters of this bill are targeting or hoping come along. it's far from clear there's going to be a vote in the senate. >> and this is the first gun legislation that the new democratic council is taking up. >> this is the first gun legislation that the house has dealt with since -- in years. probably nearly a decade, since democrats were last in the majority. there was no significant gun legislation of any kind brought up, or at least gun control legislation in the republican-controlled house during the eight-year republican majority. >> is there any sense it's part of the beginning effort by democrats for additional gun legislation? >> yeah, there is certainly some thoughts there could be more to come. there's a couple of areas where they're looking right now. one is the so-called red flag laws, which would give law enforcement and private parti

that is kyrsten sinema of arizona, joe manchin of us regina, doug jones of alabama.objection, rand paul. but the main objection came from democrats that barr would not remain independent taking control over the special counsel's rush investigation. in a repeated questioning's coming made clear he would not stand in the way of letting it run its course and he planned to make public as much of its findings as possible. but he stopped short of promising you would be released in its entirety, and that was a sticking point angering democrats who worried that he might try and suppress critical portions related to the president and the findings, based on barr's extensive view of executive powers. under regulations, we need to note that mueller is required to provide the attorney general with a final confidential report of findings. those relations also require the attorney general to inform congress of those findings. they do not, however, require barr to release all information publicly, giving him some latitude in what and how much to release. judiciary chair joan adler h

will the democrats stand firm or will they blink when some of their own members joe manchin say we can't>> they will continue to endorse the broad strokes and the goal of the green new deal, but you're right that once you get out in the details and especially in the details that are inadvertently or inaccurately released it makes it way too easy for republicans to go after democrats on this and i was talking with senator brian schotts yesterday and he said look, will we hold every candidate up to the standard which is fair, but that's the kind of environment that we're in and that's the influence that ocasio-cortez has in this field. >> also the democratic party can't afford not to try to motivate this sort of raucous, energetic part of their constituency. especially president trump, the guy running in office and they first have to motivate their base and whether it's being done well or poorly or whether they're putting up information that isn't helpful, they still do need to figure out how to walk that line and this broad issue is one that can help do that. >> and we will see some of th

this is not a year when the claire mccaskills and the joe manchins are considered to be the top pick in the democratic field. this is gillibrand, kamala harris, potentially sherrod brown, but we're seeing top democrats forming that top tier. >> it will be interesting to see all the candidates veer to the left of our party. it will be interesting to see if amy decides she is going to lead with some of the more progressive ideas or maybe stick to a really pragmatic agenda. >> her reputation is quite pragmatic. >> correct. i think that's what we can watch for is how many candidates will be going for a segment of the democratic party that is more left of center, and how many will be going towards a more centrist position with the idea that history has shown that centrist positions have sometimes more success in general elections? >> but in barack obama's history, you can do both. >> exactly. frankly, my voting record was pretty darn good on the environment and on all the issues that the congresswoman likes to talk about. but it's what you emphasize and what you lead with and whether or n

maybe joe manchin will run. darrell, good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i have the perfect combination pick. i would go with joe biden for his experience and someone who served with barack obama. woulde presidential pick be bob casey of pennsylvania, someone that is well-respected thatth sides of the aisle could bring people together. that is what we need. we need unity and to come together as a country. host: politically speaking, both choices are democrats from the northeast. do you think you need some geographical diversity in a presidential pick? side,: on the democratic i think the party will support that ticket. remember, barack was from the midwest but spent time in the northeast as a. -- as well. he said the only way he could win is if he picked somebody biden, respected on both sides of the aisle and among the military. host: joe biden has run for president before. he has run for the democratic nominee several times. about havinghink someone who has tried for that nomination before but did not get it? is it better to

and joe manchin thought and claire mccaskill thought the way they demonized kavanaugh was the reason they lost races. i think right now schumer has a lock on the leadership but i don't think he can really assess his legacy until he reaches the pinnacle, top leader in the senate. >> his legacy at this point is that he has been able to deliver democrats in the senate joining the pack. and i think he is right, we need to see him as majority leader and how he would operate. the policies that are being put forward by the ascended part of the policy are not necessarily policies chuck schumer would want to get behind, medicare for all, universal health insurance, chuck schumer is a more incremental person in terms of policy, and how he would handle this new surge on the left or big, sweeping change on climate change, big health care, i don't know, but he has shown himself to be an extremely powerful political operative and now great policy operative. one thing that is important, he was the force behind the 2013 immigration reform bill. we are talking about the most difficult issue in policy

they were joe manchin, kyrsten sinema and doug jones. rand paul voted against him.ading proponent of surveillance and his record is troubling to me. after this confirmation vote we expect barr to be sworn in and the mark whitaker era comes in a close. >> if the president signs this, what can he say? he can say look, i wanted 64 mile expansion of the wall. i have a 55 year. he can portray it as a win because the democrats were offering zip, zero, nothing, even though it's less than what trump said he wanted. anything that happens that solidifies and sements that effort as being taken and underway the president can portray as a win. can always hold out the card of a declaration of a national emergency to get the rest of it built and so forth. so i don't know what they're thinking in the white house on this. but i'm sure they're looking at it somewhat similar to this. how can we portray this as a win to our people if we sign this? if he signs this he will have to make the case that you never get everything you want all at once in washington we've got divided government

decisions on his own and was the chances.ke chuck schumer decided after that mansion, he wanted joe -- manchin. he wanted bernie sanders on the leadership team, so he expanded it beyond what senator reid has done, and i think that his worked for him, and to his colleagues he at least creates the image that he is consulting with them whether , that is what is really going on or he then closes the door and makes a decision with his staff. that is a different story, but i i think they have definitely made their peace. and work well together, dick durbin has taken on a roll among senate democrats as one of the leaders in the judicial fights. chuck schumer was a big player in those over the years as part of the committee. and dick durbin is sort of a leader there, and they worked it out. it is funny though. they were roommates for a long time in their crazy group house that george miller, a former house member had, a lot of stories about how crazing that living situation was. >> well, senator schumer in our "conflictumentary, and compromise," talked about what it was like being minority leader. sen

. >> we are looking at joe manchin with the chief justice and elena kagan, laura? >> laura: i think this the speech to keep it going. the southern district of new york, the president, of course, justice kennedy, justice cap and i'll come excuse me the lasting legacy. the court is added, impressive array of appellate court nominees. last weekend this week nominated by the president and the president might think, tonight will say look at what we have done. we are just getting going. incredibly economy, nafta, course criminal justice reform who are also represented and the gallery tonight. people who have gotten second chances in life. while senecal, unity, washington, he's reaching across the aisle in his own way and the democrats are in resist and racial politics. >> melania trump the first lady of the united states has entered the chamber, standing ovation for her as everyone address the first lady when she walked in. all of the white, you see the new members of congress, and white dress but also economic empowerment for women. your thoughts? >> no matter what the

joe manchin might vote with the president. he is in favor of the wall. i think the worst possible situation is another shut down. i think that is while we avoid it, through another deal more likely but more likely through an emergency declaration. neil: how likely is it that, i guess the two sides can agree on some middle ground? it would take vetting on nancy pelosi to support a wall of some short and she has finessed semantics a little bit, not enough to say i love a wall but talked about structures. in the end that is how it will be settled if it is settled they come up with another word other than wall? >> yes but at the same time nancy pelosi gone from 1.3, to 1.$6 billion, to zero wall money. the the semantics issue is still there. a basically a deal has to be struck this week to be voted on next week. neil: that is interesting. even though it is next friday, the deadline, if you just score the deal that day there is not enough time? >> yes. neil: okay. >> house democrats will have three days to people to review the bill. they could waive that. at

identifying a path to finally fully verifiable there is a shin as agreed upon by president trump and joe manchin. the best deterrence against any north korea. i will continue to emphasize military readiness while simultaneously supporting you as the primitive state led pressure campaign. i should add, the u.s. and republican of korea alliance has become the linchpin of peace and security in northeast asia and for the long-term in the indo pacific region. and demonstrates a great democracies can accomplish when we work together. backdoor challenges. china represents our greatest long-term strategic threat to a free and open indo pacific and to the u.s. those who believe this is reflective of an intensifying competition between an established power in the u.s. and a rising power in china are not single picture. rather i believe we are facing something more serious, a fundamental virgins in values that leads to two incompatible visions of the future. through fear coercion beijing is working to expand its form of ideology in order to break and replace the rules-based international order. in its plac

liz: joe manchin will. >> can they get away with it, where they can say to the green new dealers, to the ocasio-cortez wing of the party, look, i co-sponsored the green new deal, i share your aspiration to spend tens of trillions of dollars reorganizing the u.s. economy. liz: but how dare you put it to a vote. how dare you. >> the industrial midwest, blue collar workers, don't worry, i didn't vote for it, i didn't mean it even though i co-sponsored it. stuart: it's not the ocasio-cortez wing of the party. it is the ocasio-cortez party. can we get that clear. >> i think that is why the president probably gets reelected. even if his polls don't rise that much, because they are making their candidate unacceptable to many people in the country. stuart: you got it all out there. listen to this. priceless stuff. here we go. martha stewart partnering with a marijuana grower, canopy growth. what? >> yep, she will be an adviser to this canadian pot company. stuart: adviser to what? >> she will help them develop human and animal health products infused with cbd which is not the part that gets

ainsley: send any hoyer, joe manchin stood you about majority of democrats.ountry's history, then he said wages are growing especially for the blue-collar worker. smart of him to begin the speech with that, positive numbers? >> i would have, yeah. look, this is inconvenient truth for a lot of people who are wrestling with the aforementioned cognitive dissidence. we have 7 million jobs that are open. a bug ching of those, majority, don't require a four-year degree. i got $700,000 i'm trying to give away this month in my foundation. we do this every year. we're over five million now. good for us. it is hard to award work ethic scholarships these days, we're affirmatively challenging the idea that unemployment exists because there are no jobs. there are a lot of jobs. ofthe discussions has broken don is it a good job or bad job? we're not talking about the existence of opportunity. we're talking about the quality of opportunities that undeniably exist. as a result we frame the debate in a way we can't possibly win. we're having the wrong conversation. brian: the

saw joe manchin stand up once or twice. xochiti hinojosa, communications director of the dnc. i think that this was -- the speech wasn't about unity but red meat for his base. one of the things he talked about was infrastructure and paid leave. he hasn't done anything on those two issues the two years he has been in office. those are issues that democrats would love to work with him on. we haven't seen anything from this administration. another thing that i think that was omitted from the state of the union, important issue, was the shutdown. almost a million workers who were impacted. they didn't get checks for a month and the president didn't even have an apology for them. that's very concerning. instead you heard a bunch of divisive rhetoric from him. things that the american people don't want to hear. they want our country to come together. and this is also why they voted for democrats in november. >> bill: he put out the olive branch. you didn't like anything last night. >> i would have loved a proposal -- i would have loved a proposal and meat on the bones on infrastruct

server tok -- expect the president go back to us virginia and places like this and to tweet about joe manchino he likes a lot. i would expect to see attorney house, barr at the white either in the oval office or, weather permitting, in the rose garden this week with a ceremony with the president. host: plenty more to talk about. but let's take your calls. ed from georgia, republican. caller: good morning. what i do not understand is all of the politicians have all of these grandiose ideas, things they want to do, but we have a $21 trillion debt, and nobody seems to care about that. nobody talks about how we will reduce it. when they talk about that for us, then we can talk about their other crazy ideas. but they got to get rid of this debt. it is just bleeding us. host: mike lillis on where debt and deficit reductions have fallen in these conversations. guest: it is funny -- it has become such a political issue. it is not even a partisan issue. it is just political. it is the party that has power tends to suddenly not care about debt, and when they are out of power, than they really care abou

i would like to commend three democrats in fact, senators bob casey, joe manchin, and doug jones who defended the basic rights of newborn children and voted for my legislation last evening in the united states senate. i introduced this legislation because it is just common sense. i am shocked that there are prominent american legislators who believe in denying babies life-saving medical care when they are born. as a mother, a grandmother, a legislator and advocate who came to congress to serve as a voice for the voiceless i believe that life begins at conception and that it's wrong to kill a child no matter how many weeks old he or she may be. but i am grieved to find that i now must defend something that i never thought we would have to fight for. life-saving care for babies born alive. in response to radical legislature -- legislators who are promoting not just late-term abortion bus infanticide it's essential we come together to protect children. so today i am here to ask, no, mr. speaker, i am here to implore my colleagues to right the wrongs that the senate has committed and def

senator jeff jones of alabama, joe manchin of west virginia and chisten sinema of arizona. one republican voted against him. mr. barr served as attorney general before from 1991 to 1993 in the george h.w. bush administration. next up here on c-span2, house minority whipe steve scalise looks at the upcoming legislative ageneral ta and his new book, "back in the game: one gunman, countless heroes, and the fight for my life." he gave personal details on the day he shot and nearly tied in 2017 at a congressional baseball practice in alexandria, virginia. >> we are lucky to have three congressional speakers to help us look ahead at what congress will accomplish, or not in this session. we'd like to thank c-span for carrying this live and thank you all for being here and feel free to join the conversation at
