joe manchin is the only democrat in an otherwise republican state , and when i say republican state, an, neither joe biden nor hillary clinton even got 30% of the vote in west virginia. let that sink in. the last two democrat candidates for president did not even get 30% of the vote in weapons, so is the media really surprised that joe manchin is not going for packing the supreme court? is the left really surprised that joe manchin is not going to vote for a federal takeover of state elections or d.c. state hood or ending the filibuster? is the media really surprised that joe manchin is not really big on the paris climate accord? he's a democrat and a heavily republican state. i thought senators were supposed to be the voice for the people who elected them. i thought senators were supposed to vote the way their constituents wanted them to vote i thought that was the whole purpose of having a representative democracy. it may well be that joe manchin doesn't believe what is being advocated for on the left these days. it is most assured true that the people he represents do not believe i

democrat joe manchin says the fed needs to tackle prices head on. the san francisco fed president says any abrupt move could destabilize the economy. oil continues higher, ever closer to $100 per barrel. let's get more with our chief asia economics correspondent. a lot of threats on the horizon, the latest signal and language from mary daly is trying to talk us off of the ledge of 50 basis point hike. what is your take of the daily comments yesterday? enda: i think that is fair, it sounds exactly what she did come out and say. she made the point that look, they're most likely will be in interest rate hike, that she would vote for, and she made the point that anything more would be an abrupt move. the fed does not want to spook the markets or get ahead of itself. she seemed to be calming down the idea that the fed would need to meet out of cycle. larry summers was making a point that the fed didn't need an emergency meeting to at least turn off the qe tap. we know big investment houses are calling a 50 basis points of hike in one go at the march meet

i was trying to work joe manchin through. how in this 50/50 senate everything is up in the air.itics, not saying no to anybody, he says trying to get anybody to say yes. >> one of the issues here is what happens next? there's a lot of animosity. they blame kyrsten sinema and manchin. they say they are not good democrats. in your interview chuck schumer did not take a stand on that. he said i'm focused on 2022, getting things done and winning the election. i'm not focused on 2024 and neither should anyone else be. if you're thinking too far ahead you have trouble but isn't that the reality? some democrats are still mad. >> it's remarkable to hear a senate leader not exactly say whether or not he would support one of his own senators running for re-election. typically that's expected. any senator could expect the leadership will fall behind them, i suspect schumer will but it speaks to the tension that has grown because of the strategy that he along with joe biden have pushed over voting rights, what they focused on at the beginning of the congress this year and they knew there wa

president joe manchin's -- joe manchin said that is dead.hey are trying to talk about how they can help support the economy, and not moment he mentioned childcare and how having robust childcare and the government helping give families a little bit of breathing room to potentially help more women get back to work. so they are still talking about the economic agenda, but there has been a change in how they communicate that to the american public. tom: have they communicated it to progressives? there seems to be such a fraction between central and liberal democrats. annmarie: with the president not even mentioning the term build back better, he's clearly moving a little bit to the middle a little bit more, when many in the party have said the president has moved too much to the left last year. this comes as we have a midterm election year. many are saying it is going to be a red sweep across congress. if you look at the most recent poll, but the american people think about the economy, the approval rating for the president stewardship at 39%.

joe manchin will be willing to come back to the table and pass not all, but some of the pieces of that net plan. listen to senator manchin yesterday on the radio in west virginia. i'll take this as an "i told you so." >> i've been ringing the alarm bell forever. for the last year about inflation. nobody has been listening. now we're seeing a basic threat. it's a 7.5% tax on everybody. on every product you buy. it's just unbelievable. it's time for the federal reserve to tackle the issue head-on. >> so he says federal reserve should deal with this. he's made clear he's not interested in most of what was in build back better, reconciliation, whatever you want to call it. you had a conversation with the president's climate adviser the other day who believes she can get joe manchin on some of the climate stuff. is that one of the pieces? is it realistic? is that one of the pieces they think they can get through the senate? >> one of the pieces that -- for biden's goals of reducing emissions to even be met, the administration needs to see that realized. and so -- and it really only can be t

trying to reconcile their approach with what joe manchin could agree to.ill pushed forward with a massive proposal. went through, got approved by the house and then later, joe manchin hit the brakes altogether. he said that plan was dead. when i asked chuck schumer why he did not inform the white house, why he did not inform speaker pelosi, he said people knew joe manchin's permission. he speaks to the press regularly. he talked to pelosi regularly. people knew his positions. some critics say democrats he will braced what he said. forced progressives to semithat. but at the time they were killing anything below their demands so it shows the dilemma that they faced in confronting the majority. >> but it sounds like they're willing to accept it. what are the prospects about passing any of biden's priorities this year? >> he said the conversations were ongoing. it is clear the priority is now approving the supreme court nominee. that is front and center. once he covered terms from his stroke, expecting about four to six weeks time, schumer said he wants to mo

you had joe manchin and kyrsten sinema do a fix. are you concerned that this election will be impeded by the prevention of people being able to actually cast a ballot? >> oh, i'm very nervous about what's happening. as we look at redistricting, as we look at some of the opinions coming down from our highest court. i think we have to do a better job of educating and making our citizens and constituents aware so they do come out to vote because there's so much voter suppression. when we allow people to vote, blacks individuals come out and individuals win. we elected president barack obama because people stood in line for 5 and 7 hours to cast that vote. the same thing happened for president joe biden. at the leadership, the rnc, they're wanting to keep the voter suppression out there so we don't vote. they have a very big divide with that right now. they're censuring liz cheney because she did what was right. joining that select committee and standing up for our democracy and they want to censure her? unthinkable. >> i know that you

it was declared dead on live tv by joe manchin just a few weeks ago. >> it's painful, isn't it, to listen to that? >> think it's not dead in terms of some form. i still believe that is possible, but obviously, we have run into a real road block here with one senator, and my belief is still that we can pass particularly the pieces i think that we do have some agreement around, climate change investment, half a trillion dollars, the health care investments potentially, and the care economy. some pieces of the care economy. we are going to continue to push for that. i know the president is still pushing for that. but obviously, it is not what we -- it's not where we wanted to be, and i think we're still hopeful that whatever you want to call it, whatever name it is, that we will still pass a significant piece of build back better. it's just not on the timeline i had hoped for, that's for sure. >> and the timeline is a problem because time is running out, as we approach the midterms. new polling out today shows voters prefer republicans handling of the economy over democrats by double digits.

build back better and joe manchin at best build back later. it was already dead. choir as it were. there is no way congress is going along with that. i think we have to address the supply chain and get past the virus and then i think by the summer the inflation will start to die down. >> bill: steve, go for it. >> i like what austan is saying. maybe we could say build back never. that bill was horrible and would have made inflation worse. i hope joe manchin sticks to his guns here. he will be a hero if he can stop that terrible bill. i went back and looked, bill, the hit song in early 1982 the last time we had inflation this high was olivia newton john's let's get physical. remember that one? that's how long ago we had inflation. everybody remembers the video. when you look at the sources of this. i have been saying this on your show for what, six to nine months, right, bill? inflation is getting worse, not getting better. the white house first said there is no inflation, then they said it was temporary and now they say we think we have caught the tiger by the tai

what does joe manchin not understand about this? >> well, this is not the optimistic part. we are an incredibly polarized political environment. even when policies are good, there are political dynamics around them. president trump proposed six weeks of paid parental leave as president. not a lot of people jumped on that on the others the. you are not seeing many people on the right side of the aisle or center left jump on this despite the vast majority want this. at some level, there is some dysfunction as a reason for why this has not gotten through. the evidence for paid leave, specifically paid parental leave, where we have evidence internationally and domestically, the most generous policies are for new parents. companies in countries -- we know that there is significant economic and health impacts. certainly, depending on how you define the scope of the provisions, which is part of the issue, it does not have to be tremendously expensive either. senator manchin has mentioned concerns about the topline cost. you can do paid leave in a way that's affordable and still ch

but you have lawmakers, and it's not just joe manchin, who say that the covid relief deal pumped too much money into this economy and that build back better would be even worse in that regard. so, yeah, manchin, twice and this appears to be a third time he's doing this. >> ap he's going o keep doing it. great to see you boat on this thursday morning. coming up, everybody, a new investigation involving the former president, this time from the house oversight committee. why it's looking into 15 boxes of trump white house records the national archives got back from mar-a-lago. but first right now russia and belarus are holding jount military drills, russia's top commander is overseeing them. it is the latest escalation in the massive military buildup at the ukraine borders. more coming up. buildup at the ukraine borders. more coming up -absolutely. -there you go. that way, [whistles] let's put away the parking talk, maybe, for a minute. parking is where the money is, though. can you imagine what this place pulls in on parking alone? alright, no more talking about parking lots. a lot of t

democratic senator joe manchin says you have to do something now. especially politically speaking, we're in a mid-term election year and there will be consequences. >> at this point, joe manchin is doing his share to try to stop inflation. as you know, neil laid out the cost estimates. because of inflation this year and more americans are getting pushed into higher tax brackets because of wages going up. together,er higher prices and higher costs cost an average family almost $5,000 last year. that's a huge amount and that hits senator manchin's folks, families even worse. what worries me is i do think consumer price inflation goes up even higher. all of those housing costs, whether it's in rents on the cost of your home isn't even reflected yet. we're seeing wage inflation accelerating in america. my worry is that we're on the verge of or already in a wage surprise spiral. those are so damaging, it ends badly for workers in the small u.s. economy. the president does not recognize it, but he's still pushing for the build back better plan that will m

other than joe manchin. place for democrats to win. i know they have two democratic senators right now but no luck joe biden won by less than 20 votes in 2020. some of the most prominent voices are people who never have to worry about the general election but maybe a primary and i thinker, jim cooper, some of the things joe manchin said speak to that. they have in the middle and hard to do when most of your prominent voices are on the left. >> this is a message we heard from moderate details for well over a year now, right, in needing to shift messaging here. will let me ask you about a democratic ad from gary chambers, a democratic ad in which he smokes marijuana and burns a confederate flag. let's play it. >> our system isn't broken. it's designed to do exactly what he's doing which is producing measurable inequity. one in 13 black americans denied the right to vote and one in five have do not have insurance and it's time to burn what remains of the confederacy down. i believe the south will rise but it wi

what did joe manchin block?$3.1 trillion of american rescue plan and the infrastructure plan through. that's tens of thousands of jobs being created across america for the next generation. so, look, you know, if he tells that story, if he uses this opportunity to cut through the middlemen and convey to americans what has actually been accomplished, he's going to go a long way. now, he can also tell the truth about the republicans. you were just doing that about cpac and trump. he does both of these things, he has a good chance in november. >> does he go on the offensive with republicans? because, look, i was criticizing the democrats for not getting this done because you have 50 republicans who were completely awol and blocking whatever the president wants to try to do. they're not here to actually get anything done. does he actually go on the offensive in the state of the union and say it is their fault? >> no. because they're white noise and it is not worth his time to be able to do that. it is called the stat

robert califf for a second time and representative joe manchin who opposes the nominee and senator patty murray who supports him spoke on the floor prior to the vote. >> madam president. >> senator from west virginia. >> i rise once again, disappointment that the united states senate would vote for dr. robert califf to lead the food and drug administration. it was exactly five years next week that i came to the senate floor to urge my colleagues to oppose dr. califf's nomination to serve under then president obama in this same role. in the five years since dr. califf was confirmed, more than 400,000 americans and 5,000 west virginians have died from drug related overdose. and 2020 was the deadliest year on record for drug related overdoses. 1386 west virginians and nearly 95,000 americans died from a drug related overdose. that number is just increasing with over 100,000 americans having died from overdose between april 2020 and april 2021. let's not beat around the bush, dr. califf bears a great deal of responsibility for these deaths. we have a luxury with this nomination that we are n

show in five years, has bucked her party on issues such as health care and the supreme court, and joe manchin is with us, both here today for a substantive conversation on bipartisanship and whether that idea whether is both revered and reviled in politics is still possible. senators murkowski and manchin, thanks for being with us. >> great to be back, five years, wow. >> senator murkowski, we have a lot to talk about. let's start with the major bipartisan achievement of perhaps the last decade, and that is the infrastructure bill, the infrastructure law. how did that plan succeed where so many other previous attempts at bipartisanship have failed? and how is that a blueprint possibly for moving forward? >> it really came about because you had a small group of people that said we need to get something done rather than just send a message from our respective parties. we do that a lot around here, but a commitment to a solution, a commitment to getting to yes, and i think that's what we had with that small working group. it was four and four, expanded a little bit. but there was a good-faith ef

build back better officially dead according to joe manchin when asked about it yesterday.omed the 2 trillion-dollar bill as democrats scrambled to pass 5 trillion in new spending. he said it was too expensive and would drive up inflation. that's exactly what all of the spending has done and we are at 30 trillion in debt. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez return today twitter after a 20-hear mean comments break she said. she slammed manchin's opposition to the bill insinuating people should go to his yacht to protest telling people to go protest outside of manchin's house. they are going to try to get something done at some point it appears. elon musk claims he had the backing of saudi arabia to fund a potential buy-out of tesla back in 2018. this revealed in a new lawsuit his legal team filed in california. musk is arguing that the 2018 funding secure tweet which caused blowback from the securities and exchange commission was entirely truthful and a deal was already inked. the sec said he was defrauding investors which lead to a 20 million-dollar settlement and a vett

and you ♪ (music) ♪ so i think to myself ♪ ♪ oh what a wonderful world ♪ >>> all right, senator joe manchin our next guest called him mr. niet. senator manchin is making his position abundantly clear. build back better, at least as we currently know it, is not going to happen. take a listen. >> the build back better as it has been presented over, what, the last seven, eight, nine months, that bill no longer will exist. my biggest concern and my biggest opposition, it did not go through the process. whether lisa votes for it or not being a republican, she should have at least the opportunity to have input. it should have got through the committee. it's going to change society as we know it. >> with me to discuss is democratic congressman andy levin of michigan. talk to us, congressman, great to see you, by the way, thanks for joining us. talk to us first about this comparison? manchin saying he's fiscally responsible. you're calling him mr. niet. explain for me. >> hey, yasmin. so good to see you. first of all, let's frame this. i have to tell you where i just was today. look at this t-shirt

senator joe manchin had this to say about build back better. is finally over? move on? >> the fact they haven't talked to manchin means they aren't serious. with inflation raging at 40 year highs and then attempting to pump trillions more to make inflation worse, it better be dead. i think it is good that it is dead. there's better policies that can achieve better ends that don't drive up inflation. stuart: oil hit $90 a barrel this morning. energy price inflation. that is good news for the louisiana. your state which is an energy state. >> it's good news for the state. there is a sweet spot. you want to encourage production but don't want people to pay so much they can't afford to drive to work. a direct result of the biden administration assault on americans pocketbooks attempting to limit oil and gas produced in the us. we will use less and it is better for the environment overall. we just imported from russia and saudi arabia. it worked really well. another example is failed policy. of the one you just covered four major areas in 3 minutes

and so when they go back to joe manchin and, i pray, you know obviously joe manchin shown a real steel spine throughout these negotiations but i pra i actually believe there are probably more democrats in the senate who probably quietly agree with joe manchin letting him be the heat shield and they're hiding behind him. if they believe going further into debt with more government spending comes with more regulations and more government mucking up with the economy is going to help anything, then these elections next year will be even worse for democrats than they already are. david: another thing suggested by larry, there is $800 billion apparently in all these covid spending bills has not been spent or can't be accounted for. some of it clearly just disappeared. the omb is not doing its job tracking down our money. could that be repurposed and used by the administration under some emergency measure to spend hundreds of billions of more dollars that might lead to more inflation? >> you would hope so but of course the whole, this whole regime ever spending more money has nothing to do wi

joe manchin isn't going to run for president, but i like that attitude. queens doesn't represent america but is their biggest star from retiring so we are the leaders. good luck with that. but on the other side, you have nikki haley, condoleezza rice, christina home, who else, senator josh holly, senator ted cruz is going to run again and everybody that i mentioned is out running so trump comes in, that will be it so i think that he's maneuvering that way. when you talk about the y next generation toth answer the question, that is like seven or eight off the top of my head. there's a lot of people that came out of the trump ndadministration with so much promise and i think mike pence did a great job. one of the finest people i will cever meet and will get the country in the right direction. you have a lot of talent in the 40s and 50s and on the left i think the reason why joe biden is even a president right now is because bernie sanders could not get elected. one is 80 and one is about to turn 78 so the next generation has to show themselves but the next

so, joe manchin should be supporting it. so should the republicans. >> in the meantime, now, there is another fight that is going to be upcoming. and that is for the supreme court nominee. we know that former alabama senator doug jones started his work today. he is a nomination advisor president biden. we are now just three weeks from the president self-imposed deadline, to name whoever she may be. what happens between now and then? >> well, first of all, do i think we will have it sooner than three weeks. but what happens once he names here, is that he is the sherpa and that means he and that is the tradition. he is the former colleague of -- and a very moderate democrat. i think he is the right person for the job. he is an amazingly great lawyer. and then we will go through that process. >> what do you think it is going to look? like what is that process going to look like? if i have time i would like to get both of your takes on that. >> i was on the judiciary committee. and i would suspect that a number of the republican

if not, it will be absolutely horrible to the american economy. >> joe manchin is doing his share top inflation. as you know and you laid out the cost. the president not only doesn't recognize it, he is still pushing for the build back better plan to make inflation and the worker shortage even worse. so, as long as senator manchin keeps blocking that, frankly, he will be doing his job. >> todd: and if the economy is going to hurt president biden's chances for reelection, there is always hillary clinton. cnbc is reporting she is scheduled to speak at the new york state democratic convention next week, tabla and ashley. >> todd: doug, not surprising we have a lot more on that coming throughout the next two hours. live in d.c., liberals and president biden and montana democrat jon tester telling cnn the party is doing nothing for middle america just ten months ahead of the midterms. >> the national democratic brand, i think rule america generally is caught because quite frankly we don't show up and we are not willing to go places we are not wanted and answer questions. >> i would even s

today senator joe manchin said the president's build back better plan is all but dead, but he and gop senator murkowski, lisa murkowski, say parts of it could be revived. >> the build back better, as it has been presented over, what, the last, seven, eight, nine months, that bill no longer will exist, okay? should there be parts of it? you want to talk about different things? my biggest concern, and my biggest opposition, it did not go through the process. whether lisa votes for it or not being a republican, she should have at least the opportunity to have input. it should have gone through the committee. these are major changes that's going to change society as we know it. those changes should be a hearing, a mark up and then you'll have a better product whether you are friends on the other side or not. but they have to have input. >> have you talked to president biden? >> we can work on energy and climate if we went through the committee. >> cnn's john harwood joining us from the white house. hi, john. so how is the president hoping to build momentum -- build on his current momentum

how much harder did that just become with joe manchin making clear that the negotiation is dead? to work to make sure that we put together the best, strongest policy that can get 50 votes in the senate and i believe that we can do something big here. >> you do still. even with that. >> we're lowering prescription drugs. yeah, absolutely. we don't know exactly what the name will be, what the vehicle will be or what all pieces will be but we know we've got to do something to lower costs for americans, especially when you look at the continued concerns we have around inflation. so the president's proposals, which economists have said, we will lower inflationary pressures, making it easier to afford child care, prescription drugs, insulin. i don't think many people are against making it more affordable in this country, obviously, i'm a big believer in making electric vehicles more affordable. more rural drivers can get in on the gas savings. and all of these things the president put forward and exactly what package of them can win 50 votes and advance in the senate, that's what has t

the headline the white house shifts to get mansion -- g et joe manchin's a vote. he's concerned about inflation. what are you writing about? guest: he continues to cite inflation as one of the main objections of the build back at her plan, the $2 trillion agenda that passed the house in november. the analysis of that shows a minor inflationary impact, about .1% over two years. the part with money going to parents is the most dangerous part. so one thing the administration can do is to resell this as an inflation fighting measure. under calculations, it reduces the deficit over 10 years, including irs tax enforcement which has been controversial. but you could keep the tax increases on the wealthy reduced to spending and have up to $1 trillion debt reduction. so that would have an advantage. the democrats in the midterm election. white house aides are weighing it. progressives would not be thrilled with that. you have to cut housing, education and so forth out of the agenda in order to make the numbers work. host: we touched on nominations a little bit. tia, you ar

. >> you mentioned this build back better plan is stalled, and you talk to joe manchin and he says it'sbout this plan, and you can expect to hear some of that today in the meeting with the ceos. president biden continuing to push for some of the tax credits in there that would go to renewable energy projects. as it stands now, there's about $300 billion that will go to build out clean energy, and it's something that we are seeing the president continue to push. this roundtable gets the president to use the ceos as an opportunity to show why it's needed and how it would spur investment and clean energy and the white house clearly continuing to try and push the message of build back better in whatever form. >> they want it to have a life, even if joe manchin says it's dead. >>> conservative oklahoma, where only medical marijuana is legal, new markets sparked a frenzy. >> what kind of well-oiled machine you would expect to see in oklahoma. but make no mistake, folks here know a boom when they see one. we are in one of the reddest states in the country standing here in a room full of mariju

but there is the joe manchin factor.d about the fact that he's open possibly to getting something passed on clean energy. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. the idea that this is going to get passed in pieces is fallacy. it's a reconciliation bill. it needs all democrats to hang together and you're going to get one crack at it. it will be passed in piece, not pieces. democrats are going to get one more whack at it. the question is when they try again. they don't have 50 votes to spare until the new mexico senator returns after recovery from surgery after suffering a stroke. you're looking at probably a couple of months before we find out what and when joe manchin is willing to move forward on this. he's expressed openness theoretically to some of the clean energy or this bill addresses directly is inflation. so, unless the bill can tackle that or the numbers start to tick back down, manchin seems pretty happy waiting this out. >> thank you, guys. so, the future for farmers looks brighter after years of chaos. . >>> farming

i am not sure why it seems like joe manchin and perhaps a few others who are not as vocal are the onlyet it. how do you square the idea that president biden keeps pushing the notion spending more money will cure inflation? >> he has only got two things he continues to say all the time. one is that oh, inflation is transitory. we just need workers and supply chain out there. and yes we need to spend more per the reality is the first of those notions is wrong for it if you look at the latest inflation numbers we are seeing numbers creep up even in places like services which at last i looked services are not sitting on some cargo ship outside of l.a. but also, spending. this is one of the root problems right now by some estimates the united states federal government is spending one out of every $4 in the country that still washing into the economy states have not worked through the money the feds arty sent to them they are still handing it out. this is behind inflation. the president has not come up with a better message because to do so it would require changing his agenda he does not wa

when you come back and break your own break, don't target senator joe manchin and say, go to his yachter this being blind to your own double standard? >> emily: was it really vitriol or being held accountable for her actions that she couldn't handle? >> kayleigh: and >> morgan: to follow up on kayleigh's point about the boat that he lives on, he has talked openly about how he and his family have received death threats and security issues has been a really big problem for them, so it's not that she just came back and was nasty. she came back and leaned into something that has been physically threatening to him and his family, and that's really dangerous. listen, we are all on social media and we know that there is a lot of vitriol and hatred out there and i suggest everybody try the mute button. i use it on a daily basis. so if you are squawking at me and i don't like you, i just to mute you and i don't even know you're doing it anymore. >> emily: this is essentially approved by our commander in chief who said it following people into bathrooms and things like that, that's all part of t

joe manchin is a former governor. do you think he's gettable on a revised build back better package? secretary raimondo: i do. i think we will get him and i think this is going to happen. >> do you have a timeline? do have a goal or an end date that you are hoping? secretary raimondo: after 10 years in rhode island doing a lot to the legislature, it always takes longer. always. often, with a huge infrastructure package, the speaker of the house supported it from day one. it was supposed to take two months. it took 1.5 years. i don't know. sooner is better. everything takes too long but i feel it would happen. that is my view. >> if i could just quickly follow-up, is there a certain reason that you think the senator is gettable on this? given what we've seen over the last few months. secretary raimondo: well, he has said. he is publicly on record saying he supports the investments to the care economy and to bring about universal pre-k. you know, he supports the job training. he supports a lot of it. so we know there ar

senator joe manchin saying this morning, build back better is still dead, but parts of it could returnr national political reporter sahil kapur is here. you were speaking with him. >> reporter: for senator manchin, build back better is a chapter closed. he's over that debate, and whatever democrats do, they're going to have to rename and rebrand the bill to have any chance at winning his vote, but he said he's willing to save major policies from the original build back better act, and he was remarkably specific in my one-on-one interview what with he's willing to do. put this up on the screen. he's still willing to support aca funding, exed. ed subsidies, expanded medicaid in states that didn't have that coverage gap. clean energy money, about a half a trillion dollars of money which he's not objected to, and a series of tax increases on the wealthy and upper earners. a 25% corporate tax rate, 15% minimum corporate tax, and gains tax. he wants to end loopholes like carried interest and he supports higher individual taxes for the wealthy. now some of these even go beyond what democrats

other than joe manchin, i don't know who would come along.'s time, we went from energy independence to -- frankly, every other policy. i don't see that happening. i wish we would. at the right thing, it's common sense. think about this: talking about weapons and what we need to give to the ukrainians, it would've been nice if at $85 billion of weapons into clement and afghanistan, some of that was in the ukraine right now to help the ukrainian people. it would be nice if the state department would be focused on real diplomacy versus when they send out the email that said "which pronoun do you want to use? we will have gender-neutral passports now" that is the problem: bad decisions early on that put us in this terrible position. ukrainian people feel it. >> do you see any covert operations possible, and a way that we can help these freedom fighters now in ukraine? >> i will be honest: i think the thing -- the only hope that ukraine has is something that has happened in history before, where a military will decide if they can no longer serve t

for example, the trader joe manchin in west virginia. one thing i admire about republicans, they stick together. he is not the president, but now everyone has so much to say. how could somebody like -- how could we go try and help somebody else? they would say, americans, they don't like their own selves. i'm a military man. my son, his kids and his kids kids, so we are all in the military, but is that is where it starts, trader -- traitor joe manchin. for example, we get too much information. they literally gave putin right-of-way to attack ukraine, you know? they are going to be over here, here, the missiles are here. geewhiz, you helped him plan the strategy. host: that is melvin in south carolina. about 10 minutes left in this segment of washington journal. we will be talking about the invasion of ukraine for all three hours of the program. this from the wall street journal today speaking to a question a viewer brought up yesterday about promises made to ukraine back in the early 1990's in exchange for giving up their nuclear weapons
