so dan, inflation has been the worry as joe manchin said. this week we got a new one slowing economic growth. what impact do you think this is going to have on the prospects of passing a big tax increase as part of "build back better"? >> it is only a prospect insofar as joe manchin said he might be in favor of it. it is crucial additional votes democrats need and of course the democrats do want to raise tax people. listening to joe manchin it was as if they had edited out a link between the fact we are having this inflation now and he wants to raise taxes. there is no theory i am aware of that says you raise taxes during a period of inflation and a slowing growth unless your goal is to produce a recession, paul that is one technique for slowing inflation there is no question about it. so i am not sure were paired with joe manchin you never know he plays his cards pretty close to his chest you'd never know where he is going to come out. he has backed there as well some real ideas about doing something on energy that would increase natural ga

republicans are guilty of this but the biggest culprit is a democrat, joe manchin profiting off of and crisis for decades. it goes back to the 1980s when manchin was a state senator. he helped the grant town power plant secure a permit and went into business with them selling a particularly nasty type of cold waste called gob for the plant to burn. spewing toxic chemicals into the air and continued to gain influence in politics, manchin was able to use that to benefit the plant. he over saw legislation that designated waste coal as an alternative energy. years later manchin helped fight off attempts by the obama administration to regulate coal ash a toxic byproduct of waste coal and surprise, surprise, he used the infrastructure bill to increase federal funding for clearing abandoned mine sites of waste, the type of work that's performed by his company. now run by his son. this while holding up president biden's legislation that would help transition the u.s. away from dirty energy, which is absolutely necessary toed address the climate crisis and while manchin made gobs of money off h

councilwomen khalil: joe manchin, this is really important. why bring up joe manchin? he has been the state senator, the governor, and the u.s. senator for west virginia. he has driven it into the ground. we must not allow that to happen for pennsylvania. we must lift pennsylvania and make sure we clean up our state. we bring back jobs, improve education. pennsylvanians will go up in the quality of life and not go down. we cannot -- not become west virginia. >> on this question it is a little different. i'm going to ask for you to raise your hands. a yes/no question. for democracy related questions. i believe this goes to representative kenyatta. rep. kenyatta: i will take it. >> oh, that's right. the moderator screws up too. i'm going to ask for questions about democracy and get you to raise your hand. raise your hand if you support the positions or issues i mentioned and we will discuss. raise your hand if you support abolishing the electoral college. rep. kenyatta: this is as a group right? >> yes. we will go back, eliminating the senate filibuster. expanding the nu

there has been so much focus on joe manchin. what agenda he may be able to control with his 50 vote. what do you think is -- the key will be if you become a senator? guest: putting aside your own demands, it is your way or the highway and finding ways to compromise that are beneficial to the people we represent. the infrastructure bill, that was tremendous for remote s-4 vermont and all of our states. there is an intersection where trucks come down the hill and comes into an intersection where parents are brain kids to school. it is a dangerous intersection. with the instruction bill we are going to fix that. that means kids whether they voted for trump were biden they will have a safer intersection. we bring down the cost of prescription drugs and make prescription drugs affordable that is good and read in a blue america. there are things we can do that are going to help our folks. broadband is an example. that is beneficial for folks who ever they voted her. host: massachusetts mike. caller: i disagree with your posture, your

instead of the build back better bill, because there is opposition from joe manchin, there has been an effort to rebrand some partyline efforts, whether it is prescription drugs, long the cost of insulin, we will see some effort to address inflation. whether or not that succeeds is an open question. i think the senate democratic leadership and house leadership wants to get something like that done before the midterm elections. host: anything else the biden administration would like to add to that list? guest: they will take anything they can get on that reconciliation effort. we have noticed them in particular, in addition to all the things that we have laid out here, senator manchin in particular, joe biden is also jazzed to be talking about the deficit going down. they would love to be able to do something to talk to democrats, particularly those in vulnerable swing districts, the way they can maximize their chances. people are not so bullish on holding house in particular. being able to say that we did x, y, z, and republicans did not want to do x, y, z, and that is the argument the

>> in reality none of us so we have test joe manchin. we pass it in the house i voted for it enthusiastically. i think we break them down, child care tax credit making childcare affordable in vermont a young family pays about 30% electric charging station and also subsidies good for all of america. by the way it is paid for and that is another thing that is really important. but it all depends on joe manchin and kyrsten sinema and what world they negotiated none of us really know. i continue to hope and have some confidence because as i say these are not partisan provisions they are beneficial to both sides very. >> we are with peter welch is my the democrat from vermont the at-large member from vermont. this is a brian in tampa, florida, republican good morning. >> good morning. i have got a couple of things. first of all i want to say of course nobody wants communism in this country. but, what is it about reneging of the treaties we have with the intermediate range missiles that are facing russia where it isn't that is going into ukrai

>> well, manchin is right on and for god's sake, joe, give it up. nobody believes you.omething about putin, yeah. bearing some responsibility for inflation in the game here. but day one, what is the first thing you did? got rid of the xl pipeline for pete's sake take responsibility and while i'm talking about the xl pipeline he is in iowa today, bret, and is he talking about ethanol and he is asking the e.p.a. to look the other way as you reported. ethanol creates smog for god's sake. so we're going to have more ethanol and more smog. joe biden is creating smog? the e.p.a. and the police should lock him up. you can't do that i mean, why is ethanol smog better than what fossil fuel does? >> bret: larry summers, leslie, has been talking about this for a long time. obviously a democrat. worked in democratic administrations. but talking over the weekend about what this potentially means seeing the writing on the wall. take a listen. >> the painful fact though is is that historically when we have had inflation and we have had unemployment below 4 essentially always since wor

joe manchin once a bill aimed at deficit reduction.ease corporate taxes and he would use half of that money to reduce the deficit. saying, if you want my vote, this is what i want in return. democrats could get some of those original agenda items but this is early days on that and it is a longshot at this point on whether any version of build back under remains i think what i want to do because it sometimes hurts my own head. i want to lay out for viewers the chances of survival. we put together this graphic. it talks about the path ahead for the different issues. first of all, on the left side, more likely, ukraine funds. add is more likely to g through congress in the coming weeks. more in the middle, talking about covid funds. that is a hot political issue. republicans do not trust democrats a politics are involved. in the middle, trickier, the china competitiveness bill and chips. unclear to see where that ends. the longshots include things that we were just talking about including the joe manchin deficit bill, building back better

manchin and everybody else in the mathieu world? joe: it is bubbling.uld not be having this conversation right now if the white house took that more seriously. the $1.5 trillion that joe manchin said he was open to passing nine months ago would be even more than likely generated right now. so i do wonder if there is a little bit of remorse at the white house about this. but joe manchin says he's talking to republicans here about a climate energy bill so that democrats would not have to use reconciliation to do it. imagine a world in which republicans vote yes for a climate bill that came from the democratic administration. it only could have been with the help of the general and from west virginia. tom: what is so important here within the battle and the politics, greg valliere mentions this with agf this morning, how shockingly alone the progressives are right now. how alone is alone for the left? joe: i will also note that greg valliere, who i spoke with last evening, struck a note of optimism in his outlook for the week, suggesting that the doom and

. >> thank you and i admire joe manchin, it is your senator, i will look for the joe manchin the room because when you have all of this polarization, if the rest of us in the middle with a nation just is not working for us as your senator among other with a bone to pick, i will go there to actually get things done so our lives can be better and that iss the point of it all is to get people in office who will work for you would not go and find a video on television viral video to then fund raise, how will work for you. >> were running short onrwi time itself jeff bartos 30 seconds. >> i thoughtf it was so clever that it got joe manchin and then coming out off so i'm going to come up with another one although i will add joe manchin to that andho i would also add lieberman a deep manjo of faith, and a great advocate for the u.s. relationship so someone fought hard over the years to keep a nuclear weapon of the hands of iran, and have a robust foreign policy in the middle east and a man that i know who lives his faith and so i admire senator lieberman be think that we have joe manchin in

also harshly critical of moderates like joe manchin for stopping a bulk of president joe biden's agendaou are looking for a joe manchin democrat, i am not your candidate. >> reporter: but don't voters want some level of bipartisanship, some pragmatism to their politics and not for one party going too far? >> i agree. i also want a full head of hair, but realistically that's not going to happen right now. >> reporter: fetterman says he's within the democratic mainstream. >> i don't mean to nitpick but i wouldn't categorize myself as progressive. i consider myself a democrat that's running on the same platform of ideas that every other democrat in this race is running on. if a moderate democrat is somebody that would break with the rest of the caucus and screw up build back better or the democratic agenda, then i'm not a moderate. >> reporter: connor lamb has been known to buck his party, including by opposing nancy pelosi as speaker. but even as lamb has aligned with fetterman on progressive views such as gutting the filibuster, he has struggled to keep pace in fund-raising and the polls

i asked senator joe manchin if he thought the democrats had a cohesive strategy.t in sync with the other 49. that's something you hear from meblgs who say there's not much time left. a lot of members are saying it's up to me at this point to go back to my district and state, run against washington, and speak out for whatever i think my voters need. that is the strategy a lot of democrats deploy, but they say there isn't a co-see hiv message right now from their leadership and democrats at large. >> senate republicans and democrats are sparring over ukraine funding. is biden's $33 fbillion proposa going to pass? >> it will take time. you heard republicans say they went to look through this proposal. they have concerns about the divide between military funding, as well as humanitarian funding. saying they think ukraine is going to need more money for weapons than might be in the supplemental. you also have to write this legislation. that takes a lot of time. so don't expect this to come up next week, especially because the house is already gone for a week-long reces

be accepted money from joe manchin's pack. we have to start being honest about what's going on, what's inhibiting progress and will make sure all of ohioans can be healthy moving forward. >> i give you a moment to robot but let's first go to ms. johnson. on the subject of healthcare, medical debt is a big problem. leading cause of bankruptcy , how do you plan to address the ever increasing costs of healthcare even with things like obamacare? >> healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. there are 60 million people without health care for obamacare but we have healthcare. we need to make it a functional affordable and accessible and then take a viable system and then transition it into medicaid for all which is healthcare for all. so i challenge my opponent morgan on the difference between our current healthcare system and medicaid for all system. we have to make sure that not only are we looking at healthcare, we have to make sure we're looking at mental health services as well. make sure that people have the mental health

. >> but you've got to get all of that past joe manchin.areria. >> sorry. go ahead. >> there's no secret that, yes, there's a critical vote needed in the united states senate. i know the administration is still talking to joe manchin. joe manchin is, i think, trying to work with some colleagues to see what can be brought together. so, i still hold out hope that congress can step up and pass critical climate legislation, which i might comment, is not -- it shouldn't be partisan. really this is a matter of national security. it costs us tens of hundreds of billions of dollars to clean up after the now much more intense storms that we're experiencing, which are coming as a consequence of climate change. and the fact is that we would be much better off and the president knows this and is trying to point this out to congress and others, if we were to eliminate the need to spend all of that money simply to clean up after a storm because we have adequately invested in avoiding the storms in the first place. the fact is -- >> let me ask -- let me j

joe manchin will not pay for seniors to get free dental and vision saying we can't afford it.is there a way to monitor whether the people like the joe manchins you're talking about, any member of congress, can benefit from these higher prices and the push through the pentagon of higher budgets? >> of course they benefit. benefit in terms of the pork that comes to a lot of they're states. members of congress, wisconsin progressive house member on my show the other day made point arms company in his district pressuring to vote for more spending. that is always a political pressure when you have quote/unquote jobs dependent on the defense industry and of course, defense lobbyists who contribute to campaigns. lockheed martins and wraith yons. we understand the gun lobby. why don't we understand the power of the arms industry when it comes to this. president eisenhower, general eisenhower, in farewell address back in 1961, i warn you, war you, again unwarranted iran sfluns of the military industrial xplex. eisenhower said that today, dismissed as a far-left crank or putin apologist

my opponent said he was doing what he could to be able to pass that it was money from joe manchin's pack. get details about what's going on and what's going to make sure all ohioans can be -- moving forward. >> ms. jones on the subject of health care medical debt is a very big problem in the state in the biggest cause of bankruptcy but how do you plan to adjust the ever-increasing costs of health care even with things like obamacare? >> health care should a right and not a privilege. they are 60 million people without health care before obamacare. we need to make it functional affordable and accessible and then take a viable system and trish and dashed transition it into medicaid for all which is health care for all. so i challenge my opponent morgan on the difference between our current health care system and her medicaid for all system. we have to make sure that not only are we looking at health care, we have to make sure we are looking at mental health services as well. we have to make sure that people have the mental health careey tt they need. we have to make sure we grow this

we are still watching senator joe manchin of west virginia.g talks with democratic leader chuck schumer. they just talked on monday. however, what joe manchin wants right now is a bill that is aimed at deficit reduction. he would increase corporate taxes, which is what a lot of democrats want to do. but he would use half of that money to reduce the deficit. sort of what he's saying, if you want my vote, this is what i -- what i want in return. now, democrats could try and get some of that original -- those original agenda items, maybe child care, maybe some health care provisions in that. but this is early days on that. and, really, it kind of is a longshot at this point on whether any version of build back better remains. i think what i want to do, because this is so much, it sometimes hurts my own head to talk about all these things. i want to lay out for viewers the chances of survival of all the different issues that we're talking about. so we put together this graphic. this is talking about the path ahead for all the different issues that

>> the biggest concern for joe manchin.rting the build back better. i can tell you being on capitol hill every day he doesn't say the words build back better anymore. he won't mention it in the hallways. he says it's dead. when he saw the record high inflation come out, he said it's out of control. he said the administration dragged their feet on this. i think democrats are looking at the stack of problems against them. they know that inflation is high. they know gas prices are high. they're looking at the number of retirements, 31 democrats retiring. they're also looking at the enthusiasm gap wear more republicans are more enthusiastic to vote. they're realizing they need to get better turn out. >> maria, when it comes to inflation, there's not much the president can do about it? >> there's not much he can do about it. at the same time people's perception is important. they look at the numbers. doesn't matter we have low unemployment. doesn't matter gas prices are going down a little bit. the perception is things are more

senator joe manchin calling it a frightening decision. other democrats have been more welcoming.oncern that more migrants will try to cross the u.s.-mexico border in the next few weeks. vi victor. >> thank you. >>> cnn went inside a women's center in poland and spoke with a new mother who made this dangerous journey out of ukraine so that her baby could be born away from the dangers of war. elf stressed, dry and sandpaper. strypaper? luckily, there's biotrue hydration boost t eye drops. biotrue uses naturally inspired ingredients. and no prereservatives. try biotrue! shopping on public wifi is sketchy. but with aura digital security, my devices are protected in like 3 minutes. protect your wifi, credit, passwords and more. try for free at aura.com i should buy this... oooh socks! >>> let's go now to zaporizhzhia, our ivan watson is there. there is this convoy of buses, people allowed to leave mariupol. ivan, what are you seeing? >> reporter: well, the buses have finally arrived from the russian occupied city of berdiansk. it was around noon local time that they left and they've c

secondly, biden needs to pick up the phone and call joe manchin and say i will do what you want. you have to give me drug price controls, prekindergarten stuff, you have to tax big companies. there are things that manchin would agree to, and biden needs to get something done to show the public that he can do something, for example, about drug prices. tom: if we get a republican house or senate, how does that change 1600 pennsylvania avenue? greg: in norma sleep. the house of representatives is a likely bet to flip, then i think the biden agenda is pretty much finished. he can still do regulatory stuff, affect the financial industry, the sec, things like that, he would still be involved in geopolitics, but in terms of an agenda on fiscal policy, it would be over. kailey: is it over for his climate agenda as he looks to ethanol, taps the spr, pivoting back to fossil fuels and look face of higher energy costs? greg: i think the environmental movement is stunned. they are on the defensive. i think biden has had to make sacrifices here. i think his need for fossil fuels goes against t

joe manchin isn't going to run for president, but i like that attitude. i really do. think the democrats have to do some recruiting because there is not even -- nancy pelosi is a dayhe from retiring and we are e young leaders. good luck with that. you have christina home, who else, senator josh hawley. everybody else i mentioned is out running so if trump comes in that willl be it. i think that he's maneuvering that way. if you talk about next generation it's like seven or eight i think there's a lot of people that came out of the trump administration withe so much promise and i think mike pence did a great job. one of the finest people i will ever meet and will get the country in the right direction. it's hard to hate mike pence. he's a great person. on the left i think the reasonno joe biden's even president right now is because bernie sanders couldn't get elected. one is 80 and the other is about to turn 78 so the next generation has to show themselves but isop representedy 93 people in the house and that is we just found out it doesn't represent the country so i c

especially a hot button issue for border state democrats but when you talk about inflation, and joe manchin been able to pass a lot of its spending initiatives when you're talking about build back better and the remains of it, what's going to happen there, you know, they look at the economy, joe manchin cites inflation as a reason that he's not going to sign on to any more spending because he thinks it's going to make this problem worse , and i think that's where you're getting into an interesting space where it's a political good point to want to cancel student debt, but is it going to have the inflationary impact? what position does that put moderate democrats in because they would love to be able to cancel student debt for people but are they worried about the economy? so i think we'll see them have to sort of square that circle. neil: they are in a tough time doing that jacqui heinrich thank you very much and speaking of the whole student debt issue and where things stance, aishah hasnie on capitol hill with the appetite for that on the hill. what are you hearing? reporter: oh, the appe

they say joe manchin did agree when you look at what she's still not exactly on the same page of senator someone during the k.b.j. con are that's sort of the sense the democrats are feeling, like they still need to get something downopinion and the feeling is that there's going to be a difficult road ahead for democrats because there is still this tension. >> what do you make of that? do you go the carville route or the elizabeth warren route here? is it enough to sell what democrats have done or do they need to pass legislation? >> i think he hit the nail on the head when he said there are a couple things democrats can compromise on. we know we have control of the senate, we have control of the house and of the white house. we do not know if that will be the case after november, which is why we can in pass legislation that address that addresses the earned income packs cred pit we also and p but it's all democrats. do a better job of selling. we just first the first african-american woman on the supreme court. unemployment is down to 3.6%, covid deaths are down by 75% there's a lot this

senator joe manchin, the decision to lift title 42 frightening.e are already facing unprecedented increase in migrants this year, and that will only get worse if the administration and title 42. we are not prepared to deal with the influx. until we have bipartisan reform that commits our borders and provides a pathway to citizenship, title 42 must stay in place. that is what joe manchin had to say. this is roy in austin, texas. republican. good morning. caller: i hope you're having a great day so far. first off, let me say it, if we lived in a perfect world, we would not need to title 42. but we don't. let me make this point. joe biden has done a number of things in office, and it is like he did not think about the repercussions of what he did. i think with title 42, he is doing the same. i live in texas, not that far from the border. if people don't live in a state on the border, they don't understand what we deal with a in and day out with the influx. i don't know how they can speak intelligently about it. a while back, new york gave voting righ

and also harshly critical of moderates like joe manchin for stopping a bulk of joe biden's agenda. >>your candidate. >> don't voters want some level of bipartisanship, some pragmatism to their politics and fraught for one party to go too far? >> i agree. i also want a full head of hair, but realistically, that's not going to happen right now. >> he says he's within the democratic main stream. >> i don't mean to nit-pick, but i wouldn't categorize myself as progressive. i consider myself a democratic running on the same platform of ideas any other democrat in this race is running on. if a moderate democrat is someone who would break with the rest of the caucus and screw up build back better or the democratic agenda, then i'm not a moderate. >> conor lamb, a centrist, has been known to buck his party, including by apoeing nancy pelosi as speaker, but even as lamb has aligned with fetterman on progressive views such as gutting the filibuster, he has struggled to keep pace in fund-raising and the polls. and he's now sharpening his attacks against the fr front-runner. >> a lot of people in

it even pushes away reality-based senators like joe manchin. stuart: yeah.the party all over again. i want to bring this to your attention, but about an hour ago the first bus full of my grants from texas -- your state -- arrived right outside the fox bureau washington d.c. seems to me that this marks the success of texas' policies of busing people from from texas to d.c. the motion they walk across the border. this is -- the moment they walk across the border. >> yeah. i think there's two big takeaways. i do diners for "fox & friends" on a fairly regular basis, and when immigration comes up, this is a policy suggestion i hear from average americans all the time. hey, you know when politicians would care? if these illegal immigrants showed up on their doorstep, if they were in their district or on the doorsteps of congress, and is here they are. here all of a sudden is that policy proposal coming to reality. but the second is i've talked to ken paxton and lieutenant governor dan patrick on "fox & friends," and they said this is clearly to push a constitution

they can't do it because joe manchin and a few other senators won't blow up the filibuster, so the only hope of passing legislation to deal with problems to the electoral count act, and other risks to election subversion, is for them to be a bipartisan deal. from what i understand there's still conversations going on with joe manchin, susan collins, and others. so i don't think that effort is quite dead, though we haven't heard much about it over the last few months. i think there's a realization that, if it doesn't happen soon. it's not going to happen in the next congress, if kevin mccarthy is in charge of the house of representatives, there is no way that a trump fluky like that is gonna pass laws to make it harder to steal an election. >> so, let me see if i can ask another way, which is between now, in 2024, which is the moment you are, and a lot of americans, including myself, are concerned about. a potential repeat. what other actions can be taken? either congress, executive order, outside of either of those branches, on a state legislative level, that can shore up election secur

those provisions became part of legislation introduced by senator joe manchin called the freedom to vote act including the variety of provisions but ensuring early voting existed across the land and the american people, finding themselves in a situation of a narrow window on one day to exercise their precious right to vote. that is something that should be uniformly available across the country there's access to adequate polling sites so that certain people in certain communities, then black and brown communities find themselves in a situation where there's an adequate site on accessibly long lines and voter participation, in other communities needed to be uniform as well that there are transparency reforms, access to paper ballots in the context of electronic voting so the american people can continue to feel comfortable. these are generally noncontroversial things the american people uniformly, the senate is a peculiar institution, controversial, and one point that troubles me is in the passage of the 1965 voting rights act passed on a bipartisan basis in the house and senate, southern

. >> joe manchin saying, i don't want this, i don't like the spending. then you have republicans saying, no, we don't want to do anything because a democrat is president, therefore, no space program. then you have african-americans, latinos, lgbtq people aren't even in the room. they weren't even in the room when they divided up $1.7 trillion. to me, the diversity of the country and the different interests and one party saying they don't even care about democracy at all, how do you actually get the senate -- let's just say the senate. the senate is ungovernable. >> case closed, the senate is a disaster. it was a structural disaster. it was a disaster at birth. this notion of two per state. the founders never dreamed there was going to be a place with a place named california with all of these spanish names and was going to have a population that approached the size of france. new york was your biggest thing and it wasn't that much bigger than the other ones. so the two per state thing has become an utter disaster. that working across the street there in

. >> moderate democrats like senator joe manchin voicing concerns about a potential surge of migrants to the united states. he said, "we are nowhere near prepared to deal with that influx." what's your response to that line of thinking? >> well, you know, the border has largely been closed to asylum seekers over two years now. those suffering have a chance to have a legal avenue to safety is a really positive thing. asylum seekers flee their country, routine answer lives because they have to, fleeing horrendous conditions because their lives are at risk, their children's lives at risk, not because's u.s. policies. much of the backlog is due to policies such it's a title 42, prevented them from seeking asylum for years. we've recently seen countries in europe step up in response to ukrainian refugee crisis on a greater scale, limited resources and almost no time to prepare bp . we can do this together. communities are ready, ready to work with the administration and it's our legal and moral imperative to create a fair system that supports the rights of asylum seekers. >> the distinctio
