take joe manchin at his word.on is not to be a spoiler that reelecting donald trump, that's the x factor. we don't know how that ball's going to bounce. he sees himself -- he's trying to be the net beneath the election. if a bunch of x factors occur through court or health scares, this can occur. this is no ordinary time. if these independent third-party candidates are opening the door to potentially electing donald trump running on an autocratic platform, that's a step too far at the wrong time. >> sofia, reading through isaac's reporting this morning and yesterday, i was sitting there wondering is this more than a thorn in the side of president biden and his campaign? it's just something i'm wondering. having this lingering out there, even though he says he doesn't want to be a spoiler, saying he's set the agenda, he's behind president biden's agenda. >> listen, kate, i think what dean phillips is doing and what joe manchin and others in this third-party context are doing it's dangerous. it's dangerous to democr

>> brian: joe manchin. >> ainsley: lots of joes and drinking. >> steve: joe manchin lives on a house> brian: one thing third party candidates don't need introduction. everybody knows them and make the debate exciting if they do, in fact, have debates. >> steve: more on that throughout the morning and throughout the year. we are going to be talking about it for a while. in the meantime, there is an unusual story a crazy story. the father of the man who held a kansas city chiefs watch party at his home is defending his son as questions are swirling over the death of three of the guys friends who were found frozen in the backyard. >> brian: lucas tom lionson joins us with the next wrinkle to this story. >> the father of the man who hosted that watch party for the kansas city chief regular season finale defending his son found dead outside the house. jordan's father said he would never in a millionierees do anything. these were all good friends of his. these are all people who he went to school with and he took them to a football game the day before the chief's game. the father of one of

maria: what about joe manchin?enator, moderate democrat, he calls himself joe manchin, he reportedly spoke at a priva private party over the weekend. he said he plans to speak to joe biden to try to move him to the center. he has considered running as an independent if biden remains too leftist and if trump is the republican nominee. he is not seeking re-election for his senate seat in 2024. what does this mean for the race? several former president barack obama campaign staffers are slamming biden's bid for re-election. one said the vibe was the campaign does not have its blank together. biden's campaign and the dnc said they raised more than $97 million in thereafter three months of 2023. cheryl, it feels like biden and his family want him to keep going, even against obama's wishes. >> you yeah, absolutely. remember, barack obama, remember how long it took him to come out and endorse joe biden in the last election. maria: that's right, i remember that. you're right. >> so there was a lot of talk that barack and m

he was here on no labels and talked about joe manchin possibly running.e says there is a huge thirst for it. >> we've never had this where large percentage of people are not satisfied with the democratic and republican primaries and if not now, when for possibility of people having a choice. i know the game, i played the game, i want to change the game. the game is broken, american people are saying we've had enough, why should american people not deserve another option? if we do this and we will not decide likely until after super tuesday, we will pick a slate to win and it is up to candidates to run a winning campaign. >> brian: only on 14 ballots right now. >> steve: what is before super tuesday? your home state of south carolina is coming up and joe manchin is in south carolina today and tomorrow. coincidence? i don't think so. >> ainsley: never in politics. >> brian: i think he's running, definitely running. >> lawrence: there is bitterness there, joe biden pushed the party so far to the left, jim justice, very popular, decided to get in the race to

rfk and joe manchin, these are democrats. mocrats rebuking incumbent president we see democrat after democrat polls sank we do not want joe biden to be our nominee. he hasn't done hardly any campaign events, to in the past 20. this is a review from his own party and assign other parties splintering you have two parties potentially running different candidates is presidential election. >> i will see you and iowa but i will in new hampshire. hopefully it comes off well. thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> no problem or candidate running for president will undoubtedly have to deal with, the middle east basically inflames, it is on fire. let's watching another airstrike today against houthis rebels yesterday and today and the decision as defense secretary what often remains in the hospital. president biden confused about houthis rebels. >> no. iran does not want work with us. i think they are. >> you think they are? why did you strip them of their terroristic designation as soon as you took office? here to discuss, senior fello

we talk about joe manchin running for president again. do you think he's going to actually doi this? >> i trust isaac's reporting on this. if he says he would not want to cause harm, i would believe that. if not manchin, who will no labels select? they're in 13, 14 states. nevada, arizona where former president trump lost by less than 20,000 votes. if they find a candidate that performs that would benefit donald trump. >> michael, how much do they tear their hair out over joe manchin? i'll ask it like that. >> i know my former colleagues in la, legislative affairs, would be better able to answer that. his posture as a senator has always been that he never wanted to be the vote, the one vote to sink a vote for democrats, which is why you always found him working third ways with susan collins, lisa murkowski and kirsten cinema. i don't think in the end -- i trust isaac's reporting but i don't think in the end he would want to be saddled with the legacy of helping donald trump part 2. >> yeah. shermichael, i wanted to jump over to trump. a v

if it is a rematch, joe manchin is in and no labels would be the place. state ballots, clear 34 states, no way you won't jump in, is that correct? >> no. the clear challenge for no label and this is a great organization who has a venue, they give you venue, where democrats and republicans can sit down and work out differences. that started in 2010. only venue where you could do that. their goal is to create options and their option would be to get on 34 ballots to be serious about attracting anybody to the third party move. >> brian: if they get on the ballot and you are their nominee, do you believe you would win? >> well, i'm not going to be a spoiler, if there is a pathway forward, i've always been involved and competitive, i would definitely want to win and fight to win. i will not go in trying to harm or help somebody else, i want to create a different option bringing americans together. >> brian: robert rice used to work with -- james carville used expletive to describe no labels, how do you describe it? are they right? >> when you create an option,

. >> meantime democratic senator joe manchin says he absolutely sees himself as president. is there a path forward for him and if he runs as a third-party candidate, how might that impact the outcome, do you think? >> i don't think he's going to try to get on all the state ballots himself. he wants to run on this group no labels and whatever they're able to arrange and they do have a lot of money behind him, but he's not going to win the presidency, i'm sorry. if teddy roosevelt couldn't do it as a former president running as the bull moose candidate in 1912 and ross perot couldn't do it with all of his money and appeal in 1992, then i can guarantee you that joe manchin is not going to do it. there's less appeal there than joe manchin thinks there is and the great danger is -- and he's going to have to face up to this -- he could very easy throw this election in the electoral college to donald trump. how would you like that for your legacy if you served as a democratic governor and democratic senator for as long as joe manchin has. so he's got a lot of thinking to do. >> la

manchin saying to me that he does not want to be part of any kind of spoiler effort. he thinks that donald trump was bad for the country. he thinks that joe biden is a decent man but has gone too far to the left. so we are going into a period here where manchin is deciding what do, no labels has said mid march which when they will decide. and yet another question mark as we get into 2024 here in this election year. >> and what do we know about what is going on right now with no labels? you mentioned it is not a surety that they would want him at the top of the ticket for example. what else do we need to know? because i think people are hearing no labels, no labels. >> yeah, and i spent a lot of time talking to members of the no labels leadership, i said do you know who is on the list of people that you are considering. do you know how you will decide which one of those people will be the candidate. do you know who will decide. do you know how you will decide who will decide. none of those things i could get a clear answer on. joe lieberman, had been a democrat and then an independent, he said to me eventually this will crystallize into a

senator joe manchin said he can see himself as president. rt goes on to say manchin called the president a good decent man but said he worries about a white house staff that is dominated by far left liberals. >> he is right about that. one thing the democrats have that republicans don't. they tend to stick together. he will take numbers away from biden. he won't win. he thinks he can. most of the people in the senate think they can be president. >> he has a big ego. he wants to talk about that and get it out there. we know that. but the reality is that joe biden no matter who is surrounding him, he has proven he has gone towards the middle and got democrats on the left and right upset. that's where you want to be. you want a president that is governing. >> harris: would you support joe manchin. >> no, i will support joe biden because he has proven himself. we have a very difficult time out there. inflation, world events that are happening. joe biden has been this steady hand that has delivered for the american people. is it the extraordinary

at the end of the day come i don't think joe manchin wants to hurt joe biden.out. he has announced he's not seeking reelection, which is a shame because i think he can hold onto that seat despite headwinds against him and west virginia. but mike, to your point, that is one of the fears not just of the biden campaign but what i have as well. we have less than come i think % of the votes in 2020 were third-party candidates. you did not have joel stein or others out there that command some sort of audience whether it be that green party libertarians, what have you. to david's point, this race will be decided in a handful of key states. you know, thousands of votes will be determined in so many of those states. anything that disrupts that balance and provides an avenue for people to lodge a protest vote, for example or disengage from the two-party system, i think hurts president biden. >> gillian: something else, david, struck me tonight. the trump victory by a very wide margin. sort of maybe doesn't deal a death now but hinges on the arguments we have been hearing

that's why west virginia democratic senator joe manchin speaks at a politics breakfast cohosted by the new hampshire institute of politics and the new england council. at the breakfast he advocated for term limits in congress and discussed political divisions in the 2024 presidential election. this is less than an hour. first of all, thanks to saint and sims college. this type of agenda being an altar boy for 12 years i feel right about so thanks again. i ami so proud of the representation you have with senator shaheen and some very good friends of mine. governor sununu, we served together as governors. a special bond about governors i can tell you we look at what the problems were that we could help i've always had that mentality since i was raised. when we look at where we were and what we try to accomplish is americans together. people feel homeless and helpless. i feel i've got to pick a side. washington shouldn't make you pick a side. there's only one side. democrat, republican, independent. in this state i understand. this is a bellwether state. that is pretty much where the coun

manchin: yes, joe is a great guy. >> do you think he should reach out to former governor christie and come in, i would like to talk to you? sen. manchin: chris christie is a dear friend of mine. we go back to when we were that is a special bond for governors. john lynch and i know that. we served togejohn is the one that explained to me new hampshire politics. he said, joe, we have 400 people. 400. i am thinking, how do you deal with 400? it is not easy. everyone is involved forget it is democracy can get understand that. i like that. up until 2009, the obamacare at that time started dividing this to pick a side and i could see that. up until that time, you could go to a conference and could not tell who was a republican or democrat. man, it was wonderful to sit down. met romney, i found out about his health care program. i did not have the economy to do what he did but i could tweak it in another. my buddy in georgia on education. my wife is immersed in education and we took his ideas and shared them the crisis we have with mining disasters, we shared them with my friends. all of us

if it's joe manchin with somebody that either is not a very well-known republican or very well-known, it really would take more away from joe biden in certain states especially in i think some of your super tuesday states and some other part. it would be joe biden's fear, i believe. now, if there was a somehow they botched together a ticket that had a stronger democrat like manchin and a stronger republican. then you get into states like utah where it could be a little bit of an interesting thing. there are no republicans i see that would be willing to run on the no labels ticket. >> harris: you don't think it will be haley. >> i think she thinks -- she has aspirations if this didn't work out and young enough to run again. you go to a no labels ticket with either party she is done. >> we've seen former presidents try to get their office back and always been spoilers. they never have actually elected a president and listen, you have joe biden who is one of the most bipartisan presidents we've seen in a generation. i helped found no labels back a decade ago. i don't understand why they

we wanted to talk to you about curious movements about joe manchin. >> i sat add a private meeting. he didn't say i'm running. it's over. he laid out the ground work why he will run. there's some pieces that have to flow in place. donald trump has to win. he absolutely despises donald trump even though if you listen to his commentary, how bad biden has been in terms of turning the country over to a far left agenda, he was -- at least in some stances he was more critical of biden. so i think joe manchin is part of this no labels group. he's seriously thinking about it. if biden is definitely the nominee, he's not convinced yet that he will be the nominee. looks like he will be. if trump is the nominee, again, still some daylight but not a lot, and no labels, the independent group comprised of center left, center right politicians and they hope voters, the vast majority in the middle, he's going to run. he thinks they can get on most of the ballots. it would be a bipartisan ticket. the only way it happens if it biden and trump. the question is who does

you have other options. >> joe manchin said the democratic party is no longer the same party nor is they. as to whether that means joe manchin use his potential candidate to see as an answer coming is noncommittal and offered no timeline whether to run, bret. >> bret: new hampshire, south carolina. >> he is doing the tour. >> bret: rich, thanks. tonight we are learning hollywood entertainment and hunter biden friend kevin morris loaned the president's son $1.5 million more than previously thought. the lawyer from the oversight committee said his client gave hunter biden about $6.5 million in loans. and for us expects to be paid back with interest. george's state senate is joining the prosecutor in the election interference case against former president donald trump pure lawmakers voted to create a special committee to probe allegations here at fulton county district attorney fani willis misspent state money in pursuing the trump matter. the trump legal team is seeking to have fani willis removed from the case. she is also facing allegations of having an appropriate romantic relationship

how would you feel if a bunch of democrats in new hampshire wrote in joe, not biden, but wrote in joe manchin. joe: do whatever you wan do. >> would that inspire you possibly tother states? joe: again, i'm not here campaigning. i'm here basically concerned about my country. the same as you are. i've said this. i have a burn degree sier to save the whatever it takes. i'll lay on the track. i'll do whatever you want me to do. i'm more concerned about my 10 grandchildren and your grandchildren and future generations than i've ever been. i mean that. whatever the gad lord leads me whatever life takes me, i'm willing to do. everything i have to save the country. i think we're on a collision course. discourse you've nev lawlessness is going on right now if you do the crime you got to pay the time. not anymore. you can do grab and smash and steal. let me tell you in west virginia you smash and grab, somebody will smash and grab you. i think new hampshire is probably the same way. let me say one thing if i can real quick.ical identification, i'm a democrat. my grandfather i assume because my state i'

great to see you. >> thank you, fred. >> if joe manchin decides to make a third-party run for presidentdo you think he would pull more votes away from biden or trump? >> almost certainly he would pull a lot more votes from joe biden than he would from donald trump. i don't know what percentage of the vote he would get, but even though he presents himself as a cent ricks democrat, he's moderate liberal. republicans would be angry about some, and -- you can see he has a better chance of growing the electoral college to donald trump, which, by the way, is something he said he was concerned about doing and wouldn't run if he thought that was the case. if somehow he reelects donald trump, i guarantee his name will be black up in history. i think he might want to consider that. >> well, president biden, he did kick off the 2024 election season this weekend with campaign stops in south carolina, and he's looking to bolster support for the general election. today he visited an african american church. this is what he had to sake to many of the voters last night. >> the truth is i wouldn't be wi

this plan works. >>> we're joined by west virginia senator joe manchin. nator, good to have you here. >> good to be with you, margaret. >> in person. you've known joe biden for a very long time, you've known donald trump. what does biden need to do to reverse this trend? >> well, i think basically speaking to the american people on what has been accomplished, what they want to accomplish, mistakes they made and how they're going to correct them. people just want to know the truth. you know, if you make a mistake, say, hey, we made a mistake, we tried something and it didn't work out. i think they moved too far to the left. they need to come back to the center or center left. that's where america is. america is between the center, center left and center right. that's where most of the voters are and that's where it is going to happen. it is not going to happen from extremes. we're playing off the extremes. that's what people are just worn out. enough is enough. >> you said enough for you, you're leaving congress. >> right. i tried everything i could. i'm on

you had joe manchin on "fox news sunday."nts about nikki haley. >> guests. we look at the big endorsements at the last minute and also up i was sick chris was huge the of governors and state that really matter. larry hogan pulling himself out of the chatter about whether he would run third-party very interesting. inside that poll you also saw enthusiasm. when they ask trump supporters are deafly going to turn out are you exceptionally enthusiastic he had like 49% nikki haley had like 9%. so on a day that's going to be what we have tomorrow that could really matter for her. also in that pole her unfavorable's are up 15 points in the last month. are people going to be motivated if they are sort of -- make something building against her at the same time she's picking up momentum and some of the endorsements for quick speaking of momentum there's a lack of it inside the biting campaign is a look at the approval numbers are brought up. they are really low approval numbers especially up against the approval of donald trump the form

senator joe manchin considering a position for no labels if biden and trump are the nominees, believes the group should have a clearer picture of its plan of action by super tuesday. he does say he will not be a spoiler for president joe biden but charlie gasparino is here what he plans to do. >> we should back up a little bit. some of that at that you reported came from a meeting i was at last night with joe manchin where he told a group of about 40 of us, at bob dill insnyder in derry ann, connecticut not iowa but derry ann connecticut, where he essentially said three major things. no labels will decide what to do by super tuesday. that is the tuesday in march where most of the states will have been i guess, the most of the primaries will have taken place that day, the major ones. you will get a good indication who is on the republican ballot. number two, he said he is meeting with president biden. i think this is key. he said he is meeting with him in the coming days to try to talk him off the ledge to going so far left. during the conversation, he was no fan of donald trump and you

>> maybe someone like joe manchin would be someone i would consider. >> joe manchin is a democrat who is not running for reelection but hasn't ruled out running for president as a third party candidate. these new hampshire republicans tell us this about the iowa caucuses. >> it's a good start. >> will you all be voting on tuesday? >> absolutely. >> obviously, donald trump is in the driver's seat, but the people in our group who support hnikki haley and ron desantis al say they are keeping the faith. >> thank you. it's always interesting. particularly interesting is the amount of voters he talked to that raise their hand and say character matters, but the same voters said still if they are unconfidentable with trump's things he says. >> it reminds me of the conversation with the pastors yesterday. >> right. character is not the most important thing for those v voters. >> we have a lot ahead in the race for the white house. kasie hunt with us in manchester. >> the big question this morning. does new hampshire give nikki haley any chance to change the trajectory of this race? it might. w

. >>> senator joe manchin speaking for the first time since former president donald trump's landslide victory in iowa. here what he told cnn about a potential third-party bid and hihis thoughtsts on plplaying s in 2024.4. >>> he says he is not campaigning but senator joe manchin is acting like he is. he just spoke with cnn about donald trump's historic win last night. >> chief congressional correspondent is on capitol hill you just spoke with him, what did he say? >> he said it would be extremely tough to run as a third-party candidate and win. he also told me in talking to voters it is clear there looking for an alternative to biden and trump. >> i think it is too early to tell, but once you know you have a main democrat candidate and made republican candidate, after super tuesday that is sorted out then they will look for an alternative. >> if you gain support of those supporters who do not like donald trump wouldn't that effectively -- >> i come from conservative democrats. where are they? have they gone independent or identified as democrats? it is hard to say. >> you would peel a

>> look, i believe that joe manchin is out of the game for labels right now.the looking at other folks in that area. we believe that they tend to draw more conservative democrats in our polling and modeling, and frank and i can disagree on this. i don't believe that in an election where we all agree that donald trump is backed by an authoritarian movements, and that donald trump is a fundamentally and small d democratic person, who does not believe and the constitution, who will call on the american republic, who comes and to the election with tremendous advantages. for me, right now, i love the idea of a third party, a broader party system. but like st. augustine said, this is a moment where we are in a fight between joe biden and donald, trump everything else is a distraction, everyone else puts this country at risk. if we believe the luxury good of imagining that a third party could win 270 electoral college votes, which has never happened, and will not happen in our lifetime, given the two party system, we are not going to be in a state where we have a lov

charles: what is interesting, i went to a reception on sunday where they featured joe manchin, an interestingline right. has to beat biden and get on all the tickets and make a decision whether he can win. she doesn't want to be a spoiler. he made an interesting comment about nikki haley. if she doesn't win new hampshire or doesn't come really close, he thinks she drops out before south carolina. he doesn't think she will roll the dice in south carolina. when i talked to money guys, she's going to drop out. diane: labels. neil: if you are talking to money guys it is next week to determine if trump comes out of that really strong it is going to be hard for nikki haley and ron desantis to raise money. charles: are any of them know labels? charles: we do know inside know labels, independent nonpartisan moderate democrats and republicans like joe lieberman, joe manchin, larry hogan, he's going to support nikki haley but she might be a know labels candidate. neil: they like to run a republican with a democrat. charles: so that is where we are right now. next week is more of a hotel in terms of the

does not get tulsi gabbard or joe manchin as running mate. host: we will talk more about 2020 for later in the program. this deal the headline talks about, congress reaches a $1.6 trillion deal on spending levels. washington times noting the pact is critical to avoiding a government shutdown and it keeps in line with last year's deal. speaker johnson sending out a letter to his house repuic colleagues, this is what he had to say in that letter.

molly:hey just have to meet joe manchin? sen. manchin:hether it ime or somebody. wh you have a poll that is 60% or something that don't want joe biden or donald trump? they don't know what they want. i really don't know. the system should be more competitive. you better figure out the root prlem, the root proem while we are divided is 380 to 390 congressiol districts are already determined. basically there's not much of a const. maybe you change it to jority wins, you don't ge 51%, you continue until you get 51%. that might be the easiest way to change to get more diversity. they ca't predetermine and the two-party system can't say they own you. molly: asomeone who habeen critical of the two-rty system -- sen. manchin: i'm not critical of it, just think about it, is the biggest business in town. the last election was a $6 billion race. -- the 2016 election was a $6 billion race and 2020 was $20 billion. it's profitable. i don't expect them to change. molly: why did you stay a democrat all these years, why not be an independent? sen. manchin: you think i'm going to

senator joe manchin attacked biden's broad guidance that gives e.v.ties that actually don't need it instead of prioritizing low income areas. he says the administration will not stop ignoring the law in pursuit of its radical climate agenda no matter the cost. this proposed guidance completely spits in the face of rural america. biden also hit the brakes on a major energy product. "the new york times" is reporting the white house will delay its decision to approve the massive natural gas project. a "wall street journal" editorial argues the move could harm the economy and u.s. national security. ben domenech. fox news contributor, editor of the spectator. i'm starting to think the white house is not gifted at green things. >> i think that one of the things that we have to understand about this agenda is that it is not motivated by what's in the best interest of america or american consumers. look, if american consumers want to purchase electric vehicles, if there is that demand that's there of course it should be something they're able to do. this is

does it look like joe manchin? does it look like nikki haley?s it look like some of the we don't even know? yet >> i would just quote charles blow, new york times opinion columnist. he said that trump won't go away, he will just have to be defeated, and haley can't defeat him because she has no answer for the central problem. she is -- a group of voters who are religiously devoted to him. i don't know if joe -- exactly, third-party seems to just benefit trump. but you know what, we have to ask these third-party people what they're doing. >> we will, alexi mccammond, you are going to stick around with us because we have a lot more that we want to talk to about. likewise, some of those experts out there think that donald trump is actually losing the long game despite winning big in iowa and new hampshire. yeah, we are going to talk about here on the weekend. on the weekend. ay series footlong. except when you add a new footlong sidekick. like the ultimate bmt with the new footlong pretzel. nothing like a sidekick that steps up in crunch time.

sonali: you have senator joe manchin vowing a hearing to investigate the export freeze. talk us through the pushback that the biden administration is facing and how that might play out in its decision-making. kailey: senator manchin is a democrat from west virginia and he is probably the loudest voice in opposition on the democratic side, but he is important because he is the chairman of the senate energy and natural resources committee. essentially what he is saying is the administration owes it to the people to explain their thinking, but if it were to be found that this is only politically motivated, he would do everything he can to essentially stop this pause from taking place. on the other side of the aisle, the republican site, a lot of pushback, including speaker of the house mike johnson, who released a statement about an hour or two ago essentially saying that this is outrageous, he says the administration is asking american taxpayers to spend billions to defeat russia while forcing allies to rely on russian energy. he says this gives vladimir putin an advantage
