senator joe manchin in a few short weeks, senator manchin, we all call him joe will be retiring, but safe to say he's guaranteed us that it will not be the last time that we hear from him. before he leaves us, i'd just like to take a moment to highlight my perspective as impressive successful career for the country, but particularly for our state of west virginia. i'd also like to acknowledge joe's better half, gail up there. and his wonderful family. gail has endured all of the hard work that comes with public service in her own right and i would like to personally thank her and both of them as a great couple, but also, a wonderful and beautiful family that you have. i'm so happy that they're here today. it seems like just like yesterday that joe was knocking on my door at 1010 wilkey drive in charleston, west virginia. he was there to measure the carpet in the house that i was-- my husband and i had just purchased as newlyweds. this was over 40 years ago. and he measured that carpet and he told me after i recounted the story to him later, he could lay that carpet today if he needed

senator joe manchin. in just a few short weeks, senator manchin -- we all call him joe -- will be retiring from the senate. it's safe to say and he's already guaranteed us that it will not be the last time we hear from him. before he leaves i want to take a moment to highlight my perspective of his impressive and successful career for the country and particularly our state of west virginia. i would also like to acknowledge joe's better half gayle, up there, and his wonderful family. gayle has endumped all the hard work that comes with public service in her own right and i would like to personally thank her and both of them as a grate couple but also a wonderful and beautiful family that you have. i'm so happy that they're here today. it seems like just like yesterday that jove was knocking e -- owe that joe was knocking on my door at 1010wilke drive in charleston, west virginia. he was there to measure the carpet in the house that i was oh owe my husband and i had just purchased as newlyweds. this was over

for joe's family it was the awful day that the manchin grocery store burned down. ence. something my late father always talked about. and the importance of leaning on your community to rebuild from tragedy. that's something any new yorker will relate to. yes, mr. president, it's with common threads that fill me today with gratitude. these are links that shape who joe manchin, the public servant, is at his core. someone who wants to keep alive the very same american dream his family got to enjoy, a place where hard work, community, and equal opportunity are the keys to a better life. some of the biggest accomplishments of the past few years would not have been done without joe's help. he was always able to reach across the aisle to help us achieve the kind of bipartisan legislation we're so proud of in these past two senate's. without him, we couldn't have gotten the inflation reduction act done. he was a persistent, a tiger on that one. he and i got alone together, in one week, we sat in a room, little room, no one knew we were negotiating the ira, joe didn't want a

welcome senator joe manchin to the walk away movement.arty lost its way. it is leaderless, chicken without the head. nobody knows who is running the country, harris and biden are in hiding and obama has gone into a missing person conundrum, as well. nancy pelosi is hospitalized. democratic party, whowere ever was running this paefrt forgot america first, liberty and freedom, faith, constitution and rights of individuals. senator joe manchin said he hoped for a new american party, not realizing that the party today and tomorrow is the republican party under america first trump-led party. that is why i left the democratic party and i was loyal democracy in california. >> carley: you answered that question. w "wall street journal" published a fascinating piece a couple hours ago about how the democratic party is in crisis. they write, trump's victory triggered anxiety among democrats including if their party is too elite and fixated on identity politics. so this is a moment in time, gloria, how long will it last until the party course correc

talking of joe, i want to talk about senator joe manchin.delivered a parting shot to democrats as he prepared to exit congress after 15 years. listen to this. >> it's been so maligned from the standpoint of just it's toxic. they have basically expanded upon thinking, well, we want to protect you there but we're going to tell how to live your life. the progressive left, which was always the minority. ashley: you know what? i think that's the crux of it, isn't it, charlie? they're the minority but they're toxic and they led the way and it led the way to the party's downfall. >> yeah. i think you're right about that. and if you stop to think about it, i mean, the democrat party has every institutional advantage you could possibly imagine from sort of the whatever you want to call it deep state, bureaucracy of washington is we'ded to the democrat party, the political media is weded to the democrat party. they have all these institutional advantages. despite the institutional advantages the party really has turned completely toxic and people are

you just heard what senator joe manchin thought of that idea. so who's right? m back with my panel. so susan, is the democratic brand really is bad, as manchin says it is. >> it's as undefined. they need to be more liberal. they need to be more conservative for eight years, the democratic party has been defined by being not donald trump. and that is maybe enough when you're in the minority, it is maybe not enough to get you back in a majority. >> it's such a good point. just a view of how the people view the democratic party. according to this pew research poll that came out recently, 23% of 43% of americans say the democratic party represents me. well, that is down from 2020 and down pretty substantially since 2016, about eight points. so democrats clearly have some work to do. >> that's right. i mean, it is also possible that not being donald trump will be their ticket back to relevance, right? i mean, the democrats this week were watching what was unfolding on capitol hill, just sort of going let them fight. and they they really assume that trump is going to

it was president biden, joe manchin influence in the senate.me as this is a toxic party. that is why i left. they have a lot of rethinking and rebuilding to do. i think still has influence because of how influential he was when he was in the senate. also because the democrats are trying to figure out what is next for them. what went wrong in 2024. what they need to do to rebuild. when he says something like the party shifted away from the party of good jobs and looking out for the working class to a party of caring too much about social issues, i think democrats have to take note. this is what they are struggling to try to figure out. >> who fills the void here? we have heard a lot from senator john fetterman. did we just lose phil? okay. alex, back to you. i will ask you that question. who fills the void right now? is it john fetterman now, this interest democrat who seems to be trying the consensus builder? >> i think so. i think that a is slipping into the spot that mentioned in kyrsten sinema from arizona had -- which is basically, i'm will

it's joe manchin. he is an independent. he used to be a democrat.ically considered himself like caucusing with the democrats. now he's got some very bleak forecasting. if rick can't give us the forecast because the battery is dead, joe manchin can step in with a forecast that nobody in the democratic party is going to want to hear. >> i am not a democrat in the form of what the democratic party, what its turned itself into, the national brand, absolutely not. the brand got so bad, it's so maligned from the standpoint of just it's toxic. they have basically expanded upon thinking, well, we want to tell how to live your life. peter: i went to a couple dozen rallies this cycle for g joe bin and the kamala harris rallying cry would be we're not going back and they would get the arena we're not going back, weshemeant we're not going backo trump. tusheturns out she was half rig. they're not going back to anything that was part of the platform we saw. carley: for someone who considered themself a democrat for years before becoming an independent and saying

i want to play it to remind everyone what joe manchin says about the democratic brand.n i want to ask you, then i'll ask you about it. >> the d brand is has been so maligned from the standpoint of it's just it's toxic. >> how would you describe what the democratic brand is right now? in a couple of words. what is the democratic brand? >> you know, it's basically infringement on me making decisions. >> so that's joe manchin's take. let me add something else into this. another element, liz smith, a democratic communications strategist. she spoke to the new york times, frank bruni, about the democratic brand. her take i read this just just yesterday. she her take was the the democratic brand is in the toilet. many of the democrats who succeeded this cycle are best overperformers in house races, for instance, are people who ran against the democratic party brand. trump tore down the blue wall in the industrial midwest, but he also expanded his vote the most in our bluest and most urban areas. do you do you agree with this? do you agree with elements of it? do you reject it

joe manchin saying his good-byes on capitol hill. the senate he bel leaves will different.when i had the opportunity to talk to the senator he always echoed why can't both sides talk to each other, get along. it is what it is. he could flame both sides. each side taking turns based on legislation he support or did not but he was saying that this is maybe a preview of coming attractions that he is worried about. he won't be in washington anymore for now. what do you see in the future? >> well, listen, i don't know. i think he will be active. obviously he was bandies bout eh bout as third -- he should be applaud. too many times politics is about shirts and skins and whether it is a democrat or republican they will never criticize their own party. to his own credit, he did. that is why he kept getting elected in a state that kept getting redder and redder. now didn't run this year. would have been very tough. he made the right decision but i think he is not done with politic. he just wants to see it improve and honestly he has a great point there. >> neil: you know i wondered

senator joe manchin leaves washington after 15 years as one of the senate's most indispensable members. he's not going quietly, telling our manu raju why the democratic party's brand became, quote, toxic and how it can recover from a crushing defeat. i'm phil mattingly. let's go behind the headlines and inside politics we begin with the breaking news. the house ethics committee has released its final report into matt gaetz, the former florida congressman and president elect trump's first pick for attorney general. the committee says it found evidence that gaetz paid a 17 year old girl for sex and violated multiple florida state laws. the panel also found evidence he used cocaine and ecstasy on multiple occasions while serving as a member of congress. cnn's katelyn polantz has been digging through this report now that it's public. caitlin, what are you finding? >> fill that section about matt gaetz and sex with the underage girl that captures a lot of what the committee was looking into here. just some of the facts that they were able to find, not only through documented evidence, but a

by the way, more billionaires moved toward joe manchin last two or three years to support him, he is and this gets to something that i think is at the center of the situation we find yourselves in. this nlrb, i have covered democratic in ministrations including the obama administration, which progressives, prolabor, and democrats were very frustrated with democratic nominees on the national labor relations board. obviously more prolabor than the republican appointees, but often, they were not delivering in ways that labor wanted. this nlrb really has been really quite good and really quite prolabor on a whole bunch of rulings, in terms of finding groups that were able to form unions, and formerly weren't allowed to, legally. and none of it seemed to matter, politically, at all. like, literally at all. like, no one knows, no one cares, it doesn't matter. >> i want to believe, chris, that we can campaign on this better. and if you take a look at our regulators across the board, you mentioned nlrb but it is also true of the federal trade commission, the consumer protection financial bri

senator joe manchin from west virginia.senate at the end of his second term in january although elected as a democrat. he is now an independent. senator, you hear those two speeches. what do you think? >> well, i want to think that i finished the way i started trying to bring the place together. it's what i have always known in my public service life. i couldn't do it by myself. i didn't think one party had all the answers i didn't think the other party was always wrong. >> bret: how do you want to be remembered as you leave this place? >> well, first of all, how you are remembered by the members you served with. they know they could always be. i wouldn't be campaigning against a sit sitting colleague. they weren't afraid to talk to me. somebody they could trust and somebody we did a lot of good working together. >> bret: you have been very good about coming on fox news particularly sprott. one of those times was the build back better bill. i had you on "fox news sunday" i was anchor at the time and this is what you said. >

senator joe manchin and peter welch proposed the constitutional amendment.ere is the language from that proposal. th would have a nonrenewable 18 yea term for supreme court justices. a new term starting about every teedo years. -- two years, and no change to the overall number of justices. this is a constitutional amendment. they want to change the constitution for the terms for supreme court justices. we are asking if you agree with that or not. if you are undecided, you can join the conversation. ceci aaron -- c-span sat down with joe manchin to talk about his career and legacy. this is what he had to say about proposing term limits for supreme court justices in the closing days of the 118th congress. [video] >> i believe in term limits across the board. i believe simply i would pick 18 years. it makes sense. it is a long period of time. it doesn't do anything right now with the supreme court that is sitting now. whenever they retire, whatever, the new person would have 18 years. >> requires a constitutional amendment, doesn't it? >> yeah. it does. the con

joe manchin with his way out the door said that the democratic party is toxic.isten to what he said. >> what the democratic party has turned itself into, national brand, absolutely not. it has been so maligned from the standpoint of it is toxic. >> john: he's on his way out the door. we know he became an independent, but for him to say that -- >> anita: you think back to how the media coverage has been over the last eight years where they have said that donald trump is thus toxic brand, destroying the republican party, and they have no unity. you look at the actual situation. it is as unified as it has been in a very long time. you think about the legacy of barack obama and what he did to the democratic party in terms of dragging it so far to the left that it is completely out of touch with a lot of mainstream america on all sorts of issues. >> john: a lot of people did not take too kindly to him and michelle trying to shame black men into voting for kamala harris. >> anita: the over visualization of every issue is certainly very toxic for the democratic party,

but senator joe manchin never flinches. and he always puts progress and problem solving ahead of partisanship. it has been such an honor to work closely with joe on countless issues and to call him my dear friend. and, yes, i have had some wonderful times on that boat. the details of which will remain forever sealed. i wish him and his wonderful wife, gayle, all of the best in the years to come. and i just have to say, joe, i will miss you so much. thank you, mr. president. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from wyoming. mr. barrasso: mr. president, i join my colleagues in rising to congratulate senator manchin on his highly successful and impactful career representing his home state of west virginia in the united states senate. we know he's served for 14 years and, mr. president, over the last four years he and i served together -- and he served with great distinction as the chairman of the energy and natural resources committee. i had the honor to work side by side with him as the ranking member

joe manchin is giving democrats a reality check this christmas. >> i am not a democrat in the form ofdemocratic party has turned itself in to. the national brand, absolutely not. the brand got so bad, the d-brand has been so maligned, it's toxic. >> the incoming chair of the house progressive caucus. he said if the democratic party was more like chair woman jayapal and a little less like joe manchin, i think we would have won this election. is he right? >> they would have lost. they got to be nuts. >> kennedy, back in 2016, a lot of people assumed at the time that trump's win was a repudiation of hillary clinton, who was a bad candidate. this time around, it feels bigger. feels like a rejection of the democratic party apparatus. >> kennedy: it's a two-fold reaction. one, people wanted to return to the time economically between january 2017 to 2021 before thepandemic. they were better off across the board. so they lived through a trump era. so that may have been a shocking victory. unfortunately we've all had to live through bidenomics. it's not been kind to many people. so these voter

someone they may want to listen to is joe manchin.ara, listen to what manchin had to say. >> i am not a democrat in the form of what the democratic party has turned itself in to. the national brand. absolutely not. the brand got so bad, the d brand has been so maligned from the standpoint of just toxic. >> the incoming chair of the house progressive caucus says if the democratic party was more like chair woman jayapal and less like joe manchin, i think we would have won this election. >> they would have lost -- they got to be nuts. >> kaleigh: so that's the answer, kara? be more like jayapal and the progressives? >> kara: if you want to keep losing, yes. but joe manchin is entirely correct here. what i think -- this is interesting in my mind. the greatest strength of democrats, we're looking at them from the conservative side has been their ability to move as one, to have those uniform talking points that they all seem to dispense from the top down. they all fall in line. i looked at that with envy like oh, man, those guys have it goi

and they won't do it because joe manchin told them to. >> lance, let me give you the last word. d we only have 60s here. to be fair, manchin. i mean, he had some strong thoughts about the gop, too. he said they haven't taken responsibility for the national debt. and he said they lack common sense on the issue of guns politico has a story out this morning where they did a big focus group, and in that focus group, they were biden voters who switched to trump or biden voters who didn't vote in this election consistently. >> time and again, it was because the democratic party has skewed so far left, and all these woke transgender issues and the like, that the american public is just not buying into. so, jaime, i mean, that's fine. they can ignore joe manchin and say he's not the party. they can ignore john fetterman all they want because, i mean, and i get it. they want to let trump derangement syndrome and now this ellen derangement syndrome kind of be their driving factor going forward. then they should do that. but that didn't work out so well for them on november 5th. and i would

>> he's he's going full joe manchin, right this is what joe manchin does, is he tries to find this sort of thing. look, i think as a sort of an academic exercise, i was saying during the break earlier, you can make a case that there's an argument for biden to pardon trump insofar as it would prevent the possibility of creating a precedent for presidents being able to self pardon themselves. it would be a very institutional move. it would make people on the left very annoyed. i'm trying to, i mean, apoplectic yes, i think might be the word you're looking for. i think there might be riots and certainly in the slack channels of the new york times. so like uh, at the same time, i think it's too cute by half. people would just say, you're using this pardoning trump so you can pardon your son, and it would off everybody. >> well, and i mean, kate, you know president biden, considering how he feels about what happened on january 6th and about the democracy, our democracy. can you imagine this as a realistic possibility? >> no, i can't. i can't see a world where he does that. i think he feels s

joe manchin surprised and suddenly shocked there's gambling in the casino. it is just remarkable. ly it's better late than never. but it's a little absurd.li >> do not even believe joeev manchin will learn from hisia uncle how things work in west virginia. he was a powoss. political powe. look at his voting record per joe manchin has been lying tohe the american people. playing the moderate for years. his voting record shows that.e >> of the big problems of the democratic party is juxtaposed with what president trump is doing.triden biden promised to be the transitional leader. to be the builder of this party here comes a president trump doi with this young cabinet do with the democrats promised to do. that's may ultimately be the big difference. >> would argue joe manchin is always been a democrat. the party has continued to lurch even further to the left at thee parade crazy progressives. still ahead on this jampackedof hour of the big weekend show, do you want to do what i love christmas and guy who works in tv, santos my only friend not on was epic. we are taking a behind the s

i mean, is he more middle than even joe manchin. think the number one he has been pretty consistent. he has been pro-israel. he has been as pro-israel as the incoming ambassador to israel, mike huckabee. he has been unwavering for that. he has been unwavering in the fact that pennsylvania is a state that he knew was in trouble back in 2016. he said because trump wasn't going to the areas republicans normally went to. he went to small towns and steel cities and he started talking to them about unions and talking about working class jobs. he thought there's going to be -- we're going to have a problem. he said i saw the crowds. and he saw the assassination attempt. >> carley: i like both things that john fetterman said there. he didn't bring kamala harris down. he said -- he brought donald trump up and said he is a singular political talent. for somebody to get shot in the ear and have the political mindset -- and i just think the natural reaction to get up and say fight, fight, fight, and to continuously have the same message when it

outgoing west virginia senator joe manchin torching his party on the way the door calling it toxic. >form of what the democratic party has turned itself into, the national brand, absolutely not. the brand got so bad the d brand has been so maligned from the standpoint of it just it's toxic. >> brian: here with reaction is fox news contributor "the washington post" columnist marc thiessen. your reaction to senator joe manchin who i guess technically went independent at the end. >> well, is he right. and that's why he is an independent because the party, you know, ronald reagan famously said i didn't leave the democratic party. the democratic party left me. the same is true for mansion. look, there has been a titanic shift in the parties. the republican party has become the party of the working class. and democrats became a party of coalition of minorities and coastal elites. but, in the last election. trump gained with almost every minority group in the country. they lost ground with minorities. so they are fast becoming a party of cultural elites. that's why, you know, that's why the

across the aisle, i would be remiss if i didn't speak on the incredible career of my great friend joe manchin, and maybe the only person that i can say i had a direct role in personally bringing thumb to the senate. -- bringing him to the senate. joe and gail and lease -- lisa and i have been friends since we were governor together. i know when senator byrd had passed and there was a vacancies. i encouraged him, come on up and we'll get things done. because of his ability to stick to his guns, i knew that he would get things done. much like mitt, joe is also a tireless defender of what he believes in. folks like to speculate how he'd vote on what he'd do -- or what he'd do. but i never thought it was all that hard to figure out what joe manchin was going to vote for or how he was going to come down. all you had to do is thereon what he said. and -- listen to what he said. he'd be for it no matter how much grief he took. it was always as simple as that. you know, it was a bit of a common refrain in this town for a while that joe was one of the most powerful people in america. it worked as a jo

you look at joe manchin. look at john fetterman. look at the citizens in chicago.t a mayor adams in new york. guess what's happening? democrats are frustrated with the party because they refuse to deal with issues that americans are concerned with. there's a reason why blacks, hispanics, jews, union members, young people, suburban women voted for trump, because he talks about basic policies that the american people want. they want more money in their pockets. they want law and order and they want good schools. >> and he certainly broadened the base of the republican party especially the young vote. thank you, leo terrell, in california. i appreciate it. thanks for your insight. so now to this. president biden sending shockwaves just two days before christmas announcing he will commute the sentences for nearly all in mates that are on federal death row. fox news alexandria hoff at the white house investigating whose on the list. reporter: it's not a pretty list edward. today though the congressional progressive caucus cheered on the president. they are among those s

joe manchin, on a bit of a postmortem kind of tour, is on his way out the door. he sat down with manu raju and gave a very rough review of the democratic party, as he is now about about to leave office. i want to play. let me play this for you i am not a democrat in a form of what? >> what? the democratic party has turned itself into the national brand. absolutely not. and they know that. here's what i told them. i said, you ought to figure out how you lost somebody like me. the brand got so bad the d brand has been so maligned from the standpoint of it's just it's toxic. and the democratic party, the washington democrats, have tried to mainstream the extreme so it's interesting, right, karen? >> because we often hear people say that it's the republican party. that is not where the american people are. now. joe manchin is saying is the democratic party that is moving away from where the american people are now. >> yeah. so i don't agree with his full assessment. but here's what i do believe. i believe having been at the dnc in 2005, after john kerry lost and we w

they ignore the joe manchin's of the world. they ignore the john fetterman's of the world and continue leaning in on this left woke ideology, because that's where i see them going. i mean, somebody said, well, go. and one of the earlier clips that like, we've been held hostage by the left. look who they nominated. kamala harris was the most liberal senator when she served in the united states senate. that's where the democratic party has been and where they seemingly continue to want to go. joe manchin is out there earlier this week and talking to manu raju, saying, hey, look, we need to moderate on issues, but i'm not seeing that. so look, i hope they continue to ignore people like joe manchin, because that's going to make my life a lot easier. and my republican operative friends a lot easier for the next election. >> jamal, your quick response there yeah, from my democratic friends. >> i just want to say don't listen to lance. he doesn't know what he's talking about. this isn't about left versus right. he's a republican tryin

do you think the party should be more like pramila jayapal or joe manchin? >> i think it's not about left or right. i think it's really about how we move forward and deliver for the hardest working americans. and i would push back a little bit on the analysis that says that, that americans like what donald trump did in his first term. i don't think that's what it was about. it was about inflation going up faster than people's wages. and that's what we need to be focused on. i don't i don't buy the left or right. i buy bringing the message back to every family's kitchen table about the things for the next two years that donald trump is going to be doing. and a lot of those things will be things that hurt the hardest working americans, not things that help them. >> so i want to read something from democratic senator brian schatz and what he told politico last week. he said, i think kamala did a really good job on focusing on middle class concerns, but i remember her saying, quote, i'm going to center the needs of the working class. and i thought to myself, i d

and proud of joe manchin and christian cinema. farm bill you want to help farmers, 30 seconds. >> our farmers are going out of, input cost to that i donjoe biden pushed on farmers is devastating, i get call after call, coach we're having to sell our farms we will lose 100 thousand this year alone, prices have tanked input costs are up, that is what big governmented to control the farms and move them to corporations they might have go the a foot in the door with this we have to fight back and president trump will help them. >> he will. senator tommy tuberville thank you, sir. >> quick break, looking for angels and drones for hugh hewittet. great radio hall of famer, and byron york i am kudlow we'll be right back. introducing new eroxon gel, the first fda-cleared ed treatment available without a prescription. eroxon gel is clinically proven to work within ten minutes, so you and your partner can experience the heights of intimacy. new eroxon ed treatment gel. it's time to grow your business. time to get customers. time to make your

in order. >> your definition of a joe manchin is different from some other. >> well, that's that's my that's my definition, because joe manchin killed democratic legislation by, you know, being the guy on the other side. >> remember, there's no house of representatives until we have a speaker. and when that vote goes on, the first thing we looked at in john boehner's reelection campaign for speaker in 2013 were who were the no shows. and we got to bachmann, no bachmann, we got to blackburn, no blackburn. so you're going to have members who are going to be back in their offices watching and waiting to see, and then they'll very courageously make their decision. >> so here are the words of congressman jason crow, a democrat. we're not going to take an all or nothing mentality, because we know that when people take an all or nothing mentality, americans end up with nothing. that's just not acceptable to us. um, i'll tell you, he's probably right about that. >> right? and it will not be acceptable to republicans broadly if the republican party that they sent to washington spends all of it

senator susan collins, lisa murkowski, jalen sha -- gjeanne shaheen an bill cassidy, mark warner, and joe manchin, we painstakingly crafted a historic infrastructure law, delivering americas better broad bands, new roads and bridges, cleaner air and water, and more job opportunities. later, working with senators mitt romney, tammy baldwin, giving all americans peace of mind protecting marriages and religious freedoms and teaming up with todd young, we saved the chips and science law, spearheaded by maria cantwell and roger wicker, and now america and arizona can lead the way in semiconductor manufacturing and our country is safer and more secure. bringing senators john cornyn, chris murphy, and tom tillis together to tackle the int intractable issue of gun violence, we not only saved lives, we improved our country's mental health care. as everyone involved in each of those deals know, it wasn't easy. there were hard conversations, many tough decisions, many tradeoffs, back and forth that pushed us towards that solution and that progress. while those are the highlights, we also witnessed what happ

much longer than nancy pelosi joe manchin of fake being a centrist left. what are they left with? is aoc, hakeem jeffries, the squad members, who really are the center, the heart of their party? are they going to change? no. bernie sanders walk up the stage he did his job, got his nose under the tent and now as he said his policies his thoughts are now mainstream in the democrat party. hilary clinton recognized a large part of her basement she ran against trump was socialist. the democrats are stuck there for some time. it also means a significant resistance they are going to continue not just against trump really against the country. they are complaints about billionaires. they have their own billionaire and so many others. there were more billionaires supporting kamala harris and supporting trump. >> i had a list of 88 prime wall street players that were supporting harrison. so they are not going anywhere. part of that money griffiths acquired the power to help to build the next big. >> you said it was the old school for you are right we had joe manchin and we were going to run

we had joe manchin and we were going to run the sound bite but we won't. i do want to run the sound bite though of a younger democrat whose thinking of actually moving to the republican side, if democrats don't get off this progressive line. run that steven smith sound bite if you have it there. >> i voted democrat and i've gotta tell you something right now. i don't like the fact that i did. nobody's above the law but then you go out and pardon your son and i'm no longer interested in, nor do i believe any of us should be interested in listening to a bunch of fear mongering to tell us who we shouldn't vote for. why don't you come up with a plan that tells us why we should vote for you and if donald trump, j.d. vance or the host of other republican candidates coming down the pike, that's the kind of message they are going to put forth, i'm down for it. i'm open-minded. david: and rich, then you have a rookie mike john fetterman who just said i'm not rooting against donald trump. so it's not all of the just the old timers that want to change the progressive

and my winter is outgoing senator joe manchin of west virginia.nt who puts his country first, his party second and himself third period i think he's gone out with great class and dignity and i salute him for that. i wish we had more of him. maybe it will cause me too rethink my position on cloning. shannon: are running yourself? >> no, no. [laughter] >> my runner up on the winner was the dakotas. you choke john thune there. they have had a real run at it in terms you look at john thune's new position as well as the fact that chrissy known and doug b bergen getting positionsi went to florida partially in honor of you. the florida love here. but really you look at the people he has been taken you got susie wiles is way off teresa stafford marco rubio the florida center, a secretary state. and can be national security adviser michael wallace is also from florida. you also have brian at mass. two is now going to be the chair of the house foreign affairs committee. a lot of florida politicians under donald trump. i'm pam bondd the incoming trump admini

i want to play some of what joe manchin said. listen to this. >> do you know of any fathers that wouldn't have done the same? that's all. and then basically i went one step further. i thought it would have been a little better move if he'd have pardoned trump too. you follow me? bygones be bygones and put the past behind him. >> you follow him. should president biden pardon president-elect trump? >> no. and i don't think that he should have done either. i'm sorry. i'm sympathetic to hunter biden and his problems and their family concerns, but look, i think this notion that i've noticed among democrats since the election, which is, donald trump won that means that the rules are out the window. our arguments for the rule of law and norms didn't work because he won this narrow election less than 1% and we can just not care about that anymore and we need to get ours. i just don't get it. i don't think that makes sense. i think that that argument would be defensible if president biden acting to protect through pardons instead of the s

is john fetterman trying to be the new joe manchin? we caught him on camera talking about meeting with pete hegseth, first democrat to meet with donald trump's defense secretary pick. >> so, from people who were apprised of that meeting, it went well. and fetterman, i would say, is not definitely in the no category on hegseth based on my reporting. that's number one. number two, a little more difficult to be joe manchin when the republicans have a 53-seat majority. but yeah, i do think he's going to line up with republicans on some policy perspectives. someone who serves with him in congress put it really well to me, when fetterman likes to be on the other side of where the crowd is, when everyone is centrist and on the right, he's on the left. when everyone is on the left, he goes to the right. it does hold up based on what we have seen of fetterman over the last year and a half or so. listen, i think he has said he's going to 100% support elise stefanik. i assume he's going to support marco rubio. sounds like he might be able to supp
