what did joe manchin do? he voted for a weakening amendment to the dea enforcement policies and even said, quote people can look at, it would make the opioid epidemic worse. my actions are fighting to protect people from this opioid epidemic. joe manchin is aligned with hillary clinton, barack obama didn't do much on the opioid epidemic either. i think there's a big difference on this issue. manchin: only one person made money from this, and that is patrick morrisey. he made hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to the patrick morrisey lobbying firm. he continues to reap benefits from that, sending bills, millions of pills, the types of deals he made, record-breaking, we have $1.8 billion for tobacco settlement. he thinks $20 million. he thinks basically he wants to make a deal, the state of west virginia -- the state pays $77 million a year for incarceration, $291 million a year to take care of -- $368 million and he wants to settle for $20 million. >> moderator: my next question is about that but

manchin: thank you. >> senator manchin, we had a horrible tragedy last week and in pittsburgh.he week before, a man sent pipe monster leading democrats, which is prompted debate about the political rhetoric in this country. this campaign has been acrimonious. each of you have called each other a liar at times. rabbi jeffrey meyers at the memorial service in pittsburgh last week, called on politicians to lead the way to avoid hateful rhetoric. tone ofeve the overall the public debate in this country continues to violence, and is so, would you be willing to tone it down in the final days of the campaign and calling your supporters to be more respectful? my manchin: first of all, prayers and condolences to all the families who lost loved ones and the people that were targeted in the bombing mailing. it is awful. who are we as a people, who are we as west virginians and who are we as americans? example.ot set a good the tony's to be tamped down, from the leader of our free country, the leader of the free world, president trump, on down to each one of us is elected officials. we can

senator manchin supports them. moderator: currently the federal government is prohibited by law from negotiating drug rises to bring down the cost of g tohundreds of dollars of drugs write the medicare monetization act of 2003. when you run for attorney general, youraw included that prohibition and thus cost medicare billions of dollars. what was your rationale for that and why shouldn't the government be able to negotiate those drug prices? mr. morrisey: i want to make sure that west virginians have the lowest prices possible. the best way to do that is to have competition. not allow the government to decide which drugs are under the formulary and which ones are not. in that law and everything i do, i will make sure there is rigorous competition. we will move to generics quicker and that is what that law did. west virginians benefited from that law. i'm going to note. it is in dramatic contrast to what senator manchin has done because when he allied with that company, taking hundreds of thousands of their cash, he

speaking of joe manchin, he said he would have voted against a joe manchin. he was not going to cast a vote to losing weight. >> i think that is obvious. -- to lose anyway. [cross talking] >> we could have richer, a democrat -- >> i understand that. >> it is philosophy. >> i am responding. >> joe manchin had a primary challenge within the democratic party. the challenger was from the left and she lost. joe manchin -- >> she was a great candidate. i do not think there's anybody in the room who wouldn't say -- who would say -- it is quite possible that in terms of sheer ideology on this panel and left a separate. it is important. from a messaging. >> i agree. >> that said, there would be -- no [indiscernible] in this generation. it does not mean 65% is not a better than 85% or 90% in terms of voting. it is quite possible that you feel it is correct. we can agree on that. the challenge from the left field -- failed. >> can i make a statement? probably, one am of the more moderate people on this panel. >> you walk out in the hallway you are considered to the left

bakari: joe manchin is going to do the politics necessary to have a joe manchin. between 50 and 49 is exponential when you are talking about the policies that all of us appear are advocating for. the difference between 50 united states senators and 49 united states senators is huge. whatever politics that joe manchin has to do locally to come back, we need him right there because we need that d from west virginia. know how i ended up being the champion for joe manchin. [laughter] towardswanted to move more socialistic policies. manchins on the joe instead of the check schumers? and i don't mean just as a leader. you have a reliably safe blue state. there are two things to separate here with chuck schumer. one is the arguments that he does not do politics very well based on what we have seen in the past 30 republican judges who just skated through an chuck grassley pulled a fast one on him. forus the question of is he some reason running in a blues state significantly to the left l the center of the democratic party to the left? there are problems in organizing and

my only point is that whatever politics moakley joe manchin has to do to come back, we need joe manchin right there because we need that. >> let's move forward. >> and that is how i ended up championing for joe manchin. [talking over each other] >> if you want to move towards more socialistic policies, why focus on joe manchin as opposed to say chuck schumer? added him in just as a leader but you have a reliably safe instate. sure that the, there's to think to separate here with chuck schumer. one is the argument, he doesn't do politics very well be some will be seen in terms of the past 30 republican judges who just skated through, chuck grassley pulled a fast one on him, versus the question, like easy for someone who is running in the state, a blue state, sufficiently to the left to pull that over to the wind or the center of the democratic party to the left? marcos, what is your take? >> reliably blue state. davis andrew cuomo again. the problems in organizing and building that support for those primary challengers, and of the primaries. that's were fight these battles. once joe manc

we have two democratic senators, manchin and menendez have won reelection. you will remember, senator manchin was the first democrat to vote in favor of -- only democrat to vote in favor of brett kavanaugh during the hearing. he has won reelection. plus, we have learned marsha blackburn has won the senate seat in tennessee, plus, we are also learning there was a special election in mississippi, that nobody, none of those four candidates were able to garner enough votes. so, that now will go to a runoff election a little bit later on this month. now, democrats have been trying to take hold of the house, while republicans are hoping to hold onto the senate. this is the first major election in the united states since president trump took office. >> we built a strategy that looks at the largest battlefield that we've seen in a decade, built around our candidates. >> the choice is clear. the choice between prosperity and higher taxes. i think americans will choose prosperity. >> it's a race to the finish for democrats and republicans with everything on the line w
