but who is joe manchin? and more importantly, why is joe manchin?ind out in our brand-new segment "please allow me to introduce yourself." ♪♪♪ >> trevor: joe manchin first rose to prominence as the governor of west virginia. before getting elected to the senate in 2010. and while all senators talk about reaching across the aisle, manchin has made it a personal mission. >> joe manchin believes in working across the aisle and has relationships. >> he wants to focus on trying to get, you know, democrats and republicans to work in the same room. he has been part of bipartisan groups that have been trying to come up with legislation that can get support in the senate from both parties. >> republican senator susan collins of maine and democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia, they are the newly announced honorary co-chairs of no labels, a group advocating bipartisan solutions in washington. >> everything no labels does is in a bipartisan way. it's not from one side ideologically or another. we're in the radical middle. >> trevor: that's right! joe

manchin: can i add onto that? lisa: absolutely. sen. manchin: everybody is talking about e.v. do you know we don't produce any of the rare earth minerals or very little of any rare earth minerals that it takes to make a battery? we depend on other sources in the world, and basically the people are being enslaved in parts of the world in order to get the resources that we seem to be, out of sight out of mind and say, we have an electric vehicle. it is a shame we are going down this path, but we have made no provisions at all to manufacture and basically have the resources that it takes to manufacture that battery. and also as far as recycling that battery. things of that sort that we are not thinking into. the other thing is for as, what we call baseload fuels, there is only two fuels right now that you can count on to basically provide the energy that you use every day. that is going to be nuclear and coal. that runs 24-7, doesn't matter whether it is raining or shining, doesn't make any difference. natural gas has replaced coal but it is basically uninterrupted source. you ca

you're fluent in manchin. so if you can translate for me. does this basically mean if we'll turn to the end of the book here that manchin is saying, okay, negotiate for a month, two months, whatever, until the end of may which seems to be in vogue here as an end point. if no republicans come along, then i will let this go through on a party line vote. is that what he's saying here? and the other big question we keep asking is joe manchin the most powerful man in the world right now? >> the answer to that question is, yes. he is incredibly powerful. and, look, he knows it. and any democrat, if they raise their hand and decided to play this role, could be the most powerful person in the world. he just decided that this is his point of view, mostly because he voted against rule changes under democrats. he voted against rule changes under republicans because he fundamentally believes that compromise is the way to go and he believes that it is doable. and one of the things i wanted to add to that is an argument tha

welcome senator manchin and mister roberts. let me turn the screen over to senator manchin for remarks. >> thank you for allowing us to be here today and my good friend cecil roberts for inviting me to be here also with you all today. america's whole miners are the backbone arof our great nation for generations, our minors mind the goal and forced the industries that we know and ensures our country the strongest in the world. they sacrificed their health our nation relied on andstill relies on to this day .too many coal mining families have mourned the loss of a loved oneincluding myself . as the chairman of the senate energy and natural resources committee ensuring our coal miners are left behind as american transitions to a cleaner energy future is one of my top priorities. while the industry has been on a steady downturn in job opportunities maintaining those good paying jobs will reduce in missions. it is both possible and ssit's our responsibility. we can do that by signing the carbon capture utilization research developme

jeff quinn talks about his book, manchin about the life of cult leader charles manchin. mr. gwen reports on how manchin influenced and motivated the members of the cult he called the manchin family who murdered seven people in august, 1969. this was recorded at book passage bookstore important maduro california in 2013. >> takes a lot. when i write nonfiction, i basically start with a single premise. that events and never happen in a vacuum. anything is a result of many past actions were different people grow up, what they thought, what they mix together, who they met. there's no one simple answer to anything. so when i do read these books, i try to pick hear an american history. when i wrote about bonnie and clyde, i was really writing about the depression and growing up poor in the dust bowl. when i wrote about the gunfight at the ok corral, which was not actually again fight, and it was an ideal carroll. but the accidental shooting on fema to just didn't have that same sort of ring to it when the first people were going to write this history. i wanted to write about the s

how far is joe manchin willing to go here? is he willing, do you think, to stand in the way, to be the one who says no to the white house infrastructure plan? >> well, he's acting as if he is. it really raises the question whether the white house went through the proper process of the care and feeding of joe manchin. he says he's not doing this because he has a big ego. he says he's doing this because as you just reported he wanted to return to regular order. at the same time, these are people you're talking about, politicians. in the end, what does joe manchin concretely want? right now it doesn't look like he wants a $2 trillion infrastructure bill or live commentating for folks who have covered washington or politics for a long time, it seems liked a oddity. >> it does seem like an oddity. toluse, what are the ruchl blbl-- rumblingings in terms of it? this is not a secret in terms of how he feels. >> this senator has been asked more than any other senator what he feels about the filibuster, whether he would be willing to ma

we will turn it over susan -- two senator manchin. --to senator manchin. senator manchin: this has allowed us to talk to people on the front lines. being a former governor, i know that whatever happens in washington we have to implemented or live with it or try to make adjustments to make it fit in our scheme of things we need. we can prevent that from happening if we start coordinating what we are doing. in the senate, we have a working group, 10 republicans, and 10 democrats. we call it the g20 group. and we have the problem solvers coming over and working with us. we are working in a bipartisan and bicameral way to have the executive branch of governors involved completes the triangle and helped us have good input. so we do not have redundancies or waste. that is what we are trying to achieve. i think that today was a tremendous start for that. it josh? -- josh? >> this past winter and go into the new year on the covid package is the model in how you govern not just on this issue but on every issue. working together across the aisle and across chambers

what do you make of those comments from senator manchin, gloria? >> in a way he's not changing his mind. i'm against changing the filibuster. i'm not going to kill it. that's it. what this means is that joe biden, first of all, has to get the rest of his democrats in line if he wants to get anything done. and he has to look for ten republicans on a lot of things. so the larger things he might want to do, the dream act, for example, voting rights, of course, is another example you were just talking about. minimum wage. a large infrastructure package. all of these things really hang in the balance. and the problem, wolf, in the congress right now is that the political rewards come from fighting and not from finding common ground, because if you fight and you're a republican, you're not going to get primaried on the right if you fight with democrats. and right now republicans don't agree on much other than they ought to oppose everything joe biden proposes. so maybe manchin can find what he's looking for, but it's going to be very, very difficult. we

joe manczt manchin, his state i.oal industry, no upward mobility beyond that. i find it hard to believe when he says he's for a bill that would change that and make they're life better. you can pass it if you're for it. there are enough democrademocra. they have to show me they believe in the bills. 65% of are all voters strongly or somewhat support the infrastructure plan helping west virginia, help arizona. 42% of republicans support it. gallup poll shows a low only 40% identified republican leaning. nine-point difference. now the republican party is extremely unpopular, but these senators are saying they only care about protecting republican senators. not republican voters. i don't know how you get through to people like that. >> i do think on the american jobs plan that joe manchin is just trying to, like, make us go through a routine. he wants to get caught trying. he complained about the reconciliation process in that op-ed, did not draw the same line in the sand on reconciliation as he did on the filibuster, f

steve: joe manchin is anchored there.osh: and it is for him, as he says very openly sometimes, having the left wing of his party coming after him is good for him in west virginia. even though some of them don't realize it, no one is ever going to have a primary against him. he is the one who paradoxically it is good for whom may be a mark warner, it is not great for them. steve: let me get a quick snapshot on the role and meaning of senator joe manchin. liz: i think that generally, people tend to sort of step into this role if there is a void. a couple of years ago, we certainly would not have thought that senator mitt romney potentially being like the swing vote on anything in the senate. he would have been considered a mainstream conservative. but fast forward, and here we are. when you have a void, people do tend to step into it and fill it. joe manchin is a fascinating political character and i agree with a lot of what josh said. when you look at everything that surrounds minimum wage, there was this discussion about

what is that changing in terms of the message from joe manchin, if anything? >> there has clearly been, erica, accelerating momentum behind the idea, let's basically use reconciliation for everything. >> wink. >> everything we can conceivably call a budget adjacent, let's call it a reconciliation bill and ram it from there, whether it's d.c. statehood or certain immigration provisions, measures in the past that would not have been seen as natural fits for the budget process, and i think what manchin is indicating that's not an approach he's enthusiastic about taking right now. one of the big questions and i don't necessarily expect him to answer in a blunt way and might not be answerable right now, is it a red line for him that he doesn't want to use reconciliation on the broad democratic ada, or is this mostly an emphatic statement that he wants to try other avenues and exhaust those avenues first, that if he were to find himself in a couple of months in a position where it's clear they're not interested in doing infrastructure legislation and he needs to pur

'cause we are. >> joe manchin is described in virginia and the l.a.ate for his obstruction to president biden's agenda. virginia knows a bit more then virginia on the last phone media about the politics of west virginia, and the west virginia mother looks a lot more. joe manchin is from farmington, a town of 545 people which is not so small by west virginia standards. virginia writes, if you live in hollows and small towns tucked into nearly impassable mountains, it's still an ordeal just to get electricity and newspapers, and forget about cable, tv, wi-fi and the memes that come with those things. rural west virginians are less beholden to, and also left served by, utilities, a dominant culture and governments. this stranded in this looks dangerous to many. two others, including plenty in my family, it looks like freedom. as she watches senator joe manchin navigate his powerful position in a 50/50 senate, virginia have vernon rights, manchin is never going to look like a california democrat. but he doesn't look like a california republican either. it

in some ways that makes manchin the perfect representative. also can talk to those in red states. so he often holds contradictory views. like a lot of people in appalachia, he's pro labor and in many ways he's anti-green energy or he's not very progressive on energy. but he's also -- his colleagues in west virginia say this is a guy almost entirely without idealogy, and we've seen sort of cartoonish implications of idealogy in the past four years, and it's great to see someone who is a short-term tactician. to give you an example, he's the only person in the senate who has gotten both a d and an a from the ara, and who has backed funding for planned parenthood and has refused funding for planned parenthood. some of the most, you know, hot button issues of our time, he will change in subtle ways just so that you almost can't read him. it seems he wants to stay inscrutable. >> nancy, is it easy for voters in west virginia to admit they voted for a democrat in senate? >> my father ran a utility in west virginia. it was called the wohl power compa

lauren fox spoke with senator manchin.e is her exclusive interview. >> reporter: the other joe who holds the power in washington. clear and unequivocal tonight. >> i'm not killing the filibuster. >> reporter: the reason senator manchin tells cnn the insurrection at the capitol. >> january 6 changed me, i was very clear with everybody. i never thought in my life, i never read in history books s s e our form of government had been attacked at our seat of government which is washington, d.c., at our capitol by our own people. now, the british did it, but not americans. so something told me, wait a minute, pause, hit the pause button, something is wrong. you can't have this many split to where they want to go to war with each other. >> reporter: insisting the only way to move past the animosity is by working together. >> i think we can find a pathway forward. i really do. i will be sitting down with both sides and understanding where everybody is coming from. we should have an open, fair and secure election. if we have to put

obviously that is not what joe manchin wants, but that's the other extreme here.ing raising the corporate rate from 21 where republicans had it in 2017 to 28 where it was previously. i have to guess that there is a middle ground here. the white house firmly believes and i've had conversations with them about this that taxing corporations, increasing taxes on corporations is generally a popular proposition among democrats. i agree. i think what manchin is saying 21 to 28 is too much of a jump. maybe 25 is a better option. i think he even said that directly in the clip. so i think what he's saying there needs to be a middle ground. just like you said at the top, kasie this process empowers joe manchin to the extent he wasn't empowered before which i don't think anyone would say he is a shrinking violet but he is empowered even more now. >> nope. it's pretty remarkable. i'm sure he is quite enjoying his role. thank you so much, as always, my friend, for being up with us. we appreciate it. >>> still ahead here, amid talk of retirement there is a new potential for a to

has been a guest before on the bottom line but i sometimes wonder if joe manchin were not there would joe biden need to create him because you know he does create a different kind of dynamic in the party a lot of democrats are very frustrated love to get both of your you know snapshots you know on the role in presence and meaning of joe manchin in these times. well i would you know i would it's funny i would say it's possible that joe biden would need to invent him because he does allow him to sort of you know create some kind of leverage back and forth right with these different wings of the party that so far he's done a pretty good job you know kind of holding together with him the real people who would need to invent him are probably the 7 or 8 democrats who in a lot of these cases have similar qualms on issues of substance and in some cases on these kind of you know metta issues of you know filibuster bipartisanship all you know collegiality all this kind of story because it's clear i mean you have kristen cinema who to my mind at least is often just up there for the optics right

biden cannot pass anything without senator joe manchin's vote and manchin told fox that his vote willleast try to win over republicans. >> the more things that we do without trying to make this process work and allow the minority to be involved, the further apart we become as a party. >> do they want to be involved? >> i think so. why are you here if you don't want to be involved? every time i talk to my friends, they want to be involved. you might have a different idea, but they want to be involved. >> so, amy, i want to play a little bit of what senator rob portman told our colleague jeff zeleny this past week about where the compromise could possibly be on infrastructure. >> only about 20% of it is infrastructure. and that is using a generous definition of infrastructure. but that would be 5 or 600 of his bill is really infrastructure. if it's focused on infrastructure, i think there will be a lot of bipartisan buy-in. >> amy, if, you know -- i think some people would say reasonable, moderate republican rob portman says, i'm their 20% of the way, how does joe biden get to a real co

and we have joe manchin baddicly threatening the entire thing. it seems like president biden is ready to go it with only the democrats but i'm not sure about all 50 democrats in the senate. >> yes. you are right. it will be very hard to find 10 republican votes. republicans are saying the plan is too big. they argue a lot of the stuff isn't traditional infrastructure. on the democratic side, as you mentioned, senator did exert some last minute concessions in a deal he wanted over unemployment benefits which through the whole proceedings into doubt. infrastructure will be a big priority for west virginia but biden will have to compromise with the other important joe, the senator, and not get everything he wants. >> that's true. raising the questions even about the reconciliation process moving the goal post past the filibuster stuff we sort of already knew. grace, you've also been reporting on the story that is wild. the fundraising tactics by the trump campaign that left donors feeling swindled, a bunch of fraud claims and we are learning it may

manchin: let me make sure you know who was here from the senate. we had senator cornyn from texas, senator collins from maine, senator cassidy from louisiana, senator rosen from nevada, senator romney from utah and senator young from indiana. the thing that this allowed us to do is talk to people on the front lines. ing a former governor, i know whatever happened in washington, we have two implement it, lived with it or try to make adjustments. we can prevent that from happening if we start coordinating what we are doing. in the senate, we have a working group. we have 10 republicans and 10 democrats. we call it the g20 group and we meet consistently and we have the problem solvers with josh and brian coming over and working with us. we are working in a bipartisan, bicameral way. to have the executive branch of the governors involved truly complete set triangle and helps us have good input so we don't have redundancies or waste. that is what we are trying to achieve and set a pass forward. i think today was the tremendous start for that. >> i think

let's start with senator manchin who was on your program just minutes ago.mind him because he keeps talking about how he represents the people of his state. you know what? no, he doesn't. he ran to be a senator. his decisions have national implications, and people die because of the things he does or doesn't do. my daughter died because of gun violence that was preventable things he won't vote for. people will die because of things senator manchin said this mor morning, okay? let's remind people like senator manchin, no, you got elected in your state. you represent the nation. and you need to make national choices. i plan to remind him. now, after listening to him this morning, i want to get on a plane and fly to washington, d.c., and sit with him in person, but i can't do that. they're closed down. so senator manchin, let's find a coffee shop somewhere to meet. let's meet. let's get together. let's talk about the reality of gun violence. let's talk about why you need to be part of moving this senate forward. the time to start saving lives is now. >> to your

and joe manchin is 1 of the 50 democratic votes and so, you know, if joe manchin hypothetically decidedcross the aisle, literally, and join the other party mitch mcconnell would be back in charge of the senate. that is just a reality that democrats have to live with. you know, he is the only democrat that can get elected in the senate. joe manchin is a definitive no on killing the filibuster. the filibuster stays. >> coming up, the new aspirations emerging from donald trump's shadow when the "the 11th hour" continues. nald trump's shadow when the "the 11th hour" continues >> earlier today former president trump officially endorsed mo brooks for next year's senate race there saying in part mo brooks is pro-life, loves our military and vets, will protect the second amendment, combat the biden open border agenda and is fighting for voter integrity like few others. brooks is one of trump's strongest supporters in congress. here is what we heard on january 6th. >> we are not going to let them continue to corrupt our elections. steal from us our god given right to control our nation's destiny

all eyes on senator joe manchin. instead of fixating on eliminating the filibuster or shortcutting the process through budget reconciliation, it is time we do our jobs, manchin wrote. white house officials for now taking manchin's position in stride and making clear they're only in the nascent stages of what they plan to be extensive outreach. >> president biden wants to have an open dialogue. he wants to hear concerns. he wants to hear ideas. he knows this process is going to be a little bit longer. >> reporter: as biden himself as made clear, his plan is but the first step. >> debate is welcome, compromise is inevitable, changes are certain. >> reporter: and wolf, the president made clear he expects to take more executive actions related to guns. he's instructed the justice department to come up with concrete actions he can take, but the reality white house officials acknowledge is that for tangible steps related to gun violence, they need legislation and right now there is no clear path forward in the u.s. senate

in order to get anything through i need joe manchin.in that sense it might work for him but in a larger sense it's a real problem. >> listen, charlie, for the country -- people know this. voting rights, it's important for our democracy. does joe manchin really want to go down as the guy who held up the voting rights act, who restricted voting for people in this country, poor people, people of color? does he want to go down as that guy? >> well, i think, don, i think it's a bit unfair to put this all on joe manchin. i happy to agree with him on the filibuster. i witnessed when republicans were in control, listening to most extreme voices in the republican conference and the house at the time demanding mitch mcconnell eliminate the filibuster. this was always coming from the extreme voices because they wanted to jam very harsh partisan legislation that would not be sustainable or durable. and i think the democrats know in their guts this is not a good thing. the problem isn't the rules. the problem is the members who don't have the capaci

the reason, senator manchin tells cnn the insurrection at the capitol. >> january 6th changed me.ith everybody. i never thought in my life, i never read in history books to where our form of government had been attacked at our seat of government, which is washington, d.c., at our capitol by our own people. now, the british did it, but not americans, so something told me, wait a minute, pause, something's wrong. you can't have this many people split to where they want to go to war with each other. >> reporter: insisting the way to move past the animosity is by working together. >> i'm going to be sitting down with both sides and understanding where everybody's coming from. we should have an open, fair, and security election. if we have to put guardrails on, we'll put guardrails on so people can't take advantage of people. i believe there are republicans that feel exactly like i feel. >> reporter: how does that affect his relationship with the white house? >> they've been very, very kind and talking. we do talk. >> reporter: how often? >> as often as i would like, as often as they w

manchin says that it is too high. he said something around 25% is more fair. he said that in a local radio interview. listen, at the end of the day democrats need senator joe manchin the moderate from west virginia to pass anything. he knows that and democrats know that as evident as when he held up those covid relief bill on the floor last month for hours and hours on end because he felt blind-sided about a change that was made. so yesterday in that local radio interview he issued a warning to democrats trying not for that to happen again. >> final vote to get on it is not going anywhere. so we're going to have some leverage here and it's more than just me, there's six or seven other democrats that feel very strongly about this. we have to be competitive and we are not going to throw caution to the wind. >> reporter: now, manchin, like every democrat in the senate right now, has a lot of leverage because of that 50/50 split with vice president harris coming in as a tiebreaker giving democrats the majority. any senator -- any democratic senator in that body ca

i know senator manchin, he has been a great champion for working people. lot of republicans now doing the happy dance saying joe manchin just made mitch mcconnell president because now nothing can get done unless mitch mcconnell wants to cough up ten votes. that's not what manchin wants. i think he is trying to bring people together. on the questions of guns and voting and infrastructure, i think it's very unlikely that his transition team is going to pay off. >> a pushback that will be proof of your so much more popular than i am. i think mansion has been put in a bad spot by the democrats because -- shhears's why. there is no attempt to work with republicans because you know mitch mcconnell keeps baiting and switching. you don't have schumer meeting with mcconnell. you don't have democrats wanting to put pills in the senate in committee. they want to go to reconciliation and play power politics. i am not criticizing the move. i believe the culture of compromise is pass and the filibuster was born from an unholy place to begin with. but joe manchin, who b

>> first of all, talk to joe manchin. second of all, there is a lot of work being done in order to bring the democratic caucus together. once again, we passed the most significant piece of emergency legislation, which among other things will cut childhood poverty in half. i expect that the second reconciliation bill will be very profound in creating millions of good-paying jobs and, by the way, i'm going to do everything that i can, along with others, in making sure that we do pass that $15 an hour minimum wage. >> understood. but you support internal pressure, but you support internal pressure on joe manchin, not publicly going to west virginia and calling him out as you said you would do in your election campaign? >> i have no problem going to west virginia. and i think we need a grassroots movement that makes it clear to joe manchin and everybody else in the united states senate, including republicans, that the progressive agenda is what the american people want. they want to raise that minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour

you are not going to have joe manchin, i don't think.e not -- if you do it on shows like this and democrats and republicans are talking, myia, and -- but you don't really see the process play out, for real, i think that democrats are going to have a problem. mia love, i appreciate you on the show. it's good to have you. paul begala. >> thank you, chris. >> always a pleasure. both of you, thank you. especially, at this time. be well. >>> all right. less than four months ago, the capitol was under attack. police officers guarding democracy had to fight for their lives. people, who say they care about police, but want to sleep on the insurrection and play it down. i don't know how they get to say that. so, what was it like for a capitol police officer, who survived the 6th of january? to be a guardian of democracy, once again, on this night, at the scene of the crime. he tells us, next. when i'm on my hands and knees and i'm digging through the dirt. i feel something in me, like a fire, that's just growing. i feel kinder, when nature is so

saying, joe manchin just made mitch mcconnell president.s mitch mcconnell wants to cough up ten votes. but on the questions of guns and voting and infrastructure. i think it's very unlikely that his strategy's going to pay off. >> a pushback that will be proof of why you're so much more popular than i am. i think that manchin has been put in a bad spot by the democrats because here -- here -- here is why. there is no attempt to work with republicans, because you know that mitch mcconnell keeps bating and switching. you don't have schumer meeting with mcconnell. you don't have democrats wanting to even put bills in the senate, into committee. they want to go right to reconciliation and play power politics. but in doing that -- i'm not criticizing the move because i believe the compromise has passed and the filibuster was born from an unholy place, to begin with. but joe manchin, who believes in working across the aisle, and has relationships, democrats aren't giving him anything to work with. they are not trying to work with republicans. sho

manchin does what he does yesterday in that op-ed.wo reaffirmed that position just two days after chuck schumer found out, we can use reconciliation more often. what is schumer taking away from the op-ed? >> reporter: i don't think the schumer world is too concerned about it right now. i think what you saw in regards to the filibuster was the conclusion of a process manchin has been going through, really, since his interview on "meet the press" with you, chuck, where he seemed to open the door to going to a talking filibuster or some other bigger filibuster reform. he's been walking that back very slowly over the last few weeks. he sort of finished the process with that op-ed last night. his points of reconciliation in the op-ed are important. i don't think they're particularly concerned that manchin will walk away from the now, but when i saw that op-ed, i was thinking of john mccain on his effort to kill obamacare when he said, regular order, regular order, we have to go back to regular order. joe manchin is not there yet, but if de

you mentioned joe manchin. how much of a problem for you and your agenda are swing senators like joe manchin, like kirsten sinema? he endorsed lisa murkowski and sinema posted a picture of herself wearing a ring that said "f off." i don't know who that was aimed toward, whether it was you or the media. does that bring about the kind of behavior you support or condemn? >> what brings about unity, i try to show every one of my members respect when i agree or disagree with them. but i'm not shy at telling them why i disagree with them when i do and trying to make the arguments about why it's important to come together on the kind of agenda you and i have been talking about. and that method has worked thus far. and hopefully, it will continue to work. we need every member. if any one, as you pointed out, our majority is 50. it's fragile. it's fragile if, god forbid, someone would become incapacitated or worse. it's also fragile if anybody defects and says they won't go along. we have to work it. i work it in a very

chuck schumer, the majority leader can't pass anything that biden sends over without joe manchin evenhe reconciliation. he made it very clear what he thinks needs to happen is democrats and republicans need to sit down and iron some of these issues out. we should note, that really takes time. when you have someone like the house speaker saying she's hoping to pass infrastructure through her chamber by the july 4th recess, that doesn't leave you a ton of time to really have those negotiations with your republican colleagues. manchin making it clear tonight that he does have some areas where he needs to work with his democratic colleagues as well. raphael warnock has been arguing that they need to get rid of the filibuster in order to pass the voting rights bill that already passed in the house of representatives, at least just do a simple carve out. manchin making it clear he didn't support that but when he gets back to washington he wants to get into a room with warnock and his other colleagues, senator assof to have a discussion and it's important to remind them manchin needs 10 repu

after mass shootings in georgia, colorado, and texas, perhaps manchin could start by reviving the manchinmaking them worse. the minimum wage must be raised. voting rights absolutely must be protected. our infrastructure must be improved and expanded. and in a perfect world, congress could get all of these things done. but we don't live in a perfect world. that's why i'm willing to give manchin some time to find bipartisanship, but not forever. if, despite his efforts, republicans remain recalcitrant or put forward proposals they know will be rejected by the president, then manchin must leave them be, especially if he wants democrats to remain in the majority. surely manchin wouldn't want to be blamed for his party losing it because he spent more time looking for a pony that doesn't exist than dealing with the reality of the pile of work right in front of him. i'm jonathan capehart and this has been "the sunday show." hi, i'm pat and i'm 75 years old. we live in the mountains so i like to walk. i'm really busy in my life; i'm always doing something. i'm not a person that's going to sit too

many are asking, is senator joe manchin the savior of the republic. he might be the only thing to start this bait and switch presidency. all that and more on "making money". ♪. charles: so the market mostly continues to meander while the bias is of course returned to the upside. it is clear something is bothering, gnawing at investors. bond yields, they have settled down. in fact they pulled back nicely. a new source of anxiety has emerged. according to a survey by rbc capital. the biggest worry are higher taxes, folks. in fact this debate is taking a toll on investor confidence for the next four years under president biden. i want you to take a look. those who viewed this period, next four years postively slipped to 29% from 41% back in december. those who view it negatively has now surged up to 53% from 21%. traditional business organizations, even democratic lawmakers voiced concerns over higher taxes as well. the question is, what would be palatable to investors so we can move on to the next worry. let's bring in slate stone wealth chief market st

that's probably what's happening with joe manchin.partisan deal which we haven't gotten yet in the biden presidency, that'll be smart policy that benefits the country, good politics for him back home when he can go back to very conservative, very republican west virginia and say, look, i was able to improve this bill. i was able to work with democrats and republicans to get through a stimulus bill, an infrastructure bill that we need as opposed to just doing what the democrats want. but there's a problem here as well. this isn't necessarily just about getting through a better bill, it may be that you cause a problem, you throw a went wrench in the works, as you said, and you're always slowing things down just to improve things a little bit. if you're always doing that, that comes with a real risk. eric: you said the republican party should not only be the party of no, and he talk thed about the basic tenets and foundations of the greatest deliberative body on earth, how the senate should work together, how both parties should get toge

very quickly, how did the white house absorb manchin?what's notable we're seeing is how different the tone is as we speak about infrastructure than it was about covid relief. on covid relief, they basically brought republicans in and stuck to the dollar figure and stuck to their deadline. on infrastructure, joe biden himself has said he's wide open on how big it would be, what the corporate tax rate would be. manchin saying it should be 25%, they said they thought that was a good starting point in the conversations they have. the deadline is by august recess. four months. we're going to be talking about this for a while. >> that's interesting. i remember when it was july 4th, already moved a month. when we come back, a don't like surprises?
