mr. morrissey: and washington liberal joe manchin -- [booing] mr.orrissey: all of these individuals and the coastal elites have been in our west virginia values, they practice political correctness, they advance liberal policies and they did not put america first. but, fortunately for all of us, there was one candidate, one man willing to fight back against political correctness and put america first. donald j. trump. [cheering and applause] mr. morrissey: this election, west virginia has a very big decision to make. you can go back to the values of those who abandoned west virginia, hillary clinton, barack obama or joe manchin -- [booing] mr. morrissey: or you can stand with someone who puts you first, america first, and west virginia first. [cheering and applause] mr. morrissey: the stakes in the selection could not be higher, and the differences between myself and my opponent, dishonest washington liberal joe manchin, they could not be sharper. guys, you have a choice. if you vote for patrick morrissey, you will be voting for a conservative fight

mr. manchin: first of all, i want to thank my good friend from tennessee, senator lamar alexander, for shepherding this through and washing working in a bipartisan way. it is the most important piece of legislation. also to all the colleagues. this is a way -- this is the way legislation should work. it is something that was worked on for a long time. senator blumenthal from connecticut, everyone who worked so hard on t the american people are drowning under the weight of prescription drug epidemic. my state o -- my state of west virginia has been hit the hardest. more than 1,000 died of drug overdoses in 2017. this is a record number of oil spill related deaths -- opioid related deaths in 2016 which was a record that year as well. let's put this in perspective. if those of us who are old enough to remember watching the vietnam war on television and the outrage, rightfully so, that came of that, the protests and how we were able to bring that to an end, during that entire vietnam war period of close to ten years, 58,200 young americans' lives were taken. this last year alone, one year, last year a

mr. chirman. >> senator manchin. >> thank you mr. chairman. secretary wilkie, welcome. i ma i i say appreciate the job you are doing, the changes you have made and the care you have shown for the veterans. with that i want to go over a couple of subjects. basically we are all concerned about the blue water navy. eall have vietnam veterans. west virginia has more unfortunately veterans on the vietnam wall than any state per capita. we have all given. anyway, i want to talk to you about the number of electronic health records, things that we have done over the years that haven't seemed to work that well. and i think you know that. they include the joint program of d.o.d. auld -- the new one now called the integrated ehr to replace the separate ehr systems with a single shared system. on that, the integrated system was abandoned in 2013. and then the seconds of the va and dod announced they would now continue or develop this joint system. once again the va announced its intentions to establish electionan troic health record system that's interoperable with dod. that's thro

manchin? >> miss sandberg, mr. dorsey, thank you both for being here.p in an age without computers and social media so i'm trying to get acclimated the best i can. i have seen how they have been used by my children and grandchildren and how much it helps connect people. i see an awful lot of good. i also have concerns with the internet and social media, how it's been used against us. i think you are hearing concerns from all of my fellow colleagues up here. it's an attempt to divide americans, change our way of life, change our democracy as we know it, and it can be very devastating. my little state of west virginia, my beautiful little state of west virginia with all the wonderful people has been hit extremely hard by illicit drugs and pharmaceutical, opiates. according to the recent wired article, eileen carey spent three years illegally selling opiates on instagram and the practice is widespread on facebook and twitter as well. in many ways, the tools used by opiate dealers are similar to those adopted by other bad actors, including russia, targets t

after 20 minutes joe manchin said no decision yet but apparently susan collins raised some concerns about mrt three, they are the republicans and they are on the fence. but, we in newt gingrich sits here earlier he thinks they will vote yes. manchin is a democrat from west virginia. president trump won by more than 40% there. brian: keep in mind, he would never decide if he gets in or not he wouldn't be the deciding vote he would be the easy vote. they have 47 republicans they say on board already. jeff flake has quoted. this this is a tough one. senator murkowski says this, i'm going to go home and have some dinner and have a chance to think about all that went on today. so, i think it's up in the air. people could say well, the republicans have it, it really comes down to these people, the four you are looking at right now. ainsley: lindsey graham had a message for them. he reminded them yesterday he said i voted for sotomayor and kagan and i voted for them because they're qualified. republicans need to vote for him because kavanaugh is qualified. brian: will they deserve to lose the senat

mr. morrisey tells us he expects the president to come back for at least one more rally before voters in west virginia head to the polls in november. this is a close senate race. democratic joe manchin is ahead with an average of 9 percentage points. but a new internal poll shows they are essentially in a dead heat. >> if you look through the list, the polls were from july and august before the president came in to charleston and before a lot of the ads started coming out. that was before we went up on the air. now we are up to our third commercial and ads do make a difference. we are optimistic that we are gaining ground every day. the reality is the last time the president came we got a big bump when he was in charleston. morgantown, parkers burke. reporter: morrisey is hitting his opponent on a number of issues. he calls him a washington liberal. he voted alongside republicans to confirm justice neil gorsuch. he says he supports the delay and the fbi investigation. the attack from morrisey manchin is not that he'll vote no on kavanaugh. the attack from morrisey standpoint is in his words he won't make a decision until the 11th hour. he says that will matter to voters. he says he

mr. manchin: i ask unanimous consent for one or two minutes to respond. the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia has the floor. mr. inhofe: i'm going to go ahead. i have a few comments to make, and after that, we will -- mr. manchin: i do. okay. let me just say this. i hear my good friend from oklahoma. i understand where they are coming from. i would only say that if that was the intent, if that was the intent and they keep saying affordable care act, obamacare, trumpcare, no matter what you want to call it, politicizing it, we can fix it. we have a fix. we have had a bipartisan fix laying on the majority leader's desk for over a year now. 12 democrats, 12 republicans working together to fix the things we have talked about. one thing we all agreed on is people with preexisting conditions should not be left in in-- in an inhumane situation where they have nothing to count on, no insurance whatsoever. we have been down that road before. this is a correction. we have had this, basically it is against the law for an insurance company to say liste
