i think joe manchin will fight for the people of west virginia and do it in good conscious. when the rubber hit the road and donald trump put up a tax plan to sabotage american healthcare that has led to millions losing their healthcare, up to 33 million more losing their healthcare, the tax code saying 80% will go to the wealthier, joe manchin told him no. at the same time, he worked for the president on other issues. maybe he can rein in the bad ideas. >> julie: alex is this the case of buyer's remorse? >> no. what we heard is a good spin. that's what joe manchin is doing right now. manchin opposed president trump's agenda, voted against the tax cuts, repealing and replacing obamacare and now facing a tough re-election because he's too liberal for the state, out of step with trump who is wildly popular. so now he's saying the nice things about the president, saying he might support him in 2020. i would welcome his support. it would be a big deal for having manchin supporting him. but let's be clear, manchin is playing politics. >> julie: or is he a chameleon? it is just su

mcqueen. >> in west virginia our secretary of state is a career military professional who after west point and law school, spent 23 years in the military stationed in hot spots throughout europe and then five years in afghanistan, so as a chief elections officer for west virginia when it came time to looking at and really focusing on voters, many of which are in submarines, under the ocean or in hot spots or caves or tents in a desert somewhere, not able to return their ballot even though they had requested one, that 20% who request a ballot wanted to vote but didn't vote. so why is that? so secretary warner on a number of occasions wanted to vote but couldn't himself, so under the guidelines that we've been given and under the opportunity to work with a number of different organizations, we talked about the defending digital democracy project at harvard and the collaboration with many other secretaries here in this room and with nass. secretary warner was able to champion this military mobile voting solution that we just employed for the may 8th primary election. we don't have all o

and allow the people in west virginia to keep more of their earnings from the labor market. conceptually, it is easy to imagine a tilt and there is nothing to keep them in west virginia. they do not need to be at war, but it all depends on the implementation. about the movement of capital, this is where i think ryan's perspective comes in. this is part of the catchup of mississippi after world war ii. mississippitoday, was the poorest state in the union. in 1958, other states had incomes that was twice that of mississippi. today, not a single state has doubled that of mississippi. mississippi is coming back and part of that is about people moving out and some part is about capital moving in. we have all seen "in the heat of the night" that tells the story of a northern capital coming to a southern town. important real phenomenon. is notson why that working anymore is the nature of work has changed. we see skilled innovators innovating in a way that skilledy requires workers. henry ford innovated in way that made use of tens of thousands of less skilled americans earning five

, when our further west virginia, i'm also talking about those virginia counties pre-1863. many of the regiments were west virginia troops and a number were maryland troops such as the potomac home brigade and in 1864, there were a large number of regiments sent from ohio, known as the 100 day men and they came in to fill the gap as the army needed to be recruited as the three-year enlistment ran out. a number of these 100 day ohio regiments guarded the bno railroad between baltimore and cumberland and the points west in the last virginia. here we have the pioneer, the pioneer built in 1951 was owned by the cumberland valley railroad, conlon valley railroad harrisburgst west of down the conlon valley to hagerstown, maryland through chambersburg. as you can see, this is a very small locomotive that pull only two or three railcars and the problem was that the conlon valley rail system, the tracks and the ties were very poorly constructed, and it couldn't handle anything larger. rather than rebuild the tracks, they simply bought small locomotives. by this time the war began, t

of the democratic party in states like west virginia?stayed totally united. we are doing so much better than people think. there's a public poll that showed manchin up 13 points over his opponent. >> why would he say something like this? >> joe manchin always keeps his options open to do what's best for west virginia. i have confidence he'll do the right thing. >> the idea of why he's doing it. he says, washington democrats are making it more difficult for me to be a west virginia democrat. we keep hearing this. that the democratic party writ large is a problem. and that people are going to have to go on their own if they want to win. >> i think 2016 is a reflection of that. i think it's all changed. we are focused, in our caucus, like a laser on the middle class, helping those who are not in the middle class get to the middle class, helping people who are in the middle class stay there. the difference on economic issues between the more moderate members of our caucus and the more liberal members of our caucus is rather small. and that's

it is not just west virginia businesses and families benefiting. these benefits improved our entire communities. during the roundtable in west virginia, we heard from tony, who is a rural mail carrier. tony and his wife jessica live in west virginia with their two sons. tony explained that because of tax reform, their family was not only able to make home improvements but they were also able to make more charitable contributions. specifically, they took extra money that they had -- that they are seeing on their paychecks and gave it back to their church specifically for the faith-based initiative that has been a very successful resource in fighting the opioid epidemic in a we have seen throughout our state. it is no secret that the opioid epidemic is severely damaging and having consequences within our state. but because of the tax cuts and tony and jessica's generosity at least one community has extra support to fight back against the drug crisis. i know this is not an isolated incident, but it is one that illustrates an important point. tax refor

let me tell you what has happened for states like west virginia. in 2009, the average price per kilowatt hour is 7.84 cents .2017, 11.93%. 11.936. in 2009, someone living in the state of west virginia, on a 2008 else is on an 18% poverty level, $88.16 was the average monthly bill, now it's $126.10. so i don't know how you all think that you have kept these prices down and you're helping these poor people. get through difficult times, you don't want to raise their prices anymore, how can you justify what you have already done? i can't claim that. >> it comes to surprise because of how i believe based on what we need and what we have. if one of you could define what you all the fine as basically baseload power. what you consider to be baseload? i always thought it was 24 seven uninterruptible power. no way it could be undirected 24 seven point you tell me where -- what else does that besides nukes and coal. this is only for 24 months, correct? >> the order by. 24 months. >> you're acting like it will be forever. it is only 24 months and it expires an

i have been to west virginia. and i have been to kentucky and i have talked to familyies who are strung out on opioids, bheem can't find decent jobs and our -- job is not to put down people because culturally they may be a little bit differently different than we are. the reason that trump is in the white house for today is too long the democratic party has turned its back on those working people. [applause] and that's vast are majority what i'm -- what i meant to say is there's racism but the vast majority of those people are simply people whoring working working hard and having a lower standard of living they can't affordable health care or medicine they can't sending their kids to college and they want a government thatten wills to them and so we have to start talking to those people and treat those people with respect. they are rnt an if we're going to go forward as a country we go forward together. thank you, i mean, this is just incredible and welfare another question from debbie in washington d.c.. what do

you are not defending the working families of west virginia or kentucky for the other states of this country that voted overwhelmingly from when you propose to throw 2 million people all of thehealth care and a half . and that's the message we are getting out. you are not protecting working families in this country with pain on taking on the pharmaceutical industry and yet you end up coming up with an idea which says the solution to the high cost of drugs in this country is to make people all over the world pay more. for drugs. making people around the rest of the world pay more is not the solution, lowering prescription drug costs is the solution, having the guts to take on the pharmaceutical industry is what has to be done. and i think people across the country or understanding not just that trump lied about what he proposed to do as president, not only about healthcare, not only about prescription drugs. you may recall trump said he was going to pass tax reform which would not benefit the wealthy. that's just another lie based on hundreds of other lies because as you know, the tax

i have been to west virginia, and i have been to kentucky, and i have talked to families who are strung on opioids, people who can't find decent jobs. and our job is not to put down people because culturally they may be a little bit different than we are. the reason that trump is in the white house today is for too long the democratic party has turned its back on those working people. [applause] and that's the journey. what i'm saying is -- what i meant to say is, you know, of course there's racism and sexism and homophobia out there. but the vast majority of those people are similar me people who are working hard, they're worried to death about their kids, they can't afford health care, they can't afford med kin, they -- medicine, they can't afford to send their kids to college. and they want a government that listens to them and responds to their needs. so to answer the very good question, we've got to start talking to those people. and treat those people with respect. they are as important as any person in this room is. and if we're going to go forward as a country, we go forward tog

when you are particularly looking at someone like joe manchin in west virginia. i still contend that joe manchin is in a better position than all of the other democrats who are on the bubble simply because he was a very popular governor in that state. the people know him. yes, numbers look one way today, but when you go in that voting booth, i think he knows he's got a little cover with the people. so, yeah, he would have extra cover. and it would also lend cover for the other two. but here's the rub, steve. i don't think that murkowski and collins are going to be that much in play as a threat to balk. i think the president will come to the table with another gorsuch-type pick. it is not going to be some hard-charging sort of liberal version of a rabid conservative. i think he likes the style of the gorsuch pick and i think is he going to stay with that. and that's going to be comfortable enough for murkowski and collins to stay in camp. and it will also give cover to those democrats, as well. so i think the president's team, they may have bungled a number of oth

i appreciate my colleague from west virginia raising it. i've got a really important issue i need to raise. that's on the permitting front. back in the day, the highway bill, we got into title 41 of the fast act, legislation i introduced with senator claire mccaskill. it's called the federal permit auge part of these projects. in fact, i got involved in this issue initially because a group came to they were working on a hydro plant on the ohio river. it had taken six years to try to get the permits. they were losing capital. they said, is there any way on these big energy projects like this you can help us get a decision, get the federal agencies to coordinate and have someone be held accountable. in the end, we got the building tradesouncil as well as some environmental groups as well as the business community on board. again, i think is fair to say this has become something that a lot of us are acutely interested in. one thing it does, and this is -- shouldn't be revolutionary, but it is, was it set project deadlines and made it a require

host: that was brian west virginia -- brian in west virginia. guest: i am not quite sure how to respond to that. host: is there a group in the intelligence community that wants to see donald trump fail? people in the intelligence community and law enforcement community all have their own political views. that is part of our system. the important thing is, whatever their political leanings, there are many who are in favor of president trump. the important thing is to keep separate ones politicals -- one's political views from one's professional endeavors. large, the intelligence and law enforcement community, with exceptions, these are human beings mind you, they do that, they keep separate their professional responsibilities from their political views. host: let's go back to north korea very quickly. china hosts russia and iran for a summit as u.s. tensions rise. a summit being held in beijing. does this surprise you? guest: it doesn't. -- it is probable quite understandable and we should not be surprised when we appear to be abdicating our posi

west virginia is a hot ticket now and west virginia is really rolling in a good direction where we've opportunity, hope, you know we're attacking this drug epidemic but west virginia has always shined about its four beautiful seasons but we got a lot of good things happening today. neil: joe manchin the democrat is up by one poll in nine points are you surprised? >> well not really. you know, joe is a politician and he's smooth at what he does and everything, and but i really believe that race will really tighten. i thi he's a hard worker and a good man and everything and the president needs this seat and everything and there's a lot of us that are going to work hard and work hard to try to make thatappen but at the end of the day, joe is a politician and he's good at what he does and everything and so it may not feel bad. neil: governor jim justice thank you for your time. >> neil, thank you, sir. neil: in the meantime, it's all the rage my teenage boys are certainly into it and i heard it was a free game but i keep getting bills for stuff that apparently is not free and apparently t

gain, i think they did very well in terms of getting swing states like pennsylvania, i hire and west virginiathe long—term with china will be the real battle. —— pennsylvania, ohio and west virginia. british prime minister theresa may has laid a wreath at the scene of the london bridge terror attack, to mark one year since eight people were killed by three men armed with knives. 48 others were injured when the attackers first drove a van into pedestrians and then stabbed people enjoying a night out. june kelly reports. on this first sunday of summer, hundreds gathered at southwark cathedral to reflect on a long night full of fear in london, 12 months ago. leading the public figures was the prime minister. eight lives were taken in the london bridge atrocity — one victim, james mcmullan, was british. christine archibald was from canada. ignacio echeverria was from spain. there were two australians, kirsty boden and sara zelenak, and three french victims — xavier thomas, alexandre pigea rd and sebastien belanger. some were visiting london, others had made it their home. and at this interfaith s

so wouldn't your choice program simply leave holes in our west virginia -- i mean the way it is right now our west virginia school budgets created by these proposed cuts is going to leave a hole we can't fill. >> well, sir, the proposal around choice really does offer rural districts opportunities to think differently and to meet students' needs differently as well and that's really sort of the big picture. >> in west virginia we're not trying to -- we just can't afford to start another education system. we don't have the market where the private market is moving into that. all we're doing is taking funds away from hopefully enhancing a system making it better than what we have right now. >> sometimes you can think of choice differently and ike i think we think in terms of inth infrastructure and buildings and i understand maybe the biggest challenge a school not able to offer some ap courses because they don't have enough students, so offering first choice via a virtual classroom is an opportunity to -- >> that would be great except i don't even have internet connect in most areas an

he's in deep red west virginia but at the same time he wants to appeal to a democratic base. the president has said he's not going to ask his potential nominees about the issue of roe v. wade, so that could open the door to speculation on the future of that ruling. so i think conservatives are really about to hunker down to really get someone into that court seat to potentially make traction on that issue. but i think you're going to see a big fight from democrats on that. so lots of money being put into this right now. >> and interesting days ahead. kevin, what signals will you be looking for from the left and the right on how this will play out, especially as we're looking at this happening before the midterm election, like you were talking about. >> yeah. it's so interesting, the timing of this. obviously issues like roe v. wade are so important. but we should note some of the other issues and the economics, really, that a lot of these judges and supreme court justices are going to have to weigh down on. it was just three days ago that the supreme court ruling against big

trump is going to campaign against mansion west virginia -- manchin in west virginia where he is popular. grassley is in the middle of these fights. he's making recommendations on mueller. he's expressing concerns about trade policies. not getting very far on either one but grassley would be one i figure trump would talk to a fair amount. twice a month, that's a decent amount. susan: the senator has been working the trade issue hard for quite a long time. senatorsence of state or the president is popular on the trade policy and your observations where that's going? elana: i think we could see an effort to check the president's use of a particular type of tariff. 232, related to national security. plan a standoff over there would be an actual vote. i think republicans stepped back because they want to discuss a consensus position. tariff are totally separate. there is fairly strong support within the gop. susan: we are out of time. thank you for your questions. differentiates -- appreciate your efforts being here. bob: thank you. elana: thank you. language of attack, of harm, of damage. b

let's move on and talk democrat senator joe manchin in west virginia.ys he regrets now backing hillary clinton and he is looking at trump for 2020 if that is the man who gets the job done. he agrees with the policies then joe manchin will back him. he does vote with the president 60% of time. what is happening? is he about to join the republican party? >> oh, my goodness. joe manchin is obviously concerned about his race. to be flip-flopping on his support for hillary clinton. we have it on the record. go look of the our g.o.p. website or our twitter account. time after time after time. joe manchin on video saying he supported hillary clinton and he trusted her and bill and hillary were his good friends. now suddenly his seat is in jeopardy and president trump is wildly popular in west virginia, he is embracing president trump. >> harris: will it help him? >> the voters of west virginia are so smart. don't fall for it. joe manchin may be a nice guy. have him over for a barbecue. do not send him back to the senate. he will vote for chuck schumer to be th
