those are things going on in west virginia. that's how medicaid is making a true difference in the lives of west virginians. but with the 1115 waiver, with the new administration, and it's always been emphasis on increasing accountability. so with the evaluation, we have partnered with our university, west virginia university to really do a robust evaluation of our waiver, and we're doing a comparison study with regards to our waiver, its impact, and actually doing a different study with another state. we're also trying to gets another state to come on board, but that's where we're at right now. neonatal abstinence syndrome, this is something that happens to babies when they're exposed to drugs in the womb during pregnancy. it's basically the withdrawal of those babies. so a baby with knneonatal abstinence syndrome is not best served in nicu with bright lights and lots of noise. we had some nurses at one of our nicus that were being inundated with these children and started a place called lilly's place. it is actually a place wh

west virginia supported president trump by 42 points. west virginia supports trump today. against the tax cuts that are what's driving the economic growth engine right now in the country. he hasn't stood with the citizens of west virginia in any way. cheryl: it's interesting too, robin, on that point, manchin is one of 10 senate democrats that is sitting in solid trump category. trump won every county in the 2016 election. the criticism on morrisey is he isn't connecting with the local voters. manchin is still ahead in the polls at this point. >> he is very ahead. i've taken issue with some of his campaign ads. he really is getting across a good, strong message. he's got a great ground game and really solid gotv efforts. a lot of it plays into that. again, i really think that he's getting across the point, he's talking about job retraining, some of these people and he's pointing out some of the disparities, donald trump cutting benefits, for example, for black lung victims, some of these things. these issues speak to those voters in particular. cheryl: hal, i want to give

s, which has been piloted in huntington, west virginia. based on similar programs around the country, a q.r.t. is a three-pronged effort by medical professionals, mental health agencies, and law enforcement. these teams contact individuals who overdose within 72 hours of their overdose to help get them into treatment programs. in other words, let's just not have them come into the emergency room, stop the overdose, and have them walk back out with no follow-up. these quick response teams, given the success of the q.r.t.'s in our state. i worked with senator murphy to include a grant program in the support act that will allow communities across the country to implement similar programs. when it comes to what is not working, over the last year or so, i began to hear from hospice staff who, due to a d.e.a. rule -- i seriously didn't understand this rule -- were not allowed to destroy unused medication unless authorized by state law. that -- you know, a lot of times in hospice, particularly with elderly people in hospice or anybody who is in a

west virginia. i love west virginia. >> reporter: president trump won west virginia by 42 points.g office, he's been here 7 times. >> senator joe manchin voted to allow federal funding. >> reporter: the race here, intense, ad spending by the candidates and outside groups now reaching over $30 million. and some abortion rights opponents here say manchin's support for kavanaugh comes too late. >> i think the people of west virginia are really awake. they know the kind of guy that he is, and i think we're ready to get him out. >> reporter: now, all this becoming very, very political very quickly. donald trump jr. tweeting shortly after senator manchin made his announcement, saying, a real profile in courage from lying liberal joe manchin west virginia you waited until kavanaugh had enough votes secured before he announced his support. he had another press release ready to go if collins was no vote and then quickly endorsed his opponent, patrick morrissey, here in west virginia. this race is going to be one for the ages. kate, back to you. >> absolutely, miguel. thanks so much. >>> i

he's in a tough race right now in a few weeks in west virginia. they will have to vote. he voted in favor of moving ahead with the procedural vote today. he says he hasn't announced how he will vote tomorrow. if you have a chance to speak with him, what would you say to him? >> it is a tough decision for all of us. what i have said is this is tough because you have a credible woman coming forward and courageous enough to come forward without any benefit to her. she was credible and poised and answered every question. then you have obviously the nominee, brett kavanaugh, coming forward. we saw his response and how he was belligerent and evasive. that doesn't help as we try to uncover the truth. so that we can make a decision. that's what this was about. for purposes of my colleagues, it's a tough decision, but at the end of the day for me, it's about the right person that has what i just said, those qualities. not only the right temperament can be impartial and has the ability to be the right person there. wolf, keep this in mind. there are so many qualified people out th

west virginia. we have to hold this seat. and i have to win in order to advance trump's jobs agenda. otherwise the obstructionists are in power. i feel good. we're rising in the polls and a strong position five weeks out. >> bill: patrick morrissey. thank you for coming on today. >> sandra: we're counting down to key senate races from west virginia to tennessee. president trump hopes to give marsha blackburn a boost in her senate fight in tennessee. she joins us with that and more. >> sandra: it's been one year since the las vegas massacre that killed 58 in las vegas. the tragedy is still haunting the nation. we still don't know what led stephen paddock to stock his hotel room and open indiscriminate firing. jonathan hunt is live from las vegas this morning. jonathan, how are the survivors coping one year later? >> it's been a very difficult year for everybody here in vegas. no one more so than those who experienced the horrors of that night, sandra. we're right now at a sunrise remembrance ceremony

joe manchin of west virginia, susan collins of maine.to make an announcement later today about how she will ultimately vote, a sign that perhaps her vote may not be the same as her vote to advance the nomination to a final vote. now, on joe manchin's side, the west virginia democrat, he's expected to release a statement soon, expressing his position and an aide to manchin tells me he often philosophically likes to vote yes on the procedural votes on nominees to move to a final vote, so perhaps the final vote may not be the same. we expect lisa murkowski, she's not made a comment yet. she's been on the floor for the last 20 minutes or so talking to leaders in both parties, but is hard to see her changing her vote after voting no to block this from proceeding. and jeff flake had announced last week that he was already a yes on confirmation, so it's expected he'll probably still be a yes after he voted to advance the nomination to a final vote. so that is why the focus intensely on collins and manchin and whatever they say ultimately will d

west virginia is obviously one of those key states. is happening right now in tennessee which is one of the states we are visiting next week. it's a really close senate race between congresswoman marsha blackburn and the governor of that state. he put a statement out this morning saying he would have been a yes on kavanaugh. it was one of those winding statements that you know, i'm not thrilled with it but if i was there, i would vote yes. now, just before i came in here, something crossing one of the wires, a news report coming in that one of the big liberal super pacs that had been supporting him is now either thinking about or is already drawing back on support of him. remember, they are in a neck and neck race in tennessee. you would think the democrats, no matter what his vote is, from a political standpoint would need that seat if they have any hopes of taking back the senate. but given what you said about joe manchin, if it does come down to the last vote and he needs to be the guy to put kavanaugh over the top, or even if it lo

the senator from west virginia just in the last few seconds made that announcement.he democrats from west virginia is the first and so far only democrat to say that he will vote for judge kavanaugh. not a surprise in any way that it happened immediately after, just about to be expected. west virginia is ruby red and now things are as we expected might be, chris. >> yeah, i have to say, i don't know that joe manchin has been a profile in courage on this. he didn't vote to end the debate, to invoke cloture in he was sure that he was 50 votes. he didn't announce how he was going to vote on kavanaugh until he saw that it was already decided by susan collins. so he's on the "right side of the issue" politically for most voters in west virginia but he waited until he was not the swing vote. >> shepard: the next step is a vote in congress, a full vote in the senate and it's our understanding that comes tomorrow. is that right? a lot of debate first. >> a lot of debate. 30 hours. only in the senate would you cut off debate by invoking cloture that starts the clock for more 3

jake: you mentioned west virginia and indiana. it's notable those are states that you and the president won handily represented by democrats. republicans have not been able to put those democrats away. especially in west virginia where joe manchin holds anywhere from a 10 to 15 point lead over the republican. i'm curious what you chalk that up to. vp pence: i have heard that race is really close right now in west virginia. and my wife karen was just there campaigning not long ago. we will be back in west virginia before too long. patrick morrissey is running a great campaign, he has been a great attorney general and has is aligned completely with the agenda that west virginia voted overwhelmingly for in making president trump the 45th president. in the state of indiana, i love the hoosier state. we have a long tradition of bipartisanship in the state, but again, mike braun has run a great campaign. he came out of a competitive primary, but he has pulled the party together and has support from independents and frankly, support from

that is senator joe manchin of west virginia. so he completes a list of unknowns where we have it now. officially susan collins is a yes. we reported that jeff flake is a likely yes on here. lisa murkowski, she voted against closure. some people said she will be a likely note. back to senator manchin. his opponent in that senatorial race, pat morrisey said that joe manchin only votes in the interest of joe manchin. president trump had all the votes he needed to vote for kavanaugh but he waited to try to save his political career. be that at it may, a yes is a yes for brett kavanaugh and whatever the motivation, the lone democratic supporting him will be joe manchin who is already up in the polls by a little or a lot and whether that is sort of finalized the deal in west virginia is anybody's guest. let's go to frank luntz from charleston. what do you think of that? >> in driving here from the airport, we saw several protests and state where trump won very big. were they anomalies or what do you think? >> they're anomalies. lookin

let's go with west virginia right now. joe manchin there. and north dakota, heidi heitkamp. >> take a look at the polls. so this came out sort of at the same time that heidi heitkamp was announcing no on the kavanaugh nomination. the state went for donald trump by 36 points. she's running 12 points behind here. the conventional wisdom, you go against trump, when you're already down by 12 points, ooh, tough to see climbing out of that. she will get a ton of money from democrats now who are inspired by what she did. there's some hope from democrats that, hey, maybe north dakota voters say there's some independents here. she is clearly the most in danger democrat incumbent on the map. you ask about west virginia here. manchin now of course voting yes. voted yes yesterday. will do so apparently again today. manchin was in strong shape relative to the politics of his state. west virginia went for donald trump by 42 points in 2016. manchin, a poll had him up eight points. a number of polls like this. joe manchin has been able to separate himself f

, dedicated his life to west virginia. >> no one lives the people of west virginia or joe manchin.west virginia university basketball coach bob huggins and nba hall of famer jerry west from west virginia supporting the incumbent in the new ad. manchin facing off against matt -- patrick morrissey in a tough race. you may want to think twice before biting into that fast burger. tracy carrasco here with new grades that may be hard for some to swallow. >> this is a study that comes from the natural resources defense council. they looked at the top restaurants, how they are reducing use of antibiotics in their meat supply. coming in within a, two restaurants, shake shack and burger 5 but the other restaurants they looked at, 25, they didn't do so well, wendy's gotta d-22 other chains including mcdonald's, burger king, 5 guys, jack-in-the-box got an f. they say the overuse of antibiotics in livestock is contributing to the growing threat of antibiotic resistance so that is why they did this study, something to think about. >> pizza hut on the other hand launching a $5 lineup nationwide.

manchin, the democrat joe manchin -- joe manchin, the democrat from west virginia is going to vote in fab of this confirmation. he announced five minutes after susan collins made her dramatic announcement on the floor, and, of course, lisa murkowski ultimately decided to vote no. richard? >> all right. michael will be on the floor all day. thank you, my friend. let's bring in julia on the hill. we've got "the new york times," votes to secure and confirm kavanaugh basically. also looking at the "washington post." this is also today's paper. senate poised to confirm kavanaugh. you've seen these yourself as well. so is there anything you're hearing from your sources despite what these headlines are that might possibly change the kavanaugh outcome? >> you know, richard, it really seems like at this point the vote will go on. a very dramatic week in washington with lots of twists and turns. i think yesterday was a very cathartic moment for a lot of people following this hearing. we saw that susan collins, one of the key swing votes in this confirmation announced support for kavanaugh, desp

west virginia was a democratic stronghold., republicans have made major inroads into this state. now democrats are wondering whether a candidate like ojeda any be a model for taking back control in this std across the country. >> we got to get back hat the democratic party really was about. we create opportunities for those who live in poverty. >> aindor: at rallies and in facebook videos, ojeda rails against corporate money and lobbyists. >> they'reootlickers, ladies and gentlemen. >> alcindor: he's won the backing of the state's l tgest coal andchers' unions. he also supports a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and legalizing recreational marijuana. deyet, ojeda voted for pre trump. >> am i happy with him now? i'm not. but the thing about it is i'm willing to stand in a corner will throw stones at me for supporting donald trump. but i'll tell you what.e whcome from, the coal mines are operational. >> alcindor:s there anything out him personally that's changed that made you not want to support him? >> when yo

a democrat from west virginia who may support trump's nominee. now he is in the undecided column. senator lisa murkowski, a republican who voted against letting the vote on kavanaugh advance to the floor this morning. that likely signals she will be a vote no tomorrow. earlier tay

it would be right along the ryland border and up into the high spots of west virginia. here's future weather, keep all the rain off of the i-95 corridor. most of the chances for showers are way back out west of the west virginia border. during the course of the afternoon, we'll get a mix of clouds and sunshine, but it should be a dry daytoday. rrent temperatures, upper 40s and low 50s. nothing to complain about. temperatures will climb into the mid 50s at noonnd near 60 for a high temperature today. this is just the beginning of a delightfully mild finish to october. halloween forecast, 70 degrees halloween afternoon. that's the pick of the tter, 74. >> sounds good to me. chopper 4 over this problem, ash is on the right side of the road helping things a bit. we're not seein too much of a slow down, but we still see some delays through that area. the rest of the beltway is looking okay right now. eastbound 66ra after 29, there on the right side. starting to see delays southbound there. the right side there blocked by a crash. >> thank you. 6:41 nownd still ahead, keeping

art, the fact that he ends up in west virginia and that night is killed. how can that happen?it's kind of unusual. but the oklahoma city facility is usually the transfer point the bureau of prisons uses to move inmates around the country. it's not unusual he was being transferred. what is unusual, and i've heard some information, but usually when you go to a new facility, for about five to seven days you're in segregation until they can classify you, take a look at your background. obviously whitey's a well-known individual. but the word i'm getting is he opted to go into general population, and apparently that's where this incident occurred that he was killed. and it really is sort of the end of an era here. whitey was one of the last big mop bo mob bosses. he was 89 years old, i heard his health was failing. >> your path years ago, the big alcatraz escape, can you tell me a whitey bulger story? >> yeah. the biggest cape from alcatraz where frank morris and the two brothers escaped in 1962 and whitey was in the facility, he got there in 1961. i believe he was there until it c

the problem is when you look at someplace like west virginia. if you need four times the number of hospital beds when looking at treatment centers, nobody has done anything about that problem. that is the area i think candidates may make inroads. in her district, you have a candidate who has a record as a doctor and that is something candidates can successfully pivot off of. from ohio,is sandra republican line. good morning to you. caller: good morning. i am so sorry, i was an independent. i accidentally hit the wrong -- host: you are on, go ahead. guest: the republican party will happily take you if you are independent. caller: i am definitely republican. i have been watching all this mess going on with liberals acting the way they are acting. i was appalled at the way they -- democratsaugh are on my list. i cannot believe what is happening today. to me, it is like riding. -- rioting. host: anything specific for the senate race in ohio you want to talk about? caller: it's between bad and worse. i am definitely not going to vote for brown, so i

senator who is in the hotly-contested race for reelection in west virginia.on jr., even though joe manchin announced his support for brett kavanaugh, the president's son going after joe manchin, a real profile in courage from lying liberal joe manchin, don jr. tweeting, waiting until kavanaugh had enough votes to secure before he announced his support. i bet he had another press release ready to go if collins went the other way. i think at this point it is the republican party's attempt to try to spin man chin's vote in favor of kavanaugh as some kind of negative because they know it is a tough race in west virginia. if joe manchin could eke out a win in part because he came out in support of brett kavanaugh, that foils a lot of republican plans to overturn that seat and turn it red. >> the president, as we know, spent a lot of time in west virginia campaigning against joe manchin. >> reporter: that's right. >> let's get more on all of that. democratic senator bob menendez is joining us. thanks for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> let me get your though

democratic senator from west virginia, joe manchin is a yes.at holds, the cloture motion will pass and we will begin a 30-hour period where we will move ultimately to a debate likely around 4:00 or 5:00 saturday afternoon. back on the senate floor. >> miss heitkamp, no. mrs. mccaskill. no. mr. menendez, no. mr. reed, no. mr. king, no. mr. van holland, no. ms. hirono, no. mr. blumenthal, no. mrs. shaheen, no. >> bill: as we await the final tally we do know what the critical votes now that they have been cast and for the moment brett kavanaugh's nomination lives. >> sandra: keep in mind senators do sometimes,, they sometimes vote to bring the debate to a close which has been a indication from susan collins. she has announced she has voted yes but she is going to make a further announcement how she will vote tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. eastern time. >> bill: back inside. >> mr. carper. >> senator not recorded. mr. carper, no. >> are there any senators in the chamber who wish to change their vote? as a reminder to our guests in the gallery, expressions o

of us just not being able to listen to the other side i grew i was born and raised in southern west virginia which is country how many rallies has the president done out there i go back every few weekends and my family enjoyed great prosperity and the southern part of the state and we still very much love that part it doesn't matter to me that people say to me that donald trump is. the next you know he's sort of like a demigod around there let's just admit it and i couldn't be further from supporting this president but look the thing to me is i understand that these people felt depressed they felt like donald trump offered them something and offered them so lucian's to their woes now that's remains yet to be seen right now in this moment the economy's doing great we know this may not last forever but people in my home state of west virginia felt like they wanted something else and clintonian policies and they just didn't feel that hillary clinton like i did really could relate to the plight of the average american woman because she'd been out of touch with it for a while now the great irony

they moved into a prison in west virginia. he is known as eluding authorities for 16 years and he was serving two life sentences for involvement in nearly a dozen murders. let's go to our national correspondent, jason carroll. what can you tell us? >> the details are still coming in. he lived a violent life and had a violent history and has come to a violent end. james whitey bulger was killed at that facility, that federal facility in west virginia. apparently it happened this morning. still trying to get details about who was responsible and how it all happened. multiple sources say it did ha upon this morning. the 89-year-old had been transferred from a prison in florida to another facility. as you were saying, he was serving two life sentences after being convicted in 2013 for a litany of crimes including racketeering and murder. as you may remember, it was on the fbi's most wanted fugitive list. one other person, osama bin laden. he was well-known in the mob world. he was a well-known irish-american organized crime figure

there could be a stray shower intoouheains of west virginia and maybe a drop or two potentially.ut most of t i-95 corridor, dry weather. here's future weather then. y early this morning. there you can see that lingering chance for a few showers up in the high spots of west virginia and other tha a few clouds drifting by from time to time this afternoon not going to be a bad day to be outside at all. so after clouds this morning, mostly sunny ses later today and for tomorrow, nicer still. full sunshine all the way throwh the day tomor with a high near 63 and now, here's your ten-dayforecast. this is going to be a great week. wednesday is halloween. 70re d for halloween and after friday rain drops, the weekend wl be sunny anddry. >> i like that on all accounts. okay. taking a look at mcclain. outerloop. we have chopper 4 to show us what's going on. the rest of the beltway looks okay. southeast, 295 here northbound at pennsylvania haenue. a crash reported there right now and northbound 301 and governor bridge road, the left lane is nowy blocked an earlier crash that was on the right

a democrat from west virginia who may support trump's nominee. right now he is in the undecided column. senator lisa murkowski, a republican who voted against letting the vote on kavanaugh advance to the floor this morning. that likely signals she will be a vote no tomorrow. earlier today she said the entire vote to end the debate, the debate vote, which we have this morning, that whole thing was a mistake. >> i believe that brett kavanaugh is a good man. i believe that she a good man. it just may be that in my view, he's not the right man for the court at this time. >> senator jeff flake of arizona was thought to be a potential gop vote against kavanaugh but he ultimately fell in line with the rest of his party announcing his support for kavanaugh earlier this afternoon. he also appeared confident that the nominee would be approved. >> did our best? >> think he will get confirmed tomorrow? >> i would think so. >> which brings us to today's big question. will the senate confirm brett kavanaugh? joining me msnbc news capitol hill correspondent gar

you more people paying attention to this so i hope that anybody who's running in tennessee and west virginia and southwestern virginia, the appellation section of ohio, et cetera, et cetera, i do know people those areas and candidates from his fairies are listening to what ashley has to say. because we do have the capacity to pick some vote up on this if they're willing to show political courage. it is a heart issue to. i'm not totally convinced he can be done -- >> we will be the last few minutes of this "washington journal" discussion. you can see the rest of it on our website c-span.org. u.s. senate continues debate on the house approved water resources development act today. they will be gathered in in just a moment. a procedure book to limit debate on the bill set for 530 eastern this afternoon. and now to live coverage of u.s. senate here on c-span2.

we haven't heard from senator joe manchin of west virginia.tate for him to be a yes or judge kavanaugh. we'll know when we know. should he come out and make a statement, we'll let you know. i mentioned this big rally in rochester, minnesota and one person arrived yesterday at 5:00 a.m. the crowds have been huge all around and they're already filling up the arena. alicia acuna is inside. you can see folks are there a good three hours early, huh? >> oh, very early. far earlier than what you were talking. it was amazing. i watched the morning show, the local reporter -- it was chilly outside. people are here now to get in. we're in rochester, minnesota like you mentioned. this is congressional district 1. it's one of four swing districts in the state of minnesota. so you're talking about half of the voters in the state of minnesota, which is part of the reason why president trump is here. he's giving a boost to republican jim hagerdorn who will be here with the president. he's running in cd 1 here in minnesota. hillary clinton won the state of mi

and you could make it all happen, even west virginia, new jersey are now in play. 12 days.troubled. there she is, laura ingraham who takes it away from the sewer, washington, d.c. >> laura: okay. every time you throw to me, the last word out of your mouth is sewer or swamp. i get it. it's getting to be a little demoralizing. come on 89 i live in a sewer and swamp in new york, also. i pay 10% state income tax. if i lived in florida or texas, i would pay zero. that means why are we here? i agree. >> laura: i have a tiny violin playing for you hannity. >> sean: are you going to make me throw papers at you

and this is time now for the republican majority along with senator manchin of west virginia, democratic senator to confirm brett kavanaugh on saturday to the united states supreme court. >> sandra: does it happen? >> i think it will. i want to pick up on the point we're seeing play out exactly as predicted. when this renewed investigation was agreed to, everyone said well, it is not going to satisfy the democrats whatever it is. they'll move the goalpost. we're seeing that right now. the thing that i would love to know and the question that needs to be asked of dr. ford's attorneys when they say this is not good enough and we weren't interviewed. what exactly is the new information that they want to give theoretically to the
