Joe Manchin: “I want to publicly express that appreciation today.”

We got a runaway debt. We got inflation that's killing people. We've got an unsecured energy. We have a border that's out of control.

The way the parties have weaponized the political process today, they make it impossible to have a 'D' or an 'R' next to your name and speak to the other side.

It's broken. It needs to be fixed.

My observation, and recommendation from observation, would be, John, trust me, set yourself free and become an independent.
