Joe Manchin

We don't really get that right now.

We want to continue to be able to provide whatever energy that we can for this Nation.

I appreciate so much.

FERC plays an important role in ensuring this transition will be smooth and successful.

I want to identify, again, that FERC played a very specific role in using an emergency authority that it had never used before.

I want to underscore what Ranking Member Murkowski just said about the importance of interagency dialog.

We owe it to the American people to learn from our mistakes and ensure we never put them in that position again.

As Senator Warren and I have said, the stakes could not be higher.

I am encouraged that the Fed announced yesterday that it would revise its supervisory standards...

Their inability to properly regulate the banks led to an economic catastrophe.

The Federal Reserve is tasked with supervising the Nation's largest banks and is our first line of defense against another financial crisis.

I've often said that Government needs to act as a partner, not an adversary, when it comes to boosting our economy.

The other thing I wanted to say is this. I know the Senator was in parades yesterday, and I can only imagine her schedule. It has to be unbelievable. But with all that said, people still want jobs. All they want is jobs and an opportunity…

I rise today to discuss the gravest and most important issue we can debate in Congress. I am here to talk about America's involvement in the Middle East and President Obama's plan to defeat ISIS. Make no mistake, we must defeat and destroy…

I'm concerned about the United States of America. I'm concerned about West Virginia and all 49 other States and everybody that lives in those States.

But, you said that they're a sovereign nation, so we don't like the outcome, but they have a process.

I have a hard time with all of this.

It makes no sense to me, and I can't sell it. I've tried, you can't sell this stuff. No one believes the outcome will be any different.

That can be changing. That can change continuously.

It's a big enough issue for us to have a policy discussion and not be tied into the funding discussion.

I think what the President's laid out, what I strongly support, is the right thing to do, because it is in the interest, clearly, of our country.

We have to be engaged, because we are antithetical. Most of ISIL's ideology is antithetical to our values.

If money or military might hasn't changed it, what makes you think you can change it now?

What does a defeated or destroyed ISIS look like?

It is foolhardy for the Obama administration to tie the hands and so firmly rule out the possibility of air controllers and special operators on the ground.
