Joe Manchin

I think we have both been able to educate not only our fellow colleagues, our Senators, but basically the entire country on the hard work the miners have done and what they have provided for this country for us to be the superpower of the…

Let me say that both of us representing the great State of West Virginia from both sides of the aisle--a main purpose has been protecting the people who did all the heavy lifting in this great country and gave us the energy we needed to be…

I wish to thank my friend from West Virginia, my colleague, Senator Capito, for her support and leadership in our fight to keep the promise made in President Truman's White House more than 70 years ago. For the past two Congresses, Senator…

If we had no choice as we rethink our infrastructure but to look at the totality of potential disasters...

But you are building, we are building baseload of something that could be interrupted. Is that correct?

Do you mind if we bring you to the Intel, a little Intel briefing?

We ought to put a site in Panama City on First Air Force base at Tyndall Air Force base where First Air Force has the responsibility of the defense of the United States, give them a missile defense mission too.

If we ever turn the coal off, they would go dark. Maybe we should do that.

Local governments depend on these programs to function, and we need to have these programs now and give certainty to our local governments.

I would say, really, with a smaller campus like that, you all should handle--I mean, to have the horrific problems you are having with sexual assaults, and then not even an atmosphere where they feel like they can go anywhere and report…

I am outraged, truly outraged, by these reports. I think we all should be ashamed of them.

I do not need to remind them there is no place for sexual assault anywhere in our society, let alone in our United States Merchant Marine Academy or any of the other academies.

So basically our whole... those senators who have been really on energy efficiencies that we have been trying to do here is all for naught when it comes down to cost?

Do we have the ability to show from a technical aspect what was done?

But their involvement in the election has shown a desire to get people that are more friendly toward the Russians?

How intense has their involvement been in other countries that we know in the past?

Could Russia have made a difference in the outcome if they wanted to?
