This does not mean that Manchin should change parties, though I would love that- we need him on the other side to influence those Dems who are going so Left that I don't recognize it. I'm an independent, but don't think I will ever go Dem again.
Same here. Welcome. I was always told I had to be a dem growing up. Never questioned that as I didn't know much about politics until recently. Republican all the way now
That was a joke of a rambling reelection speech that pleased racists and coal industry execs period. That was an old man who knows where his bread is buttered singing to the baker. Nothing more.
His life has been difficult, and will continue to be, due to standing his ground. You, Sir, have earned my respect and the respect of many more Americans than you will ever know. I salute you... and Thank You for helping save America
Joe Manchin, I admire your wisdom, integrity, grit, and your honesty. Just wish those traits were a lot more prevalent in your party. My dad and grandfather were both Dems, back when they were the party of the working man. Now, I'm not sure I even recognize the bizarre Dem agenda. There is NOTHING in it I can get behind. You and Sen. Sinema have saved this country from a WHOLE lot of bad policy. Thank you.
The problem I see is that the leftists have taken over the Democratic Party. Luckily not all. The true leftists want power more than anything. The great reset is being promoted across the world and to make it happen they need to be in power. PLEASE GOD HELP US SAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We are being divided more and more every day. From our children, our family and our political, cultural and even gender values.
If more politicians in both parties acted and thought like Senator Manchin, the majority of our nation's problems would be resolved once and for all. Thank you Senator Manchin for being a fair, honest, and true American patriot.
Hmmm…. He voted to impeach President Trump? Answer, yes he did and his constituents back home were furious. All i can say is a fire was lit under his ass.

He picked US Democracy over the pettiness and pressure of his party. He should be celebrated for that rather than demonized. It shows how much we have strayed as a nation.
Lol that's funny. You think either the Democrats or Republicans represent you or me? Biden. Trump. Makes no difference. The interests of most (the middle class) of American people are never represented. The political parties represent the elites. You and I are not in the big club. Whatever Manchin is doing here doesn't really have anything to do with me or you. The political parties divide regular Americans against each other. Vote Republican. Vote Democrat. Hate the other side. Blah blah. I'm sick of it. Why do we allow PRIVATE organizations (political parties) to be the gatekeepers to PUBLIC office? We need INDEPENDENT candidates and PUBLIC funding of elections. Manchin is not your friend.
@@punkypinko2965 I'm not saying either party/president represents me or anyone. _However,_ it's abundantly clear that one party is trying to change the rules to secure power because they have a terribly disliked president. Here we have one politician that did the opposite of what was demanded of him. That is still cause to celebrate him regardless of party.
Blows my mind that the democrats have a guy like this in their stable, but have Biden run for president. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know.
@@UniqueBreakfastTaco I'm liberal but I'm one who believes it for what it's supposed to represent. Democrats basically tainted liberalism. So much so that I often don't like saying I'm one.
You do realize that he doesn't give a damn about you, right? This is grandstanding. He's an asshole. Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats represent you or me. He talks so grand meanwhile he's part of the whole problem in politics. How many years has he been there? He and Biden and Obama and Bush and Cheney and all those other assholes who have screwed over the middle class over and over. Stop being a sucker.
Senator You were a great Governor and now a great Senator thank you for standing up not only for our state of West Virginia but for all in the great United States of America. Very proud of you God Bless
@@Peace-iz7gj You could say this for pretty much all of congress on both sides. The problem is that kids for multiple generations have been taught to hate our country. "Right and Just" should be a great moral argument, but what seemed so simple 100 years ago is thought of as "ists and wrongs" today. This problem started in the late 60s/ early 70s and our society is crumbling because members from Congress as whole can't get their head out of there asses. Government officials are more concerned about one upping the one across the aisle than actually representing their constituents.
This man is perhaps the most courageous in the entire nation -- to be within the Democrat den and continue to resist their corruption! God bless and protect him!
@@amacookies89 lol democrats have been acting like children because they arent getting their way. I considered myself a liberal but when your trying to make law and policy while feelings are the center of your arguments instead of presented data and information you start to consider yourself more conservative. Now they want to change the rules because they cannot effectively communicate and compromise. The filibuster provides a balance so that major changes cannot completely disregard the minority. Why would anyone not respect that rule?
@@amacookies89 Nasty Pelosi just said she would not stop insider trading when told that her husband sold early and made them ten million in that one event. But yeah, see who you can come with supporting your thinking lol.
Senator, you are a very level headed man. W. Virginia is very lucky to have you.Texas has early voting. But we have fair voting. We opened more voting places for people to have choices
And I don't have a problem with showing up with my ID to vote, it's a privilege I take seriously. I've had a picture ID since I was 16 it's not asking for much. 🇺🇸
@Fisticuffs Guilde I don't have a problem with it. I don't like boxes not being monitored being used. Like th Senator said election day being a Tuesday some people can't get to the polls in time. I've done both as long as it's an honest election without ballot harvesting I'm ok with a week early. None of this after the polls close counting votes under the table shenanigans.
As a conservative, I’m very impressed with Manchin. We wouldn’t agree on everything, but he’s right about this filibuster vote! Thank you for holding on to your principles, sir!

@@tedmarakas2626 Except the Clinton's weren't crooked and Manchun and Sinema are beholden to Big Pharma and coal industries If you're STILL a Republican after the coup attempt, you aren't paying attention.
1. Manchin's walk down memory lane is a waste of time; it's been PROVEN that Republicans are obstructing. 2. Status Quo is NOT WORKING. 3. Manchin is naive and probably a racist.
Yes! A democrat that knows his self, his values, the people of this country and holds true to his convictions. I know he is getting grief from his party, but I really respect him.
One of the best speeches I've listened to in quite some time. As a independent, I'm so thankful for level headed people with some common sense and courtesy.
There you go AOC AND HARRIS, OMAR are dangerous lady. JOE BIDEN is not running our Country some knuckle is doing this, telling Joe Biden 🙄what to do and say they probably threatened 🤔😳🙄by these people. Remember everytime he make mistakes, he would say I'm going be in trouble. Someone is controlling 😴Joe Biden.
Finally, a government speech about humanity and the need for civility. I am absolutely not a Democrat (hell, they aren't either according to the definition of the word), but I support Joe Manchin and his stand for decency.
@No Touchy Perhaps the Republicans can learn a lot from his speech. It is only now that you do not have the majority that you think about humility, disgusting!
I've lived in WV all my life, 62 years, and used to think JFK was the last democrat who loved America, now I think there's two. Hats off to Senator Joe Manchin
He makes me proud to be from West Virginia. So many people put us down but here is a man from this great state trying to get the senate back where it belongs. Senator Manchin, I thank you.
You should be very proud. I'm not a Dem, but, I think that this guy is the most well mannered, considerate, man. I would vote for this guy. The Dems have Manchin but they ran JB?
Yes. I am from Michigan & i so much appreciate this man. Senator Manchin. Thank God he actually has a conscience& cares about not only the people in his home state if WVA but all states and all of us Americans . This would've been a disaster if it was able to pass. A one party rule? In the US? That's conmunisium NOT America . Very scary to see all the people who did vote Yea on both sides. We all can see who's actually fighting for us& who's not. God Bless 🙏☝
I hope West Virginia is proud of Joe Manchin because he is a dying breed of politicians that actually have integrity and care about his constituents instead of bowing to those in Washington. I wish more politicians voted with their heart instead of just doing what they are told by their party leaders.
LOL. Right . Manchin is all heart and . . . coal. See 1 million in yearly revenue from his sone's coal business while state ranks near the bottom in education, infrastructure, health care and family income. Now he can add blocking voting rights act to his list of achievements. What a guy!
@@carlfaucher1543 Blocking voting rights? You mean blocking the unconstitutional federal takeover of the voting process and eliminating voter ID and other measures to ensure fair elections.
@@thorthunder3227 If there's one thing poor people demand, it's that the filibuster get removed so that Democrats can pass all their pork bills. It's poor people's #1 concern, but only when there's a Democrat in charge. Otherwise it's fascism. PS: Truuuuuump
The most important thing a politician should do is listen to what the people want and what is best for our country. This country should be of and for the people!

My respect and admiration for this gentleman. Thank God for people like him. As long as there are man like him we can believe there is hope for this great country.
This somewhat kills my thoughts on term limits. This man is an old school democrat & represents old school thinking. Without these old schoolers there, We would be ruled by essentially activist's & extremist's.
This was an amazing, moving speech. Honestly, for seventeen minutes he made me feel proud to be an American again. That's something I haven't been able to feel in a while.
@@Danarchy3 I was impressed with the comment about a bill never truly debated with a simple majority. Even if the Republicans take over the Senate I would prefer to stay with a 60 vote rule. Let the voters of each State determine if they like the way their Senator voted. This is what causes change in the Senate.
I would like to shake this man's hand and thank him for standing up for all American citizens ... I would even do it in broad daylight.. Thank you Mr manchin... much respect.
If by stones you mean ice cubes in his bourbon on his yacht, then I agree. Manchin doesn't give a damn about people otherwise he'd play ball. Instead he's a dino treading water in a red state.
He's one of the smartest senators up there an he stands behind the people that elected him , they all should learn from him he has nothing to be ashamed of being there ,, all party's aside
I love Joe Manchin. I am in California, and wish we had leaders like that here. West Virginia and America are fortunate that he is serving in the US Senate.
Sounds like a man that truly respects the institution that he was elected to over a decade ago. We need more politicians like him... On both sides of the aisle.
He went to Texas this summer to recieve money to vote with repubs. He cares more about his money than Americans. Just look into his Wife and daughter, they are big time grifters also.
@@patriciatodd3943 No, he doesn't. He is doing the right thing. We don't need the federal government running anything. There is nothing they run is good.
@@patriciatodd3943 Maybe true, but he is saving the Union by representing the American people, and maintaining the checks and balances in our Government.
@@patriciatodd3943 if you don’t think most of them are bought and paid for, you’re living in a fantasy world. How are people like Nancy Pelosi rich off a salary of less than $200k a year? The fact that Manchin has the guts to stand up to his party and do what’s right, has nothing to do with “going to Texas and taking money from Republicans.” If the Republicans did away with the filibuster back when the dems were begging them not to, the democrats would lose their mind. The country has run on checks and balances forever, taking that away makes it 1 party rule.
I would bet heavily that he retires rather than run for reelection as a Democrat when his term ends. He will ride off into the sunset as his party descends into madness.
Love Thomas Sowell. Proudly wear a slew of t-shirts that have his quotes on them. Love wearing them around WOKES and RHINOS. If the current regime manages to get control of over voting, in time, will probably get arrested when wearing them.

Great speech. I'm not an American but I agree with him. Together we stand and divided we fall are simple words that have been spoken in the past that still mean so much more today

This will go down as an historic speech by a true patriot. Brought tears to my eyes to hear a sane polititian urging his fellows toward their original purpose and job they were elected to do. Thank you Mr. Manchin.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". As one America, Joe Manchin is one man we should all be proud of. He leads through wisdom and humility and we should all prey for him as he stands against the enemies of freedom we now see as our leaders.
I have tremendous respect for the courage and integrity of this man. In spite of the fact that his own party has slandered him for his lack of capitulation, he speaks to them and the GOP with respect and encouragement.
Being a life long conservative, I MUST take my hat off to this Man. What an impressive SPEECH. We need a President to speak and act like Senator Manchin. To not put partisan politics in front of who we are
Partisan? The guys just doing what he was paid to do. That's why he blocked fed investment in his own state despite it being the poorest in the nation.
I’m a Republican. But if I were in Senator Manchin’s state, I would consider voting for him. This is a good man with a whole lot of integrity and courage. Thank you Senator for standing up against corruption of the Senate/Constitution. If he was ever to run for President he just might win.
And with a republican majority would you vote to end the filibuster? If the answer is yes then we're not taking about sanity. What I see is that the filibuster represents minority rule and congressional inaction. Now if there were a republican majority, I would vote for anything to keep an idiot like Trumps agenda from coming to pass. But let's be honest about it. Ultimately it does all come down to majority rule, there certainly should be more balance among republicans to throw some votes toward progressive agendas good for the country, but right now Manchin and Sinema are the thin wire keeping the balance teetering back and forth to nowhere
@@lisacarter5800 limiting poll stations in poor areas that make it longer for some to get to. Likewise, because there are so few places to vote, long lines build up for hours, with many being turned away after polls closed

It's nice seeing a government official actually acting like a adult with genuine respect for his colleagues and the citizens.

Takes one ignorant statement for me to not listen to someone Takes one intellectual speech for me to understand that there are some of all kinds everywhere We all would be much better off together , sounds cheesy but it’s a simple fix

There would not be any hope for us - Americans. Christ - the WH Regime probably already would have tossed out the constitution and be confiscating guns from private Americans (not the criminals though- they have rights).
isnt it odd how the republican party supports and encourages treasonous behavior, while the ones who stand for democracy (cheny kinsinger) are ostracized for telling the truth?
I am no longer a Democrat because the democrats said one thing and then their actions where the opposite and I didn't leave the party they chose to listen to extremist and they left me. Manchin is a man that can lead and run the nation and he is competent and honest and just a good person which is exactly what we don't have in politics and need in America right now. I am so glad somebody has some honesty and morals and doesn't change those morals just for money or power. If more democrats were like him I would still be a Democrat and that's a fact Jack. How many times are Americans going to listen to the Democrat media and politicians lif the politicians lie to our face over and over before they start making some changes with their voting?

For a minute I thought I was back in 70's or 80's, the last time I recall Dems and Repubs being civil to one another. Manchin is correct on every point and he helped us dodge a bullet. I view my general political beliefs as right leaning, though I have some liberal social views as well. I have voted for both parties for President. I suspect I will continue to. The filibuster is so important as it keeps wild swings in government policy. If conservatives were to vote by simple majority to outlaw early voting or totally eliminate vote by mail, the Progressives would explode, but it is just this kind of crazy we are talking about, and it could change every two years. We could just as easily have the rules change to only vote by mail and back and forth etc...etc... The filibuster gives our republic stability that it desperately needs in these times of great political divisiveness. It does not matter what your personal political leanings are, we all depend on this rule to keep majorities from being tyrannical. I am not sure if it is hyperbolic to say that without this threshold, a true civil war could be imminent. All of us are never going to see things the same way. We all have different experiences and backgrounds that formed our views, but it is imperative that we find a livable middle ground. An Illinois farmer has different needs from the Federal Government than a real estate magnate in New York or Los Angeles. Are ones needs different, yes, but are eithers needs less? No! The majority of our country resides in urban America, but should our government only serve the majority at the expense of the people who live in the middle of the US? For so long compromising and getting to 60% is what has made the melting pot experiment work. We generally believe that the majority should have the most say and should have the heavier hand when making rules, but our Bill of Rights and this Senate rule have made sure that we do not disregard or decimate the minority opinion. It frightens me just how close we are to fundamentally and forever changing the way the Senate and by extension our entire Federal Government, has worked. For those who think that the Democrats who support the rule change are right because the legislation they champion is so important that it needs to be passed at all costs, need to look out just a little ahead. There is a fair chance that the shoe will be on the other foot come January 2023. If that happens then there will be retribution and that isn't good for any of us. Thank you Senators Manchin and Sinema for making a stand for all of us, even if we cannot all see it. I hope that there are Republicans equally up to the task to standing up when the time comes, and it surely will.

Joe Manchin, I admire your wisdom, integrity, grit, and your honesty. Just wish those traits were a lot more prevalent in your party. My dad and grandfather were both Dems, back when they were the party of the working man. Now, I'm not sure I even recognize the bizarre Dem agenda. There is NOTHING in it I can get behind. You and Sen. Sinema have saved this country from a WHOLE lot of bad policy. Thank you.
The problem I see is that the leftists have taken over the Democratic Party. Luckily not all. The true leftists want power more than anything. The great reset is being promoted across the world and to make it happen they need to be in power. PLEASE GOD HELP US SAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We are being divided more and more every day. From our children, our family and our political, cultural and even gender values.
If more politicians in both parties acted and thought like Senator Manchin, the majority of our nation's problems would be resolved once and for all. Thank you Senator Manchin for being a fair, honest, and true American patriot.

The interests of most (the middle class) of American people are never represented. The political parties represent the elites. You and I are not in the big club.

That was the most balanced speech of a politician in the past 2 years.

What I'd like to know is...what's wrong with One Person One Vote? That's all conservatives want. Every citizen guaranteed one -- and only one -- vote. How is that a threat to Democracy? Please explain.
@@MrPLC999 Liberals want to control states, cities and counties elections from DC. They want to control us, no matter what!
he just said he's going to vote FOR the federal takeover of our elections and called Jan, 6th an insurrection....
Amen same here! I'm republican and I have the highest respect for him, more so than some Republicans. God bless him!
The only America loving Democrat in the whole group
Very disturbing. We HAVE TO GET NEW PEOPLE WHO ARE FOR AMERICA IN OUR GOVERNMENT. So damn sick of these over paid bureaucrats making rules& writing our laws that the politicians don't read but vote on. This old system has to be removed, most of the people in it today. No more UN pricks paying off our Americans .
@@tracerc4576 its probably to late for the Democratic party look at how many guns are being sold and who's buying them up heck the Republicans might get the boot to
This man is absolutely cut from the cloth of our founding fathers...God bless his sole and leadership in these trying days. Now this what I call character at it's best!!!
I'm 100 percent in agreement with you Mr. Webb.
Not even close. He's a DINO. Fully paid for by the coal industry. It's not honorable or insightful to maintain the STATUS QUO when the Senate is clearly BROKEN.
@@anneguetschow3932 ...the Senate is broken...but it's not broken because of people like Manchin. Did you even listen to what he said? His reasoning? One side wants to end the filibuster so they can ram through everything they want...Manchin wants to keep the filibuster because it insures that compromise must be met in order to pass legislation that appeals to the broad majority...not just one half or the other. If you can't see that...then you're the wrong person to be admonishing it.
@@anneguetschow3932 go read the constitution you goofball. You would never say something so ignorant if you did.
@@KingNicotine You are exactly right.
Joe Manchin is a true Democrat. His for the people, for the constitution !
What democrat party are you referring to? They hate him and Sinema now as much as orange hitler.
@@stevensgarage6451 sorry but Nazis were on the socialist left. Three scientists also got together and had a faked paper containing 300 pages of mein kaumpt accepted and highly praised by a big feminist publication. Trump never tried to remove checks and balances from the executive branch but suddenly the democrats oppose the filibuster and talk about packing the court basically giving Joe the power of a dictator. There is your nazicomm right there
This should be required watching in every history class in high school and college.
Every political science class, even every business class. Well done
Yes, well done. Keep invading other countries. Keep not investing in our infrastructure at home. Keep not giving Americans health care, even in a pandemic. Keep draining the wealth of the middle class and funneling to the top so billionaires can make more billions. Yes, sir, well done. Well done.
Yes. How to sell out your party because the coal industry is your sugar daddy. You Republicans really have NO MORALS, NO ETHICS, AND NO COMMON SENSE. You prove that continuously by supporting a party that has NO PLATFORM and is wholly owned by a seditionist POS. How far you have fallen. Nothing conservative about the Republican obstructionist party. Fortunately, you can't stop progress.
There are only a handful of honest democrats. He is one.
Him being and acting like a true Republican, keeping oil and coal interests for the decisions that he makes....HONEST?
if you only have 2 fingers.
Don’t be fooled, he’s the Ted Cruz of the Dems. At least he’s representing the will of the West Virginian electorate
@@GerrybombS fake news
All he doing is keeping the rich rich and the poor poor
Eligible Voters are the key words, being a citizen and having ID to vote in an election. If our 18 year olds can fight wars they can get ID and vote🇺🇸
Amen!
Especially since we're letting them through willy-nilly at the southern border!!🙈
There are a hundred million people in the US who can’t vote... under age, illegally here, legally here but not a citizen, mentally incapacitated, and in some cases felons... ID is critical to stop election fraud.
I become USA citizens 45 years ago.and today i explain and a born American what i need to do in order to be a citizens.i. go to school to learn the constitution.and my teacher say when you Ben a citizens your paper is the most important .that is your right to vote.whit that you have the responsibility to have and ID for the rest of your life in this country.and now i have this question? is that was in the constitution what is the problem?.i came to this country from where don't have rule .and people kill each other for political gain.i never thought America goin be this way.and and other sing i learn when i became and American was liberty and freedom don't came for free.yuo need to work for it.and for that you need to have and ID.that is the problem?

What a level headed man, why are there more people like him in politics both in the USA and the rest of the world?
🤡🤡💩
Gosh, a Democrat with common sense and decency, a rare breed, he's saving the country singlehandedly, I have more respect for this man than some of the RINOS, take a bow Mr Manchin.
Amen me to
Mr I block everything? He talks about changing things but he a big reason there is nothing being passed in congress. 40+ years in politics and he apart of this group that passes nothing and just talks about reelection. Corruption at it's best.
A freaking Men. He's always been this way and if he ran for president he would probably win. I don't want to even think about that but if he brought that thinking things would improve across the board-for everyone.
@@pipz420 good. The bullshit being shoved by the fascist left needs to be blocked. You would make the Nazi's proud.
Well surely, if there is one there are many. Just not "too" many.
It's nice seeing a government official actually acting like a adult with genuine respect for his colleagues and the citizens. I don't agree with federal run elections, but at least he brings back a glimpse of what America once was, and that's the respect for others views and thoughts while treating them civilized. That's the America I miss, and haven't seen in a good while.
I like your name LOL ... You don't happen to be a fan of United spot or anything are you LOL good night peasants
And his Fellow Socialist Democrats treat him and Sinema like SHIT! They should leave the Democrat Party like I have! I will NEVER go back!

Great Speech and I’m on the right 😂🇺🇸👍. Great Dem !👍. Did I say that?
So much respect for this guy, WV is lucky to have him!
🤡
This is a man with integrity and tremendous courage. A leader others should emulate.
Fully agree. I sit in the middle and stay out of the loop most of the time but I find that nobody is of the statue that manchin is at. He is true and reasonable.
At this point in this clown car of an administration, the less they do, the better the country will be.
SATGUY,
WELL SAID!!
Truth
Everyone wondered what would replace Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey Circus when they went out of business. Watch Congress you will find out. It is a true 3 ring circus !! With 2 ring masters. Nasty Nancy Pelosi House Speaker & Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer. Bring on the Clowns.😳😳
I have to agree. If I have a choice between legislative deadlock or the Biden Admin doing whatever it wants, I'll take the former every time.
It is a rare thing to observe that a man of principle is a member of the Democratic party. A party that seem to disregard a person's right to abide by his conscience, unless for the part's sake it's an act of expediency.
Thank you Senator Manchin. You are on the side of the people
The man has an eloquent way of speaking and he knows his stuff what an amazing refreshing speech we definitely got to hear about how the Senate plays their games and I'm glad that she's aware of it and he's not unlike those who want to listen. You made his point he's right
After hearing Manchin' speech I have more respect for his intelligence & high moral that every politician should think before making any decisions that affects we, the people
Takes one ignorant statement for me to not listen to someone
Takes one intellectual speech for me to understand that there are some of all kinds everywhere
We all would be much better off together , sounds cheesy but it’s a simple fix
We will be watching to see how each individual votes on this. We will be watching to keep track of who tries to break the function of the senate. We will be taking names.
Watch Mitch M!
AMEN!!!!
That list will be a list of c*nts.
Yes watch Mitch !!
@@carolynflannery9717 Yeah I seriously cant stand that sob, all he cares about is shoveling millions of tax dollars in his pockets while he denies help to the country
Why are Senators like Manchin so scarce? We need many more like him.

@@anneguetschow3932 Joe Manchin is not a heretical democrat like the rest of them. Joe Manchin and Sinema are true patriots.
The only sane democrat in Washington who actually is a public servant. God bless him and give him strength to carry out the duties of his office with integrity.
LOL I think he is a Republican, hopefully he will lose re election,
We need more politicians like Joe Manchin. He always tries to do the right thing. He cares about this country and the citizens of this country.
I can't believe I actually respect a democrat.
@@jasonmacomber4020 Never thought I would either. The world has truly gone insane.
#putz
you did hear him say he supports a bill that solves a nonexistant problem
Now I am no fan of the Democrats anymore. But this guy is the old style Democrat that actually cares about America and it is truly nice to see. He is not far left he is logical and actually has a grip on reality. Thank goodness there are some normal Democrats left
He's a dying "Breed" of Politician.. On Both sides. IF ONLY We could get more like "mannered" Men/Women into Government.. May God bless You n Everyone in the Nation, GoodSir.
Just shows how few Democrats actually have principles that Manchin is a loner here. For them a principle is something that exists only if it's advantageous politically.
Sinema, I think, is with him.
Thank God for Joe Manchin 🙌🙏👏💙❤😍🙌🙏👏💙
@@danstory4286 Yes, her and Manchin shot the bill down.
Applies to any politician, not just Democrats.
That applies to most politicians, regardless of which side they supposedly have picked.
He literally has to talk to 80% of people in his party and say to himself what happened to the integrity in this party
Manshin, a man with dignity and pure American blood who does not wish to see the great nation divided for political gains by any party or individual. USA need more of Manshin.
Yes we sure do!!
That's hilarious 😂 His daughter is a pharmaceutical industry lobbyist, he's from a wealthy family, has a yacht and drives a Maserati. Has ownership in 5 coal related companies and recieves tens of millions in donations from fossil fuel corporations. He's doing this at their bidding, since otherwise their interests would be damaged. Both he and Sinema are transparently corrupt.
he just said he's going to vote FOR the federal takeover of our elections and called Jan, 6th an insurrection....
Senator Joe Manchin, the only adult and the only voice of reason in the entire Democrat Party. How refreshing! This is what our government once was, and should be again. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌈🌈🌈
Joe Manchin the Repubs' bought and sold saboteur of the Demo's agenda. But since Trump took over the party the sleazier the better.
Gay
Right on the money! Huge irony that Manchin’s adult behavior is labeled negatively by the very party that introduced the filibuster….smh. Idiots
he just said he's going to vote FOR the federal takeover of our elections and called Jan, 6th an insurrection....
Cheney and Kissinger, the only sane voices in repugnant Republican party.
Sure is nice to see one lawmaker acting like there are some things that should not be changed just because it’s inconvenient.
This is a speech that should be remembered. He’s so spot on.
If it weren't for this guy , there wouldn't be any hope for the democrats in the far future
Wouldn't be any hope for the country
Democrats are going extinct. There is no coming back from where they are going.
There would not be any hope for us - Americans. Christ - the WH Regime probably already would have tossed out the constitution and be confiscating guns from private Americans (not the criminals though- they have rights).
And that would be a BAD thing ???
There hasn’t been a principled, US loving Democrat since Kennedy !!
@@wnchstrman YUP..THEIR hailmary
Isn't it odd how the Democrat Party has chased anyone out of the party who is moderate and reasonable?
It's the big money, china who's kicking out members
Do you think the same about kinzinger, Cheney and others on the Republican side?
Reasonable? Are you kidding me ? Manchin & Sinema are totally unreasonable. 🙄
isnt it odd how the republican party supports and encourages treasonous behavior, while the ones who stand for democracy (cheny kinsinger) are ostracized for telling the truth?
Like how trump attacks anyone who's not bowing before him as a golden calf you mean?
I am no longer a Democrat because the democrats said one thing and then their actions where the opposite and I didn't leave the party they chose to listen to extremist and they left me. Manchin is a man that can lead and run the nation and he is competent and honest and just a good person which is exactly what we don't have in politics and need in America right now. I am so glad somebody has some honesty and morals and doesn't change those morals just for money or power. If more democrats were like him I would still be a Democrat and that's a fact Jack. How many times are Americans going to listen to the Democrat media and politicians lif the politicians lie to our face over and over before they start making some changes with their voting?
I jumped ship as well. My family has turned on me and have called me a racist… I am not a racist I never have been but my own family members will use that language to shut me up and dismiss me. Sad an weak.
Me too
Im a republican a Hispanic I will voted this guy
You think the Republicans are any better? The same party that wants to eliminate the minimum wage so it’s legal for companies to pay their employees the wages they pay in China, you really want to join the party that wants to take away Medicare and social security from our seniors, you really want to join the party that wants to take away Medicaid from the poor, you really want to join the party that wants to take away public education away from people that can’t afford anything else. Don’t succumb to the dark side dude.
@@ReviewTechTexas and do you really believe any of what you’re saying? Because not a single bit of it is true...
Wanting to reform unsustainable programs is not the same as wanting to eliminate them.
Good speech. It’s a damn shame most of our “representatives” have totally pissed on “We the people”. They don’t give a crap what we want. They only work for themselves for power & money. We NEED term limits!! We need people who give a damn about us and our beautiful country.
A true American not a partisan man but just an American who wants to serve his people thank you Joe Manchin.
he just said he's going to vote FOR the federal takeover of our elections and called Jan, 6th an insurrection....
Are you high?
Sad thos is what the Democrat Party use to be. Then it was taken over.

@@rhondasmith8838 6:35 and 14:45
Reality is, the people aren't screaming for this filibuster removal and the associated voting bills. It's a Democrat idea that is instead filtering down to the people.
It’s not an idea from the heart of a patriotic American rather from our domestic or foreign enemies!
Typical top down authoritarianism
You mean vote rigging bill. The leftist Propagandist aren't trying to pass a voting rights bill that was done in 1965 and they opposed it.

He is the hateful position.
For a minute I thought I was back in 70's or 80's, the last time I recall Dems and Repubs being civil to one another. Manchin is correct on every point and he helped us dodge a bullet. I view my general political beliefs as right leaning, though I have some liberal social views as well. I have voted for both parties for President. I suspect I will continue to. The filibuster is so important as it keeps wild swings in government policy. If conservatives were to vote by simple majority to outlaw early voting or totally eliminate vote by mail, the Progressives would explode, but it is just this kind of crazy we are talking about, and it could change every two years. We could just as easily have the rules change to only vote by mail and back and forth etc...etc... The filibuster gives our republic stability that it desperately needs in these times of great political divisiveness. It does not matter what your personal political leanings are, we all depend on this rule to keep majorities from being tyrannical. I am not sure if it is hyperbolic to say that without this threshold, a true civil war could be imminent. All of us are never going to see things the same way. We all have different experiences and backgrounds that formed our views, but it is imperative that we find a livable middle ground. An Illinois farmer has different needs from the Federal Government than a real estate magnate in New York or Los Angeles. Are ones needs different, yes, but are eithers needs less? No! The majority of our country resides in urban America, but should our government only serve the majority at the expense of the people who live in the middle of the US? For so long compromising and getting to 60% is what has made the melting pot experiment work. We generally believe that the majority should have the most say and should have the heavier hand when making rules, but our Bill of Rights and this Senate rule have made sure that we do not disregard or decimate the minority opinion. It frightens me just how close we are to fundamentally and forever changing the way the Senate and by extension our entire Federal Government, has worked. For those who think that the Democrats who support the rule change are right because the legislation they champion is so important that it needs to be passed at all costs, need to look out just a little ahead. There is a fair chance that the shoe will be on the other foot come January 2023. If that happens then there will be retribution and that isn't good for any of us. Thank you Senators Manchin and Sinema for making a stand for all of us, even if we cannot all see it. I hope that there are Republicans equally up to the task to standing up when the time comes, and it surely will.
