Joe Manchin addresses why he supports the Inflation Reduction Act

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin III broke with much of his
party on Tuesday to declare Vice President Kamala Harris' statement that
the Mexican border is secure to be "dead wrong."

Harris told NBC over the weekend that "the border is secure" and that
such security is a priority of hers and President Biden's.

In a follow-up comment, Harris appeared to blame Donald Trump for any
"deterioration" along the border, and then called for a "pathway to
citizenship" for those who illegally entered the United States.

Manchin called out the vice president during a Fox News interview, in
which he was asked by anchor Bret Baier whether Harris' "secure"
statement was correct.

USHERS IN MORE INFLATION

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., has criticized Democrats' climate change policies.

"It's wrong. She's dead wrong on that," Manchin said.

"And I have said this: If we don't secure – I voted every time for the
wall, but we need the wall a lot more technology, more agents."

Manchin said the 2013 "Gang of Eight" immigration bill – authors of
which included then-Sens. John McCain and Jeffrey Flake, R-Ariz., and
Sens. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. – was the
best opportunity thus far to secure the border.

"We couldn't get it passed through the Republican House at that time
because of some politics involved there," he said, criticizing
protestations from some conservatives at the time that the bill amounted
to "amnesty."

"That piece of legislation would have corrected everything we have going
wrong," he said.

"But for … the vice president, or anybody [to] say our borders are
secured, that is not accurate -- I've been there. It's wrong."

In terms of Biden's inflation reduction "celebration" at the White
House, on the day inflation figures increased and the DJIA tanked,
Manchin defended the Inflation Reduction Act as a responsibly-forged
agreement that in one aspect will allow for the opportunity of increased
domestic energy production, against the will of the progressive wing of
his party.

"The Inflation Reduction Act is something my staff and I worked
extremely hard on to make sure it was balanced. The most important thing
we want to do is what our Republicans; my friends; [have] always talked
about: produce more energy," he said.

"This bill will produce more energy. We'll drill more oil, will produce
more oil, produce more natural gas."

In response, anchor Bret Baier noted that the act is still "not reducing
inflation" despite its title.

Manchin countered that, citing the energy piece, if more product was to
enter the market through increased production, it could at the least
reduce inflation in the U.S. energy sector.

"On top of that, we have the Medicare reduction – as far as putting that
and being able to negotiate, [like] in my state [where] 300,000 people
on Medicare are going to see reduction of their drug prices."

As far as the upcoming continuing-resolution government funding bill,
Manchin said he is already resigned to the proposition that left-wing
members of his caucus like Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont will not
support it if it includes a reported fossil-fuel-energy aspect.

In that case, he expressed hope that a dozen Republicans could join him
and the less progressive Democrats to pass the resolution.

"Don't you think there will be at least 15 or more of Republicans who
have always wanted; knowing that we can't run this country when it takes
us ten years to build something and other countries around the world are
doing it in two?" he asked.
