>> matches wells. pass my proposal for the billionaire minimum tax. you know. there's 1000 billionaires americans up from about 600 to begin to turn. but no billionaire should be paying a lower tax rate than the school teacher. a firefighter. asking about that. but think about it. think about it. have you noticed just reported its profits, record profits. last year they made to 100 billion dollars in the midst of a global energy crisis. i think is outrageous. they invested
6:39 pm
too little of that profit, increased domestic production. and when i talked to a couple we're afraid they're going to shut down all the all oil refiners anyway. so why should we invest in them? actually, we're going to need oil for at least another decade. and c. production. if they had, in fact invested in the production to keep gas prices down. instead, the use of record profits to buy back their own stock rewarding ceos and shareholders. corporations ought to do the right thing. that's why i propose we quadruple attacks on corporate stock buybacks and encourage long. >> finish the job closing loophole that allowed very wealthy to avoid paying their taxes instead of cutting the

6:41 pm
debt. they did the right thing to the debt ceiling 3 times without preconditions or crisis. thank united states. america will never ever be question. so my some of my republican friends. want to take economy hostage. i get it unless i greeted the wreck. i plants. all of you at home should know what those plans are. instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share. some republicans, some republicans want medicare and social security sunset. i'm not saying i'll give you a copy of the proposal.

6:45 pm
they're just taking advantage of the tax code to take advantage the american consumer. here's my message to all of you out there. i have your back. we're already prevented. americans are receiving surprise medical bills, stopping 1 billion dollars surprise bills per month. so far. tracking down a nursing homes that commit fraud and danger, patient safety prescribe drugs that are not needed. manager americans can now save thousands of dollars because i can finally get a over the counter without a prescription. it's extortion. it's exploitation. last year, a have that many of you on foreign shipping companies that making you pay higher
6:46 pm
prices for every good coming into the country. i signed a bipartisan vote cut. shipping costs are 90% helping american farmers, businessman and consumers. let's finish the job. pass the bipartisan legislation strengthen its just to strengthen an interest inforcement for bank and prevent big online platforms giving their own products. i don't care. want is also taking on junk fees. those hidden surcharges to many companies use to make you pay more. for example, making airline show you the full ticket price up front. refund your money if your flight is canceled or delayed, reduced exorbitant bank overdrafts by saving consumers. more than 1 billion dollars a year. i-75 1%. not matter to very well
6:47 pm
that matter. most other folks in homes like the one i grew up in my many of you did. they add up to hundreds of dollars a month. they make it harder for you to pay your bills or for that family trip. i know how unfair it feels when the company overcharged. you get away with that. not anymore. we've written a bill to stop. it called the junk fee prevention act. going to ban surprise resort fees tells charge and honor bill those fees can cost up to $90 a night in hotels that aren't even resorts. the idea. the internet and cell phone companies can charge you 200 or more. >> if you decide to switch to another provider, give me a break. >> we can stop service fees.
6:48 pm
tickets to concerts and sporting events and make companies disclose all fees up front. i will prohibit airlines from charging $50 round trip for a family just to be able to sit together. by these fees are bad enough. airlines can treat your child like a piece of baggage. the jump prefer venture. company stop ripping us off. for too long. workers have been getting stiffed but not anymore. >> we're going begin to restore the dignity of work. for example. i what i should have known this, but i 2 years ago. 30 million workers have to sign a noncompete agreements. the jobs they take 30 million. so a cashier. and a burger place can't walk
6:49 pm
across town and take the same job another burger place make a few bucks more. we just change it. just change. it could be exposed to it. that was part of the deal. guys. look at out. but not anymore. betting those companies have to compete for workers and pay them what they're worth. bound together. response. my friends, i left with the right. i'm so sick and tired of companies breaking the law by preventing workers from organizing. for example, of way. >> let's make sure working parents can afford to raise a family was sick days paid family medical leave.
6:50 pm
>> working much store before child tax credit. which gave 10's of millions of parents, some breathing room. >> cut child poverty in half to the lowest level in history. and by the way, we do all these things. we increased productivity. we increase economic growth. so let's finish the job. get more families, access to affordable quality housing. let's get seniors want to stay in their homes, the care they need to do so. let's get more breathing room to manage a family caregivers looking after their loved ones. past my plan. so we get seniors and people with disabilities and home care services in need. >> we can afford to do that.
6:51 pm
>> restoring the dignity of work means making education and affordable ticket to the middle class. you know, we made public education 12 years of universal in the last century. we made the best educated best-paid. we became the best educated best-paid nation in the world. the rest was caught up. it's caught up. jill, my wife who teaches full-time as an expression. hope get it right, kid. any nation out educates us is going to out compete us and univision out educates can outcompete us, folks. we all know 12 years of education. it's not enough to win the economic competition of 21st century. >> the priest court. studies show that children to go to preschool and have it. >> 50% more likely to finish eyes going go on or a 2 or

6:54 pm
support new vaccines and treatments. so congress needs to fund these efforts to keep america safe. and as we emerge from this crisis. stronger. we're also going to double down on prosecuting criminals who stole relief. money meant to keep workers in school. before i came in office, you remember? during that campaign, the big issue is about inspector general's. who would protect taxpayers dollars to sideline? they were fired. many people said we don't need them. and fraud became rampant. last year. i told you the watchdogs are back since then. since then, we recovered billions of taxpayers dollars. now
6:55 pm
chipotle and fraud strike force going after these criminals double the statue of limitations on his and crack down on identity fraud by criminal syndicates, billions of dollars. >> dollars for american back at least 10 times as much. it matters. it matters. cohen left scars. like the spike in violent crime in 2020. first to the pandemic. we have an obligation to make sure all people are safe. public safety depends on public trust is all of us know. but too often that trust is violated. joining us tonight with the pairs of tyre, nichols. many of you
