congressional republicans led by rick scott have a different approach. if you did not write it down you would think i was making it up. i mean it sincerely. rick scott tried to change his words yesterday after he introduced -- he had the reelection of the senators on the republican side. he realized, he said, everybody, no matter what their station, if they are on welfare should pay a tax. everybody should pay a tax. well, here is the truth. one concrete plan i laid out was going to raise taxes on working families an average of $1500 a month. while we have 54 corporations out there, didn't pay any tax the last two years and made $40 billion. they didn't want to tax them. they do not want to tax billionaires that are literally paying a lower tax rate than longshoremen. he had to walk back from his plans on health care. he says, what we have to do now that we finally got the affordable care act functioning and prices down an average of $400 for people, he wants to eliminate it again. by the way, the best thing republicans are pushing now in reelection, the

rick scott tried to change his words yesterday after he introduce this in his campaign. he realized that raising taxes on working families was a problem. everybody should pay a tax, every body. here's the truth, one concrete plan that i worked out. it would raise taxes for working families $1000 a month. while we have corporations that didn't pay tax for the past two years. they don't want to tax them at all. they don't want to tax billionaires. he had to walk back from his plan on health care. he says what we have to do now that we have the affordable care act function eight, he wants to eliminate it again. one of the best things that republicans are pushing now, medicare, social security and medicaid go on the chopping block every five years. at the end of five years, they have to be affirmatively voted back in business. medicare, social security, medicaid. never forget, people paid for their social security. and you know what will happen? what they will do, they will take it apart. they will cut it back. that is the whole objective. it is not right. i disagree. this i

benefits, which brings us to the current republican agenda as set out by national republican, senator rick scott -- can i have 30 more seconds, senator? i will have to give this plan because at least it has a hint of honesty. senator scott's plan would sunset, rick scott is he hates social security and wants to eliminate and he isn't brave enough to say and calls it sunsetting. the republican most honest was donald trump who said that all the republicans want to do a big number on social security. senator sanders: thank you. our next panelist is ms. macguineas and budget, tax and economic policy. ms. macguineas: thank you for inviting me to talk about the importance of making social security solvent. i will touch on three things that are more in depth than my written testimony and social security's financial condition, the cost of waiting to physical the program and some of the objectives for reform. first, as we have already talked about, the most trustees' report that social security is headed towards insolvency. that is not news. we have known this for more than 30 years and yet in that time

by the way, then governor rick scott, now senator rick scott who hopefully will be supportive of thet this -- they could do -- they could help save lives. this is what people want. that's the take-away from florida. no matter where you are in the country, except until now under the dome of the u.s. capitol, everybody, the vast majority of people, want this action taken. so if we can get this across the finish line and the president signs it into law, this represents the first significant piece of gun safety legislation in three decades. it's the first. and then we need to come back, and we need to do more and keep going to do everything we can to keep our kids and our communities safe. >> sure. it's an incremental step as many say. and under this framework, as you are mentioning when it comes to buyers of guns under the age of 21, there's now this investigative period or as you said, a more enhanced background check for those under 21. but if you look at the buffalo shootings, the uvalde shooting as well, both of the gunman were 18 years old. they purchased their guns legally. we don

your reaction to it rick scott is saying here?so many issues with the border is certainly one of them. next i agree with everything you are saying. first of all i think he should be impeached day one we take back congress. he says he's he is the secretary of homeland insecurity this is a left less safe he failed for 16 months straight every month a record-breaking month. it's going to be another record breaking month is 20 over 220,000. he needs to leave he lied in front of congress. this administration is not done a single thing today after 16 months to secure the border every thing is about catch and release bringing more people in process quicker reports say fillings on the gaps on the border while replacing some at the gate. obviously this is not a project this administration was supportive of. they left millions of dollars in materials on route used as well to finish the wall. some are wondering if this is a political stunt ahead of the midterms? >> absolutely. there is an election coming that is the only reason. again they a

my republican friends but like rick scott have a different approach. he wants to raise taxes on working families by an average of 1500 dollars a year. and put medicare and social security -- medicaid -- excuse me social security and medicaid on the chopping block every five years. in five years they are no longer going to exist in less they vote them back into existence. i disagree with that. what in gods name are they doing? i don't work with anyone that has real so -- real solutions to save the american people, not take money out of their pockets. now, there are other goal that i'd like to address that has impacts on inflation is to lower the deficit. the reason this matters to families is because reducing the deficit is another way to ease inflation. friends and republicans would like to paint me as the big spender. let's look at the facts, ask matter. under my predecessor, -- exploded rising every single year in office. under my plan, we are on traffic -- track to cut the federal deficit this year by 1.7 trillion dollars. this year by $1.7 trillion

is running away from governor rick scott is concerning to me because governor rick scott led on this issue. i've spent many days, many hours on the phone with governor rick scott when he was down here leading. he led this fight, but he won't do it for the country, and so i hope my friend chris murphy can get through to them, but unless they can deliver on bare minimum things like background checks, extreme risk protection, that's not going to save lives. if they want to deliver a mental health plan for the country, that's a good thing. let's do that. i'm okay with that, but don't call it a gun safety bill. >> yeah, it's almost like a long overdue thing that republicans usually aren't for to begin with. i want to play some more of matthew mcconaughey for you, matt dowd. this is him speaking in language that i'm very familiar with you speaking in about our values. >> we need to restore our family values. we need to restore our american values, and we need responsible gun ownership. responsible gun ownership. we need background checks. we need to raise the minimum age to purchase an ar-

rick scott signed these into law when he was governor.ublicans in the legislature, in this, you know, very pro-gun state, they were on board, and why not just make republicans vote for that? >> as i mentioned before, we are broadly trying to figure out what has 60 votes. the template for florida is the right one. which is do significant mental health investment, school safety money, and some modest, but impactful changes in gun laws. that's the kind of package we're putting together right now. that's the kind of package i think can pass the senate. >> i would say florida did raise the age to purchase a semi-automatic rifle from 18 to 21. it doesn't sound like that's going to be in the package you're talking about. >> right now we're trying to discover what can get to 60 votes. i will say this, as senator cornyn has said, there is interest in taking a look at that age range, 18 to 21, and doing what is necessary to make sure that we aren't giving a weapon to anybody that has during their younger years a mental health history, a juvenile re

rick scott won't talk this way anymore, but in the wake of parkland, he was actually willing to listen to the masses of families, a lot of whom probably don't even vote every time, but who have seen what happened at parkland and said, no, this is unacceptable. i think he felt and you can see in what florida actually did, that that feeling became policy. but it hasn't gotten as far as the united states senate, partly because senators are afraid of re-election fights, partly because all the republicans want to be senate and want to be president already. i think the more terms this happens, the more it is completely politically unacceptable to be seen doing nothing, which is why i think democrats are starting to say, look, we'll take what you'll give us. but, like, we've got to do something. we've got to show you that there isn't a political price to pay for doing something on this issue. >> you mentioned people like rick scott. not only was he not vilified for it. he became a senator after being the governor of florida. it was not a penalty. are people being -- is there an olive branch o
