delivery of the first social security check in 1940 to the first social security recipient, ida mae fuller. social security checks have never been a day late or a dollar short. not once, but elon musk's illegal specialty when he takes over agencies of the federal government is to stop payments. and so the 71 million people who receive social security payments every month for the first time in history can no longer be sure if the next payment is coming. michelle king was the acting commissioner of social security until either yesterday or today. rumors started reaching me early this afternoon from people with expert knowledge of the workings of social security that the musk coo at social security was underway. there is a line of succession for acting commissioners of social security. when a commissioner of social security leaves office before a new commissioner has been confirmed by the senate, then the deputy commissioner shall be the acting commissioner according to that written line of succession. and that is exactly how michelle king, who has been with the social security adminis

i will talk about social capital , as bill suggested. very quickly, what is social capital? ask 100 people, you'll get 100 different definitions. social capital has two words in it. you start with capital. something that is productive for people. financial capital, human capital, physical capital. social capital is productive for people however they defined their goals in life. the other word is social, so our relationships to people, also our relationship to social institutions, as well. in the social capital project that i ran a few years back, we documented 50-year trends in social capital over a variety of indicators, not unlike this project for social capital, trends in the united states. the story there is one of almost across declines in social capital. that ranges from the strength of families, marriage rates, fertility rates, the number of kids growing up with single parents, adult kids live near their own parents. you name it. you can look at things like religious participation and observance. that is down over 50 years a lot. you can look at things like participat

i -- the best way that social capital data has been cut has been broadly by social class. i would recommend charles murray's book coming apart, which is very good on this stuff. i can't think of anything that's looked at urban, rural, suburban. >> i'd like to take us out with a question seeing no more from the floor. and this goes to another public concern, which is also a concern of this project. namely, belief in democracy. pretty big topic, it's on everybody's mind and let me just read you from the report. what do the data show, congratulations on seeing data as a plural, by the way. [laughter] >> an out source of literacy. >> there was a long debate with the copy editor on this. >> i'm glad you won. what do the data show. support for democracy has been on decline while support for other forms of government has been on the rise. those other forms of government including, you know, had a strong leader without congress, expert decision makers and army rule, all of those have been on the increase, pretty steep increase. >> in the u.s. >> in the u.s., right. you know, yeah,

in order is social. this is about our relationships, our relationships with people but also our relationships to social institutions as well. so, in the social capital project that i ran a few years back, we documented 50-year trends in social capital over a variety of indicators and not unlike this project of social capital and friends in the united states. the story there is one across the board that declines in social capital ranges from strengths of families, marriage rates, fertility rates and number of kids growing up with single parents whether adults, kids live near their own parents - you name it. you can look at religious participation and observance, that's down over 50 years is a lot. you can look at things like participating in civic organizations - that's down overtime. trust in institutions certainly is down - for almost all institutions all the time. there are measures like spending time after work with your colleagues, socially. those are down overtime and doing things with neighbors is

so i would love to see that to just only those that have power over me, your social, social, academic power. me sometimes is people that look like me and, and share rooms with me and back to what she was saying about it minimizes the actual harm being done when you have someone with your boss who's a rich white man doing a salute. if you had a note that is undoubtedly anti semitic, we all know the roots in that which, which it has uh, which it has denied for the sake of this conversation. the one was denied doing this. and that's what i think one of the things that is also fascinating about this conversation. and i want to put this to 2nd tell is the idea that perhaps many people are waking up to the fact that um, social media is essentially not the level playing field that we all think it is that we don't get the same chances in the same space is in the same voice is um, at least we don't count as much as some other people do our voices at least don't i think you're absolutely right. and i think also what christina said is absolutely right that within our communities, and i think i'm

of the economic and social ladder. so having a great deal of inequality, especially as we have seen here in the united states, is not that big of a deal because of the fact we still believe in this idea of mobility. so you havell really broad rangs of inequality. people can move up and down the ladder at will. and so starting position is not that important. our data and research i would put forwardul would say that's just a myth. the idea of mobility as it relates inequality should make this more troubling. it should actually be more concerned about the trends we are seeing and inequality. especially if there is no associated mobility that goes along with it. and so we keep pushing the narrative about inequality in this land ofne plenty and we hae in terms of the lexicon that says only in america or in american success story. yet there is not that association movement up and down thee ladder. what you end up having as thesee permanent levels of stratification. tipeople are stre income distribution, calcified, and there

a crisis of social reproduction or of care in a family life. a crisis of a racial of oppression and injustice and imperial oppression. a crisis of democracy, a crisis of ecology. these are all happening at the same time and that's what makes it a general crisis. and then the next question is, are they separate? or are they all interconnected and traceable to one in the same social system? and i believe that that 2nd view is the correct view. there is one social system that is very deeply irrational and perverse in many ways. and that is generating non accidental way for systemic reasons. and ecological crisis at the same time is a financial crisis, a crisis of livelihood, a crisis of political role and geo political had gemini. this is a very dangerous moment. crises like these are quite rare historically. they don't come along every day. we may have had 3 or 4 in the modern history of capitalism, by the way, but i just gave it away from capital. and i was going to say this because i'm going to do the drum roll is going to say wouldn't be too s

maria: no wonder the social security fund is expected to go insolvent, they're talking about social securitynt going insolvent in 2033. what is this mean for you and your colleagues looking to cut expenses to come up with the offset to execute president trump's agenda 76% of the spending a government goes to mandatory programs now questioning what's mandatory are you going to be cutting into the mandatory spending to come up with offsets any reconciliation package where it is that stan? >> if it includes waste fraud and abuse, yes we will be whether mandatory or discretionary. it doesn't matter. if it's waste fraud and abuse we will get rid of it that's what we are after. we want to make sure we can cut as much as we can and we are depending on doge. >> what is reconciliation package stan because the word is out that you're having a lot of disagreements with certain people in the party you basically say on the one hand my priority is lifting the salt cap and the other hand people's priorities are cutting out spending how are you squaring the circle? >> your exactly right we have a number of

definitivamente todas las redes sociales tienen sus riesgos, pero digamos que las redes sociales quenapchat. la otra es tiktok y por ejemplo, también hay plataformas de juegos como roblox. expertos también resaltan la importancia de una buena comunicación entre padre e hijo. nunca es tararde para desarrollar esa confianza afectiva emocional, porque todos en el fondo de nuestro corazón tenemos la habilidad de expresarlo. entonces le enseñamos a los niños ese lenguaje. los 4 acusados son owen michael dombrowski, de 26 años. nassor gaviria, de 24 años. melvin rodríguez de la fuente de 27 años, y josé luis ruiz magallón, de 38 años. bueno, césar, todos los sospechosos fueron acusados de los delitos graves de contactar a un menor de edad con fines lascivos. así que estamos hablando de algo. temas muy serios. menores de edad? claro que sí. oye, jessica, tú tuviste la oportunidad de hablar con estos expertos, pero qué recomiendan ellos para evitar, por ejemplo, esos peligros que están latentes en las redes sociales? así es. pues mire, básicamente lo que decía la vocera de common sense, más

security, who are on social security. >> oh, i think we should all be anybody who depends on social security. and there are many i mean, half of all seniors living alone depend entirely on social security. so these these guys or men and women from, from from doge, i think they have no idea of how fragile this agency is. i mean, social security today serves more customers, active beneficiaries than ever because the baby boomers like me now being in the ranks of the retired. and yet because of house republican cuts, they are doing so with staffing that's already been reduced to a 50 year low. so the biggest threat to social security right now is that the co president, elon musk and donald trump, drive 10,000 people out of the agency. and those benefit checks get interrupted. that's the greatest threat to social security. now the other stuff they spew out there about zombies getting checks and 200 million dead americans getting checks, all total horse hockey. not true. but what is true is that they can crater this agency. they can do it very quickly, and they have likely no idea how fr

but social media is, is what we have right now and it's, it's democratic. everybody has access to it and there's a lot of content creators of people who are making contact because because they try, i think the creative sector is one of the biggest employers of young people because we are, you know, we, they had to go for a minute they are young and they, i'm not the time when you do this. and so i think it's a fantastic opportunity. but i just want to say something about ann marie marie has, has a over 8000000 views. people 8000000 people that are more than some of the largest traditional media. absolutely in the world. mm hm. so she's powerful and we can't underestimate that. so i think social media has a big part to play, but it doesn't absolve traditional media because global decision makers, the people who have the money, the people who make the investment, then not watching marine and the key that the financial times they're looking onto there. they're looking at cnn and we know because we need to watch the global media index. we know the outlet still

now in the white house from says, social security is ripe with waste. there are over 4700000 social security numbers for people is from 100 years old to 109. think of that. now over a 100, there aren't a lot of people that make it seem almost who's been passed by trump to slash government spending posted on x, the 10s of millions of people over age, 100 are receiving social security benefits and even one person over age 360 now social security is new acting commissioner, who was just promoted by trump says most claim is false. experts say the billionaire and the president are confusing the numbers. one of the problems of trying to understand these complex government programs is that there is a lot of data. it's not usually clearly labeled and what it is, it's easy to jump to conclusions if you have just like a partial understanding of what's going on. last july, the social security administration's inspector general report of the agency had given out $72000000000.00 in improper payments over an 8 year stretch, but noted that's less than one percent of t

one mistake and people's social security benefits could freeze. disability payments, aid to veterans, loans to small businesses, they could all be endangered. the treasury department is already using extraordinary measures to ensure we do not default on the debt. if doge's careless meddling caused us to default, it could trigger a worldwide financial crisis. this all begs an obvious question. what does doge really want with this data? what possible reason is there to give right-wing extremists people's social security payments, medicare payments, and personal information? will doge try to halt social security or medicare or medicaid payments? god forbid, god forbid. will doge cut funding to programs approved by congress that donald trump decides he doesn't like? what about cancer research, food banks, school lunches, veterans aid, literacy programs, small business loans? how do we know doge won't use its access to the treasury to enrich donald trump's billionaire friends? what if they go after business competition of doge's leadership? it is laugh

but i should be clear social security cannot run out of money.d on the contributions of taxes of the american worker. it will always have money coming into the program. it is a question of whether the money is enough to cover promised benefits. if congress does not act by the time the social security trust fund is depleted, there will be a benefit cut of around 20% on all current and future beneficiaries. the program itself never runs out of money. scarlet: that is an important station to make. it is easy to say it is just going to run out of money. surveys show people do not want to give up their benefits. they would rather pay higher taxes think about any of their benefits. >> it is hard to believe for a lot of people. if you stopped somebody on the street and said, would you pay higher taxes, they look at you like you are crazy. but if you tell someone your social security benefits are on the line, do you want to see them cut or taxes raised, it is taxes every time. this was a study with the chamber of commerce and aarp and they put it to amer

social media is the password. it's actually the tool that we can control. and i think it is the thing that we defining advocates a certain extent because traditional media to what you tell us thing is still a little bit it's, it's the step behind. but social media is, is what we have right now. and it's, it's democratic. everybody has access to it and there's a lot of content create his own people with making contact because because they try, i think the creative sector is one of the biggest employers of young people because we are, you know, we, they had a golf for a minute. they are young and they, i'm not the time when you do this. and so i think it's been tough to community. but i just want to say something about anne marie marie has, has a over 8000000 views. people 8000000 people that are more than some of the largest traditional media, absolutely in the world. so she's powerful and we can't underestimate not to. i think social media has a big part to play, but it don't absolve traditional media because global decision makers, the people who have the
