our country being strong is what a saving social security. so i'm not touching social security. they are the one that is going to destroy it with his crazy plans, going to destroy everything, not only social security, they're going to destroy health care, from 180 million people. it's going to be like a catastrophe. no, i'm the one that saves social security, and every year, it becomes stronger because our economy is so good, now that the trade deals are kicking in, the growth will be incredible. >> peter: speaking of health care, the coronavirus. how concerned are you, and he will be what china is telling us about how bad it is? >> president trump: what i'm doing is we are dealing with very closely with china. we would make certain announcements over the next 24 hours and 48 hours, and we are in great shape. china is not in great shape, right now, unfortunately, but we are working very hard and we'll see what happens. we are working closely with china and other countries. >> peter: elizabeth warren this week was trying to maybe play some blame with you, saying that one for budg

you want to do social security. can we talk about social security? do social security for everybody. here's the thing on social security. we pass social security back in the mid-1930s. basically, we changed it roughly about 35 times between then and the late 1980s because people live longer, women went to work. different groups were included that had been excluded to begin with. changes. because we change as a country. we would adjust how much you needed in taxes and what the payments were and adjusted for inflation and kept it going. then the republicans decide we're not going to make any changes. what happened is you start to create a deficit over time because you're not building up and locking up your money the way you ought to be doing. that looks little in first year and a little bit bigger in next year and a little bit bigger and a little bit bigger. by the mid 2020s, we're in a place where social security is going to go off a cliff. i don't know about you but most of the people relying on social security are already squeezed hard enough and su

here is the thing on social security. we passed social security back in the mid-1930's. basically, we changed it roughly about 35 times between then and the late 1980's because people live longer, women went to work, different groups were included that had been excluded to begin with. changes. because we change as a country. so, we had to adjust taxes and adjusted for inflation and kept it going. then, in the late 1980's, the republicans basically decided you're not going to make any more changes. think about that. so, what happens is you start to create a deficit over time, because you are not building up and locking up your money the way you should be doing. and that looks little in the first year, but a little bit bigger in the next year and the next year and a little bit bigger and a little bit bigger, until we are now in a place, as you know, that by the mid-2020's, we are in a place where social security is going to go off a cliff. it will not go to zero, but it will drop social security payments if we don't do anything, it will drop roughly by about 25%. same thin

he long promoted social security reform. sanders has been talking about this publicly on media appearances. not on the stump. his aides have been hammering joe biden on twitter and press emails for weeks now. it is really a matter of time till this under the ground feud became public. it did last night in iowa. arthel: we have a statement from the source of the original video, "politifact" on sanders's claim that joe biden lauded cut to social security and medicare. the statement reads, the sanders campaign omit what biden said next, the importance of protecting social security and medicare and to change the tax code which he said benefited the megarich. overall the point of biden's speech was to criticize tax cuts for the rich and call for more help to the middle class. and now, we have a statement from the sanders campaign. they released this yesterday and this reads, quote, joe biden should be honest with voters and stop trying to doctor his own public record of consistently and repeatedly trying to cut social security. t

. >> do you think, though, that it's fair for voters to question your commitment to social security, to it. >> i didn't propose a freeze. look, we're talking about -- >> you did. >> you mean when we went together and decided -- >> cow talk about it in the context of -- you talk about it in the context of balancing the budget. >> the context of we save social security when the reagan administration was about to go under. everybody from teddy kennedy on voted for that. my proposal on social security has been straightforward from the beginning, we have to increase the taxes on people making over $400,000, so they pay the same percentage of their income as you pay if you're making 50,000 or 20,000 or $128,000. >> bloomberg reporter steven dennis said the other day, mcconnell has told me he hopes to work with the next democratic president to trim social security, medicare, medicaid, says you need bipartisan deal to do so. do you think he's talking about you in that context? >> there will be no compromise on cutting medicare or social security. >> no compromise at all, that's a promise. >>

cots to social security. difference on that issue as well. and other issues. is not personal, people have a right to know. >> that saying that i agree with paul ryan, the former vice presidential candidate, but wanting to privatize social security. i have been a gigantic supporter of social security from the beginning. >> we've got a billionaires who think they can just buy an election. he plans to skip the democracy part of the election. >> she's right about that, that's going to resonate. just two weeks until the iowa caucuses on the democrats claws are finally out. bernie sanders and his campaign ramping up attacks on joe biden over race in the former vps openness to the social security cuts. sanders is a distorting his this position. meanwhile warren is also ripping biden about social security. all of this with the top four candidates neck and neck in the first in the nation caucus sta state, biden and sanders in a deadlock on poles. you can see they're not even at percentage point separating them. pete b

>> the second they know i like about social security, you get a check.ond thing is you get a cost of living increase. we've had low inflation so the cost living increase this year for 2020 is 1.6%. if you took it earlier, 1.6% on a small number on $1,500 is about $2,500 more a month. if you delay it until later, and you had a check of 3,000 or $3,900, 1.6 on a bigger number is more cash used to pay bills and things like that. >> putting it off just keeps paying and paying. >> it is hard to do that. you have to stretch because we're you a living longer and longer. >> should you bridge money with your 401(k) money? >> it is a math problem. we advise our clients, spend down the assets which we tell you never to do so you can delay taking your social security. that will be recurring income over the next 10, 20, 30 years for some people. actually a single person over their lifetime, if they have their full retirement benefits, it could be well over $1 million. so for a couple, you just doubled down on that. a couple million. a free cash amount you can count o

we will need legislation like the social security 2100 act and restore solvency to our social security trust funds. and yes, we will need to repeal provisions of the 2017 tax law which are contributing without providing the growth needed to offset it and ensure the wealthy are paying their fair share. i appreciate what professor price said, everything needs to be on the table when addressing this issue when it comes to our deficit. and that includes us, this committee, putting things on the table. it includes this committee having a role to play. and i do believe that this committee can begin by getting back to passing budget resolutions and discussing ways to reform the budget process. i'm hopeful that we in this committee will take a serious look not just at the drivers of the deficit but also explore ways to ensure a fiscally sound policy in the future. now, that being said, director, what do you feel this committee can do to reduce future deficit spending? >> ah, of course i have to start by saying right, we'll support you, we'll give you the analysis, we won't give you the policie

i started social security a couple years ago. one of the biggest insults this country has ever made to me was how much do you want out of your social security check to go to income tax? how can you stop double taxation on social security? it is not deductible in the beginning. it has not been for decades. now, i think, 20 years ago? 30 years ago? maybe ronald reagan did it? i am not sure. but, some president, some congress said, ok, we need to tax social security as your income. this is my own money they are giving back. my honest opinion is, the government and shove it up there ass if they are going to keep it. mr. steyer: let me first talk about term limits and the structure of congress and then talk about social security. in terms of term limits, what would happen is the majority leader and minority leader, the speaker and minority leader, who -- would choose who leads the committees, which happens now, but there would be less seniority. there would be where people -- there would be newark -- newark people running committees a

steyer: let me talk about social security. for 75% of seniors who get social security, it is their number one source of income. for 40% of seniors who get social security, it is their only source of income. i know you have others. but i'm saying this. the idea we do not take the promises of social security incredibly seriously is an insult. we, a great country, lives up to its promises to its people, particularly people who have worked their whole lives and paid into a system. i do not forget what my mother said, because she never said anything like that to me her whole life. toust 2 goodness -- honest goodness. when people talk about social security, i take it as a solemn pledge to people who depend on it and paid into it. that is exactly what my mom said to me, exactly what you said to me, and i agree. >> [inaudible] [laughter] : i do.yer your attitude is my attitude. >> my name is cindy. i am a retired teacher. my question is, when i went to college, i paid $300 a semester to go to school. i worked while i went to school, p

now it looks like social security is in the president's crosshairs as well. even as this trial, even as this important trial continues americans should notice the president is casually talking about cutting their social security and a swift ski resort with a global bend financial elite. now we get the impeachment stuff. to the matter at hand, today was a discussion, tuesday was a discussion over amendment folks but yesterday the managers got to lay out their case uninterrupted as manager after manager stepped up to lay out the evidence amassed against the president imprecise and devastating detail. the atmosphere of the senate took on an entirely different dimension. it may have been the first time many of my republican colleagues heard the full story, complete narrative from start to finish uninterrupted and not filtered through the kaleidoscope lens of fox news. our best things are left out and at worst, things are terribly distorted. it may have planted the first seed in their minds that yes, perhaps the president did something very wrong. mister schiff an

and one of those issues is now social security.'ve been at events with joe biden where he is accusing bernie sanders of twisting the truth about his record. let me play a bit of sound of that. >> it is simply a lie that video that's going around. this is a doctored tape. and i think it's beneath and i'm looking for his campaign to come forward and disown it. but they haven't done it. >> now, what the former vice president is talking about there is the sanders campaign put out a video of joe biden talking about paul ryan and social security out of context. it wasn't doctored, per se, but it was way out of context. because biden was criticizing paul ryan for his stance on social security, not endorsing it. it is now an issue the sanders campaign is trying to put front and center in these closing days. >> yeah. and look, the sanders campaign has been wanting to have this exact debate. and i was actually at that event from that tape you just played there. it was interesting. a voter actually asked him about his stance on social securit

. >> a lot of people have been talking about social security.ator sanders have been hitting you on past comments. i understand there is a video that did not include the entire context. but an issue that is important to black and brown people are more likely to rely on retirement income more so than white people do. fair forink it is voters to question your commitment to social security when in the past you proposed a freeze? mr. biden: i did not propose a freeze. >> in the context of balancing a budget. context of saving social security when the reagan administration was about to go under. on social security has been straightforward from the beginning. we have to increase the taxes on people making over $400,000 so they pay the same percentage of their income as we pay for oring $50,000, $20,000, $120,000. that will make sure it is solvent for the young people and we can raise the amount of money for people living beyond what social security expected them to live. and as well as if they lose a spouse. that is the way to make sure that we can tak

on the issue of social security, time and time again joe biden has been clear in supporting cuts to socialurity. >> i will tell you, this is something they want to have a conversation they want to have for many reasons. number one, remember that spat last weekend between matter in sanders and elizabeth warren? it allows them to move on that and focus their attention on their top rival, jp joe biden. also it helps them attack one of their weak spots, one of the spots that senator sanders is open about needing to improve upon, getting the support of older voters. his coalition is largely made up of younger voters. talking about social security is something they think will help connect with them. >> let's get over to vaughn hillyard. let's complete the triangle. the warren/sanders dust up, where does that stand. >> elizabeth warren is about to take the stage behind me at a forum with the likes of the brady campaign, the naacp and citizened united. essentially, they have 36 left on the campaign trial before the impeach trial on capitol hill. we happened to catch up elizabeth warren a little bi

you want to do something on social security, you do it. and what that means is we'll see you at the next election. it's my disappointment with barack obama is two things that have to be done to save america. from the path that we are headed. entitlement eligibility changes. you have to change the eligibility in a very popular thing like medicare and social security, to the demographics of america tomorrow. not american in the 30s on the 60s, social security in the 30s and medicare's in the 60s, the president knows that. he is a very smart guy. he doesn't want to do it. comprehensive tax reform, it's been 30 years and you need to do it again. it is not for the purpose of getting more revenue for the government is for the purpose of making america more competitive the president want to cover his of tax reform. in any other way other than to try to get additional revenue for the government. so these two big transformative issues, we have been unable to address because the nation news ceo simply doesn't want to do it. lamar alexander: maybe th

rob: 28 minutes after the hour, bernie sanders and joe biden trading jabs on social security. >> thise, this is a doctored tape. >> it was not doctored, it is what it is. rob: how will the campaign and in-party fighting impact the iowa caucuses, we are debating that next. now and forever more. inside these buildings in jerusalem and throughout israel there are many elderly jews who are suffering daily and they need our help now. as christians and jews we know that we have a scriptural mandate to feed the hungry. and here there are thousands in desparate need. 17 years ago, edna was in a horrible terrorist attack. she is still in excruciating pain and she can't even afford her medicine.

i am expecting to draw social security.have to get out of the language -- they call them entitlements. we paid for this. it is not a gift, it is a promise, and it is supposed to last a lifetime. we keep that promise by raising the revenue where we need to, without going to an unreasonable level of taxes, just the common sense to do what we need to do and keep the promises the country made to its people, and if we do that, our budget will be in better shape in our lives will go better because we will be able to count on these programs we paid into. thank you so much. [applause] -- >> kind of a follow-up. you and other candidates have talked about having people that are billionaires and big corporations pay taxes. how would you keep them from sheltering money and places i don't even know about, and of the corporations from moving to other countries where they don't have to pay taxes or wages are cheaper? how will you keep them in the u.s. when we pay -- we charge them more taxes? mr. buttigieg: the u.s. is the best place to d

medicare, social security, never mind the promise he would not cut it. how did we get into this debt? it is not a mysterious cosmic force no one could prevent, it was a giant tax cut on the wealthy. time for us to get on top

and we see it today in policy formation for example in the attack on social security. social security is based on a principle it's based on a principle of solidarity saw terri caring for others. a social security means i pay payroll taxes so that the widow across town can get something to live upon. much of the population that's what they survive and . it's of no use to the very rich so therefore there's a concerted attempt to destroy it. one of the ways is defunding it you want to destroy some system 1st the fund. then it will work people be angry they want something else that's a standard technique for. private eyes exam system. we see it in the attack on public schools and public schools are based on the principle of solidarity. i no longer have children in school they're grown up but the principle of solidarity says i happily pay taxes so that the kid across the street can go to school that's normal human emotion and it drives it out of people's heads i don't have kids in school why should i pay taxes privatized it so on. the public education system all the way fro

if they eliminate that, then everybody pays social security on all their earnings, social security will almost double the amount of money it takes in. about stop talking lowering the amount you're going to get. every 10 days, the government would get after all of its expenses. the way i am thinking, you would every day thates would be made in this country, which would boost the economy because of the spending they would make any investments and the people they would help -- and the investments and the people they would help. i cannot explain it because of time, but it is very functional and easy to do. host: it seems most of our calls this morning dealing with the economy. the particular idea of dealing with the social security threshold in this country, more people, more money. what do you think about that? about i don't know a lot the specifics of that. on the national lottery question, a lot of countries to have national lotteries, but it does not solve their debt problem. they can fund some interesting stuff. we have a national lottery in written where all the money goes to culture

we now have keen trump will go after your social security. this is the larger context in which the president believes he can do anything he wants under article ii operates. as the danger we face, what is it going to take us to fight back? its fighting back and that's why we are here. >> okay. questions. >> the possibility this witness vote could split 50-50 has been raised, -- chief justice would wait in or step back? >> look, right now our focus is on getting four republicans. we shouldn't have to rely on what the chief justice will or will not do. we need four republicans who understand what the crisis that this president has created, who understands the waiting list of the arguments and the fact that in impeachment you must have a fair trial. that's where our focus is. >> if you don't, -- >> could you give us some insight on conversation drafting with republicans want on one? >> i don't -- [inaudible question] >> we all talked republican colleagues, and we've made the same arguments we have made here, which is that fairness dictates a fair

sanders's campaign who's been attacking his record, suggesting he would want to cut benefits on social security. let's take a listen to what joe biden said just in the last half hour. >> there's a little doctored video going around saying that, put out by one of bernie's people. now, i'm serious. i don't know if my staff has that video here, but saying that i agreed with paul ryan, the former vice presidential
