well, the way to pay for it is to cut social security and privatize medicare. how do you pay for tax cuts for the wealthy? well, you wipe out the retirement security of americans. you cut social security. you privatize medicare. that's their answer time after time after time. they don't really want to talk about it this close to an election. as soon as this election is over, we know the crescendo, we know the loud voices again from senator scott, the leader, who also happens to run the republican senate campaign committee, the senator from florida who is a freshman who believes that we should -- we have to renew medicare and social security every five years like we don't want anybody to feel comfortable or to be able to plan for the future or feel secure in their retirement. it's always the same plan from the corporate elite and think tank extremists. when i said almost everybody, it's not quite fair. it's the corporate elite in many cases. it's the people at these right-wing think tanks funded by billionaires that think this is some way that they -- they come u

and social security is based on the amount of money that you pay into social security. and a lot of your viewers called in and said social program. if you receive ssi, that is money the government is giving to you. you didn't work for this. a lot of times they receive money -- the red states don't pay a lot in social security. that's why they receive a little. in the blue states pay more into social security than the red states. they still want to call it a socialist program. they get more than the blue states. >> this is another piece of our history. without needing to sound like a pedantic professor, the social security act created programs like old-age insurance. that was what they call social insurance. basically you are entitled as a right for the fact that you pay in or your employer pays payroll taxes eventually you get a benefit when you reach retirement age. what's important about social security is the head of the dallas cowboys, whoever that happens to be at the moment, he gets social security. anybody who has worked gets social security. it's very much an ent

and with those payments from social security but generally people who are working the social security and medicare tax pay the expenses of those who are collecting social security and medicare. >> that is why there are premiums and thes premium part d there is a subsidy that people pay their own premiums for that coverage. >> down to the lone star state under 40 years old good morning. >>caller: good morning. the question about demographics it is interesting you say i am referred to as a millennial but what do i expect and given that the millennial's will soon be larger in population than baby boomers, how might that affect the system even though millennial's will pass population wise they might not vote it's much different expecting them to vote in the same numbers. do you have any thoughts on that demographics split between the largest generation of baby boomers then the millennial's and to compare and contrast? >> yes. this is what is studied pretty closely. but large in terms of years i'm one of the younger bb boomers i'm not retired yet there are many who are in their eighties. b

again social security you don't get -- there are many ways to become eligible or payment some social security but generally, yes people are working, it's those taxes, social security and medicare tax that goes to pay the expenses of people been collecting social security and medicare. in general. part b, that's why there are premiums paid for out of the general revenues, and the premiums part d, again there's a subsidy that people pay their own premiums for that coverage. >> host: down to the lone star state, chris, the life of those under 40 years old. good morning. .. about demographics. it is interesting you segmented today's audience by demographics. as a millennial my first question is what should i expect from social security and health care being that millenials will soon be larger in population then baby boomers? how might that affect the system ? even though millenials will surpass baby boomers population wise they might not vote -- it is much different expecting them all to vote in those same numbers. do you have any jot baby boomers and then the second largest generation an

many millennials think of social security as a myth for them.many older americans are starting to feel the same. the social security trust fund is on track to run out of money in 2034 barons managing editor kristen bell sram joins us now. so kristin polling shows that nearly half of millennials think they won't see a dime of their social security benefits. is that fear justified? well i mean , yes and no. i should start by saying the idea that millennials are going to see any social security benefits is very, very , very unlikely. but you know, both younger people and really all americans have reason to be nervous about the state of social security. as you said the social security retirement trust is on track to run out in 2034. this is the first year with the program actually paid out more and benefits than it had inflows . and you know, uh, trust a bankrupt trust is not a good look, i would say, um, that it's not as bad as it sounds, because in reality, the trust is only paying a portion of benefits. uh and payroll taxes actually make up the m

republicans, , including the chr of their senate campaign committee has said about reviewing whether social securityhould exist in five years. again, while we we're protecg healthcare and financial security foral seniors, the republicans are undermining that. that. they never did support social security or medicare, medicaid. and, in fact, when we won the house in 2006 it was largely, thank you to president bush, wanting to privatize social security, and here they go again. again, attacking our democracy making it harder for people to vote. in that regard one of the biggest suppressors of the vote is big, dark, special interest money in politics. this election gives us an opportunity.s we can elect to more senators to pass legislation that diminishes the role of big dark money by insisting on disclosure, which we've been trying toreav do sine the hateful anti-democratic citizens united decision came down from anit irresponsible court, to again trying to pass disclosure, which couldn't get one republican vote in the senate to do that. but again part of this election has to be to rescue our democracy

they're going to do when the house budget committee started talking about cost of medicare and social securityt afford it? folks, the senator in charge of re-elected the united states senate, senate store scott, has proposed a plan, social se security, medicare, every five years is it's on the chopping block. it means every five years you either cut it, reduce it or completely eliminate it, social security and medicare. you've been paying into social security since your first job as a teenager and you get your paycheck. by the way, then senator ron johnson of wisconsin, he thinks waiting five years is too long to wait. not a joke. these are actually in writing. he wants to put social security and medicare on the chopping block every single year in every budget. if congress doesn't vote to keep it, goodbye. now, it's not just social security and medicare he wants to deal with. he wants to put veterans benefits and everything else in the federal budget at risk. he's the same person that said, if the republicans gain control of congress, they should once again try to repeal the affordable care ac

. >> on tuesday there will be a speech about healthcare cost medicare and social security what we haveeenhe over the past few weeks democrats tried to put this over programs like medicare and social security. this is something they see as a political winner with those events throughout the week there is a conference for the first time in a couple of years on hunger and nutrition and health or the white house is rolling out targets to reduce hunger in the us by a drastically the next several decades. >> on the campaign trail where is the president going or where does the white house see that as an advantage? >> and what we have seen is a lot of fundraising. and then to give the stump speech of the legislation they have gotten past. and with that contrast of republicans to really be branded as extreme so we are not seeing so much in terms of being out on the trail with actual candidates he has largely left those races alone the new josh sapir running and they have been allowed to run their own races and to put themselves in a good position. so you see a lot of campaign style events from

social security, your first paycheck, you've been paying social security. guess what? the guy heading up the republican campaign for the united states senate from a from the south and the guy whose home state i just left in wisconsin, these guys don't even think social security should be guaranteed. they want it on the ballot every five years. every five years it has to be reauthorized. the guy in wisconsin concluded it should be every single year. every single year you have to vote on whether you keep or cut social security. what's going on here? this is not the country most republicans supported for the longest time. so look, the fact is when you have social security under attack, when you have medicare under attack, a refusal to have a circumstance we have some access to health care -- we can change things and we can change it for the better. wall street did not build this country, the middle class built it and unions built the middle class. let me close on a serious note. when i announced, i got criticized, i said i was running for three reasons, one, to restore th

sign social security, it's been the first paycheck that you've been paying for social security but guesswhat, the guy heading up the republican campaign committee for the united states senate , senator scott south and the guys whose home state i just left in wisconsin, these guys don't even think social security should be guaranteed they want it on the ballot every five years . every five years has to be reauthorized. and the guy in wisconsin, he concluded it should be every single year, every single year you should have to vote on whether you keep social security, whether you keep it or cut it or change it. what's going on here. >> this is not the country most of you, not the country most republicans who represented the state supported for the longest time so folks, the fact is that when you have social security and it's under attack. when you have medicare that's under attack, when your refusal to stick with making sure that you're in a circumstance where you have some access to healthcare . this is again, we can change things. we're going to change it for the better. and here's the deal.

it is not just social security.ing that senator scott wants, everything in the federal budget to be out for five years, nothing permanent, nothing. that includes veterans benefits, pell grant, everything else. look it up. it is hard to believe. i would think i am exaggerating if i didn't look at it myself. and along comes senator ron johnson from wisconsin. [booing] as my mother would say, god love him. he wants to put the vote of social security, medicare on the chopping block every single year. let me remind y'all again, you pay for social security, you pay for medicare. it is taken out of every single one of your paychecks. these guys never give up. guess what? we are not going to give up either. [applause] we are often told there's nothing you can get done in washington. too often, we confuse noise with substance. we confuse setbacks with defeat. too often, we hand the biggest microphones to the critics and cynics who delight in failure, while those committed to making real progress do the hard work of governing

it's not just social security wants to put up. they want medicaid benefits, every federal benefit has to be voted on every year. so in 46 days, americans will face a choice. republicans control the congress, social security will be on the chopping block. but if you support the democrats, social security will be protected. period. and i won't let any maga republican take it away. leader healthcare car thi talked about wanting a nation that is safe. let's look at republicans have done to make it safe. they voted against everything we have done to reduce crime and keep community safe. the american rescue plan was when we first got in office, we passed it. that was designed for mayors and governors its, they didn't have the tax base. i was left with an economy that was in distress. so we said, here you go. we're going to give you this money so you can make sure you can keep your schools open. you can make sure you keep police departments open. make sure you keep your hospitals open. make sure you keep the fire departments open. and gu

we didn't hear the words medicare or social security.first time, they will get the first thing they are going to do is repeal the inflation reduction act. guess what. all those things i mentioned we're going to do, they get rid of all of them. all of them with the repeal. i have a different idea. i'll protect those programs. i'll make them stronger. and i'll low your cost to be able to keep them. let me close with this. over the last few years, we faced some of the most difficult challenges in our history. we're actually making progress helping foengs get just a little more breathing room. lowering health care costs and strengthening medicare is a big part of the progress we have been making on inflation. not just with gasoline prices. it's one of the reasons why i'm so optimistic about america's future, for real. we have to remember who in god's name we are. we have kind of forgotten it. we're the united states of america. i have never been more optimistic about our prospects. there's simply nothing beyond our capacity to get done. if w

our deficit is not from social security. it's not for medicare.from wars and things like that. >> yeah. and the thing is, ron johnson will use any attempt to mislead. he is trying to further the narrative. this is a moment where we should make sure that the wealthiest among us pay their fair share. these are the people that contribute to ron johnson's campaign. these are the folks who have propped him up for the last 12 years. he would rather sell out the people that he represents them to do the right thing. again, he's against medicare negotiating very drug prices. so, that's not a budgetary thing. this is not something that you can use, that i'm seeing logic with. and he voted against capping the cost of insulin. ron johnson doubled his wealth in the u.s. senate, and does not care if your life gets harder. that is what we are dealing with. that is the unfair treatment that people across the state of wisconsin, across the entire country for that matter, are getting. that's why it's so important that we replace him with some the think, i truly und
