social security beneficiaries will receive checks that include a record-breaking 8.7 cost-of-living adjustment, social security benefits are slated to increase by more than $140 per month on average, according to the social security administration. next up in new york on the recipient line, go ahead. caller: yes, i am a uaw worker from upstate new york. we need to do three things to stabilize social security. i am still working, i am a recipient but still working. we need to raise the age limit from 62 when you first start receiving it, raise the cap on it. it's around 150,000. we are going to have to raise the contribution from 6.2% for social security and 1.5% for medicare, because you just can't receive -- today's workers, if they want to receive its help retirement, they've got to contribute more to it. everybody likes social security but do not necessarily want to pay for it. social security is the most successful government program we have, because it is shared security. in a country where we mostly have looking out for number one, we are looking out for the other person. that is our contribution. host: this is the headline from insider, damaging cuts to medicare and social security are looking more likely with mccarthy a

contentious exchange between byron donalds enjoy read the congressman is correct the social security administration confirm predictions that funds are expected to deplete by 2035 pre-this comes on the heels of demands some conservatives of the house you speak of kevin mccarthy entitlement programs i social security and medicare as the nation closes in on the $31.4 trillion let's talk about this now with our guest gillian, it looks as the republicans are serious about fiscal responsibility which we could agree is a good thing given the scale as a public debt that we have but we know gillian from very strong past experience the politics till end very well for republicans with the government shutdowns or playing around with the debt limits whose efforts to rain and spending tend to be politically very risky, how do you see playing out with republicans justin control the house. >> the first thing the republicans can do in congressman it was rudely interrupting him on repeat, they have to make sure the public it's the facts this is not a republican talking point this is the social security has said the

that if people are mobilized, then of course immediately submit an application to the social security administration there is an alternative civil service a service that would be nice to have with you, and we pulled out a lot of people from assembly points and even from training units and even from military units, but i use the fact that the consideration of an application for alternative civil service delays the mobilization of a person and uh, well, often in our practice, simply representatives of military enlistment offices and representatives of military units uh, prefer not to get involved with the topic of mobilized people who protect their rights, who know how to uh , and protect their rights. save contacts activists, for example, uh, projects are fun, and they contact us, and we are in touch almost 24 hours a day and are ready to help people not to participate in this criminal war, a market of people who cannot somehow stand up for their rights, including middle -level managers who do you think they can come for this time ?

trust funds out lays and income occurs as we projects they will decline to 0 in and the social security administration will not be able to full benefits when they are due. this is as the debt crisis is looming over capitol hill and democrats are accusing republicans of wanting to gut social security and medicare to cut spending. >> let's see what cuts they actually want to make and let's see if they can pass any of them. i doubt it. i doubt it. to my gop colleagues, if you want to talk about all this stuff, then you have an obligation to show the american people precisely what kind of cuts you want to make. >> even if republicans leave the program untouched, social security and medicare according to experts will run out of cash anyway leaving the 66 million who count on monthly social security check with close to nothing. some moderate democrats like senator joe manchin have expressed interest in working with republicans to tackle what's considered a politically toxic problem before the programs implode. >> anybody with any sense knows we are going to have to reform those programs because we are going

estimates the cost of social security already exceeds the money it's bringing in, warning this, the balance in the trust funds will decline to 0 in 2033, and the social security administration will no longer be able to pay full benefits when they are due. republicans are warning that they need to do something and are trying to use the debt limit as an intervention to washington's spending problem, and finally cut out government waste of taxpayer cash. >> anybody with any sense knows we are going to have to reform those programs because we are going to -- we are going to honor the payments and the benefits for retirees and those what they were promised but you can't do that if washington puts their head in the sand and ignores the inevitable problem that will come with the two programs. >> democrats on capitol hill and president biden say they don't want to negotiate any spending cuts to raise the debt ceiling and some democrats are deflecting responsibility for adding trillions in new government spending to the national debt on their watch. >> congresswoman, quickly on the debt limit. democrats have been in charge the past two years, do you think democrats have spent too mu

social security. it was under the johnson administration that they borrowed from the general fund from social security and never paid it back. one of my colleagues said how to handle it, it is our money and be like a banker, call the note and take the money now. it would bankrupt the system, but people are fed up with this constant stalemate of a power grab and both sides are guilty. that is my comments. guest: thank you, harvey for calling in and i am glad that you watch a lot of c-span i hope we helped boost the ratings last week with 15 rounds of voting for speaker. i am someone and i have the honor to say this to brian lam to thank him for what he has done in creating this institution. i first learned about government watching c-span. so a sincere thank you. i was called the mtv generation i would like to say it was the c-span generation as well. to harvey's point about social security, the reality is that beginning in the late 60's and early 70's between the johnson and nixon administrations the social security surplus did go to general spending and that is something that both parties have been g

let alone the naem are there and communicating back and forth to the social security administration andomebody a passport. smat po at some point, that really the maers. people are not getting checks or having problems. those things are going to really matter. that impacts americans' lives more so than the debates about the debt ceiling. >> that is actually the point for those who are at home much whatting this, that is your power. is to make the members of congress hear from you. how do you feel about the fact that we're at the same point now as when we started to day as where we left off last night? great news for jeffries, obviously. he continues to get 212. great way for him to start his tenure as a the krdemocratic leader. you want to pick up on what david said. at some point if you're an institutionalist in the republican party, you have to be concerned about the brand of the republican party. we're starting to hear that from some of these members in terms of you have to be able to say you can govern. the message is okay. they keep talking about we have this majority. but the answe

well, let's think of social security administration as another another example. so now if you if you would want to accelerate that is then a case where the whole government itself, the us treasury and the federal reserve, which really bert ely taught me years ago, bert i there we briefly taught me years ago the federal reserve and the treasury really have to be viewed as one thing the government's financing operation can you get to a place where it itself can't handle the risk that taken on by becoming, let's say, the biggest savings and loan in the world which which it has then i think the answer is you get a hyperinflation, which is just a way of defaulting, which is a way of the governments defaulting on its obligations in another form. so i have a throw this one your way in chapter one, you say there's something like 60 or more official of financial stability reports regularly published. so my question is why what what's the point can an official government stability report ever say that the countries the precipice of a financial crisis without a financial cr

and then martha ann was being questioned by another va agent and social security administration. >> martha out. chuck was no decorated hero. he was never in combat. no silver stars. no purple hearts. those ribbons, all fake. and martha, had never walked the hallways of the pentagon as a marine colonel, was less present at a 9/11 attack, or flew on air force two. they confessed to perpetuating a complex and massive fraud for claims. how do you and your agents ever encountered anyone as complex the fraudulent? >> i'll never work another case like this in my career. >> but another sinister detail was about to unfold. family and friends were only finding out about the fraud over early morning coffee, martha's best friend debbie was reading her newspaper. >> i'm thinking to myself, this cannot be true. this cannot be true. so i start yelling at the top of my lungs. jim! get up! you have to see this. >> debbie's husband, jim, is an army veteran. they couldn't believe what they were reading. >> fooled the federal government, stealing money from the veterans. >> was it money that mattered? >> no i

going to be denied -- their families are going to be denied the equivalent of social security benefits. so this administrationpause. it is related to -- a party that's part of the government. they have relaxed -- and if you don't know him, he is somebody who sparta called for several beaches for jews and not jews, so that not jews in the state of israel shouldn't be without any national right, without any political proceeding. non jewish should be applied to taxes and slavery. he does not agree -- he does not agree that will be forcefully deported. they shall not live -- non-jews are not to be allowed to live in the city of jerusalem. and prohibitions on intermarriage. that guy is a part of netanyahu 's government. what's going on in israel? >> it's a terrible situation. and i have to say that the biden administration's policy has been to continue what the trump administration did. the trump administration recognized that the israeli annexation of the golan heights, essentially, moved the embassy to jerusalem, they don't know these different things. and administrations prior to that had resisted doing that. t

does the president have a plan to ensure that social security and medicare this is the halfwa point of this administration. >> the president's plan is that he is going to protect social security, he is going to protec medicare, and what he is saying clearly and we have said this, you hurt essay it. on medicare, and critical programs, but that benefits every day americans that is something we are going to call out, as it relates to that debt ceiling, this is something that should be done in a bipartisan way. that is what he has been saying very clearly, we should not put on the chopping block, the very programs that matter to america people they have already paid into social security. medicare, medicaid, this is something americans have paid into and. >> my question is, what they sa is medicare in 3-5 years will not be able to meet. social security in 12 years wil not be able to eat at the president has been president fo two years he hopes to be president for six more years, will it come in 2023? >> what we are seeing, and i just said this, these are programs of the american people paid into. these are pro

administration passed on a strictly party line basis ignited inflation. but that is water under the bridge. what is going insolvent is medicare in four years, social security11 years. if we address that, it will be something positive. i think that would satisfy hawks on the debt limit, the administration would show they're being wise physical stewards. that is all the american people are asking. elizabeth: why is fiscal stewards? nearly 360 approximately dollars in pandemic aid stolen. we're talking federal workers including ts at, dhs, irs state workers stole pandemic money. over the next decade to your point about entitlements, it seems staggering that social security, medicare, medicaid, va benefits, defense spending, interest payments that will take up 75% of all federal spending. >> yes. and so, by the way i'm willing to concede all the points you made but if the administration wants something face saving let's just look forward. we've got to make sure that social security and medicare are solvent. that it is there for the people who are on it and will be there for the people who are going to be. now if they just want to say okay, we're not talking ab

social security, hugely important. social security is facing a funding shortfall it has been for many years. administrations of not seize the opportunity to make the changes that will be needed to close the shortfall. so what does that mean? there is a history of social security going broke. that is actually not correct. what the situation is, social security is called a pay-as-you-go program. that is the people who are working now are paying into the program with the social security taxes. that revenue is going out to the people who are receiving benefits now. as the population has aged, there are fewer people of working wage paying into the system for the number of people who are retired and taking benefits at older ages. and so over the years a trust fund wasn't built up of the surplus contributions for many years, that has been drawn on in order to pay the benefits owed to retire workers. early to mid 30s social security trust fund will run out. when that happens it does not mean social security is not going to exist anymore. that does mean if congress does nothing all benefits will be cut by about 20%.

every is couple years a few of e wonderkinds want to privatize medicare and social security and the veterans administration it's nothing less than to go back on a bedrock promise. the senator from nevada understand that people pay into social security every paycheck, they pay into medicare -- that's not true, if you are rich you pay into social security the first part of the year because you paid the first part of the year in some philosophy i don't understand. you pay in for all of us, if you pay in, you get the benefits. i have affirming the senate's commitment to expand social security. it said we affirm and pledge to protect social security and medicare from any kinds of cuts, from the far right that doesn't believe in the program. almost every democrat signed on. not one republican signed on. not one republican recommitted to our promise, if you work hard all your life social security will be there for you. americans shouldn't have to worry. i urge my colleagues to do what the american people want us to do overwhelmingly. they want us to protect and expand social security and medicare. as i said, mada

formed by the president of ukraine is the leadership of these administrations, which deal precisely with issues of humanitarian social securityhere is a desire to evacuate from er, well, that is, a dangerous zone, then i will say that we can evacuate people from any populated place in the liberated territory of kherson oblast, in addition, there is also the red cross in addition, there are other volunteer organizations that deal with this, this is the first thing, the most important thing is the situation, the situation is very difficult , because, well, let's say berislavskyi district, which is the most, almost everyone has been laid off populated areas are in the zone there, let's say artillery or rocket fire from the occupiers, they cannot change with the fact that people waited for the liberation and are trying to make normal civilian life there in their territories of humanitarian disaster. we don't have it because the number of well, the products that come today from the territory of ukraine, from the territory of state donors , there are very, very many of them, it is enough. deliver home, therefore, i am sure that des

cuts to social security and medicare as the price of not bringing us to economic ruin that i think we invite more of that kind of economy hostage taking. so i think that the biden administration is taking exactly the right position. cutting social security and medicare, for me, and i know for the president, is completely a deal breaker, off the table, nothing to be considered and never will be. >> the -- i know it's very premature and i've never asked a candidate at this stage this question before, but if you make it to the united states senate, would you ask chuck schumer for an assignment on the senate intelligence committee? >> i would certainly be interested in continuing my service on the intelligence committee, but more than that i am determined to do everything i can to defend this country. one of the sad realizations for me over the last several years is the principal threat to our country now comes from within. it comes from a demagogue like donald, trump it comes from the hundred and 40 republicans in the house of representatives that voted to overturn the presidential election because their ambitions for office was greater than their devotion to the constitution. a

social security, medicare. this really is a gift to the administration, who was very happy to get on to something other than no scandals and incorrect comparisons to the trump document problem, because this is exactly what democrats have been saying, that republicans are radical, they want to change the fundamentals of government that people like, and they will do so in a very reckless, dangerous way that would put the nations, really, our whole debt structure and our whole ability to borrow money at risk. >> you know, michael, i love this economic conversation, but a lot of people don't, right? the debt ceiling feels like a boring conversation, feels like been there, done that already, except we're at this strange moment in our american economy in which inflation is still three times as high as it should be. it's coming down as a result of the federation interest rates, but interest rates are high and if they miss at that payment, interest rates are going to go higher. we might face a recession this year, by virtue of all of these increasing interest rates. i'm curious as to whether, republicans must know thi

social security, hugely important. social security is facing a funding shortfall. it has been for many years and successive administrations have not seized the opportunity to make the changes that would be needed to close the shortfall. so what does that mean? i think a lot of people, you know, there's this sort of story of like, oh, you know, social security is going broke. that's actually not correct. what the situation is, is that social security's is it's called a pay as go program. that is the people who are working now are paying into the program with their social security taxes and that revenue is going out to the people who are receiving benefits. now. so as the population has aged. there are fewer people of working age paying into the system for the number of people who are retired and taking benefits at older ages. and so over the years as a trust fund was built up of the surplus us contributions for years has that has been drawn on in order to pay benefits that are owed to retired workers. and if congress does nothing in the you know early to mid 2030s the social security trust fund will run out. when that happ

voters of both parties and i think with good reason so social security is hugely important, it's been a shortfall for many years and the administrationshave not seized thepp opportunity to make the changes needed to close the shortfall. what does that mean? i think a lot of people, there's this story of social security is going broke. that is not correct. what the situation is, social security is called a pay as you go program, the google working now are paying in to the program there social security taxes and that revenue is going to the people receiving benefits now. the population ages, there are fewer people of working age paying in to the system for the number of people who are retired and taking one of its at older ages so over the years a trust fund was built up of the surplus contribution for many years drawn to able to pay the benefits owed to retired workers and if congress does nothing early to mid- 2030s, the social security trust fund will run out. when that happens, it doesn't mean social security will not be anymore but it does mean if congress does nothing, all benefits will be cut by about 20%. because social security

social security and medicare. that's their fwoel. and i think the biden administrationto say you're not going to take the country's fiscal health hostage here. we're not going to negotiate over this. this is something that is -- the debt ceiling applies to debts that are already incurred, and we pay our bills. and i think that's exactly the position they should take. >> let me also get your thoughts on the different issues while i have you, congressman. president bide he just spoke while out in california on the classified documents found in his home and office saying there's no there there, and he has no regrets. he's been following his lawyers' advice. is that the right tone when this relates to highly sensitive top secret sci documents? >> first of all, i think whenever classified documents are found somewhere they shouldn't be, it's an issue. and we need to find out how the documents ended up there and if there's any risk they were exposed to people that shouldn't have had access. the intelligence community does those kind of damage assessments, mitigation assessmen

this as the first two years of the biden administration and here is what the tea delivered. inflation nightmare, social security at risk, raging debt, the president says points the finger at republicans, though. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." biden yesterday tooting his own horn on the economy and going after speaker of the house kevin mccarthy over the fringe bill that may not even come up for a vote. >> president biden: they introduced another vote. raising taxes on working class people taxing groceries, gasoline, clothing, supplies, medicine. even big ticket items like rent and cars. 30% sales tax on all those issues. speaker of the house says he is not sure he is for it now. blessed father free of sin. >> harris: wow, okay. speaking of not being able to get along. that would be a sign of it there saying things like that the president oddly was digging in over the debt limit. even though you saw on this program yesterday senator rick scott of florida and others now chiming in we're ready to negotiate with the president. the president is not interested in negotiation. >> president bi

social security check -- will not go out. so if push comes t shove, i believe the administration can act in their own power, increasing the interest on bonds to be able to raise interest rates and other avenues. amy: isn't that what conservative republicans and a number of democrats want? >> higher interest rates -- but they don't care. they don't care about the institution's the economy. i am for increasing the spending. kevin mccarthy is in a difficult position because -- amy: i want to go back to the issue of climate. amy: what have you recommended in this report that just came out before the beginning of the year to actually hold these companies accountable and would be criminal accountable as well as financial countability? >> they can be held accountable like big tobacco was held accountable. financial accountability. need to prevent the methane leaks that are taking place and many oil wells. these companies like big tobacco light to the american public. what the documents show to increase the fossil fuel infrastructure. so they're actually not taking significant steps to lower emissions. they're using that rhetoric on makin
