work while letting his former boss do all the work. m.i.a. from the campaign trail, democrats are turning to barack obama to rescue them from a midterm shellacking, the guy who lost the best hope to stop this red wave. the only way to save democracy is if we nurture it and fight for it together. that starts with collecting people who know you and see you and care about you. every republican politician seems obsessed with two things: own the lives. they are only libs. they are interested in making you angry. they are hoping it will distract you from the fact that they don t have answers of their own. even the media realizes that biden is at their worst customer. he can t be out there, so this is the only person they can put out. the democrats hope he is a closer. i talked to two people yesterday and regular conversations. barack obama is good at this, and i think that s what they are counting on, especially for we need those millennials, the gen zs. he energize
what if rick scott s plan goes into effect for medicare and social security? there is a minute and a half clip about him talking about social security and how people in wisconsin worked their whole lives to get that money, and republicans get into office, they will scale back entitlements, and i don t know why democrats aren t leading with that. and it s not true. a republican president recently has attacked, gone after, and reduced social security? no one. any republican presidents in the last 50 years customer there s been quite a lot, but they ve never done what they are always being accused of. rick scott s plan there isn t another but he put out the plan as far as republicans are going to do. mitch mcconnell said i have nothing to do with that, but he did not put his plan forward. so you tell me what s the big republican plant? what s it called again?
certainly wouldn t help them. howard schultz would have trouble having a serious, credible, competitive candidacy. first he s a billionaire at a point in time when united states is facing dramatic income equality and across the political spectrum frustration with elites like who war schultz has reached a fever pitch. schultz has called for rolling back entitlements, rolling back programs like social security and medicare he s come out against medicare for all. especially on the left, to make health insurance more broadly accessible to people who can t afford it through something along the lines like a public option or more federal funding for health insurance programs. so people on the left are not going be remotely comfortable with howard schultz. the question is his message of almost moderation something that s going to appeal to
picking up pace because at this level it doesn t take much to get exponentially worse. and we ll look at the flip side of what happens here. speak up. we ve got dagen mcdowell and kathy, that was your point prior, that the debt is out of control. it is. neil: you re very, very young and you have the same concern under barack obama so i ll take that as a given. okay. neil: what do you make of what s happening on the debt? it s going to it s record-breaking so it s going to be larger than our economy in 16 years. politico reported that. the average family will have to pay $150,000 in order to pay off this debt. neil: so i guess we ve got to scale back entitlements. i think so, sure. that s something that the president promised that he wouldn t touch, entitlements when he was campaigning. maybe we get that after the midterm elections because that is going to be critical. the medicare hospital trust fund goes broke in eight years, eight
36%, is that why he couldn t get those waive erring republicans if his job approval was better he would have had a better chance? certainly a higher job approval rating would have been helpful. the president would have had more leverage over these senators. as it is, those senators actually probably have more leverage over the president because in most states, they are more popular than he is. that is certainly a problem, but i think what republican senators truly confronted in this situation was the stark reality that passing health care legislation was going to be very, very difficult, if not impossible, especially because you re talking about rolling back entitlements, essentially, especially with the medicaid expansion, government subsidies for health care. once you put these things out there and give people these entitlement programs, it is very difficult for the government to then say, we re taking this back and not have that be political suicide. all right. everybody stay
