thanks for joining us. good evening. if president biden picked a fight with republicans last night, he showed today it s a fight he is happy to have. republicans showed they were just as happy to step in. both sides appear to want this. the president to show voters the gop is in the sway of extremism which res natured during the midterm election, republicans wanted to reinforce their credentials with the base and use their control of the house to amplify that effort. last night, president biden framed what they want the way he wanted. instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some republicans want medicare and social security to sunset. i m not saying it s a majority. let me give you anybody who doubts it, contact my office. i will give you a copy i will give you a copy of the proposal. that means congress doesn t vote i m glad to see i tell you, i enjoy conversion. it means if congress doesn t keep the programs the way they are, they would go away. othe
let me give you anybody who doubts it, contact my office. i will give you a copy i will give you a copy of the proposal. that means congress doesn t vote i m glad to see i tell you, i enjoy conversion. it means if congress doesn t keep the programs the way they are, they would go away. others republicans i m not saying it s a majority. i don t think it s a significant it s being proposed by individuals. i m not politely not naming them. it s being proposed by some of you. look, folks the idea is that we re not going to be we re not going to be moved into being threatened to default on a debt if we don t respond. that, of course, the woman in the white fur was congresswoman marjorie taylor greene shouting
protesting nobody wants to sunset medicare and social security. in a statement today, he said, i will not be intimidated by joe biden twist mig words. his proposal would make each program vulnerable every five years. he was slapped down by his own leader in the senate. let me tell you what would not be a part of our agenda. we will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the american people and sunsets social security and medicare within five years. that will not be part of the republican senate majority agenda. that was mitch mcconnell, republican minority leader mcconnell. he clearly knew the political implications of democrats being able to campaign against senator scott s plan and he ran away from it. that was in march. marjorie taylor greene ran toward it and in an interview late this afternoon didn t dispute this was actually something someone in her party, a leader in her party, proposed.
is put that way. marjorie taylor greene is making the argument democrats made about the de-fund police thing which is no one really wants that. i haven t been to any meetings were democrat talked about de-funding police. the fact that 24 hours later, you are smiling, that they are having to defend themselves. i m so happy tonight. this is awesome. joe biden just got them. he got them. he took this little thing that he knew was going to drive them nuts. we are talking about it 24 hours later. that s masterful politics. there s a reason it resonates. the republican party has been a party you believe may not care about some of the programs. there have been attempts in the past to roll back some of the programs. there s just enough truth in it to get it going. i think that joe biden did so well last night in that people thought maybe he lost his step, he is old, he is slow.
