Showme state with his own rally. Were going to get back to our coverage with john kasich whos holding a town hall meeting at this hour in heath, ohio. Lets listen in. When i think about the challenges that weve had in Lincoln County and so many of the villages, and of course over there in newark, what i see happening with the gibb reeses. You remember gibb reese . Earl shirts. Jill brasae. You see, they didnt wait for anybody to come riding in to down to solve their problems. In mckeys rocks we fixed it ourselves. We want to renew the spirit of the country . We renew it, right within our families so we strengthen it. With our neighbors so we know who our neighbors are and we need to take care of the community in which we live and make sure that everybody has a chance to rise. Now i want to tell you something really important. Many of you would watch debates and you would say, how come they never call on kasich . Okay . You know why they didnt call on me . Because i didnt personally attack somebody. Ive actually had people in the national immediamedia who have if you really want to get attention, you need to start attacking. Let let me tell you, folks, firf all, you leaked me to represent you. Number one. Number two, i will not take the low road to the highest office in the land to be elected to anything. Thank you. Thank you. And we cannot create in this country a toxic environment where images of people slugging it out at a campan rally thinkbout it are transmitted all over the globe with people who, they really do love us. They dont like to admit it, but they do love us in other parts of the world, because they know that were the strength for freedom. Were the strength for human rights. Were the hope for women who want to have equality in their society. And you know what they lot of them say when they see this . Whats happened to america . Whats happened to our country . You know, problems are serious. Rob mentioned them. But think about these problems. I heard from my father that during the great depression, hed go down to buy some milk and some bread down at the corner store. He didnt have any money. Hed walk in and the guy would say, well put it on the kasich tab. There was no tab. It didnt exist. Think about what it was like to have had a loved one to be on the barges at normandy splashing into the water and climbing on the beach with machine gun fire that would cut you to pieces, and think about the loved ones, the families that were at home, who thought i may never see my husband, i may never see my son, i may never see my brother again. And many of them never did. Or think about what it must have been like when you had this flash on the television. My god, these planes are crashing into the buildings. Wheres my mom . I was there after 9 11 at ground zero and i saw signs painted by kids in an Elementary School down the block, and i saw in the buildings on the glass things printed in the glass that said please fine my mom. Please find my dad. So now we have our struggles. But think about throws and whats happened. We emerged from the depression stronger than ever. We came out of world war ii as the guardian of freedom in the world. And you remember when george bush stood on that rubble and said were all americans, all over the world. So well fix these things when we remember that were americans and not republicans and democrats first, but americans first, and Work Together and lift this country. We will fix this. Now, ive done 106 town halls in New Hampshire. 200 meetings. Then ive done i dont know how many in south carolina. Was in illinois for some last week. Ive been all over the place and theyve all been fun. So now were here. Please dont screw this up for me. Okay . Im having a great time. Okay . Who wants to go first and ask a question. Ask whatever you want. Yes, sir, right back here. I have a question on Social Security. First of all, it is not an entitlement. People and their employers have paid in to that expecting it to be there when they retire. I read somewhere in New Hampshire you were proposing some income cuts for senior citizens. Correct me if i have this wrong, and i hope i do. But what is your take on that . If so, thats not right to do. Thank you. Yeah. Well, sir, heres the situation. They say that things like Social Security are the third rail in politics. Touch it and youll die. I have no third rails in my political world. You see a problem, you have to fix it. Now you understand the problem with Social Security is demographic. We dont have as many people working as we have retired. And were going to have a bigger rush even than we have today because as baby boomers retire, theres not enough people in the workforce to be able to support the baby boomers. The numbers dont work. They just simply dont work. This should have been addressed 20 years ago. And i proposed trying to fix it almost 20 years ago. But politicians thought it was the third rail. So what do we do . Well, i dont want to give you the complicated formula as to how we start the initial benefit. Let me give you the principle. Reason why it is an entitlement is, if you qualify for it, you get it. Doesnt have anything to do with the negative word of entitlement. Just means when you meet the criteria, you automatically qualify. I believe as you have earned money throughout your lifetime and if you have been wealthy, then you are still going to get Social Security. Youre just not going to get as much as you thought you were going to get and the people who really depend on it, the people that really need it are going to get their full benefit. When we do that, it fixes Social Security forever. We never have to mess with this program again. It will be strong and it will continue. Theres no other way to get this thing accomplished but i will tell you this. In order to get this done, you will have to have some democrats who are going to work with republicans to get it done. Thats the answer on Social Security. What do you consider highincome . When you mention that. And secondly, i understand what you said. Makes sense. Fewer workers. But couldnt that money come from somewhere else like foreign aid or how about the perks for lifetime in senate and representatives get that we still pay for and theyre not doing anything . Theyre not doing anything now. You know, its sort of like first of all, we could take it out of waste, fraud and abuse. Dont know whether you know this or not but if you walk into the government and you say, hey, can you show me where the waste, fraud and abuse office is, that doesnt exist. Number two, foreign aid is a tiny little piece. Im just going to give you the real story and not tell you what you want to hear. Its tiny. If we took away all the salaries of all the members of congress, it would be like a spit in the ocean compared to what were facing. So were still trying to figure out exactly what those income levels are. But it is vital that those who really depend on it can get it, and those who have had the ability to accumulate wealth over time will get less. Theyll not get none like some have proposed, because then it becomes a welfare program, and it is not a welfare program. All i want to do, sir, is to make sure we get this program solid, because there is a lot of our seniors that are very frightened about it and there are more 18 yearolds who think theyre more likely to see a ufo than a Social Security check and we need to take care of that becaus theyre going to pay into it for a very, very long time. Thats, frankly, the answer, sir. Yes, right here. Id like to follow up on that. As i cross over the threshold of the cap on soci security, one side of me went, hey, that thatis great, i get more money back in my paycheck. Long term side of me said thats not so goodecause youre no longer contributing to your Social Security. Whats your take oun eliminating the cap on Social Security and also not privatizing Social Security but towing Social Security out of the hands of the government so they cant rob and steal Social Security like they have done historically . Let me speak to all of this because this is why its good to do town halls. Because it is also educational. First of all, what happened with Social Security is the amount of money that was in was more than the amount of money that flowed out. Theres not green money thats Social Security, red money thats gas tax all the money flows in. The government does not invest in the private market. I dont want them investing in the private market, buying stocks. So what they did is when they borrowed the money to run the government which we did not do when i ultimately got to the balanced budget, what they did is whether they borrowed it they put an iou in that account. Those ious are being redeemed right now. Because the government cant default on those. It has to honor those ious. But the problem is back to the demographics. The fact is that we just have a lot fewer people working compared to those who are reting, and when it comes to the cap, should we raise the cap, part of that is related to you can raise the cap, you still havent solved your fundamental problem. But i believe at the end of the day, whether we raise the cap or not will be a discussion point whenever we sit down and try to get everybody together to figure something out. Id like to have a plan that i can providep on on Social Security in the first 100 days. Then ive got to recruit some democrats. Now i was saying in a funny sort of way that one of the things im going to do in the first 1 00 days is to collect the phone numbers of the moms an dads who have kids in congress so i can call mom on her birthday, then she calls her son or daughter whos in congress, member of the congress, and says dont you pick on that president , you work with him. I like him very much. And you laugh, but does that work, neal . Am i right . All right, from john kasichs rally. Now to another part of ohio, cleveland, where frontrunner donald trump is addressing his supporters there. We want to listen in to his remarks right now. We are going it replace obamacare. It is a disaster. We are going to have incredibly, incredibly strong borders. We are going to have strong borders on the sthoun border. We are going to have a wall. We are going to have a wall. A real wall, folks. A real wall. And whos going to pay for the wall . Mexico who mexico zblirmts. You Better Believe it. Theyre paying. Theyre paying. Okay. Okay. So heres the story. We have trade deficits with virtually every country we do business with. With china, it 500 think of this 500 billion. And youre losing plants over here and youre losing a plant over there. And youre losing another plant, i hear, over there. Any direction i can point to, youre losing jobs, youre losing your plants. Were not going to let it happen anymore. You have a governor who ive gotten to know and hes abandoned this state. Hes lived in New Hampshire. He lives there. Hes moved to New Hampshire. He said hes going to win. I won in a landslide. He moved to south carolina, he said he was going to win. I won in a landslide. He moved to michigan. He said he was going to win. And if he didnt win michigan, hed drop out of the race. And i won in a landslide. Why didnt he drop out . Im going to break away from that rally for a moment because we want to bring you some additional updates to whats been happening with donald trump today. There were some tense moments earlier for mr. Trump where he was speaking to thousands at another rally in ohio. I have to do it myself. I know its as you can see, secret Service Agents were responding very quickly to what was seen as some kind of potential threat at the rally near dayton, ohio. Agents jumping on the stage surrounding the republican front rubber. This is after someone in that crowd apparently got too close. You see that video there. Thats new video just a short time ago that was brought to us after that onstage incident showing secret Service Agents escorting a protesters out of that ohio event. This incident follows what was a troubling and chaotic scene in chicago last night with clashes breaking out between Trump Supporters and antitrump protesters inside the chicago pifl on. All of this prompting trump to cancel that event as what was described as security concerns. Mr. Trump says the high tensions and flareups are tied to president obama for what he says are the divisions that have polarized the nation. We want to get along with everybody and we can get along with people. Were going to unify the country. Our president has divided this country so badly. He has been a i call him the great divider. You know when he got elected originally, i said, you know, i dont think hes going to be a very good president. On this very busy news we heard from the president speaking a short time ago at a Democratic NationalCommunity Reception in dallas, texas. He adds the heated rhetoric on the campaign trail is getting out of harnof hand. What the folks who are running for office should be focused is how we can make it better. Not insults and schoolyard taunts. Certainly not violence against other americans. Meanwhile, the battle for the allimportant delegates continues to raise the stakes in several states in play right now. Voting is under way at this hour in guam, the northern Mariana Islands and in washington, d. C. This is a polling station in the Nations Capital with republicans there casting ballots for who they would like to see lead the gop as the partys no many knee. Lets gret to ed henry whos following from cleveland, ohio. Reporter good to see you. Im at an africanamerican church in cleveland where Hillary Clinton will be speaking in a short time. She has jumped on this trump situation you have been talking about. She had an event a little earlier in missouri and was talking about how for some time out here on the trail she has been saying that the tone needs to be lowered, that donald trump needs to stop going after various groups, and that some of this violence is getting out of control. Listen. I believe with all my heart, we a the only way to fix whats broken is to stand together against the forces of division and discrimination that are trying to divide america between us an them. Reporter now, she obviously is in missouri because it is one of those primary states on tuesday. Ohio here as well. Voters will be going to the polls. She is in a scramble with Bernie Sanders in the midwest in particular. Because remember, he shocked her with that victory a few days back in michigan. Hes trying to build on that momentum, and in part, hes doing that, Bernie Sanders, by appearing earlier today in chicago where this whole situation with donald trump rally went down. It was clear from sanders remarks that he believes trump needs to dial it back. In fact a couple days ago i sat down for an interview with Bernie Sanders, and even then he was making it clear that he believes the tone had been getting out of control it is interesting to note that moveon. Org has endorsed Bernie Sanders in this campaign and in fact recently weve been seeing the last couple days moveon. Org saying they need to shut down Trump Supporters at the rallies. How do you exist in the modern world when you have somebody whos running for president insulting muslims and mexicans and women and veterans . You know, its quite preposterous. So, interesting as i mentioned, Hillary Clinton will be here in a short time speakingalispeaking ali at this africanamerican church. We expect shell comment on donald trump but also she will want to turn out africanamerican vote in the cleveland area as she tries to push back on sanders and win this battleground of ohio.
