Folks at home, does anybody think the tax code is fair . Do you really think the wealthy and big corporations need another 2 trillion tax rate . I sure do not. I will keep fighting to make it fair. President biden, has been using some of the best lines from his state of the Union Address beginning the day after the State Of The Union. Here is how he began his appeal on taxes today in New Hampshire. Does anybody here think that the tax code is fair . Raise your hand. I do not think so either. Republicans oppose everything that joe biden is proposing on taxes. Everything. The proposals that is more fair depend entirely on our first guest tonight becoming the best , the next Speaker Of The House in january. That depends on you, the voters. Electing the majority of democrats. Jeffries, needs only four more seats of democrats in the House Of Representatives to elect him as Speaker Of The House. He will be the first Speaker Of The House from new york city. That is kind of remarkable. There has never been one. He will be the first black Speaker Of The House. The United States constitution has exactly one parliamentary rule for legislation. All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House Of Representatives. That means all tax bills, it will be up to speaker jeffries. For him to guide the Tax Fairness Bill through the House Of Representatives. It includes affordable increases in taxes, only for people making over 400,000 a year. An additional tax increase for billionaires. As well as corporate tax. That still leaves it lower than it was under bill clinton. While he is at it, speaker jeffries will have to guide all of the rest of the Biden Legislative Agenda through the House Of Representatives. But if he is not Speaker Of The House next year, republican speaker, will continue to be the operate, donothing congress, or to try to impeach members of the in ministration, or to try to take away from the people, to take things away from the people. Joe bidens new budget that was released today would protect them. I republican friends want to put Social Security and medicare on the Chucking Black again. If anyone tries to cut Social Security or medicare, or raise the Retirement Age again, i will stop them. Even this morning, donald trump, said cuts to Social Security and medicare are on the table again. The bottom line, he is still at it. I will never allow that to happen. I will not cut Social Security or medicare. Here is what donald trump said on cnbc today about cutting Social Security, medicare, and medicaid. First of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting later, the Trump Campaign issued a statement claiming that he was only talking about cutting waste in those programs. I know that everyone thinks there is waste in all government programs. No one has ever identified any waste in the Social Security program that can be cut or in medicare. Its worth comparing medicare to private Health Insurance. 17 of the premiums that you pay for private Health Insurance are not used for healthcare. They are used purely for administrative costs. Executive salaries and with Insurance Companies, that includes Advertising Costs. In medicare, the Advertising Costs are zero. Everything the republicans have always told you that would lead you to expect that the administrative costs of medicare must be much higher than private Insurance PrivateHealth Insurance, the administrative costs, are 17 . Medicare, the administrative costs, 2 . 2 . Making medicare simply the most efficient Health Insurance program in the world. Donald trump is lying about cutting waste for medicare. The proof that he is lying about that is that in his four years in his presidency, he never once attempted to cut any waste from medicare. His people could not find any. He never attempted to cut any waste from Social Security, because his people could not find any. Nor did he try to cut any waste from medicaid. Donald trump said today, it was very clear. His president ial campaign knows that it was a stupid thing to say politically. So the campaign is trying to pretend that donald trump meant something else. Donald trump has had, he has said stupid things. In a new book, donald trump, his third white house chief of staff tells this story about him. He says, hitler did some good things. I said, what . He said, hitler rebuild the economy. I said, sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing. Trump expressed admiration for hitlers hold on senior officers. He would ask about the loyalty issues and of the german generals. They tried to assassinate him a few times and he did not know that. After visiting with donald trump on friday, victor orban, said that trump will not give up any in the ukrainian russian war. That is why the war will and. It is obvious that ukraine cannot stand on its own feet. If the americans do not give money and weapons with the europeans, the war is over. The same thing was true of britain when hitler invaded all of western europe. After conquering france, was determined to soon have troops marching in london the way they marched into paris for the only way the british survived, the only way, was with military supplies delivered to them by the president of the United States, franklin roosevelt, who joe biden quoted at the beginning of his state of the Union Address on thursday. In a speech that President Roosevelt made, explaining to the American People why we needed to help the british survived hitlers attack. The speech that he quoted was given a year before the United States was attacked by japan. And then actually entered world war ii as a participant. If donald trump had been in the presidency in 1941 when the british needed help to survive, hitler would have won. We know Donald Trumps father was a hitler sympathizer. Donald trump admires every current Head Of State in the world who exhibits tendencies like hitler. The day after donald trump praised victor orban for his dictator like behavior in hungary, joe biden said this in georgia. Here is the guy kicking off his campaign with Marjorie Taylor greene. I can tell you a lot about a person he keeps company with. Yesterday he was hosting at his club, victor orban. He says he does not think democracy works. Calling him a fantastic leader. He bragged about calling a king. He called putin and said do whatever you want to our allies. I am not making these quotes up. He says he wants to be a dictator, i believe him. Leading off the discussion tonight, democratic leader, hakeem jeffries. Its an honor to have you joining us tonight. Thank you very much. President biden released his budget that looks like a very big job for speaker hakeem jeffries, if you get enough democrats into the house next year. The biden agenda becomes the speaker jeffries agenda. What for you are the most important things that you believe would have to get done legislatively by the House Of Representatives . We look to continue being supportive of President Biden and his forwardlooking agenda. The budget that was released today would continue, the effort to grow the economy from the middle out and bottom up. With the focus of Working Families and class families and low across america. We will continue to work to lower costs for everyday americans. We have made progress in that area, as a relates to driving down the high price of life saving drugs. As was mentioned in the State Of The Union, they work needs to continue and we look forward to partnering on that. As President Biden indicated in the context of his budget, we need to protect and strengthen Social Security and medicare, not try to eradicate it as we know it. That is clearly what donald trump and the extreme maga republicans would like to do. Can you share with us for just a moment what it was like to be in the room for the state of the Union Address . I know they are not all the same, but that one was really extraordinary in the way that the president made it interactive. There were so many lines that he spontaneously came up with on the spot because of what he was getting, the negative feedback from the republican side of the house. It was a hostile Work Environment that President Biden was dealing with in terms of delivering the state of the Union Address with the likes of Marjorie Taylor greene and others, who are completely out of control and behave in a manner unbecoming of a member of congress. President biden knew what he was dealing with. It was highstakes, it was intense. It also was an electric environment. His remarks were strong. They were serious. They were substantive. They penetrated and he kept it at a high level from the very beginning of his remarks, starting by Referencing Fdr and the dynamics in this country during the start of world war ii. He stayed at a high level all the way through till the end. I want to listen to more of what the president said about the billionaires tax. This is in New Hampshire today. Do you know what the average tax rate is . 8. 2 . Anybody want to trade your tax rate . I am serious. If we just charge them 25 , not the highest rate, 25 do you know how much that would raise over the next 10 years . 400 billion. 40 billion a year. Thats what we could do. From cutting a deficit, providing childcare, healthcare, to provide to the military all they need. We have been in a cycle for decades now, where republican president s come into office with republican assistance in the congress, they enact sending tax cuts that dramatically increase the budget deficit. Dramatically increased the national debt. Is furloughed at some point by a democratic administrative, who fills the responsibility to rebuild sanity by increasing taxes. Over decades, i have not heard a democrat find the case, make the case, in speeches, for the democratic tax policy better than i heard joe biden in the state of the Union Address and on the Campaign Trail since then. As you know, as a constitution requires, all Tax Legislation begins under your jurisdiction. The house has the gophers. What you are hearing about the biden approach to taxes, is that possible with a democratic majority in the House Of Representatives . . I certainly believe and the support his vision to make sure we have a tax code that is centered on Economic Growth and growing the middle class, and all of Those Americans who inspired to be part of it. And through things like the enhanced and improved child tax credit. That was part of the American Rescue plan. Republicans allowed it to lapse. We want to restore it. The most robust fashion, because it was an incredible tax cut for Working Families, low income families, and middle class families, in terms of returning money into their pockets that could be used for day to day expenses. It was a spectacular success. With the extreme maga republican vision, when they have the ability to address the issues, they had the gop tax scam. 85 of the taxes went to the wealthiest 1 . They settled our children and grandchildren with 2 trillion worth of debt unnecessarily in order to subsidize the lifestyles of the wealthy and wellconnected. President biden is leaning into this issue. It is a winning issue. More importantly, it is the right issue for the American People. As you know, one of your leading predecessors, house speaker, tip oneill, used to say that all politics was local. He meant there was a massive majority of democrats in the House Of Representatives, because they all ran on local issues. Whether being elected in alabama, alaska, or anywhere else. He never tried to impose or suggest to them a National Campaign message. Has that balance changed . Surely, house raises local issues, but is there a balance for the house raises you are looking at this year, to also have a unifying National Message . We have a topline lens in terms of how we are conducting ourselves in washington, d. C. It unifies the caucus from progresses, new democrats, all plates in between. We will continue to put people over politics. To focus on kitchen table, bread and butter issues like lowering costs, better paying jobs, growing the middle class, and keeping our communities safe. We have said since the beginning that we will find Common Ground with republican colleagues on any issue whenever possible. In order to make life better for the American People. At the same time, we will push back against the extremists whenever necessary. They are extreme in every way possible. Reproductive freedom, want to criminalize abortion care. Get rid of ivf. Impose a nationwide man. We believe a woman should make her own decisions. We believe in Social Security and medicare. They want to end it and, that is extreme. We believe in democracy. President trump, former president trump, has indicated he wants to be a dictator on day one. By their extremism, they have in some ways nationalized mistakes. They are so out of control, they will continue to put people over politics. Congressman jeffries, one election away from being speaker jeffries, thank you for starting off the discussions.
