Paul ryan proposes changes to americas safety net will stop safety net. Patrick is calling in on our republican line from florida. High, patrick. Caller good morning. Personally, i think cspan should show a lot more honesty with the people they bring out. One, you never talk about prescription narcotics overwhelming our system. Its not marijuana that you love to say is the first teenage drug. Its the prescription narcotic that they generally steal from their parents. No one keeps an eye on that. Secondly, its beyond me the way cspan will trot out some typically Southeastern State that whines about the big federal government when they send in one dollar to the fed 1. 50,s one dollar 50 two dollars, three dollars back for their state budget in federal subsidies. Who was that guy whining about that voter fraud, voter fraud . Did he go down there and talk about voter fraud . Did you bring him down there to talk about voter fraud . Of course you did. Host anything else, patrick . Caller i think cspan should show a lot more honesty instead of this constant leftright crap that youve done for 30 years. Its kind of sick mean, actually. Host why do you watch . Caller to keep an eye on the enemy of the state. As far as im concerned, my land is just a fifth column. Just ruined the executive and legislative ranch come and now you want to put cameras in the judicial branch. Host weaver wind . Caller host we have ruined . Think you want to bring out grover norquist, its always taxes, taxes. You never want to talk about subsidies. Its the thing about Corporate Tax rates. O, just go to ireland. Let ireland send in the two battle groups over to the persian gulf to settle things now. Or send the irish troops over to your claim there is a tsunami in thailand. Let ireland send all the food and personnel and everything else. Time,patrick, one more you thing brian lamb is what . Caller a fifth columnist. The guys during the mccarthy years to try and ruin american society. Host patrick, thank you for calling in. Thank you for watching. I look forward to hearing from you in about 30 days. The next headline the dell in harrisburg, pennsylvania on our democrat line. What is the Public Policy issue you want to discuss this morning . Nadelle . Caller yes. I have a problem with the United States. About Foreign Countries instead of those who helped create it. Obama and all of them seem to worry about all of these different children in all of these other countries. Why dont they worry about the United States . The United States into mind their own business. If those other countries dont care about them or themselves, that is their problem. What they are doing to us, the foreign people come here and they take our tax money. They get more money than we are. They can come here and be put into brandnew homes, which people work all of their life here. And they cannot even get a home. They get our Social Security. If you go to pennsylvania, you will if you go to Social Security in pennsylvania, you will see more foreign people eligible for it. That is not right. Im sorry, and this is wrong. Everybody has equal rights, but take care of home first. Charity begins at home and spreads abroad. It is wrong, what you are doing to the people of the United States. It is just really weird. You have black people, white people that is here. Do people realize that the white house was built by blacks . Do they realize that, and that they had to pay five dollars a week and they would take it back to their slave owners. And yet, you would bring those foreign people year and give them more rights than you do us. That is not right. Host thank you. Mississippi on the republican line. What is on your mind . Caller i agree with everything that lady just said, but i would also like to make a suggestion just out of curiosity, and not trying to be ugly or anything. I would just like to know, the people that call in, i would like you to ask them a question. Do they pay federal income tax theyor do they not do pay federal income tax, or do they not . And just take a tally of the , of what they are for. Ive been i can guarantee you that it makes a big difference whether you pay federal tax. The American People, the middleclass that are paying federal tax for all of these other services, the millions of dollars the government gives away without even thinking about it, i can guarantee you it is very hard for the middleclass to either make ends meet now to even make ends meet now. Pay taxes. To and it is constantly in the news how our taxes are going all over the world and we can barely make it. I agree with that lady, it is not right for stop it is not fair. The wealthy can do it will sub they have plenty of money. The low income people can do it because they get plenty of money. At the middleclass people are the ones that our backs are breaking and we are fed up. Host how much do you pay in federal taxes . About 12,000 to 14,000 a year. My husband and myself, we are getting on up in age and it is very hard for us to go to work every day. Matter how weno feel, and it is so aggravating. We are all angry out here. It is not because we dont care about people in the world, but we feel like it is all on our backs and we are fed up. And the democrats and all of just wrong. Its nobody cares about the United States of america as a whole. They care about themselves. They are all selfcentered. Nobody cares about the country anymore. The democrats dont care. They care more about themselves than they do our country come and we are like a sinking lifeboat. Thank you very much. Host here are some of the local papers. Here is the Arizona Republic talking about public execution. The director of the Arizona Department of corrections said thursday that the two hourlong execution recently was not botched. Assistant attorney general was talking to ryan when he was an drifted by a call from the u. S. District court. He told u. S. District court that there was no point in stopping the execution, that wood had been given a second dose of drugs and that the doctor conducting the execution had already told brian that he was already braindead. Gaspingd his reported and struggling for breath and involuntary reaction. That is from the Arizona Republic. Detroit free press this morning. And the help houston chronicle, a little bit from the Houston Houston chronicle this morning. Up next is russ from windsor, connecticut this morning. What is on your mind . Caller yesterday, you had a guest from the house, from the military commission or Something Like that. And he was talking about how america is no longer such a great power, how we need to increase our military. I just want to call and say i think this is ridiculous. How many times over the years america spendsat more money on its military than the rest of the world combined . How can we possibly have a second rate military if that is what we are doing . We have seen the limits of our military power. And i want to talk about the two wars in iraq that weve had, the first one by bush the greater. The we got together with whole world and bomb them back to the stone age, if you remember that is what we used to say. And then by bush, the idiot. When we attacked them for no reason at all. They have not done anything. And we started talking about shock and awe. And we bombed them and we defeated them and everything, and guess what, they are still there. We have learnt the limits of our military power. Money id more dont know if we still do it, but i know over the years we have spent more money than the rest of the world put together. And we have used our military might come and we have not defeated anybody. These wars go on and on and on. Host russ from connecticut. Conaway, ake republican from texas that was on yesterday. Jill ester is calling in from harlem, georgia. Did i say your name correctly echo caller did i say your name correctly . Caller correctly, thats it. Host please go ahead, sir. From theim calling state of georgia. Im a democrat. Our presented in georgia always talks about confusion, confusion. People need jobs and the minimum wage needs to be increased. Knuckleheads always want to talk about this and that and that, food stamps or , weighinglike that down president obama. It is wrong. Republicans need to wake up and vote their interests. Thank you. Host thank you. Debbie in troy, ohio, independent line. Caller good morning, cspan. That the u. N. And the american taxpayers, all of the scholars talk about their money and how they are taking it you know, our taxes. We are supporting hamas. We help the palestinians and the terrorist organization, you know money andith taxpayer the u. N. Help them. They knew what they were doing, running around with the terrorists and everything. We better stand with israel. I know everybody is tired of wars. If you dont stand up and defend yourself, you are going to get your head cut off by hamas. John kerry should be ashamed of himself. Its all the iranians. They are supporting the terrorist organization hamas. Andpe israel blows them up, iran, and everybody better be on the right side, because god is going to judge america with obamas leadership, and john kerry. Kerry speak. He sticks out his tongue like a devil, because that is what they are. We better stop sending money to hamas. All right, debbie in troy, ohio. Here is another headline. Here is his picture. Of the president ceremonial post in iraq. Baltimore, fleetwood, a democrat who stop caller good morning. I think sometimes republicans vote against their own interests , like the gentleman caller who spoke ahead. Is trying to put into a lot of policies that would help a lot of people. Governors from some state wont accept the help, but theyre going to pay for it anyway. They will pay for obamacare i not even see the benefits. How can you do things like that where you vote against your own interests . Paul ryan, to me, he always has these benefits and is mentioning welfare. Black people pay taxes just as well as republicans. And i think its a shame that he uses those kinds of things to separate us and we can never get together unless he stops. Host what do you mean by code red . Caller this is what i feel. I feel like they say middleclass is a separation. A lot of people feel that they are middleclass and they are struggling just like every body else. Believe it or not, i believe that middleclass is a separation of whites and black. I do believe that. Host you think the term middleclass means white . Caller yes, i do. Yes, i do. I know that it is not only White Feather in the middle class, but i think that it does whites only that are in the middle class, but i think that it does. Host thank you. Tim in maine, youre on the air. Morning. Good thank you for cspan and showing the good debate and stuff. I just want to comment on ukraine. I think that president putin is advancing in ukraine and i think the very dangerous thing. I think he is looking probably at central europe, and like hitler, he took countries and nobody really did anything. I think he is going to advance until somebody confronts him with a military that will fight him. We need to get in there and stop him from advancing into central europe. That is my comment. Host thank you, and in fact, Time Magazine this week has their cover story over whether or not cold war to is starting cold war ii is starting, and when scott rigell comes out in a little while, we will talk about that. Gary, you are on the washington journal. Caller good morning. I would like to make a comment about the bills pending in the house of representatives, what theyre doing with the countries administration. It seems that from the coverage you been providing that ive watched in the last couple of months that the republicans do not seem to want to improve the v. A. , but dismantle it. They will use it as an example of failed Government Health care , and then compare it to the Affordable Health care act and try to dismantle that also. That is my first point. The second point is, they want to send the veterans and i am a veteran out into the private sector. You look at our private sector and it is really in bad shape as well. As compared to 11 other developed countries, we pay the most for health care and have the worst outcomes. And my third point, and as i mentioned, im a veteran, i dont appreciate being used as a while Veterans Health care is being compromised. Those are my three points. Host that is gary in memphis. This is willard tweeting in. And this is john in north carolina. And another headline. In your,call is anne pennsylvania, calling on a democrat line. Caller i was calling about the border situation. A couple of years ago, i see the capital in the background. I made a wrong turn a couple of locks from the capital and i was in a third world country. And this is in the capital of our country. Weple keep saying how rich are. We do not feel rich in places like york. Our manufacturing has been sent overseas. Young people do not have jobs. And when president obama, who i worked very hard to elect here for the two times that he ran, when he gave the dreamers 800,000 right to stay in the United States, that was an absolute magnitude Central America and mexico to come in here. Million legal immigrants a year and half of them are hispanic. We are being overwhelmed by other cultures and the loss of manufacturing. Im so disappointed in president obama. And luis geter is representative from chicago, luis guitterez, the representative from chicago, what is he saying echo that Illegal Immigrants who can vote will want anyone of hispanic heritage to come into United States because they harnessed they are hispanic echo i dont think that is true. Host from the Washington Times, obama urges congress to tighten up tax loopholes. Lydia, conroe, texas, republican. You are on the washington journal. Caller thank you for cspan. I want to say that lately, cspan has been so negative with that i have tos stop watching. I cant go to work when i hear Something Like that in the morning and be a good person at work. I just want to remind everybody that our representatives are getting ready to go on their vacation, their summer vacation. And that built to support our veterans has still gone nowhere. Our veterans still dont have dental care. If you think your representative is doing what he needs to be doing, then you are wrong. That is the most important thing. Bernie sanders has been trying to get that through since february or march. Call your representatives, because that is not good. Of course, i thank you for cspan. , and i dont know does it make any difference anymore . Host where is conroe, texas, lidia . Caller we are in a very hot place right outside of houston, texas. Host and what kind of work do you do . Caller i work with children. Im a retired teacher. You see the effects of illegal immigration in conroe, texas . Caller oak am a my. We have a facility that houses a very small amount of these children. We have worked before to try to pass a law that no one can rent. O any legal an illegal this facility, they want a closed or run out of town. Lets think about this. These children, all of these people ought to be here. Somebody has to take care of them, and this facility, they are being paid for by the government. Our economy needs jobs and we need money. Its the practical and not put our hate before our pocketbooks. Lets be practical and not put our hate before our pocketbooks. Maybe im the one that is out of whack. I dont know. Host thank you, maam. Built bill in illinois. My comment is recently, president obama requested 3. 7 billion dollars for the children that have come across the border from these latin american countries. It has been estimated by both cspan not cspan. Cnn, wall street journal, and x news that each child across america, for each child, 67,000 a year for a minimum of no less th
